Rise of The Undead Legion

"Gotta say, you got me looking like a certain Angle of Death. You know with the hole and everything, all I'm missing are big ass horns and a pissed attitude. And I got em both," Dave grinned as the wind blew through the massive hole in his chest.

He took a step forward, the General waved his glaive, twirled it until it caught flame, and then pointed it at Dave, aiming to strike once again with his same attack.

The aura around Dave began changing, growing thicker, the color of blood. Red lightning crackled as both he, and the massive floating skull behind him grew horns. Dave had entered Demonic Ascension.

"This isn't a Cero, but It's the closest I got," Dave uttered in a deep demonic voice. He opened his jaws wide, releasing the pent up demonic and chaotic energy within him, a ray of flames hot enough to melt rock.

Dave's attack and the general collided, a mixture of flames gathered in the center of the arena, morphed, coalesced, and coiled around each other, creating an ever so growing ball of flame that kept increasing in size as the two fueled it with fire.

The energy from the general's art ended long before the fires from Dave's Ray of Flames were snuffed. Causing the massive amalgamating ball of fire to spin in the direction of the heavenly general.

"Holy Imperial Art! Second Emperor! Flood Gates!"

The general sliced at the ground, causing the stone to shatter and from within the stone surged massive loads of water, enough to drown and submerge anything that came its way.

The water torrent coiled around the fireball, steam surged as popping sounds and explosions occurred when water and fire met. The water's aim was to submerge and snuff the fire from existence, yet the heavenly general underestimated both his own fire and Dave's chaos flames. The fireball continued its spiraling motion toward the general, even against the aquatic surge, the fire moved with relentless stubbornness until it was nothing but a few feet in front of the general. Much of its mass was consumed and exhausted due to the still pouring water, but it was not enough. The flames, pressed and suppressed, found no other way than to relieve the increased pressure but through the most violent manifestation of flames. An explosion.

The ball abruptly blew in the face of the general, in an instant Dagla stood up and stabbed his scepter down. A massive surge of energy erupted from the bottom of his staff, the energy was enough that for a fraction of a second if one were to look at Dagla, they wouldn't see the handsome yet beautiful Sun Elf anymore, he was back to his undeath appearance, even if it was for just a moment.

That's a sign of how much energy Dagla had used at that moment, and thanks to it, the explosion didn't go beyond the rims of the arena. Stopped by the barrier Dagla created to bounce against its sides and anyone and anything inside it.

Not even Dave was an exception, an explosion in an enclosed space knew no friend or foe. It just sought destruction.

Dave was thrown to the side of the rim, his body stuck to it and the surge of explosive energy was pushing him against Dagla's barrier. His joints began to creak and crackle.

He didn't know what happened to Ouki, the power of this explosion was too enormous that his massive HP was decreasing at a ridiculously rapid rate.

"Shit, no choice," Dave uttered and tightened his grip on Ajax's handle.

The shield opened up its jaws and consumed the energy as it had never been there before. The pressure disappeared in a fraction of a moment. And Dave found himself face-first on the ground.

He stood up, took a deep breath, and checked his own state.

Dave snorted; Albert is back with his snarky remarks.

Right in front of Dave, stood the general, one arm missing from the shoulder down, one leg, that had just bone in it, fractured and seared black. Half of his face melted and the other half just gone. While his remaining hand gripped at the glaive.

"G-gotta admit…" the genera stuttered, not out of fear, but there was still smoke rising from his half-cooked throat. "That one hurt…"

"Holy Imperial art, Fifth Emperor, Earth's Vigor."

The General's body began regenerating, at an astonishing rate even, his destroyed limb grew from the shoulder down, creating flesh and bloodless veins. His leg and face were reconstructed, reformed, and for a moment, he was back in his human appearance, an eastern looking man, with long hair and a long beard. An evil glare to his eyes. But a wide smile on his face. Soon the Undeath Curse took over, negating his human form and returning him back to his undead form. He was fully revitalized.

"Shit, the bastard restored all of his HP."

Dave flexed his shoulders; in this fight, he didn't come up on top. The undead in front of him was full health while he lost almost half of his. Dave steadied his stance and began walking toward the heavenly general.

He unequipped Durandal and Ajax and switched to the Sworn Stalwart's gauntlets. In his demonic ascension, the Gauntlets turned to sharp jagged claws. Dave threw a punch at the general, he was far away from him, but the Dragon Art hidden in his arsenal was enough. It sent a dragon surging toward the general.

The Serpentinian eastern dragon moved like a train toward the general, the latter dodged to the side only to have the dragon miss and tilt his head, biting at the general's back. The general was pushed forward, staggering he received Dave's flying kick to the face, which also sent another dragon surging from the general's head.

Dave used [Awakened Dragon] and began an automated assault. His claws were as sharp as swords, so the general needed to block with the glaive. A miss cost him an ear. Another miss-timed block cost him a rib that Dave pierced through with his claw.

Dave made a leg sweep that caused the general to fall on his back, he then stabbed down with his fingers like a sword. Ouki hastily twisted his body avoiding Dave's hand that bore through the ground like it was made of paper. He then sent an elbow to Dave's face and kicked his legs causing the draugr to fall on the general.

The two wrestled against each other. But Dave had the upper hand, the aura of the [Oppression of the Infernal Tyrant] was gnawing at his HP, along with the mana burn effect of Demonic ascension.

Dave smashed the general around, and mounted him on the chest, he began punching the general, fist and claw to the face, black blood splattered around the arena floor. As Dave kept punching and punching. The general tried to defend himself, but his hands were no match to Dave's empowered claws.

For a moment the general thought that he was going to die, only to have Dave's aura suddenly stop. His Demonic Ascension had reached its time limit and he could no longer sap the general's mana.

"Imperial art! Third Emperor, Stone Breaking Gales!"

Wind like none Dave had seen before came and swept him off of his feet then smashed him against Dagla's protective barrier. Dave had the wind literally blown out of him.

A violent surge of wind was covering Dagla from head to toe, Dave shot another [Ray of Flames] that was set to no cooldown when he activated [Awakened Dragon] the ray of flames shot forward, but it failed to pierce through the wind barrier, it crashed against it but was diverted and splattered against the barrier failing to do any harm.

The general slashed three times at Dave in rapid succession, three wind blades materialized from his glaive and shot straight ahead. One of the wind blades was too close to the ground that it sliced at it as it moved toward Dave carving the ground as if it was wet sand.

Before the wind could even reach Dave.

"Holy Imperial art, Five colored Emperors, Jade Emperor!"

A green sheen covered the general then he stomped the ground, jade made hands emerged from under Dave's arm and grabbed at him tightly not letting him move an inch. He couldn't even use [Immortal Ascension] to teleport out of the way, nor was he able to use his legacy due to its cooldown after having used it to fight the Naandloushii this morning.

The wind blades were coming fast, and the heavenly general has begun materializing an Aura effect. Things didn't look too well for Dave. But when did they ever do?
