Hail the King

At this shocking moment, there was only one person who was calm except Tanasha. After all, it felt like Tanasha knew this was going to happen.

This person was Martial Saint Krasic.

“Second Strike – [Punishment from Heaven]!”

After seeing Lkunta and Huntelaar both being enveloped by the golden magic runes, Krasic made the most correct decision. With both of his hands on Heavenly Sword, he raised it over his head and injected his warrior energy into it. After a green light flashed by, a huge circular pattern appeared in the air, and a huge green sword that was 100 meters long appeared from it.

With green lights around him, Krasic slowly struck down the Heavenly Sword. The green energy sword that was 100 meters long also tiled forward as Krasic moved. Although it looked very slow, it was actually so fast that people couldn’t grasp it. With might, it hit Lkunta and Huntelaar who were both captured by the golden magic runes.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosion noises sounded as the golden magic runes were disrupted. The magic elements that made up these runes were pushed into each other, and they set off a series of explosions.

However, that huge green energy sword struck through the explosion and landed on the peak. As the mountain shook violently, that huge stone pillar was struck into pieces, and huge pieces of stones fell into the viewing area.

Clouds of dust instantly blocked everyone’s vision.

When the dust finally settled, everyone saw what happened.

Blood was still flowing down Krasic’s body. The injury caused by Huntelaar’s sneak attack was the most severe; ribs were visible, and the edges of the heart were vaguely visible as well through the huge bowl-sized wound. In terms of Heavenly Sword, it stood quietly beside Krasic like an old friend.

Although Krasic’s face was pale and he had blood all over his body, Fei sensed that Krasic’s breathing returned to normal. That calmed Fei down a lot.

Martial Saint Lkunta got one of his arm chopped off from the shoulder, and blood was spurting out of the wound like a fountain. Although the red energy flame was flashing on the wound and wanted to seal it up, he no longer had his Level 10 Demon Beast and couldn’t transfer the injury to it. His yellow face looked black, and he was in so much pain that his body twitched and shivered!

The No.1 Swordsman from the Jax Empire got his sword destroyed; the long silver sword only had about half a meter left. In addition, there was a terrifying wound that was about half a meter long from his shoulder to his stomach. There were also wounds on other areas of his body, and blood flowed out rapidly as well.

With the help of Spatial Magic [Spatial Chain Swamp] from Girano, Krasic’s [Punishment from Heaven] completely struck on these two Moon-Class Elites, and this strike took away more than half of their combat abilities. This Martial Saint of Zenit was really good at grasping the opportunities, and he was able to turn the situation around perfect.

“You are on the side of Zenit?” Lkunta stared at Girano with hatred as he shouted angrily like an injured animal in a trap, “Do you know what you are doing? Zenit’s fate was already decided at the Meeting of the Seven Empires! What you are doing is equal to tying St. Germain Empire onto the sinking ship named Zenit!”

Girano only curled his lips after he heard that.

This Crown Prince didn’t even look at the Martial Saint of Spartax. Instead, he looked at his four beautiful maids who looked pale, and he waved his black magic wand. A blue magic sphere enveloped the four maids, and their faces instantly got less pale as their breathing got calmer.

Fei was a little surprised.

He didn’t expect the promiscuous Crown Prince of the St. Germain Empire was a Moon-Class Elite Mage who mastered both Spatial and Water-elemental magic spells. Also, he didn’t expect the four beautiful maids of Girano who looked like decorative pieces to be mages who had Four-Star and Five-Star strengths. After seeing how these four maids risked their lives to protect Girano and how Girano used a lot of his magic energy to help his four maids heal up when there were still powerful enemies around, Fei felt like the relationship between the five people couldn’t be simply explained by the word “promiscuous”.

At this point, Fei vaguely felt like he was inside a chained trap set up by the people on higher-levels.

Fei knew for sure that Girano’s identity was a huge secret, and this Crown Prince even got the trust of people like Lkunta and Costakarta. That was the only reason why Costakarta would help Girano to stop Fei. Ziene could either not know the identity of Girano or pretended to not know the identity of Girano, but Girano did put on a good show with the master warriors of Zenit who didn’t know what was really going on. The enemies completely trusted Girano, and they didn’t even defend against [Spatial Chain Swamp] at all. By using this crucial mistake of the enemies, Krasic was able to succeed.

Fei finally knew that this famous Martial Saints Battle was far more complicated than he thought.

This scene was extremely similar to what happened on the Peak of the East Mountain in Chambord, and this battle was the battle between many different empires. Different from how Fei was able to accidentally discover the truth and counter the scheme, this “chess game” was so high-leveled that even the king of Chambord was a non-important chess piece.

“General, you are a famous commander and are admired by a lot of people in many empires. Why would you ditch your honor and the glory of a soldier to participate in the dirty scheme of the Spartax?” With the protection of her guards, the Elder Prince slowly walked out and asked the Famous General Costakarta.

A bit of shame flashed through this elderly generals’ eyes, but it quickly disappeared. The hand that was holding onto the blade got firmer, and he replied with an emotionless expression, “To an old soldier, admiration for the enemies is not needed. I only hope that the citizens of the Eindhoven Empire remember my honor and glory.”

Currently, Costakarta was the only Moon-Class Elite on the side of the enemy who kept his combat ability. He walked towards Lkunta and Huntelaar in extreme calmness and stood in front of them. He then waved his hand, and a blade of a dead person flew into his hand. With two blades in his hands, he pointed them at the ground as the murderous spirit of an experienced general was fully unleashed. He looked battle-hungry.

“Too bad your plan failed. No one will remember the honor and glory of a conspirator who dared to destroy the fairness in a Martial Saints Battle.”

Paris sneered as she walked up and stood beside Tanasha. With anger in her eyes, she mocked, “Do you think Zenit doesn’t know about the so-called Meeting of the Seven Empires? That is only a dumb joke! It is just a few arrogant idiots digging their own graves!”

Her first sentence was correct.

In terms of strength, Krasic was injured severely, and Girano used a lot of his magic energy even though he wasn’t injured. Although it was hard to determine the result if they had to fight with the three Moon-Class Elites on the enemy’s side since two enemies were injured as well, they were at a small disadvantage. However, Zenit still had a lot of Star-level warriors. Except for a few who died in previous battles and the 10 people from the Holy Church who were strangely quiet, these Star-level warriors gave Zenit the numbers advantage. With Fei who was able to fight against Costakarta, Zenit had an advantage overall.

All the strange noises coming from the central sword peak must have attracted the attention of more master warriors of Zenit, and people on the enemy’s side would definitely be killed when these reinforcements arrive.

Fei quietly got close to Krasic and handed a bottle of [Full Rejuvenation Potion] to this Martial Saint.

However, Krasic didn’t take it. Rather, he just turned around and looked at Fei quietly. At this moment, Fei felt an indescribable illusion as if this fatherly figure of his was trying to tell him something. Fei was a little stunned. Just as he was about to try to convince Krasic to drink the potion, the Martial Saint of Zenit walked forward.

“You three, come at me all together. Also, you should probably make your appearance now, the friend that is hiding in the sky.” With Heavenly Sword in his hands, Krasic said heroically, “I will let you guys understand what Martial Saint of Zenit means!”
