Chapter 119 The Monster's Strength

"AHHH!" The girls beside Nakal and the other people around the street scream in panic.

Fortunately, Reg didn't use any spiritual energy, or those might have injured all the ordinary people and the girls. The attack only created a strong shockwave, which was all wind.

The wind flung the ordinary people away, but the cultivators on the street caught them in time.

Nakal, on the other hand, was getting dragged away by the force of the spear. He was holding the spear from just below its spearhead with his spiritual energy. He became frustrated at not being able to stop the spear. So, spiritual energy spilled out of him and blasted away the spear force.

Crack

Crushing the spear with his bare hand, he looked around to see who was the culprit of this incident. But he didn't find anyone; he only got to meet hundreds of eyes that were filled with horror and nervousness.

Nakal stood alone in the street and pondered with a heavy, darkened face. 'Shit! This will turn bad.'

"It is a demon cultivator! Run!"

No one knew who said it but that acted like a go signal for everyone to run from this place.

"Call the patriarchs!"

"No, first call Vik."

"Tsk, Kal will get mad now," Nakal said with annoyance. Then he looked in the Crimson Moon Palace's direction. "I guess, I have to forcefully take her and leave quickly with the other goods."

Nakal just took one step in that direction when suddenly he heard a bone-chilling voice that was filled with a calm yet raging anger. "I finally found you, bastard."

Nakal turned around and saw a man with short black hair in armor glaring at him.

Nakal was able to identify his cultivation realm instantly. "Ehh, a guy who has not even reached the Nascent Soul Realm is thinking of…killing me?"

The man, whom we all know as Vik, looked at Nakal with a stern face. "Do you think I can't? You know you have been making a huge mess around the town for the past few days, and it has made me so mad that I decided to always be on the lookout for anything suspicious. I didn't expect I would be this lucky."

"Who are you speaking of? I just came to this town today." Nakal felt something weird in Vik's words.

"It doesn't matter; you just have to die," Vik said as he took a single step forward.

Nakal said with a mocking tone. "You really thin-"

Nakal didn't finish his sentence; he felt a sharp tingling on his neck. He looked carefully and saw Vik to his right making a horizontal slash at his neck. 'This guy is fast.'

Ting

Nakal easily blocked that sword attack by using his own. He said this to Vik with a smirk. "You are good."

"You talk too much," Vik replied with a chilling voice as his sword slithered away and came back, slashing at Nakal's stomach.

Nakal's eyes widened in shock, as he didn't even see when his sword came down to his stomach; for him, it looked like he teleported, but he knew it wasn't.

Bang

Nakal's body shot back and smashed into the buildings, but no blood came out as he used his spiritual energy to defend himself. He got up from the rubble and looked at Vik, who was standing quietly. 'What is that swordplay!? That is something only grandmaster-level swordmasters could do. He can't be at that level, he has such a low cultivation realm. He can't ever be one!'

…

Earlier, Reg was watching silently at Nakal, who just broke his spear.

He wanted to leave, but when he saw Nakal still had the heart to take Fiona away, Reg decided to really go and fight Nakal, knowing he might lose.

But all of that anger and worry were for nothing as Vik came in. Still, Reg didn't leave and went to watch the fight, just to know the monster labeled by the system.

And, the system was correct again. Vik already won against Nakal with pure sword skill and against someone who was in a higher cultivation realm than him.

Reg smacked his lips and wondered. 'Is this guy's combat strength at the Mid Stage Nascent Soul Realm!? If it is, then this guy is truly a monster!'

Reg felt fortunate that he wasn't on the bad side of Vik while also feeling regretful that someone like him wasn't able to achieve great heights just because of jealousy and the fear of not being in power.

'Always be worry of your surroundings.' Reg felt this statement of his had made him come this far without any failures.

Then Reg looked at the situation and felt he should take Fiona away in the meantime.

…

As soon as Reg left, the atmosphere between Vik and Nakal turned solemn.

From both of them, spiritual energy spilled out and caused tremors in the ground.

Nakal coated himself and his sword with his red spiritual energy. His might look the same as the Burnhearts, but it was completely opposite. Nakal's spiritual energy had a sinister aura to it as if evil spirits were buried in it.

On the other hand, Vik's was silver and had a calm yet sharp aura that was deadly.

Nakal looked at Vik with anger. "I will make you pay!"

Nakal vanished and appeared before Vik, swinging his sword that was filled with his spiritual energy. Vik did the same, clashing against him head on.

BANG

Vik's feet dug deep into the ground, but he still remained straight and strong.

Vik and Nakal weren't finished with that. They flew around everywhere and exchanged their swords, which caused destruction all over the town.

Fortunately, Vik had informed the guards to evacuate the citizens before he arrived near Nakal.

By now, the news of Vik and Nakal's clash has reached everyone's ears.

…

Burnheart Family.

Kal, who just sat on his bed and was about to wait for a girl to come to serve him, had his expression change. Kal's always-smiling face vanished and got darker. "I will kill that guy, but before that, let me kill this troublemaker first."

Just as Kal vanished, everyone in the Burnheart got alarmed, knowing what might occur now.
