Hail the King

“Hahaha, I have been waiting for too long……” A frenzied expression appeared on Lkunta’s face as he shouted. The blue leather armor on him was torn to pieces by his warrior energy, and his muscular upper-body was exposed.

Fei saw a tattoo of a vicious-looking beast on Lkunta’s body, and he suddenly remembered the rumors about the cultivation paths of Moon-Class Elites.

“Krasic, I will kill you, the spiritual pillar of Zenit, today on this mountain! As long as you are killed, that weak and so-called [Zenit’s God of War] will be wiped out easily as well. Spartax Empire will move all the troops into Zenit and conquer this little empire easily! After we kill everyone at St. Petersburg, I will make sure to turn that biggest rebel Yassin’s head skull into a wine cup as a memorial to the previous emperors of our Spartax!”

As Lkunta’s expression got more and more ferocious, the red energy flame around his body got brighter and brighter; it felt like fire was shooting out of his pores. Soon, he became a “fire man”.

All the people in the viewing area felt the heat, and even the grasses under their feet were being dried up. Some weaker warriors’ hairs got burned, and the color of their clothes was turning to a burned yellow. It felt like there was another sun very close to them.

Everyone used their warrior energy and tried to defend against this insane heat.

Ziene released an energy sphere around her and Tanasha, and the Second Prince Dominguez and Paris were protected by the guards around them. No.1 Swordsman of Jax Empire, Huntelaar, held onto his sword, and a silver energy glare shot out of it; it protected himself and the four guards around him. No.1 General of Eindhoven Empire, Costakarta, and the four people behind him didn’t move; it felt like they couldn’t even feel the heat. The Crown Prince of St. Germain Empire, Girano, was the most casual. He placed a blue magic wand on the ground in front of him, and a cool magic sphere appeared and shielded him and his four maids.

On the pinnacle of the central sword peak.

Krasic still looked emotionless when his opponent unleashed such power. Krasic’s hair fluttered in the wind, and his calmness mixed with the mountain-like aura on him had a very undescribed magic!

His hands were on behind him, but a dragon-roar-like noise started to sound within his body. Then, a huge sword that looked ancient and was 2 meters long appeared behind him. As if it had its own life, it floated behind Krasic and lightly buzzed; it felt like this sword was spoil child that was crying for attention.

Fei’s eyes lighted up as he saw that.

He was able to tell that the sword behind Krasic wasn’t made from warrior energy; it was, in fact, a real sword made from metal. However, this huge sword appeared out of Krasic’s body! When it slowly pulled itself out of Krasic’s body, Krasic’s body looked like a scabbard. It was very strange!

Wait! This sword was actually a [Combat Weapon]!

Everyone realized what this sword was; only the legendary [Combat Weapons] could be kept within warriors’ bodies to level up.

When a warrior advanced into the realm of Moon-Class, there were a lot more paths of cultivation that he or she could choose.

There were three main paths.

First, there was hard training. Most warriors who choose to hard train were grassroots warriors who didn’t have many resources and weren’t backed up by powerful forces. Since these warriors typically didn’t want to become the retinues of big forces, they weren’t able to get access to Combat Weapons and Demon Beasts; they could only try to cultivate using their own bodies and try to maximize their potentials.

Second, there were Combat Weapons. Combat Weapon Warriors tried to utilize the connection between warriors and Combat Weapons, and they could deal damage that was multiples times more than their own bodies. When these warriors reached the perfect level of compatibility with their Combat Weapons, they could potentially even advance and become Sun-Class Lords!

Lastly, there were Demon Beasts. By signing a Soul Contract with a powerful Demon Beast, these Beast Soul Warriors were able to utilize strengths that were multiples times of their own. Sometimes, these warriors were able to share the growth potential and the bloodline of these Demon Beasts, and they could acquire supernatural powers that didn’t belong to humans. Of course, the level of strength and potential depended on how powerful the Demon Beasts were.

On Azeroth Continent, most people who were from royal families and large forces like the Beast Soul Warrior path a lot more. This was a shortcut, and it could even save them up to a dozen years of hard work. As long as their families spent the resources and captured powerful Demon Beasts, there were ways of forcing these Demon Beasts to agree to the Soul Contracts. With the instant gain of strength and power, an ordinary person could even become a master!

……

“Howl!!!!!!!”

A loud and terrifying roar sounded, and some of the rocks and plants on the central sword peak fell off the cliff as the peak itself shook violently. Red fire magic elements surged in the air as a bear-like Demon Beast that was more than 10 meters tall appeared behind Lkunta; it looked like an ancient fire demon from afar!

“Flame Destruction Bear!!” Someone shouted.

“So this Martial Saint of Spartax is a Beast Soul Warrior?” Although he already guessed that, Fei was still surprised when he found out. [Flame Destruction Bear] was a bear-form Demon Beast, but it was special. Most of the bear-form Demon Beasts were earth elemental and specialized in physical strength, but [Flame Destruction Bears] were fire-elemental and had magic powers. Most of [Flame Destruction Bears] were born as High-level Demon Beasts, and the one that appeared on the peak looked like it was a level 10 Demon Beast.

Level 10 Demon Beast; that was equivalent to a Moon-Class Elite.

With the addition of bloodline, longer lifespan, tougher physical body, and naturally high sensitivity to magic elements, this bear alone was tougher to deal with compared to a low-tier Moon-Class Elite.

This Martial Saint Battle turned out to be a battle between a Beast Soul Warrior and a Combat Weapon Warrior.

“Buzz!!!!!!!”

The crisp cry of the sword resonated in the sky.

“Roar!!!!!!!”

The wild and dominating shouts of the bear also sounded in the area.

“Hahaha, Krasic! The resentment from 26 years ago, the collapse of Zenit now…… let’s resolve all of that in this battle! I will take back what belonged to me, and you have to die today!!”

Lkunta laughed loudly, and he looked a little bit insane. As he shouted, [Fire Destruction Bear] roared and charged at Krasic like a burning meteor. Although the bear looked slow as it was 10 meters tall, it was actually very agile.

“Ha!”

After a cold shout, Krasic took a step back and formed a hand sign. The ancient sword behind him moved. Like a peacock that showed its feathers, the sword turned into 100 swords, and these swords formed an indestructible wall.

Boom!

The Demon Beasts shouted as its mountain-like body smashed onto the wall of swords, and that “fire meteor” looked a little bit shaky. The bear was knocked back by the repulsive force, but that wall of swords that was only four meters tall didn’t even shake.

“Attack!”

Krasic formed another hand sigh, and the sword moved again.

Krasic was the Martial Saint after all, and he was able to grasp opportunities perfectly. After a loud cry and metal-colliding noise, that wall of swords reformed into a huge sword as it dashed forward after a short moment of pause.

Boom!

The sword was as fast as lighting! It ditched the bear that was falling backward and targeted Lkunta instead.

A splash of blood appeared in the sky.

Although Lkunta was moving in the air using a strange technique and his body was disappearing from time to time, he wasn’t able to dodge this fast sword. When he finally stabilized his body, there were four deep wounds that revealed his bones on his shoulder, abdomen, arm, and neck.

Blood spurted out of the wounds, and Lkunta was turned into a “blood man”.

When the blood landed on the ground, steam came off of it; it seemed like Lkunta’s blood was insanely hot as well.

“You injured me? Haha, great! I finally felt pain after 26 years! I was waiting for this……”

Lkunta looked crazier after he was injured. Clouds of fire appeared on his wounds, and strands of green warrior energy were pushed out of the wounds; these were the warrior energies Krasic left in Lkunta’s body. After the fire burned off, all the wounds on Lkunta’s body healed up without a trace.

“Ah, too bad your sword can’t kill me instantly. If you can’t do that, I can heal up numerous times. But as for you, you can’t heal up this fast. Even if you are a demon, you will die here today! Ahahaha, after I lost to you 26 years ago, I risked my life and barely got this level 10 [Fire Destruction Bear]. I can finally see the results of my hard work today!”

Although Lkunta was injured and lost a lot of blood, he looked even more powerful after he recovered.

Everyone in the viewing area was shocked.

This was one of the terrifying abilities of Beast Soul Warriors. [Fire Destruction Bear]’s special fire-healing technique, recovery speed, and vitality were all shared with Lkunta, and Lkunta was almost invincible!

For most regular Moon-Class Elites, the injuries Lkunta just got would instantly decrease their strength. But for Lkunta, it was not a problem at all.

“You talk too much!” Krasic grabbed onto his sword with an under-grip and said calmly, “This sword is named Heavenly Sword. Didn’t you want the technique Heavenly Sword Three Strikes for the last 26 years? Watch closely then! First strike, [Condemn From Heaven]!!”
