Fate Decides Life and Death, Heaven Decides Success and Failure
The Vampires were stunned.
Even Bernard, the Eastsea City Lord, a Master Tier Professional, is the same.
He looked intently at William, not believing he was lying.
But in his heart, he thought, even if you are the Dawn City Lord, so what?
If I kill you now, who will know it was me?
Even if they know I killed him, do you think the forces behind you would avenge a dead man?
Thinking about this...
Bernard made a bold move.
That's right.
He wanted to test William's capabilities. If William truly had a trump card, then he could let him seek revenge against the Bruce Family, but what if he didn't?
If I retreat without any reason, what will my subordinates think of me in the future?
Bernard, as a lord, earned his position through his own fists, rising from weakness to strength. What hadn't he experienced? Did he really think mere intimidation would make him back down?
Where then would the lord's prestige lie?
"What a joke! You're just a kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet. Do you really think that just because you've gotten lucky and done something famous across the continent, everyone will give way to you?"
A figure appeared in front of William in an instant.
Bang!
An invisible ripple spread outwards from William's center. Even Bernard, who had stepped into the Grandmaster, couldn't help but feel dizzy when faced with this soul attack!
William remained unfazed, and pressed his advantage by activating his Battle Aura Shield, while simultaneously unleashing his Power of Holy Soul and Dawn Impact.
William, whose attributes suddenly surged by 23%, was like Divine Descent to earth, leaving a clearly visible trench in the ground as he crashed head-on into Bernard.
However, the latter also regained consciousness at this moment, and instantly Transformation, its body growing rapidly until it became a ferocious beast more than two meters tall.
He bared his fangs and swung his two arms, long enough for a horse to run across, at the oncoming Thunder Light with a thunderous thud!
Boom!
A wave of energy spread in all directions.
William activated his Transformation Power and combined it with Dawn Impact, yet he only managed to push Bernard back one step. This tactic, which had been effective on the battlefield, was not working here.
The stone slabs beneath their feet shattered like a spider web, and their arms were tangled together, Vein bulging, as if a bull were wrestling with its paws.
"Is that all you've got?" The burly Bernard panted heavily, staring lecherously at William's neck, as if he wanted to take a bite.
William glanced at him. Bernard's strength was indeed abnormal. He hadn't developed wings yet, which meant he was only in the Low-Class of Transformation and far from reaching his strongest state.
But he still kicked forward suddenly. Bernard's expression changed, and he retreated instantly because the guy's groin kick was incredibly fast!
He almost fell victim to it himself.
After separating from him, William rested his right hand on the hilt of his sword, raised his eyebrows, and slowly said, "Do you want me to draw my sword?"
William knew he couldn't beat him; what they had just done was nothing more than child's play. Master Tier Melee Professional could be called Earthbreaker Warrior, which meant they would no longer be bound by the earth; the sky was their battlefield.
Flying is not nearly as bad as the High-Class; it is not only very agile but also very fast.
Earthbreaker Warrior possess a wide variety of ranged Battle Aura techniques, several times more than High-Class. Even non-ranged Skill have related range bonuses. As long as they are in the air, they can completely overwhelm High-Class.
Furthermore, the quality of the added Battle Aura has also changed drastically, making it virtually impossible for High-Class player to defeat Grandmaster.
Therefore, it would be extremely difficult for William to defeat Grandmaster now, let alone a Grandmaster Vampires with Epic Bloodline.
But none of that matters.
William possessed a little Divine Artifact.
Hegni's Sword!
This Cursed Sword has no rank restrictions; similarly, the attack power it increases far exceeds that of High-Class or Master Tier Legendary weapons.
More importantly, he can Sacrifice his life to continuously increase his attack power. Even if the person in front of him is Grandmaster, William has the ability to kill him!
When William grasped that black longsword, everyone present felt an aura of despair and curse!
The Dawn City Lord before them was also shrouded and consumed by the curse.
Bernard narrowed his eyes upon seeing this; he found it hard to believe that William possessed such an evil weapon!
As Vampires, he thought he wouldn't dare touch such an evil and cursed weapon, but he never expected that the Dawn City Lord in front of him, who seemed to be righteous and bright, might be a darker and more evil guy than himself!
"It's not impossible. After all, only Dawn City on the Legendary Continent defeated the Dark Invasion. He might just be a pawn of the Dark Forces." Bernard became increasingly alarmed as he thought about it, seemingly realizing that he had discovered something significant!
He saw William slightly draw his sword, and when the black longsword was halfway out of its sheath, the black sword light was already faintly visible, and the aura full of curses enveloped the entire Barrier.
"Holy crap, is this the Dawn City Lord or the City Lord Darkness City?"
"Look, his Thunder Shield is almost being shrouded in darkness," a Vampires whispered in the shadows, as if they had encountered a major villain.
William, with a wicked smile, slowly approached Bernard. He licked his lips and chuckled, "Come on, try it and see if you die when I draw my sword."
"Afraid? How could I be!" Even if Bernard was wary of William's weapon, he wouldn't call a halt now!
A Blood-Red Sword also appeared in his hand as William took another step forward.
Both drew their swords at the same time!
Black lightning and red sword light intertwined!
Bang!
Click!
A dazzling wave of Battle Aura instantly Pierce the entire area, and several Vampires who were nearby were directly knocked away by the wave, spitting out blood in mid-air.
Because the moment William drew his sword, he used one of his Ultimate Move, Light of Dawn!
That was the first sword strike!
William said in a soft voice.
Bernard remained unfazed, for the second sword strike was already upon him, and his Blood-Red Sword met the attack once more!
Boom!
The earth trembled, and the ground beneath their feet sank several meters.
The entire interior of the Barrier was flashing with Electric Arc and crimson Sword Qi.
This is William's second move, his Talent ' Wrath of Thunder ', which uses blood as a sacrifice to amplify his damage against creatures 10 levels higher than himself!
After exchanging a single blow, both of them took a deep breath.
Then.
Just as William was about to unleash his third sword strike, the one with his innate Skill ' Destructive Sword Aura '!
Bernard merely frowned slightly, but the other Vampires all retreated hastily, wishing they could run outside the Barrier.
But it was at this very moment.
Bernard suddenly smiled and waved his hand to signal William to stop drawing his sword. He said, "We are all Neutral Lord. We can talk things out. There's no need for this life-or-death struggle. It's really embarrassing!"
William watched him silently sheathe his red longsword, then burst into laughter as well. "It would be best if we could resolve this peacefully. After all, Dawn City isn't some small force that can be bullied. Lord Bernard should be able to see that, right?"
"Heh." Bernard sheathed his red longsword, but it was at that very moment!
Click!
A crisp sound!
Unnoticed by others, William had a slight smile on his lips.
Bernard had already returned the longsword to his Space Ring. He glanced at the malicious William and cursed inwardly, "This longsword that's been with me for so many years, you shattered it in two moves? Is your weapon Divine Artifact?"
The Eastsea City Lord glanced at William's black longsword with extreme apprehension. He didn't know what the price would be for using such a cursed weapon, but it would definitely be high. Although the weapon in front of him seemed extremely tempting, he had no desire to acquire it.
Because his fear of William would only increase, not decrease.
William's apparent intention to unleash three extremely powerful sword moves in succession was also to make the Eastsea City Lord think twice, and to make him realize that he was not so easy to bully.
At least.
Although he was of High-Class, he was not a small mouse that a Grandmaster could easily crush.
In addition, the ' Destructive Power ' of the Cursed Sword, possessing the divine ability to consume weapon durability and destroy weapons, is enough to make the Eastsea City Lord wary.
The Cursed Sword in his hand is not something an ordinary person can wield.
The numerous figures surrounded by the Barrier.
Which character doesn't have Luck Value of tens or even hundreds of points?
But what about myself?
Just 1 point!
He wasn't scared; he felt nothing for the curse, but others were different.
Even Lotner, who initially wanted to play with the Cursed Sword, ran far away after sensing its cursed aura, fearing he might be tainted by even a trace of bad luck.
not to mention.
Alec's absence was enough to deter Bernard from actually sending a killer.
Whether Dawn City has Grandmaster combat power is something you can easily figure out with a little thought—it definitely does!
Many factions believe that Dawn City must have super-class Professional protecting William.
William now has too many identities, enough to make many smaller factions wary.
No power below the level of a Kingdom would easily attempt to provoke the 'being' behind William unless they were certain they could secretly kill William.
then.
The two sat down to negotiate.
The final result is...
Diablo faces off against the patriarch of the Bruce Family.
Both are at the High-Class, but the former has just entered the High-Class while the latter is already close to the Grandmaster.
There is only one condition for the duel.
Life or death.
The dead, all their family members, all their wealth went to the victor.
This duel seemed extremely disadvantageous to the Bruce Family.
But no one objected!
Because in a life-or-death duel, the odds of winning for Diablo, who had just reached the High-Class, were extremely slim!
Even many Vampires think they've hit the jackpot!
This was a suicide duel.
And Diablo?
He casually wiped the spear in his hand, unmoved.
William has done what he promised him.
Now it's best if he takes revenge himself; that would be the best outcome.
And the spear.
Advance is the only option; retreat is not permitted.
Life and death are predestined.
Success or failure is in the hands of fate.
He has been alone since childhood and has never been afraid of death in his life!
