Half an hour passed.
Augustine returned with a body stained with blood. All the dark creatures in the valley had been cut into pieces.
Only the corpses of the tribesmen remained intact.
He walked slowly to the cave entrance and inhaled deeply before removing the cloth that covered his eyes. He looked at the waiting William and raised his blade. “Come, show me how much you’ve progressed.”
William glanced at Augustine, who was still recovering his battle energy. He placed his right hand on the sword hilt and asked in a deep voice, “Now?”
“Cut the crap.”
“Kill!” Augustine was like the scalding sun as he appeared before William. The heat made it difficult to breathe.
William unsheathed his sword. Blue narrow sword energy cut the flames into half as two figures collided.
Bang.
The Collison gave rise to two distinctly colored air turbulence. The small valley shook. The vines’ leaves swirled in the turbulence while the pebbles fell incessantly.
The next moment,
Numerous flashes of sword energy appeared.
It was followed by lightning and ferocious flames.
Two figures could be seen fighting in a mix of battle energies. Explosions continued to ring around them.
William was unable to execute his moves against Augustine. He could not even unsheathe his short sword. Both of them were entangled in a death dance, and in just a short period of time, they had exchanged more than ten blows. There were trails of burn marks on their armor.
Bang.
Augustine gave a heavy punch, but William dodged. The flaming punch created a devastating hole in the hill and shook the ground.
In the next second,
William butted his head on Augustine’s face and forced his nemesis to reel tens of meters back. William followed closely and slashed at Augustine’s neck.
Crack.
Augustine parried with his arm, and the blue sword energy cut into his bones. At the same time, Augustine thrust his sword diagonally and released the flaming battle energy. It sliced through William’s battle energy shield like a knife going through the bean curd. William’s armor was cut, and he was sent crashing into the cave like a cannon shot.
There was no pause.
Augustine did not hesitate. He slashed many times and created multiple fire sword energies in a bid to kill William in the cave.
But a figure appeared in the sky and emitted nine rays of thunder sword energies.
The sword energies collided and created huge air turbulences. The earth sank consecutively.
Both of them were oblivious to the turbulence their battle created. They charged and swung their blades!
Bang!
Both retreated a step back.
But the hill behind them exploded. Only deep ravines were seen at the locations of the hills.
They slashed at each other!
Augustine wielded his blade with both hands while William had grasped his sword with his right hand. When the blades collided, the immense pressure forced William to half kneel on the ground. The sword energy left a trail of blood on his neck.
William’s left hand stabbed the short sword into Augustine’s abdomen.
Then they separated.
The flames on Augustine’s body surged, and his abdomen wound melted. His flesh had fused together. There was no more bleeding, but a green scar remained.
“Get lost!” Augustine screamed as a huge fire giant appeared from his body and punched heavily on William’s chest.
William was engulfed by the fire while he tried to reel back.
When he finally stopped reeling, his feet had sunk half a meter into the ground. His body had slanted at an angle, and he was about falling. A flash originated at William’s location, and a thunderous explosion erupted before Augustine.
William let loose his poisonous shortsword. He armed his shortsword like an arrow while using his body like a bow.
Even though he had lost his bow, his throw was extremely accurate. It had the same destructive power as an arrow from the bow.
Augustine evaded the flying shortsword. He climbed up and appeared before William, sweeping his blade at him.
Both their sword energies clashed loudly.
Augustine braced himself against the sword energy of William while he punched at him.
Crash!
A pillar of inferno shot up from the ground.
Both of them reeled back tens of meters once again.
William’s body was badly charred, and his long hair vanished. But it had not made him bald.
Augustine was in no better state. Lightning ran through his body while he convulsed incessantly. He looked like he was an elderly man with dementia…
But they still had the energy to fight.
Therefore,
They slashed again at each other!
Crack!
The epic blade and sword could not withstand the immense pressure and broke into halves. The blade pieces scrapped their faces and drew blood as they lodged into the hillside.
Augustine was slightly faster. He threw away the blade hilt and punched at William.
William lifted his arm to block his forehead. But in the next moment, he was sent crashing towards the hillside.
But his back did not collide into the hill. While flying in the air, he had changed his pose so that he could land with both his feet. When his feet touched the hillside, it was like they were springs.
He had bounced back like a bullet towards Augustine.
But he was smacked back. This time, William crashed deep into the hill.
The hills in this valley were not very strong. After the rigorous fighting, the valley was about to collapse at any moment.
But they were not done yet.
Though the blades were shattered, they had their armor.
After their armor was destroyed to shreds,
They had their bodies.
Both of them had legendary bloodlines. They fought like wild beasts as they went for each other’s throat.
Until.
William’s health points fell below 10%, but his inner armor boosted his health to 60%…
Augustine braced himself for the tough fight while his health points stagnated.
But then,
William punched Augustine to the ground.
He took advantage of it and continuously punched Augustine until his head had been completely smashed.
Augustine’s facial bones had come into view, and he was at his last breath. With his bloodshot eyes, he looked at William and said in a quivering voice, “Kill… kill me. Don’t let my corpse stay in the Devil’s Den.”
Then he struggled to turn his head, but he could only see the dark soil. He mumbled, “And…”
“I understand.” William looked silently at Augustine.
Augustine laughed.
Then he closed his eyes and gave up resisting.
The final punch landed on Augustine’s face!
Ding dong.
[You killed the level 66 legendary BOSS Augustine single-handedly]
[The death of Augustine had been made known to Goethe Nasis]
[Iron Nation’s affinity towards you has dropped by 5000. Your current affinity points are -13,000]
[Goethe Nasis had 15,000 hate points towards you. His affinity for you is -21,000]
[You have obtained 345,660 experience points]
[You have obtained a single random reward. Do you want to redeem it?]
“No.”
William mumbled.
He sat on the ground, fully exhausted. He felt as though his bones were going to shatter so he did not wish to move. William looked at Augustine’s corpse and the valley that was about to collapse. He did not know what to do.
Subsequently.
He stood up and placed Augustine’s corpse into the space ring. Then he sent out a message to inform the rest to carry out the corpses of the tribesmen from the valley.
Goethe Nasis clenched his fists. He was soulbound to Augustine so he knew about his death. He had also peered through Augustine’s eyes before he died…
He was on the verge of bursting out in rage.
But.
He inhaled deeply and said in a deep voice to the people outside, “Inform the entire nation and choose the youths with the best fire elemental endowment. Bring them to me.”
“Yes, my Lord.” A palace guard received the order and left to inform the rest.
Goethe Nasis was the prime minister. He was so powerful that he was able to live in the palace.
He lifted his hand. A deep blue pearl was emitting ethereal magic. There was a magical link that was connected to thousands of kilometers outside!
It was a magic that was similar to William’s magic…
Soul magic!
