As the Divine Spear Gungnir suddenly pierced the Celestial King out of nowhere, Gustav smiled wickedly, as he ordered the spear to twist and turn around while being inside of the Celestial King, piercing and opening the wound on his chest even more!

"UNNNGGGHAAGGH…!"

The Celestial King groaned in agony as Gustav had no mercy for this bastard!

"Sorry, but I am not a fan of upfront fights!" laughed Gustav, as he extended his aura and continued to summon an army of Spiritual Beasts over the Celestial King, as the Celestial King roared in anger, his eyes turning completely red as he gritted his teeth and grasped Gungnir with his hand!

"RAAAAAGGRR!"

SLASH!

He used all his might to force Gungnir out of his deadly wound, as he released a wave of divine aura and destroyed several of the summoned spiritual beasts that Gustav sent at him!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Gungnir tried to assault the Celestial King once more, but he quickly conjured a powerful divine shield over his free hand, his second divine weapon, which he was not using because Gustav's attacks were barely scratching him beforehand!

However, this damn spear…

This damn spear!Unlike the Celestial King's spear, Gungnir had a mind of its own and constantly tried to impale him at every second, he had to employ half of his thought process into shielding himself against this deadly attack using his Divine Shield, which was releasing sparks of lightning each time the tip of Gungnir clashed against it!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!magic

"Damned spear! How strong is it?! I had completely forgotten he had one because he wasn't even using it… but right! This damn weapon can attack its own, I tried to break it with my fist, but it also seemed impossible… As this mortal created a weapon that can rival the Divine Weapons that Celestial Kings such as myself can materialize?!" wondered the Celestial King, he felt like he had underestimated Gustav's shrewdness!

"What's up? Feeling overwhelmed? Getting tired, old man?" asked Gustav, as he continued to conjure spiritual beasts armies, any of the beasts that died left out their residual essence, which Gustav absorbed back. At the same time, Gustav absorbed the Celestial King's immense quantity of fortune, while also absorbing his essence through his equipment traits.

It was a battle of attrition! Who could last longer? And it seems that Gustav had taken the upper hand in this battle!

Even more, as he glanced at the wound that the Celestial King held within his chest.

"Why is it not healing?!" wondered the Celestial King. All Celestials possessed amazing regeneration abilities, equal to even Vampires, even if their limbs were sliced, new ones would grow, even if their entire bodies were cut into pieces, whatever was left closer to the head would regrow again…

The only way to kill them was by aiming at their brain and blasting it into a pulp, even then, if you were to be careless and only damage their head a bit through some holes, even those holes directly into their brains would regrow back!

However, this was different, something weird was happening! Why didn't the Celestial King's wound healed yet?! What was happening?!

"How is it possible for my wound to not heal…?! Unngh…!"

The Celestial King vomited a mouthful of blood once more, the wound was terrible, it penetrated his spine and had pierced his esophagus and also his lungs, his heart was also damaged but barely managed to not be blasted.

But this had a reason!

"Heh… I bet he doesn't realize that my Gungnir had the powerful [Unhealing Accursed Wounds (SSS)] Trait! Giving it the ability to inflict cursed wounds that slow down natural regeneration drastically! He's still recovering his wound, but at an incredibly slow pace!" thought Gustav, as his smile grew even more malicious!

CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!

Meanwhile, Gungnir continued to assault the Celestial King, who defended himself with his Divine Shield, while using his Divine Spear to attack the army of spiritual beast summoned by Gustav!"Damn it…! He got me! I cannot charge in front because this spear is constantly assaulting me from behind, while I cannot attack with my spear because I have to use it to fend off the creatures he summons without end…! My wound is healing way too slowly for some kind of curse that his spear can inflict, if I continue like this, I will surely perish!" thought the Celestial King. He was no fool when it came to battle, he had already realized Gustav's plan, and it was working excellently! But in battle, there were always factors that one could never predict correctly, factors that could change the tide of war!

"I will have to use it then! Even if it eats away my lifespan!" laughed the Celestial King, as Gustav's eyes opened wide, suddenly, the Celestial King's aura exploded once more, as he felt that this wasn't just the essence of his body, but of his soul!

This was the power of the talented Celestial King's soul, the power that even surpassed his own body, which was so enormous that if he overused it, the energy of his very soul would consume his body and he would lose lifespan with every minute of using this!

Gustav noticed that the Celestial King's power began to skyrocket like crazy, it was as if he had released something that was actually containing his true power in fear of damaging his own body!

"HAAAAH!"

The Celestial King roared like a monstrous lion, as a shockwave of divine aura was unleashed all around him, the spiritual beasts were destroyed in an instant, as Gungnir was blown away into the faraway distance!

"Now let's see who lasts the most!" roared the Celestial King, flashing towards Gustav with everything he had!

Gustav gritted his teeth as he prepared for the impact, generating his shield, and then coating it in several layers of his aura, which he shaped as sharp and piercing spears from his Spear Aura!

CLAAAAASH!

The Celestial King and Gustav clashed once more! Who would reign at the end?!
