Chapter 1823 1823. Completing the Challenge

The Primordial Lycan stared at Jack warily. It could sense that Jack's power had grown stronger.
"Still have any more buff skill?" Jack asked. He was floating in the air and waiting for the Primordial Lycan to make its moves.
The Primordial Lycan answered by opening its mouth. A large torrent of black air poured out of its mouth.
The black torrent engulfed Jack. This black air had deteriorating properties. It was similar to the dark energies inside the eldritch beholder. Aside from receiving damage, those who came into contact with this black air would have their equipment's durability decreased. Their defensive values would also be greatly reduced.
Jack was protected by the Sphere of Tiamat, though. The golden aura from the War God Manifestation further reduced the damage received by the sphere.
"Well, I take it you have run out of buff skill, then," Jack said. He then shot downward.
The Primordial Lycan didn't see Jack bursting out from under the torrent of black air still pouring out of its mouth. Its breath attack had strong pressure. Normal opponents would be tumbling inside the torrent without being able to get out, but Jack's Sphere of Tiamat under the enhancement of War God Manifestation easily resisted the torrent's pressure.
Jack used mana concealment to mask his approach as he did an uppercut to the Lycan's lower jaw using his sword. The upperslash caught the Primordial Lycan in surprise. Its head was jerked upward from the blow, forcing its breath attack to stop.
Jack then unleashed his sword art at the Primordial Lycan's giant body. Its Tough Body skill might have boosted its defense, but Jack's swords enhanced by the golden light easily penetrated the defense and dealt full damage.
The Primordial Lycan recovered from Jack's surprise attack and swung its saber down. The saber swirled with dark energy as it slashed.
The Primordial Lycan didn't see Jack bursting out from under the torrent of black air still pouring out of its mouth. Its breath attack had strong pressure. Normal opponents would be tumbling inside the torrent without being able to get out, but Jack's Sphere of Tiamat under the enhancement of War God Manifestation easily resisted the torrent's pressure.
Jack used War God's Shield to block the attack. The Lycan's attack failed to cause Jack to budge.
The Primordial Lycan suddenly grew four extra arms and attacked Jack using Deca Slash.
"Asura? I also can!" Jack used his Soul Asura. His six little arms clashed with the Primordial Lycan's six giant arms, but it was the Primordial Lycan who recoiled from each clash.
The Primordial Lycan roared again. Eight long black appendages sprout from its body. These appendages ended with sharp stingers. The stingers shone with an ominous dark glow. With its six arms, it also stabbed Jack with its eight extra appendages.
Jack responded by using Dances of the Braves. Ten golden swords circled him. He also used the ten golden orbs from the aureole on his back. The golden orbs turned into swords. His Dances of the Braves slashed in his vicinity while the swords from the orbs slashed further ahead, creating two layers of cutting wheels. None of the Primordial Lycan's attacks were able to bypass his swords. It was the Lycan who ended up getting hit whenever it tried to advance.
While the exchange continued, Jack sensed something jumped out of the Primordial Lycan. This something turned out to be a giant wolf made of pure darkness. The wolf came pouncing from above.
Jack used War God's Stride and moved out of harm's way before the shadow wolf arrived. He then used War God's Wings. The wings gave Jack an increase in flying speed.
Under War God Manifestation, the golden aura made the War God's Wings appear even longer. With two extended sharp wing-blades, Jack zoomed around the Primordial Lycan, damaging it each time he passed. The Primordial Lycan's arms and the shadow wolf tried to catch Jack futilely. The combination of the War God Manifestation, War God's Wings, Strength of Hope, and Sphere of Tiamat made Jack too fast to deal with.
The multiple golden swords followed Jack as he flew. They also cut the Primordial Lycan when Jack flew past, dealing more damage.
The Primordial Lycan used several more offensive and defensive skills to contend with Jack, but nothing was enough to cope with Jack's speed. Jack continued to chip the Lycan's HP by flying in and out of the Primordial Lycan's range. When he was away, he used ranged attacks like the War God's Stare, War God's Light, Wind Slash, and Swords of Light to deal additional damage.
The battle lasted for almost the duration of the War God Manifestation, which was half an hour. By that time, the Primordial Lycan's HP was down to almost ten percent.
The Primordial Lycan had pretty much exhausted all its skills trying to catch Jack. Even if Jack lost his buff, he figured he should still be able to win, but he didn't plan to prolong this battle.
"Are you going to use it?" Peniel asked.
"Yeah. Let's see how strong it is," Jack said.
He didn't get the chance to try it when he was fighting the Ice Demon King, but the War God Manifestation had one more weapon. It had a finishing move that would end the War God Manifestation when used, similar to the finishing move of Lightning God Incarnation.
When Jack used this finishing move, the ten swords turned back to golden orbs and returned to the large ring on his back. The ring then spun at high speed. As it spun, the golden orbs turned brighter, so bright that it was as if a small sun was behind Jack.
The bright glow engulfed even Jack until nothing was seen but a giant glowing orb.
As the Primordial Lycan was hesitant about whether or not it should attack Jack who had now become a small sun, a loud voice sounded from inside the sun.
"War God's Beaammm….!!!"
A thick pillar of golden light burst out of the glowing orb. The speed of the beam didn't give the primordial lycan any chance to react. The golden beam swallowed the Primordial Lycan's entire body. Its HP was devoured as the golden beam washed over it.
Its remaining ten percent HP was quickly drained. Under the beam's still intense heat, its body vaporized until nothing was left.
Jack heard a notification then, "Congratulations to have completed the League of Champions' highest challenge!"
