Glorious Smash

"It's so easy for you to insult me, prideful bastard!!" Wrathful Slug shouted, fluttering his dragonfly wings and reverberating soundwave from the antlers.

The soundwave didn't flinch Viscable who silently hovered closer, showering The Insectoid Caster in flooding fear. Both Wrathful Slug's arms were enveloped by red energy vines, persuading him to jolt the air below and generate the sparkles on his wings, rapidly merging beneath him.

Wrathful Slug cackled and taunted, "Maybe that's your best thing, insulting a Supervillain like me."

"I'm not simply insulting you," Viscable defied his opponent's claim and switched into a raspy voice as he continued. "Instead, I tried to humiliate your poor excuse of existence, low-life insect."

"You deserve to have a slow death!" Wrathful Slug yelled. "Even worse than the rich people I despise."

"You are the personification of abusing your authority as a Superhero!!" Wrathful Slug ranted.

Viscable frenziedly laughed and provoked, "Go ahead. Show me all you got low-life insect!"

"Prove me if you can pose a threat to Gloricon!!" Viscable shouted, clenching his and being embedded by the gray particles.

"Or better, prove to me if your current capability can make the rest of the world tremble in fear!!" Viscable screamed.

The spark returned The Gigant Centipede to the battlefield again, evoking Wrathful Slug to point his finger toward Viscable. The Centipede bleated its high-pitched growl and sundered toward The Armored Hero who wasn't fazed by its towering presence. Even when the centipede unshackled its jaw and fulminated the swarm of gulping acid, Viscable only drew the knuckle, directing it to the front of his face.

The Armored Hero drop-kicked the air behind him and jounced him to the centipede, similar to jumping high on the trampoline. The Gigant Centipede vomited the round of acid bullets. dividing themselves into three rows. It fired up the enthrallment within Viscable's beating heart, positioning his fist beside his left cheek.

Viscable immediately propelled the barrage of particle-covered punches toward the flock of acid bullets that touched his narrow distance. Like a hundred punching hands visible in the sky, all the acid bullets were decimated. No scars or injuries weren't visible on The Armored Hero every time the punches landed. 

Wrathful Slug centered a mirthful glance toward The Gigant Centipede. Those annoying particles shielded him from receiving the poisonous effect of the disintegrating acid.

At least, I got some winning chance, Whether the bullet being decimated or missed, it still could enhance The Gigant Centipede. 

Wrathful Slug witnessed the Gigant Centippde being sleeved with the gelled liquid that went thicker the more bullets exploded.

The Insectoid Caster blissfully sniggered.

Even though it leads to massive destruction in this city, it is worth it to punish this prideful bastard. And it will be a great opportunity to let go of my fear. Damned the riches! Damned the prideful bastard.

The barrage of punches was ended when Viscable retreated his hand to the back, perceiving the sighting of his particle ceasing out. The Armored Hero anticipatively rotated his glance to the above right, unveiling the sighting of the acid bullet rained upon him. The grayish particles loosed from his feet, preparing him for a prompting evasion.

He fluently swiveled to the down left, avoiding the bullets without difficulty before kicking the air below and sending him to glide forward. Viscable swift flight also encountered the last row of the acid bullets that slid him to the further fight. Once again, he dodged the group of acid bullets, reaching Wrathful Slug who persistently locked his vigilant stare.

"Seems your demeanor has changed when I approached you this time," Viscable taunted, waving his right knuckle.

Wrathful Slug breathed a huge chunk of sore air and responded, "You said before that I wanted to prove my true capability."

"One of the main factors to do it is I must let go of my fear toward you!!" Wrathful Slug professed. "Your current strength was terrifying as you could crush my Gigant Centipede easily."

"But, I Wrathful Slug should bring its hellish rage to any the foes who interfere his way!" Wrathful Slug screamed. "Instead of fleeting away!!"

Viscable tittered, "I praise you for having quite strong courage for continuing this seemingly one-sided fight."

"Now, tell me what surprise you've been hiding from me," Viscable asked bluntly, stopping his fleeing feet from heading further.

"You're about to see it," Wrathful Slug stated, sleeving his entire body with the golden bolting aura. 

"Right in front of your naked eyes, Prideful Bastard." The Insectoid Caster added with a little bolt of enthusiasm kick in.

The Gigant Centipede flickered its sparkling flashes and fled to the cloud above, vacuuming every failed acid bullet into its mouth. With a lot of acid bullets collected by the centipede, its massive body illuminated the blitzing golden lights that were almost as bright as an afternoon sun. The burning brightness even forced Viscable to lift his hand to block his front sight.

A clean opportunity was grasped by Wrathful Slug as he speedily hovered toward its centipede, shimmering more of the bolting aura the closer he reached the centipede. More concisely, his lower half morphed into the whirling amber liquid that reassembled a tiny tornado.

As he was about to touch the narrow distance of The Gigant Centipede, the centipede's head soared a bell-like noise, pausing The Insectoid Caster's fleeing movement. Wrathful Slug voluntarily extended both his arms, allowing the rest of his body to be restructured into amber liquid.

"Gigant Centipede, it's time to declare our ultimate punishment to this one foe!" Wrathful Slug chanted.

Wrathful Slug shook his head and raised the volume of his chant!! "Not just him, but the rest of Gloricon too!!"

"Let us become one!!!" Wrathful Slug cried out with a poised-resolute demeanor, luring The Gigant Centipede to bend its neck toward Wrathful Slug.

Viscable observantly crossed his arms. Wishing Ace Duelist is enough to prevent any collateral damage. Especially from this type of attack.

He shook his head in half regret. I should have finished the Parallel Freedom first.

Beneath the mask, he eagerly grinned. Nonetheless, showing his true power is enough to measure my current capability.

Hence, Viscable watched his foe transform into the tiny amber puddle being swallowed by The Gigant Centipede. With the consumption already filled into satisfaction, The Gigant Centipede enclosed its mouth as tight as possible, sneering toward The Armored Hero and bleating.

Suddenly, The Gigant Centipede grew its current size like a balloon pumped by the huge mass of gas, emanating the red blitzing strings on the wings on its tail. A storming shockwave gusted toward Viscable who pranced to the afar left, firing hundreds of speeding particles from his feet.

The Armored Hero crossed his arms to inspect The Gigant Centipede and expeditiously heightened. Citizens who roamed around on city freed their awed jaw toward the gargantuan shadowy silhouette of the centipede hidden inside the clouds. One of the Centipede witnessed, an old man with a yellow T-shirt raise his convulsing fingers and freezingly bit his lips.

"Oh, dear lord!!" The Old man was flabbergasted by the gigantic sighting that kept getting larger.

"Is this abominable monster going to end us!!" A redhead woman behind the old man frantically uttered.

At last, The Gigant Centipede finished its growth when it achieved the same weight and height as the whole area of Teldrium, wiping the cloud on its surroundings. The humongous sighting of the Centipede became visible, signaling the army circular white drone to fly out from each of the bright blue, tiny portals spawning in the sky.

"As always, the humongous sighting of this thing attracts the news headline to report," Viscable guessed with a perplexed tone.

An ear-piercing sound of the bombarding eruption stung The Armored Man's ears, dashing to the back to gain and enclose his forehand. He cautiously witnessed the mixture of red and golden enlarged tornado materializing on the spine of The Gigant Centipede, unfolding the silhouette of a giant insectoid figure.

The tornado whirled its last spin before vanishing into a complete speck of dust, unconcealed the humongous upper half of Wrathful Slug. The only significant difference was his eyes poured the waving spread of a golden flood of aura, rolling his neck and fixating his gaze on its primary target, Viscable.

Wrathful Slug gasped. He remained calm even after seeing my final form. I needed to make this shot work to finish this battle.

"Prideful BASTARD!!!" A distorted voice of Wrathful Slug echoed throughout the sky above. 

"Get ready to meet your messenger from hell!!" Wrathful Slug added, mashing his hands together and commanding the centipede to lift its head.

"Amusing, but it seems you are getting overconfident, low-life insect," The Armored man taunted with a deep delightfulness, centering his right hand on the sky and unshackling the wild magenta particles.

"This will be your last taunt!" Wrathful Slug remarked, transpiring the flock of amber and red energy on his mashed knuckle.

The Armored Man giggled and guessed, "Did you try to blow the rest of Gloricon due to the sake of annihilating me!?"

"That's the risk I'm going to take!!" Wrathful Slug confirmed, regenerating a massive-bolting orb on his palms. "You and the triumph makers are all the same heroes who threatened my path!"

"Right now, the only thing I care about is to see you drown in hell for good" The Insectoid Caster screamed, charging the 

"Then do it!" Viscable provoked with a grim tone and whispered. "I'm ready to counter anything that comes from you."

The Giant Centipede instantly unshackled its jaw and revealed to gather the wild crimson spark that instantaneously enlarged itself. Therefore, Wrathful Slug plunged its hand and its pet tumbled its jaw, spontaneously plummeting the massive blast that polymerized on the center.

Observing the polymerization of the blast starting, Viscable gripped his right hand and submissively bowed his head. The large wave of magenta particles mounted on the rest of his forehand, forging a call for the next phase of his battle plan. He initiated the call for his finished project to join the scene, shining the magenta beams in his eyes.

Even though I could handle his strongest attack with this form, I was already out of patience to test my backpack.

Viscable sharpened his gaze upward and commenced the chant, "Hundred or thousands of army will tremble when encountering this warrior who flies out from the bottom of the void!!"

The blast's polymerization process was completed, converting itself into the pulsating copper blasting wave nosedive into Viscable. Peril and fear failed to swindle Viscable as he only paused his chant, patiently pushed his head forward, and decided to present his forehand to the front of his face.

"The unstoppable warrior who consistently achieves a flawless victory in any duel both the force of good and evil!!' Viscable continued his rigid chant, liberating the large group of magenta sparkles.

"Arise, my greatest life achievement, ACE DUELIST!!!" Viscable cried out his soaring voice, completing his chant.

A magenta portal door expeditiously popped out on The Armored Man's front sight, evoking him to thrust both arms to guard his ribs. Inside the door, a rocketing backpack spectacularly fled out, leading the door to shrink down faster than the blink of an eye. More precisely, a triangular magenta backpack with a glittering and immaculate surface, debuted on the heating scene. A pair of white glassy shards with a length almost the same as the riffle magnetically hauled on the below part of the backpack.

"Ace Duelist, compress this country-level blast!!" Viscable ordered, stoically marking his finger upward.

A magenta flash glistened through the gaping lines of the backpack, shaping a tiny bright magenta triangle hologram. Then, the backpack rushed and crashed on the rampaging blast, emitting a ricochetting shockwave throughout the sky and blowing the spacious wind that wiped out the clouds.

The more the backpack endured the enormous heat of the blast, the brighter the triangular backpack became until it manumitted the blanketing aura. To be precise, the blanketing aura amplified itself into the exact size of the blast that paused its plummeting movement, driving Viscable to fly to the right.

The blanketing aura squeezed the rampaging blast with its unyielding force, painting the shock within Wrathful Slug. The more dreaded sighting came into The Insectoid Sight with his ultimate blast flawlessly reduced without leaving any remains. The triangular hologram began to dissolve from the backpack.

Wrathful Slug unexpectedly failed to execute his final blast, leading his giant form and the centipede to fade out from the naked eye and reverting him to his usual size. A total incredulity staggered through his expression, lowering his shivering wings and despondently pointing his sight toward Viscable.

"What….did I just witness?!" Wrathful Slug asked dolefully. "What….did I just witness in there?"

"Your impendent demise," Viscable replied, thrusting his clenched hands upward and calling the backpack to hover on his back.

"Impendent…demise?!" Wrathful Slug murmured.

"Ace Duelist, merge with me!!" Viscable commanded.

The black dots fired off the magenta strings that patched on the backpack, hauling it until it safely attached to Viscable's back. His suit transitioned into a darker shade of magenta. Whereas every part of his armor simultaneously radiated the blinding gleams. 

A transcending magenta flash rose upward like a rising sun on the morning, showering unfiltered fear on Wrathful Slug. The flash swiftly ceased to unveil the brand new form of Viscable, The Ace Duelist. Furthermore, the whole part of his armor manifested a couple of changes.

The Ace Duelist possessed a light-pink mask with the pair acuting magenta lines that acted as his eyes, replacing the spot for the goggles. His helmet indeed had a similar design as before. The only difference was the entire gray color disappeared and changed into a glittering magenta as its main spotlight.

Other significant changes from the transformation were both his shoulders were planted by the sharpened and reflective magenta diamonds on the front and the back. His hands were enclosed with the scarlet diamond gloves. A red triangular crystal was cleanly attached to the middle part of the black reflective surface bracelet wrapping around his left wrist. Below his chest, a lavender plate shielded his stomach part.

The glossy front part of the armor brimmed the bright sparkling magenta light, popping the scarlet triangular projections on his knees. Reflecting scarlet gleams radiated on the back of his legs and displayed the tiny pink triangles on the ankle part. A pair of reflective red metal boots strapped on his feet and fired off a fluent group of magenta particles beneath them.

"The real test has begun," Viscable announced.
