Chapter 783 - Challenge (1/2)

Thorne was only a 5th Rank Sword Saint and his weapon wasn't particularly good, while Green was in perfect condition and was a 6th Rank Archmage with a True Spirit Magic Staff that could increase the power of his spells.

Green sneered as he glanced at Thorne with disdain.

”A piece of trash like you actually dares to make a move against me? How could an insignificant 5th Rank Sword Saint actually hold the title of Commander of the Merlin Family. Did your Merlin Family run out of people end up having to send trash like you? Even if you are relatively powerful trash, you are still trash!

”What are you looking at? You aren't convinced? Hurry up and f.u.c.k off, I'm ordering you to immediately guard the Horn of Fertility. Let your Merlin Family know that they should send another trash Commander.”

Green Watson was loudly shouting, his arrogance visible on his face as he completely didn't care that this place was the Merlin Family's Flame Demon Fort. He coldly looked around at all the spectators.

'These stupid Merlins, daring to resist me! Hmpf, just you wait. You'll all die when the general attack on the Raging Flame Plane is finished. Not only Thorne Merlin, but even that Mafa Merlin. Anyone that is a Merlin will die!'

At this time, Zeuss and Lin Yun came out of the large tent. Zeuss had an embarrassed expression. He would have tried to stop the fight from breaking out if he'd been there when it started.

Lin Yun had a cold expression and didn't even pay attention to Green Watson. He turned to look at Thorne.

”Sir Thorne, how could you not have made a single bit of progress in the past few months? How could you serve as the Merlin Family's Commander when you are so weak? At least when fighting, you absolutely can't cower and give in. Who made you stop? Keep fighting!”

Lin Yun had a cold expression and his voice was icy like the winds of the north. On the side, Zeuss had opened his mouth, but ended up closing it with a bitter smile.

As for Green Watson, he burst out in a loud fit of laughter.

”Merlins only know how to talk big? How could a piece of trash like Thorne be my match? A 5th Rank Sword Saint thinks he can go against me? He's only still alive right now because I was being lenient. You are a group of idiots with no sense of propriety, are you trying to throw away your lives? Come, it doesn't matter if you come at me together, I'll wait.”

Green Watson rolled his eyes as he stood on the spot, motionless. 'Ha, that Mafa Merlin is also an idiot, this is perfect! I'm not the one starting this fight, so if these Merlins can't take it, they'll be throwing away their lives! Yes, it would be for the best if I accidentally killed Thorne and Mafa together, it would be perfect, wouldn't it?'

Thorne stood up and wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth and bitterly smiled but didn't answer Lin Yun.

'I'm no match for him... Although that Green Watson is arrogant, he is very powerful and came from the Ancestral Land of the Watson Family. He received the best teaching possible and is already at the 6th Rank of the Archmage realm at such a young age, and he also wields a True Spirit Magic Tool.

'A 5th Rank Sword Saint can't compare to a 6th Rank Archmage. My injury had yet to recover and I got injured again. I'll only be able to display 70% of my power at most, so how could I be Green Watson's opponent?'

Lin Yun saw Thorne's inaction and sneered before casually throwing a potion to him.

”Try this.”

The transparent bottle was filled with a pale golden liquid with a drop of blood floating in the center.

This was one of Lin Yun's rewards on the expedition. There was a drop of God Blood, and the golden liquid was a solution that could store God Blood without it losing its efficiency.

Thorne grabbed the potion and didn't care what it was. He knew that Lin Yun was a formidable alchemist, so he assumed that it was a powerful potion. He drank the potion and swallowed the drop of God Blood along with it. After a few seconds, he let out a loud shout and his originally pale skin seemed to be burning.

Blue veins appeared on his forehead, and the veins on his arms started bulging. A loud rumble echoed from his abdomen.

A violent aura was emitted from Thorne's body, and there was even a trace of God Aura in it. That God aura kept merging with Thorne's body.

Thorne's aura frantically rose. The strength he had lost because of his injuries had instantly been restored, while his strength, which had stagnated for a while, started growing.

Shock could be seen in Thorne's eyes. He could clearly feel his power continuously rising and his aura flaring up. His mind was clear, and he could feel a sort of barrier slowly dissipating.

The 6th Rank was right in front of him!

”Roar!” Thorne let out a loud cry as his Aura burst out.

His body seemed to be burning with a transparent flame as the bursting aura slowly congealed and condensed into a red crystal armor covering his body.

Breakthrough!

6th Rank Sword Saint!

The gap between the 5th and 6th Rank was extremely large. The 5th Rank could be reached from the 1st Rank over time through the acc.u.mulation of power.
