Chapter 547-548:

The fight in the eternal Battlefield lasted only an instant but it would forever live in the mind of those who witnessed this incredible feat.

Even now, records of what happened were being sent everywhere. After all, the fight between two countries was always of interest for the rest of the world. Even more so when it came to the birth of a new legend.

After putting down the two sages and making sure they were unable to fight, Lilin proceeded in systematically killing all those who were loyal to Lupus as listed by Camelia and the Crown's shadow.

Alongside her band of knight, they bathed in the blood of their enemies, uncaring about their pain and cries for surrender.

Like a demon, Lilin made blood flow everywhere, giving the impression that rivers of blood were flowing.

In nothing but a short day, the news was already all over the world and citizens of Lustburg were cheering once again.

Thus was born the legendary Sword Demon.

Somewhere in Wratharis, a small gathering was happening, as four people stood all around each other, drinking and generally just talking quietly.

It was hard to call this a party. But there was undoubtedly a courant of warmth and joy in the atmosphere.

At least this was so until the fifth person entered with rather shocking news.

“Jialong and Camel lost.”

Silence fell at the shocking statement. they were able to relax only when they realized that the word ‘lost’ was used rather than ‘killed.’

There was nothing wrong with losing, every one of them in this room had lost an unknown number of times as they searched for greater height.

“Oh? The geezer lost? How many fought against them? Did a King move?”

Even so, it was very surprising for the two of them to lose like this. Neither Camel nor Jianglong were the strongest in their groups even when taking Wukong outside of the rankingt as they always did.

But at their current level, the level of power between each of them was not particularly obvious.

In their opinion, if a King didn’t take action, most likely a few hidden Dukes from Lustburg must have launched a sneak attack. This was the only actual logical way in their mind.

Sadly — This train of thought was dashed once again.

“There was only one person.”

“...”

“Seriously? They lost one after another against the same person?”

“...They lost at the same time.”

“Huh...?”

“Seriously?”

“Damn.”

They all whistled in surprise, this was big news alright. Losing two vs one means that the one who fought them was a Duke who was very close to the level of King.

Perhaps a Duke who already knew their true name and was simply waiting for ascension or a better name. Such a thing was not rare, in fact, the two strongest of their group, the Bull King and the Lion King were in the same situation. They could have jumped to the level of King long ago but they knew that if they did, this would be all. Their chance of becoming a Demigod would be extremely low.

This was not what they wanted and there was no way they would settle for something average.

“Is there still a Duke who is strong enough to win against us in the mortal realm outside of the witches?”

“Who is the one who beat them?”

This was not arrogance on their part. They had truly wreaked havoc all over this world from high to low and even middle. They fought against both devils and angels, and even the elves were not ignored.

Sometimes they won, sometimes they lost but in the end, they always won more than they lost until no one dared to even challenge them.

They were the uncontested strongest in Wratharis and could have all had their clans if they wished.

“Hum... The one who took them down. Well, it’s slightly ironic when you think of this but it’s Lilin Luxuria, daughter of Lilith Luxuria. They call her — The Sword Demon.”

Kun Peng did not wait for any more words and immediately left the house, excited to go fight after a long while.

As for any divine punishment? He was not worried in the slightest.

No matter how much they identified themselves with Wratharis —- They were not part of this country. They were not Beastmen.

Meaning...They were not restricted by the Blessings.

Watching Kun Peng vanish in the distance, the Bull King asked quietly to Sun Wukong

“Will that stupid dog not complain?”

“He is still my king, you know?”

“He is no king of mine.”

Bull simply shrugged and asked again, “So?”

“Of course, he will complain. That man can do nothing else but reject the fault of failure onto other people. Though in this case, I guess he would be right.”

Sun Wukong had no particular feelings for the King. Be it this one or the previous one. In the end, this kind of thing did not matter to him and he would rather spend his time having fun by fighting and training than focus on a useless war of succession.

Even so, he had to admit that Lupus had a very special way of making him very angry sometimes and he had to fight the urge to simply crush that bastard and would have done so already if he wasn’t worried about the blessing.

Weirdly, he was considered part of Wratharis. So he was still affected.

“Well. I guess it’s time to train.”

The only woman left out of the seven sage clapped her hand, making all the tea seats vanish. It was time for them to fight, this fight would be different from everything they had until now and so they would train.

[Main Battlefront]

In the main battlefront, there was no interference from other countries such as Souther Pride and Envilya.

This place was the direct place where Lustburg and Wratharis shared a border. This was the Silk Road so to speak; a very strategic and important point that no side wanted to concede on.

This was also the place where there was the highest concentration of soldiers from the two countries.

Unlike the Eternal Battlefield where even Ruffian ran rampant and mercenaries were accepted, in this place, only discipline was to be respected. The higher-ups were all soldiers related to the Highland in one way or another, bringing the necessary order.

Athena and Ares, using their talents, were able to push back the enemy many times even though they had a clear advantage over them. They were already well respected in this place, Athena more so than Ares. But this was inevitable.

Even though she was not a Duke, Athena could already summon a power equivalent to that of a zone, covering a great part of the battlefield and saving many soldiers with her power.

In hushed tone, some called her already a goddess of war, and the less daring called her princess one could say that this place was where all the loyalists of the crown were.

‘This is why this is all the more awkward.’

Lustburg was a Melting pot of a nation and even now, people of other races have reached higher positions.

—But...They never dealt with a bonafide Blessed.

This was a completely different matter and the fact that she was somehow the Prince’s fiancee made everything harder.

In this place —Setsuna was slowly isolated.

Standing on a field, looking at the soldier going through a drill while clad in armor showed how much freedom they had currently.

Setsua admired this while holding a report about Lilin's grand display of power.

She was quite jealous. After all, unlike her, Lilin was already making her proof to the world;

‘It’s time for me to act.’

She just needed a reason.
