Chapter 34

Inside the camp, be it the members of the Glorious Association or the humans who had been staying in the camp and nearly starved to death, everyone was looking at Anthony in shock.

Adams did not expect him to have already become a cultivator, yet he had hid that fact for nearly a month without anyone noticing!

“You… Since you are already a cultivator, why didn’t you fight against the Zergs outside? Why did you still get us to risk our lives for you?” The people who had been staying in the camp looked at Anthony and asked in shock.

Having revealed his strength, Anthony felt that there was nothing to hide. He laughed and said, “Hahaha! Indeed, I became a cultivator long ago. This coming-of-age ceremony is the icing on the cake and for me to earn a portion of the resources provided by the Empire. Why should I risk my life like all of you? Why should I care about your survival?”

The people, who had stayed in the camp the whole time, closed their eyes in despair. They regretted sticking with this terrible person all this while. They actually believed in a b*stard like that who was comparable to a demon!

Vivian and the others, who were lying on the ground, had blood trickling down from the corners of their mouths, but they were still glaring at Anthony without any fear.

“What? You guys still aren’t willing to concede defeat? Do you think Adams can save you? I’m a level-one Warrior from the Wester Family. No one here is my match!”

Anthony looked at Garen and the others with a nonchalant expression before turning to Vivian with a mocking expression and saying, “B*tch! If you had been willing to stay in the campsite back then and serve me instead of running around, I would’ve already completed your missions for you and I would bring you back alive!

“But now that you’re hanging out with these lowly commoners, it has infuriated me. However, I can still give you a chance. If you kill Adams with the bow in your hand right now and promise that the moment we go back, you will come to the Wester family to marry me and serve me well, I can still let you go back alive!”

Feeling like she had been insulted, Vivian’s eyes reddened as she rebuked, “In your dreams! Even if I die, I won’t associate myself with you! You disgust me!”

Taking a deep breath, Anthony’s gaze gradually turned cold. He walked forward and slashed at Vivian.

Clink!

Just as Anthony’s sword came down, a blue ray of light fended off the sword blade.

Anthony was slightly stunned. He looked up and realized that Adams had appeared beside him and blocked his attack with a blue sword.

“Don’t get it wrong, your opponent is me!” Adams shouted coldly and kicked Anthony in the abdomen.

Anthony, who was kicked, quickly retreated. He clutched his slightly painful abdomen and looked at Adams. He said in shock, “Interesting! Looks like you didn’t complete the missions through sheer luck!”

Adams had a cold expression on his face. He raised the longsword in his right hand, while his left thumb secretly pressed the quantum ring on his index finger.

At present, it was not difficult for Adams to defeat Anthony, but if he were to reveal that he was also a level-one warrior, it would cause a lot of trouble when he went back.

Hence, even if he wanted to get rid of Anthony, he had to be careful about it!

Anthony could not be bothered to waste any more time. He bellowed loudly, “Today, I will let you die by my sword. At the same time, I will let them witness the Wester Family’s unique A-rank martial arts technique, Holy Light Slash, before they die!”

Before he finished his sentence, Anthony had already drawn his sword. Just like a holy light, a huge golden blade of light descended from the sky and passed judgement on Adams.

Everyone watching this battle saw the malicious and deceitful Anthony use this brilliant offensive skill. It was like a slap in the face!

Adams, who was under the holy light, immediately dodged to the side. A dazzling brilliance covered his body in the blink of an eye, making it difficult for people to see his movements.

Adams, who had his body covered in light, seized the opportunity and slashed at Anthony with the Nine Swords of Flying Star, which had the blood-devouring effect. Instantly, he slashed with a crimson ray of light that went attacking towards Anthony.

Anthony was taken aback at this sight. He did not expect Adams to also be a cultivator participating in the coming-of-age ceremony.

“Holy Light Shield!”

Anthony did not dare to be careless when facing a cultivator. He raised his sword in front of him and a golden ray of light shielded his entire body, blocking Adams’ sword ray.

Seeing that even the upgraded Nine Swords of Flying Star could not hurt Anthony, Adams, who had been waiting for this moment, took out a lightning scroll and crushed it before throwing it at Anthony.

Sizzle!

A burst of lightning instantly surged up and illuminated the entire camp, allowing everyone on the other side of the holy light to see clearly.

Only the members of the Glorious Association knew that it was Adams using a magic scroll. The others could only hug their shoulders as they hid in a corner and trembled. They cried out inwardly, Anthony is too terrifying!

On the other side of the Holy Light, Anthony, who was bathed in the lightning, was still enveloped in a golden light and was not hurt at all. Looking at Adams, Anthony flashed him a smug smile.

Adams sighed. He was frustrated that his S-rank offensive skill was unable to break through the defense of an A-rank offensive skill. At the same time, he was hesitating whether he should use the A-rank spell scroll in his hand or the S-rank spell scroll which he only had two of.

“Hint, successful battle observation! The first form of the Nine Swords of Flying Star has obtained the shielding effect!”

Adams was reinvigorated when he heard this. It was not only because he had learned the shielding effect, but also because the Nine Swords of Flying Star had the special effect of countering all combat skills.

As long as Adams saw through the essence of the combat skill, it was as good as the opponent exposing their flaw. From there, there would be nothing to worry about!

In Adams’ field of vision, there was a dazzling marker on Anthony’s elbow.

“Found the weakness!”

Adams immediately seized the opportunity to rush forward and slashed at Anthony’s elbow.

Crack!

The Holy Light shield that could fend off the Nine Swords of Flying Star and C-rank spell, instantly shattered like an eggshell.

Adams’ Winter Sword did not slow down in the slightest as it made a slash from Anthony’s elbow all through to his chest!

In the end, the light went away. Everyone could finally see Adams who had his back to them and Anthony who had a lot of blood on his chest.

Anthony’s eyes widened as he stared at Adams in disbelief. Finally, his gaze turned to the humans who were about to starve to death in the camp. Mustering all his strength, he said indignantly, “I can’t believe you’re also…”

Before Anthony could finish his sentence, a cold sword gleam flashed past. The Winter Sword in Adams’ hand slashed Anthony’s throat, rendering him speechless and ending his life simultaneously!

“That’s right, I’m also a cultivator! My use of the sword is just a pretense. I’m actually a Mage!” Adams said calmly with his back to everyone as he looked at Anthony who had lost all signs of life.
