Chapter 39: The Holy Crane Mode Activated
James and Mindrax are set to have their battle as they started to clash evenly. James was amazed by Mindrax's strength, which rivaled Draven and Zexerav combined.
"You really did become this strong, James," Mindrax said. "I think I'll have a tough time beating you."
"I also admire your power, Mindrax," James replied. "But I'm going all out to defeat you."
"Don't be too confident of beating me, James," Mindrax said. "I'm not like Draven and Zexerav."
James powered up the Sacred Phoenix Dragon Mode, unleashing a Blazing Phoenix Dive Magic that plummeted Mindrax. She stood up, wiping blood from her mouth, and launched a swift counterattack. James blocked her Flash Rapid Punches and Kicks, but Mindrax's speed and agility proved relentless. She delivered a Spectrum Beam, the fastest beam in the universe, which James barely withstood thanks to his Sacred Phoenix Aura and Purple Dragon Aura.
Mindrax was surprised when James dodged her second beam, using Solar Sense Magic to predict her attack. "Interesting, did I make a mistake?" she wondered. "You're a great warrior, James. You're the only mortal I know who can beat Titans."
James's determination solidified. "You're indeed stronger than Draven, Mindrax. Your attacks are very difficult to predict." Then, all of a sudden, blood dripped down from the side of James's head. Mindrax smiled, saying, "Next time, I'll be on target, so prepare yourself."
They continued their battle without realizing the trouble they were going to face. James had gone all out with the Super Dragon Mode combined with the Sacred Phoenix Dragon Mode, and all of his spells became maxed out, 100 times stronger. In just a blink of an eye, he swiftly rushed to Mindrax and executed the Phoenix-Dragon Solar Burn Max Out. Mindrax got hurt and mildly injured from the burn but was able to stop it when she turned into her ultimate form, the Holy Crane Mode.
"Aaaaahhh!!! Yaaaaaaahh!!!" Mindrax yelled in pain as she released her true form. "Finally, it stopped, phew! I thought I would become a toasted Titan for a minute, gladly, I could still use this mode in battle."
"Now, we are going to have a real battle, Mindrax!" James said and charged all of a sudden to Mindrax. When he was charging towards her, three light super golems dropped to block his path.
"Are these golems yours?" James asked.
"Yes, it is, James," Mindrax replied, activating a light barrier spell. "You need to beat those golems in order to get your hands on me. Hehe. I just want to warn you, those golems are stronger than Zexerav each, and with all three of them combined, they are stronger than Draven. Hehe. Let's see if you can take them out."
The super golems executed three Light Hyper Beams, similar to the Spectrum Beam of Mindrax but much faster and stronger. James was struck by the beams and suffered tremendous damage.
"Aaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!!!" James yelled in pain.
Draven suggested a strategy: use Heat's Limit Break and Solar Sense Magic Limit Break to dodge the beams and destroy the golems one by one. James followed the plan, transforming into Limit Break Mode combined with the Sacred Phoenix-Dragon Mode.
"Just calm down!" Draven said to Zexerav. "He can do it! I know he will."
James moved extremely fast with the help of Zexerav and Draven's power boost and delivered the Super Solar Punch Limit Break to one of the super golems. It was dismantled into pieces. The other golem used the speed of light to swiftly rush into James, but he was able to prevent the attack because he casted the Super Solar Sense Magic Limit Break Again. The other golem collected enough energy again to execute the third Light Hyper Beam. James wasn't ready to use the Super Solar Sense Magic, and he got hit by the beam, but it didn't do any harm because it is only one. He charged to the second golem and executed the Super Solar Rush Punch Magic Limit Break, destroying the golem that just casted the Light Hyper Beam. Eight minutes had already passed, and he only had two more minutes to maximize his Limit Break. The golem charged again using the Speed of Light spell, and James drew the attack of the golem using the Blazing Phoenix Charge Limit Break to annihilate the last golem.
He successfully defeated the three super Light golems of Mindrax. The Light Barrier Spell disappeared after the three golems got destroyed. James returned to his Super Dragon Mode while maintaining the Sacred Here is the continuation:
...Dragon Mode while maintaining the Sacred Phoenix-Dragon Mode.
"Spectacular job destroying those super golems, James!" Mindrax said. "Now, I will give my last power to confirm if you are truly deserving of my power!"
"Give your best shot, Mindrax!" James challenged.
Mindrax started to charge her Ultimate Flash Beam. "This is it, James. If you can withstand this beam, I'll admit that you are worthy of my power."
James stood firm, ready to face the beam. "Bring it on, Mindrax!"
Just as Mindrax was about to release the beam, Xerath suddenly appeared and knocked her unconscious with a single chop.
"I'm sorry, Mindrax," Xerath said. "But I need to finish this mortal. I'm the Top 9 Titan, Xerath."
James's eyes narrowed. "Who are you, and why did you interfere?"
Xerath's expression was cold. "It's none of your business, mortal. This game ends now."
James's determination solidified. "I'm not going to let you win that easily. Let's end this!"
