Chapter 547 Thunderous Glory, Awe-inspiring Power (Thirteen)

Xia Yu raised his head and looked up at the three-headed dragon, cursing the builder of the Dragon Spiral Tower in his heart.

The first and second levels of the secret realm are relatively normal. Although the Pokémon guarding the gates are very powerful, they at least give challengers a chance and hope of victory.

But upon reaching this level, the situation completely changed. A three-headed dragon with quasi-god-like potential appeared directly, and to be honest, Xia Yu didn't think anyone could defeat it.

Although this Hydreigon's strength has been suppressed to near-Champion level, its terrifying potential is undeniable, making it virtually impossible for any Pokémon of equal strength to defeat it.

The difficulty level is too high.

This is like taking a math class at school where the teacher usually teaches 1+1=2, but the exam question is about how to build an aircraft carrier.

Is this reasonable?

…………

Hearing the roars of the three-headed dragon, Xia Yu was momentarily at a loss for words.

He said he wasn't there to undergo a trial, that he was just passing by... well, the three-headed dragon definitely wouldn't believe him.

They're supposed to be here for a trial, so there's a high chance they'll have to fight Hydreigon. It's more like they're just sending their Pokémon up to get beaten up. Fighting Hydreigon is practically a free kill.

…………

"Human, send your strongest Pokémon to face my trial!"

The three-headed dragon's roaring voice rang out once more.

Xia Yu's eyes flickered, and he hesitated.

Although it knew the chances of defeating the three-headed dragon were zero, it still tried its best.

Hydreigon, being a Dark/Dragon-type Pokémon, is four times weaker to Fairy.

Therefore, Xia Yu's best choice is only the Iron Warrior.

The Fighting and Fairy-type Iron Warrior has four times the resistance to Dark and is immune to Dragon-types, making it practically the father of Hydreigon. However, Xia Yu had no confidence in facing the Hydreigon in front of him.

Moreover, Iron Warrior had just gone through a major battle and hadn't had time to heal. Now, facing the three-headed dragon in front of him, his chances of winning were slim.

Ugh.

Xia Yu couldn't help but sigh, but at this point he had no other choice but to take out the Iron Warrior's Poké Ball again and send the Iron Warrior into battle!

"Go, Iron Warriors!"

…………

A flash of red light appeared, and the Iron Warrior's figure appeared on the open platform. It had sensed Hydreigon's powerful aura even while it was still inside the Poké Ball.

This made it feel a little excited, its blood was burning and boiling.

Its greatest interest lies in battling the strong; the stronger the enemy, the more excited it becomes.

The Iron Warrior gripped his double-edged blade tightly, his eyes blazing, as he looked up at the three-headed dragon that blotted out the sky.

The clouds and mist shrouded the three-headed dragon's massive body, revealing only its terrifying head and long neck. Its appearance was both frightening and majestic, like a god looking down at the Iron Warrior.

Compared to the three-headed dragon, the Iron Warrior is as insignificant as an ant.

"It's you! You want to challenge me?!"

The three-headed dragon roared, its dark and dragon energies merging and boiling together, burning like raging flames. The overwhelming pressure formed a giant wave that surged towards the Iron Warrior.

It tore at and swallowed it like an endless abyss of sin, leaving it in despair and suffocation.

Faced with this terrifying aura, the Iron Warrior showed no fear whatsoever.

Faith, like a beacon of light, sustained him as he bravely faced the three-headed dragon.

Its body stood tall and straight, like a sharp sword, with a resolute gaze, as Xia Yu looked on in astonishment.

Iron Warrior slowly raised the double-headed blade in his hand, pointing it directly at the three-headed dragon in front of him.

To challenge the gods in the heavens with the body of an ant!

The Iron Warrior demonstrated its attitude and its beliefs through its actions!

No matter how strong the enemy is, the word "retreat" is never in the dictionary of the Iron Warrior.

Moreover, everyone's strength has been suppressed to the near-champion level!

You should know that Iron Warriors dared to directly challenge even the God of Dreams, let alone the three-headed dragon in front of them.

Seeing the iron warrior's fighting spirit, the three-headed dragon showed a hint of interest: "The trial...begins!"

As the voice of the three-headed dragon rang out, astonishing power erupted from its body, with dark energy surging out like black flames from its massive form.

The extremely dense evil energy transformed into a long black rainbow almost instantly, erupting from the head of the three-headed dragon. It surged like a tsunami, a flash flood, or a bloodbath, instantly engulfing the entire mountaintop and covering the open platform at the summit.

The simple and unadorned wave of evil directly targeted the entire platform on the mountaintop, completing its fire coverage.

The overwhelming attack left the Iron Warriors with absolutely no room to dodge.

The overwhelming evil energy descended like a black waterfall, crashing down on the entire platform and turning the mountaintop black.

"boom!"

The evil energy poured out, permeating the entire mountain peak, turning it black like a dark mist.

The Iron Warriors, bearing the brunt of the attack, became the focal point of the fire, taking full responsibility for all the impacts of the Evil Wave.

Even though fairies and fighters have four times the resistance to evil, they can only grit their teeth and resist in the face of absolute power.

The endless stream of evil energy, like a black torrent falling from the sky, engulfed the Iron Warrior's body, pressing it forcefully into the ground, and staining its entire body black.

Iron Warrior resisted desperately, but the increasingly powerful Dark energy caused its knees to bend, forcing it to kneel uncontrollably to the ground.

Is this really the level of a near-championship?

Xia Yu, standing to the side, was utterly shocked by what he saw.

Although everyone is at the near-champion level, the power that Hydreigon is showing at this moment is too terrifying. Not to mention near-champion level, even champion level might not be able to defeat him.

"Iron Warrior! Moon Power!"

Faced with the terrifying attack of the three-headed dragon, the Iron Warrior, in dire straits, finally erupted at this moment.

An astonishing fairy-type energy erupted from its body, and a pink mist enveloped its surroundings.

At this moment, the Iron Warrior chose to use his insignificant power to fight against the three-headed dragon.

Amidst the endless black evil energy, a wisp of pink fairy energy emerged, struggling like a drifting catkin in the wind.

The Iron Warrior's eyes hardened, and it suddenly raised its double-edged blade, releasing pink fairy-type energy that enveloped the sharp purple blade.

Cut it out with one knife!

A pink glow flashed, like dreamy moonlight, before being cleaved in two by the waterfall of evil energy.

The originally surging waterfall of evil energy instantly dissipated, spreading outwards like black mist and eventually vanishing into nothingness.

The pressure vanished instantly, and the Iron Warrior's chest heaved as he gasped for breath.

Its body swayed slightly, and its hands, which were gripping the double-edged blade, trembled slightly, clearly indicating that the strike it had just delivered had exhausted most of its strength.

The Iron Warrior lowered its head, looking at its right hand that held the double-edged blade. A hint of surprise and disbelief flashed in its eyes. In that instant, it felt as if it were different.

It seems to have reached... the near-master level.

Chapter 548 Thunderous Glory, Awe-inspiring Power (XIV)

The three-headed dragon looked at the iron warrior before it with even greater interest. It had thought that this ant would be as easily defeated as the challengers before it.

Unexpectedly, it actually took the hit and even made a breakthrough at the critical moment.

interesting.

Even if they break through, they've only transformed from ants into moths.

The three-headed dragon's gaze swept back and forth over the Iron Warrior. Although the Iron Warrior's aptitude was somewhat lacking, its unwavering belief did give it a slight chance of becoming a god.

Gods...

There seemed to be a hint of nostalgia in the three-headed dragon's eyes, as if it were thinking of its former self.

I grew up step by step in the same way, going through hardships before breaking through the shackles and reaching the strength of a god.

Even if a non-legendary Pokémon like this has the highest innate talent, it can only reach the Master level at most!

For ordinary Pokémon to leapfrog the Master level and enter the pseudo-legendary level, faith, effort, and luck are all indispensable.

Although the Iron Warrior before us is only at the Quasi-Master level and has not yet reached the Master level, its tenacious character makes it entirely possible for it to break through the shackles, break through to the Master level, and then step into the Quasi-God level.

As for god-level strength, apart from the most supreme gods, no Pokémon can reach that level.

…………

“Interesting!” The voice of the three-headed dragon rang out. Its massive body landed on the platform, bringing its huge dragon head close to the Iron Warrior: “You have passed my trial.”

As it spoke, the three-headed dragon shifted its gaze to Xia Yu. Its massive head slowly approached Xia Yu, and the breath it exhaled from its nostrils whipped Xia Yu's clothes wildly like a whirlwind.
