If Beginning could not defeat the Emperor while possessing a clear advantage in power, then there was even less chance of overwhelming him now that both stood at nearly the same level.
That was the cruel reality of combat. Strength mattered. Experience mattered too. And in that regard, the Emperor possessed decades of advantage.
BOOOOM!!!
The Sea of Darkness exploded once more. Beginning's gigantic fist smashed toward the Emperor's head. The draconic serpent twisted its body with impossible flexibility. The attack brushed past his scales before he counterattacked instantly. His claw swept across Beginning's ribs.
BOOOOM!!!
A massive section of the giant's side exploded apart. Before Beginning could recover, the Emperor's tail struck.
BOOOOM!!!
The titan was blasted backward through the darkness. The Emperor pursued relentlessly.
