King's Rule: Creating the Strongest Kingdom With My Broken Talent-Chapter 36: Two Round Clash Beings
"In that case, let’s decide it based on two aspects." King Aurora cracked his knuckles. "First, individual power. You and I will fight. The condition to win is to sever either one leg or one arm of your opponent first, or to make your opponent unconscious."
King Aurora narrowed his eyes. "But since we will not be holding back, things could get nasty."
Vesh dismissively waved his hand, his voice carefree. "No problem. I assure you, you will be safe and sound by the end. You may go all out with the intent to kill me if that makes you stronger."
[Crown Prince Hugo: This person is very arrogant. Did anyone figure out what life rank he is, Miss Mirina?]
[Librarian Mirina: I’ve been trying with both scanning skills while tweaking them, but his armor is impenetrable to my spirits and waves, no matter how subtle and penetrative I try to make them to get a reaction out of him and get a sense of his aura. It just doesn’t work. But the armor itself is quite powerful. It has A-rank magic energy coursing through it constantly, and quite potent at that, more than King Aurora’s potency, I might add. It’s fundamentally a completely different type of armor, from the material to the method used to craft it. It’s... very advanced.]
[Commander: So it’s more advanced than ours. Our prized ship can annihilate at least five Stem-rank powerhouses with our formation, but if they have big weaponry as well, it might be more dangerous than ours.]
He promptly relayed the information to King Aurora.
King Aurora was also taking his time and didn’t rush to speak of the second competition. The information came timely, and he began speaking.
"The second competition is as simple as well. To let five of our subjects fight each other. In the case of a tie... we can think of something when that happens."
Vesh chuckled and nodded without hesitation. "Alright."
Suddenly, everyone looked up collectively as an unbridled aura descended rapidly.
A giant with six arms, his entire body covered in evenly colored metallic vermilion and demonic light blue neon, embodying hell with its molten tendril patterns that intertwined chaotically.
They pulsed with a certain rhythm as his six wide arms were spread while he fell on his belly.
But right before he was ten meters off the platform, a large pair of metallic wings manifested as he turned to a standing position and landed on the platform without making a sound.
SWOOOSH!
Except for the burst of wind that he dragged with him, which spread in all directions.
Naturally, no one was pushed back.
Vesh glanced at Dan, and a smirk formed behind the helmet.
[Vesh: Dan, sit down with the others. There will be a fight later.]
Current combat power of Demon Yeolodan.
23,489,490.
Stronger than the King.
This confirmed one thing to Vesh.
King Aurora might not have any SSS-rank talent, as his Combat Power was lower despite being a Stem-rank.
Yeolodan had 6 million combat power as a Root-rank powerhouse, but with his custom-made armor, it reached 23 million. Higher than King Aurora.
But Vesh knew that combat power was just a number, and it could change with stuff like wearing armor or using some kind of items. Moreover, a real battle had way more variables.
"So where are we going to fight?" King Aurora looked around. "If we fight here, this city will be destroyed."
Vesh chuckled. "My city will not fall even if you use up all of your ships’ power on it."
ZZHMMMMM!
A strange vibration spread, and a gigantic barrier covering the city flickered into visibility.
[Scarlet: What the fuck?]
[Commander: That’s a huge amount of energy.]
[Librarian Mirina: It’s that same highly potent A-rank magic energy... but the amount is insane. This can’t be possible unless he tapped into an A-rank Magic Vein.]
"Is that the power of the A-rank Magic Vein you found?" King Aurora clicked his tongue, showing visible envy. "The first A-rank Magic Vein of this sideland... I want to have it."
Arga and the gang looked at each other.
[Rovina: What will happen if he finds out that our lord can make an A-rank Magic Vein out of thin air?]
[Kayan: I want to laugh, but I can’t do that here.]
[Dan: Don’t know what’s going on, but I know our lord is powerful! He beat me to a pulp within seconds, so that’s enough for me to follow him.]
[Viana: But I wonder if we can win against their Stem-rank powerhouses...]
[Arga: Yeah, that might be a bit difficult, but our lord should have a plan.]
"Our fight will be the first spectacle for this city." Vesh waved his hand. "AI Ananta, activate the holograms and dispatch the Abyss Eyes to focus on our battle."
Abyss Eyes was basically an advanced camera system made up of a particular material he designed to capture all visuals and sound.
He named it Abyss Eyes because he wanted to advance it further as he got stronger, and give it the power to even see the depths of the Abyss.
The AI was not that advanced. For now, it was connected to his own mind, which was why it was easy for it to execute tasks according to the magic formations responsible for certain things like creating a certain number of Abyss Eyes from the material in storage and dispatching them by following Vesh’s senses, then feeding it live into all the holograms that activated in the city.
The public was surprised, but quickly adapted.
The city was spacious for everyone, with sitting arrangements and gardens in public areas.
There was no pressure of work because food was free, but there was a competitive aspect to earn contributions, so those who wanted to rise could work harder.
For now, there was no crime. But that didn’t mean there were no criminals in the city.
Vesh knew there were, but he didn’t have the means to weed them out. They were hidden, but his Abyss Eyes were watching everything and everyone in the city, and 1000 people on payroll in the tower were constantly monitoring the feed through a thousand screens.
"Quite fancy." King Aurora commented as he looked at thousands of small holograms and hundreds of big holograms showing both of them. "You really are arrogant, I must say. You’ve already determined you’ll win and didn’t consider the possibility of losing at all."
"Everyone can hear us now, by the way." Vesh smiled behind the mask. "Now then, let’s head further up into the sky and start our fight."
"And I thought it was only I who was itching for a fight." King Aurora grinned.
A golden-purple aura exploded outward before a large triangular wing of prisms manifested behind him with colorful sparks bursting out as his body turned into particles and vanished.
Vesh looked up. ’He has Light Mastery. But other than that, it’s his other talents. Not elemental, but exotically elemental. Like Heartblaze Tattoos of Dan and Night Reign of Kaeli.’
His eyes couldn’t help but light up in anticipation.
He wanted to fight strong people.
Vesh vanished and appeared three kilometers above, on the same level as King Aurora, who now had golden rings around his wrists and ankles, along with full-body armor covering him.
"Now this is a perfect venue for a rampant fight." King Aurora snapped his finger as two large spinning golden disks with glassy prism edges formed above him.
Vesh’s grin widened.
Current combat power of King Aurora.
29,483,200.
