I lost my Copy System and awakened a Plundering System

Chapter 249  Battling with the Enemies (10)

"It seems we can take this to the next level," Phoenix Draco said with a grin.

Originat began to flow once again as Phoenix Draco raised his index finger. But this time, Ken didn't just stand by and watch—he moved, striking toward Phoenix Draco.

However, Phoenix Draco didn't counter. Instead, he began dodging, moving up and down, effortlessly avoiding Ken's strikes.

"You can't catch me or touch me," Phoenix Draco taunted.

Ken sighed, realizing the problem. As a phoenix, one of Phoenix Draco's greatest strengths was flight. Chasing him down and catching him wasn't going to happen.

Ken stopped his pursuit, watching carefully as Phoenix Draco prepared his attack. He would just have to defend against it once again.

Suddenly, the crowd watched as a three-colored flaming ball formed once more.

The spectators were surprised—Phoenix Draco was using the same attack as before.

But then, something changed.

The three-colored flaming ball grew in size, its heat even more devastating than before.

A phoenix's cry echoed through the battlefield, sending shivers down the spines of those watching. It felt as if the apocalypse was descending. This fireball was far larger than the previous one.

But then, something unexpected happened.

Phoenix Draco didn't send the attack toward Ken. Instead, to everyone's shock, the massive fireball began to shrink—getting smaller and smaller—until it took the form of a tiny three-colored flaming phoenix.

Tera's eyes widened in shock.

"He compressed that much Originat so effortlessly…?"

Such a feat was no simple task. To perfectly refine and condense that much energy without losing control required immense talent and mastery over fire.

Tera looked at Phoenix Draco in awe. To achieve this, one had to be favored by fire itself and undergo countless hours of training.

Ken's instincts screamed at him.

His hair stood on end.

His body went rigid.

He could smell death.

And then—Phoenix Draco released the small phoenix.

The tiny flame bird chirped as it streaked toward Ken with terrifying speed.

Ken couldn't afford to just stand there.

"Metal Apocalypse!"

"Metal Slash!"

He unleashed countless attacks, sending metal slashes hurtling toward the phoenix.

But nothing worked.

The flaming phoenix remained unharmed, still locked onto him.

"Adamantine Golden Body!"

Ken roared, activating his defensive skill once again.

BOOM!!!!!

A resounding explosion erupted.

The sound was so loud that some people temporarily lost their hearing.

The earth trembled violently, as if an earthquake had struck.

Then… silence.

All eyes were locked on the battlefield, staring at the devastation caused by the attack.

Those who had been watching from afar hurried closer, their expressions filled with shock and worry.

For a moment, they thought—Could this be an invasion? Had Volkoid already arrived?

The crowd backed away even further as the shockwave of the explosion leveled everything in its path.

The ground was filled with cracks.

The sky was still burning.

Many of those watching shuddered—if that attack had landed on them, they would have been completely obliterated.

They turned to look at Phoenix Draco in horrified awe.

To him, this competition was nothing but child's play.

All eyes turned to the center of the explosion.

Was Ken still alive?

Or…

Had Phoenix Draco already won?

The spot where the explosion landed was now a pit of magma, flames still raging toward the sky.

Then—

A shadow emerged.

The spectators gasped in shock.

A figure was walking out of the flames.

And when the flames parted—

It was Ken.

But something was different.　　 　 　　　　　 　　  　　 　 

The fire wasn't touching him.

It was avoiding him.

A pathway of untouched ground formed around him as he walked forward.

Even stranger—his body was no longer golden.

Now, he looked like an ordinary human being.

But when people looked at him, they felt as if they were staring at metal itself.

The air around him was so dense with Metal Originat that just looking at him made them uncomfortable—as if the metal energy would strike them at any moment.

Tera sighed, realizing what was happening.

"Law…"

Ken was using the Metal Law.

Tera glanced toward Deus, who had also used Law before.

Phoenix Draco's instincts screamed at him.

A deep sense of danger surged through him.

Without hesitation, he activated one of his most powerful skills—

CHIRP!

"Sand Storm!" Orion called out as the sand moved, forming a whirlwind that headed toward Five-Colored Draco.

Five-Colored Draco maintained the same expression as a five-colored Originat wrapped around his fist. He punched toward the whirlwind twice.

Two five-colored Originat punches struck the sandstorm, dispersing it instantly.

At that moment, Orion's figure vanished, only to reappear behind Five-Colored Draco, who quickly turned and punched toward Orion's incoming fist.

Their fists collided, unleashing a powerful shockwave that cut down trees in the surrounding area. Suddenly, poison began seeping from Orion's body.

"Like I said, I'm immune to your poison," Five-Colored Draco said coldly.

Orion refused to believe it and sent out even more poison toward Five-Colored Draco. But when he saw his opponent standing unharmed, his anger surged.

Realizing he had no choice but to accept the truth, he backed away, distancing himself from Five-Colored Draco, who simply watched with a smile.

Orion's eyes steeled as he made an important decision.

Once again, he charged toward Five-Colored Draco, who countered without hesitation. They began exchanging fierce blows.

Sonic booms and explosions echoed across the battlefield from the sheer force of their clashes.

"Sand Thorns!"

Orion sent a barrage of sand thorns toward Five-Colored Draco, who simply punched through them with his fists.

Then, suddenly—

Orion's fist landed on Five-Colored Draco, and this time, Draco felt a sting.

When he looked down, he saw a black scorpion tail coiled around Orion's arm—its stinger embedded in his flesh.

Orion let out a triumphant laugh.

"Now, your Originat is going to be completely sealed! Without your Originat, how do you plan to fight me?"

Five-Colored Draco looked at Orion in surprise. He wasn't lying.

He could feel it—his Originat was being sealed.

"Now, watch yourself get beaten!" Orion sneered before appearing in front of Five-Colored Draco and delivering a punch.

Although Five-Colored Draco had quick reflexes and punched back, his attack lacked force, allowing Orion to send him flying.

Orion laughed in delight, his eyes gleaming with sadistic pleasure.

He rushed forward and continued to pummel Five-Colored Draco relentlessly.

"Don't worry, I won't make your death painful. I'll just gouge out your eyes, rip out your intestines… See? I'm being merciful here!" Orion said with a twisted expression.

Five-Colored Draco chuckled at his words.

"Do you really think you can stop me with this?"

A grin spread across his face.

And then—

Everyone felt it.

The Originat shifted.

The energy in the air surged toward Five-Colored Draco.

Then, with a thunderous roar—

"HAAAHH!"
