Chapter 135: As Expected of That Person

Maike watched as that strong Two-legged Sheep launched an attack at him very quickly, and a cold sneer appeared in his heart.

He saw the staff in his right hand shoot out several green Runes, but Yingzhou dodged them with a strange posture; Maike even doubted if his eyes had played tricks on him—how did this Two-legged Sheep dodge his attack?

By now, Yingzhou had arrived in front of Maike, and the Chainsword in his hand swung down accompanied by a humming sound. Maike had no choice but to use the pendant around his neck, leaving an afterimage in place while his true body quickly moved away from Yingzhou.

But Yingzhou relied on his senses to continue slashing with the Chainsword toward the still-invisible Maike.

"You Two-legged Sheep! How did you find me! Even Mailun, who is also a Priest, might not be able to see where I am; how did you do it?"

Maike spoke in surprise. Seeing that Yingzhou ignored him, he realized he had been a bit anxious just now and had forgotten for a moment that these Two-legged Sheep could not understand his speech—what a despicable race.

"Forget it, after I kill you, I will extract your soul and examine it myself."

Maike laughed loudly, and the tip of the staff in his hand began to shine with mysterious Runes.

Each Rune seemed to hide the wailing sound of a human soul, which was hair-raising. These Runes crawled rapidly onto his body like poisonous snakes, as if endowing him with infinite power. As the Runes spread, Maike's originally withered body actually began to gradually become strong, and his stature also grew much taller.

Yingzhou looked at everything happening before him. He couldn't help but complain: "What the hell is this guy? Wasn't it said he was a mage? How did he suddenly become a Battle Mage?"

However, the movements of Yingzhou's hands did not slow down in the slightest. He brandished the Chainsword in his hand and slashed fiercely at Maike again. This time, the Rune Power flickering on the staff in Maike's hand was dazzling, and the top of the staff became exceptionally sharp, like a keen war spear. When it collided with Yingzhou's Chainsword, the Rune Power flickered continuously, bursting with intense light, successfully blocking Yingzhou's fierce attack.

"Hahahaha! You low-class Two-legged Sheep, so what if you are taller than me? My staff is now wrapped in powerful Rune Power, and its sharpness is in no way inferior to a war spear. Just obediently accept your death!" Maike laughed triumphantly.

At this moment, the Runes on Maike's body were flickering, making it feel that its whole body was full of power. After it blocked Yingzhou's attack, it once again channeled the Rune Power in the staff, and a layer of golden Runes attached to the sharp top of the staff.

Yingzhou did not know why this Beast Race Priest had to jabber on a bunch of words he couldn't understand every little while, and it was saying them with such excitement.

Seeing that the Chainsword was ineffective against this Beast Race Priest, Yingzhou moved the Chainsword to his left hand and tried to use his right hand to Gather Spiritual Power, replicating the Greatsword he had condensed before.

"What exactly is missing? I always feel like I'm just a little bit away from being able to condense it!"

Maike saw that this Two-legged Sheep was suddenly condensing an energy fluctuation in its right hand. Although it didn't know what kind of trick this Two-legged Sheep was up to, it didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

Maike saw the staff in its hand—or more accurately, what should now be called a war spear—thrust toward Yingzhou.

Yingzhou used the Chainsword in his left hand to parry, while his right hand kept trying to Gather Spiritual Power, making the Spiritual Power inside his body flow rapidly.

Maike's war spear suddenly erupted with a golden light. Yingzhou's left arm was struck by the golden light, and a bone-piercing pain stimulated Yingzhou's brain. This was the first time Yingzhou had been injured in such a long time; the golden Runes attached themselves to his left arm and entered his body through his wound.

Yingzhou felt that there was a strange power inside his body that was absorbing his physical strength, which made Yingzhou feel a bit anxious, and the Spiritual Power condensed in his right hand became somewhat chaotic.

What is going on? I was clearly condensing Spiritual Power according to that feeling from before, so why do I always feel like I'm missing something? Where exactly is the difference?

Yingzhou's heart was a bit impatient, and looking at this arrogant Orc before him, a fire of anger gradually ignited in his heart.

Suddenly, Yingzhou realized what he was missing. He was currently only thinking about how to condense that flaming Greatsword, but his original purpose was to help the Human Alliance soldiers here, to help them eliminate the Orcs here, and to save the suffering civilians here. He was completely putting the cart before the horse; he was too anxious.

Thinking of this, while Yingzhou used the Chainsword in his left hand to block Maike's war spear thrust, he relaxed his mind and no longer obsessed over condensing that Greatsword. The Spiritual Power in his body began to circulate rapidly, faster and faster.

Immediately after, Yingzhou felt a scorching sensation coming from his right hand, and then, he condensed Spiritual Power according to the previous method.

Yingzhou was pleasantly surprised to find that a Greatsword burning with a wisp of flame had appeared in his right hand. Although it was not as dazzling as the previous one, Yingzhou's heart was incomparably happy at this moment.

With a wave of his right hand, the Greatsword burning with a wisp of flame slashed directly at the spearhead of Maike's weapon. The golden Runes on the spearhead flickered with a dazzling light. One second later, the golden Runes were burned to nothingness as if by a crushing force, and the spearhead was also severed.

"What kind of weapon is this! Impossible! My staff has two layers of Rune Power for protection; even if you wanted to destroy it, you would have to consume a massive amount of Spiritual Power. How could you break it so easily!"

Seeing his staff severed by the Greatsword that had suddenly appeared in Yingzhou's right hand, Maike roared in disbelief.

"Alien Race! Must be executed!"

Yingzhou didn't care what Maike said. The Greatsword in his right hand carried a scorching aura as it slashed toward Maike. Maike's pupils contracted. It squeezed the pendant on its neck with force, and a powerful Rune fluctuation was emitted. Afterward, Yingzhou watched as a space Rift appeared behind Maike, and Maike scrambled into that space Rift regardless of its image.

Seeing this, Yingzhou's right-handed Greatsword slashed directly onto Maike's thigh. With a shrill, miserable howl, Maike's thigh fell to the ground, steaming—both legs, in fact.

After losing its balance, Maike plunged directly into that space and disappeared.

Yingzhou watched the opponent flee in a panic, thinking that since the opponent's thigh had been burned, the other half of its body would probably be burned to nothingness very soon.

Thinking of this, Yingzhou stopped paying attention to the vanished Beast Race Priest and retracted the Greatsword in his right hand. The Rune Power that had just entered his body also disappeared, though Yingzhou felt that his internal Spiritual Power had been consumed quite a bit; he was afraid he wouldn't be able to summon many soldiers.

"Damn, this consumes way too much Spiritual Power. That person is truly worthy of being the Human Lord; this is not power that an ordinary person can possess. Moreover, just a Greatsword burning with a wisp of flame has such power; no wonder those two Beast Race Priests from before didn't even leave behind ashes."

Yingzhou wiped the sweat seeping from his forehead and muttered to himself.
