Chapter 139: Forced To Use The Kratos Crown 1
Immediately, Nolan's knee smashed forth toward Ourak's face, but it met with nothing as a palm appeared in the path of the knee, pushing it backward to the ground.
Yet Nolan was unrelenting.
His second leg immediately kicked forth once more toward Ourak's face.
Ourak's head moved to the side, and a shockwave exploded beside his head.
Nolan slammed his leg downwards, intending to hurt Ourak's shoulder, but in the instant the back of his foot connected with the shoulder, he was the one sent flying into the air.
He flipped twice mid-air, landing upside down.
Using his hands, he retreated backward before jumping back to his feet.
In the instant he stood upright, Nolan's leg slammed to the left, as his head dodged to the right.
PSSSTT!
Blood splashed into the air, the source none other than Nolan's cut-open ears as Ourak's
punch violently pierced forward with speed.
The shockwave ripped apart Nolan's ear.
BOOOOOM!
Another devastating surge boomed out as Ourak smashed forth with his knee.
Simultaneously, Nolan was forced to place both hands in the path of the punch, barely blocking in time.
Still, he was sent backward from the force.
In the next instant, Ourak went on a devilish rampage.
Various attacks blasted forth from him as Nolan was pushed back further and further.
"His moves! They're unbelievable! It's like he needs no time or balance to send forth the next attack," Nolan thought to himself in shock as he endured the continuous battering.
His scorched skin reddened, and he could even hear the slight crack of his arms and ribs from the endless beating.
Yet, even though he was in pain from the barrage, Nolan's mind held utmost amazement.
He had thought he was very good in close combat, but Ourak made him realize how miserably he paled in comparison.
The titan could weave through different attacks without even losing his balance.
If Nolan blocked a punch, a split second later, Ourak was already kicking forth with his leg.
In the next instant, he was already throwing the next punch.
And not only were his attacks incredibly precise, but they were also devastatingly powerful.
Each of them damaged Nolan's skin, with some even piercing through his bones and causing fractures.
"You're pretty strong for a Celestial kid. Your endurance is barely noteworthy…" Ourak said with a smile as he continued to punch and kick, moving Nolan backward.
Ourak had thought he could end this match with just a few punches and kicks, but who would have expected the kid to keep up?
Even though Nolan's body was clearly battered and it was apparent he was struggling to stand, he was still able to react in time and dodge some of Ourak's most powerful finishing moves.
This made Ourak realize that Nolan had his full focus on the match.
"Still, it's not enough," Ourak thought as he suddenly threw out an even more powerful punch toward Nolan's face.
Just when it seemed the punch would smash into Nolan's raised hands, Ourak's hand shifted at the last second, slipping past the side of Nolan's arm, grabbing the back of his head.
In the next instant, Nolan felt a hand grab onto his hair, jerking his head downward, and his eyes were met with Ourak's magnifying knee.
BOOOOOOM!
CREEAAAAKKK!
A loud shockwave rang out, followed by the sound of bone cracking as Ourak's knee smashed into Nolan's raised arm, breaking the bones.
BAAANG!
BAAANG!
BAAANG!
Three more successive blows followed, and Nolan found himself knocked backward, both his arms falling limply to his sides.
They had been utterly ruined, with the bones fractured completely.
In the next instant, Ourak faded away like a phantom, and Nolan felt a hand grab him from behind, lifting his head up.
"What the—!?"
BAAAAANG!
Nolan's face was smashed roughly into the ground by Ourak, while standing upside down, slammed him into the crater.
Blood spilled into the ground as Ourak raised Nolan up by his leg.
BOOOOOM!
BOOOOOM!
BOOOOOM!
BOOOOOM!
Craters appeared on the ground in rapid succession as Ourak easily lifted Nolan up like he weighed less than a feather and repeatedly smashed him into the ground.
"Strong. He's too strong," Nolan mused as he curled into a ball, trying to withstand the slamming.
But his back was unprotected, and he could hear the cracking sound, which he had no doubt was coming from his spine.
'I need to get out of this fast...'
Eventually, Ourak flung him outward with speed. Nolan smashed roughly into the opposite wall, bleeding from every orifice.
His entire body dropped limply, unable to withstand any more battering.
Right now, Nolan felt as if he weighed a thousand kilos, unable to move a single inch.
Eventually, a hand collapsed onto his face, dragging him out of the wall before he was finally raised into the air.
"Finally spent huh?" Ourak's taunting voice rang out as he dangled Nolan in the air with a mocking smile.
But with surprise, he watched as Nolan opened one of his eyes and his lips moved.
"I still have one more descent ability left…"
'Activate Crown of Kratos!' Nolan thought in his head.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
A powerful light descended from the sky.
Ourak felt a stinging pain in his arms and was thrown backward with speed, slamming roughly onto the ground before coming to a stop.
Instantly, he rose upright as he looked into the light that now coated Nolan's body, preventing him from sight.
Soon, the light cleared, and Ourak's eyebrows furrowed.
The first thing he noticed was the crown on Nolan's head.
It was just impossible not to notice due to the otherworldly amount of energy that oozed out from it.
An energy that made him feel like he wasn't even noteworthy of mention compared to it.
In the next instant, he witnessed a spectacular transformation, as Nolan began his change with the lights surrounding him slowly receding.
Without needing to be told, he knew well that this battle had only just gotten even tougher.
His opponent had grown stronger, and not just by a small amount.
