Absolute Cheater-Chapter 199 : War God Trial III

The War God's Champion took another step forward, his towering form radiating an overwhelming aura of power. The air around him distorted, as if reality itself struggled to contain his presence. His jagged greatsword, pulsing with ominous energy, let out a low hum that sent shivers down Serena's spine.

Asher, however, only grinned. His Sanguine Supreme ability flared to life, his crimson aura thickening around him like a cloak of liquid fire.

Serena tightened her grip on her daggers, her Executioner Chains slithering around her wrists, ready to strike. "Got any ideas?" she asked, her voice steady despite the tension.

"Yeah," Asher cracked his knuckles. "Hit him till he stops moving."

The Champion moved.

He was fast.

A blur of black steel and crimson energy closed the gap between them in an instant. Asher barely had time to react, raising his arms just as the greatsword came crashing down.

BOOM!

The force of the impact sent shockwaves rippling through the battlefield, the very ground beneath them caving under the pressure. Asher skidded backward, his boots carving trenches into the stone.

Serena leaped into action, her Element Mastery allowing her to conjure a surge of wind that propelled her above the Champion. Midair, she flung her Executioner Chains forward, aiming to bind his arms.

The chains wrapped around his gauntlets—

SNAP!

—and shattered.

Her eyes widened. "What—?"

The Champion turned his head slightly toward her, his glowing crimson eyes locking onto her position. Then, with a casual flick of his arm, he sent a shockwave of energy upward.

Serena barely managed to dodge, twisting in the air as a massive explosion erupted where she had been.

Asher wasted no time.

Taking advantage of the distraction, he lunged forward, his blood-red energy surging as he activated Blood Rupture. His fist connected with the Champion's chest—

And nothing happened.

His attack didn't pierce.

The Champion didn't even flinch.

Asher's smirk faltered for a split second. "Huh."

Then, without warning, the Champion swung his greatsword in a wide arc.

Asher barely had time to dodge, bending backward in an almost impossible motion as the blade whooshed over him. Even so, he felt the sheer pressure of the attack slice through the air, leaving a deep gash in the stone wall behind him.

Serena landed beside him, breathing hard. "Okay. New plan."

"Yeah," Asher said, rolling his shoulders. "This guy's built different."

The Champion planted his sword into the ground, his deep, guttural voice echoing through the battlefield.

"Prove yourselves… or perish."

Asher grinned, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Guess we'll just have to do both."

With that, he charged forward once more.

The War God's Champion pulled his sword from the ground, and with a single step, he closed the distance between them again.

Asher barely managed to raise his arms before—

BOOM!

The sheer force of the impact sent him flying backward, slamming into the stone wall with enough power to crack the surface. Dust and debris rained down around him as he gritted his teeth. His arms trembled—just blocking that one attack felt like stopping a falling mountain.

Serena darted in, using her Element Mastery to enhance her speed, appearing behind the Champion in an instant. Her Death Dagger gleamed in her grip as she thrust it toward the base of his neck.

CLANG!

Her blade barely scratched him.

The Champion didn't even turn.

Instead, a pulse of raw force erupted from his body, sending Serena hurtling away. She twisted mid-air, using a burst of wind to slow her descent, but the impact still sent a sharp pain through her arms.

Asher cracked his neck, stepping out from the rubble. "Alright, so, hitting him isn't gonna be easy."

Serena groaned as she stood up. "You think?"

The Champion slowly lifted his massive sword, pointing it toward them.

"You are not worthy."

The ground beneath their feet trembled, and then—

The arena itself shifted.

Massive spikes of black stone shot from the ground, forming barriers and cutting off escape routes. The sky darkened, a swirling vortex of crimson energy appearing above.

Asher's eyes narrowed. "Oh great, phase two."

The Champion suddenly vanished—

—then reappeared right in front of them.

Serena barely had time to react before the greatsword came crashing down.

BOOM!

She leaped back just in time, but Asher didn't move. Instead, his body became liquid—his Sanguine Supreme ability kicking in. The sword passed through his now-fluid form before he re-solidified and drove his fist into the Champion's side.

This time, his attack had some effect—the Champion staggered slightly.

Just slightly.

Asher grinned. "Looks like I just need to hit you harder."

Serena suddenly noticed something. "Wait… Look at his armor!"

Asher glanced at the Champion's body and noticed faint, glowing cracks forming along his torso.

Serena smirked. "We are damaging him."

Asher's grin widened. "Then we just have to break him apart."

The Champion took another step forward.

Asher's blood-red aura flared—

Serena's chains ignited with power—As they attacked again.

The War God's Champion raised his greatsword, its surface glowing with an eerie crimson light. The moment his grip tightened, the entire arena trembled, and a powerful wave of force radiated outward.

Asher and Serena braced themselves.

"Final Judgment."

The Champion's deep voice echoed through the battlefield as a massive surge of energy coalesced around his weapon. The sky above darkened further, storm clouds swirling with raw, destructive power.

Asher's grin widened. "Yeah, that doesn't sound good."

Serena's eyes flickered between the Champion and the unstable energy gathering above. "Asher, we have to stop him now!"

But before she could act, the Champion swung his blade down—

A colossal shockwave tore through the battlefield, splitting the ground apart and sending a tsunami of crimson energy crashing toward them.

Serena reacted instantly, her Element Mastery kicking in as she conjured a barrier of wind and light, attempting to block the incoming force. The ground beneath her cracked under the sheer pressure, but she held firm.

Asher, on the other hand—

—charged straight through it.

His Sanguine Supreme ability flared, his blood shifting into an armor-like state, absorbing the brunt of the attack as he dashed forward. His entire form blurred, his speed multiplying as he launched himself at the Champion like a crimson meteor.
