Chapter 390 Act Of Heroism



Shin watched in awe as the cloaked man effortlessly defeated the skeleton warriors, shattering a heavy great sword with just his bare hands. 'Should I join the battle?' Shin wondered as he observed the mysterious figure.

But what really caught Shin's attention was the man's occasional act of heroism, saving innocent humans from harm's way amidst the chaos of battle.

"I suppose he's kind," Shin mused to himself.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Shin caught sight of a skeleton warrior charging straight at him.

Shin briefly considered activating his flame vortex to defend himself, but then a new idea occurred to him and he couldn't help but smile. He sat down on the ground, calmly waiting for the skeleton knight to approach.

Without warning, the skeleton's skull shattered into a million pieces as it drew near to Shin. Shocked, Shin looked up and saw the cloaked man standing over the fallen warrior, his hand outstretched and a look of determination on his face. 

'This guy…'

'He is trashing everyone skeleton here by himself…'

Shin was awestruck as he watched the man effortlessly dispatch every skeleton warrior in sight. The cloaked figure had already saved six people, including Shin, and he showed no signs of slowing down.

As the man continued to fight, his black cloak was torn, revealing his striking features. Shin couldn't help but be impressed by the man's youthful good looks and majestic silver hair. Despite his dark attire, the man's eyes were a piercing black that seemed to hold an otherworldly power.

Blue flames swirled around the man's hand, enhancing the force behind each of his strikes. Suddenly, a skeleton warrior appeared behind him and launched a surprise attack. To everyone's amazement, the silver-haired man blocked the punch with his own, enveloped in the same blue flames.

As the two fists collided, shockwaves rippled through the arena, accompanied by the sound of bones cracking. The skeleton warrior was shattered to pieces while the man's fist remained unscathed, not even a scratch marring its surface.

The onlookers watched in awe, realizing that they were witnessing something truly extraordinary. This silver-haired warrior was no ordinary man.

The silver-haired man's smile only widened as the skeleton warriors charged towards him with rage in their eyes. Despite their immense strength and speed, the man proved to be faster and stronger than them.

One of the warriors swung a heavy great sword towards the silver-haired man, but he effortlessly dodged it with a simple backflip. As he landed, blue flames engulfed his leg and he channeled all his strength into a single strike. The leg connected with the great sword in a thunderous collision, sending shockwaves across the arena.

To the amazement of everyone watching, the great sword shattered into countless pieces upon impact, leaving the skeleton warrior defenseless. The silver-haired man wasted no time, and with a single swift motion, he delivered the final blow, shattering the warrior's bones and reducing it to dust.

The silver-haired man let out a laugh of triumph as he punched the armor of the fallen skeleton warrior. As his fist connected, cracks began to appear on the metal plating, and the blue flames that surrounded his hand began to spread, engulfing the entire skeleton in a blaze.

Within moments, the skeleton warrior was reduced to ash, and the silver-haired man stood victorious amidst the destruction he had wrought. He surveyed the carnage with a sense of satisfaction, as if relishing the challenge that the skeletons had presented.

"Ha! That was just too easy!" he exclaimed, grinning from ear to ear.

Surprisingly, the remaining skeletons were cheering for the silver-haired man, their former enemies. Their bony frames rattled with excitement, and their cheers echoed through the arena.

It dawned on the spectators that this monthly battle was not just for entertainment, but for the skeletons as well. The humans who participated were always defeated in the first round, leaving the skeletons with nothing to do but wait for the next month.

But now, with the arrival of the silver-haired man, they had finally found an opponent worth their time. The skeletons realized that they were witnessing a rare spectacle, and they cheered for the man with all their might.

The silver-haired man grinned as he basked in the adulation of his former enemies. It seemed that he had not only won the battle but had also won the hearts of the skeletons.

"After a long time, a second round is finally happening in this arena! It's time for a real show!" The speaker of the match announced, and the rest of the skeletons in the audience erupted in cheers.

But suddenly, a sharp and loud voice cut through the noise.

"Hold on a second! You all get entertainment because we lose, but what if I win? What do I get?" The silver-haired man asked with a hint of curiosity in his voice.

Before the speaker could even answer, another sharp and dominating voice echoed throughout the arena.

"What do you mean? You became a slave the moment you entered this kingdom. You are nothing but a mere slave who has to do anything to please your master," the king of the skeletons said with a disdainful look on his face.

"Mere slave? Who me? That's the funniest joke I have ever heard in my entire life. It's so funny that I can probably laugh to death. You see I can escape whenever I want to."  Listening to what the silver-haired guy just said the king became a little angry.

"You mere slave! You dared to talk back to your master!"

"Master my ass! If you defeat me in a duel my ass is yours!"

"You have crossed all your limits! Do you even think you are worthy enough to look at me? I will show you the power difference between us!" The skeleton king said, and at that moment, the blue flames around his socket started to shine brightly, bright enough to catch everyone's attention within a fraction of a second.
