Chapter 161: 160 The Thwarted Outcome (Please subscribe! Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

“Boom!!!”

This was a cataclysmic roar.

It was as if the sky had suddenly shattered and the earth had suddenly split apart; the deafening roar arose abruptly, startling everyone on their way to the Royal Palace Arena. They clutched their ears in pain, their heads aching, and involuntarily let out cries of misery or screams of terror, before collapsing to the ground.

The trembling of the Royal Palace intensified a hundredfold, even a thousandfold.

The already frenzied Magic Power had turned into a vortex, swirling violently in the sky above the palace.

An astonishing force spread outwards like an invisible shockwave, radiating from the center of the Royal Palace Arena. First, it shook the entire Royal Palace, then burst forth to shake Lake Heart Island, and finally, it even rocked the Royal Capital Lake where the island was situated, causing the tranquil waters to suddenly erupt in waves.

Such a phenomenon, in the end, seemed to be noticed by the people in the Royal Capital.

Thus, the pedestrians on the streets stopped in their tracks, gazing in extreme astonishment towards the direction of the palace, and the area became abuzz with commotion. Many horses pulling carts appeared to be startled, and even the children seemed to have heard the loud noise, being frightened into tears, leading to a sense of chaos that began to spread through the capital.

And all of this was caused by the two Magic Blades, akin to celestial pillars, clashing together within the Royal Palace Arena.

“Haahhhaaaa———-!”

Inside the arena, Shane and Luoqi screamed in unison, as the Giant Magic Blades, which they had brought crashing downwards with their Holy Swords, collided, creating a terrifying impact.

“Bam bam bam bam bam…”

The ground cracked open inch by inch, turning into numerous fragments, and began to sink.

“Crack…! Crack crack crack crack…!”

On the stands around them, the walls too shattered one after another, turning to dust.

“Bang!”

The Barrier set up around the arena, after enduring the terrifying Magic Power shock, was easily shaken at first, then was found to be riddled with cracks, continued to fracture, and finally, shattered completely, no longer existing.

This was all due to the aftermath of the Magical Sword duel between Shane and Luoqi.

Both combatants’ Magical Swords were setting off layer upon layer of Magic Power ripples in their collision, and the ensuing storm transformed into a hurricane of destruction, fragmenting the ground, erasing the atmosphere, and reducing the entire arena to a scene of disastrous destruction. Only the surrounding area where Shane and Luoqi stood remained relatively intact, protected by the incredible Magic Power that blazed forth from them.

But aside from that area, everywhere else could be described as a scene of total catastrophe, shattered and overwhelmed.

If this continued, the entire arena, even the entire Royal Palace, might be implicated and eventually destroyed.

However, neither Shane nor Luoqi could stop now; they could only grit their teeth and pour all of their Magic Power into their Magical Swords, each striving to overpower the other and secure the victory.

Ironically, both of them possessed the Skill Magic Recovery, with high Skill Levels to complement their own Magic Power, causing their Magic Power to recover as crazily as it was being spent.

That is to say, this clash could definitely not determine a victor in the short term.

Shane and Luoqi both realized this and inwardly cursed at the unfavorable situation.

Because, if things really turned out that way, the Magic Power they continued to squander could truly turn into a catastrophe that would affect the entire Royal Capital.

At that point, the problem would be enormous.

“No! We can’t keep this stalemate going!”

This thought occurred to both Shane and Luoqi.

So, they had to grit their teeth once again.

“This is it!”

With that thought crossing their minds, both Shane and Luoqi twisted their Holy Swords in hand.

Yes.

Once again, as if by telepathy, they were in sync, preparing to release the Sealing on the Holy Sword to quickly decide the outcome.

Even Luoqi was now considering using her Unique Skill.

Although that Skill wasn’t something that could be used recklessly, there was no choice but to take that risk now.

With that in mind, both were ready to begin Chanting the Spell to unseal the Holy Sword.

However, just at this moment, an unexpected phenomenon suddenly occurred.

“Boom!”

With another roar of the atmosphere, a third Magical Sword appeared in the battered arena.

This Magical Sword did not have the terrifying presence of Shane or Luoqi, and its magic power was far less than the scale of the two.

But this Magical Sword was exceptionally solid, like a tangible object, emitting an extremely intense Magic Light.

And the one wielding such a Magical Sword was a man brimming with the essence of a Strong Knight.

“Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…!”

The Strong Knight bellowed, seeming to descend from the sky as he leaped into the arena from the outside and jumped up high, bringing down a Slashing attack on the colliding Magical Swords of Shane and Luoqi.

The third Magical Sword heavily smashed onto the colliding Magical Swords of Shane and Luoqi. After a stalemate, it began Cutting into them.

“Ptui!”

In the next instant, a crisp Cutting sound reached everyone’s ears.

The Strong Knight’s Magical Sword simply severed Shane and Luoqi’s Magical Swords, causing the converging blades to shatter directly into a violent stream rushing outward.

However, before this magical turmoil could spread in all directions and destroy everything, a calm voice rang out.

“Magic Disperse!”

A King wearing a King’s Robe and a golden crown raised his Scepter, Chanting, making the gem on the Scepter shine brightly.

The brightness shone on the Magic turbulence, causing the violent stream to come to a complete halt.

Then, the chaotic Magic currents dissipated as if melting snowflakes under the sun, vanishing without a trace.

With that, the confrontation came to an end.

Inside the arena, everything returned to calm.

“Phew…”

Witnessing this scene, both Shane and Luoqi let out a sigh of relief before they felt astonishment.

But no sooner had they relaxed, Shane’s expression suddenly changed, and without hesitation, he raised the Holy Sword in his hand, positioning it defensively in front of himself.

“Clang!”

Almost at the same moment, a Wide-blade Greatsword, two meters in height, heavily swung in from in front of Shane and struck against the hastily erected Holy Sword, stirring up a fierce gust.

“…!”

Shane felt a numbness in his arm as a terrifying force transferred from the greatsword, shaking the ground beneath his feet to rubble, and dust erupted around him, spreading out like a sandstorm.

“So heavy…!”

Shane couldn’t help but groan.

This strike, in terms of sheer force, was much heavier than Luoqi’s previous blow that had pushed him back, nearly overwhelming Shane’s Deflection.

If the sword hadn’t been swinging downward, Shane might have been cleaved away, to say the least.

And the one who had delivered this strike was none other than the Strong Knight who had severed the Magical Swords of Shane and Luoqi.

“Who are you?”

The Strong Knight asked coldly.

Shane’s temper flared immediately.

“I’m your daddy!”

With that, Magic Power erupted from Shane’s body.

“Boom!”

This time, it was an Explosion that echoed throughout.
