Start in Terra, immortal

Bakal leaped into the air like a meteor, crashing straight down in front of the adventurer and the Allied Forces Commander, Irena.

"The ultimate weapon against Bakal—the Spear of Annihilation—is in position!" came the voice of a celestial soldier from the radio Irena carried with her.

"Hmph!" Not only the celestial combat personnel heard this report, but also Bakal. He snorted coldly, leaped up again, aimed at the location of the ultimate weapon described in the radio, and stomped down.

"Boom—Crack!" Dust billowed from where Bakal landed, and the metallic sound of a ping-pong ball rolling came from the dusty area.

"Damn it, the Spear of Annihilation is damaged!" Just as Irena and the adventurer saw Bakal leap into the air, bad news came through the radio.

"This..." Irena frowned, her mind racing, trying to come up with a solution as soon as possible.

At that moment, Bakal's voice rang out on the radio: "Celestials, I am pleased to see you grow to this point. But now, I will engage the adventurer in a one-on-one battle. No one else is allowed to interfere until one of us falls."

Irena, of course, would not agree. Although the adventurer had joined the alliance midway, he had made a great contribution in the battle against the three dragons, and she would naturally not let such a meritorious person face the powerful dragon king that the Celestials needed to defeat alone.

"Let me go, Commander!" Although it was certainly something to be happy about successfully defeating the three dragons, the adventurer was puzzled when he faced Spitz and Skasa, as they seemed to know he was coming and were waiting for him.

Now, standing before Bakal, he also uttered some puzzling words.

Since arriving here aboard the Vahaid, everyone I've met has been playing a guessing game. So far, not a single thing has a definitive answer.

Bakal ahead is the final stop of this dimensional journey. If we don't find him now and find out why, we'll miss our chance.

"There are still many things I need him to answer for me!" The adventurer stepped forward and walked alone toward the area that Bakal had cleared.

The two brushed past each other. Seeing that the adventurer was determined, Irena didn't try to stop him, but simply pointed to the radio device above her head: "We're always here!"

The adventurer nodded and, under the watchful eyes of the entire Celestial Alliance, stepped onto the stage that Bakal had prepared for him.

"Showing off their sharpness!" Bakal grinned, sensing the murderous aura emanating from the adventurer who had already taken up his stance.

"I know you have many questions. But to know the answers, you must first show me—that you are qualified." Bakal extended a hand covered in dragon scales and beckoned to the adventurer. "Come!"

The sound of air being torn apart rang out the instant Bakal finished his movement. The adventurer, like an arrow released from a bow, attacked Bakal with a speed that was impossible for ordinary people to react to.

The weapon in his hand slipped from its scabbard, its tip flashing with a streak of light.

Draw your sword and slash!

A streak of light flashed across Bakal's black fingernail, scattering sparks in all directions, while simultaneously the sound of metal clashing against metal echoed through the air.

After the attack, the adventurer retreated and jumped back, and a white sword aura flew out from the sword, shooting close to the ground.

The sword energy was extremely condensed, carrying the force to split mountains and shatter rocks, successfully tearing a hole in Bakal's trousers and skirt, revealing the equally undamaged scales inside.

"That's it? Didn't you eat?" Bakal taunted, seeing that the adventurer's two attacks had failed to inflict any effective damage. "Does this even deserve to be called a blade that pierces through everything? Show some real skill!"

As if Bakal's taunt had worked, the adventurer took another step back, reached out and beckoned to the sky, and five weapons were immediately drawn by the sword energy, flying out of their scabbards and lining up behind him like wings.

Ten Thousand Swords—Return to the Origin!

At the same time, other weapons around the battlefield were also pulled into the air and immediately took off. Tens of thousands of various weapons hovered in the air, forming an encirclement that surrounded the adventurer and Bakal.

Each weapon was enveloped in sharp sword energy, lurking in the air, ready to strike and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at any moment.

"Haha! That's more like it!" Seeing such a grand spectacle, Bakal laughed with satisfaction. "Continue!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the adventurer standing some distance away from Bakal moved his feet, one in front of the other, and bent down slightly, placing his weapon at his waist.

Ultimate Divine Sword Technique - Instant Slash!

The adventurer was still in place when the slash landed on Bakal. One sword, two swords—the moment the weapon made contact with Bakal, he had already swung it countless times, leaving multiple sword energies on Bakal's body.

With each attack, a weapon suspended in the sky would fall, carrying a sword aura capable of piercing everything, and thrust towards Bakal.

With his final strike still airborne, the adventurer immediately straightened his sword and slammed it down to the ground. Almost simultaneously, he landed behind Bakal and unleashed a rapid series of slashes from his spot.

Phantom Sword Dance!

The slash condensed into countless sword energies in the air. The more the weapon was wielded, the more vast and powerful the sword intent accumulated within the energy became. As the illusory figure behind him forcefully slashed downwards for the final blow, all the previously condensed sword energies overlapped and struck Bakal together.

After ceasing to swing his weapon, the adventurer jumped back a step, placed the weapon in front of him, and stared intently at the sword energy attacking Bakal, silently beginning to gather his strength.

After Bakal dealt with the incoming sword energy and the weapons falling from the sky, what awaited him was the adventurer's next attack, which had already been fully charged.

Ultimate Divine Sword Technique - Sky-Piercing Slash!

Ripples began to spread through the space, and the intense sword intent caused sword energies to appear out of thin air, instantly converging on Bakal, who had just turned around.

A series of crackling sounds emanated from Bakal's body. After the sword light dissipated, streaks of blood appeared, and dragon blood had soaked through Bakal's clothes.

The wound sizzled, and invisible sword energy burned the writhing flesh, as if preventing the wound from healing.

The adventurer stood still, his chest rising and falling slightly as he adjusted his breathing.

Most of the weapons in the sky had already fallen, but Bakal's face still showed a strong fighting spirit.

"Not bad, you are worthy to see my full glory!" As he opened and closed his mouth, a powerful pressure emanated from Bakal.

Bakal roared to the sky, letting out a dragon's howl that echoed through the heavens. Flames gradually enveloped his entire body, and the violent heat seemed to scorch the air itself.

Bakal's figure began to rise from the ground, gradually increasing in size from its initial normal size to the size of a building.

Bakal the Explosive Dragon King has officially arrived!
