Chapter 38 Battle Of Promise Part 2

Splash! Splash! Splash!

Three strikes!

Kiro launched three strikes and all three of them managed to pierce his Armament Technique. His body started bleeding once again.

Kim knew the difference in strength but he wasn't going to give up that easily.

"I don't have time to play with you. Since the princess is not dead, I must return her back to the kingdom. So, die for me!"

Kiro no longer wanted to just keep an eye on Hinata. His fiancee was robbed by someone else, so how he trust anyone anymore?

He instantly raised his sword, filling it up with internal energy. Kim was on the ground, supporting himself with his knees and forearms.

When Kim noticed the sword, he immediately opened his Emperor Eyes and Battle Soul.

"Soul Shock!"

"Ahhhhhh!"

When Kiro saw those eyes, he felt like his soul was ripped apart by the power of those eyes. He couldn't contain the pain.

"Cough!"

The next moment, he coughed out blood. He realized that his spiritual power was silent for quite a while.

Kim took advantage of it and used soul art against him. Kiro couldn't believe he fell for such a trick.

Or rather, he didn't know that Kim had such a trick.

Whoosh!

Kim pressed his foot against the ground and his body flew toward Kiro. He raised his hand from below and struck Kiro's chin with his fist.

Bang!

Kiro flew out like a cannonball and struck the ground. He felt like his jaws were breaking.

"Impossible! This power….. How could you have such a powerful Armament Technique?"

He couldn't believe the impact of the punch because just a moment earlier, he struck Kim's armament with his sword and managed to break it with ease.

Suddenly, he realized something.

'No! All of it was his plan. He made me let down my guard by getting himself injured and using a weird soul art to decrease my power. If this is his plan, then…..'

He couldn't even think more before Kim slammed his spear toward him. The thrust was so fast that Kiro instantly released his Armament Technique around his arm and blocked it.

Ding!

The powerful armament technique collided with the tip of the spear. Even though the sharpness of that spear wasn't low, it still couldn't pierce his skin.

This was the power of his Armament Technique but it didn't take long before that power disappeared and the tip finally pierced his skin.

'Damn it! Because of that soul art, I can't control my internal energy. He understood the difference in our strength and instantly made a plan to counter it.'

'If this guy gets stronger then…..'

No need to say anymore. Kiro's killing intent was enough to show his decision. In his heart, he had already decided that Kim must die at any cost.

Although he didn't know much about Kim, he managed to learn about Kim's personality from a previous interaction.

He wasn't afraid of the current Kim but if Kim grows up, he will definitely take revenge on his kingdom for killing the people of this town.

In his eyes, Kim was a passionate person. Such a person would have a good relationship with everyone.

That's why even for the Asura Kingdom, Kim must die here.

Kiro tried to shake the effects of Soul Shock and tried to control his Internal Energy. But while he was doing that, Kim launched another attack.

His spear struck Kiro's shoulder from the side. But, it didn't stop there. Kim realized that he couldn't completely pierce Kiro and kill him but he had a plan.

Kim struck his spear on the different parts of Kiro's body.

Each strike went underneath his skin and made him bleed.

'Damn it! If I only could use Armament Technique on the weapon.' Kim gritted his teeth. Although this method had a chance to work, it wasn't foolproof.

So, he was worried about Kiro's vitality. Because he had already heard about it from Hinata.

Just like how he didn't know the limit of his Spiritual Power, he couldn't guess the limit of his vitality.

After striking him for three minutes, Kim started to realize that his Armament was fading away. The total internal energy in the system space had already disappeared.

It would take a while to recover that much internal energy.

Knowing this, Kim instantly put away his spear.

Kiro was surprised to see that. He didn't expect Kim to back down at this moment. He couldn't see that Kim no longer had Armament Technique.

That means once his control returns, it would be easy to kill him.

'Maybe he is going to run away. But, I won't let you run away that easily.'

Kiro was sure that he would be able to control his internal energy in one minute. So, he was waiting. Even if Kim escapes, he would be able to find him.

Of course, Kim had no intention of running away. In fact, he had one last trick in his bag.

If it works, he would win and if it doesn't he will die.

His life and death would be decided by this trick.

When he put the spear inside the inventory, two blades appeared on his hand. When Kiro saw those blades, his eyes widened. These blades were identical to each other.

"Asura Blades. Heavenly Asura Blades. The legendary blades that were once held by the Asura God. How could you have these blades?"

"They were supposed to have faded with time."

For the first time in his life, he felt fear. Those blades, the legendary blades that were just legends in his mind were now in the hands of his enemy.

He recognized these blades instantly because there was a portrait of those blades.

Nearly six inches wide and a meter long blade. With the hilt made out of the scales of a dragon, the blade made out of the blood of the Asura God, the Strongest Metal of Hell, and the bone of a titan, this was the strongest blade.

It was a single blade but it can be separated into two blades. Asura God used two blades but since not a single blade could be compared to the Asura Blade, he used his own blood to create a special function in it.

Originally, it was only made with the Strongest Metal of Hell and the bone of a titan. The blood was added later which not only boosted its power but also gave it a powerful ability.

Holding two blades in his hand, Kim closed his eyes for three seconds. At this moment, a strange symbol appeared on his forehead.

When this symbol appeared, all of his internal energy was sucked into the blades.

[Heaven Severing Asura Art]

The mystical knowledge of the blade entered his mind. At this moment, his dantian was already empty but the blades were still trying to suck more internal energy.

Kim realized that his life force was slowly getting sucked by these blades.

He was right. With his little internal energy, he couldn't use these blades without any sacrifice.

But, it didn't matter at this moment. The moment he felt his blades trembling, he opened his eyes.

'Run! I must avoid this strike.'

For the first time in his life, Kiro turned around. His body shook a bit. In shock and fear, his control over his internal energy returned.

And, the Armament Technique formed the visible red armor around his skin.  Since Armament Technique was determined by internal energy, its color was also determined by the attribute of internal energy.

Since he was Asura, his internal energy was more like blood.

So, his Armament was also peculiar.

But, even with Armament around his body, he wasn't confident enough to face this strike.

Kim calmly pressed his foot against the ground and his body jerked forward. The massive energy in his blade reached out to every corner of his body.

[First Stance]

He bent his hands slightly and rotate with immense strength. His blades turned into a sharp dark red glow as they moved toward Kiro.

[Slicing the Tower of Heaven]

Splash! Splash!

The spinning blades slashed Kiro from the back and his body started bleeding. In front of the overpowering dark red energy, the Armament Technique was cut apart.

When his blade stopped moving, Kim's body suddenly felt an intense weakness. His legs were shaking and his hands were trembling.

Thud!

With little of his strength, he put the blades inside his inventory and fell on his knees. Although he was exhausted, he still kept his eyes open.

He was looking at Kiro, looking at his condition. Kiro was heavily slashed and his armament was broken but he wasn't dead.

He only fell to the ground.

When Kim saw that, he slowly smiled and also fell to the ground. But, a few seconds later, he gritted his teeth and put his arms on the ground.

He must return to them.

He must stand up. He can't lose consciousness right now. He shouted in his heart and slowly raised his upper body.

But, when he saw the person standing in front of him, he was stunned.

"You bastard, you thought I died. If I had taken that hit in my chest, I could've died but I blocked it with my back."

"Now, you no longer have any energy to fight. Tell me where those blades are."

Kiro held Kim's hair and shouted with rage in his eyes.

Kim couldn't even speak a word.

Suddenly, a kick slammed on his chest.

Whoosh! Bang!

His body flew back and collided against the wall. He coughed out blood and fell to the ground.

"Forget it! You must have a high-level spatial ring. Once I kill you, it will be visible."
