Endless Horde: Through the Eyes of a Godking

--

BOOOM!!!

Cedric and the dragonized Thunder Prince clashed, claw against sword. The result this time around was different but not surprising. Cedric was swatted away like a fly, crashing through several asteroids before managing to regain his balance.

His clothes and some pieces of his armor were torn, his face was dirtied for the first time, and he felt uncomfortable. Even so, his eyes never lost their sharpness.

He wasn't given enough time to catch his breath though, because as soon as he regained his balance, the Thunder Prince blew a breath of pure plasma towards him.

The hairs on Cedric's neck rose as he immediately employed the Heaven Shrinking Steps to evade the attack. He didn't need to see what happened to the area he was previously in because he could already imagine it; he also knows what will happen to him if he gets hit by that.

But the assault didn't end there. As soon as he appeared at his new location, numerous thick lightning bolts were already heading his way as if predicting his path.

Cedric sliced the space around him, opening a small spatial tear that swallowed all the lightning before he flew away. With his eyes locked to the gigantic frame of the Thunder Prince, Cedric stabbed his sword.

Space rippled around his sword, making it seem like the sword was distorting. This was a spatial fold, and the other end appeared next to the wings of the Thunder Prince. The tip of his sword appeared there, gleaming with the sharpness of swordlaws in attempts to punch a hole through the dragon's wings.

Ting!

However, Cedric underestimated the toughness of the Thunder Prince's body. Even his wings, which looked like a thin membrane of tendons, were so tough that his sword couldn't penetrate it even with his sword laws. It did leave a wound, but it's nowhere near enough to inconvenience the beast.

Roar!

Eyes constricting, Cedric immediately retrieved his sword because the space around the dragon rippled dangerously along with its roar. This turns out to be the right call because that was followed by a devastating spatial collapse.

Inwardly, Cedric couldn't help but groan helplessly. Even though the Thunder Prince was only a partial dragon, the might of this bloodline was truly and evidently perverted. Just the sheer roar of rage from it was able to cause the very structure of space around it to collapse. It's so unfair.

But Cedric wasn't about to give up just yet.

Relishing in this novel and heroic fight, Cedric unleashed even more of his own might. His golden flames conflated even more fiercely than before, as if responding to his resolve. The heat became even more dangerous around him.

He watched as the Thunder Prince flew towards him with an explosive speed that shouldn't belong to a creature that large. He waited in anticipation before intercepting the flight with a slash of his sword.

The attack sundered the space and bridged whatever gap there was between them. It was clear that the Thunder Prince underestimated Cedric's resolve and strength; he thought he could just ignore it and receive the attack with his body. He paid for this with a large wound across his chest, accompanied by penetrating heat and the pervasive and persistent sword energies that continued to damage his flesh from the inside.

Then, Cedric's body emitted a brilliant radiance. He turned into a streak of light with a speed that transcends the constraints of space and distance. He became even faster as he utilized his comprehension of time laws to accelerate his speed.

He appeared next to the gigantic dragon in a flash, holding onto a pair of longswords condensed from pure fire laws. He then stepped into his body and began spinning, seemingly turning into a buzzsaw, leaving long gashes of wounds all over his body.

Agonizing pain shook the dragon's body. Cedric wasn't only too fast; his swords were unexpectedly too sharp, and because they were made of pure sunfire, the pain they caused was even worse. Including the pervasive and persistent sword laws on top of all this, Cedric became a deadly giant slayer.

The Thunder Prince thought of ways to get rid of him. He tried swatting him away, fortifying his body, and flying away to create some distance. But Cedric was persistent and could easily keep up with him. Obviously, his huge body was working against him this time because it gave Cedric many areas to target.

Though despite this, Cedric knew that this was far from enough to put this beast down. The dragon was regenerating and healing from his injuries almost as fast as he received them. The terrifying physique of the dragons was truly unfair. All of his efforts so far only result in a mild inconvenience for the enemy.

ROOOOAAARR!!!

After seemingly having enough of this, the Thunder Prince emitted a deep roar before an explosion of thunder and lightning occurred all over his body, forcing Cedric to flee from it.

Then he discovered that the dragon was not bathing in lightning, and it was not ordinary lightning either. It was true Heavenly Tribulation Lightning, one that has claimed many lives and contained extremely destructive strength that could easily get rid of Cedric, so he had no choice but to retreat.

Roar!!!

And with another loud roar from the Thunder Prince, he released his domain that immediately expanded to the size of an entire solar system.

Cedric suddenly found himself standing over a very deeo crater filled with giant rock formations and rich in minerals. The dragon dove into the crater like a lightning strike. Above him, Cedric could see a seemingly endless cloud filled with thunder and lightning.

The Thunder Prince calls this the Thunder Punishment domain. And in here, he was no different from a god. Being exposed to this domain lowered Cedric's influence over concept laws, which meant that he became weaker too. The heavenly rules will be biased towards the dragon since this was his domain, and if he lets it completely manifest, he will be defeated here.

That is only if Cedric didn't have any way to respond to something like this. Fortunately, he had a way.

Fwoosh!

Like the sound of flames ingniting, Cedric released his own domain. Something that nobody has ever seen before. It pushed back the Thunder Prince's domain, dividing their battlefield into half.

Cedric hovered in the air, looking like a god who came down to earth to mingle with his people. Above him were silhouettes of nine gigantic suns glaring at the earth below. Each sun had a runic sigil in the shape of a sword etched in them.

Compared to the Thunder Prince's domain, Cedric's was in its infancy. But even so, the sheer difference in their law comprehension allowed Cedric's domain to compete evenly with the Thunder Prince's domain, despite it not being mature yet.

The release of their domain happened in a split second after their previous exchange. As soon as the two domains were unleashed, the two of them resumed their fight once more.

With a wave of his hand, golden chains manifested from the heavens on Cedric's side. These chains were made from pure fire laws, and they shot towards the dragon with the intent of restricting his movements.

The Thunder Prince roared and blew a plasma breath to these chains, eradicating them from existence in an instant. Then, his gigantic wings flapped once, and the dragon instantly breached the distance between them with claws stretched out.

Cedric then stabbed his sword on the ground just before the claws touched him.

Boom!!

Something crashed and pierced through the claws of the beast. It was a gigantic sword coming from above, manifesting out of nowhere. The dragon roared in pain and agony as its claw was firmly pinned by the sword.

With a roar of his own, Cedric summoned more of those gigantic swords. Two pierced the dragon's wings, taking it out of its ability to fly. One pinned its tail and torso, preventing it from going anywhere. This was then followed by the appearance of the same chains earlier.

The chains appeared from the gigantic swords; they bound the beast firmly, weaving a complex formation to not only trap it but also burn its flesh consitently.

This made the Thunder Prince experience a pain like no other. The pain was too much, making it difficult to think. He's also completely trapped, and the more he struggled to free himself, the more painful his bindings became.

To all who were watching, this scene was quite a sight. They could've never expected somebody who could push the Thunder Prince to this state. It subverted their expectations and transcended their expectations.

Cedric himself didn't expect that this would work either. And even though it did, it certainly wasn't easy. Trapping this beast here took more from him than he initially expected. His energies were running low, and despite being trapped, the dragon looked as energetic as ever, making him realize that he still has a lot of fight left in him.

Wiping the sweat from his face, Cedric slapped the swordcase and summoned hundreds of his swords as his hands turned into blurs from weaving one rune after the other.

From his actions, it was clear that he's planning something big.
