The Lord Is Too Overbearing

Basil swung Caliburn powerfully as he infused his Qi inside it. The Qi was immediately discharged the moment it clashed against Cabalen's sword, throwing Cabalen away to the back.

Boom!

Cabalen skidded on the ground due to that, and he immediately swiped the air with his sword in anger the moment he stopped skidding. He couldn't believe that Basil, who he had thrashed around a few moments ago, could actually match him.

"That accursed sword! Just how could he get Solo—"

"Stop speaking nonsense, won't you?"

Bam!

Cabalen couldn't finish his sentence as Basil interrupted him with a kick. Basil managed to kick him square in his jaw, and it was powerful enough to dislocate his jaw.

Being thrown away yet again, Cabalen wasn't amused in the slightest, however Basil, like what Cabalen had done to him, didn't give Cabalen a time to prepare for his ultimate attack.

For three minutes now, Basil had only let Cabalen speak Dragon Language for simple purposes: strengthening his body, accelerating his speed, and improving his reflex. Because of that, Cabalen was overwhelmed.

Basil was already fast even before he wielded Caliburn—it was enough to match Cabalen's speed after being enhanced by Dragon Language. Now that he was wielding Caliburn, his speed became even more absurd.

Given Basil's monstrous control over his Mana and Qi, and his quick thinking ability, he didn't even stop for a second in attacking Cabalen.

He didn't attack Cabalen with fancy Techniques or dangerous Art—he attacked Cabalen with his pure swordmanship—but the extremely short interval between each of his attacks and also his monstrous power could overwhelm Cabalen.

Cabalen didn't like it in the slightest. He had many options to blast Basil away, but to do that he needed to make distance between himself and basil first; alas, he couldn't do that at the moment.

He could just still use his Dragon Language to activate the Magic to blast Basil away regardless of their distance, but he would also get hit by his own Magic by then.

He could recover fairly quickly even if that was the case, but he couldn't guarantee if the Magic would work on Basil. There was a high possibility that Basil could dodge it, and thus he refrained himself to use such a Magic for the time being.

"[Kyxí fous]!"

Cabalen swung his sword at Basil, discharging a Mana blade that went towards Basil in the process. The Mana blade amplified the power of his swing on top of preventing Basil to go any closer to him.

It worked the same like Qi Blade, but due to the influence of Dragon Language, it was more potent than Qi Blade. Of course, that didn't mean it could hurt Basil; he could cut through it just fine.

Shatter!

Cabalen had expected something like that to happen, so he was ready to block Basil's sword when it came at him.

Boom!

Just a clash between the two people's swords was enough to make a crater on the ground. In fact, wherever they were standing on, a crater would form for sure—even if they were inside a crater.

Since their strength was roughly on par, both of their hands trembled as they kept each other's sword at bay. While Cabalen was gritting his teeth due to his indignation, Basil was keeping a calm smile on his face.

'This is humiliating! How can a human match me?!'

'I need to end the fight quick—the Energy consumption is great!'

While having different thoughts about the situation in their mind, they were eager to kill each other. Basil, for his survival, and Cabalen, for the sake of eliminating someone that might endanger his Prince's plan.

As different kinds of Mana and Qi overwhelmed the air, the sword of the fighting Demon and Pacifer pair glowed brightly. One in a bright, menacing, crimson light, meanwhile the other one in a bright golden light.

"I will eliminate you, human!"

"I will take your head, Demon."

Boom!

The interval between the moment they retracted their sword and the moment their sword clashed against each other didn't even reach half a second. In fact, it happened so fast they didn't even look like they had moved their sword.

As the two different Energies with also different natures clashed against each other, the ground below where the two people were standing on developed a deeper crater that also swallowed another crater beside it.

The clash was exceptional this time, so both Basil and Cabalen were thrown away to the back. Despite so, all of them could quickly fix their posture before going at each other again.

"[Astra dépas]!"

As Cabalen extended his left hand, a lightning strike that looked like the roots of a tree went at Basil. It looked just like a normal lightning, but each of its root was heading towards Basil's possible escape.

"[Skyscraper]!"

Basil, who knew that the best way to survive the lightning was to take it head on, also didn't stay idle. Tapping the ground with his feet, he cast a Spell that could only be used by the people who had an Affinity with the Sub-Element: Iron.

A pointy, tower-like, iron structure instantly came out of the ground. It was only 10 meters tall, but it attracted the lightning heading towards Basil, preventing it him from striking him.

Looking at the scene, Cabalen couldn't help blinking his eyes in bafflement. He knew Basil was exceptional, but he didn't expect Basil to have another Sub-Element Affinity other than Ice and lightning.

'I wonder if he can use any kind of Magic regardless of his lack of Affinity?'

While Cabalen was right in assuming that Basil could use any kind of Magic, he was wrong to assume Basil was still bound by Affinity. Basil didn't need any of that in the very first place—he didn't even have one.

On the first day he had arrived at Randalvine Magic Institute, Iliana had helped him test his Affinity as he waited for the making his student's identification card. He found that he had none, and it extremely baffled Iliana.

Basil had never tested his Affinity even in his past life, but he could still use every existing Elemental Magic regardless. He had suspected he had an Affinity with all of the Elements at first, but it had been proven it wasn't the case.

He didn't react much to the revelation in spite of his inability to explain his situation, however he was sure it had something to do with his unknown heritage ... At least, that was what he had thought at that time.

Upon knowing that Iliana also came from the same Clan as him, he wasn't sure if his condition was due to his heritage. After all, Iliana only had Affinities with the Four Main Elements, unlike him, who had none but could use everything.

"[Shredder]!"

"[Frogovóli]!"

As Basil created thousands of wind blades to shred Cabalen to pieces, Cabalen shot fire from his mouth. The fire was big enough to burn a five storey building to ashes, but as it clashed with Basil's wind blades, it went towards Cabalen instead.

Cabalen clicked his tongue at his wasted use of Dragon Language, then shot a water cannonball at the fire rapidly coming his way.

Sizzle!

The water cannonball immediately evaporated due to the high temperature of the fire, but it managed to prevent the fire from reaching Cabalen. On the other hand however, his surrounding was covered with steam.

It posed no trouble to him since he could see just find, but he had never expected Basil to have a creative way to make use of the situation.

Crackle!

"Was that electricity?"

Cabalen frowned as he noticed the brief flicker of light in the moist air. He soon ignored it however, since he was still busy trying to locate Basil.

It didn't take him long to decide to just blow away the steam with Wind Magic, but the moment he was about to use Wind Magic to do that was the exact moment he realized the absurd increase of static in the air.

Logically speaking, as the air had gotten hotter and more humid than before due to the steam, the static in the air should drop instead of rising, which means, the increase of static in the air was caused by something else.

"This accursed human!"

Cabalen realized what Basil was going to do at the exact moment he noticed a lightning strike was coming down the sky at him. It easily outclassed the power of his lightning earlier, so it would paralyze him if he got hit by it.

Deciding to take a page out of Basil's book, using Dragon Language to use Iron Magic, he crouched then covered himself with an iron case. He hoped it would be able to distract the lightning.

Boom!

As the lightning struck the iron case, the water vapour surrounding the case was overwhelmed with electricity. One could easily see the electricity sparkled in it, creating a scene that one would only see during a storm.

Basil coldly watched the scene from the place where the electricity didn't reach him, meanwhile Cabalen was gritting his teeth in rage inside his iron case.

Cabalen couldn't feel his body as the case didn't completely protect him from the lightning—he dreaded what would happen to him.

"That human... He shouldn't be able to do anything either." Through his gritted teeth, Cabalen forced a ridiculing laugh.

He genuinely thought Basil couldn't do anything to him either since the place he was currently at was covered with a high voltage electricity that would also endanger Basil.

Alas, it wouldn't be Basil if his power could hurt him. None of the small lightning hitting the case hit him as they all avoided him even though he was standing in their way.

Standing right in front of the black iron case, holding Caliburn vertically, was Basil infusing a part of Asia's Evolving soul into Caliburn.

Caliburn could handle more than 50% of Asia's soul, however 50% was Basil's limit in his current state. 50% was even him stretching himself, but it was the amount needed to kill Cabalen.

He might look uninjured from the outside, but his Core and Mana heart had been exhausted throughout his fight with Cabalen.

"Demons are gifted in terms of power. Sadly, none of you is bright enough in using it." Basil looked at the cage coldly. "Maybe this is also the reason why you have lost your Authority."

Caliburn glowed brightly in gold, illuminating the whole area that was covered in steam as a crushing pressure descended upon the whole battlefield.

Basil swung his sword down in the next moment, releasing the monstrous power contained in Caliburn.

[Synchronization]!

BOOM!

The whole battlefield—the world was temporarily colored in white as the explosion sound slowly faded, leaving everyone to enjoy an eerie silence.
