The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor

Then, there was a cry of agony, and a figure shot out right after that, rolling on the ground. The thirteenth prince clutched its chest as it spasmed on the ground frantically, rolling and writhing as it did.

At that moment, all of the beasts panicked as they rushed to the prince's side.

"My liege, are you alright?!"

"Hurry and help the prince up!"

"Ah! Look! The prince's chest is turning black!"

The cries filled their ears. If the prince was still conscious at that moment, it would be scolding them for spouting so much nonsense. However, the pain filled his mind, and he could not even form the most basic of thoughts. All he could do was roll on the ground.

Fane's hands started to move again, and 100 Soul Swords appeared in front of him. He clapped his hands together, and the Soul Swords fused.

Fane shot a look at Stephen and the others.

Stephen and the others acknowledged it, and the five of them attacked the remaining beasts at the same time.

Suddenly, there were sounds of battle everywhere. In just a few moments, they had handled all of the beasts!

Stephen and the others might not be as strong as Fane, but they were capable of facing the Demon Spirit Beasts that were not too strong. Thanks to Fane's terrifying abilities, he helped the others once he killed three himself, and the battle was immediately over.

Other than the prince, the other beasts were all dead.

Fane knelt next to the prince and looked at its condition.

He raised an eyebrow and said, "Not bad. His defenses are stronger than normal humans. If a human had been dealt this blow, half their soul would be gone, but he only lost a third."

Stephen and Trey felt a chill when they heard that. Fane had killed the prince with one blow. The opponent did not even have the chance to fight back, yet Fane still praised its defenses. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

They felt thankful that they were on the same side as Fane. If those beasts were not around, they would probably be the ones who were dead. With Fane's skills, dealing with them was no problem at all.

Fane took a deep breath as he slowly stood up. "Let's bring him back. I want to interrogate him."

They dealt with the other corpses before they brought the struggling prince away.

It took some time before the other beasts realized that something was wrong.

After another 10 minutes, Karsh and the other beasts gathered at their spot. Karsh came to observe the traces of battle himself. When he felt the lightning around him, Karsh stiffened.

He turned around and shouted angrily, "Let me ask again: Did any of you see the thirteenth prince?!"

All of the beasts shook their heads.

Frantic footsteps were heard. Besant rushed over to Karsh's side and whispered, "I looked around and couldn't find the prince and his men. It seems like they disappeared…"

Besant felt incredibly anxious when it said that. There were traces of an intense battle here, and they noticed remnants of electricity. The thirteenth prince's constitution was unique, and it had a close relationship with the lightning lament. Its natural-born technique was the blade of lightning.
