Aguile vs. Mikas

## Story

Mikas burns Agulie in flame. As Agulie is burning up, suddenly a ball of white light envelops around him.

From that time on, the demonic fire and attacks from the outside were no longer a threat, but it was a refinement. In the refinement, the flow of stardust became increasingly skillful. On the white ball of “Alkaid” which was restored to its original state, a new yellow light ball gradually appeared with a word faintly appearing from within: Mizar!

When the yellow ball was completely formed, the force that had been suppressed also erupted and broke through. Chen Rui seemed to be reborn as all his wounds were all recovered. The excitement in his heart could hardly be suppressed – At the brink of life and death just now, I finally broke through the Alkaid state!

Could this be the legendary full revival? It’s just that my clothes and mask were burnt. I am heavily suspicious of running naked… Yeah, I’ll hurry up and wear a cloak. It’s better than wearing nothing.

Chen is then levels up to Star Leader and learns new skills in the Mizar realm (see Super System, Star Attractor).

### Mikas

“This is truly amazing…” Mikas only hesitated for a moment, then his deep voice sounded again. “You actually breakthrough to Greater Demon at the last moment. I must eliminate you today!”

Without waiting for Chen Rui to put on his mask, this voice had appeared before his eyes. A powerful punch was coming to his face. However, Chen Rui’s ability had made a huge improvement. He could clearly see the Mikas’s movement. It was totally different from the passive feeling after ingesting the potions previously.

Chen Rui moved sideways, and he actually distant himself several meters away, dodging the punch. At that moment, the Star Power in his body was abundant and never-ending like the Yangzi River. Regardless of the quality or quantity, it was far better than the Alkaid state, but he just couldn’t adapt at once.

Mikas missed his attack, but he teleported to Chen Rui’s back to attack again before Chen Rui could steady himself. It hit Chen Rui’s back, but Chen Rui’s body only swayed slightly; he was completely fine. He was like a different person who was easily hit flying away previously.

Just when Mikas was secretly shocked, Chen Rui’s counterattack had arrived. Mikas reacted quickly and blocked the punch with his arm. He felt a strong force; his feet actually moved backward slightly.

Mika had been in the early Greater Demon stage for decades, so he wouldn’t be willing to show weakness in front of this freshly-advanced “Greater Demon”. His demonic fire quickly flared up, and he punched again. Chen Rui was pushed back two steps. When he was just about to attack again, his lower ribs were kicked; his body shook for awhile. He shouted furiously, and they began to fight head-on.

It was an exact replica of the battle with Reka in the arena. However, the pressure and destructive power were completely different. As they moved while fighting, the trees in the forest were ruined and destroyed. Within such a strong confrontation, although Chen Rui received quite a few kicks and punches, he gradually adapted to his newly acquired power. He was still in a suppressed state initially, but as time went by, the situation turned into a stalemate. Besides, his advantage in speed and body characteristics began to manifest.

Mikas was getting more horrified as he fought. If he hadn’t seen with his own eyes, he couldn’t believe that this was a Greater Demon power that was less than half a day old. From the previous judgment, Chen Rui should be a royal family, but he didn’t feel the battle suppression that was unique to the royal family. Besides, he seemed to have seen that face somewhere before, but he couldn’t remember it at once.

Right when Mikas was slightly distracted, his opponent took the advantage and his face received a heavy blow. While Mikas staggered backward, Chen Rui had already moved to Mikas’ back. He swung with his arms to throw the unsteady Mikas to the opposite direction. Mikas felt a sharp pain in his back. When he was trying to stabilize his body, he felt something at his lower ribs, and he was kicked again. If he didn’t teleport in time, he might still be attacked continuously.

Mikas just used such a combo on Chen Rui. He never thought he would be attacked by the same most, and he almost suffered a big loss from it. It also showed that Chen Rui was getting more used to “Mizar’s” power. Also, his speed advantage was becoming more obvious, enabling him to attack freely to his mind.

Chen Rui used his Star Power to control his messy breathing. Although the situation was slightly improved, he had just ranked up not more than 1 hour after all. This period of combat consumed a significant amount of stamina, so he thought of using <Aura Blade> to surprise attack Mikas.

Mikas teleported to a distant place. He felt his strength was greatly consumed. He panted while wiping off the blood at the edge of his mouth. The anger and humiliation in his heart were in the extreme.

A weapon appeared in Mikas’ hand out of nowhere. The weapon was a dark chain and both parts were sharp scythes with a short pole. The demonic fire on Mikas was blazing and a hint of red light was visible on the chain. He spun the chain quickly, and the weapon brought a strong burning wind, making the soil and stones around flying in the air. For a moment, it seemed as if the two moons in the sky had become blurred.

## Defeating Mikas

This battle with Mikas was the most dangerous battle in Chen Rui’s life. When he rushed into the attack range of the <Burning Snake Attack> just now, although he relied on his keen sense to dodge.

Aura Blade, Mikas was killed with that new skill. The damage of <Aura Blade> was way more powerful than expected, slicing Mikas and the chain in two.

Chen Rui’s injuries were extremely serious this time, especially his right chest. His lung was penetrated and the blood was flowing out endlessly. Fortunately, he had the two major passive abilities, Astral Form and Damage Absorption. He exchanged a Healing Potion and drank it to clot the blood, then took out a new cloak and put it on.
