Lord of the Truth

Chapter 466 26 Year Old Richard

On that very day, Richard agreed again to return to treat the patients and return to the limbs selling system, but on the condition that the Azil tribe give him a chance to be fully healed first... And he had what he wanted.

In the final quarter of his sixth year in Nihari, the first buyer finally entered his room after waiting for months...

This time, Richard did not try to show his fighting skills or try to survive as before, but rather advanced slowly towards the giant as if he was ready for the Giant to cut off his arm, then suddenly he jumped on the neck of that giant and bit it, then lit the green flame in both of them!!

Desperate screams filled the palace and were heard outside, everyone thought it was the cries of Richard whose limbs were being ripped off again, so the guards did not move a step and no patient in the line cared.

Only when the giant was late in leaving, one of the guards entered to rush him and tell him to take his meal outside, and he found something he had never expected.

He finds the corpse of an old giant who died of old age, and on top of the corpse, he found what looked like a demon at first sight.

It was Richard... He was sitting on the corpse with a mouth stained with blood, looking at the giantʼs lifeless eyes with a crazed look, and laughing in a low voice...

This killing technique was not clearly written in the technique Richard received for Milla, but he wondered... ʼIf I can convert natural energy into life energy and then inject it into the targetʼs lifeline to prolong his natural life, why canʼt I do the opposite?!ʼ

…In order to create the Major Heavenly Law of Life, superficial knowledge of the Major Heavenly Law of Death had to be involved in the technique. And that superficial knowledge of the Major Heavenly Law of Death was indirectly involved with the Major Heavenly Law of Life and the Major Heavenly Law of Fire in order to produce the Life Flame Technique!

And now this superficial knowledge has been fully released.

This was the first time that Richard has killed a person, and yet he did not feel any remorse or sadness, but it was one of the happiest moments of his life...

His happiness didnʼt last too long, however.

~Neither side shall die~ These were the rules of war set by the Azil tribe, so when the death of a relative of a Northern tribe chief, Karat, was reported, the guards were ordered to publicly flog Richard a thousand lashes and cut off all four of his limbs and sell them at auction To compensate for the losses and also to make Richard know his mistake and not repeat it again.

But contrary to their thinking, Richard did not understand the lesson well... After another three months, and before Richard even fully recovered, the incident was repeated.

But this time, Richard took another step behind the limit after killing the young giant, he took out his heart, then went out in public in front of the *patients* and took a bite of it while laughing madly.

Then the third incident, then the fourth, then the fifth..!!

Each time Richard did something worse than the previous one, and each time his punishment doubled more than the previous one... 

The consequences were so bad that even the Major Heavenly Law of Life failed him more than once, but the guards didnʼt even give him the chance to die, they quickly stopped to give him a chance to catch his breath, before they continued their torture.

However, Richard did not stop killing any giant who tried to take a piece of him.

Richard started killing giants for the first time because he thought that this would deter the rest away from him, but unfortunately, this did not happen, they continued at the same pace and perhaps increased

Nevertheless, he continued killing anyone who wanted to take his limbs anyway, though he lost four limbs instead of one.

Killing one of those wretched creatures every once in a while was simply too much fun.

And although the Azil tribe faced a lot of pressure and problems from other northern tribes because of the killing of their youth at the hands of Richard, the number of applicants for the attempts did not decrease at all, as the rich no longer wanted a piece of Richard because it was only delicious, but now taking that piece became itʼs a challenge for them!

Therefore, the Azil Tripe rejected the suggestions directed to them to put a Dragon realm cultivator inside the palace to monitor the fight and stop Richard if he tried to kill, saying that whoever does not have self-confidence should not issue the challenge to the Green Flame Doctor in the first place, thus igniting the spirit of challenge in the giant youth more... 

When Richard kills someone they are They take his four limbs from him and gain even more pearls in the auctions, why would they stop such a source of profit? 

If his dignity is more important to him than his interest and he wants to lose his four limbs instead of one, why would they put restrictions on him to prevent him?! If the decision was theirs, they would only stand the challenge and sell his limbs continuously in auctions directly, but he refused and threatened to commit suicide at the time. If that little human would give them the same limbs by killing promising young men from other tribes, why would they get angry about it?!

He should just do what he wants to do, then they just display the flogging in front of everyone as a form of punishment to calm the family of the deceased, and then they pray to heaven that Richard kills again!

... During the next four years, only 6 veterans and real geniuses managed to successfully dodge the Life Flame and take one of Richardʼs limbs... The last of them was when Richard was twenty years old.

Now Richard is 26 years old, the last time he was defeated by a giant the same level as he is was over five years ago.

No one knew what was happening inside that little room inside the palace and how Richard wins every time, but the victory over him now has undoubtedly become one of the best testimonies of strength that any giant can attain.

~~~~~~~~~

Now...

The 26-year-old Richard looked at the young giant in front of him without apparent emotion and asked in a low voice, ”For the last time I will ask you, is there no way other than to fight? I will give you a chance to go out now with your dignity and say that you defeated me but you were generous and did not want to cut off one of my limbs, if someone asked me I will say that you indeed defeated me, what do you think?”

The giant looked at Richard sarcastically, ”Hmph, do you think I paid ten thousand energy pearls to the tribe of Azil, and a thousand in more bribes to speed up my turn, in order to give me a certificate that I am strong? Haha, idiocy, today I will snatch that certificate which is your arm! It is said that everyone who faced you died because they were aging so quickly, all I have to do is avoid your green flames, right? I have a means for that! Letʼs do it!!”

”...Sigh~ as you wish.” Richard sighed and looked sadly at his arms and legs.

”Hey, stop looking at MY meal HAHAHA!” The giant laughed loudly at Richard and quickly advanced

*swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh*

Four balls of green flames jumped out from the pile of fire in front of Richard and charged toward the giant quickly

When the giant saw the balls of flames coming toward him, his features turned into utter focus, he stopped laughing and quickly dashed back and activated the second stage of the Wind Divine Tattoo on his right thigh.

Whenever one of the four balls approached him, he narrowly dodged it, and when one of the balls approached so quickly behind him that dodging was no longer an option, he activated the second stage of the Water Divine Tattoo on his right arm and created a small water wall in front of him, the flame ball evaporated as it collided with it.

*shhh*

*shhhhhhh*

”Hahaha, see? I am the worst enemy of all flame users, I will be the victor today, and my name will be heard in all of the Northern regions!!” The giant shouted loudly when he saw the ball of flame evaporate and began to imagine the scene of his friends looking at him with respect after he came out with Richardʼs arm, as the first victor over him in more than five years.

He started to jump excitedly toward Richard again, he felt something grabbing his foot and pulling him down *smack*

The giant looked at his feet to see what was happening, and found some kind of overpowered carpet on the floor wrapped around his feet, ”What kind of magic is this?”

*step.. step.. step..*

He had hardly comprehended what had just happened when he heard the sound of footsteps coming towards him, he was about to cry out saying to the guards to stay out of this and that he can still fight 

But he was left speechless when he looked up towards the source of the footsteps and found four chairs running towards him quickly as if they were hungry beasts that saw a piece of meat.
