338 Where Are They? (1/2)
Despite his calm attitude on the surface, he felt slightly pressured by Sabertooth's vigorous aura.
Every advancement in the Great Warrior Realm was a significant leap in strength. After one breakthrough, Sabertooth was much stronger than Leon.
Sabertooth was not targeting anyone in particular, but seeing how Leon could resist his powerful aura and keep his composure, he could not help but be slightly impressed.
He silently acknowledged the person with a nod before saying, ”I would like to talk more, but it will have to wait.”
Leon nodded in agreement.
”Well then, let us talk later. I'll be sure to repay this favor once we overcome the Bone Calamity.” Sabertooth stated before he grabbed his saber and dashed in Chief Valencia's direction.
Countless Bone Soldiers and Bone Knights blocked his path to Chief Valencia's side, but he swept them away with ease.
After achieving the High-rank Great Warrior Realm, his physical strength had reached a staggering 150 thousand jins.
”Congratulations on your successful breakthrough, Big Brother Sabertooth!”
”Hahaha! This is great! Now we have one more High-ranked Great Warrior in our Darkmoon Tribe!”
The warriors congratulated Great Warrior Sabertooth one after another as he passed them by. The warriors watched Sabertooth's back grow smaller in the distance with a look of excitement and determination as they clenched their fists.
”Our victory is guaranteed, but opportunities to advance our strength in times like these are rare! C'mon, brothers! We must work harder! I don't believe that I won't be able to break through at least once today!” A warrior rallied.
The Darkmoon Tribe's warriors were obviously weary from battle, but they never stopped pushing their bodies.
After killing so many Bone Soldiers and Bone Knights, their bodies had also been tempered a fair bit. Although it was not enough to reach a breakthrough, they were nearing the verge of one.
They just needed to push a little harder to overcome their body's limits, and the breakthrough will come naturally.
Some might view the Bone Calamity as a great disaster, but it was also an excellent opportunity to grow stronger. As they say, disaster and blessings always go hand in hand.
”OOHHH!”
The warriors roared with motivation and determination. The prospects of becoming stronger fueled their tired bodies with new energy as they fought with greater ferocity.
While the Bone Army dropped rapidly in numbers, Leon did not follow Sabertooth to assist Chief Valencia. There was no need to. Instead,
With his [Spirit Eyes], he had seen Chief Valencia slaying 3 of the 7 Bone Kings. It was unknown how many times they have fallen under her blade, but they have hit the limit of their revives.
She was worthy of being the strongest warrior of the Darkmoon Tribe. Her strength was unrivaled.
”Chief Valencia, I've come to help you!” Sabertooth shouted as he neared the tribal chief.
After Chief Valencia felled another Bone King, she gave him a sidelong glance and calmly said, ”Your help is not needed here.”
If a Battle Master like her needed help against mere Lesser Demons like the Bone Kings, she would be considered an incompetent warrior.
”Right…” Sabertooth stopped in his tracks with slight embarrassment, before saying, ”…Then I will go help the others!”
”Go on.” Chief Valencia shooed him away before softly snorting, ”Wanting to steal my prey?”
Bone Kings were juicy preys packed with lots of Darkness Profound Energy. How could she let others steal her prey after she did all the hard work?
Sabertooth overheard her words and ran away with quickened steps. It did not take long before he got close to another battle between a Bone King and a Mid-rank Great Warrior.
”Brother Blackbear, I've come to help!”
”Piss off!”
”Ahem, alright.”
…
Each time undead beings are killed with Soul Weapon, a portion of their power is absorbed and refined by the Soul Weapon. However, it was not much compared to what the last kill has to offer.
By now, Chief Valencia had slain the 7 Bone Kings a total of 67 times. The last 3 Bone Kings were all on their final life.
”Come and accept your deaths, Bone Kings! Let us end this once and for all!” Chief Valencia roared with great vigor, intending to finish the battle quickly.
”Accept our deaths, you say? No, no, no. You can destroy our vessels, but our souls will forever be with our lord. With our lord's protection, we can never truly die. We are imperishable.” One of the 3 Bone Kings said with a smirk.
