Chapter 901: Absolute Defeat

chapter 901: absolute defeat



adonis staggered to his feet, his breaths ragged and uneven.

the golden glow of his energy slowly began to rise and crackle. it illuminated the tension in the air, casting shadows across the ancient chamber. rey stood unmoving, his calm demeanor a stark contrast to adonis' frenzied state.

"[perfect divine sword summon]!" adonis growled.

the radiant blade materialized in his grip, its brilliance pulsating with divine energy. despite the exhaustion creeping into his limbs, his resolve hadn't wavered.

rey stood a short distance away, his posture relaxed, yet his sheer presence felt

overwhelming. his face was stoic, his eyes cold and unyielding. he hadn't used a single skill, relying solely on raw strength and speed to dominate adonis so far.

"stay down, adonis."

the hero shook his head and kept growling. he tightened his grip on the golden sword, its radiant energy pulsating in his hand.

"i'm not giving up, rey!" he yelled, the sound echoing through the chamber.

rey tilted his head slightly, his expression unchanging. "you've already lost, adonis. stop this before it gets worse."

"never!"

with a battle cry, adonis launched himself forward, the golden blade cutting through the air as he activated another skill. "[absolute good shall prevail]!" he bellowed. a powerful surge of divine energy enveloped him, amplifying his speed and strength.

the ground beneath his feet cracked with the force of his push, and he closed the gap between them in an instant.

the skill's effect was simple, but also complex.

as long as adonis was doing something good, his power would skyrocket to the proportion of his conviction. in essence, it all depended on his will and unwavering resolve to do the right thing.

and at this moment... that was all that remained within him.

~whuuuuum!~

the strike came fast and hard, aimed directly at rey's chest. but rey moved with almost inhuman precision.

in the end, rey was just simply too strong.

'i have to risk it... i have to use more power!'

-vwuuuuuusshhh!!!~

adonis activated [heroic power], pushing his body beyond its limits. a golden aura enveloped him, and his wounds began to heal. his strength returned in full force, and he prepared for

one final charge.

rey stopped and raised an eyebrow. "you're persistent, i'll give you that."

with a roar, adonis surged forward, every ounce of the power he could afford to use focused on this last attack. his golden aura blazed like the sun, and his movements became a blur as

he swung at rey with everything he had.

rey didn't even dodge.

instead, he caught the incoming strike with one hand. the golden energy surged around him, crackling like a thunderstorm, but rey remained unmoved. his grip tightened on adonis's arm, and with a single, effortless motion, he slammed the hero into the ground. the impact shook the chamber, and adonis let out a choked gasp as the wind was knocked out of him. his aura flickered and died, leaving him splayed out on the floor, utterly defeated. rey stood over him, his expression softening slightly. "stop, adonis. it's over." adonis tried to move, to summon the strength for another attempt, but his body refused to respond. he lay there, staring up at rey with a mix of anger and despair.

"you fought well," rey said, his voice gentler now. "but you can't win this. not against me."

adonis closed his eyes, his breathing ragged as the weight of rey's words settled over him.

the fight was over.

he had suffered an absolute defeat.
