Chapter 438: How To Provoke An Einherjar

Translator: OneshotwonderEditor: Hitesh_

Wang Tong was aware of his choices and the risks, so he hesitated.

”I just don't understand how someone delinquent like you would have won Lan Qinyue's favor.” Lee Moshan complained. On the surface, the fight was a battle between two Einherjars. However, the real reason that motivated Lee Moshan to fight was Lan Qinyue. As an Einherjar, he could have anything he wanted in the world, except for Lan Qinyue's heart. He had courted her fruitlessly for many years, but time didn't dull his enthusiasm. Even after Lee Moshan was married, he never hid his admiration and affection towards the goddess. Lee Moshan's current wife was not a fighter, so naturally, he felt they lacked a common ground. After their honeymoon period and the birth of a child, Lee Moshan had stopped paying attention to his wife entirely.

As of recently, loneliness and years of suppressed desires had spurred him to crave for Lan Qinyue even more—a typical middle life crisis. He dreamed of toiling in bed with her goddess and drinking her nectar of love. What a life it would be!

Lee Moshan's words didn't sit well with Wang Tong. He never minded insults towards himself, but he couldn't bear a second of listening to his opponent undermining Mr. Wannabe's power.

Wang Tong was an orphan, so very few people had cared about him, and neither did he care about the rest of the world. However, Mr. Wannabe was one of those who was near his heart.

Although Wang Tong never admitted it, he admired Mr. Wannabe even more than the Blade Warrior. Compared to the delinquent Old Fart, Mr. Wannabe was more like a father to Wang Tong in many aspects.

”Kom!”

Wang Tong had reminded himself to remain calm, but he felt the anger already reaching his throat, about to burst out. The anger spurred the GN force to spread across his body and neutralized the paralyzing effect.

Once he had regained his mobility, he gathered strength and was ready to unleash his retribution.

Wang Tong attacked with abandon. He had chosen to drop all attempts at defense and use the aggressive Layered Fist of Tong. The defense would be useless if his offense failed.

”Kom!”

Wang Tong's first strike had missed.

Lee Moshan flickered in and out of view in a zigzag pattern like a snaking lightning. It was impossible to predict where he would appear next.

”Haha. Someone's upset. Anger is not going to take you far. You need strength to back it up.”

”Kom!”

A blade aura landed squarely on Wang Tong's back and made him stagger. Before he had regained balance, Lee Moshan reappeared behind him like an apparition.

Another blade aura landed on Wang Tong and sent him lurching forward. Despite the METAL suit's protection, he had taken a considerable portion of the damage. Before he had time to react, he was dealt another blow, and it was on his head this time. The consecutive blows quickly snuffed the fire inside Wang Tong as he conceded that he was much weaker than his opponent.

Strength needed to be complemented by a strong will, and it was the other way around as well. Wang Tong was not the only martial arts genius, since almost every Einherjar was as talented as him.

With his limbs dangling, Wang Tong's body floated in space like a ragdoll. He had lost the control of his body. Lee Moshan could have done away with him then and there, but he didn't think Wang Tong was even worthy of being killed by an Einherjar, and neither was he interested in learning his real identity. To him, the floating Wang Tong was nothing more than a piece of space garbage.

Thus it was, the fight of Einherjars had reached a very anti-climatic ending.

No one spoke a word on Earth while on the Moon, everyone was savoring the victory, a payback for their recent defeat at the tournament.

”Mother...” Qinyue was not sure what to make of the ending. Her mother had never been so obsessed with any other individual as she was with Einherjar Wannabe. However, the outcome of the fight made it clear that there was nothing unusual about the mysterious fighter, other than his mysteriousness.

If Lan Qinyue felt a sense of doubt, she didn't show it on her face.

Was that overwhelming sense of regret and sorrow she felt during the fight nothing but an illusion?
