Chapter 1219 The Dual Powers
Chapter 1219 The Dual Powers
In the blink of an eye, Guillermo and Mordechai released their wood power to their extremes, filling the entire Combat Space. In the air, the two wood dragons they had formed using their wood power collided multiple times but they seemed to be evenly matched.
When the worlds and wood dragons created by Guillermo and Mordechai were broken, they were forced to separate for the first time since the battle had started.
And the moment that they separated, they started garnering their wood power again.
"Omnipotent Skill—Vine Strangling!" both of them yelled.
The same Omnipotent Skill began brewing, and it was obvious that the skill exclusively belonged to the wood branch, not the one that they learned during their exploration.
In an instant, two beams of green light shone, filling the entire Combat Space. Woven around them were numerous vine shadows.
All the nearby disciples could feel the force released by the vine shadows and they stepped back. If they were the ones targeted by the vine shadows, they would likely be strangled to death.
When the two streaks of green light collided with each other, the shock waves that were produced spread over the entire Combat Space,
forcing Guillermo and Mordechai to separate again.
This round also ended in a tie.
"Ricky, I don't think Mordechai is that strong, at least from what I can see," Amelia said through telepathy.
"That's because he doesn't go all out. Ashley fully understands the strength of the talented disciples from the wood branch, and she thinks highly of Mordechai. He must have something up his sleeve," Ricky replied.
"During the battle, I also used the power of my zone to feel his strength. I've determined that he is a threat to me," he added.
"Really?" Amelia asked,
frowning.
'Now that two rounds have ended in a tie, they should show their trump cards soon. Otherwise, every round will result in a draw no matter how long they fight,' Ricky thought.
Standing on the back of his wood dragon, Guillermo gestured several times with his hands and released the power of the Stellar Wood Mutant. "Stellar Wood Mutant, summon the Stellar Wood Buddha to fight!" he shouted.
Behind him, the huge Buddha shadow appeared. It stretched out its hands and thrust them forward, creating numerous giant palm shadows.
"Mordechai, it's time to activate the power of your mutant. I've heard the rumors. You possess it but you've never revealed it," Guillermo said ferociously.
"Guillermo, I still have the wood-related Omnipotent Skill to unleash. How about I show you that instead?" Mordechai responded with a small smile.
"You're overconfident, my friend!" Guillermo's face turned dark when he heard that Mordechai had no intention of activating the power of his mutant. He raised his arms and directed the palm shadows at his arrogant foe.
'And because of his arrogance, I will defeat him in one strike!' Guillermo thought.
"Omnipotent Skill—Wood-Flower Attack!" Mordechai shouted.
Both of his pupils instantly turned green. As he released the ruling power, thick trees shot out of the ground in the forests he created behind him, and there was a green flower sprouting on each tree.
It didn't take long for the trees and the green flowers to merge.
Soon, a giant flower and a giant tree rooted in Mordechai's head and grew tall. The tree wrapped itself around the flower.
"Suppress!" Mordechai roared.
The great flower and the giant tree reached towards the palm shadows, slowly stretching their roots and branches. Mordechai kept fusing his power to feed the flower and the tree.
Boom! The two attacks collided in mid-air, resulting in a sound so loud that everyone's ears began ringing.
Then, the tree and the flower crushed every single palm shadow in sight.
When Guillermo saw this, his pupils widened in shock and he stumbled backwards. As he regained his senses, his face twisted in anger.
He couldn't believe that he had lost to Mordechai. If he were defeated, he would not have the chance to fight against Ricky over the position of the holy son.
"Mordechai's realm is undoubtedly higher than Guillermo's," Ricky murmured to himself.
"Is Guillermo going to lose?" an onlooking warrior wondered aloud.
The others quietly chimed in with similar opinions.
"Mordechai, I was saving this for Ricky, but now I'm forced to use it on you!" Guillermo roared. Although he didn't want to waste his secret skill, Guillermo had to swallow his pride and do it anyway.
The instant he had finished speaking, four drops of blood essence dripped from between his eyebrows and flew into the air.
Two of them mixed with the power of wood, and the rest merged with the power of star.
After absorbing the blood essence, the two powers whirled together and produced dragon shadows.
"Omnipotent Skill—Summoning dragons from the star and wood powers!" Guillermo ordered in a low voice.
At the clap of his hands, the dragon shadows made from two powers merged into one.
Looking around, Mordechai couldn't see Guillermo. It turned out that he had also merged with the dragon shadow.
The dragon shadow let out a thunderous roar and pounced on Mordechai.
"That's an impressive Omnipotent Skill. The dragon shadow has thirty percent of the strength of the Great Dragon," Ricky remarked. "It looks like Guillermo has been working hard over the past month improving his strength in order to defeat me."
"It's a shame that he will not have the chance to battle you in this selection," Tina commented as she continued to watch the fight unfold.
With the way things were going, she was certain that Guillermo would be defeated.
A loud crack
filled the air.
Now that Guillermo was using a more potent attack, Mordechai was forced to show his trump card. Another power was quickly released from the wood power.
Mordechai shot up from the ground like a giant. The sound of bones cracking in his body could be heard for miles.
Then, huge, white bones pierced through Mordechai's skin one after another, making him look terrifying.
"Does he possess the Bone Mutant?" Tina asked Ricky. Shock was written into every inch of her face.
"I don't think so. I don't sense any mutant power from him," Ricky said, shaking his head.
"I heard that Mordechai can cultivate the bone power and the wood power. This must be his bone power!" one of the nearby disciples exclaimed.
"I think that's the bone power, not the mutant power," Ricky said after hearing the whispers of the disciples. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Guillermo laughed loudly.
"You released your bone power instead of your mutant power. Do you really think you can beat me with that?" Guillermo asked, narrowing his eyes.
The fact that Mordechai still hadn't activated his mutant was beginning to get on his nerves.
"The bone power will be enough to handle you," Mordechai said in a playful tone. A ferocious look replaced his previously expressionless one.
It appeared that his bone power had changed Mordechai's character, making him violent and cruel.
"Come on!"
The dragon shadow growled as it pounced on Mordechai.
"Merge now!" Mordechai yelled in a hoarse voice.
The bones combined and turned into white, bamboo-shaped stick. The wood power was condensed into green leaves and they attached themselves onto the stick.
A destructive power covered the outside of the bone stick.
Mordechai wrapped his hand around the bone stick and slashed it at the dragon shadow.
The sound of the collison rang through the air again.
A shock wave was produced and everything fell silent.
Soon, the result would be revealed.
Ricky peered at the two competitors.
"Ashley, could you tell me what kind of mutant Mordechai possesses?" Ricky asked through telepathy.
"What's up? Are you afraid of him now?" Ashley replied teasingly.
"If I were scared of him, I would not join the fight over the position of the holy son. I am just curious," Ricky answered.
"Unfortunately, I have no clue. I'm as curious as you," Ashley said with a sneer. "And even if I did know, what makes you think I would answer your question?"
"Well, never mind!" Ricky exclaimed, huffing and crossing his arms over his chest.
