Chapter 266 Tree Branch Swing Up, Tree Branch Swing Down!

Arriving at the sparring ground located behind the Dwarf King's royal palace, Alister and the Dwarf King faced each other but the two of them didn't make a move yet.

Contrary to the hero-slaying war axe that the Dwarf King was holding, a normal tree branch was used as a weapon by Alister.

As a grand-level powerhouse, the Dwarf King wasn't blind to not seeing that Alister was holding a normal tree branch. The Dwarf King knew that Alister wasn't lying to him and because of that, his confidence was off the charts!

The Dwarf King was confident that as long as Alister didn't use his aura and only used a normal tree branch instead of a grand-level sword, then it was already guaranteed that he would win!

Even the Demon King wouldn't brag that he could defeat the Dwarf King by using only a normal tree branch and not even using mana or aura.

After all, the Demon King was mostly reliant on his immortality and his demonic mana and aura. In terms of physical strength, the Dragon King far surpassed the Demon King.

But even the Dragon King wouldn't be arrogant enough to challenge the Dwarf King in a battle while using only a normal tree branch. Without aura, it was impossible since the normal tree branch would be destroyed by one's physical strength.

The Dwarf King wasn't even worried that the normal tree branch would be broken and Alister would resort to his fists. After all, the dwarves might be shorter than humans, but their physical strength was far stronger than humans.

With that confidence, the Dwarf King couldn't wait to have a spar with Alister.

On the other hand, Alister held the normal tree branch and pointed it towards the Dwarf King.

With indifference, Alister spoke, "Let our spar begin."

After Alister spoke those words, the Dwarf King immediately sprinted towards Alister with the hero-slaying war axe.

Although the hero-slaying war axe didn't counter Alister as Alister wasn't a hero, the hero-slaying war axe was still the strongest weapon that the Dwarf King possessed in his treasury. Compared to his other war axes, this was the strongest he had.

Although he was arrogant and confident that he would win regardless of what war axe he used, the Dwarf King wasn't stupid enough to use a weak war axe so he used his strongest war axe.

Arriving a few meters near Alister, the Dwarf King imbued his aura in his war axe and jumped above. With the war axe raised in his hand, the Dwarf King descended from mid-air towards Alister in a slamming motion using his war axe.

"Earth Splitter!"

Hearing the Dwarf King's war axe move, Alister remained indifferent even after seeing the slammed war axe heading towards his head.

In a swift motion, Alister moved his right hand which held the tree branch, and waved it towards the war axe. When the tree branch collided with the war axe, the tree branch was not only unscathed but the war axe even shook and lost its momentum!

"Normal Tree Branch Parry."

Alister's indifferent voice entered the Dwarf King's ears.

Under the Dwarf King's disbelief, not only the power of his earth splitter attack was negated and parried, but he was even thrown in mid-air.

Not wasting this opportunity, while the Dwarf King was in mid-air, Alister stepped forward and arrived near the Dwarf King.

Swinging his normal tree branch upwards, Alister hit the Dwarf King's body which caused the Dwarf King to fly higher into the air, "Tree Branch Swing Up!"

Before the Dwarf King could use aura walk to regain his movement in the air, Alister jumped up and followed alongside the Dwarf King who was spinning upwards in the sky.

Swinging his normal tree branch downwards, Alister struck the Dwarf King's body and slammed it towards the ground, "Tree Branch Swing Down!"

Like a ball slammed by a bat, the Dwarf King's body rapidly descended towards the ground. When the Dwarf King's body was slammed on the ground, a huge crater was formed on the sparring ground with the body shape of the Dwarf King highlighted at the center of the crater. n-(o/-v)-ε)/l-/b--1.(n

Web-like cracks formed around the center of the crater and it extended throughout the entire sparring ground.

It was like a man-made earthquake, causing the royal palace and the surrounding city to feel the ground shake intensely.

As for the Dwarf King, he felt as if countless bones in his body were broken.

It was worth noting that the Dwarf King had even used blacksmithing to temper his body. He was confident that his body was as strong as a dragon's body.

Compared to a human, it was far superior. Even if the Dwarf King fought against the Human Race's Grand Warrior, he was confident that he wouldn't lose and might even win.

However, when the Dwarf King was embedded on the ground with most of his bones broken, he started to doubt his life.

'What the heck just happened?!'

'How come a mere human defeated me without even using his mana and aura? On top of that, that mere human even used just a normal tree branch to collide with my hero-slaying war axe yet how come it's not broken?!'

'Did this human Alister cheat or not? But as far as I have perceived, that human didn't use his mana or aura.'

'However, there seemed to be a condensation of physical power a few centimeters on top of the tree branch that acted like a layer of barrier and power. How come someone has this exaggerated control over their physical power?!'

'This can only be achieved by aura but this human seemed to have a secret technique of materializing his physical power and it can even imitate the properties of aura.'

With that realization, the Dwarf King discovered that a tree branch didn't defeat him but what was used against him was physical power in the mold of a tree branch.

The technique was similar to using aura as a sword but in this case, the aura was substituted for pure physical power.

While the Dwarf King was embedded in the crater, Alister nonchalantly stated, "You lost, Dwarf King."
