SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

Chapter 71 Imperial Sword vs Fist of Annihilation

CLANG! The giant's right hand moved in front of the body and blocked the aura blade.

The left hand of the stone man is not enough to stop the tornado.

Bang! The tornado destroyed the golden aura that protects the head. The earthen helmet stopped the tornado for a while. Cracks appeared on the head.

Crunch! The head is totally crushed.

Edgar jumped up in a diagonal line and rotates his body in mid-air. His head is facing the giant on the ground as he takes a stabbing stance. He releases more aura, then threads of white aura and fire element quickly rotate on his sword. His sword became three meters.

Boom! Edgar moves down in a diagonal line, then stabbed his sword.

The sword is pointing to the giant's body, where Bartos is located.

The giant raised its left hand, and the huge palm is stabbed. It kicks its right foot that reconnected.

Edgar moves back and avoided the kick.

The giant rolled its huge body to the right.

Bang! The huge body of the giant crushed the aura blade on the ground as it rolls.

The left hand and right foot supported its whole body to stand up. The left foot is reconnecting itself. Threads of golden aura and earth element rotate on the head. The gian't head started forming.

Edgar attacks from the air. He slashed his three-meters sword.

CLANG! The sword is blocked by the giant's left hand.

The giant raised its right hand with rotating threads of golden aura. It did not lose its balance. The left foot is reconnected. The giant punched Edgar with its right fist.

Bang! The fist missed Edgar and hit the ground causing a twenty-meter crater to appear.

Edgar dodged the attack by jumping to his back, then took a slashing stance.

He attacks the giant from the air.

Clang! The left hand blocked the attack.

Edgar is attacked with a hook. He jumped down in a diagonal line.

Woosh! The pressure from the right hook blows dust and debris into the air.

Crunch! Edgar cut the right leg of the giant, but it did not cause the giant to lose balance. The giant let the left foot bear all the weight. It clenched its right fist and then swings it toward Edgar, who is near its right knee.

Brrgh! The pressure from the strong swing created a gully on the ground. Edgar dodged the attack by jumping up, and then he slashes his sword.

Clang! Bang! Bang! The giant and Edgar are exchanging blows in close proximity. Huge craters and huge blade marks are forming around their battlefield. Edgar is nimbly avoiding the giant's attack with his aerial battle skills.

The giant jumps to its back as threads of golden aura rotate on its hands.

Edgar quickly follows the giant.

The giant punched its left fist.

A huge golden fist flies to Edgar.

Edgar jumped with a somersault.

Another golden fist is flying.

WOOSH! Edgar accelerated from the air and appears below the giant.

Bang! The giant's right foot tried to kick Edgar.

He dodged the kick by jumping up, then he slashes his sword.

Clang! Bang! Clang! Their exchange of blows at close proximity resume.

Boom! A boulder smashed into the ground near the soldiers and special forces of Baynard. They are stupefied at the scene they are witnessing. Their faces are full of sweat. They subconsciously swallow their saliva.

"Are they still mortals? Their fight is out of this world. One punch from that giant will destroy our army. One swing from Majesty can also destroy our army. If not for his Majesty, I think we have no chance to win against the Maginev empire," said a soldier. Just imagining the giant wreaking havoc on their army makes the soldiers lower limbs become limp.

The special forces look better, although their faces also have sweat.

In the distance, the soldiers of the Maginev empire also look stupefied. They are not stupefied by the devastation of the fight because they have already witnessed it in the war against the Morowind Empire. They are stupefied that the young King of Baynard could fight so well against their Marshal, who has been in the fourth level for a much longer time.

"How is this possible? Why is his attack power so strong? He only reached that stage recently! That young king is a freak! If there is an opportunity, we must kill that young king even if we sacrifice our lives!" said an adjutant with killing intent as he stares at Edgar.

Bang! The giant had just punched the ground and missed Edgar again. It had been cut many times in four limbs. There are even cuts on the body that are slowly closing. The giant is at a severe disadvantage in close combat against Edgar, who can fight well in the air. Edgar is so nimble.Bartos has not hit him since the close combat began a while ago. Bartos is so irritated. His aura and mana are consuming rapidly. He must find a way to end the fight, a way to take the king's head.

Threads of golden aura rotate on the giant's left hand like a tornado.

Edgar is in the air, ready to respond to the giant's attack as he sees it gathering aura on its hand.

The giant punched its left hand at Edgar.

Edgar jumped down. Bartos smirked.

What attacked Edgar was not a golden fist but a tornado-like attack that suddenly expanded.

Brrgh! The ground is like being bulldozed by the rotation of a golden aura.

"What?!" Edgar is shocked by the sudden change in Bartos' attack.

"Ahhh!" screamed Edgar as he is blown away by the golden tornado. Soil and much debris are blown away together with Edgar. His body is rotating again in the air, out of his control.

Boom! Boom! The giant runs and follows Edgar.

Boom! It jumped high and raised its right hand! Golden aura flow to its right arm. The golden arm became bigger, then it struck Edgar.

The fire element and white aura rotate on Edgar's left hand, then they form a big white sword. He holds the handle and lets it fly away. The flight was so unsteady, but he has no time to fix his posture in the air because a huge attack is coming.

Bang! Another earthquake-like disaster hit the ground. The ground cracked into many large pieces of debris. Large and tiny pieces of soil and rock flew. The shockwave further made Edgar's flight unsteady.

Edgar stopped manipulating the sword in his left hand, then put his upper body and knee closer, then let his whole body rotate in the air as he holds the big swords in both of his hands.

A white sword appears where Edgar is moving. Flop! His feet landed on the sword. Another white sword appears.

Bang! The sword on Edgar's feet clashed with the sword, but it helped decrease the force from the shockwave.

After the force disappeared, Edgar stands on the sword and let go of the sword in his left hand. His face suddenly changed. He felt a huge gathering of aura inside the thick dust. The dust where the giant hit the ground is quite big. It even covers the giant. A blow of wind cleared the dust a little. The shadow of the giant seems to be in a fist stance. He wants to direct his sword to fly away, but he suddenly hears Bartos' voice.

"Your Majesty, if you want to save your soldiers, you must face it head-on. You should be able to sense your soldiers behind you," said Bartos.

Edgar spread his senses behind him, and the soldiers are really not far from them. As long as Bartos targets them, they will certainly be killed here. He thought Bartos would not use this method. Bartos has the air and looks of a warrior with pride. A marshal of an army is really different.

When the giant is finally seen, a golden ball covers its right fist. Threads of golden aura are rotating on the golden ball.

"Your Majesty, I have to pull this trick because there must be a proper conclusion in this fight. We are running out of aura and mana. Let us end this fight with all we have."

The soldiers of Baynard heard what Bartos said. Their faces changed, and then they became full of anger.

"Fuck you, Bartos! How can the rumored strongest in the east of the central continent stoop this low?" said an angry soldier.

"Bartos! You will be forever remembered in history as a shameless shit!"

The soldiers kept making curses, but Bartos ignored them. They were afraid of the strength of Bartos earlier, but they are more afraid to harm their king. Their king is the hope of their kingdom. Everything they have is possible because of his leadership. They are willing to die for him. The soldiers became anxious as Bartos insisted on making them hostages and their king is not moving away.

"Your Majesty, move away. You don't have to protect us. The kingdom needs you. You can't play in Bartos' hands!" a special force shouted.

"Your Majesty, many citizens of the kingdom can replace us, but no one can replace you! Please don't heed the words of Bartos!"

The soldiers and special forces are frantically shouting.

Edgar smiled when he heard them. He directs his sword to the ground. His back faces the soldiers and special forces. His torn cape, with the crest of the king, is swaying.

"Tony, your daughter Ana is graduating soon. You are her only family. No one will accompany her if you don't attend."

A special force soldier's eyes suddenly turned watery, his mouth trembled, he bit his teeth to prevent himself from howling, and tears fell from his eyes.

"Kal, your grandmother is still waiting for you to bring home a wife."

Another special force soldier cries.

"All of you, there is someone waiting for you to come back. It's my responsibility to bring you home."

All the soldiers and special forces cry.

Edgar stares at the giant as if looking at the man inside of it. His eyes are burning with fighting spirit, and a thought is running through his mind.

"Bartos, you made the wrong choice. You shouldn't have used them as hostages. They know the danger of being a soldier. Some of them are the only remaining family of someone waiting for them at home, yet they are here. I seek strength to protect the people I want to protect! They are willing to sacrifice themselves to protect the kingdom, then I am willing to risk my life to protect them! Bartos, you have just strengthened my will! You have just strengthened my way of sword!"

Bang! Edgar releases a lot of aura. One big thread of white aura and one big thread of fire element start revolving around Edgar as the center. The wind generated by their rotation is strong, making the hair and cape of Edgar sway. Even pebbles and small stones float in the air around him. The rotating threads look like the helix loop of DNA. A burning white aura forms beneath Edgar and spreads up to the circumference of King's Field. The huge white swords that Edgar had formed earlier moved. They stand on the air, then they move down. They slowly combine with the white aura field.

The burning white aura forms hundreds of white swords.

Edgar pointed his sword at his back.

The hundreds of white swords move to the sword and form a 10-meter sword. He did not combine them but positioned the swords. He lowered his body.

Boom! The ground cracked as he dashes to Bartos.

Bartos smiled when he saw Edgar dashing forward.

"Your Majesty, you are one of the greatest kings ever to live. You brought prosperity to your declining kingdom. If you live, your people will keep living with joy, but I have an empire to protect, SO PLEASE DIEEEE!!"

KING OF FIST: ANNIHILATION

The giant stone man punched its right fist with a big golden ball.

Oom! A huge golden beam rapidly flew forward.

Edgar is already in the air. He is holding the sword over his head with both hands. The hundreds of white swords move.

TNNG! The swords combined with the sword of Edgar. The sword became ten meters in length and two meters wide. The handle became a lot longer. White aura flows to the sword.

The golden beam is coming.

"Ahhhh" shouts Edgar as he swings the sword.

IMPERIAL SWORD

BANG! The clash of the Imperial Sword and Golden Beam created a strong shockwave and a loud sound of thunder. The pressure from the clash crushed the ground beneath them.

"Ahhhh!" both Bartos and Edgar shout as they try to push each other's attack.

Boom! Boom! The clash keeps making shockwaves, and the crater below their point of contact is getting bigger.

Threads of white aura are still flowing to the sword.

Edgar's hair and cape are swaying as the shockwave and the clash are generating strong blows of wind. He is gritting his teeth, but his eyes are very determined. His strength is getting stronger, and the sword in his hand moves forward further. Behind him are not just the soldiers. There are Elena, the Mother Queen, Marco, the royal family, his ministers, the warm laughter and smiles of innocent children, the people he met on his journey, the joyful faces of citizens of the kingdom, and his family on earth. Edgar's eyes burn with fighting spirit.

"Ahhhh!" shouts Edgar as he gathers more strength. The images of people that he wants to protect and a thought within his mind keep strengthening him right now and his concept.

"You have an empire to protect, but I have people to protect in BOTH WORLDS!!!"
