Path To Godhood Begins With Marrying Wife And Gaining SSS Rank Skill Chapter 501:Volcanus Vs Ethan 2

Though the harm inflicted might not be substantial, the humiliation was undeniable. He had begun the encounter brimming with confidence, anticipating an effortless victory over this insignificant human. Instead, he experienced a minor setback right in the initial exchange.

This was more than just embarrassing; it was a profound disgrace for a formidable and ancient dragon like himself.

The more he reflected on it, the greater his anger grew. Volcanus' colossal form quivered slightly as his fury intensified, causing the surrounding lava to surge violently in response.

"Insignificant human… you dare inflict a wound upon me?"

"I shall obliterate your very existence."

The moment the words left his mouth, Volcanus lunged at Ethan, brimming with a chilling killing intent.

It was evident that he intended to unleash his full power. For beings of his caliber, mere fire attacks and dragon breath were insufficient to vanquish someone possessing dracionic blood. To utterly destroy Ethan, he needed to tear him apart with his own formidable claws.

Ethan's eyes narrowed as he observed the approaching dragon, a faint smirk gracing his lips before it dissolved into a look of intense focus.

"You prattle on far too much."

"If you possess the ability to kill me, then by all means, attempt it."

Confronting the incensed Volcanus, Ethan showed no signs of apprehension. He surged forward through the air, his form a blur as he met the dragon head-on. His draconic aura erupted, and faint crimson scales began to manifest across portions of his skin as he engaged in close-quarters combat.

For reasons unknown, his blood seemed to be brimming with unparalleled vigor.

The lava pool beneath him offered no impediment; rather, it appeared to amplify his strength, with waves of intense heat flowing into his body as if nourishing his draconic bloodline.

Then, the collision was instantaneous.

Boom!

Ethan and Volcanus slammed into each other with astonishing speed, generating a shockwave that radiated outward across the sky. The very air seemed to fracture, and the lava below erupted like a tempestuous storm.

Volcanus unleashed a sweeping claw strike, and Ethan managed to raise his arm just in time. The impact sent a piercing vibration through his bones, yet he held his ground, retaliating with a punch charged with concentrated power.

Simultaneously, Volcanus contorted his body and struck again. His claws tore through the atmosphere, glancing off Ethan's flank, shredding his attire and rending flesh.

Blood sprayed through the air.

Ethan clenched his teeth, his jaw tightening, but he did not falter. He latched onto one of Volcanus's scales and drove his knee forward, impacting the dragon's body with considerable force.

The two titans battled like sworn enemies.

Volcanus occasionally capitalized on openings, using his razor-sharp claws to tear chunks of flesh from Ethan, while Ethan employed his agility and teleportation to evade fatal blows and launch counterattacks from unexpected angles.

Amidst this brutal exchange, Ethan's exhilaration reached its zenith, past images flashing through his mind. Memories of WWE maneuvers and long-held childhood aspirations surfaced for a fleeting moment.

His gaze sharpened.

His movements suddenly escalated in swiftness.

He lunged forward, his body dipping slightly before he propelled himself upward with great force, delivering a powerful punch.

Superman Punch.

Boom!

The blow landed squarely on Volcanus' jaw, momentarily stunning even the immense dragon and causing his head to snap back slightly.

Ethan pressed his advantage.

He spun his body in mid-air, seizing one of the dragon's horns for leverage. With a swift, decisive motion, he brought his elbow down forcefully.

Elbow Strike.

The impact reverberated, and sparks of molten lava flew from the dragon's armored scales.

He then shifted his position once more.

Pulling himself higher, he brought both fists down simultaneously with all his might.

Boom!

The sheer force propelled Volcanus slightly downward, causing the lava below to churn erratically.

Ethan's breathing grew more labored, yet his actions remained unhindered. He flipped himself and unleashed a spinning kick forward.

The spinning kick connected with the dragon's face, sending another potent shockwave through the air.

For a brief instance, the spectacle appeared surreal: a solitary human figure exchanging ferocious blows with a colossal, ancient dragon, employing brute physical strength intertwined with practiced skill and primal instinct.

Yet, the consequences of their engagement were evident.

Although Ethan's strikes possessed the might to shift mountains, they inflicted only superficial damage upon Volcanus. The dragon's formidable scales absorbed the brunt of the impact, resulting in mere minor abrasions and superficial burns.

The confrontation rapidly devolved back into sheer brutality.

The heavens themselves seemed to quake with every impact, and the vast sea of lava churned in violent turmoil. Waves of heat mingled with shockwaves, plunging the entire vicinity into utter chaos.

They battled with relentless ferocity for well over ten minutes. However, owing to the disparity in their inherent strength and established cultivation levels, and because Ethan's mastery over his draconic power had not yet reached the refined state of Volcanus', he gradually began to be outmatched in this brutal melee.

Ethan's form flickered forward once more, his speed slicing through the superheated atmosphere. His gaze fixed intently on Volcanus's head, his leg tensed as power rapidly coalesced.

Instantly, his body twisted, and a strike was delivered.

Super Kick.

Boom!

His foot connected squarely with Volcanus' jaw. The powerful blow sent a shockwave outward, causing the colossal dragon's head to jerk sideways.

However, Volcanus' reaction was swift.

A deep, enraged growl escaped him as his immense tail swept through the air with astonishing velocity.

Before Ethan could fully regain his footing, the tail impacted him.

BOOOM!

The sheer force was immense, launching Ethan through the sky like a missile. He sliced through layers of superheated air, the immense pressure of the hit blurring his vision momentarily.

He hurtled towards a distant mountain range.

At the very last moment, Ethan outstretched his arm, gripping the rocky terrain. His fingers dug deeply into the stone, fracturing it instantly as he fought to halt his momentum.

The entire mountain shuddered under the abrupt deceleration.

Loose debris dislodged and cascaded down as Ethan momentarily suspended himself, his chest heaving with exertion.

Then, his eyes narrowed with renewed focus.

Without a second thought, he twisted his form and propelled himself off the mountainside with incredible force. His body spun rapidly as he launched back towards Volcanus.

The air shrieked around his swift passage.

In the blink of an eye, the distance between them vanished.

619.

His body rotated in mid-air, and his leg swung out in a sweeping arc, carrying all the momentum he had gathered.

Boom!

The spinning kick struck Volcanus' face with tremendous impact. The collision resounded like thunder, and a distinct shockwave erupted outward, forcing the dragon's enormous head backward.

Molten lava churned violently below, and the surrounding atmosphere vibrated from the strike's power.

Ethan landed a short distance away, his feet carving slight trails in the air as he regained his balance, his gaze fixed resolutely on the dragon.

His breathing grew ragged, and more injuries became apparent on his person. Blood trickled down his arm, and faint burns marred patches of his skin.

Volcanus registered his condition.

"You are nearing your breaking point."

"In your wildest dreams..." Ethan retorted, his breath coming in gasps.

It would be an understatement to say he was utterly spent.

Their prolonged engagement had lasted so long that Ethan had lost all track of time.

Were it not for his incredible endurance and the slow, restorative Blessings from the Goddess of Light, this battle would have concluded long ago with his demise.

Despite his punches possessing devastating might, capable of shattering mountains, they inflicted minimal significant harm upon this gargantuan dragon.

Ethan's eyes shifted slightly as he retreated, creating some space between them.

He understood the dragon possessed formidable physical resistance to damage, a fact he had been factoring into his strategy all along.

The spoils from his previous looting and his accumulated knowledge...

They were about to prove invaluable.
