Apocalypse King: The Return of Lucian-Chapter 43: The Earth Shatters

Chapter 43: The Earth Shatters

The ground trembled beneath their feet. Rubble crumbled, cracks spiderwebbing through the street as the two monsters faced each other.

Lucian's red aura crackled like a living storm around him, his blade humming with deadly intent. Across from him, Dorian stood tall, golden energy coursing through his veins like liquid fire. His wounds had already healed, his muscles even more defined, his presence even more suffocating.

Then—

BOOM!

They moved at the same time.

Lucian's sword met Dorian's fist in a blinding clash of power. A shockwave exploded outward, leveling buildings, flipping abandoned cars like toys. The deafening roar of their battle rang through the ruined city.

Lucian smirked, twisting his blade to redirect Dorian's force. "Not bad."

Dorian didn't answer—he countered immediately, swinging with terrifying speed. Lucian barely dodged as the air itself split apart from the force of the punch. The street behind him was erased, reduced to a crater.

Lucian laughed, exhilaration coursing through him. "You're getting serious now!"

Dorian's golden eyes locked onto him. "You're still holding back."

Lucian's grin widened. "Maybe."

CRACK!

Dorian disappeared, reappearing above Lucian, his fists clenched together like a hammer.

THOOM!

Lucian dodged just in time as Dorian's fists obliterated the ground, sending a wave of destruction rippling through the city.

Lucian appeared behind him, blade slashing—

Dorian turned, catching the edge with his bare hand. Blood dripped, but he didn't even flinch.

Lucian raised an eyebrow. "You're actually keeping up. I'm impressed."

Dorian smirked. "I haven't even shown you everything yet."

Lucian's smirk faded as he felt it—

The air itself warped, the sheer force of Dorian's Titan's Wrath shifting reality around them. His golden aura erupted, a tidal wave of energy that shattered windows, crushed walls, and sent massive chunks of debris flying.

For the first time, Lucian's eyes narrowed.

Dorian cracked his knuckles. "Let's finish this."

Lucian exhaled, then grinned. "Yeah. Let's."
