Chapter 1500 1340: Confrontation~End
No one had imagined this scene. The endless lightning strikes from the dense, dark clouds shrouded everyone within like a heavy downpour. At the same time, three distinctive halos emerged and expanded in all directions wildly!
Alex smiled. He knew clearly what Adan was up to. This was a technique that belonged to the Peak Demigod and a supreme proof of their strength—' Mystic Realm'. A unique domain created by the powerful being of this realm, where he became the God of this world.
Alex passed his sword swiftly to his left hand and resisted another lightning bolt that struck at him.
At this moment, the halo that was expanding alongside the roaring thunder and lightning bolts had arrived before Alex.
Everyone thought it was the end, but Alex's sword covered in silverish light was raised.
''Alex's Sword Art- Special form: Severance!"
Shinng!
Under everyone's astonished eyes, Alex cut the not-so-almighty domain into two.
Absolute Silence. They were all shocked, Adan's current expression was a sight to behold, his mouth was wide open, so wide you could shove an egg into it. If it was in a normal situation he would care for his appearance, keeping his dignity.
But now, Adan couldn't care less as his mind was filled with unprecedented shock. He never thought that this young man could break through his Mystic Realm!
'I succeeded.'
Alex revealed a glint of satisfaction as he gazed at Adan's expression. He knew why Adan was surprised, of course. He used him as a test after all.
''What did you do?"
After a long moment of silence, Adan stared at Alex vigilantly. He had never heard that the Mystic Realm could be destroyed by someone. In his eyes, Alex had turned from an admirable young man to a threatening presence. This domain was an amulet for beings in the Demigod realm. It was also the source of their arrogance and strength. And now, Adan's domain had been completely destroyed!
"That's a trade secret, Mr. Adan."
Adan twitched his brows. He lifted his sword and strode toward Alex. Even though Adan was injured from the backlash of the Mystic Realm devastation, he naturally wouldn't be gravely hurt as a powerful being.
Adan tried to capture Alex due to obligation previously, but now, he hoped to capture him because he wished to know the truth. What did Alex do to break his Mystic Realm? This hadn't happened in the past!
But Adan also knew that this stubborn young man wouldn't expose his secret this easily.
'Since he isn't willing… I'll have to use force then.'
Here he comes!
Alex lifted his sword and stood silently on the spot, he waited for his arrival.
Adan's right arm muscle tightened. The sword in his hand trembled. Everything was developing in the right direction, and next would be a matter of life or death.
Alex twitched his wrist.
Shing!
He swung out his pitch-black sword and its straight blade instantly transformed into a menacing viper, widening its mouth and pouncing at Adan!
"Hmph!"
He let out a cold snort. At this moment, his sword aura had reached its peak. He stepped forward.
When Adan took the first step, his sword and he were still individual entities. However, they merged together on the very next step. The dazzling lightning sword aura enveloping them pulsed. The spirit and strength coalesced from years of tough training and became a perfect embodiment. The violent, choking aggression felt as though a gush of stream that formed into a huge sword aura wave!
The dark shadow vanished in the enormous wave, but Adan turned around along the momentum and streaked across an indistinct trail of blade rays, slashing toward nothing. However, at the next moment, a razor-sharp black blade emerged and crashed heavily into Adan's blade.
"That's the end for you, young man!"
Adan thrust his sword down with all his might while Alex couldn't resist the powerful force, especially in this condition. Alex hurriedly retreated and at the same time, Adan deflected his black sword away.
Alex was defenseless and a single slash would take his life…
A single slash.
Clang!
A crisp collision rang.
Adan widened his eyes at the pure white blade that obstructed him. Behind the blade were Alex's smiling eyes, which Adan didn't see. Alex laid the sword horizontally before his chest and the holy, white blade resisted Lauren's lethal attack.
'Damn it. Where did this other sword come from?!'
Adan's movements stagnated, but he didn't stop. He struck out again and again and grew increasingly terrified. This young man's calmness had exceeded his expectations.
Although Adan knew that Alex wasn't easy to deal with, he recognized him as merely a potential junior back then. But now, he discovered that this young had become a worthy opponent and enemy!
Adan knew that this young man's strength was far from his. It should have been the case. But he observed that this young man's movements had surpassed his expectations from their exchange in slashes. He didn't know what the young man did to weaken his strength and even destroy his Mystic Realm. Moreover, how did this sword appear out of nowhere?
Adan swore that this young man didn't have a second sword with him!
'I can't drag this any longer!'
Adan stared fiercely.
The ear-deafening thunder roared.
The lightning bolts permeating the silver-whitish blade erupted in all directions, shaking Alex's footing in the deep explosion. Adan swiftly retreated, but Lauren struck his blade forward closely. A dozen incomparably dazzling light blades exploded and engulfed Alex entirely.
Cling! Cling! Cling! Cling!
Alex sprung back in crisp clashes of swords. Adan didn't hold back anymore. He leapt forward and the lightning bolts under his feet struck like a powerful stream.
Cling! Cling! Cling! Cling!
They clashed again and again with Alex gaining the upper hand, he decided to end this game as he had learned what he desired to learn.
Swoosh!
He suddenly vanished and reappeared behind Adan with a dagger held against his neck.
Adan was shocked by the sudden development, and so was the others.
Then, he heard Alex's calm and apathetic voice.
"Shall we continue, Mr. Adan?"
If Adan were to choose, he wouldn't be willing to end just like this. But he knew that he had no other choices left. If his opponent was merely a strong noble, Adan would capture him for investigation. Even if the investigations were proven wrong, he would at most show up personally and apologize to the Renner Royal Family. But now, Adan couldn't do that. Of course, he could choose to force his way through, but this young man had shown that he wasn't easy to deal with. Moreover, Adan was concerned that this young man had more tricks up his sleeves. If Alex's outstanding swordsmanship and confidence could still be considered acceptable, his capability in breaking Adan's Mystic Realm had left the latter stunned.
His last action had shocked Adan as he hadn't expected such a move. His blood boiled and wanted to fight this young man to his heart's content, however, he couldn't do it.
They were in the territory of the Renner Kingdom and Adan wasn't willing to make a huge fuss out of this situation.
Although the relationship between the Renner Kingdom and Kingsley's Kingdom was terrible, both sides were still able to get along on the surface, after all. Besides, Adan was unlike that bunch of politicians who couldn't wait for the Renner Kingdom to be destroyed and disintegrated. As a soldier, he knew how important the Renner Kingdom's geographical location was to Kingsley's Kingdom. If it was possible, he didn't wish to have a falling out with the Renner Kingdom. Furthermore, as one of the higher-ups of the Kingsley's Kingdom Parliament, he understood everything that had happened in the Renner Kingdom and he had vaguely sensed that the incidents were linked to the Kingsley's Parliament in countless ways.
During such a sensitive period, he had better not go overboard. Besides, who knew what tricks this young man had up his sleeves?
Adan pondered in silence and withdrew his sword.
Alex gazed at Adan calmly. In Adan's eyes, Alex appeared much more confident now…
"What is your name?"
Adan asked the black-haired young man. He had a premonition that this young man would possibly be one of the prospects of the Renner Kingdom. Even though it would be tough for a person to influence the harmony of two nations, it would still be possible judging from the person's status. There were many outstanding young people in the Renner Kingdom.
Adan observed Alex while recalling something.
According to the rumors and intelligence collected by the Kingsley's Kingdom Parliament, the commander of the Royal Family's most secretive and ancient Royal Fleet was also a young man, but no one knew the commander's true identity.
''Alex Touch!"
''I see.''
Adan nodded, memorizing the name.
He shot a glance at Alex once more. Then, he turned around and approached his men.
"Let them go. We're heading off!"
"Sir?"
The man in heavy armor questioned.
"We can't do that. There's a high chance that these people are related to the incident. As long as we carefully investigate, we can surely find some evidence against them…"
"Enough!"
Adan let out a bellow. He glared at the man beside him and let out a hopeless sigh. He was no longer as furious as before. Instead, he appeared seemingly worried. From this confrontation and looking at Alex's group, Adan felt as if his kingdom was lacking in young talents, something that must be corrected.
