Arthur kept assaulting the two armies relentlessly while his scorpion girl kept ignoring everything and focused on hunting down the fallen energy of his.
This made the losses on her side mainly due to her stamping over many warriors along her way.
As for the other side, Arthur focused mainly there as the array had annoying self regeneration ability.
It took hours for him to finally crack this array. The other one cracked a long time ago and the scorpion just took as much as she could from his fire while the rest fell on everyone, killing them.
The moment the array broke, Arthur started to have his way easily in killing his enemies. This wasn't a surprise as the only barrier sheltering those weak warriors was gone.
"That berserker," Finally when he killed everyone, he stood in front of the small pillar that they used to summon the berserker. "He said he would be here soon, yet after all these hours he didn't show up," he expressed his complaints aloud.
"I finished in the first half hour," the sound of the berserker suddenly came in while he descended slowly from the high clouds, "yet I decided to wait, watch what you are doing and make sure you are true to your words."
Arthur was surprised by his sudden appearance and words, yet he collected himself fast. "And?" he asked.
"You are really an admirable kid," the berserker laughed, "killing two big clans and making a medium sized clan bow their heads to yours is an impressive feat. Your city isn't a place for prosperity yet for war. Armies sat off all the time, and you aren't content with what you achieved so far, trying to harass more clans and cause more wars," the berserker said all those facts with a grin over his face.
"And?" Arthur wasn't surprised at all from all these words. This was his doings, his style and way of life here.
He only cared about what decision this mighty man will make.
"I acknowledge your way of life, it suits me the best. Yet, I need to test out something," the berserker said before suddenly vanishing from Arthur's sight.
'Ding! He is coming from your back, evade!' the system hurriedly said and Arthur didn't have time to even think as he only flapped his wings and instantly vanished from his place.
"Good reflex and intuition," the berserker knew nothing about Arthur's system, so he wrongly thought this was all his doing.
"What are you trying to do?" Arthur noticed that the place he was at previously was cut with a simple sword wave of that berserker.
"Tsk, what? Don't you love to fight like me?" the berserker said.
"Sure, but should we fight to death?"
"Hahah, you are a funny kid," the berserker laughed before seriously adding, "I tested the truth of your words, and they are valid. Now I need to test your potential."
"My potential… why?"
"You are the type I admire and look for to work with, but…" the berserker paused as he turned around, waving his swords as he added, "this world and others around it are only low planes for me. There is no fun in killing ants."
Arthur got the meaning behind his words. "So you want to see if I have the ability to rise up to your higher realms?"
"Correct indeed," the berserker said before adding, "if you don't have the potential to rise higher, you won't be of any use to me."
"Correct indeed," Arthur mimicked his own way of wording before adding, "so we need to spar?"
"Sure, but as I already know how weak you are, I won't stress much over you," the berserker said before adding, "you need to directly take one attack from me, before landing another one over me without defending. This way I'll be able to test your strength and have a glimpse over your potential future growth."
Arthur waited for a couple of minutes thinking deeply about this offer, and the berserker just stood his place without adding another word.
"I suggest you accept," the golden dragon suddenly said.
'Ding! This is risky,' the system stood opposite to the golden dragon's stance.
"I and you know perfectly well how far this kid can go. Gaining the trust and future support of berserker is something amazing. You shouldn't let this rare chance slip, agree."
Arthur waited silently before finally saying: "Will you use your full power?"
"Not all, but I'll use a higher form of energy than you know here in lower realms," the berserker replied before amusingly asking, "what? Don't tell me the next warlord is afraid?"
"I'm not," Arthur finally made his mind. This berserker was strong, impulsive, yet not that dumb at all. He also didn't mean ill to him, and he trusted his abilities with no end. "Come, let's do this."
"Hahaha, that's the way I like it," the next moment the berserker vanished to reappear before Arthur as he shouted, "be ready kid, here I come."
The moment his sword moved, Arthur felt a sudden and mighty gust of wind coming from the sword. "This is only caused by his simple wave?!" Arthur glanced at the rapidly approaching sword and didn't move.
"He is holding back," he already saw how this man used his sword to cleave the air and vanish. This strength he used was far lower than the one he showed before.
"Rumble!"
The moment the sword hit his body, he felt like he was tossed by a mighty hand to fly, yet before his body was thrown away he flapped his wings fast, counteracting this force.
This made his body under immense pressure, yet the next thing happened didn't only startle the berserker, it startled him.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The place hit by the sword had all the scales under it be stimulated and be launched away. This didn't only happen to these scales, but to a large number around them.
The sword was pushed slightly away from his body releasing the mighty pressure he was facing.
