419  418: Four Weapons

    Fifth Technique of the Paragon Martial Arts; Eternal Divide: A technique where the user executes a split-second parry with a weapon, redirecting incoming attacks while simultaneously launching a counterattack using the same motion. The redirected energy is absorbed and unleashed back at the opponent in the form of shockwaves or slashes.

    ----

    "Paragon Martial Arts; Eternal Divide"

    Similar to the time Corey used the seventh technique of the Paragon Martial Arts, Cosmos Cleaver, Corey realized that he could not contain the name of the Paragon Martial Art in him.

    He had to shout it out, he had to proclaim it, and he did so without hesitation.

    Unlike what one would expect from such a grand name like Eternal Divide, the fifth technique of the Paragon Martial Arts was actually a counter technique, a parrying technique to explain it simply.

    Eternal Divide was a technique that Paragons how to perform a split-second parry which then led to a powerful counterattack in the form of a shockwave or a slash.

    What made the Eternal Divide different from a normal parrying technique was that the energy of the redirected attack is absorbed by the Paragon, and then it can be released in the form of a shockwave, slash, or punch.

    Absorbing and releasing the energy of a redirected attack is mainly performed by the Devourer''s Stomach and the Celestial Mana Veins.

    Due to the fact that Corey did not possess the Devourer''s Stomach, he was only able to absorb a fraction of the energy of the Capra King''s punch, and even the little fraction he absorbed contained more energy than he expected.

    Knowing that he could not contain the energy in him for too long, Corey decided to release it in the form of a shockwave.

    The Capra King''s surprise increased the more when he felt Corey release a shockwave that made him take a step back.

    The Capra King tried to balance himself, but Corey did not plan on giving him the opportunity at all.

    Without hesitation and without caring about his internal injuries and screaming body, Corey unleashed a second and a third attack with lightning-quick momentum.

    Paragon Martial Arts; Cosmos Cleave

    Paragon Martial Arts; Shattered Heavens

    ----

    Third Technique of The Paragon Martial Arts; Shattered Heavens: A technique where the user combines a powerful upward strike with an axe, sword, fist, spear, etc. After which, chains or whips bind them mid-air, immobilizing the enemy for a finishing blow in the form of a quick spear thrust aimed at the heavens.

    ----

    The Capra King''s eyes slowly widened as he saw a massive pillar of multicolored flaming energy coming at him at a speed that was considered fast even for him.

    The Capra King roared, and with a swing of his arms, he instantly shattered the hexagon barriers that bound him.

    More hexagon barriers appeared and tried to bind him once again, but his unrestrained aura destroyed every single hexagon barrier before they could even fully form.

    The Capra King stretched out his hands, and a second later, the massive pillar of multicolored flaming energy reached him.

    Corey watched with blood pouring out of his eyes, nose, and mouth as the massive pillar of multicolored flaming energy engulfed the Capra King.

    Despite seeing this, Corey did not breathe a sigh of relief. His eyes remained focused and his stars of consciousness worked at maximum capacity to try and heal the severe damages that Corey''s body sustained as a result of him using three techniques of the Paragon Martial Arts without stopping.

    A second after the massive pillar of multicolored flaming energy engulfed the Capra King, Corey heard it.

    The Capra King''s voice reverberated throughout the entire dimension, and the asteroid, planets, stars, and even the flat continent he stood on... trembled.

    "The King''s Slash."

    The instant Corey heard this, Corey saw a thin line appear in the massive pillar of multicolored flaming energy, and a second later, the pillar split apart.

    Corey froze, and with wide eyes, he watched as the thin line split collided with the flat continent and the largest fission he had ever seen in his life appeared 200m beside him.

    There was no loud sound. There was no massive explosion. Just a simple cut that almost split apart a section of the flat continent.

    Corey slowly looked up. Then he saw the Capra King standing in the air, holding four weapons in his hands.

    Two golden swords in his upper right and left hands.

    Two golden spears in his lower right and left hands.

    When Corey saw this, he blinked repeatedly, and then he could not help but chuckle with visible frustration in his eyes.

    "So you use weapons too, huh."

    Corey sighed.

    "Hahhh... I''m so fucked."
