55 55. Orion vs The Third Guardian - 3
At the same time, the battle between Orion and the guardian came to a sudden halt because Orion burned a small part of the red skull symbol on the guardian's chest earlier. As a result, the guardian became cautious and didn't take the opportunity to attack Orion.
Meanwhile, Orion also didn't rush and thought of how he would go about destroying that symbol on the guardian's chest now that the guardian was so protective of it.
However, as he pondered which path to take, he sensed a movement from the guardian.
He saw that the guardian started to make some strange, erratic movements. His upper torso moved towards the right, while his lower torso moved towards the left.
Since both the torsos were part of the same body, the guardian couldn't move because of it.
Seeing this, Orion wondered if the guardian had gone mad all of a sudden.
However, at that moment, something happened that shocked Orion to the core.
He witnessed the upper half of the torso suddenly separate itself from the lower half, forming two separate torsos beside each other.
But this was just the beginning. The bottom of the upper torso began to vibrate, and a lower torso suddenly grew out from there. The same phenomenon occurred to the lower torso as an upper torso emerged from the tip of the lower torso.
As a result, two guardians now stood before Orion, completely resembling each other.
Looking at these two, a frown appeared on Orion's face.
'The guardian also understood his weakness, so he came up with the idea to form a clone of himself to protect his symbol.'
His mind raced with thoughts as he came up with a plan to handle the two of them.
'It's time to finish this.'
He firmly gripped his sword with both hands as he used Burdened Gravity to lower his weight.
Simultaneously, he also ignited his other two swords, engulfing them in flames.
After preparing everything, Orion rushed towards the two guardians, his two blazing swords flying alongside him.
As he arrived before them, both the guardians swung their heavy swords at him simultaneously. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Seeing this, he used his two blazing flying swords to block the attack from one while he himself swung his own sword at the guardian.
Although the blazing swords were powerful, they didn't even hold for a second in front of the monstrous strength of the guardian, causing both of his swords to fly out.
However, the swords did their work to provide Orion with the time he needed.
"Boom!"
As Orion's and the guardian's sword collided, the guardian fell short of strength and had his body forcefully retreat back while sliding.
Using this opportunity, he used his other two swords to keep the guardian he just blasted back busy for as long as the two swords could.
Meanwhile, he himself disappeared from his position, causing the guardian who was in front of him to confusedly look around.
A moment later, a glowing purple hand materialized behind the guardian, but Orion didn't touch the guardian and just kept his hand like that.
At that moment, he intentionally revealed his leg and forcefully stepped on the ground behind the guardian.
Almost instantly, the guardian turned around when he heard that, but the moment he turned, Orion's hand, which had been waiting the whole time, touched the skull symbol on the chest of the guardian, causing it to glow in a purple light.
Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Orion took his hand back and disappeared from that position.
A moment later, the purple glow on the symbol flashed with an intense purple light before an explosion happened.
"Boom!"
The explosion didn't damage the guardian even a little bit, but the skull symbol on its chest was gone, and as a result, the guardian's body lifelessly fell to the ground.
'It worked.'
Orion appeared at a little distance from the dead guardian and smiled as he saw this, but at this moment, he heard a yelling from his side.
"I will kill you!"
It was a metallic voice coming straight from the other guardian.
Turning around, Orion saw that the second guardian came straight at him without any care of the two swords that continued to hit him.
"Come on."
However, this time Orion didn't use his cheap tactics and beckoned his hands at the guardian.
"Agggahhhh!"
The guardian wildly roared at Orion, as if he had lost his sanity, and swung his huge sword straight at him.
Orion didn't back down and also swung his own sword.
"BOOM!"
An intense explosion reverberated throughout the hall as their swords collided.
But the guardian, as before, fell short of strength as his body got blasted back like a broken kite.
Seeing this, Orion lowered his weight and swiftly crossed the distance between them before arriving in front of the guardian, who still hadn't gained his stability and continued to slide through the hall.
Taking this opportunity, he swung his sword heavily at the waist of the guardian, causing the guardian to blast back in a different direction.
Once again, Orion closed the distance between them, but this time he appeared in a position where the guardian would soon pass by if the guardian couldn't stop his body from tumbling down the hall.
At that moment, Orion flicked the sword in the air while his right hand started to burn in flames. The density and mass of the flames continued to increase at a rapid pace before he used attraction on his hand to compress all those flames into a red burning sphere the size of a football.
He then turned his attention to the guardian, whose body crashing through the hall appeared in front of him.
'Right timing.'
Holding the burning ball of the sphere like a basketball, Orion threw it straight at the guardian.
The ball made its way towards the guardian like a shooting star and collided with it.
"BOOM!"
As soon as the flaming ball came into contact with the guardian, it exploded, causing an intense explosion throughout the hall.
The floor, which had already been destroyed by their fight earlier, started melting, and smoke began to emanate from them.
Meanwhile, the explosion itself released a resounding shockwave throughout the entire hall, causing those who peeked through the wall to watch the battle to have their bodies slammed back at the wall behind them.
A moment later, the explosion died down, and Orion saw that among the debris on the floor, the guardian's body lay there.
Although that attack still didn't cause any damage to the guardian, the symbol on its chest was gone, leaving behind a dead body.
"It's finally over."
Orion sighed in relief. But he felt that the guardian when seperated himself two became quite weak as if their strength had been split in half among the two bodies.
He then noticed that the body of the guardian began to glow with a red light before turning into red particles and disappearing into thin air.
But the guardian dropped an item behind. There was a big, heavy sword on the ground.
Witnessing this, Orion became sure that the third guardian was a living being, unlike the other two guardians.
Looking at the huge sword, he made his way over to it and saw that the sword was about the size of him.
He also noticed that this sword appeared different from the one the guardian had used earlier.
As he picked it up, Orion felt its weight and was surprised to that the sword weighed very high but it wasn't a problem for him to wield it.
As he observed the sword closely, he saw that the hilt of the sword appeared golden with red stripes around it, and at the top of the hilt, a skull symbol had been etched there.
'Nice sword.'
He felt that the sword really suited his fighting style. So, he put it in his pocket dimension of the Dimensional Dissonance curse along with his other three swords.
However, at that moment, Orion suddenly felt his vision spinning as if the whole hall appeared to start spinning at a very fast speed before he found himself standing in a rather small room.
