YM778.TV Chapter 597 Did You Really Think A Weakling Like You Could Defeat Me?
"For him to act so irrationally, things must have gone out of his expectation. It is now as clear as day, he broke the treat-"
Before Alcimus could complete his sentence, Herms shouted,
"Of course, things have gone out of my expectation! I never thought you would plan everything so thoroughly, I never thought Armando, the General I trusted would betray me and my Kingdom like this and lie in front of everyone!"
Herms then turned towards Astaria and,
"Astaria! This bastard is lying! He had forged everything on his, it must be his way of taking revenge against my Kingdom because his Army couldn\'t do anything agai-"
Before Herms could complete, He was sent flying.
*Bam*
"Khhoocckhh!"
His body clashed with the wall, the wall broke and Herms coughed out blood.
Alcimus punched him out of nowhere, he was unable to use Mana to defend himself.
That\'s not it, Alcimus also used his own Mana instead of surrounding Mana so as to not alert Herms, therefore, the punch was stronger than normal.
Herms was definitely hurt.
*Cough* *Cough*
Alcimus coughed again, he removed the debris covering his body and glared at Alcimus with an angry look on his face.
"You dare attack me sneakily!?"
However, instead of replying, Alcimus disappeared and appeared near Herms and kicked his face.
This time, however, Herms was prepared, he quickly used his Mana to defend, however, Alcimus\'s attack was still much more impactful.
His body was sent flying away.
However, Herms quickly recollected himself and stood up.
He understood what Alcimus wanted.
Alcimus appeared in front of him again and punched, he defended the attack and then aimed at Alcimus\'s face.
Alcimus dodged and then kicked Herms away.
"Heeh? He is stronger compared to the last time I met him."
Astaria, who was watching the fight with an interested look on his face commented.
"Alcimus?" Nux, who was standing beside her questioned.
"Mhm."
Nux couldn\'t help but frown.
"I don\'t see much difference."
[Name: Alcimus Skadi.]
[Age: 458]
[Mana Cultivation: Emperor.]
[Body Cultivation: Mortal.]
[Race: Human]
[Occupation: Protector of the Woods Dynasty.]
[Talent: Exceptional]
[LVL: 70]
…
[Name: Herms Lysander.]
[Age: 489]
[Mana Cultivation: Emperor.]
[Body Cultivation: Mortal.]
[Race: Human]
[Occupation: Protector of the Solid Earth Kingdom.]
[Talent: Exceptional]
[LVL: 70]
…
Nux used [Eye of Discerning] on both men who were currently fighting each other, and just like what happened with Astaria, he failed to see anything useful.
All he could see was that both of them were Level 70, which was quite strange because Astaria, the strongest human was also Level 70.
Why is she the strongest human then?
Nux wondered inwardly.
And as if she heard what he was thinking, Astaria started explaining.
"When one becomes an Emperor, his ability is judged by how great his control over Mana is. When it comes to physical abilities, all of us emperors are pretty much the same, it is the control over Mana that makes us different from each other.
Alcimus\'s control over his Mana has gotten better compared to the last time I saw him, therefore, he is a lot stronger than before now."
"Does that mean Herms will lose?"
Nux questioned.
For some reason, he felt that things wouldn\'t be this simple.
And from the looks of it, Astaria had the same thought as well,
"Of course not."
She replied.
Nux narrowed his eyes, wanting further explanation.
"Herms isn\'t called the second strongest human without a reason, keep in mind, before me, he was the one who held the title of the strongest human.
Alcimus may be strong enough to fight him for now, but that is only because he was the one who dealt the first blow sneakily.
Of course, the current situation may look advantageous for Alcimus, but,"
Suddenly, Astaria turned silent.
Nux frowned and Astaria pointed towards the battlefield.
Nux turned around and quickly noticed that Herms had grabbed Alcimus\'s hand,
"Did you really think a weakling like you could defeat me?"
"We won\'t know until we try."
Alcimus used force to free his hand and then jumped back.
An evil smile appeared on Herms\'s bloody face,
"Don\'t fool yourself, Alcimus. We already know who is stronger between the two of us. You wouldn\'t have used the sneak attack if you didn\'t know."
"Shut your trap."
Alcimus didn\'t care about anything and rushed towards Herms.
He was called the third strongest human, a glorified title, however, in truth, he was the second weakest among the 4 Emperors.
This was shameful.
And today, Alcimus was planning to wash this shame with Herms\'s blood.
His sword appeared in his hand, he quickly appeared in front of Herms, however, soon, a Great Sword appeared in Herms\'s hand and he defended the attack.
"Hah~ A coward like you has gained some confidence. Good."
Herms laughed, then, his smile widened as he spoke with a crazy look on his face.
"Now let me step on that confidence of yours and destroy it."
He then rushed towards Alcimus and attacked.
Alcimus blocked, however, anyone could see that he was having trouble defending against Herms\'s attack.
Herms\'s base strength was higher than all the emperors, even Astaria.
When he used Mana to raise this strength to the next level, he became even stronger.
Defending against his attacks was not simple, especially when he attacks continuously like a crazy man.
Herms\'s fighting style was rough, which, many wouldn\'t believe after seeing his refined attack.
It is as if his personality changes the moment he starts fighting, of course, this side of him was seen very rarely.
*Clang* *Clang* *Clang*
"Hahaha~ how long are you going to keep defending?"
Herms laughed.
Alcimus\'s face turned solemn, however, suddenly, a small smile appeared on his face.
*Whoosh*
An arrow aimed at Herms\'s shoulder, the man only managed to reflect it when it was just about to hit him.
Herms\'s expression changed.
He turned towards the direction the arrow came from and soon, his expression changed.
He was surrounded.
