“Vincent is your name, right?” Ulmer started walking forward. “You’re not half bad. You move well, and your battle experience is also good for someone your age.”“You talk like you lived much longer than me,” Vincent coldly uttered, “but I can tell from your appearance that you are young even though I can’t see your face.”“Well, wisdom doesn’t necessarily come with age,” Ulmer replied. “Some people who lived a hundred years won’t be able to learn things that some could learn before they even turn ten.”“So you’re saying that you fall in that second category.”“Actually, we both do,” Ulmer replied. “However, if you’re planning on marrying that young lady over there. Then you should give up on that idea.”Vincent frowned seriously as Ulmer just pointed at Brianna. “What do you mean? Are you interested in Princess Minerva?”Ulmer didn’t say anything, but his silence was understood differently by Vincent and Brianna.(He’s interested in me?) Brianna stood calmly, but her heart was feelin
“I didn’t come all this way to lose in the final round,” Ulmer said. “I will win this competition, and then… get the thing that the emperor promised he’d do. As for the princess… we’ll see what happens.”“You won’t be able to win this competition even in your dreams,” Vincent blurted.“Why would I dream about it when I know for certain that I am going to win it in reality?” Ulmer retorted. “Soon, you’ll also realize that. None of the participants can stop me even if they all come together.”Ulmer’s words made many people turn against him because it felt like he was disrespecting the other contestants that made it to the final round, and there were two royals in the final round. Naturally, many people did not like what Ulmer was spewing.“I alone am more than enough to destroy you from head to toe,” Vincent once again leaped high into the sky and cut through the clouds and sent them flying down in the shape of leaves that were rumbling and crackling with thunder and lightning. “Etherea
It was a sharp and unbearable pain. Most people would have stopped fighting, but Ulmer had the experience of fighting for decades before he came to this city of systems. He had suffered through many life-ending injuries, so losing an eye was nothing much compared to when he was swallowed by a hydra monster or when he got bitten by a giant crocodile monster.Ulmer’s instinctive response was not to cower in pain but to deliver a counter blow to his opponent.And Ulmer pulled his fist all the way to the back of his head before making it fly toward the opponent.“I can see it coming even with my eyes closed,” Vincent moved his body out of the way, but Ulmer’s fist changed direction midway and pounded his face, punching its way through the invisible barrier system and striking his nose.Vincent’s nose got crushed, and he was sent flying into the wall like a missile. The walls got completely destroyed, and Vincent entered the rest rooms that were under the audience stands.Ulmer stood tall,
Brianna wished that Vincent would deal with the Knight Beater so that she wouldn’t have to fight him. It wasn’t that she was afraid of him, but she didn’t want to reveal her abilities during this competition while everyone was watching.It would do her more harm than good, after all.Ulmer, on the other hand, was walking toward Vincent who raised his right hand high and created a giant silver blue spherical energy ball in which there was a lot of electrical energy swirling through it. The spherical energy looked like the moon itself because it had such a cool glow that was able to lit up the whole colosseum and miles of region all around.Despite the barrier put up by the royal knights, the audience could feel the chilling energy coming from this electrical sphere.“What is this energy?” Mirianne wrapped her arms around her chest because she felt very cold. “I’ve never seen anything like it.” She could feel the tips of her hair freezing. “It’s very dangerous.”“It must be the Moon Sys
Ulmer didn’t want to reveal his abilities as it might give away that he was the one who had caused trouble in many districts.Just by giving away the fact that he could create clones was risking it, so he didn’t want to do more.He wanted to save everything at least until he would fight the one he came to this country for.So, Ulmer very much wanted to defeat Vincent without using any of the great, active abilities he had earned through his clones. But he also could feel the immense power coming from this energy sphere that Vincent had created. What could Vincent possibly do with such a thing other than to cause a major explosion, Ulmer wondered.Just then, Vincent released glowing blue chains of lightning that flew toward Ulmer like living snakes.Ulmer jumped around and dodged from them as he moved all around the battle grounds. He purposely went toward the nobles. Hessia and Felix were able to dodge the chains, but many nobles couldn’t. They were caught in the mouths of these snake
While many people were anxiously or excitedly watching Ulmer getting shocked and burned inside the ethereal energy sphere, Oscar was eating salted peanuts. “Mm… I wonder how he’s going to get out of that. It won’t be easy even for me.”Neodus was grinning. “Yeah. This is what I wanted to see. Roast that bastard to death.” He was already planning on taking all of Ulmer’s possessions after his death, so he was loving what he was seeing. (I’m sure he has many systems in his possession. I’ll take the two most important systems and then give the rest to Vincent. That should keep him satisfied.)Neodus knew that Vincent wouldn’t protest against that because Vincent wanted to become the emperor next. Compared to becoming the emperor, losing a couple of systems was nothing, especially because he would get his hands on the legendary Emperor System, which was passed down only to the emperors of Syslon.“I can hear his cries, Son,” Regina snickered. “Make that bastard cry even louder so I can he
Vincent was not expecting Ulmer to do something as ridiculous as swallowing all of his ethereal energy sphere and then vomit it back at him.Because Ulmer spat out all that energy, it came with enough force to destroy even a thick diamond wall, but Vincent instinctively raised his hand and blocked it with his fist which had many rings.The silvery ring on his forefinger shone and absorbed all the energy that came at Vincent.As a result, nothing happened.“Wow,” everyone looked amazed, and many people clapped in excitement and awe.But neither Vincent nor Ulmer were in the mood to feel the crowd. They were in their own world, where they were looking for ways to defeat the other person. To be exact, Vincent was looking to kill, whereas Ulmer was looking to just defeat his current opponent and then move onto the next one.Ulmer believed that defeating the best young talent in the kingdom was necessary to prove a point. He had already told everyone that he was going to win, and his life
Vincent flew straight down toward Ulmer like a thunderbolt. “Celestial Punch!”Ulmer almost punched at the opponent, shouting, “Spirit Breaker!”Vincent’s fist released an energy that vibrated and exploded like a bomb that could destroy everything around, including even the bacteria in the air. However, Ulmer’s fist blasted its way through Vincent’s attack and struck his face, crushed his face and flattened it as Vincent got sent flying like a dart into the distance.Vincent’s body burst through the barrier put up by the royal knights and kept flying farther than people’s eyes could see.The faces of everybody froze in utter silence as nobody had expected to see something like this right after Vincent had released his Celestial Lion mode, something which everybody in the nation feared because of its reputation.A bright golden energy was covering Ulmer’s fist.“What’s that energy cloaking his fist?” Hessia frowned. “It is golden? I’ve never seen anything like that.”The energy around
