Chapter 346: Against a Demi-god! Part-2.
Rio felt excited in his mind, but his face remained the same as usual.
He hasn\'t fought a genuine S-ranker since he awakened his sword heart, and this is the moment where he can test out his abilities.
His sword heart enhanced the power of his sword intent many times over.
Rio was already strong enough to compete with semi-s-grade ever since he reached rank A, and now that he\'s at the peak of rank A and has the sword heart
It\'s very much possible to fight an early-stage S-ranker; a peak S-ranker is still out of his capabilities, though.
Rio twisted his wrist a bit and placed the tip of his sword on the skeleton of the dragon, on which he had been standing all this time.
\'I haven\'t tried this yet, but I guess I should give it a try now that I have the chance to go all out...\'
[Sword Intent!}
[Elemental Sword Art: Miasma Type: Undead Puppet!]
Miasma condensed on Rio\'s sword and got enhanced by the power of sword intent and the sword heart, then Rio directly embedded that miasma into that skeleton with his sword as a medium.
His sword is extremely strong, so it can withstand such a strong power of corruption.
The skeleton bones suddenly started to change color from pure white to pitch black.
Miasma flowed through them, corrupting them to the core, and Rio took control of that skeleton.
He waved his hand, and the giant skeleton of the dragon slowly stood up.
Many necromancers across the globe dream of obtaining dragon bones to create the highest- grade undead puppet called \'Undead Bone Dragon\', and Rio created it just on whim.
He pointed his sword at the giant golem and said,
"It\'s Mecha time!"
Even Fenix was taken aback by Rio\'s ability to control \'Miasma\'.
In the whole world, the only beings who can control \'Miasma\' are either demons or those who have gone through demonification.
\'Miasma\' is extremely lethal for any living being; it can corrupt your body, soul, and even consciousness.
The souls that get corrupted by miasma don\'t even get the chance of being born again and end up becoming evil spirits most of the time.
Yet, Rio is able to control this power due to various circumstances.
First of all, he has \'Elemental Sword Art\', which lets him control any and every type of element; secondly, he has \'Sword Intent\' that can help in enhancing and stabilizing these elements.
Lastly, he has the sword heart, which further helps in boosting the power of these elements, improving control, and other aspects.
It would be strange if he couldn\'t use various elements, even with the help of these three things.
The Giant Bone Dragon did a claw attack on the golem, and the collision between these two colossal beasts created a massive shockwave.
Even the clouds in the sky were swept away a bit, and the wind trembled like crazy in the whole area.
\'This isn\'t all! Let\'s go straight to the breath attack!\'
Dense miasma condensed around the wing bones of the bone dragon and formed wings made up of miasma.
The bone dragon immediately jumped into the air and flapped its wings to fly. It then grabbed the giant golem with its claws and lifted it into the sky.
Rio\'s face was covered in sweat, but he was laughing out of excitement inside his head at the moment.
\'Although it consumes a ton of mana, this ability is really cool. I kind of understand now why Liam always dotes on Ellie. A dragon as a summon is really awesome!\'
The giant golem flailed its limbs madly to get rid of the bone dragon\'s grasp, and it even kicked and punched the dragon, causing many of the bones to fracture.
Each and every collision between the two giants created massive shockwaves in the air. If there was anyone below A-rank in the vicinity, they wouldn\'t even have been able to withstand such strong shockwaves.
But Rio didn\'t care about all that.
He waved his hand after reaching a certain height, and the bone dragon immediately switched from defense to offense.
The bone dragon dove down at an insane speed and pushed the giant golem below it.
The weight of the bone dragon increased the pressure on the golem, and when it fell to the ground, a massive crater was created on the spot.
The force of that collision with the ground caused gigantic cracks in the ground and created new valleys on the spot.
Several thousand tons of debris flew in the air and rained down on the whole desert like a rain of burning lava rocks.
Fortunately, no creature lives in this desert, so there were no casualties.
Just the collateral damage from those collisions alone was enough to destroy many of the skeletons nearby and change the geography of half of the desert.
Even after all this, the stone golem still didn\'t break and only lost one of its arms while also suffering major cracks in its body.
That attack was extremely reckless; when the golem was about to fall down, several stone spikes fired from its body and attacked Rio.
Rio was taken aback for a second, and that small delay caused him to get his left shoulder
injured.
Yet his expression remained the same as usual; he clenched his sword and covered his whole body in sword intent.
[Sword Intent!]
[Elemental Sword Art: Healing Type: Fully Body Healing!]
Rio copied Riya\'s healing element and used it in a similar manner to heal himself. Originally, his elemental sword art couldn\'t use healing elementals as his sword intent wasn\'t stable enough, but now that he has the sword heart, using it is no big deal.
Although he still can\'t compete with Riya in terms of real healing capabilities, at least he can do some basic healing on his own now.
This may seem like a small matter, but it\'s so shocking that Fenix\'s eyes nearly popped out ofn/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
their sockets.
Fenix, who was standing in the air and watching everything, had only one thought in his mind
now.
\'Insanity... This is insanity!!... even healing magic!? M-monster, this kid is insane!\'
Fenix has never heard of anyone other than healers being able to use healing magic.
He himself can use healing elements only because of the fact that he has the world authority \'Heaven\'s Dome\'.
This authority created a unique domain of his own, and he can use any of the world\'s elements inside this specific territory.
But Rio is able to use healing elementals without even needing the help of a \'World Authority\'; he\'s the first one to achieve such an insane feat.
Even if he can\'t compete with genuine healers, being able to do basic healing is already a big
feat.
...
Unaware of Fenix\'s shock, Rio waved his sword again and embedded more miasma into the bone dragon, repairing the damage done to its body.
The bone dragon pinned down the golem firmly, not even allowing it to move in the slightest.
In the meantime, Rio started to concentrate a massive amount of mana on his sword.
He used his sword intent to control the wind and stand in the air, then swung his sword
downward.
[Sword Intent: Maximum Output!]
[Elemental Sword Art: Light Type: Condensed Ray!]
Rio\'s sword glowed brightly as if it were blessed with divine light, and with the swing of his
sword, a gigantic arc made of condensed \'Light elementals\' launched at the two giants below.
That Arc was so condensed and destructive that it split both the bone dragon and the giant golem into two pieces at the same time.
This attack was not only enhanced with the power of max output sword intent that has been mastered halfway to perfection, it was also enhanced by the \'sword heart\' too.
Thus, its power was extremely destructive, and seeing that attack, Fenix understood one
thing.
\'I underestimated him... It would have been much better if I had created an intermediate S
rank golem...\'
Fenix shook his head as he saw the giant golem turn into dust after getting split in two pieces.
\'As I originally thought, this kid indeed has the power to master the \'perfect\' sword Intent...\'
Fenix waved his hand and deactivated his \'World Authority\'. Rio already fulfilled the task, and there was no more need for this gigantic domain.
He flew down and discovered that Rio was lying on one of the giant skeleton\'s broken bones.
*pant**pant*
He was panting heavily, and his whole body was covered in sweat.
Fenix stood beside Rio and smiled,
"Good news, kiddo, you passed with flying colors... I was expecting you to take a few hours to
win, but you won so fast that I nearly mistook you for an S-ranker..."
A rare smile appeared on Rio\'s face at the moment,
"It\'s been a long time since I felt so exhausted... Even when fighting Link, I didn\'t run out of
mana, but today I really exhausted it all... I guess my control over light and healing elements
is still a bit low..."
"I need to improve my control..."
Fenix smiled at Rio\'s words and said,
"You are quite the hard worker, I see... By the way, there are no sane beings in the world who
would dare to use miasma as recklessly as you..."
"And I am quite sure that none can do self-healing except for healer... You have really done
something that is totally unheard of..."
"So, my evaluation of you is that you are an \'Anomaly\', an anomaly that can\'t be measured by
the standards of any evaluation system... You are a \'unique\' existence on your own..."
Rio shrugged his shoulders upon hearing those words and inquired,
"So, did I get a good evaluation or a bad one?"
Fenix laughed at those words, "Of course it\'s an \'uncertain\' evaluation for an \'uncertain anomaly\' like you... Isn\'t\' this quite
\'unique\'?"
Rio nodded his head and closed his eyes; due to exhaustion, he directly fell asleep on the spot. Fenix sighed and shook his head.
"Ugh, it seems I will have to carry him to the dragon palace on my own back again... What a troublesome kid, sigh..."
