Chapter 1048 Start of the Fight

Chapter 1048 Start of the Fight　　The Dark King immediately leaped back to regroup with the Frost Saint.

Their eyes intertwined. Even though the Frost Saint had a serious face, he made a gentle nod and said with a heavy tone. "En. Sorry for this, but I truly need to take care of him right now. I will make it up later."

"Hehe. Just a single spar is enough for me since I don't think I can win against him anyway."

"Yeah." The Frost Saint examined his injury before proceeding to walk forward while saying, "After your injury recovers, that is."

The Dark King closed his eyes with a smile on his face. He politely bowed his head while putting his hand on his chest.

After letting him pass, the Dark King glanced at his horse Seelzik, especially the one on top of him, Theo. He finally understood Theo's real intention for bringing Seelzik away.

As his partner, Seelzik often brought him to the Frost Saint for a battle, so he was aware of the Frost Saint's whereabouts.

Seelzik then calculated the time for them to go there. If it took too long, the battle would have been concluded, so he made sure the Frost Saint was close. If this condition wasn't fulfilled, the next plan would be to gather multiple King Class Monsters from the surrounding area.

That was why Seelzik agreed to bring Theo to the Frost Saint, which happened to be not far from them.

Without hesitation, he leaped back to the horse while locating his wife. However, it seemed his wife had left this area, which was good since he didn't need to be afraid of the potential danger.

"It's surprising that you could actually convince him to come here." The Dark King smirked.

"Seelzik contributed greatly." Theo shrugged. "Besides, I never thought there would be someone at his level hiding inside that base."

"Never mind that. All I want to say is…" The Dark King turned back to the Frost Saint and said, "Watch the battle. It will surely improve your perspective about Orders."

Theo nodded with a grim expression, planning to do it even without him telling him.

After that, the Frost Saint approached the Fist Saint and said, "I know that I can't freeze you that easily. It's time for you to break that ice."

As soon as he said that, the ice suddenly cracked and shattered like glasses.

"As expected from the Frost Saint, your freezing power is too strong." The Fist Saint smirked. However, there was a tinge of fear accompanying that smirk. It was clear that they could feel the difference between their power.

Now that the Dark King had exhausted him a bit, the Fist Saint had been planning to escape.

The Frost Saint grabbed his club and released a massive killing intent.

Suddenly, the clouds in the sky gradually moved toward them. The snow started pouring down, decreasing the temperature in this area.

Even Theo was surprised by this power. He raised his head and looked at the snow, thinking, 'Hmm? The cloud… I can feel immense power from the cloud. Is that an artificial cloud?'

As if understanding his question, the Dark King smiled and said, "You're wrong. That's a real cloud, but with the help of territory."

"Territory? And how do you know the question in my head?" Theo's eyebrows twitched.

"The Frost Saint is using his Magic Power to gather that cloud in one place and mark it with the Covenant Seal, turning that cloud into a way to create a domain of his own. It's easy for you to remove the Covenant Seal anyway, and you can make any place your territory. Though, there are a few requirements that need to be made… Even he doesn't tell me anything about it." The Dark King explained.

"Covenant Seal…" Theo muttered in a low voice. "In other words, the cloud is like a mobile domain to increase his power."

"Yeah." The Dark King then pointed at the black ground. "Look at that black ground over there?"

"Yes."

After getting the confirmation, the Dark King waved his hand. The black ground soon returned to its original color. "That's my domain."

If Theo watched the battle this whole time, he would realize that the teleportation ability that the Dark King utilized this whole time was related to his domain.

However, this alone was enough for Theo to understand a few things.

"I tried to replicate his power, but I still couldn't use it at his level." The Dark King sighed, feeling a bit dejected.

"Mhm." Theo nodded with a serious expression and started observing again.

While they were talking, the Frost Saint glared at the Fist Saint. "It seems you want to kill me that much. If that's the case, you have your chance now. I'm here. Kill me!"

The Fist Saint's expression darkened. If he could defeat the Frost Saint alone, there was no need for them to create that weapon and join hands with another Authority Level Figure.

So, when he heard those words, the Fist Saint denied it immediately. "How can I? Even with my strength, I can't defeat a real World Class Monster…"

"But you…" The Frost Saint squinted his eyes, clearly seeing the immense fighting intent emanating from the Fist Saint's body. He had fought the Dark King many times to know that this person was raring to fight.

Without hesitation, he raised his club and formed a massive ice boulder that was as big as his upper body, making it fall down. "…should have hidden that fighting intent while saying those words!"

The Fist Saint smiled and lowered his body, grabbing a small rock on the ground.

After coating that small rock with his Authority, he threw it upward.

This small rock and massive boulder looked like an ant planning to fight against an elephant.

Yet, the moment they collided, many cracks appeared on the massive boulders as they broke apart in all directions.

"!!!" The Dark King and Theo widened their eyes, shocked. They never expected such a small boulder could actually destroy an ice sphere that looked like a meteor.

The Fist Saint smiled and said with a grim tone. "Even though I don't have enough strength to defeat you, it doesn't mean I can't do anything."
