Chapter 605: A Duel Between Brothers

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“No!”

As he held the body of his beloved, Antonio roared into the sky. Memories of Vivian flashed through his mind.

“My name is Vivian, the guardian of the forest. You are a despicable thief. If you want to drink from the spring of life, you must promise me one thing. You must protect the Elven Kingdom in the future. If you can’t, I would rather destroy the Spring of Life than let you have it.”

“Why do you always come back wounded every time you go out to fight? Can you stop fighting? Is it essential to expand your territory? Instead of expanding your territory, it’s better to find a kingdom that already exists and live in peace. Is there a difference between the Elven Kingdom and the Human Kingdom?”

“Antonio, are you leaving? I want to make a new agreement with you. One day, if you can’t keep the agreement to protect the Elven Kingdom, you have to come to see me. As long as you come, you can take me anywhere.”

“I can be anywhere, as long as it’s where you are.”

Vivian had expressed her feelings more than 400 years ago, which had not changed over the years. In the past, he had used the Holy Dragon Kingdom as an excuse to think that he had eternal life and that Vivian had a long time to live. So, he had neglected what was important to him. He could take Vivian anywhere, but Vivian was no longer there.

“Antonio…” Reid reached out his hand to comfort his friend, but his words turned into a sigh.

As Antonio’s good friend, he knew how his friend felt about Vivian. When they were in the royal city, the two of them often drank together. Every time they drank, there were a few times Antonio cried out Vivian’s name while holding a barrel of wine. The sadness on his face made Reid’s heart ache. Since then, he had been drinking with Antonio more. He wanted to drink, and he hoped that his old friend could use alcohol to numb his heartache.

He knew Antonio, so he understood how Vivian’s death would affect Antonio.

Frigga had somehow emerged from Antonio’s cage, made of life energy. She looked on coldly and said, “Antonio, how does it feel to have your beloved die in front of you?”

Her tone was like an audience member ready to leave after a wonderful performance. For her, Vivian’s death was only a part of the drama, and she could not be moved.

“I want you to die!”

Antonio forced each word out of his mouth. He put Vivian’s body on the ground, and a scarlet flame burned on her body. The flame contained the smell of blood and the light of the soul. Antonio was burning his own life. His tier was rising from the diamond tier to the starlight tier.

He had taken the water from the Spring of Life and the Blessings of the Gods and Demons. Not only did he have infinite life, but he had also become young again. He no longer had an unlimited life span.

“Antonio, what are you doing? Are you crazy? Stop it.” Reid reached out to touch Antonio’s body but was repelled by the powerful, burning blood-red energy on Antonio’s body.

“Reid, don’t worry about me. This has nothing to do with you. Leave now and go find Watson. Tell him that I won’t be able to accompany him anymore.”

“Leave? It’s too late for that now.”

Frigga reached out and curled her red hair behind her ear. There was a hint of mockery in her smile. “Antonio, why do you think I let Vivian die in front of you? Your emotions have gone through waves of pride, gluttony, and anger, and now it’s fixed on anger. The power of emotions comes from the Yin-elemental magic source. You may not know that, but Watson created that power source when I induced it.

“No one is better at the power of emotions than the Primordial Demoness. Just now, you used the peak starlight-tier weapon in your hand to release yin-elemental power. It’s not easy for me to control you! It’s different now. You have been blinded by anger. Even if I state my plan now, you can’t control your anger, can you?”

Antonio took a deep breath, and his expression did not change. Frigga was right. After Vivian’s death, he was filled with anger. It was useless even if he told himself not to be angry or he would fall into her trap. Sometimes, one could not control their emotions.

“I liked the previous scene when your beloved died. I want to see a more exciting drama—a duel between brothers! As the two main actors, Reid and Antonio, you must not let me down.”

Frigga clapped her hands, and Antonio raised his right hand. The Fusion Thread of the Dual God contained terrifying power and flew out with a whistling sound. However, the target was not Frigga but Reid.

Antonio was controlled by his emotions due to his anger. So, Frigga had directed his anger toward Reid, causing him to have no choice but to attack Reid.

“Reid, hurry up and leave. I am about to lose control…”

“Idiot, it’s too late for me to leave now.” Reid raised his hand, and a brilliant divine Kingdom of the Sword appeared. It collided with the Fusion Thread of the Dual God, and the intense vibration destroyed a large piece of land in the Forest of Eternity. Cracks appeared in the air.

If it were not for Watson fusing many high-tier magical sources, causing the energy contained in the world to be several times stronger than before, and the ability to withstand it to be stronger, that collision would have shattered the space.

Reid glanced at Frigga, who was eyeing him covetously as he spoke. “King Landhar III, as the kingdom’s Sword Saint, I am a pillar of the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Over the years, I have contributed a lot to the kingdom. Isn’t it a little inappropriate for you to treat us like that?”

“Yes, the two of you have contributed a lot, so I have decided to give you a dignified death! The future Holy Dragon Kingdom doesn’t need Watson, so naturally, it doesn’t need you.”

“Reid, don’t you always claim that your strength is greater than mine, and that the weapons you obtained from Watson are far superior to mine? Hurry up and defeat me, and then run away.”

“I was just jealous. I’ll be frank. I’ve always been jealous of you getting to know Watson as his master earlier. I’m clearly stronger than you, but that child looks at you with more respect.”

“You’re crazy. Why are you saying that now?”

“You’re crazy too. Why are you the one being controlled? I don’t know magic, so I can’t even contact Watson! But this is an excellent opportunity. Let’s decide who wins and who loses. We haven’t fought head-on for a long time after Watson gave us powerful weapons.”

Reid and Antonio mocked each other. The flames from their own lives burned on their bodies and collided with each other. The violent explosion and the light drowned everything else.

After about half an hour, Frigga looked at the ground under her feet, which was riddled with holes and smoke. She clicked her tongue. ‘If I didn’t set up a trap in advance, it would be very difficult to face those two guys head-on, even if I had the strength of a starlight-tier elite! As expected of the most powerful mage and the strongest person in the Holy Dragon Kingdom, I have to show you some respect. Next, it’s time to retrieve the weapons.”

She waved her hand, and a colorful ray and a huge throne appeared from the ground and floated into her hand.

Holding the two artifacts, he shook his hair. The red hair turned into a long python and bit the ground in the Forest of Eternity. The forest immediately made a sound like a wounded beast. It squirmed and grew, revealing the World Tree. It bound Reid, Antonio, and Vivian, who was lying on the ground on the verge of death.

Then, Frigga muttered, “There’s only one place left to go..” She took the two artifacts and left the forest.
