Chapter 1808 Arrived

A battle between Martial Seniors.

It was not something that human beings were qualified to bear witness to under normal circumstances. The sheer power output of Martial Seniors was so high, that death was a certainty even if the spectators were hundreds of meters away. Such was the destructive power of those who had harnessed the full potential of the Martial Body.

Of course, the Kandrian Empire most certainly possessed the powerful infrastructure needed to allow spectators to survive and witness the riveting battle between Martial Seniors. That usually came at the cost of freedom in battle.

In this case, the Martial Senior battle was not a commercial event.

Thus, neither side saw fit to bother getting spectators.

This was purely a duel for the throne.

For the future of Kandria.

Naturally, because the stakes were so high, it instantly drew massive amounts of attention not just across Kandria but from across much of East Panama as well. Discover new chapters at novelhall.com

"What is he thinking?!" Chairman Decker exclaimed with horror. "He had a clear path to victory in the long run, which is trying to hasten the final step with such an absurd risk?!"

Guildmaster Bradt narrowed his eyes as he studied the report, maintaining his composure.

He had to admit that, on the surface, it was an incredibly stupid and irrational gamble. There was no need to try to secure the final supporter in a month when it was known he had four years left. It was better to use long-term strategies to secure the final high-ranking government official that he needed.

However, Guildmaster Bradt knew that Rui wasn't stupid.

Thus, it meant that Rui was aware of the risks and deemed them worth undertaking. It didn't really make sense why he would deem it worth undertaking unless he was extremely arrogant about his own Martial prowess or...

"...Or there's some other important consideration that he's hiding," Guildmaster Bradt narrowed his eyes.

He had no idea what it could be. Regardless, it didn't matter. He had already hedged his bet with Rui. Not even he could afford to pull out of a faction twice in rapid succession. He had invested a lot in Rui.

"Besides," He closed his eyes. "I do not believe that the prince would have taken this course of action had he not been confident. He also, in my experience, is able to accurately evaluate what he is and isn't capable of."

He would have never won the Shionel Dungeon War, as far as Guildmaster Bradt was concerned.

"Let us wait and watch."

This was a sentiment that was echoed across the political sphere of the Kandrian Empire.

That was all they could do, after all. They were unable to intervene in the agreement, and it had already been signed and thus would unfold no matter what.

He gritted his teeth, clenching his fists. "I, the Martial Prince, request an audience with Sir Armstrong, the Gatekeeper of the pinnacle of the Senior Realm!"

RUMBLE!

Prince Raijun widened his eyes with shock as the mountain shook.

It tremored.

The very lands beneath them roared.

"...What is this?!" Prince Raijun yelped in fear. "Is he activating his Martial Heart?! Is he launching an attack?!"

"...No, Your Highness," One Martial Master gravely replied, meeting the prince's fearful eyes.

"That's just his Martial Body moving."

THUD

The Martial Masters grew more severe.

THUD

Prince Raijun knew, on a rational level, that he was safe.

THUD

He knew there was no reason to fear.

THUD

Yet when he beheld the gargantuan eight-foot behemoth that emerged from the lake, he could not maintain his composure.

The man didn't look human.

His skin and flesh had been conditioned so much that they may as well have been of a different species altogether.

His muscles had muscles.

His bones radiated a sense of impregnable solidity.

His body seemed to generate its own gravitational field.

The Gatekeeper had arrived.
