[Dual Element Drive: Lightning and Flame Force]!!

The lightning and flames around Bryan's body grew stronger and wilder. This skill was a powerful unique skill of people that has two elemental affinities and above. This skill greatly boosted their firepower and their abilities related to their elements.

Lightning crackled in every direction. It enveloped everything within twenty-meter in diameter around Bryan. It will paralyze any people that have a low resistance to lightning and the flames will place a "burn" status on every people that will chip away their health by twenty per second.

The damage of this skill and the effect of this skill scale on the user's total amount of energy damage.

"Oh, this man has two elemental affinities and it seems that he mastered the unique skill of dual elements."

The S-rank expert that blocked Bryan's path said while narrowing his eyes. He thought that this young man with red hair was just strong but this power was outside of his expectations.

Nevertheless, this young man was still in the realm of liquefying mana and he couldn't easily close the gap between the two ranks.

"The mana consumption of this skill is huge... Well, it seems that I will have to play for a while until Lord Algard finished the ritual."

He said as his mana flowed in every inch of his body to strengthen his physical abilities. But then, the young man in his vision vanished.

"Wha-"

Bang! Bang!

The next thing that he saw was that the two A-rank and several B-rank experts near Bryan flew away as if they received a powerful attack.

It was too fast but he could still follow it.

A faint smile appeared on his face as he tilted his head to the side and a foot coated with lightning and flames passed beside his cheeks.

Swoosh!

"That was close..."

He clenched his fist as he threw a punch but he missed his opponent. His fist hit nothing but the force behind his punch destroyed the land in front of him.

Boom!

Bryan narrowed his eyes and threw a punch at the side of the S-rank. But before his punch landed, he felt a pain in his stomach.

Argh!

He looked down and saw a solid rock burst out of the ground.

'Earth element...'

"Yeah, my affinity is earth element..."

The S-rank closed his palm and waved his hand in front of him. Then, dozens of rocks protruded on the floor to hit Bryan.

Crackle*

A ball of lightning formed on Bryan's palm and he used it to crush the rocks that were flying at him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

'Shit!'

Bryan glanced at the S-rank. The effect of his lightning and flames release wasn't effective on this man. It couldn't even paralyze or burn him.

The difference in A-rank and S-rank wasn't only the form of their mana in their mana pool.

All the mana of a B-rank expert in their mana pool was in gaseous state. Then, the mana inside the mana pool of an A-rank expert was in a liquid state. The release of this mana was much stronger than the gaseous state. Also, the fortifying effects were higher.

Lastly, the S-rank expert.

The mana inside the mana pool of an S-rank expert was solid. It was like a crystal inside a person's body. According to the books, the S-rank's mana pool wasn't a corporeal organ anymore. It was a new organ just like beside the heart of the person that supplied the mana inside the person's body. Just like the monster orb of a monster.

The S-rank has another ability. The protective field that comes from solidifying their mana pool.

The protective field was like a transparent layer of skin. It was always active even if the person was sleeping so it protected them from sneak attacks. Under normal circumstances, no one below S-rank could pierce this barrier.

Once it was broken, the protective field will need a day before it regenerates.

This was one of the things that differentiate S-rank from the ranks below. It widened the gap between them.

Once a person reached this level of power, they will be able to fly freely in the sky, survive in outer space, swim in magma, etc. A true powerhouse just like when a monster became a third evolution stage monster.

With that said, his opponent was no ordinary human at all.

Bryan tightened his fist as dozens of flame spears formed behind him.

[Grinding Flame Spear]!!

Blades of lightning materialized on the side of his two wrists with the length of two feet.

[Lightning Blade]!!

Bryan only knows that his barbarian bloodline was partially awakened. He didn't know that his barbarian bloodline was fully awakened and it wasn't just an ordinary barbarian bloodline. It was a royal-grade barbarian which boasted to have the most powerful brute strength in the human race. It could even rival those demi that had top tier strength-type bloodlines like bullet ant.

Aside from that, there was one more thing that enhances his strength. He didn't know that he awakened another bloodline, the magical human, which had a high amount of mana and mana recovery.

With all of these, Bryan could even fight a top-tier powerhouse from the elves. The elves that boasted to have a higher mana manipulation ability.

But then, fighting an S-rank while in the realm of A-rank wasn't easy to do.

Boom!

The ground cracked as Bryan charged towards the S-rank elf. The flame spears behind him pointed at the elf and it attempted to pierce his body.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Both of them exchanged high speed blows. The whole area was shaking and aftershocks were bursting out every second. The low-level monster that approached them died easily.

"You're strong and you even managed to master the [Dual Element Drive] of lightning and flame but its paralyzed and burn effect won't work on me. After all, I'm an S-rank and you're just a strong A-rank."

The elf laughed lightly while blocking Bryan's relentless attacks. He looked like he was taking Bryan lightly but that's not the case. This elf was just using his words to anger Bryan so that his movements will become predictable.

Bryan gritted his teeth as he kept attacking the S-rank elf. The flame spears around him were moving as fast as possible to pierce the protective field of this elf.

Compared to teacher Bargan, this elf was nothing. Recalled Bargan's words about fighting someone at S-rank while having a power of an A-rank.

When Bargan was still an A-rank years ago, he used to defeat people who have had a higher level than him.

'I should concentrate my attack on one side...'

Bryan moved his body from side to side as he avoided all of the attacks that the elf threw at him.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

'What?! This man... is avoiding my attacks!! He's getting used to my fighting style!!' The elf was shocked as he opened his eyes widely while watching Bryan avoided all of his punches and kicks.

Argh!

He felt a slight pain on the left side of his stomach. Looking down, he saw three flame spears trying to pierce his protective field.

'This guy...'

Bryan appeared in front of him and grabbed his face.

"Break for me!"

Dozens of flame spears landed on the stomach of the S-rank elf.

He then used his other hand to hold the wrist of the elf and smashed him on the ground.

Bang!

"It's not enough!"

Bryan gritted his teeth as he stomped the hand of the elf to prevent him from gaining his footing. He then poured a large amount of mana on the lightning blade on his wrist.

Ohm!

He swung his hand and the lightning blade collided on the body of the S-rank elf.

Boom!

Waves of lightning and flames spread out creating a spherical field that destroyed everything within. The force of the attack devastated nearly every object in the surrounding area.

Bang!

Bryan's figure flew out of the explosion and crashed on the ground. His figure was full of blood and he was getting tired.

Huff... Huff...

His breath was heavy and his body was getting numb. Fighting someone above his level was hard.

It was at this moment that he noticed that the fighting around him has stopped. All the first and second evolution monsters were annihilated by the elites of the Bentley Family.

After all, a bunch of second evolution monsters wouldn't stand a chance against a group of A-rank experts. If those shackled realm experts join the battle then it would be over in an instant but those people were guarding the altar and they would only make a move if someone passed through the S-rank experts.

Swoosh!

The wind blew strongly and the thick smoke was dispersed. Bryan saw that the S-rank elf was standing there with blood flowing out of his mouth. It seems that his attack managed to injure this elf but he knew that it wasn't enough.

While he was thinking about how he should defeat this elf, an intense and heavy energy flooded the entire area.

Bryan narrowed his eyes as he looked around.

"This.... best feram?!"
