Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires

Chapter 44  Argon's Legendary Spirit (EDITED)

Noticing a wild Star Beast, he dashed towards it after pulling out his fiery sword. He just willed it, and golden-red fire essence enveloped the sword.

Arriving in front of the beast in the next second, he beheaded it with a single fiery strike as the blood splashed on his face.

The murderous air ran, flowing along with the wind. However, his crazed appearance added to his ferocity.

Two hours later, after getting rid of more star beasts and calming himself, Argon was walking through the deep parts of the dangerous forest with unhurried steps.

While scanning the whole region, he didn't even bother paying attention to the dark clouds that loomed and the turbulent winds that blew without stopping for a moment.

Soon, in a big, old forest, Argon, his sword blazing with fire, faced a lion-like beast that appeared out of nowhere. The air smelled of burning and dirt, and the trees cast long shadows over them.

All of a sudden, Argon spotted a crystal lying near the Beast, which had a dense and purest spirit essence.

Upon observing it with his keen gaze, his eyes turned red. And in his current mood, the thoughts of getting the valuable thing caused his battle intention to rise and reach the highest point.

But the current him was at the High-Stage of Spirit Foundation Realm, while the lion, which seemed to have Earth Spirit Attribute, was a whole realm higher, being a Peak-Stage Rank 3-Star Beast.

With determined eyes, Argon swung his sword at the Earth Lion, flames trailing its edge.

The fierce Earth Lion gave a ferocious roar that struck his senses, creating a thundering echo with piercing noise and rumbling in the woods.

Like a boulder thrown into a boiling vortex, the clashing flames and spirit essence collided, and soon the blade reflected his side profile with an infuriated light that lit a scary aura, shaking the whole atmosphere.

However, the violent flow and strength within its body were not things that could be taken care of without much effort. Even if he was facing an earth-based beast in the wilds, his Spirit Sword's attack failed to wound the beast.

Sparks of fire erupted as Argon threw a barrage of fiery projectiles. Yet, the earth lion smashed its dangerous paws hard on the ground and blocked all the projectiles with an earth wall that erupted between them.

Right then, a loud rumble roared. Argon felt the heavy shake before seeing the wall burst open, and the beast bolted in his direction.

Following that, its feline muzzle opened a little, and its red pupils gave him a direct stare, conveying extreme fury and charging at him with fury.

Argon watched its approach, and right when it reached his proximity, he encased himself right away in a protective aura of fire, preparing for the beast's charge.

But it wasn't that simple. As the momentum of the Earth Lion's strong body kept increasing, soon its mighty jaws stretched wide open, a frightening maw shrouded his vision, and its roar in close range caused his mind to go blank.

RUMMMMMMMBBBLLLLEE!!!.

BAAASSSHHH.

Argon was sent flying like a kite with a broken thread, knocking him backward like a rag doll, colliding against a big and tall tree, generating a loud, booming sound that rocked his inner organs, and sending tree leaves flying all around.

CRAAAACCKK.

PAKK.

SPURT.

More pain rushed into him and attacked his mind with intensity as sharp rocks and stones broke off and slashed through his skin, making it hurt so much that he couldn't force out any sounds. Soon, a foul odor streamed from his throat, carrying a stinky taste as warm blood flowed.

Breathing and swallowing became painful as the muscles contracted and spasmed with each gasp he took.

Looking at the approaching Earth Lion beast, his anger flared as he willed with all his might and summoned his Spirit which he tried his best not to use during the normal course of time.

Rumble! Bang! Boom!

ROOOAAAAARRR!

A mighty pressure started to envelope the area; the sky thundered with lightning streaks running everywhere; rain started to fall; and water was formed all over, creating a frightening scene.

Its furs rose on their own, following instinct, and stood erect, sensing a stronger existence. The pressure it emitted was heavy and majestic, making it more cautious and stopping its approach. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

At that moment, right away, the lion froze with a stunned look, and its red pupil locked towards the sudden fluctuation with an increased surprise, looking with uncertainty and anticipation.

Its furs rose on their own, following instinct, and stood erect, sensing a stronger existence. The pressure it emitted was heavy and majestic, making it more cautious and stopping its approach.

Seeing the Earth lion behaving in a different manner from before, Argon struggled to sit with all his pain and looked at his spirit manifesting.

Soon, in a dark and stormy sky, amidst this wild weather, a Red Fire Dragon appeared. Its red, shiny scales glowed like hot sparks, lighting up the night. With powerful wings, it soared with grace through the storm, leaving a trail of evaporated rainwater droplets behind.

As lightning lit up the sky, the dragon's eyes shone like bright red gems. Flames blazed along its body, fueled by an inner fire. The dragon's roars combined with the thunder, creating a powerful and primal sound. Its fiery body shone in the night, revealing the detailed patterns on its scales.

The Fire Dragon was a mythical, legendary spirit. It was considered very rare by every supreme force and cultivator alike, as it possessed impressive traits that had incredible prowess and might that could not compare to any ordinary spirit, giving even prominent families a headache as any family's wishful desire was to awaken these spirits through cultivation methods and bloodlines.

Although Argon had awakened it, the hidden powers of this spirit haven't been discovered yet due to his low cultivation.

Under the pouring rain and flashing lightning bolts, Argon exerted all his power and made the Fire Dragon Spirit advance forward in a rapid flash, causing the heavy rainwater between them to flow into streams.

The Earth Lion was already under the heavy pressure of this legendary spirit; now its aggression caused its face to distort further and turn ghastly white in an instant.

In fact, every inch of its body was trembling under the dominance released by this majestic Fire Dragon Spirit, terrifying its soul and awakening the animalistic fear deep in its blood.

To combat its fear, an instinctive growl sounded aloud. Like an inevitable fate, the clash was unavoidable, leaving it no place to retreat.

BAAAM.

RoarrRRrrR!

Both beasts collided, and Argon focused hard and exerted all his remaining effort for one attack. The Fire Dragon Spirit wrapped itself around the lion, with both its tail and large legs clutching its giant body.

With a fierce bite, its jaw sank deep into the neck area of the earth lion. Blood exploded between them and dripped onto the wet and muddy ground, mixing with water to form a dim, bloody red hue.

RoARR!!!.

Under such suppression, its pained cries and roars echoed louder. It struggled in fury and twisted with vigor. Unbearable agony overwhelmed the beast's body and mind. The Earth Lion's skin was quite tough, but with a greater force, the Fire Dragon tore its neck apart, showing no mercy.

As the time passed, it succumbed to its death as the Fire Dragon Spirit raised its head and gave a mighty roar to show its dominance over everything around it.

RAWWWRRR…..

With a magnificent cry, its large and red eyes flashed dangerous light and, with pride, glared at the surroundings.

Among all spirits, the dragons were respected by every living being.
