Chapter 313: Inner Disciple Tournament 18-Explanation
313 Inner Disciple Tournament 18-Explanation
"Sword…"
"Spear…"
"…Domain!"
All people were shocked by what happened. Alex was able to use Sword Domain, and Spear Domain alone was already shocking. But to use it simultaneously. They never heard something like this appeared in history.
Maybe because the shock that Alex brought to them was too much that they even forgot about this possibility. Or they simply refused to believe this possibility, consciously or unconsciously.
But as soon as Alex released both domains at the same time. They could only believe it.
"What!" Eric was shocked too. Unfortunately, the match had started, and Alex never planned to pull his punch because his opponent was shocked by him.
Alex jumped forward and swung his sword.
"Immovable Step."
As expected of the furious Eric, even though he was still shocked by Alex. He managed to raise his sword to block Alex"s sword.
"Kh!" Unfortunately, blocking Alex"s attack was easier said than done. The swing just now managed to make a little crater beneath Eric"s feet.
Alex used this chance to thrust his spear toward Eric.
"Quick Silver."
"!!!" Upon seeing that, Eric jumped to the side. He wanted to regain his composure from the shock that Alex gave. So, he made the distance with this.
Alex did not let him. He immediately summoned twenty swords and made them fly toward Eric Kasmanan.
Eric kept dodging to the side and swung his sword.
"Thundering Bear Charge!"
A giant bear suddenly appeared from his sword and charged toward Alex"s swords.
The clash between the bear and Alex"s twenty swords were nerve-wracking. All of them were covered by sword intent, making them even more fierce.
"Roar!"
The bear from Eric"s sword was even capable of roaring. Some swords managed to stop the bear while the others were slapped to the wall or ground by the bear, until one moment when one of the swords managed to pierce the bear"s throat.
"Boom!"
The bear suddenly exploded and blasted away the swords that pierce him. Alex immediately tried to regain control of his swords. But as expected of Eric, he did not let him do so.
He suddenly charged toward Alex while swinging his sword.
"Clang!"
Alex received Eric"s sword with his spear. He then swung his sword toward Eric.
"Immovable Step."
He even boosted his power with the Immovable Step.
When Eric saw that, he slid his sword from the spear and blocked it with his sword. Unfortunately, Alex was still too powerful with his Immovable Step. He used every bit of his four dragon strength to blow Eric away.
"Boom!"
Eric crashed to the wall. The smoke appeared from the dust and covered him.
Alex did not care about that since he could clearly see Eric"s position with his Spirit Eyes. He controlled his twenty swords once again and plunged them on Eric.
But he suddenly got surprised there was a pill with a red energy appearing on Eric"s hand. That red energy was really familiar as he thought he had seen that from somewhere.
When an image suddenly flashed on his mind, he immediately narrowed his eyes. He precisely knew what that pill was.
Alex would need to win as soon as possible. His swords were flying toward him. Unfortunately, it was too late.
"Thundering Bear Charge!"
The brown bear that was made from Spiritual Energy and Sword Intent once again clashed with his swords. But surprisingly, the bear knocked all the swords away.
After knocking Alex"s swords away, the bear then charged toward Alex.
"Tch!" Alex clicked his tongue, noticing the serious matter. He waved his sword, and a sword wave flew toward the bear.
"Seven Stars Cut."
With the powerful Seven Stars Cut, it undoubtedly managed to cut the bear.
"Boom!"
Unfortunately, the bear once again exploded, and it blasted the Seven Stars Cut. If it was a normal Thundering Bear Charge, it should not be able to destroy his Seven Stars Cut.
He seemed to have underestimated this Berserk Pill. Alex took a look at Eric"s energy carefully. Although the spark on his energy was indeed surprising, he was even more surprised when he saw Eric"s current energy.
Although Eric did not break through to Martial Lord, his Spiritual Energy alone was around 2-Star if not 3-Star Martial Lord. Alex started feeling something bad would happen.
When Eric appeared back in the arena, his appearance changed. Eric"s appearance looked like a demon. His white eyes turned to black while his black eyes turned to red. There was a reddish color below his eyes. According to Alex"s memory, blood should come out from his eyes, and he wiped it.
But the most troublesome thing was that Eric had the same energy as Martial Lord. Alex was frowning as he knew the situation turned bad.
Alex looked at Eric"s Spiritual Energy, and surprisingly, the energy was berserk. Still, it was not as much as what happened to Zhou Soldiers.
Alex could not understand what happened. The possibility of survival after this would be much higher.
"What?" Charya rose from her seat. At first, after she advanced to 9-Star Martial Lord, she was surprised to see Anna as she was not familiar with her. But after Song Yu explained it to her, she calmed down and flew toward this place with the others.
But after seeing Eric"s Spiritual Energy increased exponentially. She dropped her jaw as she could not understand what just happened.
"His power suddenly rose to Martial Lord level?" Even Song Yu was shocked by this.
"Alex, that is Berserk Pill." Suddenly, a sound transmission came into his head. After seeing that, Anna sweatdropped and sent a thought transmission to Alex.
But since he was too occupied to use Anna"s card. He only nodded his head, telling her he knew.
A thought flashed in his mind when he heard Anna. Anna said she could control the soldiers because of the blood pills. But Eric did not have any blood pills. He thought there might be some relations in that.
The energy was not as rampage as the Zhou Soldiers was because Eric never had any blood pills. Because of that, his energy had yet to be contaminated by that vile red energy. That was his speculation.
He took a deep breath. It seemed he panicked for a second. Even though Eric"s energy had increased to the Martial Lord level, it was not like he was a Martial Lord. If Eric became a Martial Lord, he might need to use his Fire and Array to fight him. But this situation did not require him to do that.
His expression turned to calm.
"You are going to die in a few minutes. Even if you manage to beat me, you will not be able to have revenge." Alex said coldly, trying to mess up with his mind. Of course, Alex was bluffing. According to his Spirit Eyes, Eric should not die from that. He might suffer some severe injury or might be crippled, but he will not die from this.
"Hmph!" Eric did not care about that as he disappeared again.
Alex swung his sword to his front, and suddenly Eric appeared while swinging his sword.
"Clang!" The sword collided. Alex felt the power within Eric and thought he was going to lose in this exchange.
"Immovable Step."
He will not let Eric do what he wanted. He immediately used his Immovable Step to fight power with power. And stopped his swing.
"Double Strike!" Eric also used his Martial Art. He suddenly swung his sword twice on Alex"s sword.
"Boom!" The moment they realized it, Alex had crashed into the wall. As soon as Eric used the "Double Strike," Alex was blown away.
In Charya"s room, Song Yu asked out loud, "What is that ridiculous power?"
"It is the power of Berserk Pill." Anna suddenly said.
"!!!" They were confused as they never knew that term. Only Putri knew about this as she said, "What? Berserk Pill? But that pill is-!"
"No, it is indeed a Berserk Pill. Just look at his appearance. It is obvious to see. You also experienced that battlefield. You surely knew about their change of appearance… White Eyes turned to black while black eyes turned to red. The one who consumed the berserk pill looked like a demon. Although I can feel the aura from Berserk Pill, it is not enough to confirm it. But Alex also confirmed it, so it must be a Berserk Pill." Anna said.
"…" Putri sweatdropped. She knew what kind of terror of that Berserk Pill.
"But, I am wondering where he could get that pill…" Anna said while glancing at Putri.
"…" Putri"s body shook. She could think the reason why Eric had that Berserk Pill.
"You know the reason, aren"t you?" Anna narrowed her eyes.
Putri gulped down before explaining it to her. "Indeed. After the war was over, the kingdom ordered an investigation about this pill along with the Zhou Kingdom. But rather than explaining what kind of pill, they distributed the pills to eight prominent families so they could grasp a better picture of the pill.
"My… No, the Makmur Family also received the pill. And I believe, the Kasmanan Family also received it. The pill must come to his hand after that."
"d.a.m.n, that kingdom! Did they trust the other families that much, or were they just a fool? No, they must be out of their mind. How dare they trouble him once more. We truly need to erase the problem to the root. If not, they will come back to haunt us!
"Kasmanan Family is not enough. It is better to raze the entire Southern Kingdom to the ground!" Anna said out of rage.
Song Yu and the others were confused with Anna"s and Putri"s conversation. But Song Yu did not pa.s.s the details. "Kasmanan Family is not enough? Do not tell me the one who ma.s.sacred the Kasmanan Family was-!"
Anna looked at her and smiled coldly.
"You-!" Song Yu was surprised beyond belief when she knew Alex was the one who ma.s.sacred the entire Kasmanan Family. Even Charya would not be able to do it.
But the one who shocked the most by the news was Putri. She never thought Alex was the one who ma.s.sacred Eric"s family. If she heard about this before she knew she was betrayed, she might try to kill him out of rage.
She only had one thought in her mind. Even though she did not feel any hatred toward Alex even after knowing this, she still should ask this question. "Why?"
Anna said, according to her experience and a bit of Alex"s memory, "Oh. I already expected this. Since you have been betrayed by them, you will not hold any hatred for Alex. Alex had been worrying about this since he did not know how to tell you. Anyway, this is perfect. I will tell you about it.
"This started from back when you and Alex came to Zwaka"s realm. Do you remember when your fiance suddenly appeared and introduced himself to Alex. He was trying to be a good guy. Still, Alex could see that bast*rd had another intention. After all, he had been waiting behind the wall long before you arrived."
"!!!" Putri was shocked. She indeed remembered that scene. But back then, she was still madly in love with Eric. She never thought anything like that back then.
Song Yu and Charya frowned. They understood what she meant by Zwaka"s realm. It was the so-called Martial Emperor. They were surprised there was this kind of story that happened back then.
It was only Evelyn who was clueless as to who was this "Zwaka" that Anna was talking about. Fortunately, after knowing Alex had received the inheritance of the Martial Emperor, they did not have any plan toward Alex.
Anna continued, "Back then. He tried to squeeze Alex"s hand. I did not know what he was up to. But he clearly wanted to challenge Alex. Maybe, he was trying to act cool or whatever. I don"t care. Anyway…"
