Chapter 316 - Have You Seen a God Before?

Andros was a little guilty when he said that, but it didn’t mean that he was a coward.

The Viscount of Darkness only wanted to say out loud that the word ‘fear’ didn’t exist in his dictionary.

In the next moment, both of them dashed towards each other again.

Andros slashed downwards with his black sword, aiming straight at William’s face.

The Half-Elf prince didn’t dodge the attack. Rather, he used his left hand to grasp the ball of sword energy instead.

He didn’t care whether the secret of his left hand would be exposed. After all, the top four power centers had made it clear that they would only supervise and not kill the reincarnations of Gods.

Since he only possessed the Thunder God’s hand, they wouldn’t do anything to him.

Andros moved his sword slightly, but it didn’t hack onto William’s arm or body. Rather, the sword dealt a blow to the ground.

The surface of the ground instantly cracked as if it were a spider web that was rapidly expanding.

William retreated as fast as he could.

With every step he took backward, cold black flames constantly erupted from the cracks, which were getting closer to him.

Those dark flames were like the devil’s claws. They would drag people into an endless abyss.

After he retreated hundreds of meters away, he could finally see what was happening.

Andros was standing in a sea of black fire. While the flames surged into the sky, the temperature of the surroundings kept decreasing. It looked just like a living hell.

William couldn’t help but stare.

This feeling… It was the aura of the Dark World.

“He’s making use of his undying battle energy to create a temporary realm?” Witnessing the scene, William was finally 100 percent sure that Andros had been possessed by the Viscount of Darkness.

It wasn’t possible for Andros to create this scene, even if he was on drugs.

“Do you think that you can hide?” Andros tilted his neck and opened his mouth. Countless dark flames rushed out of his mouth.

He resembled a dragon that could breathe fire.

Or rather, once he finished spewing out all those black flames, they formed a realistic huge black dragon.

The dragon flew into the air and roared. It produced a sound so deafening that it could shake the heavens.

The next moment, it dived towards William.

The fiery dragon was extremely fast. When it flapped its wings, air currents were formed.

As the fiery black dragon glided through space, it left behind tiny black sparks in its path.

Finally, it came face to face with the Lord of the City of Dawn.

William slowly took a step back with his left foot. He looked up at the enormous dragon, which was more than ten meters long.

Light of Dawn!

The Sword of Hegni exuded sword energy that rushed up to the sky. William gripped the sword with both hands and swung it downwards, carrying several dozens of meters of sword energy with it.

Boom!

The dragon’s body was split into two.

Numerous black flames whizzed past William’s body from both sides.

The only place that wasn’t occupied by black flames was the place where the prince stood. Lightning flashed and dazzled everyone’s eyes.

Suddenly, black pillars of flames shot up from the ground, tossing William into mid-air as if he were a shot from a cannon.

Nonetheless, the prince had long since reached the Advanced level. He adjusted his position in mid-air and dodged several consecutive sword energy attacks.

He took out his Lightning Bow.

Fatal Shots!

Nine bolts of lightning struck down from the sky.

Each arrow produced an ear-splitting sound as they squarely hit Andros. The latter kept retreating, while his entire body became covered in blood.

However, Andros didn’t fall to the ground as everyone expected him to.

Instead, he walked forward, step by step. With every step he took, the arrows that pierced into his body turned into ash and gradually scattered across the ground.

At this moment, his face, arms, and palms were all covered in black tattoos, resembling a devil.

Many spectators saw this and almost wanted to shout at the referee.

Those were tattoos that were unique to devils.

It looked like that the Andros dude was using the power of a devil. Shouldn’t he be stopped?

However, several demon hunters frowned and said, “This clearly isn’t the power of a devil. Also, no devil has tattoos like this…”

“What’s that? Isn’t Andros drawing power from the Dark World?”

But now, the Legendary messengers from the top power centers hadn’t said anything, so no one dared to put a stop to this battle.

William knew that Andros’s true form wasn’t a devil.

He used to be a human.

He was a little boy that accidentally entered the Dark World, a human raised by a devil.

The devil didn’t kill him, but it didn’t teach him well too. Instead, it made him become the purest form of darkness in the Dark World.

The first living creature that the Viscount of Darkness had killed was his devil father, who had taught and raised him.

The tattoos on his body were a representation of the Dark World. They were given to him by the God of Darkness to celebrate his new life.

It signified that if the Viscount of Darkness was strong enough, he could create a new race in the Dark World.

The Viscount of Darkness looked at the tattoos covering his body. He couldn’t help but laugh. That Cursed Doll had forced him to reveal his true form.

He looked downwards at the little freak doll that was constantly stabbing at his chest, making him incessantly bleed. It was the reason he had been forced to activate the soul power he left behind in this body in order to take full control of it.

The Viscount of Darkness had powered up in all aspects, such as Power, Agility, and even his height and strength. He again dashed towards William with his cold black flames.

It could be said that one’s weapon was an extension of his battle energy.

As the Viscount of Darkness wielded his sword again, his seemingly solid battle energy continued to lengthen the blade of the sword. It was turning the blade into a Dragon-slayer blade that was more than three meters long.

What was a Dragon-slayer blade?

Basically, any narrow and long blade tool that was over two meters long could be considered as a Dragon-slayer blade.

The reason it was called that was because only a blade of this length could cut through the scales of a Great Dragon and reach its heart, possibly killing it in one shot.

Dragon-slayer blades were not only used by Dragon Slayers, but some professionals also liked to use it, for example, Burned Cinder.

Andros wielded his sword with his right hand. He was moving forward at high speed. Wherever he passed by, the black gleam of his sword could be seen.

The sword soaked up the endless dark flames on the ground, and Andros rushed towards William.

The scene resembled the sight of an ant about to be crushed by a hundred-meter tall mountain.

At the same time the attack came, William snapped his fingers.

Dozens of luminous shields immediately wrapped around him.

Boom! Boom!

Countless deafening explosions could be heard.

When the dust cleared, William could be seen kneeling down on one knee.

Blood dripped from his face, and his rune equipment had been damaged in many places. Black flames kept burning on the surface of his body. It was hard for him to recover from this attack within a short period of time.

Annie continued cheering for him at the side.

William didn’t disappoint. He looked up and grinned at the Viscount of Darkness, slowly standing up.

Boom!

Dozens of lightning bolts struck down on William’s head.

So what if William was struck by lightning?

At least it helped to extinguish those black flames on his body.

William took a satisfying deep breath and coughed out a mouthful of coagulated blood.

His eyes turned blue, and electric arcs constantly crackled on his arms. One could tell from seeing this that his thunder endowments were rather powerful.

The Viscount of Darkness looked at him and smirked. “Very good!”

Although he was also gasping for air, the Viscount of Darkness shouted in a furious voice, “Kill!”

He didn’t move, but the shock wave from his roar had already reached William.

In just a second, the Viscount of Darkness was already swinging his sword downwards on William’s head.

The latter raised his left hand to withstand the blow.

However, his body was still injured by the sword energy.

William merely held the Sword of Hegni tightly and pierced it into the Viscount of Darkness.

Both of them had the confidence of a winner.

They inflicted wounds on each other, none of them backing down.

Boom! Boom!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Destructive Sword Energy!

Everything in a 100-meter radius became surrounded by William’s Destructive Sword Energy. The burning dark flames were extinguished.

This explosive attack forced the Viscount of Darkness to retreat thousands of kilometers!

A huge bloody hole appeared at his abdomen.

Everyone could see that several parts of his ribs and spine had been broken.

Just when everyone thought that he was already dead, black flames appeared out of nowhere and covered his abdomen.

“A body is just a carrier of the soul. Even if I don’t have a body made out of flesh and blood, my dark flames are sufficient to replace it.” The Viscount of Darkness finally started to see William as a worthy opponent.

To him, the Lord of Dawn had been just a little cutie that hadn’t experienced life or death situations. However, this guy proved that he had the guts to risk his life in a battle, and he was rather strong too.

It was hard to find an opponent like this.

William coughed up a mouthful of blood again. It was only now that everyone could see his wounds.

Other than a small part of his back, which was covered by his inner armor, everyone could see the exposed bones down his entire back.

William’s left hand had taken the brunt of the attack, but it still caused some irreparable damage to his body.

For example, there was nothing much left of his right arm…

However, his left hand was way too strong! The spectators swallowed.

F*ck!

No matter how strong his arm was, it didn’t look like it could withstand such an attack.

Several single male professionals were shouting in their hearts, envious of William’s left arm.

Although it was true that he was wearing gloves, it probably wasn’t very useful. It was a miracle that his left hand remained unharmed even after taking on that attack!

“Is this even a human hand? That’s probably a God’s hand!”

“Are you dumb? No matter how strong that attack was, it was executed by a mere Grandmaster. An Epic expert’s body will be able to take on that attack. To say that he has a God’s hand is too much.”

“I’m just kidding, don’t take me seriously.”

As the spectators were gossiping amongst themselves, William’s body started visibly healing itself.

His body radiated a holy glow. It looked like it was healing his wounds.

Everyone was flabbergasted.

Several people, who seemed to realize something, couldn’t help but shout, “Damn, is that a blessing from the Goddess of Life?”

“How is that possible!”

“Isn’t the Goddess of Life dead?”

“Look, it’s his inner armor that’s glowing.”

“No, that’s not a blessing from the Goddess of Life. It’s a blessing from a professional that specializes in Vitality, and one very powerful one at that.”

“Have you guys heard of that legend before?”

William’s mind had gone blank.

Alice, his mother in this life, had been a professional that specialized in Vitality!

In the entire Gods continent, professionals who specialized in Vitality were extremely rare. He had never considered the possibility of this…

William glanced at the Viscount of Darkness, who was getting closer.

He slowly took off his rune equipment and inner armor, placing this armor that had protected his life countless times into his space ring.

He tried to smile, but his face took on a ghastly expression. “Unless a Vitality professional becomes a sage, they can only give one blessing in their entire life…”

“So, that’s why…”

“I thought that there was some kind of alternate dimension in the inner armor, or a lot of Life Potion was infused into it…”

The Viscount of Darkness looked at William, who looked like he was about to cry. He couldn’t help but mock him. “Why, your mum’s dead?”

Upon hearing that, William slowly raised his head with a cold gaze.

“Have you seen a God before?” He asked.

“What?” The Viscount of Darkness heartily laughed and tilted his head. He almost thought that he had heard wrong.

William ignored him and just looked at the glove on his left hand.

He took it off.

Suddenly, countless electric arcs flowed across his entire body.

Dark clouds instantly gathered in the sky.

Thousands of lightning bolts surged towards the tiny figure that was William.

He rose into mid-air, looking at the Viscount of Darkness with his bleeding eyes. “I’m asking you! Have you seen a God before?”

It was the first time that the Viscount of Darkness felt fear…

William’s voice reverberated around the arena.

With that, his body released numerous bolts of lightning

Countless bolts of lightning filled the sky at once!

The 10,000-meter arena became a lightning field that was hazardous to mortals.

Hand of the Thunder God!

It was not only physically strong.

Who knew what kind of power William could summon with it?
