Chapter 140: Forced To Use the Kratos Crown 2
[Congratulations, Host has used the Kratos King Crown.]
[Random God's Descent ability being chosen.]
[New Descent Energy found!]
[Congratulations. Host has awakened the Power of Helios, the God of the Sun!]
The system notification panel message blinked before Nolan's face as he felt an energy coursing through his veins.
It was incredibly hot, yet it did nothing to harm him.
With a single will, Nolan focused on the energy, reveling in its warmth.
Ourak, with widened eyes, watched as his opponent—whose aura radiated an intense burning feeling—slowly healed up his wounds.
His darkened skin peeled off, replaced by his normal complexion, and the cuts on his body began to fade away.
In less than ten seconds, Nolan was fully healed.
[Congratulations, Host has used the Healing Light Ability of Helios.]
[Host's familiarity with the God of Light increases!]
The system's voice rang out as Nolan opened his eyes, feeling all his wounds fade away as if they had been nothing more than an illusion.
He had no idea how he'd managed to heal himself, but Nolan sensed a strange will from within his own body, and he'd given the essence permission to act.
The result was the healing of his injuries.
Slowly, he raised his hand to his face, and with a simple will, scorching golden light oozed out from Nolan's palm.
With a sickening smile, he allowed the light to spread throughout his entire body, becoming a flaming figure oozing with pure solar power.
He turned to look at Ourak, who stood at a distance, caution evident on his face.
"Shall we begin?" Nolan asked as he stretched his palm forward, and then—
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!
A golden beam of energy immediately pierced forth with incredible power, piercing forth with incredible power towards Ourak in the distance.
The titan was lifted off his feet and—
BAAAAAANG!
The arena walls shook heavily as Ourak was slammed into the wall by the powerful beam of energy, which soon faded away.
Yet Nolan was relentless as he raised his left hand, intense golden energy appearing in it once again and then—
RIIIIIIIIIP!
Another tearing sound rang out as the golden pillar of energy soared forth with even greater speed, slamming into the cracks in the wall.
But at the last second, Nolan noticed a figure silently shift away from the impact, disappearing to the side.
Nolan followed him closely, his hand beam tracking his opponent.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
The arena walls were repeatedly scorched by the concentrated solar energy as Ourak ran in a circular motion, eventually arriving before Nolan, throwing out a left hook towards his face.
This time, the air shook heavily from the sheer strength of the punch, and Nolan could feel the force behind it.
The strength had doubled compared to Ourak's earlier strikes.
It was clear: Ourak was not using all of his strength in theur previous fight.
Still, Nolan didn't feel fear. Solar energy coated his right arm and then—
BAAAAANG!
The two fists clashed together with immense power, the air around them warping as if it were aflame.
In the next instant, Ourak threw a second jab towards Nolan's head, which Nolan countered with another flaming fist of his own.
BAAANG!
BAAANG!
BAAANG!
It was a flurry of unending punches as Ourak and Nolan went all out, exchanging devastating blows that narrowly missed or battered each other's bodies.
Their fists collided, and the ground beneath them became enveloped in deep craters, which only grew deeper and wider as time passed.
The air stormed around them from the intensity of their punches as Nolan turned into a fiery blur, flashing here and there, dodging various attacks while replying with his own punches—punches that Ourak took head-on without dodging a single one.
His opponent's reasoning was simple.
Ourak could see how much power Nolan's punches carried, and he believed they weren't at a level that could truly threaten him.
They were powerful but not incapacitating.
So therefore, he focused on wearing Nolan down with sheer force, battering him repeatedly until Nolan would no longer be able to move.
His goal was to absorb damage in exchange for delivering even more devastating blows to his opponent.
He had witnessed Nolan heal instantly from his injuries, and he knew well that if he didn't break Nolan to a point where he couldn't use his divine essence to heal, he would eventually be overwhelmed.
But as the battle dragged on, sweat began dripping down Ourak's face as he noticed Nolan making sure to dodge every single punch while an amused expression remained on his face.
It became obvious that Nolan had caught onto his plan and was doing everything in his power to avoid taking hits.
Now, Ourak was the one carrying the greater burden of damage, while Nolan dodged every one of his punches, using his fists to block the ones he couldn't evade.
"Just die already!" Ourak roared in frustration as he kicked towards Nolan's ribs.
Nolan instantly took three steps backward, the kick barely grazing his stomach as a shockwave slashed outwards.
In the same moment, Nolan arrived before Ourak, throwing forth a powerful punch towards his ribs.
BOOOOM!
Shockwaves rippled out from the point of collision as Ourak ignored Nolan's punch, grinning brilliantly.
"You fell for it."
Instantly, both of Nolan's hands were grabbed by Ourak, and he jerked Nolan's body forward before—
BAAAAAANG!
An explosive shockwave rippled outwards as Ourak's head slammed into Nolan's.
The faint sound of a crack echoed, and Nolan was sent smashing into the deep ground, absolutely unmoving.
A splitting headache slammed into Nolan's mind from the power of the headbutt.
It was the first time he had ever been headbutted, and he felt as though he might die.
But still, he looked up at Ourak, who had a grin on his face, and began to chuckle.
"Hehe…"
"Hehehehe..."
"Hahahahaha..."
Nolan's chuckle turned into a full, mocking laugh as he began to rise.
Ourak furrowed his brows, wondering if Nolan had gone mad from the headbutt.
But then he observed Nolan looking at his body and laughing even more.
That was when Ourak's brain told him to look at his own body and his expression drastically changed once he did.
"You've lost!"
