"You damn little midget, do you dare to fight me one on one?"
As those words left his mouth, everyone looked at Maxwell.
Maxwell's expression was filled with domineering arrogance.
Many gnomes present were dumbfounded by this.
"Madness! This human has become a complete loony!"
"Challenging our gnome race's number one expert? Is this human okay in the head?"
"He is not normal, right?"
"Definitely abnormal. As long as you're somewhat normal, no one would say such words like his."
"Asher started sculpting arrays at the age of two. He was then proficient in all the gnome race's arrays by the age of five. He was able to break an ancient array of ours at the age of ten and even modify it to become our gnome race's number one array. He's an array grandmaster, and also a super expert of the martial path. With his cultivation at the peak of level 2 diamond rank, he's only a step away from the Platinum rank. A human that doesn't know arrays wants to challenge him?"
They hated Asher.
They hated his viciousness, hated how he was lower than a beast, and hated what he had done.
They all wished that Asher would die; the more miserable his death, the better.
But all the gnomes were clear that Asher was their tribe's number one warrior. Unless the entire Iron Blood Corps made their move, no one would be able to kill him. And even if the entire Iron Blood Corps attacked together, they would still have to pay a huge price for it. If Asher wanted to escape instead of fight, no one would be able to stop him.
A level 3 diamond ranker wanted to challenge him?
This human definitely had something wrong with his brain!
At this moment, many gnomes were sighing on behalf of Maxwell.
Fernando's brows were locked together because he didn't expect Maxwell to suddenly say such words either. His worry was only for Maxwell, his boss. He advised without bias: "Boss, Asher is extremely strong. You…"
Without letting Fernando finish...
Asher started laughing into the air. He was laughing like crazy, and a trace of disdain could be heard. When he finished laughing, he shouted: "Good! I accept the challenge from a lowly human like you. But since this is a duel, there have to be some conditions involved."
This might be his chance!
As long as he kills Maxwell, the spatial laws constraint over his head would be lifted. He could then do whatever he wanted, even...
Asher started laughing evilly inside his heart.
Maxwell faintly smiled and replied: "You damn midget, just spew out whatever conditions you have."
Asher glared and said, "My conditions are simple. First: This is a life and death battle and won't end until one of us is dead!"
Since they were going to fight, someone had to die.
In Asher's heart, Maxwell had to die.
As long as Maxwell dies, there would be no one left to stop him. Moreover, he had noticed the eyes of some of the Iron Blood Corps soldiers. It was very clear that they were afraid of him. Once he's able to quickly kill Maxwell and the little mongrel, the soldiers won't dare to make any rash moves!
A chance!
This was a great opportunity!
At this moment in time, Asher seemed to have seen the dawn of a new day. It was as if he could see himself ascending the throne of the king.
As for Maxwell, he had never placed him in his eyes!
Maxwell replied without hesitation: "All you wanted was a fight to the death? I was actually afraid that you would try to run away."
Maxwell started laughing internally: "You damn midget boss, fighting to the death is exactly what I wanted. If you wanted to escape, my Eternal Kingdom might not be able to stop you. Having a boss run away would be too great a loss for me."
The space that the Eternal Kingdom Technique creates is best used against those at the same or lower level than Maxwell. When using against Asher, who's at level 2 diamond rank, it might not be that useful.
But Asher didn't know about this, or else he would have used the Escape Array and run away already.
Seeing how Maxwell agreed, Asher smiled smugly and said, "Kid, you're definitely going to die."
Right after, he continued: "Second condition: This little mongrel's life will be under my control. Whether he lives or dies will be up to my mood."
This would be his protection talisman.
He couldn't determine if the Iron Blood Corps was going to move against him or not. But if Fernando was in the palm of his hands, then whatever the outcome was would no longer be an issue.
"No way!"
"You refused to stop after killing the King and Queen, now you even want to hold the Prince captive? You're the damn devil incarnate! Don't agree to it!"
"Don't agree to it…"
The gnomes immediately opposed the condition.
Maxwell didn't agree to it and looked at Fernando. Such a condition would need to be personally agreed to by the person themselves.
Fernando didn't hesitate and replied: "Fine, I agree to the condition!"
As those words faded, he looked towards Maxwell and giggled: "Boss, I believe in you!"
With his life on the line, there was no hesitation at all!
Fernando was really not ordinary.
This gave Maxwell another surprise since this wasn't a decision a seven-year-old could make with such decisiveness. Maxwell faintly smiled and said, "Little squirt, I won't let you fall into his hands again.
"Agghhh…"
The gnomes present started causing a commotion.
"You're not Asher's opponent, so don't put our Royal Highness the Prince into it."
"Asher's abilities in array have reached the apex, so how can you be his opponent? If a human like you wants to die, then just go die. Don't drag our Royal Prince into it as well."
Many gnomes started opposing like crazy.
They were all clear on how strong Asher was, so they automatically presumed Maxwell would lose. And he would lose very quickly and miserably.
They were the most clear on how powerful an array was.
The gnomes used their arrays to resist the devil race, the dragon race, and the human race. And Asher happened to be an array grandmaster proficient in all types of arrays. Even if a King rank expert arrived, they might not be his opponent, not to mention Maxwell, who was only at level 3 diamond rank!
Fernando cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, there's no need to worry about me. He's my boss, and I believe he will definitely win!"
"Win?"
"What's he going to use to win?"
"With his sharp tongue?" Asher started laughing coldly. He then glanced at Maxwell as if looking at an insect that was about to die. As long as he made a random attack, Maxwell would instantly die without a burial. Asher then smiled smugly and said, "Third condition!"
"Are you done yet, you damn midget?!"
Hearing those two words, the third condition, Maxwell started scolding out: "Quit blabbing already. It's useless with all your bullshit and conditions. Since you're going to die anyway, those conditions are absolutely useless to you!"
There was a slight change to Asher's expression. He coldly smiled and continued saying: "Third condition: When you've reached hell, tell that little mongrel's parents that I succeeded. Hahaha…"
Fernando's expression underwent a drastic change. He started clenching his fists on and off, causing his fingernails to stab into his palms. Blood then started dripping from the palms of his little hands.
The rage inside Maxwell's heart exploded! The Vampire Blade also started giving off an ear-piercing ringing sound as it became angry as well.
Suddenly, with a single step, Maxwell's figure shot through the air and instantly arrived next to Asher with his blade raised.
A thunderous roar could be heard in the air!
The huge blade started moving as if it wanted to cleave the sky in two. The blade then chopped down, filled with a bloody aura.
Asher's lips curved into a cold smile as he said, "You want to kill me with just this level of attack?"
His right hand formed an array seal before slapping the air and shouting: "Psychic Array!"
In front of the array, a huge black tortoise rushed out!
He was really finished this time!
