Talent Awakening: Draconic Overlord Of The Apocalypse

Chapter 126: How To Fight A Law Breaker



Her leg sliced through the air with blinding speed, but instead of landing, it passed right through Kaelan's body.

Her eyes widened in shock as she realized it was an afterimage. She quickly looked around, her mind racing as she searched for Alister's real position.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

A voice cut through the silence. "Just as I thought. You can only shatter one law at a time."

"And once a new law has been shatterd, the effects of the previously shatterd law return to normal."

She spun around and saw Alister standing behind her, exactly where he had thrown his sword earlier. He slowly pulled the blade from the rubble turning to look at her, residual lighting crackling around his body.

What had Alister deduced? What was his plan? Why was he able to dodge Na'zehra's attack this time, and why didn't she shatter the Law of Motion?

Well, just as Alister suspected, all abilities have limits, and that was true in this scenario as well.

Alister tilted his head slightly, a smirk hidden beneath his helmet. "I was worried for nothing," he said, sounding relieved, as if a burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

Apart from the fact that the effect of a previously shattered law would no longer exist once a new one was shattered, Alister also discovered that Na'zehra could only shatter three laws consecutively.

After the third one, she needed to pause for at least seven seconds before she could shatter laws again.

That was why he threw his sword, causing her to shatter the Law of Force. So when she shattered the Law of Space and the Law of Force again, she couldn't shatter the Law of Motion to prevent him from moving.

Na'zehra chuckled softly, her eyes narrowing. She crossed her arms over her chest. "I don't know where this sudden confidence is coming from," she said, "but it won't last. You were just lucky, that's all."

Alister took a step forward. He brought his sword to rest on his shoulder, his body crackling with lightning. "Why don't we try again and find out?"

With a burst of speed, Alister launched himself toward a nearby pillar. His body moved in a blur as he grabbed the base of the pillar with both hands. He heaved it upward, his muscles straining as he tore the stone from its foundation. Pivoting on his heels, he swung the heavy pillar in an arc, propelling it toward Na'zehra.

Na'zehra's eyes flared as she extended her left hand, shattering the Law of Force. The stone pillar shattered harmlessly against her body and fell to the ground, sending debris skittering across the city.

In the brief moment that Na'zehra was focused on the pillar, Alister used his lightning-fast speed to reposition himself behind her. He spotted a pile of metal shards in the distance. Extending his right hand, he channeled lightning into the metal. The shards lifted off the ground and hurtled toward Na'zehra.

Na'zehra's eyes widened as she saw the flying metal shards. With a swift motion, she raised her right hand and shattered the Law of Motion. The shards paused mid-air and then suddenly fell harmlessly to the ground around her, but the maneuver left her temporarily off- balance.

Seeing an opening, Alister leaped onto a crumbling wall to gain a higher vantage point. He shifted his weight to his left leg, gripping a large, jagged boulder with both hands. With a powerful grunt, he hurled the boulder toward Na'zehra.

Na'zehra's focus snapped to the incoming boulder. She extended her left arm and shattered the Law of Motion, halting the boulder mid-air. The object fell to the ground with a massive BOOM, sending tremors through the earth and causing rubble to explode around her.

As Na'zehra staggered from the impact, Alister sprang into action. He dropped down from the wall in a massive burst of speed, his crest flaring, his body crackling with lightning. His right arm swung his sword in a wide vertical arc, aimed directly at Na'zehra. His blade crackled with lightning.

Na'zehra attempted to defend by placing both hands together in front of her, but her reaction speed was no match for Alister's attack. She was slow-painfully so. Alister's sword cut through the air, landing on her scales. Instead of cutting through, a loud clang echoed, sending a shockwave through the area. Dust and debris were flung into the air.

"Seems your scales are quite sturdy, must be due to the enhancements from your lord's rage, how lucky." Alister said tauntingly.

Na'zehra was sent flying from the force of the attack, her legs leaving a trail in the earth as they dug into it. Eventually, she stumbled, her body swaying as she struggled to stand back up. Her eyes, wide with frustration, locked onto Alister.

"You are getting awfully bold," she said, brushing dust off her shoulders and steadying herself, her eyes never leaving Alister.

"You think you're so clever," Na'zehra said, her voice filled with irritation. "But your little strategy is only temporary."

Alister stood his ground, sword ready, and eyes sharp. His lightning crackled around him as he prepared for the next attack.

Na'zehra raised her right hand and spoke sharply, "Shattering Stability Law."

The ground beneath her shimmered and shifted, the rubble around her stabilizing instantly. Na'zehra then pointed her left hand forward, toward Alister, her eyes focused. "Shattering space Law."

The air seemed to warp as Alister witnessed all the rubble in the earth being teleported. The next thing he noticed was shadows; looking up, he saw the rubble falling from the sky.

Using his speed, he easily dodged all the falling debris and then repositioned himself on top of a nearby building. From this elevated vantage point, he scanned the battlefield, looking for any advantage.

"Well, you're not wrong," Alister called down to her, "but let's see how you handle this."

With a burst of speed, Alister leaped from the rooftop, his body moving in an arc toward Na'zehra. His right arm drew back, preparing for a powerful strike as he descended. Na'zehra's eyes followed his movement. As he neared, she extended her right arm, her fingers twitching as she prepared to shatter the Law of Force again.

But before she could react, Alister landed on the ground with a heavy thud. He immediately stomped the ground with both feet, causing a shockwave that sent chunks of debris flying into the air. The force was aimed to force Na'zehra into a position where she would have to use the Law of Force to counter the flying rubble.

True to his plan, Na'zehra's eyes flared as she shattered the Law of Force, pushing away the debris. This momentary distraction was exactly what Alister needed.

she focused on the debris, Alister dashed forward, his body surrounded by a crackling aura of lightning. He swung his sword in a wide, horizontal arc, aiming for Na'zehra's midsection. Na'zehra sensed the incoming attack and twisted her body, barely managing to deflect the strike with her forearm. The impact sent a sharp clang through the air, and she staggered back, her balance momentarily disrupted by the force of the blow.

Alister pressed the advantage, launching another quick succession of strikes with his sword. Each swing was faster than the last, his crest flaring brightly as he pushed his body to its limits.
