Kill!
Half an hour later.
Augustine returned stained with blood, and of the Dark Creatures in the entire valley, only a mangled limb remained.
Only the 'villagers' had their bodies preserved intact.
He slowly walked back to the entrance of the valley, took a deep breath, removed his blindfold, looked at William who was still waiting for him, and pointed his sword forward with both hands. "Come, let me see how fast you've grown."
William glanced at Augustine, whose Battle Aura was not yet fully restored, placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword, and said in a deep voice, "Now?"
"Why all this nonsense?"
"Slash!" Augustine appeared before William like a blazing sun, his heat making it hard to breathe.
The latter drew his sword with his right hand and raised it upwards. The narrow blue Sword Qi split the flame in two, and the two figures collided with a loud crash.
Bang!
Two waves of air, each a different color, shot out in all directions, causing the entire valley to tremble. Vines and leaves were blown away by the waves, and pebbles fell incessantly.
The next moment.
Light Sword.
Lightning and flames.
Only two figures could be seen intertwining amidst the Battle Aura, with explosions constantly ringing out.
William was powerless to use any extra tricks against Augustine, and couldn't even draw his Short Sword. The two fought fiercely, exchanging dozens of blows in a short time, and the armor on William's body was already showing scorched cracks.
Bang!
Augustine threw a punch, which the latter dodged to the side. The fiery fist continued its relentless advance, smashing a huge hole in the mountainside, the tremors of which were felt continuously.
The next second.
William retaliated by headbutting him, slamming his head into his face and sending him staggering back several meters with his head tilted back. William followed closely behind and beheaded him with a single sword stroke.
Click.
Augustine blocked with his arm, the blue sword light penetrating to the bone, but he also slashed diagonally, his originally fiery red Battle Aura turning into a bright daylight, slicing through William's shield as easily as cutting tofu, and cutting into his armor as well. The figure crashed into the cave like a cannonball.
There is no chance to catch your breath in this kind of battle.
Augustine watched as William was smashed into the cave, showing no mercy. He unleashed several Flame Blade Qi strikes, determined to kill him inside the cave.
But as a figure appeared, nine bolts of Thunder sword light appeared in mid-air in succession.
The energies of swords clashed, creating churning waves that caused the earth to sink repeatedly.
Both of them, completely disregarding the shockwave, charged straight into it, brandishing their swords!
Bang!
The two of them simply took a step back.
But the mountain behind them suddenly exploded, leaving a deep, dark mark.
Another strike!
Augustine gripped the knife with both hands, while William held the sword with one hand. The moment the metal clashed, the latter was forced to his knees by the immense force, and the Blade Light slashed a line of blood across his neck.
But William's left-handed sword also pierced the former's stomach.
The two separated again.
Augustine's body suddenly burst into flames, and the Pierce wound instantly turned to mush, no longer bleeding. However, a hint of green appeared at the wound site.
"Get out!" Augustine roared, and Flame Giant burst forth from his body, slamming a fist into his chest.
William's body was instantly engulfed in flames, and his retreat was unstoppable.
In the instant he stopped, his feet were firmly planted on the ground for a full meter, his body tilting to the left and right, about to fall but not quite. A streak of light flashed past where he had been standing, then exploded in front of Augustine with a thunderous roar.
His Prince threw out a poisoned Short Sword; he became the bow, and the sword the arrow.
Even without his bow and arrows, he still threw them with equal accuracy and devastating power.
At the same time, as Augustine dodged the 'flying sword,' he leaped up and charged at it, unleashing a powerful slash.
The Sword Qi roared as it arrived.
Augustine withstood the Sword Qi and clenched his fist, aiming it at William!
Boom!
A pillar of fire shot up from the ground.
Both were forced back dozens of meters again.
William's body was charred black, and his newly grown long hair had turned bald again.
Augustine was also in bad shape; amidst the flashing Thunder Light, he convulsed uncontrollably, like a dementia patient suffering from partial paralysis...
But the two still had energy to spare.
then.
The two men lunged forward and struck again!
Click!
The Epic-Class sword couldn't withstand such a powerful impact and broke completely in two, grazing the two men's faces before embedding itself in the mountainside, dripping with blood.
Augustine was faster; before he could react, he threw his knife and punched.
William quickly raised his arm and blocked his forehead with his elbow. The next moment, he was smashed into the mountainside.
He didn't hit the wall with his back; instead, he changed his posture during the impact, landing on his feet and bending them quickly upon contact with the mountain to dissipate the force.
At the same time, his legs suddenly straightened, propelling him toward Augustine at an even greater speed.
William was then thrown back by the latter, this time sinking completely into the mountainside.
The valley, which was not very large to begin with, was not made of solid rock, and with repeated contact between the two, it began to feel like it was about to collapse.
But neither of them has stopped.
The weapon was broken, but the armor remained.
The armor shattered.
And their bodies.
Two supreme beings with Legendary Bloodline clashed endlessly in the valley like two behemoths.
until.
William's HP dropped below 10%, but he recovered 60% of his HP using his Inner Armor...
Augustine continued to fight despite being on the verge of death.
until.
William punched Augustine to the ground.
He smashed his head with punch after punch!
The blow left Augustine barely alive, his face a mass of white bones, only his bloodshot eyes able to look at him as he trembled and said, "Kill... kill me, but don't let my corpse lie in the Demon Cavern."
Then he bent his head with difficulty, only to see a patch of black mud. "And..."
"I know." William looked at him quietly, without saying anything more.
Augustine smiled.
He slowly closed his eyes, no longer resisting.
A punch lands!
Ding-dong.

"No."
After reading this word.
William sat exhausted on the ground, his bones feeling like they were about to break. He really didn't want to move. He looked at Augustine's corpse and the valley that was about to collapse, and wondered what he was thinking.
Then.
He slowly stood up, put Augustine's body into his Space Ring, and sent a message to the others, instructing them to drag the villagers' corpses out of the valley.
Goethe Narcissus clenched his fists. He was linked to Augustine by Soul Chain; they would know when either of them died and would even witness his final moments...
He was on the verge of exploding.
only.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice to the door, "Notify the entire country to select the most Talent Fire Element youth and bring him before me."
"Yes, sir." A Royal Palace guard received the order and immediately went to carry it out.
Goethe Nassis, the current King's chief cabinet minister, is second only to the king and even has the privilege of living in the Royal Palace.
He slowly raised his hand, revealing a deep blue bead that continuously emitted a mysterious orchid-like Mana, with a silken thread connecting it to a place a hundred miles away!
That was Magic extremely similar to William's...
Soul Magic.
