Chapter 139 - New blood (2/2)

”Just who do you think you are doing?”

”If you really think that you're that amazing, then explain why you are only an average soldier up till now!”

”You bunch of weaklings are merely those who are barely above the survival line, even you as the leader are below average for your age and you are this cocky?”

The soldiers all stepped out to help Matthias as a few went to support and pick him up from the ground, making use of their spirit essence to help him recover while feeding him an healing elixir.

They may be incompetent compared to those professional healers, but they knew the necessary basics at the very least, it was the minimum requirement for one to even become an ordinary soldier.

”But all of you will die here today, I may already be twenty nine years of age, but I'm someone who awakened the silver tier saint force at the very least!” The leader boasted with confidence as whips of spirit essence sent the soldiers flying.

Only the soldier holding a rapier in hand had been keeping silent all this while, but none of the initial whips managed to hit him as he soon concealed himself before his foes can realise.

”Saint force have different grades? Maybe I should consult the General on this matter later on if the chance arises.” Nightin muttered to himself in his consciousness as he opened his eyes and concealed his aura.

Sensing the faint traces of space lines which he has once seen when taking travel portals, he could vaguely understand what the youth was planning, he was waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

The youth lurking in the shadows goes by the name Zave, he had black hair with natural curls and even though he had a slim build, one could vaguely sense the strength contained within his body.

”So, you said that your name was Matthias?” The leader sneered as he took out a machete from his spatial ring, boasting with an arrogant smile on his face ”You should be glad that you can live your life as a slave from today onwards, thanks to my high heaven grade machete.”

Matthias laid on the ground powerlessly, his breathing was chaotic and even though his face was ashen white, he still smiled and embraced whatever was coming ”If I remember correctly, everyone knows you as Reg the disgrace.”

”What did you just say?” Reg shouted as he slashed his machete down towards Matthias who was already accepting death.

”Who gave you the courage to touch my younger brother?” The voice of a young man sounded off from in front of Matthias as he threatened Reg, confidence was the only emotion on his face as a dragon made of dark energy swirled around him.

Reg stopped in his tracks, fear enveloped him as he broke out in cold sweat and got down on his knees, he looked around and realised that all his lackeys were already laying on the ground, dead.

”You... You are the ranked one expert on the Martial Saint list of experts! Hysan!” Reg fainted on the ground once he cried so, he didn't want to know how he would die next.

”Brother, what are you doing here?” Matthias smiled as he asked when Hysan lifted him off the ground.

”Why? I'm here to share with you the news that happened just three days ago. I stepped into the Martial Saint realm at the age of twenty two with nine transcendent gates and awakened the iridescent dark saint force in the legends.”
