Chapter 418: Alex vs Zhou Kingdom Part IV
418 Alex vs Zhou Kingdom Part IV
Alex took a deep breath. He did not realize it in battle before, but surprisingly, he managed to make him use 30 percent of his energy. He already fought four people before and only used twenty percent of his energy in total. And to think fighting in equal terms would be this exhausting.
If he revealed his Sword King ident.i.ty and power, he might only need to use around ten percent or even one hit since his opponent did not know about it yet. However, doing so would put him at a great disadvantage as his enemies might have some time to think of a counter for that.
So, revealing his Sword King power should only happen in the seventh or last fight as his opponent would not have time to think up a plan. But the next match was only his sixth match, so he would need to come up with another plan for this.
He looked at the next person from the Zhou Kingdom. The next person was an old man with a long white beard. His eyes were profound and full of wisdom.
"It seems he failed to kill you, this is why we can"t trust the younger generation that much for the glory of Zhou Kingdom. They don"t possess enough weight." The old man said. "This, old man, Wumba, will kill you with this hand."
"You talk too much. Just use that idiotic pill and be done with it." Alex snorted.
"You… Since you want to die that much, then I will fulfill your wish." Wumba roared as he took out his glaive.
Alex took a deep breath before he released both domains again. Wumba also released his glaive domain, but as expected, it only reached the level of 50 meters domain. When three domains clashed, his glaive domain was suppressed by Alex"s tyrannical domains. It was like two adults fighting a single kid.
Even after getting his domain suppressed, there was no change in Wumba"s expression. He just simply laughed, "Domain… they said the domain could show how big one"s progress is in a weapon path, but I feel this is lacking. After all, Domain does not have a big feature like Intent. You might be able to weaken an enemy"s attack with a domain or track someone"s movement in your Sword Domain.
"But people also said, in your domain, you are the king. However, all of that, I find them to be lacking. A domain is useless as it is not more important than the Intent itself. Don"t you find it right, Rising Genius?
"Just look at your domains, both of them are made from your intents and nothing else. This is why I separate myself from Domain and focus on my Intent. And after acc.u.mulating many years, I came up with an answer, and this is the answer…"
Wumba said as he raised glaive to the top. Soon enough, a spark of Glaive intent suddenly covered his glaive. The spark was not something like a normal person used, it was a spark of concentrated Glaive Intent. The people could feel the sharpness on the glaive. They felt their skin was pierced by that boundless Glaive Intent.
Many people were dumbfounded with this. Wumba continued, "With this strength, I shall reach Glaive King Realm."
"What? Glaive King Realm, he said?"
"He has reached that stage?"
"Zhou Kingdom is really worthy of its reputation."
Many people kept spouting praises after praises. Only three people realized he was wrong. First would be Honda Sana, who was a Sword King. She looked at him like looking at a dog that did not know a diamond in front of him.
The second person was Elder Dolf. Like many others, he had searched the record about the Weapon King realm. However, others might be convinced about this, but it was useless for him. After all, he already saw a bonafide Sword King with his own eyes, and he was also looking at the current Sword King of Heavenly Sword Sect, standing in the arena.
Alex, as the third person who knew about it, just looked at him with pity. He said, "You are truly foolish."
He did not know why but his Sword Domain and Spear Domain was telling him to show what it meant to be a real Sword King and Spear King. The fierceness of Sword Intent and Spear Intent filled his eyes. It might be pride, or it might be something else.
But he felt his Sword Intent, and Spear Intent seemed to be alive. It was even trying to fuse together if Alex did not show him.
"System, what is this? Why are my Intents raging like this?"
[Because of the fusion of both intents, your intents finally gain a bit of intelligence. Albeit, it is only as an instinct, and there is no way to train them. Unless you completely fuse them, you will get a rebound like this in the future.]
"..." Alex was surprised. "Why did you never tell me this?"
[No opportunity to explain it to you. Besides, it will be a bit too early for you to fuse them. If possible, I recommend you do it when you reach Martial King and impart your soul in both intents. This way, it will eliminate the intents" intelligence.]
[Ah, don"t think it is like your cheat power or something, alright? Not everything that has consciousness is good, like the stories inside your head. Most of them are something you need to eliminate.]
[A good example of this is from your Home. If Artificial Intelligence is given enough power to let them think and evolve by themselves, they might try to hurt humans or something like that. So, if you let these two consciousnesses live, it might take control of you at some point.]
In fact, the system only told him the problem that his past life faced. It was such a mess when the previous Alex tried to birth these two consciousnesses. It became more and more like a Heart Demon instead of his power. So, she suggested this reason.
In his past life, she remembered that Alex sometimes got taken over by the consciousness because he was too late to eliminate them. When he fought for a long time, he sometimes forgot everything and just fought everyone in his way, no matter if they were friends or foes.
She did not want to see something like that again, so she wanted Alex to eliminate that curse as soon as possible because it pained her heart so much. Not only her but Anna and Anya as well as his friends or the people he protected. They could not bear to see him that way.
[Mission: Fuse Two Intents and Eliminate the Consciousnesses.
Reward: Premium Ticket x5
Description: Don"t let power control you. Fight!]
It might be her selfishness to put a mission like this and even use a worthy reward for that. But if Alicia and Firia also knew about this, they would suggest this too, even if that meant Alex would lose a part of his power. After all, that berserk power was like Leoz"s True Spirit Body. The longer he fought, the more powerful he got. However, this came with a certain risk as he could not recognize his friends and foes.
And she felt the rational Alex would be better than a demon like Alex.
"I see. So, I just need to fuse my intents, right?"
[Yes.]
"Still, now that I am forced to reveal my Sword King realm, my plan becomes a bit messed up."
[You can just kill this person and suppress the second person before he could think up with a solution. As for the third person… just spam your Fire on him and roast him… literally. Remember, you are not fighting alone. There are still Sherry and Kyle. Just make sure you kill them as soon as possible to avoid any suspicion and then leave the arena.]
"... This is not a game where you can spam magic… Well, fighting with Sherry and Kyle is cheating, but not that I care about it. This battle is either you live or you die. And as long as it is not found out, then no one knows you are cheating. Besides, there is no rule to begin with." Alex pondered for a while. He thought her plan was good enough for the time being and decided to proceed with it.
Suddenly, Wumba interrupted his conversation with his system.
"Hahaha… look at you. You are calling me foolish, but you are tongue-tied this whole time. You are pathetic." Wumba laughed.
He was just a bit occupied with his system. Since the match did not start after the announcer looked at his complicated expression, Alex decided to talk about it for a bit.
"So, look at you, Glaive King? I don"t think so." Alex sighed as he shrunk both of his domains.
In others" perspective, it looked like Alex recalled his domain because he could not fight the reasoning of Wumba. However, only one person could see what really happened. It was Honda Sana. The moment she saw this, she stood up in surprise. "He… he is really…"
Her legs suddenly felt weak as she fell to her seat. She murmured, "As expected of Lady Song Yu. Her eyes were as good as ever. Even though she was hiding in the Wilow Continent, she slowly made an acquaintance, and it was a monster like him. He was still in his early twenties, and he already became a Sword King and Spear King, no one in Northern Continent managed to do so…"
She saw Alex compressing his domains rather than recalling his domain. The compressed domains flowed toward his sword and spear. With both domains stood side by side, even a rank 4 weapon could not stop it if it was clas.h.i.+ng head-on.
"Hmph, it seems you have given up. I will let you kill yourself to save your honor." Wumba snorted.
"Look, this is why you are so foolish." Alex shook his head as he looked at the announcer, telling him to start.
Wumba did not use his Berserk Pill as he was confident in his Glaive King Realm. So, he only nodded at the announcer.
"Match Start!"
Alex and Wumba jumped forward at the same time. Wumba swung his glaive while Alex swung his sword.
"Heaven Breaking Sword."
"Glaive Terror."
…
In the Heavenly Sword Sect"s team,
Charya was roaring, "We should stop him!"
The others also agreed with her as Alex still had a great future. He could not go down in this tournament.
"To think you are fussing about this matter, Elder Charya. You are the closest to him, and you don"t believe in him?"
"I believe in him, but this is a different matter as his opponent is a Glaive King," Charya shouted while clenching her fists.
"So, you don"t know about it, huh…" Dolf Kolk sighed.
"What do you mean?"
"You don"t need to worry about him as that Wumba or something is just a faker. There is no way a dog could measure the worth of a diamond." Dolf said.
"A faker?" The others were baffled. And Charya suddenly figured out what he meant, "Don"t tell me…"
"Yeah…" Dolf nodded. "Alexander Sirius is…"
…
In the arena,
There was a big difference between the Concentrated Intent and Compressed Domain. If concentrating an intent to a single point was like a "10+10=20 equation", then the compression domain was like a "10x10=100 equation." After all, the domain itself was already full of intent.
When both weapons collided, it was like a normal clash, albeit the Glaive Intent suddenly disappeared the moment it clashed with Alex"s Sword.
"Wha-!"
The sharpness of Alex"s Sword, as well as Alex"s strength, suddenly cut through both the glaive as well as Wumba"s head. Thankfully, he was too prideful of his strength and did not take the Berserk Pill, so Alex did not have that much resistance from his side.
In just one clash, the victor had been decided, and Wumba even could not finish his shock before his head flying. Alex said, "Glaive King? Mediocre."
