Felard Bean, the young Sword King, had become one of the Top Four.
âHas he ever completely mastered Baotoltâs unique skill?â
The answer unfolded before his eyes.
Boom!
The condensed Aura exploded and dwelled on the entire body of the Baltara warrior. A blood-colored aura radiated and turned into a huge power.
For a moment, Garhan was relieved.
â⊠He hasnât completed it yet.â
About 90 percent of Han-binâs Aura was converted into the fighting spirit and enveloped him.
In other words, about 10 percent would still be out of control and could hurt him.
At that moment, Han-bin touched his belt.
âPrana Conversion!â
The red Aura quickly turned into blue energy. It was a unique item, the Four-Power Conversion Belt.
That completely eradicated the explosions that wouldâve damaged him.
The remaining destructive Aura, which was beyond control, was converted to Prana and scattered in all directions.
âWhat is it?â
Ryu Han-bin touched his belt again, glaring at the surprised Garhan.
-Deactivate.
His uncontrolled energy had already dissipated.
The remaining 90 percent Prana, which was hovering around his physique, was turned into Valtaraâs Fighting Spirit again.
With a perfectly controlled fighting spirit wrapped around his body, the giant warrior smiled triumphantly.
âWhat do you think of my strategy?â
* * *
Han-bin got that idea when he took Leslie as his servant.
When converting Aura to Prana, he found that all the pressure he felt disappeared without a trace.
It was a matter of course.
He just dumped Prana all over his vicinity. He didnât operate it as he did with Aura, so of course, it couldnât affect him.
When he deactivated his belt, his Aura returned completely serene.
He became excited when he realized that fact.
âPerhaps Valtaraâs Fighting Spirit would show the same phenomenon.â
He went straight into experimentations until he got the result he desired.
âAs expected!â
Ryu Han-bin kicked the ground.
Super Magic Arrow? Extensive healing?
Those were all just side tricks.
What greater weapon could there be for him than one that could completely erase the side effects of his fighting spirit?
âAhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!â
With a festive cheer, Gigant scattered the red attacks.
-Valtaraâs Pierce!
Garhan didnât dare ignore it.
For the first time, he took a proper stance. He executed a powerful attack in return.
Boom!
Both took a step back as their offensives collided.
âI canât believe he can use that in such a wayâŠâ
Changing his posture, Garhan glared at Han-binâs belt.
âDid you hide it on purpose when you were dealing with Nakterion?â
âYeah. I knew youâd be watching. You know big guns are more effective when you save them until the end, right?â
âThatâs so surprising itâs ridiculous. I didnât expect Baotoltâs disciple to pull a stunt like this.â

Ryu Han-bin smiled bitterly.
âI guess so.â
If he were a real Valtara warrior and the true successor of Baotolt, he certainly wouldnât have thought of that.
But in fact, he was just an ordinary young man who had played online games in Korea.
âKorean gamers have a bad habit of finding tricks around hardships.â
Of course, there was no reason to reveal his identity, so he acted like a Valtara warrior in front of others.
âI just do my best to win!â
Ryu Han-bin launched a ruthless offensive, drawing out Aura with all his might.
His Valtaraâs Pierces and Valtaraâs Hacks continued, releasing red flashes.
Garhanâs movements also sped up.
Lightning began to strike in all directions as the area of the Thunder and Lightning technique widened.
Neither refused to back down. Explosive sounds rang constantly.
While fighting, Han-binâs eyes shone for a moment.
âChance!â
-Sword King Swordsmanship, Dog-Beating Style First Form: Random Stab!
Blade Aura rained down upon them like a meteor shower.
Garhanâs expression hardened.
âItâsâŠâ
His timing was ambiguous to stop and fight back.
He decided to tank the attack head-on, creating a Sword of Lightning and targetting Han-binâs front.
At that moment, Ryu Han-bin rotated his body, his Gigant stretched out, using the centrifugal force to propel him.
-Sword King Swordsmanship, Dog-Beating Style Second Form: Whirlwind!
The formidable Blade Aura collided head-on with his technique, releasing a catastrophic shockwave.
Boom!
One step back, and Garhan frowned even more.
âDamnâŠâ
His swordsmanship was neither crude nor sophisticated.
The technique was crude, the foundation was strong, the idea was simple, and the result was explosive.
âIs he the true disciple of Baotolt?â
He knew Baotoltâs swordsmanship well. Even if he closed his eyes and covered his ears, he could predict it with only his instincts.
It was just that predictions couldnât be prevented or avoided.
âHeâs different.â
His movements were similar but completely different in small details.
However, it wasnât like it had nothing to do with Baotolt either. The flow itself was following the Sword Kingâs style.
That made him even more confused.
Frowning, Garhan asked, âIs this what youâre after?â
He thought his opponent changed his swordsmanship style on purpose to dazzle him.
It wasnât that difficult to believe, considering Leon Hart was a Spiritist obsessed with martial arts.
Indeed, the young Sword King smiled with remorse.
âOf course!â
⊠Han-bin didnât actually know what he was aiming for, but he agreed anyway.
âThereâs nothing to lose in ruining the opponentâs mentality.â
Garhan wasnât as confident as he was before.
His attacks became weaker, and his flow lost its smoothness.
He was hesitating.
âI donât know.â
Due to that, his movements became dull. It was just a fleeting moment, but even that was enough to have a huge impact on fights between beings of their caliber.
âThe requirement to use the Heavenly Sword Diastima is the completed Valtaraâs Fighting Spirit. Thatâs for sure.â
The young Sword Kingâs fighting spirit was about 90 percent complete. It hadnât been completed yet.
The latest_episodes are on_the lightnovelworld.com website.
But the reason why the Diastima needed a mastered fighting spirit was that the impure Aura left in the body interfered with the flow.
Thanks to the Four-Power Conversion Belt, there was no impure Aura left in him!
âYou bastardâŠâ
Puzzled, Garhan glared at the Valtara warrior in front of him.
âCan you use the Heavenly Sword or not?â
* * *
Genovia calmly clicked her fingers.
âArise.â
Huge currents sprang up from all over the basin, creating a destructive wall that reached several meters into the air.
Boom!
The pillars of the water stream ground everything they touched and ejected in an affected manner.
Swallowing the blood of the cumbersome monsters, they immediately stormed Leon Hartâs party.
âSmash them.â
The water currents scattered, turning into blood-hued arrows.
Amid the attack, Effir burst into a scream.
âMr. Artis!â
âI know!â
Fiery barriers and force fields were spread simultaneously in front of Artis.
He used defensive spells through magic and artifacts.
However, they broke in less than a second.
âArgh!â
âAvoid it!â
Leon Hart spread an additional spiritual barrier to prevent additional damages. At that moment, Effir grabbed Artisâs waist and dashed away.
An explosion soon followed.
Boom!
Barely being able to escape, Artis muttered in contemplation.
âHow the hell is she so strong? I thought I was powerful until I met her.â
After she regained her calmness, the power of the Archmage became incomprehensible.
A vast array of magic spells was pouring out incessantly. It was just too much for them to hold out against her.
Even if they were lucky enough to find a good opportunity and seize it, they wouldnât even be able to fight back.
Genoviaâs transition from magic to magic was breathtaking, and he couldnât see a crack in it.
In just a few minutes, all three were covered in blood.
That was the result even though Leon Hart had cast his best healing arts.
âGasp, gaspâŠâ
Nevertheless, no one gave up.
âEven if I want to give upâŠâ
âIf we do, itâs over.â
They had to do their best. The fate of the world depended on them, after all. There was no other choice but to fight.
âYouâre forcing me to be brave!â
Effir charged in.
Her double swords danced, both covered in electric currents.
-Magic swordsmanship: Lightning Explosion!
In admiration, Genovia aimed at her with the end of her staff.
âIt appears thereâs someone else who can use that skill besides Garhan.â
A seven-colored beam tore through the air.
Smashing through Effirâs attack, it flew straight at her!
Paaaah!
Effir somersaulted away. A bright light enveloped her, and soon a giant Wyvern emerged.
âYay!â
Follow new_episodes on the lightnovelworld.com platform.
By cleverly maneuvering around the air, the silver-maned Wyvern avoided the attack.
For a moment, surprised, Genovia raised her eyes.
â⊠Is she the Wyvern?â
It wasnât strange for her to be puzzled.
âNo way. Your levelâs lower as a Wyvern?â
Still, she didnât forget to continue her offensive.
âIâd love to do some research on you. Maximum Chain Lightning.â
The strongest electric-type magic available to her, a level 130 spell, had been released.
She knew well that she couldnât hit her opponent directly, so she purposely launched magic to lure it instead.
At that very momentâŠ
âNowâs the time!â
Effir returned to human form and fell sharply down the air.
The silver-haired girl performed a magic swordsmanship technique again. Lightning tore through the skies.
Rumbling!
After invalidating Genoviaâs spell, she returned to her original form again and flew up!
âYouâve never seen this trick before, have you?â
For the Archmage, who had extensive combat experience, all of her attacks would have been read.
If Effir wanted to hold her back a little longer, she would have to fight in ways Genovia had never seen before!
âAhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!â
Changing back and forth between her human and Wyvern forms, Effir circled frantically around the Archmage.
Genovia nodded as she watched the scene.
âThatâs not bad.â
At first, she criticized them for being insane, but when she thought about it, she realized using the alien monsters was the best method they could choose under the current circumstances.
Things would have changed if only the incarnationâs group, the Thunder King, and Manakiras of the Archmage had gathered here.
They could have left the group to Manakiras while the Garhan and Genovia teamed up against the young Sword King.
âOf course, Manakiras will die in return.â
But she couldnât do that now.
The whole place was seething with monsters. If she wanted to help her colleague, Leon Hartâs group had to be pushed out first. Afterward, she would need to move while sweeping away all the cumbersome creatures around them.
The amount of time that would take was too great.
There could be no better trap if the weak wanted to tie the feet of the strong.
âBut that also means your tacticâs all about attrition.â
Coldly, she conjured Mana.
âThereâs no need to be impatient. This is no different than usual.â
The war itself was something she was familiar with. When she was young, she had once fought for a day in a dungeon alone, surrounded by evil.
She just panicked for a moment due to the unexpected events.
âI know what you are expecting.â
They believed on the farfetched premise that the young Sword King was enough to destroy the Thunder King. That was why they were desperately holding out.
But it was just a vain hope that couldnât be achieved.
âIâm sorryâŠâ
She shook her head as she watched a giant pushing the strongest Magic Swordsman to the ground.
âHe canât beat him with that.â
* * *
A faint smile hung around Garhanâs lips.
âI was stupid. I donât know if he can use the Heavenly Sword or not, but what does it matter? If he canât, Iâll kill him. If he can, then Iâll just retreat.â
The result wouldnât be any different either way.
âIâll just assume he can use it. Even so, I can crush him with power.â
Boom!
The weapon in Garhanâs hand disappeared, and a huge blade of lightning soared.
âOh no.â

Surprised, Ryu Han-bin faltered.
The eyes of the Thunder King shone, emitting blue light.
