Reincarnated Golden Emperor

Noticing the Sword Qi, he immediately abandoned the thoughts of slashing Alvaneth and used his Nightfall Sword to deflect the Sword Qi.

Right when he finally looked ahead, he couldn't hide the shock on his face as Alvaneth had suddenly come closer to him and slashed him.

The Slash went within his stomach from the right side. Before he could go any deeper, Saito used his other hand to grab hold of the sword and prevented him from slicing off his body into two.

Blood started gushing out of his wounds while the Sword within Saito's flesh glowed with a purple light and multiple Sword Qi were released within Saito's body. These Sword Qi started to tear his body internally.

It was fortunate that his inner organs were a lot stronger after acquiring the Golden Dragon's Bloodline. If it was before, his inner organs would have probably been sliced off into pieces. But right now, even though he was injured heavily, it could still be healed.

Hatefully gritting his teeth, Saito murmured, "I don't understand why you seem to be so intent to be my enemy."

"But, enough now… Hurricane!" His calm voice was terrifying. However, Alvaneth didn't seem to care at this point. He just wanted to defeat Saito.

Even though Hurricane was terrifying since every single one of the streams of winds were really sharp but they didn't hurt Alvaneth at all. He stood there completely motionless; it didn't even seem like he was doing anything.

However, if someone looked closely, they would notice a strong purple colored Sword Qi moving around Alvaneth's body with quick speed, deflecting all the wind blades that came close to his body.

"Was this your plan? To sure this skill to injure me while I can't move? I am sure you didn't expect the Sword Qi to be used in such a manner. After all, you aren't a real swordsman." Said Alvaneth with a smug look.

This was indeed something that Saito didn't expect but he didn't lose his composure and spoke, "Indeed… But that's not all."

A strong amount of fire was released from Saito's body. It was the terrifying Hell Flames. If it was a small quantity of the Hell Flames, perhaps the Hurricane would have extinguished it but the amount of Hell Flames released by Saito were enough to ignite the wind on fire.

The hurricane around the two of them transformed into a Black Fire Hurricane. The sharpness of the Wind Blades was lost however, a strong temperature was created in that area which was the center of the hurricane.

Even though the Purple Sword Qi was doing it's best to be moving around. It still couldn't prevent Alvaneth to be injured by the Hell Flames.

"Now to return the favor. My friend, are you ready?" Saito said with a taunting look which didn't go along in the situation he was right now.

"Golden Dragon's Strength!" Saito was instantly surrounded by the Golden Light. The sword he was holding in his hands started cracking as he applied more force.

While Saito used his other hand in which he held Nightfall Sword to return the favor. Since Alvaneth was busy in keeping the Hell Flames away from his body by utilizing his Sword Qi. He couldn't move at the moment.

If he moved, he would be throwing himself into the huge sea of Hell Flames. While if he didn't, he would have to confront Saito's Nightfall Sword. This was what Saito thought. Saito was prepared for either of the options Alvaneth chose.

Alvaneth showed a fearless grin as he stared at Saito. It seemed as though he wasn't planned on jumping back but has decided to confront Saito.

The Nightfall Sword penetrated the skin on his stomach and went deeper before Saito stopped. He murmured in a low tone, "And now… to return the favor. Million Bolts of Lightning!"

A Million Bolts of Heaven's Lightning were released from the Nightfall Sword which went around his whole body and burnt his inner organs.

Alvaneth was shocked when he experienced the burns from Saito's Lightning. He exclaimed with a serious look, "Heaven's Lightning! This is out of my expectations. I never imagined you to grab hold of such a strong Lightning."

The reason Alvaneth was so shocked was because he had seen Saito's dark Lightning. It contained a horrifying amount of Demonic Power but if compared to the polar opposite, Heaven's Lightning. It wasn't worth mentioning.

To transform his Dark Lightning into Heaven's Lightning. He never considered that Saito was capable of even transforming the nature of his elements. It was rare but people had achieved it. All of them were the peerless talents and experts during the Ancient Time.

But to find someone in this age. This was truly unexpected. Alvaneth decided to change his own plan and released his hold over the sword.

Narrowing his pupils, Saito felt like he needed to kill him now or else Alvaneth would escape. Saito put more strength within his sword and wanted to slice off Alvaneth into two however, he was utterly shocked when the sword passed through Alvaneth's body as if it was thin air.

Alvaneth's body started glowing with dark light and Saito knew what it was. It was the Shadow Magic. It was similar to Joergen's Shadow Blend Skill. But it seemed a lot more useful.

To be able to become a shadow while he was stabbed. It spoke volumes about his skill. Saito coughed out some blood from his mouth.

Saito looked around and couldn't find Alvaneth even with his Spiritual Sense. He immediately spoke in his mind 'Iris… Give me the exact location of this guy.'

[Roger.]

[He is 10 meters in front of master.]

'Got it!' Saito spoke in his mind and two huge balls of Red Lightning were formed within his hands.

He threw them towards the location where Iris pointed him at while shouting, "ENJOY BITCH!"

Even Alvaneth's eyes widened when he noticed those two Red Lightning Balls coming towards him. He hatefully gritted his teeth and appeared on the ground.

With an angry look, he said, "This isn't over! I will kill you next time!" His body suddenly started to shine brightly before he disappeared.

Saito frowned a bit and asked Iris in his head 'Is he still here?'

[No master. His presence has completely disappeared.]

He was a little relieved after hearing that and fell on the ground. The Hurricane slowly dispersed away.

The Hell Flames burnt bright in his hands before he applied them on his wounded area. His flames started to burn his wounds at a rapid speed.

He let out a scream of pain, "Ahh… This pain… haah… I will also remember you… Next time, you won't be able to run away even with a teleportation symbol."

Saito had a bitter look on his face as he stared at the wound which was closing after being seared with the Hell Flames, "To think I have been reduced to such a state just because I underestimated him a little in the beginning."

"Did I grow conceited after killing Naomi? And that was just a pitiful clone. To think I would be arrogant from such a simple task." His wound was seared closed now. No blood was leaking from his wounds.

It seemed like a scar now that the wound had been seared.

Saito had a serious look on his face as he stared at the scar and started thinking 'Let this scar be a lesson for me in the future. This is the price of underestimating an enemy! Even though I knew that nobody should underestimate an enemy… But to experience it personally was completely different.'

He looked around and sighed at the great damage done due to his Hurricane. He didn't want to leave this land like this without any trees.

He instantly created trees which covered this part of the forest and covered it without the thick and long trees.

After resting for a period of time, Saito started flying towards the Elf Kingdom. His task was already over. By his calculations, the amount of time needed for the Second prince and the third princess was achieved. He no longer needed to slow down the Sea Dragon Clan.

What Saito didn't know that the direction in which Alvaneth escaped was the very same direction in which Sea Dragons were moving and the location where the Crown Prince of the Vermillion Kingdom was.

It was like he was pulled out from a sea of fire but thrown into a cliff. Just one misfortune after another.

~~

Around this time, his 8 strongest men from Alvaneth's kingdom had been annihilated after Bakaul and Azaroth joined hands.

After annihilating these 8 men above the Great Demon King's level, they were all rather tired. They were no longer in mood of the war. In fact, the reason for the war was Naomi.

She was the one who incited the two of them to start a war. But their rest was short-lived because they heard a loud roar, "AZAROTH!"
