Chapter 826:- Powerful Illusion Artist

Chapter 826:- Powerful Illusion Artist

"I want to fight this woman!!" "You all stay back!!" Robert was already walking forward. He had a massive grin on his face. "But, sir!!" Kael looked very helpless.

"Stay back!!" This time, Robert said it in a stern tone. Not wanting to offend Robert, none of the five Generals or anyone else said anything. They just exchanged helpless gazes. If their Emperor Charles had been here, then perhaps they could have stopped him. What made them feel frustrated was the fact that a stranger who wasn't even in their military was leading them to the biggest war in their Empire's history. And now, he was taking all the spotlights for himself. 'What was His Majesty thinking?' Kael wondered in his mind. When he was informed that Robert would be the Commander leading them in this war, Kael nearly protested, but he stayed silent out of respect and fear towards the Emperor. "Victoria, was it? Come at me!! Show me what you got." Stepping forward, Robert openly challenged Victoria. Victoria was about to respond, but Lilith stopped her. "Remember, this isn't a solo fight." "Don't try to fight a battle that you know you will lose." Lilith had to remind her. After all, Victoria was also a battle maniac. Aditya wasn't here right now. They cannot afford to be reckless. Maybe just one mistake could cost them a lot. Victoria stopped and looked at Lilith. As their gazes met, both of them understood what the plan was. She just nodded her head and accepted Robert's challenge. "I am Victoria!! I am the Knight of the Dragon Monarch." "And I accept your challenge!!!" Robert's grin widened as he looked at the tall woman walking towards him. "Everyone move back!!" Knowing that the shockwave of two powerful Peak 5th-order cultivators would harm their lower-order soldiers, Spencer wanted everyone to retreat to a safe distance. Kael noticed this and also issued the same order. This wasn't the real war. But this was a very important battle. From the looks of it, this Victoria woman was their strongest cultivator. If Robert manages to kill or capture her, then their chances of winning this battle would increase. But if Sir Robert was to fall, then their chances of winning this battle would significantly drop. Compared to the Istarin Empire, the Dune Sovereignty was taking the bigger risk. This whole war was waged because Charles believed in Robert's strength. If he died, then it was the end. "What is he doing?" Charles, who was watching everything in his Palace, wondered out loud. "Besides, where is the Dragon Monarch?" Charles was sure that this whole invasion would be enough to bring Aditay out of the Dragon Palace. In every important war that the Istarin Empire has fought, Aditya always has led his troops. It can also be said that because of him, his troops never even needed to fight or die. He would usually end the war by himself. Before this invasion, Charles tried to find out what the Dragon Monarch was doing these days. However, getting information about the top forces in the Six Continents was easier than getting any private information about the Dragon Monarch's life. It wasn't just him, but also the lives of the people who are very close to him are shrouded in a thick fog of mystery. Until now, Charles had no idea who the two women under the veil were.

"Don't screw this up, Robert!!" Charles has never felt this stressed in his life. Charles took the gold glass cup filled with red wine from one of his maids. The maid was standing behind him. Today, her only job was to continue pouring wine. She did her job so efficiently that other than the sound of red wine pouring into the gold glass, no other sound came from her. It was like she did not even exist.

After drinking a few gulps, he wiped his mouth with his forearm. "Bastard, because of you, I have gambled everything that I have. If you lose, then I will have nothing left."

"I will lose whatever I earned after more than 15000+ years of hard work." Just the thought of losing everything made his chest tighten. •••

Victoria walked towards Robert. Riya stood with others and silently watched everything.

'In this match, I may bleed, I may shed sweat, but I will never stain the flag of your Domain with shame.'

'As long as I am alive, I will never allow the name of your Empire to be stained with shame.'

Swoosh!!!

The 6-foot-tall Dragonian appeared in front of Robert in a matter of seconds.

The black gauntlets that she wore glowed with 5 golden rune circles as she aimed to punch his face. Robert was surprised by how fast her attack had become. It was like the speed of her punch was increased by 70 to 80%. But he was still able to narrowly dodge the punch. As he dodged, another punch came in his path. This time, he grinned as he intended to grab her fist and punch her stomach. But as he was about to grab her wrist, her gauntlet was covered in spiky earth. Robert was again surprised. He changed his plan midway, shifted the weight on his body to the right, and dodged her attack entirely. Victoria followed with a few more punches and kicks which Robert comfortably dodged. "Damn, he is fast!!" Riya said out loud. Even she could barely follow his movement. "This is what makes him so dangerous."

"Despite being a Peak 5th-order, he is way above normal 5th-order cultivators," Sasha commented. "These types of cultivators are called Calamity Class Cultivators," Amelia explained. As for Lilith, she already knew of this special class. "Victoria isn't your normal everyday Peak 5th-order cultivator, is she?" Amber fought her. She knew just how dangerous this woman was. While she had to give her all, Victoria did not even break a sweat in their spar. While Amber was really struggling, Victoria wasn't even giving her all. Fortunately, Victoria ended the spar with a draw and allowed Amber to save her face. 'Now she is in the same situation, but in this case, her position is reversed.' Although Amber couldn't follow their movements clearly, just like Riya, from what she had seen so far, it was clear that Robert was going easy on her, at least for now. "She is a Calamity Class Cultivator, but even in the Calamity Class, there are huge gaps since the boundaries are not that defined well. There are some monsters that are capable of taking down even Peak 6th-order cultivators while being Peak 5th-order." "Let's just hope nothing happens to her!!" Riya said in a worried tone. She did not want Victoria to die. "She won't lose this easily!!"

"She still hasn't used the ability to borrow 25% of Adit....cough!! I mean His Majesty's stats and one of his innate skills."

"Once this uses this, for 10 minutes, she will become even more powerful." Other than, Victoria, Amber could also borrow this power. She was the second person whom Aditya selected. "So you can also do this?" Amber just nodded. Amelia and Lilith were a little bit relieved. "But who is the 3rd-person?" Riya asked. "It's my master!!" "Oh!! That woman!!" Liilth's eyes instantly brightened. She wanted to bully her, but the situation did not allow her to leave the front line. "Where is she?" Amelia asked while looking around. "Sir Spencer is using her illusion abilities to inflict as much damage as possible on the enemies." She was following Spencer's orders. "But wait? I thought using this ability required one to have a drop of his Divine Blood?" Sasha asked. "Before His Majesty left, he transformed her into a Dragonian." Everyone was relieved to know that there was another powerful 5th-order cultivator on their side. ----------------
