Chapter 436: Counterfeit Einherjar

Translator: OneshotwonderEditor: Hitesh_

Lee Moshan cast a stern glance at Einherjar Wannabe. The chill in the former's eyes made Wang Tong's hair stand on their ends.

Thanks to the training under Mr. Wannabe, Wang Tong was able to adjust himself quickly, and didn't let his opponent's imposing manner get the better of him. Nonetheless, Wang Tong reckoned that he had to be extra cautious, since this was a real fight in a deadly environment. Even without the threat of his opponent, he would quickly perish without proper protection against the elements.

Doubts flickered in Lee Moshan's eyes. He could only charitably assume that Einherjar Wannabe was better equipped inside than the METAL he wore outside.

Was his opponent really an Einherjar like everyone had claimed? Such unorthodox METAL suit and unorthodox tactics!

”I am Lee Moshan, and this is my Thunder Blade. What should I call you?” Lee Moshan introduced himself coldly.

”Einherjar Wannabe. A no account, just wanting to have some fun!” Wang Tong said in a nonchalant and witty tone.

Lee Moshan's face knotted; his opponent's voice sounded like a fledgling.

”Fine, if you so choose. Let's begin!”

Before Lee Moshan's voice faded away, lights burst out from the energy crystal atop his helmet and flooded the dark, unforgiving space.

This was the light that only belonged to Einherjars. This was the power of a demi-god!

If it were a new Einherjar such as Patroclus, he might find it hard to unleash his deadly force in the outer space, but it was not a problem for a veteran like Lee Moshan.

The process of transforming the soul energy into damage output through the Mastery was much easier on a planet where the substance of various attributes was abundant than in the absolute vacuum of the space. Unknown to most people, a primordial force flew freely in the space, although only a handful of top warriors could harness it.

Wang Tong was quickly overwhelmed by his opponent's overbearing power, and Lee Moshan felt his hesitation as well.

Lee Moshan registered that something was amiss: if his opponent were really an Einherjar, he shouldn't have been surprised by the power. However, if the mysterious fight were not an Einherjar, how could he have defeated so many powerful opponents?

Wang Tong quickly gathered himself. Although he was not yet an Einherjar, he had the valuable aid of his Soul Essence. It was the power of the soul essence that had thrown Lee Moshan's senses off.

Before Wang Tong could decide on an opening move, his opponent was already charging toward him, carrying the momentum of a mountain. Wang Tong registered that Lee Moshan's power was much deadlier than that of Patroclus.

Energy gushed towards Wang Tong from all directions, and it was not a move that could be quickly pulled off by a mortal. Luckily, this was not Wang Tong's first time fighting against an Einherjar, and therefore, he had expected such a struggle. He shifted his body left and right, trying to find a breakthrough, and he did.

Suddenly, Wang Tong's body flickered out of the view and reappeared a dozen feet away from where he was floating, out of harm's way. This one-second evasion was what set Wang Tong apart from 99 percent of the warriors in the world.

Although Wang Tong was out of the way, he blushed as if he had made a serious mistake. He knew that his opponent had detected the flaw in his last movement since he was off six feet from where he was aiming to land.

Wang Tong's soul essence could bring the soul energy up a few notches so that it was on par with that of an Einherjar, and Wang Tong had tapped directly into Mr. Wannabe's GN force so that he didn't have a disadvantage in that respect. However, since neither of the powers belonged to him, Wang Tong could not control them with ease.

Mr. Wannabe had given Wang Tong full access to his GN force as he reckoned that Wang Tong had grown up and needed to learn how to control his power.

Mettle and bravery were only half of the recipe for victory; the other half was finesse and cunning.
