Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Tulnas dashed ahead.

However, his movement wasn’t as Guissepo expected. Or rather, what followed wasn’t as the Evenfall cultist expected altogether!

He did not see anything else but a fist blast into his face with the force of an otherworldly locomotive!

The cultist’s force ripped from the power as he felt a shuddering shock soar through his body!

The entire sand dune that he and Guissepo stood on exploded from the force that was released on contact as the Evenfall cultist went on to be launched a great distance at breakneck speed!

He crashed into another sand dune, his whole body feeling an incredible heat that tried to invade his flesh the instant he was submerged!

TSSSS!

The sand started to melt, its effort being geared towards swallowing him whole and turning him into a charred corpse surprise!

‘What is this…?’ Guissepo thought as he felt the sand around him coiling dangerously as it sought to subdue him!

He immediately pushed himself out of the sand with a burst of condensed mana and exposed himself back to the surface, but the moment he did, he saw Tulnas’ spinning figure arch and land a kick to the back of his neck!

BOOM!

The sheer force brought him down into the sand which fly from his descent at the foot, his figure digging deep into the ground as he found himself held tight by the sand that kept pulling him inside in an attempt to bury him deep enough!

‘Arghh….extravagantly annoying!’ Guissepo thought as he pulled himself out, but then…_.

An overbearing force hammered through the sand from above, bringing with it such a devastatingly lethal amount of power that it bore a large hole from above while pushing a large of sand down to descend on Guissepo who continue to sink!

Tulnas had punched the heck out of the spot where Guissepo was being pulled into by the sand, the entire force caused the entire False Territory to shudder!

His raw strength was boosted to a shocking degree!

Tulnas’ Territory was vastly different from the real thing.

It was, as its name stated, a False Territory, made when he worked with the third and strongest tamed beast he had in his arsenal, the Grinning Jester Fox.

In reality, it wasn’t even close to 40% when it came to effectiveness and power when compared to a regular Majestic Territory, a power whose application and traits were too complex for the current level of fighters in this battle.

It only lasted for two minutes from when it finished forming, but that was usually enough for Tulnas to end a fight.

Its basic purpose was to amplify his stats to the point where he could exhibit strength, speed and endurance way beyond his current capacity to demolish any enemies he pulled within the Territory.

On top of this, the weather conditions; the extreme cold in the air and the vicious heat under the sand were supposed to give his opponents a rough experience in their two minutes worth of detention within.

As for the main purpose of this Territory… Tulnas hoped to keep that unforgiving wraps until he truly needed to use it.

That was of course, if it could be helped.

The Tamer narrowed his eyes as the sand before him emitted heat, smoke and steam from the temperatures that were rising underneath.

‘After eating all my attacks, this bastard is still not bruised or even scratched. Heh, the Master Stage really is unforgiving. Though I doubt he’s scaled it up even to Terian’s level,’ Tulnas thought.

In the next moment, something he wholly expected happened.

Bits of multi-coloured fireworks sparkled from the massive hole he had gouged from the ground with his punch!

Guissepo’s figure shot out, his body being unscathed as he even had all his clothes on, his black and purple hair fluttering as he steadied himself on the surface.

“Quite the extravagantly neat tricks you have there. Unfortunately for you. I’ve decided it’s fine if you just die here!” Guissepo said before he moved, the wind around exploding from his steps worth of action which was once again, too fast for most to see!

Tulnas’ eyes immediately adopted an orange tint instead of their usual ocean blue hue, as when he was about to react, Guissepo flung an incredibly powerful palm strike at his head!

With his orange eyes gleaming, Tulnas saw the movement of Guissepo’s palm strike clearly with recurring hazy images of its flow, his instincts causing him hurriedly raised his arms to guard!

He made it in time, but…

Bits of multi-coloured fireworks struck Tulnas’ arm along with a horrendous force that… instantly blew his arms into a bloody pulp, the raw power emitted from the palm strike carrying over as it minced the skin of his face and exploded his head into chunks when the two touched!

Splatter!

Guissepo scoffed as he saw Tulnas’ headless and bloody body sway this way and that…

“Talented heathens have extravagantly more hubris than I imagined…” Guissepo said as he waved his hands of gore.

However, in the next mini-moment, Tulnas’ corpse exploded with a raucous mass of sand spilling everywhere instead of blood, this effect shocking Guissepo as this obviously wasn’t what he expected!

From the sand, Tulnas’ figure jutted out with a ridiculing grin as he launched himself forward at breakneck speed with his arm cocked back, veins popping up as he exerted all his current strength!

“Try again!” Tulnas yelled as his fist tunnelled threw the air, its appearance looking like it was made from frost covered ice instead of flesh, a thick energy, like Aura wrapping around it!

The force of impact when the punch touched Guissepo’s face was insane, as the swaths of sand parted and trembled, with Guissepo’s visage twisting from the impact!

The cultist was launched over yonder, this time with a bleeding nose but Tulnas wasn’t done!

He bolted ahead with quick steps, his fugue barely showing with his movement as he trailed after Guissepo on the ground!

He reached the man in flight and went on to tackle and slam him into the ground where the sand welcomed the cultist by instantly melting, several thousand degrees being reached in an instant as Guissepo started to sink into it!

The cultist didn’t feel pain however, as a halo of neon light re-emerged from behind him!

“Hahahaha! How extravagantly blessed by your pagans gods you are, boy!” Guissepo cackled madly as he pulled his arms out of the lava and gripped Tulnas’ neck tightly with an inescapable grip that punctured and clogged Tulnas’ blood vessels!

The young Guild leader’s face instantly turned pale with his eyes turning bloodshot but he remained grinning even when Guissepo went on pull him forward and give him a phenomenal head-butt that was heard all around this mini-world, the Tamer’s head turning into chunks once again!

“Hit harder, you old coot!”

Once again, Tulnas’ corpse ballooned and burst into shots of wild sand, a lively Tulnas emerging from within this wave with an even crazier visage of battle-loving joy as he yelled, his hands going on to grab Guissepo’s head as he then planted his knee into it!

Another turbulent force blew out, pushing away the vast geographical features within this space!

As Tulnas dropped his attack on this older man, spots of multi-coloured fireworks brimmed all around Guissepo.

No!

All around the two within the entire False Territory as in the next moment, Guissepo struck his elbow into Tulnas’ thigh, breaking apart the bone easily as he then went on to grab his face and plant it into the ground with a deafening noise, the Territory once again shuddering!

Around his body, an insane amount of these bits of sparkling, coloured fireworks twinkled as the cultist the went on to bark joyfully in Tulnas’ face!

“You’re about as crazy as I am, boy! But you lack the conviction to win in one extravagantly fell swoop! Like this!” Guissepo said with excited bursts of heavy pants!

“Extravagant Jubilee!”

BOOOOM!

The sparkling bits all shone in their respective colours with blinding intensity as they went on ignite in an unforgiving explosion!

Tulnas who was held down by Guissepo was incinerated in an instant, turbulent explosions rocking the entire False Territory in such a grand manner that cracks began forming on what was supposed to be the distant dunes and horizons!

Blazing heat and kinetic force shredded the landscape as even the frosty sun looked to quiver from the impact!

What remained on the ground was an open space with charred earth that stretched into the distance, fumes rising from it as only the figure of one man remained.

Guissepo.

He looked around, seeing the mess he had made with the heated ground all around.

Though one would normally wear a triumphant face from causing such destruction, the cultist wasn’t truly convinced that he had successfully felled his enemy.

He remained vigilant but only until he saw more cracks form around him as the False Territory started to break.

‘A wide area attack seems to have done the trick. I must admit that did give me some extravagant trouble though,’ Guissepo said as he wiped his nose clean on the blood that leaked from it.

Yet…

BAAAAM!

An incredibly powerful impact knocked the man on the back of his head as a shockwave blew, forcing him arc forward!

Guissepo was shocked as his cleaned nose once again gushed of blood!

BAAAM!

Another ferocious impact sounded as Guissepo felt a punch lodge into his chest, a leg tripping him so that he fell backwards!

…!

“I TOLD YOU TO TRY HARDER DIDN’T I?!”

Multiple voices echoed out as two mirror images of Tulnas stood over Guissepo with one of them then gripping the cultist’s head, his cheeks swelling up animatedly as he then spat out a concentrated stream of plasma-like water into the cultist’s face!
