Hail the King

Chapter 859: The Golden Sun Knight (Part One)

“Your opponent is me.”

After successfully protecting Luffy, Sutton targeted the two Moon-Class Elites with his aura. His hands grasped in mid-air lightly, and a dash of golden energy flame slowly burned through the space around him. In the next moment, a dragon lance appeared in this energy flame. This lance was a little more than three meters long, and it had the thickness of a child’s arm. With many profound runes engraved on its body, it seemed like life energy was flowing inside it.

Fei destroyed the golden dragon lance that Sutton used during their duel at the Dual-Tower Mountain. Not long ago, Fei gifted Sutton a new golden dragon lance. This dragon lance was one of the combat weapons that survived through time in the Last Ancestral Place of the Dwarfs, and Fei grabbed it when he was there last time. It was a level 4 combat weapon, and it was quite powerful.

Sutton shook his dragon lance, and dashes of golden light appeared in the sky. As if the gods were angry, the dashes of golden light tore through the sky and struck down forcefully, instantly enveloping the two Moon-Class Elites.

Right now, Sutton was fighting a one-versus-two battle, and he blocked both Moon-Class Elites of the Imperial Senate without falling into a disadvantage.

“AHHHHH… Impossible!” Old Monster Stoch roared in a rage.

His greyish-white hair stood up on ends, and his energy flames enveloped his body. He was furious since this was a massive humiliation in his eyes. He was fighting a junior with the help of another Moon-Class Elite, but he wasn’t able to get the instant win. After all, when Sutton was only a kid, Stoch was already a Moon-Class Elite. He had been famous for dozens of years now, but he was being suppressed today. The anger that he was sensing almost made him puke blood.

However, Sutton’s golden dragon lance was like the scepter of the gods! It contained unstoppable power and unleashed Sutton’s delicate techniques. The golden energy flames turned into godly dragons, and they howled in the sky and attacked the two Moon-Class Elites. Sutton’s strength was unbelievable! He handled both Montoya and Old Monster Stoch on his own, and he wasn’t pressured that much. With control of the battle, his metal-elemental warrior energy was as sharp as blades, and it cut through space without running into any obstacles. Almost everything around him was cut into pieces. Soon, his opponents could only defend and no longer had any opportunities to attack.

The growth of the Golden Sun Knight was impressive.

He only became a Moon-Class Elite about two months ago, but he was able to suppress these two experienced masters; it was no different from a miracle.

For a moment, the golden energy flame lit up the sky, and the loud dragon roars resonated in the area. Like a golden sun, Sutton was bright and powerful, stealing the light from all other people at this moment. In fact, his aura was so sharp that other people had a hard time looking at him.

This situation greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers of [Iron Blood Legion] and the Imperial Patrol.

Soon, the fortress of the Imperial Senate was utterly broken through. With Luffy back into the battle, the sieging force was invincible. A Six-Star Warrior was an unclimbable mountain to ordinary soldiers.

The close to 2,000 soldiers of the Imperial Senate started to resist again when the two Moon-Class Elites appeared. However, since Sutton stopped those two masters, those ordinary soldiers fell into a hard battle. More than 600 soldiers were killed, and about 1,400 soldiers saw that victory was leaving them, so they dropped their weapons and surrendered while kneeling.

“Forgive me, forgive me! I made a mistake…”

The President of the Imperial Senate wasn’t able to get away in time. Right now, his body was covered in blood, and his hair was messy. Right before he could step into the teleportation portal created by a magic scroll, Luffy’s arms suddenly extended and pulled him back.

This arrogant and cruel nobleman was terrified, and he kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Luffy hated his guts and wasn’t willing to say anything more. With one punch, he put an end to this vicious conspirator.

The battle was soon over, and the Imperial Senate that was once influential and powerful disappeared.

In the sky, the battle between the masters also reached a tipping point.

Chapter 859: The Golden Sun Knight (Part Two)

Sutton’s dragon lance penetrated the throat of Moon-Class Elite Montoya who was a bit weaker, and the latter lost his life. The sharp metal-elemental warrior energy ran loose inside his body, and the sword energies dashed in all directions and turned his body into a cloud of blood mist.

Old Monster Stoch had a lot of injuries on his body. After Fei struck him a while ago, he was severely injured, and he hadn’t recovered yet. Right now, he only had less than 50% of his strength back.

Facing the aggressive Sutton, he sensed the threat of death. For a moment, many memories flashed in his mind, and all the bad things he did and crimes he committed reappeared in his head. Also, the faces of people whom he tortured and killed jumped out before his eyes one by one.

That split second of distraction allowed Sutton’s dragon lance to penetrate this old monster’s heart.

With blood gushing out of his mouth, this old monster retreated in a flash with a strange smile. He laughed crazily, “I dominated the region in my lifetime, and I have killed a lot of people. I don’t regret anything! If the King of Chambord didn’t injure me so severely, how can you battle me? Haha! Even if I have to die, how can I die in the hands of a weak junior like you? Hahaha! Only I can determine my fate!”

As soon as he said that, an explosion sounded in the sky. Flames appeared in the air, indicating that the old monster had self-detonated.

Sutton slowly put away his dragon lance and waved his hand at the ground. A huge force sucked up Luffy who still didn’t get enough battle, and they turned into a dash of golden light and disappeared towards the Martial Saint Mountain as tens of thousands of soldiers cheered.

After this battle, the corrupt nobles’ most prominent force inside St. Petersburg was pulled out along with its roots.

…

Soldiers started to clean up the battlefield orderly and steadily.

-At the top floor of a tall pavilion further away-

[Demonic Woman] Paris saw this scene, and she heaved a sigh of relief as a relaxed smile appeared on her face. Right now, her red armor was stained by blood, and blood was still dripping down the blade of her double-handed sword.

Tonight was the night of bleeding, and unimaginable battles were taking place all over St. Petersburg.

In the dark, the corrupt nobles who knew they were facing death didn’t surrender and give up. Instead, they chose to fight back and counterattack. They revealed all the strength that they had been hiding, and both sides used their trump cards. The casualties were high, and even Paris joined a battle and fought personally, which was rare to see.

Fortunately, the two princes coordinated well and kept all the secrets hidden. The nobles didn’t get any warning signs, and they were surprised by the sudden siege. They were surrounded and taken down one by one as they didn’t have time to coordinate their defense with each other.

It was midnight, and the sunrise was less than six hours away. By now, this unexpected cleaning operation was completed.

The first step to the grand plan was executed properly!

However, the Zenit Empire was still in a critical situation, and it didn’t get turned around because of this.

Before the sunrise, the most terrifying enemy that Zenit had ever faced was going to arrive. D’Alessandro, the No.2 Disciple of the Continental Martial Saint, was coming, and it was hard to imagine how the giant bear of the north was going to survive through this crisis without a powerful master who could match this arrogant young man.

Various signal flames were shot into the dark sky, creating a series of beautiful yet strange images.

This meant that the operation was over.

Then, intense and busy cleanup and preparation were about to start.

“Let’s go.” Paris looked at the flames in the sky and said with a relaxed expression.

“Let’s go.”

Beside this [Demonic Woman], a silent and mysterious person stood in the dark in a cloak.

As if his body merged with space, he was standing there, but others felt like that place was empty. It was clear that his strength was on another level.

Quickly, the two of them flashed and disappeared from this building.
