Chapter 38: 38 - Void Piercing Sword

A few seconds ago, King was still having a headache because he felt Cerberus was way too tough, but now he finally realized that he was actually the toughest one here. Even a hundred Cerberuses wouldn’t be as tough as him.

To Cerberus, King was like a tiny fly buzzing around and being extremely annoying. The stamina it consumed to maintain this gigantic body was actually causing it more damage than the damage King was dealing.

When King used his divine skill, the number of attacks was very low, so it could react in time, but with this kind of rapid attack that dealt damage like needle pricks, it had no way to avoid them.

Cerberus wasn’t a good dog, and its temper was extremely hot-headed. Its red eyes glowed as if they were about to explode at any moment.

Its intelligence wasn’t high, but it wasn’t truly stupid either. After being slashed nearly a thousand times, it finally thought of a way to deal with him.

"RRRRAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOO—!"

The two heads of Cerberus lowered and let out a long roar. Two huge pillars of fire shot straight down onto the arena floor, releasing flames around it and forming a circle of fire with countless flames close to the arena floor.

Its front legs stomped down fiercely onto the stone floor, causing the entire arena to shake. The powerful flames that seemed to be clinging tightly to the arena floor suddenly rose into the air, forming a gigantic pillar of fire hundreds of meters high.

"You bastard!"

King was moving too fast and didn’t have time to dodge. The flames this time were stronger than ever. They could easily melt steel and, with power greater than a cannon shell, blasted him straight up to the ceiling of the arena.

King’s body flew straight up like a cannon shell and plunged deep into the earth and rocks. By the time the force was completely canceled out, everything in King’s field of vision was black because he was trapped inside the earth and rocks.

A dog with one head chopped off could actually burn my hair? If Iris finds out about this, she’ll definitely laugh at me until I can’t even lift my head.

The veins on King’s forehead bulged, his teeth clenched tightly. His long hair in the Heavenly Dao Swordsman state had incredibly strong durability, but the flames were still so hot that they singed a small part of the ends of his hair.

"You arrogant dog! I’ll kill you!"

Following King’s shout, spiritual power erupted from his body and blasted apart the layer of earth and rocks. The current position was really perfect. Just after escaping the restraint of the earth and rocks, King could immediately land on the gigantic rock suspended above the arena.

Just as he was about to rush down and try out the Third Divine Skill, King suddenly stopped because he had a new idea. Cerberus was fast enough to dodge this gigantic rock, but what if King stood here and provoked it into jumping up on its own?

"Haha, very good. Let’s see how this damn dog dodges this time."

White spiritual power mixed with golden spiritual power covered the Heavenly Dao Sword. King didn’t use his divine skill but wanted to rely on the feeling he had when using his divine skill to slash out a sword qi slash.

This ordinary sword qi slash was of course far inferior to a divine skill, but this attack was only to piss Cerberus off, not to finish it.

Sure enough, the talent of a ’reader’ was truly extraordinary. King only tried swinging his sword for the first time and had already created a sword qi slash about three meters long that shot rapidly down toward the arena floor.

Just as expected, Cerberus raised its two heads and could clearly see everything above, then immediately moved aside to dodge.

"RRRAAAAAAAOOOOOOO—!"

After dodging, it immediately raised its two huge heads to look at King and roared furiously. Two fireballs shot out from its mouths and rushed straight toward King.

Its attack still wasn’t over. When the two fireballs had flown about thirty meters, they immediately jumped straight up.

Coming up with a way to use fireballs to block my vision isn’t bad, but a dog is still just a dog. You’ve left the ground, so you’re definitely dead!

King immediately jumped up from the gigantic rock, the corner of his mouth curling up uncontrollably. Then he immediately turned around and made a motion as if preparing to thrust his sword straight toward the gigantic chain.

"Third Divine Skill - Void Piercing Sword!"

The Heavenly Dao Sword thrust straight forward. Golden spiritual power shone brilliantly and then shot straight forward like a cannon shell.

In terms of size, it was far too small compared to the sword qi slash of the First Divine Skill and Second Divine Skill. But since it was a divine skill, it naturally wouldn’t actually be inferior.

The Third Divine Skill released a type of sword qi slash with a smaller range but spun as fast as a bullet leaving the barrel. Its penetrating power was extremely terrifying. This was King’s only move that could blow Cerberus’s head off.

King’s position was extremely precise, so the sword qi slash shot straight forward, destroying two gigantic chains at the same time. The gigantic rock weighing tens of thousands of tons immediately fell down with nothing holding it up anymore.

King’s expectant gaze stared fixedly at Cerberus rushing through the air. He wanted to see whether the ’genius’ plan created by someone who didn’t know how to fight could set an unprecedented record for fighting across levels.

But the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. King’s expression had only just gotten better for a second before it looked like he had accidentally swallowed a fly.

The two heads of Cerberus spewed fire that wrapped around its four gigantic paws, forming four ’shoes’. With this completely illogical method, Cerberus could run through the air... No, saying it was flying would be more accurate because its speed was too fast.

Damn it! Everyone bullies me because I can’t fly, right? It’s fine if Iris bullies me. At least she’s pretty. But you’re just a dog, and you dare to bully a great reader like me too? You bastard!!!

The thought in King’s head right now wasn’t about finding a way to deal with this unexpected situation but cursing Cerberus as fast as possible.

"Fuck!!!"

His brain thought quickly, but speaking out loud was still quite slow, so he only had time to yell out one word before seeing Cerberus appear above him. One of its burning front paws was raised high, intending to use all its strength to crush King.

Just as King raised the Heavenly Dao Sword to block the attack, a blinding white light flew toward him...
