Chapter 40: 40 - 1 vs 13

Surrounded by thirteen mages, there was not the slightest trace of fear on King’s face, only excitement.

What was the point of showing off while fighting a dog? There was only the protagonist for the audience to watch. Too few!

Now that there was a whole group of ’enemies’ who also doubled as ’audience’ here, King’s mood became better than ever.

Based on a reader’s experience, King was certain that these people combined were only as strong as that stupid dog Cerberus, thanks to their advantage in intelligence. To him, they were not even worthy of being called a threat.

"Everyone, be careful. This guy who uses a sword has abilities similar to a mage. Don’t treat him like an ordinary swordsman."

Rudy Grey immediately spoke up and ordered the younger members. He was the oldest and also the strongest person here.

They were all members of the Grey clan, led by Rudy. He was a rank III mage with an extremely formidable lightning attribute. The one who had just ambushed Elias and nearly killed him was him.

"Be careful? Do you think you’re even qualified to be careful around me? Don’t think that just because you can stand in front of me, it means you’re qualified to stand on equal ground with me."

The tip of the sword pointed straight at Rudy, but King’s eyes did not even bother looking at Rudy. Instead, he looked at Rudy’s younger members in the opposite direction.

This blatant humiliation made Rudy so furious that his beard stood on end. The sparks of electricity surrounding Rudy’s wand kept crackling like a huge power pole that had short-circuited.

Rank III compared to rank IX was nothing but trash, but in this remote place, the Grey clan was one of the most prestigious clans. From the moment Rudy was born until now, he had only ever known how to humiliate others and had never seen anyone dare to humiliate him.

Rudy had already assessed King’s strength long ago. Being able to defeat Cerberus was indeed not bad, but because Rudy had seen Elias, he thought King had many teammates who had died rather than having fought Cerberus alone.

With only this level of strength, Rudy naturally did not think King could defeat them.

"You’re going too far!"

Not the kind of villain who only knew how to trade words, Rudy shouted and immediately waved his wand. A powerful bolt of lightning shot straight toward King at an extremely high speed.

The lightning attack shot straight toward King while King was looking in the opposite direction. At the moment he attacked, although he did not say it out loud, Rudy’s confident eyes made it seem as if King had already fallen to the ground.

[Master!]

The system cried out loudly inside King’s head. The situation was extremely urgent, but for some reason, King had his back turned to an enemy at the same rank as him.

Contrary to the system’s worry, the corners of King’s mouth curled up slightly. His eyes were not looking at Rudy, yet they revealed a clear look as if everything was within his calculations.

The moment the lightning was about to hit King, the aura surrounding his body suddenly shone brilliantly, making him look like the only sun in this dungeon.

The powerful current struck the spiritual power surrounding King’s body, then spun around his body before disappearing. Not even a single hair on King was damaged, let alone causing him any injury.

"What a pity... My spiritual power can insulate electricity."

King turned his head to look at Rudy and stuck out his tongue. This extremely provoking look made Rudy’s wrinkled face turn ashen and ugly.

What did he mean by his spiritual power could insulate electricity? Nonsense! Clearly, King’s spiritual power had some kind of ridiculously overpowered property.

The main reason was that there was simply too much spiritual power, so Rudy’s attack could not pierce through it. Not only was there a lot of it, but it also spread in every direction without a single blind spot.

King had learned this trick from Adrian to show off, but if he pushed it a little too far, it would actually become armor, although the consumption was huge. That instant display of power just now consumed spiritual power no differently from using a divine skill.

Although it was really stupid from an ordinary person’s way of thinking, King’s Heavenly Dao transformation state was absurdly powerful. Against these small fry, he did not need to take things seriously and could win with just basic swordsmanship, so he used his spiritual power so casually like this.

"Hmph, electricity insulation? If you’re so confident, then keep insulating electricity for me. Everyone, attack together!"

Rudy threw out a mocking remark and called everyone to launch a full attack. Water, fire, ice, lightning... All kinds of different magic shot at King at the same time.

"Hahahaha... You really are a bunch of trash. Your pathetic strength can’t do anything to me."

Facing countless attacks that lit up the dark corridor as brightly as the sun, King just stood there with his head raised and laughed arrogantly.

Seeing King’s arrogant attitude, the mages did not say anything and just continued this ’meaningless action’. Although they said nothing, their eyes contained mockery, waiting for a chance to burst out.

They were not brats, so they clearly understood that although King was laughing mockingly, the mana he was losing was increasing more and more. If this continued, it would soon be completely depleted.

No one here was afraid that King had rank IV, rank V, or even higher strength because Rudy had already implied it when he gave the order. Since Rudy called for a full attack, it meant they could win. This meant King was at most an advanced rank III or a weak rank IV.

The light radiating from King was becoming fainter and fainter. At first, it was like the midday sun, but now it was only like a street lamp.

[Master! This isn’t good. The spiritual power in your body is dropping rapidly. You’ve already used up nearly half of it...]

The system hurriedly reported, but right after finishing its report, King curled his lips into a smile, leaving it stunned. It began to rethink things...

Those mages were attacking enthusiastically as if they had really encountered an idiot willing to stand there as a punching bag for them. They just stood still and kept using magic, yet their entire bodies were already drenched in sweat.

When they saw the light radiating from King getting weaker and weaker, the corners of these people’s mouths had already curled up very clearly. If King no longer had any aura radiating from him, they would bare their teeth and laugh for sure.
