Chapter 286 (1/2)

Leon did what he said he would. He swung his Eagle Sword again.

It seemed like there was no difference from the last time. Its aura was still that of the eagle wings spread across the sky. But if one looked carefully it was evident that compared to a minute before, the sword seemed alive. It was like a real eagle instead of a sword.

It was a unique eagle, neither fierce nor handsome. It was only huge and lively. It could almost cover the sky when it spread both its wings. But when it flew it was an ordinary eagle without even one bit of greatness.

The sword’s aura suddenly broke through the long sky and pushed towards the Orc Emperor’s flag. The elder of the church straightened up and raised the staff of imprisonment up high. He gave a shout as blood flew out of his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. A circle of red light shot out from the staff of imprisonment like a flame. It acted as a shield, blocking the direction of the sword’s aura.

This time, the collision between the sword’s aura and the red light was not as shocking. Both sides appeared stubborn. They did not disappear, even on collision. The eagle from sword’s aura chirped as it flapped its wings and moved forward. The red light made a boiling sound and its color seemed to fade and evaporate, its volume constantly reducing.

After a few seconds, the red light finally disappeared. The aura of the Eagle Sword did not change much. It continued moving forward, dashing straight toward the elder of the church.

Red light emanated fiercely from the staff of imprisonment, but the elder of the church vomited blood in a violent way. His entire body was crooked. In a moment he had shrunk into a wrinkly pile of garbage. It seemed that the staff of imprisonment was absorbing his entire life force as well as his flesh and blood.

After completely absorbing everything from the life of this expert, the red light on the staff of imprisonment shone so brightly it could almost be seen throughout the world. Within the red light, the six skulls tied on the staff head floated, each of them growing bigger than the size of a human.

They opened their bony white mouths and bit towards the sword’s aura.

The sword’s aura moved immediately, and the eagle turned around to bypass an oncoming skull as its other wing flapped away another one. The battle array that the six skulls arranged had a void, so it flew through it. Although the skulls immediately gave chase they were one step too slow. It had almost bombarded the golden flag of the Orc Emperor.

Leon finally smiled.

The powers of the true Eagle Sword were really different! Especially when he suddenly received that gush of strength. The Eagle Sword was brilliant, and with its powers, he could probably fight those weaker Gods. He might even win.

Regardless of how strong the Orc Emperor was, he could not escape death or injury. The Orc spirits would deflate greatly after losing their leader, and they would have to retreat. Then this violent war could finally come to an end.

But in the very next moment, Leon knew that he was very wrong.

As the Eagle Sword came at him, Junero Tiger sighed deeply.

“In the end, I still need to use my martial powers!”

His body made a cracking noise. Then he welcomed the sword’s aura with a swing of his fist.

His palm was white and long; no one thought of this tall tiger man’s fists as weapons.

But it was his fist that knocked out the aura of the Eagle Sword. The sword’s aura crumbled and disappeared in front of his fist with a sad wail. The fist was completely unharmed.

Leon almost could not believe his own eyes. He stared at Emperor Junero and asked, “Who exactly are you?!”

“Junero Tiger,” the Orc Emperor calmly replied as his body floated into the air.

His face was full of regret. But there was also the sense that he had let go of a heavy burden. He had finished a long mission, and even though the ending was not as he wished, he had indeed lightened his load.

“Impossible! Everyone knows the Orc Emperor is not an extreme expert!” Leon frowned and said.

“Just because everyone knows something does not make it true,” Junero said, smiling. “But it does not matter what is happening. Everything is coming to an end.”

He looked down on both sides of the people who were completely stunned by the turn of events, and towards the battlefield covered with dead bodies. He sighed deeply and said to Leon, “It seems like the war is not going to progress anymore.”

Leon watched him cautiously; he didn’t dare lower his guard.

He did not know what exactly was happening with this Orc Emperor, but his expert instinct told him that his opponent was strong. Unimaginably strong! It scared him and made his shoulders and legs tremble uncontrollably.

He had heard about Junero Tiger from His own Highness and His Highness of Steel Lion. He knew that this fellow was conservatively estimated to be a demigod expert. It was possible he was even at the level of a real God. But Leon felt that with the help of the three awakened artifacts, his ability would be no less than some weaker Gods. He who could make him tremble, even slightly, was too strong!

Leon wondered how such a strong fellow could stay and fight on the main plane., Leon was an expert from the top of the legendary realm and had the help of the three artifacts. Even if he could not win against an opponent, he could at least run away. So he tested out Junero’s abilities. Junero refused to take action no matter what, which further confirmed Leon’s suspicions that he was more than he seemed.
