In this case, Duke Osias.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So thinking like that, he conserved his energy, didn’t talk or even make any attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ulrich played it out as if he was barely struggling to survive their assaults, which gave the idiots more motivation and pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winston in particular, was so happy at the thought that he was better than Ulrich, so much so that he started laughing cynically, sending attacks haphazardly, wasting his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Winston attacked Duke Osias in the same manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he found that the duke wasn’t as ’obedient’ as Ulrich, he grew angrier and felt that the duke was looking down on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just remembering their earlier conversation made his blood boil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why were these old geezers fighting them for the throne?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this bastard weren’t here, then he would’ve been the victor right after killing Ulrich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He borrowed his brows in anger and glared his fangs at the duke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the duke also had some scores to settle with Winston, who cursed him to die earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both looked at one another and subconsciously focused on themselves, giving little attention to Ulrich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, both Winston and Duke Osias had very similar attitudes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hated ’disobedient’ people who didn’t suffer any blows from their attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if these people were saying that they were nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So thinking like that, both were afraid that while dealing with Ulrich, the other might sneak attack them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why their eyes always fell on each other from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One might think that they were foolish and judge them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when in battle, one’s mind would operate as it liked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some decisions might be wrong, while others end upright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if everyone were right, then there would be no loser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even back on earth, several ancient rulers lost battles and even their memories due to some dumb decisions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those in the future could question what the hell these people were thinking of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was because they were fortunate to be born in a time that bettered their understanding of things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More still, they were just bystanders and weren’t actually within the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because if they were, they would know that it was a different feeling altogether.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what sessions these people made, it was their instincts, personalities and willingness to win that led them there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Winston and Osias, feeling not much threat from Ulrich, turned most of their attention to themselves instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ting Ting Ting Ting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their swords clashed against one another fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greenish veins filled Winston’s hands as he started growing tired from it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a logical point of view, it was best that he utilized this time that he was still in a good strength range to deal with Osias.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because even if he wanted energy and took out Ulrich who was a small fry, then how would he later deal with this troublesome uncle of his that seemed full of vigour?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was best to take out Osias now and use the rest of his energy to focus on Ulrich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking like this, Winston squinted his eyes while waiting for an opportunity to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as if the heavens heard his thoughts, the small fry Ulrich attempted to strike Osias for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winston smiled cruelly and stroke Osias the moment he blocked the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ptchu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Osias glared at the loathsome Winston in rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only noticed the attack when it was also too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at that point, there was nothing he could do because he was also fending off Ulrich’s attack as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did they plan it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>F***!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had planted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attack pierced his heart, leaving a spine-tingling amount of pain that caused him to grit his teeth, trying to bear it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would’ve known that a few hours after he was mourning Julius’ death, he would follow later on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least his brother, Julius, was fortunate that he would be adequately buried and would go way ahead of them in the line of souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt like he would soon join Bulkington in the 100,000-year march on the line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was so close to the finish line, so why did he have to lose now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, a deep sense of hatred filled his heart when he glanced at the duo before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted them to follow him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking like that, he used the last ounce of strength in his body and went berserk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhhhhhh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want you both to die!!! Especially you, Nephew!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Osias swung his sword mightily towards Winston, who was the main culprit that caused his death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t mind if Ulrich survived, but Winston had to join him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Osias sent a day attack towards Winston as if he were about to hit a tennis ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winston blocked the attack and instantly pushed back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Osias attacked again twice until his body suddenly stopped functioning and collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He trembled on the ground like a fish out of water with unwillingness as he looked at Winston.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in a few seconds, he was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But did Winston have time to celebrate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His focus was all on Ulrich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One down, one more to go.\u003C\u002Fp>",1134,"2026-06-03T07:55:33.101Z","2026-06-03T07:55:40.090Z",1,"novelbin.me","32d4d480249161bc68bd86f5d64da39fdf8ae7d6f40b69ac15c3fc03f4a0e248","i-m-the-king-of-technology-chapter-886","i-m-the-king-of-technology-chapter-884",1977,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-king-of-technology-cover.jpg"]
