Chapter 1195: Killing the True Might (Part 2)

The sea lay 1,500 kilometers to the east. The coast had already been sealed in ice. Saleen flew at a steady pace. The True Might saw that the person who had killed his son was able to fly a magical tower and immediately deduced Saleen’s identity.

“Damn it. It was actually Metatrin’s king!”

The True Might discovered the flying magical tower, and there was only one flying tower on the continent. Perhaps other people could create flying equipment, but they would not be able to move people’s hearts as much as the Magical Element Tower.

He had heard rumors about Saleen. Even in the northern wilderness, Saleen’s name was unmistakable. Ever since Metatrin Kingdom had been established, the power of the Holy See was no longer as pervasive in the northern wilderness. The barbarians who had escaped into the wilderness had slowly begun to leave. They had returned into Metatrin Kingdom’s borders and led a decent life.

Many professionals were bitterly cultivating in the northern wilderness. The produce was not lacking, and it was sparsely populated. It was more suited for professionals who disliked loud and bustling places. Saleen had identified the presence of magical towers in the mountainous area before. Thus, although Saleen had not conducted a deep investigation of the northern wilderness, he also knew that the forces there were definitely not small.

However, it was ultimately a wasteland. The presence of forces was a result of dividing up territories.

Saleen was worried if the True Might chose not to act, just like him. If so, that would be very troublesome. Thus, he did not fly quickly, allowing the True Might to choose between following him or giving up.

The True Might hesitated for a moment. He saw that Saleen’s Magical Element Tower was about to fly out of his line of sight. Only then did he fly up from the mountaintop and follow behind the Magical Element Tower.

He could not possibly give up on the anger caused by the death of his son.

No matter how great Saleen’s reputation was, he was just a king. The information in the northern wilderness was not up to date and the things that Saleen had recently done had not spread there yet.

Saleen saw the middle-aged man had caught up to him, so he allowed the Magical Element Tower to speed up. In the hands of the water puppet, the Magical Element Tower could go more than 100 kilometers per hour. Saleen did not let the water puppet to recklessly insert any elemental creatures into the magic power furnace, only permitting normal flight.

The Magical Element Tower sped up. The True Might perceived it as Saleen being afraid of him and increased his speed. Saleen smiled coldly. He was really seeking death. Since that was the case…

Saleen released the Thunder Dragon Blaster, prepared to attack at any time.

The distance between the two grew smaller and smaller. Saleen saw that there was a small lake and allowed the water puppet to lower the Magical Element Tower. The lake had already frozen over, so the Magical Element Tower’s rough descent broke a hole through the surface of the ice with a loud bang. The Magical Element Tower sank down into the water.

The True Might caught up to them, and his brows furrowed at the scene. He lunged after them, heading directly to the gigantic hole on the lake’s surface.

His eyes were covered with a layer of gold aura and saw a person dressed in a splendid robe had already stepped out of the Magical Element Tower. They were currently facing him and had their left hand raised.

There was a piece of equipment that looked like a serpent on the mage’s left arm. He did not recognize the lightning dragon, treating it as a serpent that had grown legs.

The Thunder Dragon Blaster did not have any parts that looked terrifying. The equipment was an imitation of Hogina’s gun, which was also so complex that it did not look particularly menacing. Even mages who saw its blueprints would have to calculate the extent that they would feel dizzy.

Saleen raised the Thunder Dragon Blaster. Seeing that the True Might had jumped into the freezing cold lake water, Saleen did not know what would be appropriate to say. To face a warrior in such an environment, even if he was not a body of water element, was still taking advantage of the circumstances.

If this person was not being conceited, then he was being too stupid.

A lightning icicle appeared in front of the level 10 True Might without any preamble. In the water, the movement of the lightning icicle was almost like a jump. It jumped from Saleen’s arm to right in front of the True Might’s face.

The True Might was startled, and a sword aura beam shot from his mouth. As the sword aura was shot out, the True Might’s nose and throat split open. A thread of fresh blood flowed out, and sword aura immediately healed the wound.

The sword aura was hit by Saleen’s lightning icicle and exploded. Small ice chips flew in all directions, and numerous small injuries were inflicted on the True Might’s body.

It was the True Might’s first time encountering such a terrifying piece of equipment. His sword aura could protect his body from all magic spells below level 8. Even level 9 magic spells would not cause visible damage. It was only for level 10 and above that he would consider using a skill, either to destroy or defend against them.

Saleen had used an icicle without much care and had completely annihilated his sword aura.

The middle-aged man’s entire body suddenly emitted an even more intense gas. The water around him was pushed back by the pressure, forming a shield of wind element.

Pfft…

The second lightning icicle pierced through the wind element shield, slicing across the man’s ribs and taking away a chunk of bloody flesh.

The two were simultaneously alarmed. The level 10 True Might’s alarm was due to the fact that his protective elemental skill was extremely rare among the True Mights and could utilize a mage’s power. Saleen’s alarm was due to the fact that he had locked onto his enemy, but he was able to dodge harm at critical moments. The lightning icicle had merely grazed across the True Might’s ribs.

The surface of the level 10 True Might’s body suddenly inflated into a translucent ball. Saleen’s third lightning icicle unexpectedly slid across the ball. It only cut it in half, and did not break it.

Both were once again alarmed. Even a level 11 person would have no way to resist Saleen’s Thunder Dragon Blaster and would rely on equipment to do so, but this level 10 True Might only needed to use a skill to slide the lightning icicle away. Furthermore, it had caused Saleen to lose control of the third lightning icicle and he had no means to continue manipulating the icicle to attack.

The level 10 True might was stunned. Only a professional ranked above him could destroy his skill. It had allowed him to progress from being a trainee swordsman to becoming a True Might. It had never been destroyed. Today’s enemy had used one icicle and damaged his sphere. He was somewhat afraid.

Whoosh!

The longsword in the True Might’s hands broke out with a low frequency buzz, and Saleen lost his target.

The long sword took the True Might away and disappeared from Saleen’s line of sight. Saleen’s perception was unable to detect any enemies, but did not panic. He released a jet black cloud and enveloped the entire area within the permitted boundary.

The True Might screamed. His skin was corroded by Saleen’s water element essence. Even the long sword’s protection was unable to deflect. The dark cloud had a corrosive power that surpassed all existing magic medicinal liquids.

After finding his target, Saleen shot out his fourth lightning icicle. The True Might disappeared once more. His long sword cut open the dark cloud, and he distanced himself from Saleen and escaped. The True Might’s movements in the water were very fast. Saleen lost his target for the second time. He did not shoot out the fifth lightning icicle and instead continued to disperse the dark cloud.

When the radius of the dark cloud expanded to a diameter of two kilometers, the True Might was once again corroded by the dark cloud, causing fresh blood to drip liberally from his entire body. It was again immediately healed by his sword aura.

Saleen had once again discovered his opponent. This time he did not use the Thunder Dragon Blaster, but instead rushed over.

The True Might saw Saleen come and momentarily furrowed his brows in anger. A sword spirit from his long sword released a terrifying growl. The growling frightened all of the living creatures in the area, causing them to go limp.

Saleen also released a loud roar. Thundering sound mixed with his roaring sound, offsetting the sword spirit’s growl.

The long sword emitted an amber sword aura, which looked like balls of hair. It permeated the surrounding 100 square meters. It was a True Might’s territory.

It was much more arduous for a True Might to utilize a territory than a mage, and the duration that it could be maintained was much shorter. However, a True Might’s territory had immense killing power. The man had only used his immature territorial power that under circumstances where he had no other choice. He wanted to kill Saleen swiftly.

Saleen raised his hand to shoot all of the remaining lightning icicles. The amber colored sword aura was momentarily broken apart by the flash of electricity. Saleen’s lightning icicles dissipated into the lake waters.

“Spare me, Your Majesty!” The True Might exclaimed.

Saleen’s figure halted and he looked at the True Might, whose entire body had countless wounds. Although the man had yelled for him to spare his life, he had not thrown aside his weapon, and the amber colored sword aura continued to wind around his longsword.

“Why?” Saleen questioned. He guessed that the one his puppets had killed was this middle-aged man’s kin. Spare him? If his combat ability had not been good enough, he would probably have been killed by this middle-aged man long ago.

He paused to ask only because he was adjusting his mental power.

“Your Majesty, the one you killed was my son. Hatred can be reconciled. Since I achieved the rank of a True Might, my lifespan has reached more than 1,000 years. I can just have another child!”

“Oh?” That was the first time that Saleen had met such a heartless person. If anyone harmed his children, even if he was level 18, Saleen would still fight to his last breath.

“I have 8,000 sword slaves who are all under my control. Even the weakest one is a swordmaster and can be escorts for Your Majesty.” The middle-aged man gasped as the wind element around his body continue to keep him apart from the lake water.

Saleen smiled. Before condensing a thick layer of ice on the surface of his body, he spoke one sentence: “I don’t care!”

As his words sounded, Saleen arrived in front of the middle-aged man. His finger pointed at the man’s heart. Since Saleen was too fast, the lake water had exploded outward and the high temperature caused the freezing lake water to evaporate. The layer of ice on the lake’s surface burst open.

After the enormous energy caused the True Might’s heart to shatter, his corpse also blew up, forming a huge blood cell in front of Saleen.

Saleen swiftly retreated. The attack had consumed a large amount of his mental power. Saleen did not even seek out the opponent’s longsword. The longsword was good quality, and had a sword spirit. However, Saleen had already discovered a second enemy, one who was even more powerful than the level 10 True Might. They had been concealed at a distance all this time and were waiting for an opportunity.
