Chapter 77 Lord of War Hasting Part 2 (2/2)
Shaar’s eyes flashed with violence and ferociousness for a while, before it finally stopped. He gradually calmed down, but this seemingly tranquil appearance combined with his red eyes looked especially strange.
Clenching his teeth, his arms still trembled. Gently holding his fire pitchfork, he took a deep breath and slowly swung his weapon…
Five steps in front of him, a thigh thick wooden stake was silently divided into two halves…
Standing on the spot, Shaar’s shivering began to gradually calm down and blood started to flow down from the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that when he fiercely endured the madness a moment ago, he clenched his teeth so hard that blood was squeezed out!
The redness in his eyes was quickly disappearing. Shaar looked at the fire pitchfork in his hand, before looking at the broken wooden stake in front of him. Walking closer to take a look, he saw that the cut was extremely smooth!
“…” After swallowing once, Shaar suddenly burst out laughing from happiness: “Hahaha! I did it! I did it! Just like that!!!”
Then, he suddenly frowned: “But… the power seems a bit low. Moreover, just now the crimson fog didn’t appear like the previous times…”
The voice in his mind appeared again: “That’s the right way. The power was a little small because this is the strength you can control at this stage. If you constantly let the madness occupy your mind, you might perhaps unleash a more powerful outburst. However, your consciousness will be engulfed in madness and fade away. Unless you are an idiot,you would clearly understand that during a fight, even with an extremely powerful technique, if you encounter a real powerful enemy, you are dead.”
Shaar blinked his eyes: “Yes, that I understand. It’s like a drunkard wielding around a broadsword. Although his power is astonishing and sufficient to deal with an average person, once he ran into a fierce opponent, the other side can find many weaknesses…”
“…Although you are stupid, at least you are not an idiot.”
“…screw you!” Shaar discontentedly spat out a mouthful of blood: “Don’t think that because you are a dragon, you can leisurely scold this uncle! Right now you are only a ghost and if you provoke this uncle, I…”
“You will what?” The cold voice mockingly asked: “You going to kill me? If you want to kill me, you need to break his stone. However, this crimson rage ki can only be initiated with a magical crystal that has your soul imprinted in it! Are you willing to lose it?”
Shaar was unable to reply.
He just knocked on the door of success and tasted the benefit of this crimson rage ki’s powerful strength. If he hadn’t learnt about it, then he wouldn’t care. However, now that he had started to learn it, his mind would absolutely not give up on learning this unique technique by destroying the stone.
When the hillbilly didn’t speak, the voice of that dragon sighed.
“Human, how about we do a trade together?”
“Trade?”

“What a red dawn…”
On the hillside of a mountain valley, Kekkan casually stretched himself and let the morning sunlight sprinkle onto his body. Although it was winter, it still brought a faint warm feeling.
“Ah, this place is so good. In Odin, people could freeze to death during this season.”Kekkan casually shook his cloak and looked up to the blood red dawn, a strange light flashing in his eyes: “Such a bloody glow, it seems as if there was a slaughter in the East this morning…” Lowering his head and thinking for a moment, his mouth suddenly revealed a smile: “…Hasting, did you win another battle? Odin’s Lord of War, humph, another success added to his already brilliant record. Alas, such bloody glory, is in the end…”
This elegant Odin smiled: “…Is the end ominous.”
Finishing his sentence, he turned around to walk down the hill, and looked at the trembling attendant beneath it.
“Ah… is there any news concerning the 13th Army?”
“No, nothing… Your highness. They retreated and don’t seem to have the intention to attack once more.”
Kekkan smiled with satisfaction and walked past his attendant, before patting him on the shoulder. The opposite party immediately knelt down, overwhelmed by this praise.
“Alright, don’t be too anxious… Let the soldiers take a rest. At least before tomorrow evening, these Byzantines wouldn’t move out again. You must make the best use of this time to enjoy the last peaceful moment.” Kekkan’s face showed a happy expression, but his eyes seemed ice-cold. Turning back his head, he stared at the red sky again…
“Ah, such a beautiful red dawn. I wish I could listen to some harp…”
Pausing for a moment, He laughed:”Messenger.”
“Your Highness!”
“Ah… Go and find me a harp. I must play one!”
“…” His subordinate was dumbfounded.
He had gotten used to serving this eccentric Lord, however…
However, his Highness really has some orders that could really drive people crazy!

“You obtained my Dragonscales, but you don’t have any dragon magic. In your hands, these Dragonscales are nothing more than a slightly harder armor. However, my residual soul still has some remaining properties of dragon magic and I can inject it into the Dragonscales to improve their magic resistance. Also, with the long life of a dragon, I have accumulated plenty profound knowledge. Do you want to learn the Dragon martial arts? I can even teach you some Dragon spells! As long as I leave behind a part of my soul in your magic crystal that was imprinted along with your soul, then you can use this magic crystal to be used as a transmitter for some small Dragon magic and spells. Although it is quite weak, it is still real a Dragon spell! Furthermore …I can tell you the profound meaning of your life, which includes how to strengthen your soul! No matter what kind of life form, whether it is a lowly human or a higher being such as us dragons, a soul’s power greatly exceeds the bodily power. Even in the face of death, as long as you have learned this method, you can maintain the soul so that you don’t die. There is always an opportunity to find an appropriate mortal body to resurrect…”
The hillbilly’s face didn’t have a single trace of excitement, but his eyes stayed full of vigilance.
“Fuck! Talking about so many impressive things, what do you want this uncle to do for you? Talk about it first and if it’s something life threatening, you don’t even need to waste your breath. This uncle is currently living very happily.”
