Chapter 389: I’m the Crazy One In This Kingdom (2)
What should one do when meeting someone who introduces himself as a madman? Normally, the best option was to avoid them. But if one couldn’t run, there was only one thing anyone could do: strike first.Keter was leaning against the wall, standing casually on one leg. Meanwhile, Marquis Mejai had taken the optimal stance to thrust his sword. The speed advantage created by this difference was beyond imagination.
From the very first move, Marquis Mejai aimed for Keter’s neck. He didn’t even consider subduing him because he could already tell how strong Keter was. But his judgment was wrong.
Clang!
“...?”
Marquis Mejai doubted his own eyes. His sword carried an Aura Laser, an ability of a six-star Grandmaster that could slice even orichalcum, which was said to be the hardest substance in the world. Yet it couldn’t cut Keter’s neck. The sensation transmitted through the sword into his hand was something he had never felt in his life.
“How can this be...”
The veins in Marquis Mejai’s arm bulged. The aura around his blade intensified further, but Keter simply stared at him, as if waiting for him to continue.
Crack!
Marquis Mejai’s augmented aura shattered. The impact traveled back into the blade, causing it to break apart into fragments that fell to the ground. He alternated his gaze between the broken pieces and Keter, then took a step back. Keter wasn’t just a madman; he was an overwhelmingly powerful one.
Keter had fought countless life-or-death battles against Transcendentals and even survived battles against gods. On top of that, Survival of the Fittest, the cultivation technique he practiced, made him stronger the more he survived.
Now, simply existing granted him an invincible body that could ignore augmented aura. Unless it was divine power wielded by Transcendentals or something of the same nature, no one could even scratch Keter’s skin.
