The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt)

Chapter 1006

The thunderous echoes resounded continuously, shaking the surroundings

Made beams ran all over, rending the earth apart and leaving deep craters behind.

Steve and the armored young man engaged in a furious battle, moving at such incredible speed that it defied human perception.

In reality, their figures disappeared, replaced by intense bursts of saber beams, making it nearly impossible to discern the

outcome

Wherever they went, buildings and walls crumbled in their wake.

The surging blade beams sliced through steel walls effortlessly, reducing them to rubble like cheese.

Unfortunate warriors who failed to evade in time were ruthlessly minced into a bloody mess by the ferocious saber beams.

“Clear the way!”

Onlookers were stunned by the sheer ferocity of their attacks and quickly retreated, creating a safe space for the battle.

Boom

Finally, with a deafening boom, a terrifying shockwave sent everyone within a 900–foot radius hurtling through the air.

Speakers, flags, and various tools were instantly shattered into countless pieces.

Steve and the armored youth separated, taking a moment to catch their breath on opposite sides.

The armored youth bled from seven wounds, gasping for air, his face contorted in excruciating pain. Nevertheless, he tightly gripped the war blade, his eyes ablaze with unwavering determination and a thirst for bloodshed.

Meanwhile, Steve fared even worse. He, too, bled from seven wounds, his face pale, and his lips tinged with a dark. purplish hue.

His body bore numerous deep gashes, exposing glimpses of bone and leaving a trail of blood.

It was evident that he had been poisoned and injured, greatly weakening his strength. Currently, he was unable to slay the young man and, instead, endured further wounds at his adversary’s hands.

Yet, he stood tall, emanating a commanding and chilling presence, as he coldly locked his gaze onto the armored youth, exuding an overwhelming aura.

Majestic like a mountain!

Vast like the ocean!

He had unfathomable depths!

Consequently, many were intimidated by him, afraid to draw near.

“I thought you were so formidable, but it seems you’ve also resorted to a secret technique just to barely hold on until now.” The armor youth wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared coldly at Steve. He shouted, “Men, he used a secret technique to temporarily suppress the poison in his body.

“But now, he’s already weakened. Don’t worry, we all possess divine artifacts bestowed upon us by God.

“I guarantee we can defeat him!”

With that, he approached Steve with his saber, emanating a fierce killing intent.

Upon hearing this, the others showed signs of joy and moved swiftly toward Steve, surrounding him.

Steve wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. “It’s true, I’m weakened internally, but if I fight with all my strength, 1 can still defeat all of you!”

“We are protected by divine artifacts. Do you truly believe you can kill us?” sneered the armored youth.

Upon hearing this, Steve furrowed his brow.

The armor worn by this young man was indeed extraordinary. No matter how he attacked, it remained intact. It truly deserved to be called a divine artifact.

And the weapons held by the others were also divine artifacts.

If they all attacked him together, there was a high likelihood that he would perish.

09:48

After all, the armored youth was right. He had forcefully used a secret technique to suppress the poison in his body.

The intense battle with the armored youth earlier had truly injured his internal organs.

At this moment, he felt the poison in his body becoming increasingly difficult to control. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Engaging in a life–and–death battle with this group of people would surely result in his demise.

With these thoughts. Steve felt a sense of despair.

“Oh, so you’re a bunch of worthless losers who can only rely on the strength of others. No wonder you were used as pawns by them!”

Just as Steve was sinking into despair, Nigel’s icy voice suddenly resounded.

Along with the voice came a powerful and terrifying force that directly struck the armored youth and the others.

Except for the armored youth, the others hadn’t even realized what was happening before their bodies were pierced by this formidable force, drenched in blood.

They stared at the bloody wounds on their bodies and glanced behind them in disbelief.

They found that Nigel suddenly appeared behind them. He looked at them with a contemptuous expression.

“What a bunch of worthless fools!” Nigel sneered with disdain.

Gray and Locke, standing behind Nigel. had already been beheaded.

Looking at Nigel, others fell to the ground.

They died with unresolved grievances.

“And who the hell are you?”

Steve’s face showed a puzzled expression as he locked eyes with Nigel, his surprise evident.

Steve was well aware of his own abilities, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t gain control of the situation instantly.

The person standing before him, seemingly of similar age, had effortlessly defeated the three enemies with a single move. Though it was a sneak attack, even if they stood still and let him attack, Steve couldn’t penetrate their defense formed by their weapons.

“I am associated with Shadow Knight.”

Nigel’s face turned unusually serious as he spoke in a deep voice, “If it weren’t for our king instructing me to help you, based on your actions against our king alone, it would be enough for you to die here!”

Nigel’s words sent a shiver down Steve’s spine. When did he provoke the king of Shadow Knight?

After the incidents preceding the era of the Whileal Kingdom, Shadow Knight had become an entity that various forces in the world dared not provoke..

No matter how stubborn he was, Steve wouldn’t dare to act hostile toward Shadow Knight, let alone its king.

Nigel didn’t give Steve a moment to think. He turned around and fixed his gaze on the young man in armor, grinning. “Looks like your divine artifact is quite impressive, surviving my attack.”

A moment ago, he had launched a ruthless attack, eliminating everyone else.

However, his strike hit the armor, leaving it undamaged, although the powerful force sent the armored youth flying.

“And who the hell are you?” The armored youth stared at Nigel, his eyes serious and cautious.

When Nigel attacked earlier, the armored youth also defended himself, but he still got hit by him.

If he didn’t have the armor protecting him, he might have died.

Nigel maintained a calm gaze. “Like I told Steve, I’m with Shadow Knight.”

The armored youth’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this. He clenched his teeth and asked, “Isn’t Shadow Knight supposed to stay out of the affairs of other countries? Why are you helping the Longhard Kingdom now?”

Nigel shook his head and retorted, “Why do you need to know so much when you’re already dead”

The armored youth gritted his teeth, his gaze turning cold. “I have a divine artifact protecting me. Do you think you can kili mer
