Death… And Me Chapter 2756: Sonzei vs. Jokios

Chapter 2756: Sonzei vs. Jokios

Later that day, the meeting was concluded, and the Leviathans came out. Rean, Sonzei, and Roan were no different. They were guided to an arena nearby where the battle between Sonzei and Jokios would take place.

Surprisingly, the elders weren't the only Leviathans who came to watch. The news was quickly spread by the Leviathans themselves, so a big crowd gathered around, waiting for it to happen. Finally, at the center of the arena, a leviathan waited in his true form.

When Sonzei arrived, he couldn't help but grow nervous. There were really a lot of Leviathans around. "W-Will it be fine?"

*Bang!*

Roan kicked his back, sending him flying in the direction of the arena. "If you have time to worry about that, then fight. And you better do a good job. Just winning will not be enough. I'll be watching."

Rean approached Roan and asked in a low voice. 'Should we keep the Circuitry Teleport Formation in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm ready? If he loses, we might need to run.'

Roan glanced at him. 'No need. He won't lose.'

Rean nodded. Since Roan was that confident, the year spent in the accelerated time inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm must have been very fruitful.

Sonzei sighed and entered the area. The arena itself was enormous, covering several tens of kilometers and protected by a formation. It was fully covered in water, the perfect environment for those with the Leviathan Bloodline. Naturally, it was good for Sonzei as well. No one would have any problem watching either since most of the onlookers could cover the entire arena with their Divine Senses.

Floquei looked at another Leviathan in the arena who would act as the judge. The leviathan noticed and nodded back at Floquei. Finally, he turned to everyone else around, announcing the start of the event. "Everyone, as most of you can feel it, this human has our sacred bloodline in his veins. Usually, he would have been killed straight away. However, due to certain circ.u.mstances, he was allowed to prove his worth by fighting a member of our Leviathan Race at the same cultivation level."

"If he loses, he will be killed, no questions asked," the judge continued. "The reason for this is because our bloodline has been challenged. He thinks that just because he has a little bit of our bloodline, he can compared to us, real Leviathans. How could we allow such a statement to go without a proper response? Thus, we will have him fight Jokios, who is at Stage Seven, the equivalent of a Saint Realm Cultivator like the human."

The crowd lit up as many curses for Sonzei or praises for Jokios echoed everywhere. The pride of their race was on full display here.

Jokios narrowed his eyes as his Divine Energy and Bloodline stirred in his body. He didn't know why he had to fight the human at first, but now Jokios had to show what he was capable of. He also didn't believe a human could really match him.

The judge looked at both fighters and asked. "Are you ready?"

"Yes!" Jokios answered loudly.

Sonzei wanted to say he needed more time, but Roan's dark expression in the distance made it impossible. "Y-Yes..."

The judge then floated above the arena and gave the signal. "Then... start!"

Jokios didn't waste time. His Water and Lightning Elements appeared instantly as he shot through the water like a bullet. The Leviathan Bloodline, good at both water and lightning, was at full display.

He reached Sonzei in a second and opened his mouth, spitting out a water of blue and purple lightning.

'Leviathan's breath!'

*Kabrum!*

Water and Lightning Element converged, reaching Sonzei's body in the next moment. It was a huge area attack, giving Sonzei no s.p.a.ce to dodge.

However, Sonzei's own Leviathan Bloodline activated in his body as his Water and Lightning Element stirred as well. He pointed his Harpoon forward and sprung forward.

'Death Style, Stellar Piercer!'

Sonzei didn't have Light or Dark Element affinity, but for the Stellar Piercer, it wasn't really necessary. Besides, Roan modified it for him to use it with both Water and Lightning Elements.

Sonzei's move immediately pierced through the center of the Leviathan's attack, reaching the Leviathan as fast as the Leviathan's attack reached him.

*Kabrum!*

Lightning and Water Element acted in unison, going straight for the Leviathan with his mouth open.

Jokios was terrified, not expecting a head-on counterattack, let alone that the counter-attack would be able to pa.s.s through his own move that easily. He immediately closed his mouth and moved his body, narrowly avoiding the Stellar Piercer.

He then looked back at Sonzei, who should have been hit by his Leviathan's Breath just now. However, his eyes immediately opened wide, seeing that Sonzie was still standing in the exact same position, unharmed. It's just that Sonzei seemed extremely shocked by what just happened.

Sonzei looked at his Harpoon, feeling like he was in a dream. Just now, he could tell exactly where the weakest part of that Breath Attack was, aiming straight at it. That created a hole in the huge area attack, which pa.s.sed by his side without touching his body at all. Even the Lightning, which was supposed to move through the water and still affect his body, was kept at bay by his own Stellar Piercer's remaining energy. 'So... weak...'

His attention quickly returned to the battle. Jokios was already coming at him, having given up the long-range attack. Jokios's scales stood on his body as Lightning circulated them. Jokios's entire head seemed to be covered by a helmet of Lightning as the Water Element gathered in his mouth.

'King's Head!'

The Lightning increased Jokios's speed several times while protecting his head. His mouth, covered in the water element, would serve as the attacking force. His head then seemed to swell many times over, trying to bite Sonzei. Doesn't matter where Sonzei tried to escape. In this s.p.a.ce, Jokies was confident he could react and bite him in half.

However... Sonzei didn't try to dodge. Instead, Lightning and Water Element gathered on his Harpoon as he attacked head-on once again.

'Water Lightning Explosion!'

'He is crazy!' That's the thought on everyone's head.

Roan, on the other hand, just snorted. 'Hmph! What a waste of time.'

*Boom!*
