Chapter 413: Dominating Without Struggle (2-Last)
Silence and peace. Only these two words were able to describe what the current situation around Khal was.
Currently, he was lying on the ground with his palms below his head as if they were pillows while his left leg was bent with his knee pointing toward the sky and his right leg resting over it gently as his right feet moved up and down at the melody he was humming with closed eyes.
Time ticked in complete silence and even before he could have realized it, he was teleported into a completely new and unique domain.
"Because others have yet to finish their first round you will have to wait. In the meantime, you are prohibited from moving, cultivating, or using any type of skill or ability! If you do, you will be eliminated right away!"
The words that he was told at the start of the second round resounded in Khal’s ear once again, forcing a helpless sigh to escape his mouth.
’Well, at least I can relax for a little while longer in the meantime.’ Khal thought in his heart as he shifted his eyes left and right to see what kind of place he was teleported this time.
"Hmm... Unfortunately, I can’t see that much." Khal mumbled as he saw that almost 90% of his surroundings were a huge ocean while the remaining 10% were small but tall rock pillars that came out of the azure blue water from below here and there.
"Whatever. I will just use that right away when my opponent arrives." Khal mumbled and closed his eyes to take a small nap as he knew that it will take even longer for his enemy to appear.
And just as he guessed, instead of 30 minutes like previously this time he had to wait almost twice as much as that!
This time, however, his enemy was from a race that he recognized way too easily; it was a Berserker.
"Huh? A human? How were you able to come all this way without dying?" the Berserker asked with slight confusion before sneering and grabbing his weapon’s hilt with both hands which was a huge hammer, "Who cares. At least I can claim victory effortless this time!"
Upon hearing the words of the Berserker Khal rolled his eyes and waved his Devil Fangs in his hand as he said with a sigh, "If you say so..."
"Whe-?" the Berserker narrowed his eyes when he saw Khal’s gesture and was ready to ask something when suddenly the air around him vibrated and out of thin air hundreds of wind blades appeared, each slicing into him before exploding and bursting his body into thousands of bloody pieces of flesh and bones!
Whoosh!
And just like that, Khal was teleported back into the white space where he lay down onto the ground into the same position which he was in previously and began to hum the same melody he hummed last time!
"He... He is not human..." Elder Lane mumbled with widened eyes, even massaging his eyes for a few seconds to make sure he was not hallucinating.
"Just how did he do that? I didn’t even see him using the skill! Those wind blades just appeared out of thin air!" Elder Shiu nodded, hardly accepting the fact that a boy who has yet to reach his 20th birthday was this strong!
If so far one thought that Khal was just lucky for surviving his first-round thanks for his opponent being pathetically weak against heat while being also lucky for killing his second opponent because she lowered her guard, this time no one could say he was lucky as the Berserker was clearly on guard despite knowing that his enemy was a human!
After all, just a fool would underestimate their enemy in the third round even if it was a human! Anyone that had the strength to kill two Ascender beings in a row and get to the third round was strong without a question!
And it was not only Elder Shiu who thought like this, but every expert around the Second Realm, let it be beings on or below the Fifth Cultivation Stage!
"Just who is he? Is he really a human? He looks so young!"
"What kind of Martial Technique did he use? I was unable to track it down!"
"No, the question here is not what kind of Martial Technique did he use but what is that weapon in his hand? I have never seen such a weapon before which was capable of shifting shape between a fan and a dagger!"
Beings all around the Second Realm that saw the fight between Khal and the Berserker talked betwixt each other as they stared at Khal’s figure with either stupefied or puzzled expressions, each of them trying to figure out how he was able to do one-shot-one-kill his enemy despite him being only a human!
No, let it be human or someone else from another race, they didn’t understand how he was able to possess such strength where he literally crushed his enemy who was at the Ascender Stage with a single strike as if he was nothing but an ant!
"Go and find out who he is! I want to know everything about him!"
Kings, Dukes, Queens, and other strong beings from various races and royal households that witnessed what Khal was capable of doing ordered their men to gather information about him as fast as they could!
And just like this, just as Khal wanted it before joining the Realm Tournament, his name and face were quickly spread far and wide all around the Second Realm and it was not long before almost everyone recognized him at least by his face!
As for Khal himself, he proceeded on killing every creature he was given as an opponent, easily beating each of them as if they were just mere ants before his presence!
And just like, he got all the way to Round Eleven, where his enemy this time was a Space Cracker, a creature whose Blessing allowed his race to literally crack space with their physical strength alone and use it as a killer move to finish their enemies off in an instant!
’Should I let him attack me this time?’ Khal wondered as he watched the creature that looked like a humanoid black lizard in front of him with a nonchalant complexion.
[Why so?]
’I don’t know. I just feel that there is just no fun if I kill all my opponents with a single strike.’
[...]
Nova remained silent as she didn’t know how she should respond, but if she would have the chance she would definitely strangle Khal to death as his statement sounded just way too arrogant even though it was the truth!
