Chapter 523: Battle of Moroes
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Facing the first ray of the Rising Sun, Lei Luo walked to the main road of the Jingdou government. There was no one there. Everyone knew that it was the last day of the martial arts conference, so they had long since gone to the venue to occupy their seats.
Stroking his wrist, the sky from the clouds was quietly lying in the divine space, carrying their wishes. On this day, Lei Luo was not fighting alone.
Even if the general wanted to rely on Papafilin, there was no harm in it for the people of the northern border. However, the crux of the problem was that if the demon world had invaded before, Papafilin would not have come to support them.
It was imperative to repair the node. The previous night, Lei Luo carefully studied the magic circuits in the clouds. Among them, there were three special spells, which seemed to be self-created by Banzo. They were [ heaven and earth isolation ] , [ premonition ] , and [ sharpness ] .
[ heaven and earth isolation ] was a spell about the node. This was the first time Lei Luo had seen a spell without a level. It could not be measured by level, and its ability was defined according to its magic power and output method.
The node was one of its functions. It did not include building a spatial node, entering, and leaving. The size of this space depended on the amount of magic power output. It was impossible to imagine how much magic power Banzo had used to isolate the gate to the demon world.
[ precognition ] was the ability of the arcane tome. Along with the magic array that Shinji Sakamami had broken away from, it also gave Shinji Sakamami the ability to predict the future. However, the restrictions were very big.
Mana was needed, and it was necessary. It was related to Shinji Sakamami. During this period of time, Shinji Sakamami did not realize that he had extracted mana from the node to use [ precognition ] . This was also something that Lei Luo had discovered when he was studying the sky from the clouds.
Every time during the ritual, when he was near the node, the heavenly book would get closer to the node. This was why Shinji Sakamami did not use up any of his mana. Otherwise, he would not be able to use [ foresight ] a few times.
The last [ sharpness ] was very simple. It increased its sharpness based on the amount of mana input. Once it reached a certain limit, it could cut through space. As long as there was enough mana, Lei Luo felt that there was nothing in this world that the heavenly cloud could not cut through.
The other mana circuits were all blank. Just like the saintly being, he could inscribe magic arrays based on his impression. Lei Luo also guessed that there was some kind of connection between the sky from the clouds and the saintly being, and this was also the reason why Shinji Sakamami gave the “”sky from the clouds” to him.
As he walked on the street, Lei Luo’s mood began to calm down. Since he had come, he would take things as they came. Even if he got the sky from the clouds, he would also carry Shinji Sakamami’s wish to protect this piece of land.
Before Lei Luo could react, he saw the crowd at the venue. Everyone was talking and cheering. The content of the conversation was nothing more than that.
“Who do you think can become the champion of this martial arts competition?”
“I support Miyamoto Musashi. Outsiders should get as far away as possible.”
“Don’t say that. I think both Moroes and James have a good chance. After all, James has yet to be defeated and entered the finals.”
“I think it’s better if Moroes doesn’t go through with it. The last time I smashed him to death…”
There were countless such conversations. Lei Luo felt a little bored listening to them, so he walked to the side of the arena and stood next to Miyamoto Musashi.
At the side, Miyamoto Musashi solemnly said to Lei Luo, “Last night, did you really take away the divine artifact that the Takeda family head had reserved for you?”
Lei Luo did not know that he was so shameless. He only frowned and said, “No, that did not belong to him in the first place.”
When Miyamoto Musashi heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief and said to Lei Luo, “That’s good. Your first opponent will be that Moroes. In the largest gambling den in the northern border, someone placed a heavy bet on him, and someone also placed a heavy bet on you. The winner takes it all.”
There was no need to think about who it was. It was definitely a bet between the Takeda family head and the general. As for what the winner would get, it was unknown.
Lei Luo chatted with Miyamoto Musashi for a while. He looked at Moroes on the other side as if he was preparing for something. After noticing Lei Luo looking at him, he made a throat-cutting gesture in a futile attempt to intimidate Lei Luo. Lei Luo couldn’t be bothered with him.
The referee strode to the stage and presided over the focus match.
“Hello, everyone. This is the final match of the Northern Frontier Martial Arts Conference. The one standing on my right is Mr. Moroes from the Takeda family. Everyone, give him a round of applause!”
Many people from the northern frontier stood up and cheered for moroes. Many people watched Moroes’performance with passion. They tore him apart and flayed him alive. They admired his style of torturing his opponents every time. So what if he was one of their own? You have to have this kind of awareness when you go on stage. Most of the people who cheered for Moroes were unified by this thought.
Although some of them were booing, they could not withstand the cheers of so many people. Some people even started fighting in the audience seats. It was fortunate that the imperial guards in charge of this conference came forward in time to stop them. Otherwise, people would have died.
“On the other side is Mr. James from the Seventh Province.”
At this time, no one cheered. The main reason was that no one knew how to evaluate Lei Luo. This person was undoubtedly very powerful, but there was nothing that the audience liked about him, especially when the head of the Takeda family blamed Lei Luo for Moroes falling on the audience seats and killing people.
At that time, six people died. The magic barrier protecting the audience had long disappeared, but Moroes still did not stop. Lei Luo could only use this method, but the head of the Takeda family said that it was a dirty trick to kill Moroes.
The two of them walked onto the stage at the same time. The referee watched the two of them walk onto the stage. He retreated to the bottom of the stage and said loudly, “Begin.”
But the two of them did not make a move. Moroes spoke first. “If you hand over the ‘sky from the clouds,’ I can leave your corpse intact.”
“Are you that confident that you can defeat me?” Lei Luo asked him calmly. He was not too concerned about what he said. Knowing that the “sky from the clouds” was related to the node, it was easy to understand his purpose. It was nothing more than wanting to take the “sky from the clouds” and using it to open the node.
“I don’t think you can kill me. Then how are you going to defeat me? You will run out of magic power, but you can’t kill me.”
Lei Luo did not know why he was so sure that he would not die. Their conversation was blocked by the magic barrier. The audience outside only knew that they were communicating, but they did not know what they were talking about.
This was also a protection for the audience. After all, the sound of an air explosion from a strong fighter could easily make a group of deaf people go deaf.
“Don’t say so much. I’ll have to go to the demon world sooner or later. I hope you won’t disappoint me now.”
Moroes did not continue to speak. He knew that he could not get the “sky from the clouds” with his mouth. Only by completely killing Lei Luo could he complete the mission that his master had given him.
A great battle was about to break out.
