Chapter 394 - The Final Attack

Elyk and Amon's swords clashed dozens of times. They might be 9th-rank Saints, but their battle made the audience astounded by their power.

"That human actually managed to stand toe to toe with His Highness!"

"His Highness is clearly not using his full strength. Look at his face. He looks extremely at ease."

Amon leisurely parried the sword strikes of Elyk, but he soon discovered that this human emperor has yet to use his strongest move.

Amon took the appearance of Elyk's second son for many years and after observing the human emperor for quite some time, he was already familiar with his sword skills.

"Old man, if you want to avenge your sons, then you have to do better than this! Hahaha!" Amon laughed mockingly as he casually evaded the attacks coming his way.

Elyk's eyes flashed for a moment, but he soon regained clarity.

Suddenly, he heard a woman's cold voice in his head.

"Elyk, you must kill this demon! He dared mock us humans! If there wasn't anyone else here, I would have killed him with my own hands! Hanzo isn't here now, so only a few average Demon Ancestors are present to protect him."

Hearing this, Elyk no longer had any concerns. His face turned cold as he erupted with his strongest power!

Sensing this, everyone was surprised.

"His power is nearing the Demon Lord level!"

Amon's eyes constricted as a trace of worry surfaced in his heart.

Seeing the turn around in their battle, Theia glanced at the other ladies. She then gave all of them a signal as they slowly approached the Demon Ancestors who are protecting Amon in the shadows. They maintained enough distance that wouldn't make them too suspicious.

The Demon Ancestors failed to notice this since they were too focused on the battle between Amon and Elyk.

"It looks like you are finally serious!" Amon smirked as he changed his stance. A heavy pressure emanated from him as he gathered his strength. He then proceeded to attack Elyk with a more powerful sword technique.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Elyk felt that Amon's swordsmanship suddenly became more unpredictable. If this continues, their battle would remain a stalemate. If that happens, his stamina would be the first to be depleted since Amon who trained in body strengthening had higher stamina than him.

Elyk's eyes suddenly narrowed as crazed madness slowly crept into him. A vicious look covered his face as he shouted with insanity. "Die!!!"

Amon's sword penetrated Elyk's shoulder, but the latter merely gritted his teeth as he hacked his sword towards Amon's neck!

No!

A Demon Ancestor shouted in fear as he watched this scene. He dashed towards the battle arena, but it was already too late!

Swoosh!

A severed head wearing a scared look spun in midair, making the entire place engulfed by silence.

Thud. Thud.

The headless corpse of Amon lay motionless on the battle arena, stained with his own blood.

As if unsatisfied by this, Elyk raised his sword and slashed the head that was descending to the ground.

Swoosh!

Amon's head was slashed into two equal pieces!

Silence...

The old referee was stunned into silence and he could only stare at Elyk's face with a dumbfounded look. This human was too ruthless. He actually killed the Demon Emperor's son!

"You! Human, how dare you kill His Highness Amon! Kill him!" A Demon Ancestor shouted with a furious look as he pounced towards the battle arena. A few more individuals hidden among the crowd also followed his charge.

The spectators could only retreat after seeing the drastic turn of events. They still could not believe that there was actually a human brave enough to kill the prince!

Elyk stared at the incoming figure with a calm look, but he was actually feeling nervous. However, he knew that Theia and the others wouldn't sit still.

"Stop!"

A slim figure wearing battle armor suddenly appeared in front of Elyk. Her blonde hair danced wildly as huge amounts of true essence congregated around her body.

The Demon Ancestor leading the demons stopped and stared at the blonde woman with a wary look. He saw her standing behind Jiu Shen like a loyal maidservant. He didn't dare do anything rashly with Theia blocking their way.

"Young Miss Theia, what is the meaning of this?" The Demon Ancestor glared at Theia as he raised his hand, signaling his people to not make any movements. Provoking Theia was the same as stepping on Jiu Shen's tail. It would be terrible for them if this happened.

Theia put on a calm look as she replied with indifference. "There is no rule prohibiting anyone from killing their opponents. Dying in the competition means that they are too weak. Besides, that demon called us humans a weak race. If Wine Master Jiu was here, what do you think would he do after hearing someone mocking his own race?"

Hearing this, the Demon Ancestor was tongue-tied and he couldn't utter a rebuttal. Indeed. The prince threw disdainful remarks to the humans and even if Wine Master Jiu Shen wasn't here, someone would surely report it to him. With Wine Master Jiu Shen's strength, even Emperor Balmond might not be able to protect his son from getting punished!

In the end, the Demon Ancestor could only sigh heavily as he took a step back. "In that case, please allow me to apologize on behalf of His Highness. We don't want the peace between the two races to be broken because of this. However, I hope that Young Miss Theia would allow me to keep His Highness' corpse."

Theia nodded her head and escorted Elyk out of the battle arena. Blue and a few of her sisters then surrounded Elyk, preventing anyone from attacking him.

The Demon Ancestor collected Amon's corpse and left the battle arena with a dark look. He didn't know what sort of punishment he would face once His Majesty returns.

At the far corner of the third floor, Cornelia stared at Elyk with a murderous look, but she soon retracted it. "My dear brother, how absolutely foolish you are. Even in your death, you left behind a dirty mess...."
