Slaughter God’s Journey to Immortality - C128
Although little Luna was already a fourteen-year-old girl, she was still very innocent. She raised her head and asked, “Big Brother Werther, when you were fighting with His Highness, what kind of golden god did you summon?” The two playful women immediately quieted down and pricked up their ears. This was also a question that had been bothering them for a long time. Werther smiled. “That, that’s my god of fighting.” Luna asked in surprise, “Big Brother Werther, you’re already a Sword Saint? Wouldn’t that be flying? Great! Let’s fly together and play!
Werther forced a smile. “My situation is a little special. Although I have mastered the art of boxing, I have yet to fully open all of my acupoints.” However, in at most a year’s time, I can become a genuine Sword Saint. At that time, I will play with you, a master mage, okay? ” Luna smiled sweetly and agreed. Sophia and Vivian looked at each other doubtfully, but they weren’t stupid enough to ask about each other’s secrets. The three women dined at the Count’s mansion until the afternoon before leaving. Only after sending them off did Werther truly relax. He used his True Qi to heal his damaged fleshly body and soul.
As expected, the Holy See sent out the news that because of her severe injuries, His Highness Garner had been sent back to the Holy Mountain to recuperate. She could only sadly withdraw from the competition. This meant that he no longer had any hope of fighting for the top two. And only Werther and the mysterious female swordsman Marlene were left as well. In three days, Werther would be in the arena, fighting against Marlene, who had never revealed her true face.
Similar to Mila, this Marlene was also very mysterious. In almost every match, she would defeat her opponent within a few moves. Although she had revealed her outstanding strength, she did not have any useful information. In the black market, the two powerhouses were split up, and their guesses into who would win and who would lose were in a 1: 1 ratio.
When Werther heard this news, he only laughed it off. Surprisingly, in his hand was a diamond card used to travel across the continent. These cards were customized for big clients by some very powerful merchants. They had complete defensive magic arrays, so it was almost impossible for them to copy these cards. These cards were common across the continent, and could help customers avoid the trouble of bringing large amounts of cash with them.
It turned out that Werther had secretly borrowed over a million gold coins from his father right from the start of the tournament, using the identity of someone else to bet on his victory. In the beginning, he earned a very small portion, but in the end, in the match with Ghana, he bet all one and a half million gold coins on himself. In the beginning, he earned a very small amount of money, but in the end, in the match with Ghana, he bet all one and a half million gold coins on himself. “Hmm, it seems like it’s time to bet all the treasures on that Marlene. After I’ve collected enough, it’s time to stop.”
There had been a conversation between father and son after Werther woke up. James asked, “How are your injuries?” Would he still be able to last until the end of the last match? I heard that Marlene is also not to be underestimated, and she’s probably a Sword Saint as well. ” Werther smiled. “It doesn’t matter. As far as I’m concerned, the match is already over.” He told his father about his plan. James looked at him strangely, “You’re really able to resist the temptation of becoming the champion of the Magic Martial Competition and the number one expert among the young experts of the continent?” Seeing his son nod affirmatively, he could only shake his head and sigh, “Forget it, since it is your own decision, I will not stop you. But you need to be mentally prepared, as soon as the competition is over, His Majesty will appoint you with a major mission. ”
Werther was startled. “What mission?” James said, “Calm down the north and fight with the Ice Barbarians!” Werther immediately complained. He was used to the free and unrestrained nature of the crane, so he subconsciously wanted to stay away from this kind of political war game. James could tell what his son was thinking. He said with a stern expression, “Werther, you should know that your mission in the future will be very big. Countless lives will be in your hands. And right now, our Klein Kingdom is at a critical juncture of life and death. We need you to stand up for us and share the burdens. This is not an order, but a request from my father, can you agree to it? ”
Now that things had come to this, no matter how unwilling Werther was, he could only brace himself and agree. James was very pleased, “Very good. Once the competition is over, your orders will be announced. With your reputation having been established, others will not have too much of an opinion on you. I will assign you five thousand elite cavalry to train with. We will set off in a month! ”
Three days later in the Imperial Capital’s competition arena. This Great Devil Martial Competition finally welcomed the last battle, and it was also a competition of strength between the two top young masters of the Grace Mainland. Naturally, there was no need to talk about how passionate the crowd was. The members of the Royal Family were all present, the two principals of the Demon Martial Academy, and various other nobles. Caesar’s minister of war, perhaps because the people who joined him did not have Caesar’s superior skills, did not look well. The Bishop of Cantor, who had to be there for every match, was absent. It was said that he had brought the seriously injured Genarr back to the Holy Mountain for treatment overnight. Surprisingly, the person who replaced him in spectating the battle was the Arch-Cardinal Owen. This old man had a gentle smile on his face, like an old man on the street. If it wasn’t for his red robe, one wouldn’t notice anything about him. He and Anthony sat in the royal box, talking to Klein VII.
Werther didn’t have the slightest interest in these people. He had already planned to come here, and today was only a formality. He glanced at the prize on the main platform in the middle, a dragon egg, a sword of darkness, and a holy weapon. He walked up to the stage with light steps. When he appeared, it immediately caused a sensation among the audience. Countless people were shouting his name, as if he was the hero who had saved the world.
Marlene, who was wearing a black cloak, walked up to Angele slowly. Standing face to face with Werther. He couldn’t see her face clearly, but he could see her eyes through the cloak. Her gaze was strange. There was no surging fighting spirit in her eyes, nor was there any determination to win. There was only a dull look, and there was even a hint of curiosity in her eyes. Werther greeted him with the etiquette of a noble. Marlene did not move or speak. The two of them were in a deadlock for a moment.
The referee of this final match wasn’t an ordinary mage. He was unexpectedly Law Scholar Bruni, the dean of Klein Magic Academy. He looked at the two contestants and smiled, “Today is the final round of the finals. I hope you two can give us a good match. Bless you. “Then, are you ready?” “Lightly raising his right hand, he suddenly dropped it!” The competition begins! ”
In a split-second, Marlene’s aura immediately rose to a terrifying level, leaving behind an afterimage where she stood. She dashed toward Werther with incomparable speed! So fast! This was Werther’s only feeling! But he had to be faster! She activated her zhenqi beneath her feet and directly retreated 20 meters away, barely dodging one of her attacks!
Marlene started to attack, but Werther froze her with a single word. Even Bruni carefully wiped his ears, as if he hadn’t heard clearly. He asked Werther in a disbelieving tone, “What did you say just now?” Werther smiled faintly. His smile was unspeakably vulgar. “I said, I admit defeat!” He then repeated with a voice that resounded through the entire stadium, “I, admit defeat!” BOOM! The entire venue went into a frenzy! Many people did not understand what he meant at first, but only later did they come to their senses. First, they whispered amongst themselves, and then they began to curse in a manner that could topple mountains and overturn seas! Bastard! I bet everything I have on you! “You actually admitted defeat!” Vittlan! You trash, you actually admitted defeat to a woman!
All sorts of obscenities filled the air above the arena. At first, Werther only smiled in response, but then his face gradually darkened. He said in an unquestionable tone, “Firstly, I fought with Ghana, and my injuries have yet to completely recover. I don’t want to risk my life for a title of number one to destroy the foundation for my advancement in the future. Second! I did not ask you to go and place your bets. This is only because your greedy hearts are playing a trick. Following that, a thunderous voice burst out from his mouth, “If you don’t submit to me, then come down! I’ll wait! ”
This sentence was more useful than anything else. The clamor from the audience immediately lessened by half. Most of them were just making a ruckus. They were afraid of Werther’s toughness. Immediately, many people began to defend Werther. “That’s right, Werther’s injury hasn’t fully healed yet and he’s going to fight with his life on the line again. What do we do if he breaks? “Who is in charge?” You greedy devils, your wives and children aren’t even full yet, and you’re actually using money to gamble! He’s even more of a bastard than the devil! ” The clamorous sounds rose and fell, but gradually died down.
Werther looked at Marlene and smiled. “Congratulations, Contestant Marlene. You’ve won.” “Why?” Marlene asked slowly. Her voice was incredibly clear, but it was different from Vivian’s comfortable voice. Her voice seemed to be mixed with pieces of ice, giving off a refreshing feeling.
Somehow, Werther couldn’t bear to lie to her. He lowered his voice. “You want to hear the truth?” Seeing that Marlene immediately nodded, “Actually, the reason why I want to compete is because of that Dark Sword. Of course, I have to give up on the finals now. Otherwise, if I were to win against you, I would have to grab that dragon egg and go home.”
