The old man chuckled. " Leave the beast king's successor to me." The others nodded and chose their opponents.

The black Ahnunaki faced Ursela while the elf woman and the Nephilim faced Linglong. Ved wished them luck then turned his attention to the old man.

" Be careful Ved, this old man is strong,I sense a familiar power in him." He didn't need to be reminded. His instincts were streaming at him already.

The old man took off his top revealing a muscular upper body with thick veins. He stretched and his bones cracked.

The sound reverberated through the air. He started walking towards Ved with steady steps on the air as if it was solid ground.

Ved stood tense, then the old man attacked. His body turned into a blur and appeared right Infront of his eyes.

However Ved wasn't a weakling, he was able to easily follow his movements not to mention he had Manas who had an even more powerful detection ability than him.

The old man's punch shook the sky, the air ignited from the friction painting the sky red. Ved retaliated.

As a dragon, being challenged to a bout of physical strength was insulting. He punched back with a fist even larger than the old man's entire body.

Then the two fists collided, what Ved had expected did not happen. Instead of seeing the old man's bones break.

The two of them were were pushed back a dozen kilometres from each other. He felt a sting on his fist and one of his scales had a small crack.

He frowned then noticed something he didn't before. The old man had gauntlet on his fists.

' I see, that's his vessel, no wonder.' vessels like gauntlet usually enhanced physical strength so this was not a surprise.

However instead of being scared he felt excited, it was rare to find somebody who can fight him head on like this.

While he would love to fight fist to fist with the old man, this was a war, he couldn't afford to waste that time for his own fun.

Instead he fired a barrage of nuclear blasts, however the old man didn't dodge. His gauntlet shone with red light that formed a domain 2 kilometres in radius around him.

The moment the nuclear blasts entered this domain their power dropped rapidly. However he noticed the old man frown.

He immediately detonated them causing a cloud of blue fire to spread out, even though he knew that will not even be close to being enough to stop the old goat.

The flames cleared and the old appeared without a scratch. " Strange, no energy based ability should be able to work in my domain unless it's a physical enhancement ability, truly strange."

Ved understood why the old bastard wasn't happy. His ability probably neutralises any and all long ranged abilities.

However Ved reckoned it only worked for essence based abilities but his trait were pure.

However he noticed his nuclear blasts grew weaker, which could mean it can effect any type of energy that doesn't directly enhance the body in some way.

And nuclear energy was a form of energy, just one the old man was probably not used to dealing with.

" Don't let him get used to your energy type, I recognise this ability now, no wonder he felt so familiar, it belonged to a race known as titans.

They were a purely physical race that can match true dragons in physical strength even on the same grade.

Their only ability was creating a domain where all energy outside of the users body can be dissected and split into nothingness thus neutralising almost all abilities.

However the only condition was that they had some understanding for that type of energy."

Ved understood, If he wanted to have an advantage over the old man, he would have to keep his energy based techniques like nuclear based attacks to himself.

Meaning he would have to depend on physical strength in the end. He sighed and looked around the battlefield and things weren't looking good.

His people were struggling, had it not been for the turtle family who used their high defensive abilities to protect the others

He was afraid the death tall would've been much larger by now. Nobody was facing a single opponent except him and Ursela.

And even they were facing people an entire grade above them. Had they not been descendents of primordial races who can fight grades above them, they would've been doomed.

He turned his attention towards the old man, ' Physical enhancement only huh? Should I use it? No' he chose not to use any ability and lunged.

He covered the distance in a split second and immediately punched. The old man returned the punch.

When their fists collided the sky shook, a shockwave spread out splitting the sky apart. However neither even took a step back.

He felt his blood boil with excitement, the old man grinned, a second punch came. Ved punched back, his massive arm turning into a blur.

In only a split second they had exchanged thousands of blows with neither coming up on top.

Their bodies turned into blur that shook the sky with each collision. Ved spun and swung his tail like a whip.

The force was so powerful it sent wind slashing through the air. However the old man dodged and immediately punched Ved from above.

Ved raised his arm to block the punch which sent him crashing towards the sea below but he created strings catching the old man off guard and dragging him along.

They crashed on the sea sending waves as tall as skyscrapers in every direction. The moment they sunk underwater Ved kicked.

As a true dragon he can use human martial art comfortably and with extreme skill which caught the old man off guard.

He was flabbergasted seeing a dragon doing a spinning kick and since he didn't expect such a move all he managed to do was raise his arms to block.

The sea exploded from the force of his kick sending the old man flying out of the sea into the sky.

He shot out right after chasing him, they turned into streaks of lights chasing each other towards the clouds.

As he was flying up chasing after the old man he saw White flying past him, shooting down like a white star with blood on her beautiful fur.
