Chapter 617: The Fight Between Martial Saints

617 The Fight Between Martial Saints

"Teleportation Array…" Igor gasped as he Sta

at Alex. "I'm impressed."

He could comment because they had arrived near the actual battlefield after going through several teleportations.

"Indeed. Although I have experienced Space Element Array Master for a few times in the past, I still can't help but get astonished. It's truly a wonderful ability, especially for teleportation." Atlas agreed.

"The distance is nothing like your Teleportation Rune." Alex shook his head. "They have their own strength and weakness after all."

"Yes. Correct answer." Atlas nodded before looking at Igor. "Are you ready?"

"I'm ready. The body is ahead of us… Maybe we will get there after flying for a few minutes." Igor pointed his head to the north. He then looked back at Alex and said. "I think this is the time we say goodbye."

"I will watch from the sideline with my teleportation array in tow. I might not participate in this battle, but I need to know the conclusion. Rather than waiting anxiously and for who knows long. It's better if I stay around the area." Alex suggested.

Igor narrowed his eyes. "This is going to be a dangerous battle, you know."

"I know." How could he don't know as he had experienced it one time in the Lower World? Back then, he wanted to observe the war between human and demon. Unfortunately, a series of unfortunate events hit him and almost took his life. If Sherry were not with him, he would certainly die.

However, this time was different. He had two Spiritual Weapons that could be used to protect him from a Martial Saint attack, he also had his Teleportation Array ready.

He only needed to activate the protective ability from the weapons the entire time, so they could block two attacks before escaping with his Teleportation Array.

This action might be similar to the one in the past, but he had more preparations this time. And he would observe a bit farther than usual and only looked at them with his Spirit Eyes. He wanted to see Igor's Sword Intent and learned a few techniques or skills from him.

Besides, to raise a warrior like Igor was very hard. Only a skilled person like his grandfather would be able to handle that.

"Still, I don't want to take a risk by letting you watch this battle," Igor said with concern.

"Don't worry. I have several ways to escape before he could hit me." Alex smiled, assuring him that he would be alright.

"…" Igor clenched his hands and turned back to Atlas. "We need to go."

Atlas let out a hollow laugh and nodded. "Sure."

Igor took out his giant sword and flew. Alex kept following them from a very long distance while bringing his two Spiritual Weapons. He activated the two swords as it gradually formed an invisible barrier around him.

With this barrier, he should be able to teleport before Igor's grandfather could kill him, especially since Igor said he could only let out a physical attack.

"That's the guy," Igor said while narrowing his sharp eyes.

Atlas didn't say anything, but the air around him seemed to be a bit colder. Nonetheless, the fight between the three giants would start in a moment.

Alex pondered for a moment before saying. "I will wait here."

Atlas and Igor glanced at him for a few seconds before nodding their heads. Atlas said, "Alright. If it's this far, you should be able to protect yourself. Even Igor's grandfather, Ragna, would need a few seconds to come."

Alex nodded and halted his movement, watching Igor and Atlas fly away.

Nelson looked at him without expression. "Is this really alright?"

"It's fine. I can use Spirit Eyes to see Igor's Sword Intent. I feel like I might find my own Sword Path by watching him." Alex nodded with a solemn expression.

Nelson pondered for a moment and nodded. "Understood. I will check our surroundings just in case."

"Yes. I will leave it to you."

After that, Nelson disappeared and went around the area to check whether there was a magical beast nearby. On the other hand, Alex activated his Spirit Eyes and observed his surroundings.

"Are there any runes or arrays nearby?" Alex pondered for a moment but found no sign. He let out a long sigh of relief. "Phew, there is none that will stop this match."

Meanwhile, Igor and Atlas already arrived one hundred meters in front of Igor's Grandfather. He had a red-colored body as well as fur. He looked like an outcast in the tribe, but none of them dared to voice their discontent. First of all, they would be beaten like how his grandfather changed his face with a ring.

On the other hand, Alex furrowed his eyebrows when he saw Igor's strength. It would be an easy match if Igor were a normal cultivator, but a beast king shouldn't easily lose, right? Alex thought.

Igor took a look at Alex once more to check whether Alex got closer or not. He was the promised one, so if he was killed in this battle, the chance of them leaving here might be zero. He didn't want to throw away this precious chance.

Atlas's wand shone brightly. It was made of bones with a skull as its head. Inside the skull was a green gem, but it was another type of gem instead of a wind gem.

Igor also released his battle instinct and beastly aura as he landed on the ground. After that, the fur on his body started growing and spread all over his body. His sharp teeth also grew a few millimeters, making it look more dangerous.

He looked at the red-colored half-men half-lion and released his Sword Path fully. Just like earlier, every action he took, no matter how small it was, would release a powerful Sword Intent that contained beastly aura.

Atlas continued floating behind him before stopping one hundred meters away from Ragna. On the other hand, Igor observed his grandfather carefully, not leaving a single detail.

The red lion in front of him had eyes, but there were no colors on it. It looked like he could see, but not at the same time.

"Grandfather. It's been a few thousand years since then. I am a coward, so I never visited you in the past few thousand years. However, this time I will fight without running away. Face you and take our tribe back to where we should belong. That's why I need to win this." Igor narrowed his eyes.

*Roar!*

The unconscious lion suddenly let out a Heaven shattering roar that almost made their eardrum burst.

It was different from Igor. He had a deep connection with this old man, so he thought the old man just revived. Unfortunately, the hollow eyes that did not recognize friends and foe… showed that he was still in that state.

With great difficulty, Igor took a deep breath and released his aura while pointing his sword at Igor. "I will bring back my Grandfather's honor."

The two giant tigers leaped forward while swinging their swords.

*Bam!*

The shock wave created by these two created a small crater. Alex looked at the clash and opened his mouth in surprise. "Seriously? If I am not wrong, he would surely give a good fight that I can observe in a small lace. This would be perfect."

Both of them clashed their swords with each other, creating a stir outside. In the clash, Ragna couldn't find a perfect balance he could disrupt. Instead… Ragna actually released a huge amount of energy and made Igor scared for a second and made a distance with him. However, Ragna actually used this strategy to show that he might have lost his rationality, but his instinct was still there.

"Tch!" Like he had expected it, Igor clicked his teeth as he gritted his teeth and shifted his stance. 'Even though that body can use weapons, it's still not able to handle Spiritual Energy and Arts. I still have the advantage in the long run… The problem is…'

As soon as he thought about it, a dark cloud appeared around the area. The already dark sky turned darker, symbolizing Atlas's Authority.

Igor smiled upon seeing this and charged at Ragna with all of his strength. He slashed it down to pin him on the ground. It was effective as he could see the craters around Ragnar's feet.

*Roar Roar!* Ragna let out a howling roar before shifting his stance. The little maneuver allowed him to escape from Igor's sword and freed his sky. Ragna quickly jumped over Igor's head and tried to strike him on the back.

Unfortunately, Atlas finally revealed his prestige. The dark cloud from earlier released a lightning strike. Because Igor and Ragna actually aligned, no matter who was the target, Ragna would be the one that received this lightning strike.

"Rube Sang!"

Atlas's green wand shone brightly like it was controlling the lightning and pinpointed it to Ragna's position.

*Boom!*

A huge explosion occurred and swallowed Ragna. On the other hand, Igor managed to escape and appeared beside Atlas.

"Nice one." He nodded while observing whether it would give actual damage.

*Roar!*

Unfortunately, a shattering roar resounded across the region before they saw Ragna brushed the lightning away with his hand. All the remaining lightning that was covering him was also ineffective.

*Roar!*

Ragna let out another roar after finding both of them and charged forward.

"Oh, it's not very effective." Atlas was a bit annoyed.

"I agree," Igor said before leaping forward to hold Ragna again.

"Moon Swallowing Beast!"

Igor's sword glowed in white color, and he slashed it downward, shooting out a white-colored shock wave that would soon transform into a white tiger.

Both the white tiger and Ragna charged at each other.

However, the conclusion came in a sudden. The moment they clashed, the white tiger tried to stop him by biting his neck or whatsoever, but Ragna was faster. He grabbed the tiger's head and ripped it into pieces.

Igor knew Ragna would be able to destroy his technique with bare fists. That was why the attack itself was only a bait to let him appear behind Ragna unnoticed. He slashed at Ragna's neck as another light shone on his sword.

Ragna noticed this and halted his movement before raising his two hands to block the sword.

"Light Sword!" Igor completed his swing, but when he looked at Ragna, he frowned and muttered to himself. 'That attack alone is already great, but my grandfather still can block the attack? As expected from the first generation of kings, killing him will be so hard.'

It wasn't like the sword actually left nothing in Igor's body as it indeed let out a shallow cut on its skin. But it shouldn't be affecting his power or whatsoever, so the situation was still in a pinch.

Thinking about the possibility of losing in this place, Igor gritted his teeth and let out a roar too.

*Roar!*

He changed his stance and pushed Ragna back before blasting him away.

As if he didn't feel it at all, Ragna charged once again without caring about his injury.

Igor made the same move from earlier to check whether Ragna had a brain or not. Surprisingly, the attack succeeded again, albeit Ragna began checking its hand. On the other hand, Igor retreated back to Atlas.

"It's really hard if we don't fight seriously and hope to exhaust him after a while." Igor sighed as he looked at Atlas.

"Yeah. Give me five minutes." Atlas nodded. "I will set up something."

"Alright."

Igor raised his hands and looked at the incoming Ragna. The sword shone in white color again, but this time it held more energy. Igor said, "Grandfather. This is the accumulation of my experiences from my training with you and father. Let me show it to you and make you proud."

"Beast King Grand Slash!"
