Smoke floated up in the air and the charred remains wolves littered the ground. The lush vegetations that decorated the surroundings had disappeared along with the disappearance of the Lightning Domain that manifested and brought destruction to everything.
Without the blockage of trees. Moonlight freely descended and Dan's eyes widened in shock when he saw the scene tha unveiled itself before him. Ignoring the curled up monstrous wolf. Dan's eyes penetrated behind it and landed on the dozens of tall skyscrapers that pierced through the clouds.
Trembling, Dan was completely sure that the world before him was a complete depiction of the modern world. Tall skyscrapers and dim billboards made from glasses along with gigantic figurines and modern minimalistic design reminded him of Japan's Akihabara.
Despite the colorful designs of the skyscrapers and the tall figurines that depicted freedom and happiness, the gloomy atmosphere that surrounded the area around those buildings and the thick stench of Earth, indicated that life was unlikely present within the City.
"Roaaar!"
An enraged bestial roar awakened Dan from his trance. Darting his gaze back at the monstrous wolf. His eyes widened in shock when he realized that it merely had some scratches. Even with the most powerful technique that he could currently use, the monstrous wolf only sustained minor injuries that couldn't even penetrate its empowered flesh.
His daggers danced and flashed with cold lights. Dan dashed towards the monstrous wolf. Clad in azure Lightning, his speed looked unfathomable and indiscernible. But to the monstrous wolf whose cultivation at least a realm higher than Dan, his speed looked as slow as a turle as repeated slaps from its paws battered Dan's figure.
Clang!
Crossing his daggers in mid-air, Dan clashed against the monstrous wolf's paw. Gnashing his teeth, the earth underneath his feet almost collapsed from the force and the weight of the wolf's attack. Diverting his weight, Dan turned his body to the side and directed the force of the wolf's attack to the ground.
Twisting his body, he ignited his cultivation base and launched himselt towards the monstrous wolf's face. According to the System, with the monstrous wolf's cultivation, its flesh were as hard as steel and its claws as sharp as tempered blade. Nevertheless, it still has a single weak point and that was its eyes.
Without hesitation, Dan twisted his body in mid-air and launched a fierce attack at the monstrous wolf's eyes. His arms shone in a crimson sheen as he activated a skill amidst his bated breath.
[Sudden Strike!]
Bang!
"Awooo!"
The sound of penetrated flesh rang out followed by a miserable cry that shook the surroundings. Dan hurriedly retreated using [Flicker] and ran towards the opposite direction. Observing the monstrous wolf from afar, Dan calmed his furiously breathing heart.
[The host has dealt massive damage to the target! Target's Current HP: 40%]
"Only 40% remaining, I can do this.. The only problem is can I even survive a single attack from this bad boy..." Dan gnashed his teeth and bent his knees, without giving the wolf any time to recover. Dan launched his attacks once again and even hurled numerous Grenades to distract the wolf who covered its another eye with its paw.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Simultaneous defeaning roar of the air being split reverberated across the area. Distracted by the sound of explosions and the intense pain around its body. The wolf turned around and Dan took advantage of this opening. Arriving before its abdomen, Dan maliciously targeted the wolf's family jewels with a palm strike.
[Young Lightning!]
A burst of concentrated Lightning beam exploded from his palms which quickly latched on the wolf's family jewels and electrocuted it. Causing a painful whimpering filled with utmost pain, anger and despair. The pain was too much for it to handle that it didn't counter-attack and just stared resentfully at Dan.
The smell of burnt flesh wafted out in the air and Dan smiled in satisfaction, "Hmmm, Soup number five..." He smirked as he was reminded by the smell of his favorite dish back at his hometown in his previous life. Taking out his handgun, he pointed it at the wolf and in each time the latter concentrated to heal itself, the resonant sound of gunshot interrupted its healing process which almost made it go mad in indignance and anger.
With reddened eyes, it stood up and stared at Dan's direction with complete fury welling up in its eyes. It had enough, it had enough of holding back. It first looked at Dan like he was some kind of an ant but after it suffered the consequences, it finally learned the consequences of holding back against an enemy.
Straightening its hind legs, it lowered its head down to the ground and Dan immediately went into alert mode. Normally, Dan would activate System Assist but since he has decided that he wouldn't rely too much on the System. He didn't activate it and calculated the wolf's pouncing direction in his mind.
Swish~
With faintly visible noise of splitting air, the wolf disappeared from its initial location. Before Dan could react, it appeared behind him and slapped down with its paw.
Bang!
The impact destroyed everything within the area, and sent kilograms of dust flying into the skies, reducing visibility for both parties. Emerging from [Stealth] Dan appeared behind the wolf and clicked his tongue. If not for the fact that he subconsciously activated [Flicker]. His life would've been over. After all, no matter how strong his physique was, it couldn't possibly withstand the all-out attack of a Divine Ascendance Realm beast.
The wolf who was in a state of complete alertness detected Dan's presence and launched a series of counter-attacks. Swiping, slapping and swatting with its paws. It sought to overwhelm Dan with the number of attacks. But unfortunately, Dan had affinity with the most destructive and swiftest element in the cosmos.
With a trail of Lightning, Dan easily avoided the wolf's attack. But his wanton and frantic avoidance didn't come without any consequences. Right now, his Spiritual Energy reserves were being sucked dry faster than a collapsed dam.
"Damn this won't do, I need to find a way to wake Natalie and Grace up so we can join hands and defeat this bastard... The current me isn't simply capable of fighting against a Divine Ascendance Realm expert..." Dan concluded in his mind and ordered the system.
"System, calculate, simulate or analyze and find out ways that I could use to wake up both of my wives!" Dan who promised that he would never use the System within the Array was pushed behind his limits and asked for the System's assistance all the while avoiding the wolf's angered attack against him.
[System Functions Initiating: 50%]
[Due to the number of instructions and factors involved, the completion of the assigned task may take longer than normal. Expected time of completion: 30mins]
Sweeping his gaze across the system notifications in the air, Dan clicked his tongue and violently cursed, "Fucking hell, even the System is forcing me into a corner!" Turning around, he parried an attack and twisted his body. With Lightning protecting his body and increasing his speed, Dan danced around the wolf's body before flying upwards and striking at its nape.
Clang!
A fierce clash ensued, even the wolf's fur was as hard as tempered steel! Dan almost coughed a mouthful of blood in indignance when he discovered this fact. Landing on the ground, he commenced his attack once again, looking for that sweet spot that could induce considerable damage to the wolf before he runs out of Spiritual Energy.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gunshots rang out as Dan fiercely unleashed his load towards the wolf who whimpered in pain. Rotating his body, a magazine appeared out of mid-air and Dan slammed the butt of the gun towards that magazine and cocked it with his waist. Without landing on the ground, he once again started his volley of bullets, intent on looking for that certain spot.
The wolf who felt intense pain throughout its body suddenly roared towards the skies. Moonlight descended and clad its body with a silvery-light as Dan hurriedly retreated towards the opposite direction. Observing the monstrous wolf's condition, a system notification suddenly sprung up.
[The target is preparing for a massive area of effect attack! Please intercept or take cover!]
The blaring red system notification indicated utmost danger that could annihilate the host. With widened eyes, Dan's mind madly spun, calculating risk factors so that he could decide his next course of actions. Bending his knees, resolve flashed through Dan's mind as he abandoned all notion to escape and rushed towards the wolf's figure!
Clad with moonlight, the monstrous wolf opened its mouth wide and concentrated all Spiritual Energy to a point between his mouth. Floating there was a sphere of silver, emanating terrifying fluctuations of Spiritual Energy that threatened to collapse even the heavens itself.
Dan knew that once the monstrous wolf unleashed such an attack, there was no way that he and his wives could survive. Taking cover wasn't an option so the only choice that he had was to interrupt. Rotating his cultivation base to the maximum, the Blessing of the Lightning God went into full throttle and a faint silhouette of a middle-aged man sitting on a throne manifested behind Dan.
At the distance, Natalie and Grace who fell into the influence of Fear and Hallucination Effect slowly awakened from slumber. The scene of scorched earth and charcoaled corpses around them awakened their senses. However, the events occurring right ahead of them startled them out of their wits.
Captured in their eyes was Dan leaping towards the wolf's neck. With his daggers in tow, he prepared to slice and end its life! Unfortunately, the wolf wasn't so stupid. By the time that Dan ran towards it, it had already detected his presence and when Dan leaped towards the skies, it suddenly cancelled the channeling process and chomped at Dan's figure, capturing him in its mouth amidst the widened eyes of Grace and Natalie!
"Nooo!"
"Daaan!"
Natalie and Grace screamed in despair. But before they could break down and cry their eyes out, a sparkle of Lightning suddenly gleamed from within the wolf's mouth followed by the manifestation of an all-encompassing fluctuations of self-destructive strength originating from Dan's body!
Evidently, Dan had chosen to self-destruct along with the monstrous wolf!
Like a star exploding at the end of its life, Dan's life force and soul began to disappear like the fires of a candle amidst the tempest. The wolf mournfully moaned as the azure Lightning that crazily danced from within its mouth disintegrated its body into dust.
The already scorched earth became baptized once again with the azure light of destructive Lightning that wreaked havoc and annihilation to the surroundings. Natalie and Grace huddled with each other and stared at the scene of destruction, choking in tears and sobbing against each other's shoulders.
Several minutes later, the domineering might of the azure Lightning had disappeared along with the fluctuations of Dan's self-destruction. Sitting there amidst the ruins were Natalie and Grace who still couldn't recover from their shock. Staring at the initial and final location of their husband, the eyes of the two lit in a disbelieving light.
Unfortunately, no matter how much they slapped and pinched their cheeks, Dan was undoubtedly dead. He died sacrificing himself and protecting his beloved. He died... He died an honorable death.
