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
“I might not remember you, but I’ll do you a favor and end this quickly!” Brianna dashed toward Ulmer and swiftly attacked him with her twin crystal white daggers. “Phantom Raze!”Her dagger motion was extremely smooth and did not stop for a second as she spun on her toes like a marvelous dancing belle and went for vital spots.She did not have a single wasted movement. She was like a master of dagger arts, and her skills were good enough to impress every knight that was witnessing her right now.However, despite how swiftly and slickly she was moving like an expert assassin at work, Ulmer was able to barely keep himself out of her dagger range.His movements reminded everyone how he avoided Vincent’s attacks only a minute ago. He moved his whole body as one and did not make any exaggerated movements. He made just enough movement to perfectly dodge Brianna’s attacks. His center of mass stayed very stable throughout. His fighting style was completely different from Brianna.Brianna see
“Dark Dagger Strike!” Brianna threw a dagger first to get Ulmer’s attention, and she secretly released the second dagger in a curving manner, controlling its trajectory with the help of a string.The dagger flew like a lightning bolt and nearly struck Ulmer’s temple.Ulmer managed to catch the dagger at the last second. His hand started bleeding. “That was close. How did you control the dagger midway?”Brianna flicked the string, which sent a pulse of energy along the string.Ulmer still didn’t notice the string, but he felt the noise of the vibration passing through the string. He instinctively tossed the dagger away, and it immediately exploded.“Damn,” Ulmer frowned as he deflected the pieces of the dagger that came flying at him. “The dagger blasted into pieces? What sort of magic is this?”Brianna formed two new daggers and threw them at him. “Infinite Parallel Claw!”The daggers suddenly multiplied in number and became hundreds as they all zoomed in on him.Ulmer immediately pun
Brianna summoned a dagger and threw it into the audience. Alveron caught it and observed the words that briefly appeared on the knife.Alveron then stood and walked away.“Where’s he going?”“Did the princess send him a message or something?”As the crowd wondered, Brianna stepped toward Ulmer. “They call you Knight Beater, but what is your name?”“What makes you think you’re qualified to know my name?” Ulmer asked her back.Brianna angrily smiled. “You know who I am.”“Just because you’re the princess, you think you can do whatever you want and get away with it?” Ulmer blurted. “What a joke. Don’t you know of the saying that the greatest among you needs to be the best servant? You do not seem to have any humble qualities in you, seeing how you didn’t even introduce yourself and were yet asking for my name. Is this how your parents raised you? Or is this how all royals are groomed? To be so full of themselves all the time?”Many people in the audience stands gasped at Ulmer’s words. T
The yellowish orange light coming from Brianna’s daggers was giving off a strange frequency that affected Ulmer even though he was standing at a distance from her.“It really feels like I’m standing under the sun in late summer,” Ulmer uttered. “My skin feels like it’s burning. That’s a lot of concentrated energy she’s releasing.” He released golden spiritual energy through his fists as well. “I wasn’t expecting her to be this strong, but this is good, too. I will feel satisfied after I beat her.”[Just be careful so you won’t lose.] Dove warned.“I don’t plan on losing to anybody, especially her,” Ulmer replied and rushed toward her.“Meteor Strike!” Brianna waved her dagger and sent an arc-like slash toward Ulmer. It reached him in the tenth of a second, He jumped and dodged it while keeping his body parallel to the ground just for that brief moment. The arc-shaped slash went onto strike the colosseum wall and cut its way through the barrier put up by the royal knights and then then
A few months back.“I haven’t given my heart to anyone before. You’re the first one I loved,” Ulmer was talking with Brianna through the laptop.“Ha-ha, you talk like you didn’t even love anyone else, including your parents,” Brianna laughed a little.“The first person I truly loved is YOU, Brianna,” Ulmer said. “The sky is blue, yes, but I see more blue in your eyes.”Brianna smiled pleasantly from hearing his words. “And?”“Honey is sweet, but I think your name is sweeter than honey. I always scold myself because I’m unable to speak to you face to face everyday,” Ulmer added. “But then I always feel happy that I’m at least able to talk to you and hear you speak. I can’t wait to find a job close to where you live. Then we can finally live together.”“I’m looking forward to that day, too.” Brianna blew a flying kiss to him.He kissed her back.After the video call ended, Ulmer took a deep breath and smiled. “You are my happiness. I can’t stay far from you for long. I will get a job an
