Age of Adepts

Chapter 1044 The Clash of the Two

Regardless of how complicated the situation was on the outside, there was only bitter fighting on the battlefield.

That said, the one doing the bitter fighting was Scarface Gallow alone. Greem was as leisurely as he could be.

He stood above the mountain of corpses with fearsome poison zombies swarming all around him. The zombies might not be all that powerful, but their endless tide kept Scarface Gallow trapped in place. Even taking a step outwards was incredibly difficult.

He answered the ceaseless charge of the zombies with merciless butchering and wild slaughter!

One wave of zombies would rush forward, and in the next instant they would be gone, their bodies rolling down the corpse mountain amidst even more growls and waves of sword auras. Their tattered remains became a part of the corpse mountain, causing it to grow further in height and width.

Gallow was still as ferocious and mighty as when he had started, even after slaughtering nearly 600,000 poison zombies. Every punch, kick, slash, and roar brought devastating damage to the poison zombies around him.

Gallow was a bloodline adept, after all. His vicious power and tremendous Physique were all a blessing from his bloodline. He did not cultivate his body and strength the way body-refining adepts did. As such, while body-refining adepts desired endless stamina above all things, bloodline adepts desired unlimited bloodline power.

Of course, this wasn’t saying that the Holy Ring was of inferior quality. Rather, Sodden’s Holy Ring was completely forged in accordance with the strengths and attributes of a holy knight. Naturally, in the hands of a fire adept like Greem, the Holy Ring could not obtain sufficient nourishment of holy light power. In the hands of an incompatible owner, it did not have a chance to continue growing.

Gallow looked at the flame giant standing thirty meters away from him. A stiff smile finally appeared on his stitched face.

“Good…very good. For the first time, you have won my respect! Regardless of the results of today’s battle, I will acknowledge you as a friend, just for this courage of yours!”

Gallow’s figure trembled. Incomparably violent force swept through his whole body like a halo of light. The blood and minced meat covering his body were shaken off by force, diced into a fine mist of blood and blown away into the distance.

In that one instant, when the blood mist obscured both of their visions, Gallow stomped against the ground with two feet. A pungent wave of blood several dozen meters tall rose into the air. His body charged towards Greem at breakneck speed from the counter-force.

The strange magical sword let out an unprecedentedly massive sword halo that quickly wrapped around Greem’s body of flames.

“Die for me!”

An earthshaking battlecry rang out as the black blade of light devoured all of the flames.

The adepts crowded in front of the screens couldn’t help but become nervous at this sight. In particular, the Crimson adepts, led by Mary and the two other girls, clasped their hands in anxiety. Their faces flushed red, and their eyes opened wide as if they could hardly breathe from the anticipation.

The legendary fire adept couldn’t have been killed by a single strike in one moment of carelessness, could he?

While everyone held their breath and waited, a wild pillar of fire rose into the sky, and Greem’s familiar body of flames appeared once again.
