NOVEL WEB Chapter 1431: Clash Between Heroes

"{Shining Heaven}!"
Dylan raised his blade, activating his first skill, as his sword swung upwards, and dozens of beams of light descended towards me one after another.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Each explosive blow was powerful, carrying a hint of divine power, spirit energy, and also some of his own soul power.
He was impressive.
However…
"Huh?!"
Dylan's eyes widened, as he noticed I had survived, unscathed. I was holding a silver scale shield with my left arm; this shield formed a barrier of silver and gray color made of these same-colored scales.
"W-What sort of shield is that?!" Dylan asked. "It was able to tank my powerful attacks? I can even destroy entire demon legions with that!"
"A shield made from the scales of the divine white dragon," I said.
Specifically, the Shield I obtained from a Quest after defeating Bestellen.
The [White Dragon Bestellen's Divine Silver Scale Shield: Lv10].

[Divine White Dragon's Celestial Scale Protection]: A Shield made through the refinement of Bestellen's Essence and Scales, by merely wielding it, the user is protected from all harm. When using the shield, an {Aura of Silver Divinity} protects the user and any ally within a 100-meter radius of the wielder.

By spending Mana, those Blessed by this Protection can create Barriers with it, whose Durability is based on 30% of the shield's own Durability. When a foe hits these barriers, they receive a {Silver Thunder Shock} that inflicts back 20% of the damage they inflicted on the shield, ignoring all defenses.
[Bestellen's Divinity Reflection]: After the Shield takes enough Damage, it is possible to unleash it all back against your foes, dealing 500% Damage based on all accumulated Damage on the shield against any foe, which unleashed an explosive Beam of Silver Divine Flames, capable of ignoring 90% of the foe's defenses upon impact. Once the foe or foes have been affected, they are instantly bound by the {Silver Divine Chains of Bestellen} which Paralyses them and Decreases All Stats by -30% for 5 Minutes.

"His name was Bestellen, I think you know him right? I've heard you once tried to slay him, but you were too young and unexperienced yet, so he beat you down and you never returned for round 2."
"T-The White Dragon?! You… you beat him?!" Dylan asked. "That's… Hah… I did heard some rumors, I can't believe that's actually the truth."
"Impressed?" I wondered. "If you were weaker than him and I beat him, does that mean I'm already stronger than you?"
"Don't be too cocky! This is just starting!" He roared, charging against me.
His swords glowed brightly, as he swung them up and down, to the left and right.
"{Shining Cutter}!"
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
A rain of slicing waves of holy light engulfed my barrier, rapidly breaking through it and shattering the barrier generated by the shield into pieces.
Crack, crack…!
CRASH!
However, as the barrier shattered, a powerful shockwave of silver and white flames and silver lightning erupted, hurting Dylan and sending him flying away.
This was the effect of the {Silver Thunder Shock} Ability within the shield, releasing all damage it took back to the attacker, and this blow should have surely hurt him.
"Haaa…! Haaa…!"
He quickly stood up, although he looked like he was going through some pain by now. I stepped forward, deciding to get more into the offensive rather than wait for him to get closer.
I swung my spear forward, as I manifested two Spirit Cosmic Dragon Claws to block his escape routes. His eyes widened, as he forcefully unleashed his dual holy blade arts against my near point-blank divine god spear arts.
"{Divine Spear God Arts}: [One Hundred Lightning Blows]"
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"{Dual Holy Blade Arts}: [Celestial Assault]!"
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Holy light slashes clashed against explosively thunderous strikes, darkness, blood energy, demonic energy, chaos, light, and spiritual energies erupted, shaking the ground and shattering the paved floor until it didn't even remain anymore.
BOOOMMM!!!
A huge explosion was unleashed through the intense, and immense accumulation of our powers clashing against each other, almost blowing up half of the arena in the process, if it wasn't for the barrier that Elizabeth set up previously, which held back quite easily, boosted with her Divine Powers and the Holy Spirits blessings.
"Heh, looks like you've truly become stronger, Blake…" Dylan smiled, looking at me with an impressed expression. "You're pretty amazing."
"Likewise, you're incredibly yourself too," I nodded. "But don't tell me you got tired already, Dylan."
"Of course not!"
The Hero charged towards me, using his powerful Spiritual Wings to reach me in a second, hitting me with all his force and pushing me down into the ground once more.
BAAAM!
As I hit the ground, he descended with both swords, combining magic with swordsmanship, alongside the shining power of the Hero Talent.
"{Celestial Descent}!!!"
His entire body was suddenly encompassed by golden flames as he descended towards me with all of his power, the impact would definitely be fatal, so I braced myself, the Spirit Cosmic Dragon Claws appearing by my side and holding my power, shaping it into… two blades made of blood and darkness.
