The Almighty Dragon General

Thornber was an exceptional powerhouse.
Although his attack seemed ordinary, it consisted of countless waves of powerful force.
James was already injured after their first confrontation.
Now that he was cornered, he knew it was impossible to withstand the attacks with the defensive skills he had mastered.
He quickly waved the Supremusse Sword, summoned a few Genesis Powers, and merged them into a protective barrier.
Thornber’s powerful attacks could kill powerhouses at the Great Celestial Rank.
However, James’ protective barrier was unscathed.
Rumble!!! Explosions broke out around James’ body, but he was unharmed in the process.
Thornber frowned and murmured, “He’s quite skilled.
Those are Genesis Powers from the outside planes.
I can’t believe he could mobilize so many of them to protect himself.” Although the Genesis Powers in the Supremusse Sword
only had a fraction of the strength of complete Genesis Paths, they were terrifyingly potent when merged.
Swoosh! A dark light emerged before Thornber and formed into a black wooden sword.
The sword looked ordinary, but it had a very oppressive aura.
Thornber held the black wooden sword, smiled faintly, and said, “ You’re quite impressive to have made me summon this sword.”
James’ Genesis Protective Barrier was much stronger than when he fought Ladon in the Dieux Academy’s Arena World.
He looked at Thornber and said calmly, “Just use whatever combat means you have.
I’ll face them straight on.” Thornber quickly appeared before James and slashed out his black wooden sword without hesitation.
James raised his sword to parry the attack.
Clank! The blades locked momentarily and were followed by a massive explosion.
The shock wave blasted both Thornber and James away.

Fortunately, they had protective barriers.
Thornber with the Golden Shield and James with the Genesis Protective Barrier.
Although they were knocked away, none of them were injured.
Thornber quickly sprung into action again.
He flashed in front of James and attacked once more.
James raised his sword and blocked the attack.
Rumble! Deafening explosions took place, one after another.
The arena was filled with Sword Energies, and the afterimages of the two fighters flickered throughout the sky.
James and Thornber exchanged a few thousand moves, and their potent Sword Energies challenged each other.
Unfortunately, even after their relentless efforts, it was clear neither of them could significantly outpower the other.
“Forty-nine is quite strong.” “Yeah.
Thornber’s sword is not just any ordinary weapon.
It was crafted from Zoltrumm Wood, and the sword contains powerful energy.
Even a powerhouse at the Great Celestial Rank's peak would not dare to be reckless while facing that sword.” “Thornber can
easily kill an opponent at the Great Celestial Rank’s peak.
Yet, he isn’t having it easy against Forty-nine.” “Even so, Forty-nine doesn’t have an advantage either and is struggling to break
Thornber’s Golden Shield.” The spectators commented on the fight.
From their view, James and Thornber were evenly matched, and the outcome of the battle would not be determined so soon.
Ultimately, it was up to their respective Supernatural Powers to determine the results.
Gannon and Janus watched from the arena’s sidelines.
James had greatly exceeded their expectations.

They were aware of Thornber’s strength.
Compared to their strengths, Thornber was practically an equal opponent.
However, he was finding it hard to overpower James.
The two exchanged glances with each other.
