387 Chapter 389 Internal Strife Among the Holy Kings
“What? Do you know him?”, Andrew’s reaction surprised him.
Andrew shook his head and made up an excuse, “I don’t know him. I just heard that he is very powerful.”
Shaking his head, Red King said, “I don’t know where you heard such unrealistic rumors, but it doesn’t matter.
Monado was a relatively weak one among the section chief, but he was also the one that was valued most by Purple King.”
“What do you mean?” Andrew asked.
Red King cleared his throat and said slowly.
“It was known to all that after the third test– body barrier, the mage could improve greatly in strength and became the level of grand tutor mage.
At the same time, it could extend the mage’s life.
And Monado was such a person.
He was a survivor of the war in Spitz Bay. He was 327 years old.
Logically speaking, with his strength, he was not able to live for so long.
Normally, the lifespan of a grand tutor mage would be 250 to 300.
But he was injured during the war in Spitz Bay, and then he found that he had reached the limit of his talent, so he had no chance to be a mage tutor king.
So, he chose to give up and turned magic power into nourishment to extend his life as much as possible.
That was why he could live to the age of 327.
He was a man with a strong desire to survive.
Of course, it also caused his strength to become weak.
Although his magic power was high.
He was the weakest among the ministers.
He doesn’t deserve to be the director. He can only be the deputy director, but…”
Speaking of this, Red King shook his head and sighed.
“But?” Andrew asked in confusion.
Red King said: “After the war in Spitz Bay, there was some internal conflict in Magic Association.
Some people were dissatisfied with the long-term war and began to rebel against Magic Association.
At that time, the four of us realized that a huge organization could be established only by absolute violence, but the problem was that the group’s unity was not intimidated by violence.
So, we have made a new system.
And Monado, who was brave in the Spitz Bay war, was the first beneficiary.”
“What system?”
“It’s rewarding according to one’s contribution.”
“What?”
“I’m so ashamed. Before the war in Spitz Bay, to better manage Magic Association, we performed a high-pressure policy. We only care about one’s fault and didn’t care about his contribution.
But later we realized that it would only have the wrong effect.
That was why there was a new system of reward.
We had no choice. Before the war of legends, we four holy kings were only warriors and didn’t know anything about politics.”
Hearing this, Andrew roughly understood, “So, even if Monado is not strong enough, to reward him, you still let him be the section chief?”
“Yes.”
Nodding his head, Red King continued, “Only by giving a generous reward and consoling the families of those who have died in the battle can others rest assured.
They even hoped that they could get injured in Magic Association for making contributions.
At the same time, the status difference was introduced, making the mage naturally superior to others.
Since then, the cohesion of mages in the Magic Association had been greatly improved.
We have always thought that this is a good system, and in fact, it is true.”
“What does this have to do with Purple King?”
“Monado is one of his confidants. Back then, he was the first group of people to be rewarded. He did some dirty things.
Including interfering in the internal affairs of our business.
Although Purple King’s strength was about the same as Black King’s, he was more violent. This time, he asked the director to review the final exam. It was said that Magic Association was concerned about the young generation of Law School.
In fact?
I don’t care if he wants to kill you. But he wants to touch my territory. Do you think I can bear it?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a murderous look appeared on his face.
He was angry.
And he was not as angry as before, but rage!
It was not just that Purple King wanted to break the bet, making all the holy kings lose face.
This was a blatant provocation to the other holy kings.
“Black King is a dull man. He won’t get involved in this kind of thing.
I have just discussed it with Golden King, we can’t bear it.
Usually, Purple King has offended our internal affairs, again and again. Because it hasn’t caused too much damage, we can bear it.
But this time, he had gone too far.
We can’t do it directly, nor can we fight with each other, or Magic Association will be in danger.
So, this time, we will not only let him couldn’t cheat but also teach him a good lesson.
Asked him to straighten his position and told him, ” Don’t interfere too much. Law School is my territory.”
‘It seemed that they were not 100% united.’
Andrew finally understood what he meant.
Purple King should be the most arrogant of the four holy kings. It had already caused the dissatisfaction of the other two holy kings.
But Andrew had difficulty.
“I’m not ready yet. And why do you think I can win an injured grand tutor mage?” Andrew asked tentatively.
“You can win, just tell me if you are willing to do it?”, Red King said with a smile.
“What if I say no?”
“Then I won’t care about it. You just wait for the final exam and be killed by Monado.”
“Isn’t there no choice?” Andrew lowered his head dejectedly.
It seemed that he couldn’t escape from Lucy’s exclusive commission.
“So, you say I can win, why you be so sure?”
With a faint smile, Red King immediately threw over a bottle of medicine.
Andrew took it and was surprised, “Vital energy?”
“You should have used the fire’s vital energy, right?”, the meaning of his words was very obvious.
The Heavenly Destiny Penetrating Skill and the fire’s vital energy.
If the two of them were used together, Andrew’s magic power could break through 12,000.
“Find a way to persuade Monado to fight with you in front of the whole school during the final exam.
Remember, in front of the whole school, Monado is the face of Purple King, I want him to lose face!
If you succeed, you will be rewarded handsomely!”
Andrew had no reason to refuse.
It seemed that Red King was really angry this time.
Just now, Golden King was also there, indicating they should have communicated.
This was the idea of the two holy kings.
“Okay, the last question.”
“You will reward me handsomely. What would you give me?”
Red King was stunned, laughed ferociously, and said: “I will make you satisfied.”
“Okay! I’ll do it!”
Andrew put away the fire’s vital energy and agreed without hesitation.
Chapter 390 The Battle with Cruz
With the fire’s vital energy, Andrew dared to deal with Monado.
Andrew didn’t expect that there would be a turning point as soon as he accepted the exclusive commission.
‘Was it a coincidence?
No.’
Andrew thought about it carefully. Maybe it was not just a coincidence.
‘By the way, I haven’t studied the system carefully.
Each witch had such a powerful strength. Why was this system able to block so many witches?
Even if they were imprisoned, they could still be immortal.’
At the same time, every time Andrew completed his task, the system gave him so many valuable things.
It could even make Andrew learn magic in an instant.
It didn’t make sense.
And single magic couldn’t have such a complicated effect.
Including this exclusive commission.
He felt strange that Red King wanted to kill Monado and he happened to take this commission.
He thought the system had predicted in advance that Red King would kill Monado, so its entrusted Andrew to take advantage of the situation.
He couldn’t figure it out.
But anyway, there was much hope to deal with Monado now.
Andrew finally felt relieved.
Next, as long as he concentrated on fighting with Cruz, he can go to the Secret Place to improve himself until the final exam’s coming.
Besides, Andrew finally found a breakthrough in this matter.
The holy kings were not united.
There were also many conflicts between them, but for the sake of the overall situation, they tolerated each other.
‘In that case, there would be a loophole, which would allow them to fall into internal strife and he could take advantage of it.
It seemed that the holy kings also had their weaknesses.’
Thinking of this, Andrew was in a good mood and went back to his dormitory to have a rest.
Two days passed quickly.
According to the agreement with Cruz, Andrew came to Dongming peak which was in the training area alone.
As soon as he arrived, he saw that Cruz had been waiting for him for a long time.
In the sky, Cruz put the sword on the ground with his hands crossed on the hilt.
He was tall and straight and stayed calm.
He was as lofty as countless mountains around.
“I’ve been waiting for you, Andrew.”
Seeing Andrew, Cruz pulled out his sword, put it on his shoulder, and smiled, “You look good. Have you eaten enough and slept well?”
After landing on the ground, Andrew put on the cracked Dragon Extinguishing Hand and said, “You’d better care about yourself.”
After saying that, Andrew got ready. He couldn’t wait to beat him.
“Well, you have a high fighting spirit. But can you fight with your Dragon Extinguishing Hand?”
“As I said, take care of yourself.”
“Yeah, you’re full of spirit, so…”
He put down his sword and made a gesture.
He waved the heavy sword in his hands lightly as if it was weightless. The wind roared.
He released magic power.
The magic power, which made people feel numb, pounced on Andrew again.
The majestic magic power made people hear the sound of a dragon roaring and a tiger roaring.
The nimble electric sparks could not wait to jump on the broad sword.
It was just a gesture, and the clouds within a few kilometers were all blown away.
‘He has strength.’
“I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. Andrew, you’re finally willing to fight with me! I’m so happy!
Come on, when we begin, it’s up to you!”
‘This guy was not simple.
Although he looked frivolous, his strength was astonishing.’
When Andrew faced him, his pores were stinging and the air seemed to be frozen.
The fighting spirit seemed to be substantial and flawless.
Everything proved to Andrew that he was a worthy opponent.
‘I am waiting for a long time. Go all out!’
“Really? So…”
Andrew also released magic power.
Boom.
The whole mountain seemed to have sunk several meters.
“… Now!”
As soon as Andrew finished speaking, he started to walk.
Fire Divine Pace
Bang!
The mountain under his feet was immediately trampled into pieces.
Half of the mountain range collapsed, and the earth-shattering sound could be heard even on the main campus a thousand miles away.
The distance of twenty meters between them was erased as if it did not exist.
Andrew, who was on tenterhooks, rushed towards him.
A massive amount of magic power was poured into his right fist.
‘The opponent was a force-attack mage, so the long-range attack would only fall into a passive position.
Then I should take close combat.’
Nine Fire Sweep Array
The flame-filled punch was like a star.
“Oh!”, Cruz was surprised.
The five fingers holding the sword suddenly exerted force and used the sword as the shield to block.
Bang!
The explosion made the burning fire soar into the sky.
A strong impact came out from Cruz’s back.
Another narrow mountain range four or five kilometer away behind him was broken by the aftereffect.
When the fire was gone, Andrew was surprised.
This incomparable blow was unexpectedly blocked by Cruz with a sword in one hand.
There was not even a crack on the sword, let alone being broken. Only the curling smoke penetrated between the fist and the sword.
‘Could such a powerful punch not hurt him at all?’
“What a horrible blow! As a city-attack mage, your speed and strength of close combat were not inferior to that of a force-attack mage.
Andrew, you are a worthy opponent! “
As soon as he finished speaking, Cruz’s magic power was raised abruptly.
“In return, it seems that I have to be more serious.”
Swoosh.
Andrew felt a gust of wind blowing over his face.
The next second, Cruz waved his sword and deflected Andrew’s fist. He suddenly turned in the air and slashed at Andrew!
‘So fast!
He could wave the heavy sword at such a fast speed!’
There was almost no time for Andrew to react. He could only instinctively retreat, and Andrew instantly came five meters away.
He raised his head again and found that some of his hair was missing.
Several strands of hair fell in front of Cruz.
Blood slid down from his forehead, was cut in half by the bridge of his nose, and finally met his chin.
Both sides made a move. It was clear who was the winner.
Andrew’s eyes narrowed. He didn’t dare to look down upon Cruz anymore.
‘This guy was very powerful!
Maybe he was the best in grade two.’
“Be serious, Andrew.”
With the sword on his shoulder, Cruz crooked his finger and said, “I’ve only used 30% of my power. Can’t you dodge? It was not fun to go on like this.
Don’t let me down.”
“Humph, how dare you say that?”
Andrew wiped the blood off his forehead and stood up, “I’ll let you take those words back.”
Dragon Extinguishing Magic* Water Purify Tiantan
Chapter 391 An Earthshaking Battle
Boom! Boom!
As Cruz passed by, a mountain collapsed on the spot.
In mid-air, he abruptly opened his body and forced himself to stop flying. Looking at the broken mountain, he found that Andrew had disappeared.
The next second, he felt cold.
He raised his sword to block the attack instinctively.
Pang.
Cruz didn’t know when Andrew was behind him and threw a heavy punch at him.
Cruz, who had narrowly withstood the blow, fell from the air.
Andrew wouldn’t give him a chance to breathe.
He made the clouds condense into water, firmly binding Cruz up like a tentacle.
“Hmm…”
He couldn’t get rid of Andrew’s grip. Before Cruz could figure out a way, he was already in front of him.
Andrew’s flame-wrapped leg kicked him mercilessly in the abdomen.
“Wow!”
Cruz spat out blood and fell from the sky at an amazing speed.
The shock wave over sound speed continued to expand from behind.
Bang.
A big pot with a diameter of a hundred meters collapsed on the ground, and dust and gravel flew all over the sky.
Andrew stood in heaven and observed.
However, at this moment.
Something rushed out of the dust.
With a long drag of dust, he approached at an astonishing speed.
“Hahaha! Hahaha!”
‘It was Cruz!’
The man’s face was covered with blood, but he laughed happily.
He held the heavy sword in his hand and adjusted his magic power. In an instant, the big sword seemed to have turned into thousands of swords.
Thousands of wind blades rushed towards Andrew like a net.
Thunder Fighting Skill * Force Attack
At the moment of the slash, Cruz’s body was shrouded in thunderlight, and his speed suddenly increased to the same level as the slash.
Andrew was shocked. He quickly switched to the ice attribute which was more suitable for defense. With the control of the water system of Water Purify Tiantan, he kept blocking Cruz’s attack in the air.
Cruz hard to dig out a hole and was like a lightning came over.
‘So fast!’
Andrew gritted his teeth and switched to fire.
Bang!
In the sky, flames and lightning bloomed on both sides, like a pair of butterfly wings.
They continued to fight in the sky.
Andrew’s fiery red fire and Cruz’s purple thunder collided with each other. The whole sky was colorful.
Under the enchanted barrier of Red King, any damaged terrain would be restored in a short time.
But the mountain range that had just been rebuilt was destroyed again.
They rushed into the sky at the same time and roared in the sky. The explosive shock wave stirred the clouds into a mess as if an invisible big hand was stirring inside.
The battle couldn’t stop at all.
Andrew and Cruz roared, pouring all the essence and enlightening they had learned into each other.
Their bodies, from marrow to blood, were boiling.
Life and death had already been left behind.
As soon as Andrew was hit by Cruz, Andrew released tens of thousands of fireballs from his hand and knocked Cruz down.
The thunderbolt fell on his body.
The ice column rose from the ground hit Cruz’s crotch and sent him flying into the air.
At this moment, there was only one belief left in both sides’ minds.
That was to defeat his opponent!
Each attack was aimed at killing the opponent.
One hundred moves, two hundred moves.
As long as no one fell, the battle would continue.
Finally!
Bang! Bang! Bang.
The red and purple light split to both sides after a violent collision.
Two mountains shattered in this violent collision.
As the dust dispersed, they staggered to their feet in the two flat mountains.
“Ha-ha!”
Cruz wiped the blood off his face. His eyes were dyed red, but he was still smiling.
He inserted the sword into the ground, held his dislocated left hand, and pushed it up as if he didn’t feel pain.
With a crack, his arm was easily connected.
On the other side, although Andrew didn’t have a fracture, his breath was more disordered than Cruz’s.
His face was also covered with blood and bruises.
The flames covering his body were as erratic as if they would be extinguished at any time.
“That’s awesome, Andrew. You’re my perfect opponent.”
Compared with Cruz’s enthusiasm, Andrew was much colder, “How many punches can I let you down?”
With a click.
Andrew, who was about to clench his fists, heard a strange sound.
He looked down.
The Dragon Extinguishing Hand on his right hand finally couldn’t bear it, and it cracked at this moment.
His left hand was also full of cracks and was about to fall. It seemed that it would disintegrate as long as someone poked it again.
Seeing this, Cruz was stunned and said, “It doesn’t matter? You have lost your weapon.”
Silently putting away the pieces of his Dragon Extinguishing Hand, Andrew said softly, “Thank you.”
Then he took out the Dragon Extinguishing Bandage from the space ring.
Andrew sighed, “It’s time to end this battle.”
The Dragon Extinguishing Bandage wrapped his hands and instantly transformed into the shape of the Dragon Extinguishing Hand.
With a loud bang, Andrew’s magic power rose to 2,600!
“Ha-ha, you have saved your strength?”
“More than one.”
“Yes, but you are right. It’s time to end the fight.”
Cruz drew out his sword and said, “I should go all out, too!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Cruz urged magic power.
God’s Protection
Boom!
Half of the mountain under his feet was smashed into powder.
Cruz’s magic power suddenly doubled.
That power could be said to move mountains and fill the sea, and even the sky seemed to be about to break under this pressure.
A large number of brown runes appeared all over his body, spreading along with his bones and every inch of his skin. His black hair began to fade from the roots to silver in an instant.
A silver halo enveloped his whole body.
Cruz had the blood of God.
After reaching a certain level, a mage of this bloodline could take back part of the power of his previous life.
The power of a God.
Only a small part of it could destroy heaven and earth.
Andrew understood that the battle was fierce. Both of them were in a state of anxiety.
They had done everything they could.
‘It was time for me to win the last round!’
Thinking of this, Andrew didn’t hesitate anymore.
Heavenly Destiny Penetration Skill!
