Chapter 317: Fall Of A Tyrant

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Soaring majestically in the skies above, the Golden Deity was seething. It had never been humiliated by any other creature like this before.
With icy rage in its eyes, it flared its mighty wings. A golden blade of pure light materialized and seemingly split the heavens in two before fracturing apart into millions and millions of microscopic blades.
There was a brief moment of calm before the blades started raining down torrentially. The Nuclear Ruler tried to evade the deadly deluge, but found its path blocked by an enormous creature. Even though the Nuclear Ruler managed to send the creature flying with a single blow, it was momentarily slowed down, and that was all it took.
The wings of the Golden Deity flashed, aiming a vicious swipe at the Nuclear Ruler.
With a ferocious roar, the Nuclear Ruler raised its right arm to block the strike.
It might as well not have even tried. The wings of the Golden Deity bit deeply into its arm like a cleaver, narrowly lopping the entire arm off!
Well and truly enraged, the Nuclear Ruler lashed out with its left arm and struck the Golden Deity with a sickening crack. The feathers on the Golden Deity were twisted and broken, some of them hanging limply at awkward angles.
Wounded, the Golden Deity tried to disengage but was sent crashing to the ground in a heap by another powerful strike.
Bang!
The Elder King Centipede rushed the Nuclear Ruler with a bone-crunching tackle. Clamping onto the legs of the Nuclear Ruler with its pincers, the centipede slithered and coiled its way around the creature, strangulating it like a cobra.
As large as the Nuclear Ruler was, it struggled to break free.
“Roar!”
The Nuclear Ruler was even more furious now, if that was even possible. Every time it wanted to exert its strength, the flow of blood in its body would be slowed down by an invisible force, rendering its monstrous rength impotent.
Grabbing on to the centipede, the mercury-like blood in the Nuclear Ruler began pumping at double speed as it activated its nuclear core ability. It sounded like the roar of a rushing river. From the body of the Nuclear Ruler, a massive cloud of silvery-white fog slowly rolled out.
With both arms gripping on to the pincers of the centipede like a vise, the Nuclear Ruler slowly started ripping them apart, like a baker stretching dough.
Bang!
The pincers were easily ripped in two. The Nuclear Ruler landed another ferocious blow to the centipede’s head.
The skull shattered, revealing weakly burning Soul Flames within.
Boom! A dragon made of pure fire crashed into the Nuclear Ruler, engulfing it in a gigantic prison of flames.
The Elder King Centipede retreated, picking up a few bones that were lying around. Placing those bones around its head, they quickly fused with what was left of its skull to become whole again.
Wreathed in scarlet fire, Flamy spread its wings and took to the skies again.
Even if the Nuclear Ruler had increased resistance across the board, taking an attack from a Fire-type Lord-tier familiar was never pleasant.
With the merest of thoughts, the Nuclear Ruler struck back. Flamy could feel an incredible pressure weighing it down, almost like there was a mountain on its back. Struggling to stay aloft, it was futile and he sank like a stone.
Boom! Dumby was a blur. Vanishing and reappearing behind the Nuclear Ruler, he threw a powerful haymaker right at the back of its head.
The Nuclear Ruler’s head whipped forward violently. Looking slightly disoriented, the pressure on Flamy also dissipated.
Sensing an opening, the Golden Deity unleashed another hail of golden blades from its mouth, right at the Ruler’s knees. The Ruler roared in agony as every one of those blades found its mark. Unable to withstand the stress, its knees buckled and sent the Nuclear Ruler crashing to the ground.
As it slowly and agonizingly turned around to face the Golden Deity, the Golden Deity simply took off, refusing to engage the Nuclear Ruler in direct combat.
While the Ruler’s head was turned, Dumby’s Heart of The Bloodseeker started throbbing explosively. As a surge of incredible power coursed through every fiber of its being, its robes simply exploded. Dark, blood-red flames sprung to life and gathered around its fist. Quick as lightning, it landed a flame-enhanced strike on the Nuclear Ruler’s back.
Boom!
The Ruler was sent flying.
A rather terrifying crack emerged on its back that started spreading outward. The Nuclear Ruler could sense that things weren’t going well.
Along with the revived Elder King Centipede, it was surrounded by four Lord-tier creatures. Normally, that wouldn’t be a problem, given the fact that its defensive and offensive firepower were off the charts, but worryingly, it could sense that its regenerative abilities were failing. Things would get dicey very quickly.
Discretion was the better part of valor, people said.
The Nuclear Ruler may have been enraged, but it wasn’t stupid. Swallowing its pride, it turned to escape with no hesitation.
“We held off the Nuclear Ruler,” a rather nondescript lad cheered.
Huang Quan stared at the unfolding scene in disbelief. Although he had always been proud of his father, he wasn’t stupid. He had always believed in his own two eyes over empty boasts and unwarranted hype. That was why he had always believed that his father was the strongest trainer alive, which was a point of pride for him.
Now, doubts were creeping in. This confused him.
Two Lord-tier familiars.
Even though Flamy hadn’t released its Lord-tier aura, its presence was unmistakable.
How was that even possible? How had he done it? For a normal human being, raising even a single Lord-tier familiar would take an insane amount of time and effort, be it raising their level or their grade. And he had two?
While Huang Quan was mulling over this, the Golden Deity and a few other familiars had already caught up to the Nuclear Ruler.
There was no way a wounded, bipedal creature like the Nuclear Ruler could outrun a couple of flying familiars.
Raining hell from above, Flamy and the Golden Deity made sure that the Nuclear Ruler had to fight for every inch of distance that it covered.
“Let’s go.” Gao Peng hopped on Da Zi. “We need to catch up.”
In a streak of purple lightning, Da Zi surged forth from the city walls.
The other trainers on the city walls eyed one another rather uneasily. Reluctantly, trainers with Flying-type familiars followed suit.
One of Huang Quan’s friends tapped him on the shoulder. “Let’s go. How often do you get to see a Lord-tier creature being brought down?”
The pursuit of the Nuclear Ruler lasted nearly 30 minutes. Flamy was complaining noisily through the Blood Contract. “Gao Peng, my throat is all dried out. I’m exhausted!”
“Just hold on a little longer. If you’re thirsty, I have some juice here,” he gently placated Flamy.
Silly wasn’t happy. Pulling on Gao Peng’s hair, he muttered under his breath. “That’s my juice though. Give him three cups… No, two cups at most.”
Flamy rolled its eyes. It’d rather go thirsty if it meant having Silly nagging it about juice for the next month.
The Nuclear Ruler was clearly on its last legs. It’s crystalline exterior was marked with scores of slash wounds and scorch marks. It was even melting in some parts.
The Nuclear Ruler finally came to a stop. Glaring at both Flamy and the Golden Deity, its eyes barely flickered to Dumby and the Elder King Centipede, which was a little further away, before charging madly at Dumby with a bestial howl.
The flames in Dumby’s eye sockets danced a little more brightly than usual. Heeding Gao Peng’s orders, it suppressed its bloodlust and retreated.
Boom, boom, boom—
Light and flames bombarded the entire area.
When the dust had cleared, the Nuclear Ruler was kneeling on the ground, motionless, its heartbeat faintly but perceptibly slowing down until it stopped beating entirely.
The Nuclear Ruler had been defeated.
