Clang!

Clang!

"I will never be defeated by this you." Saying that Lawson threw a giant heavy Axe at Adam. Just like Adam's greatsword, the Giant black Axe weighed tons and Lawson had no problem using this heavy weapon on a battlefield.

Adam knew that even if he stopped the attack with his greatsword, he would be injured from the impact so he moved to the right and chose to dodge the attack.

"The Adam of the past isn't the type to back down from a fight." Saying that Lawson pulled his black Axe towards him. There was a thin almost-invisible chain attached to the handle of the Axe. The other end of the chain was wrapped around Lawson's left arm. Grabbing the chain, he pulled his Axe back.

"Time changes people. I have changed as well. I would have been happy if you also had changed yourself. But look at you. You still look the same. Your personality is still the same. You haven't changed a bit."

Lawson started rotating the giant Axe using the chain that is attached at the end of the handle. While rotating the giant Axe, he coldly looked at Adam and replied. "I don't need to change. If my change is going to make me weak like it did to you, then I would rather stay the same my whole life."

Lawson always has lived the life of a Warrior. It's not that he didn't want to change. It's just that, a Warrior who has lived his whole life with the purpose of getting stronger and dominating his opponents has never known or has thought of life beyond fighting and training. Lawson thinks that if he changes his lifestyle, then he will become weak just like Adam.

Lawson doesn't know the happiness that Adam has found after changing his life. The happiness and the peace that he discovered. Lawson views Adam's current life as worthless. He thinks that giving in pleasure and enjoyment makes a man weak.

Lawson released the Axe toward Adam. The giant black Axe flew toward Adam at a very fast pace. Adam was somewhat able to dodge the Axe in time but the two soldiers who were fighting behind him weren't so lucky. The black Axe hit their bodies.

Bang!

The next second both of their bodies were crushed. They turned into human meatballs. Their heads exploded like water balloons and their bodies turned into meat paste.

The ones who saw this trembled in fear. Even the soldiers on Lawson's side stepped away from him fearing that his Axe might fly at them next.

Seeing that he had missed, Lawson was pissed. He pulled his Axe back. As the Axe returned to Lawson's hand, he found a shadow above his head. Just as he looked up, he saw Adam's greatsword descending towards him with the intention of cutting him in half.

"That's not enough, Mr. Adam. I can't feel your intent to kill me. The previous you would have been overflowing with killing intent." Saying that Lawson put his left arm above his head. The chains that were wrapped around his left arm blocked the attack. Lawson felt his left arm becoming numb from the impact. He was sure that some areas of his arm had cracked from the impact. But he did not show any pained expression on his face. This kind of pain is nothing.

As Lawson calmly blocked the attack, from his right side, a shadow appeared in his vision. Before he could react or do anything, the shadow punched the right side of his face and sent him flying.

Before Lawson could land on the ground, Adam grabbed the chain that was attached to his Axe and pulled Lawson towards him.

Lawson felt his body being pulled before he could react, Adam kicked him in the gut and sent him flying with greater force.

Bang!

If not for the Axe connecting to Lawson through the chain, he would have been sent flying to the other side of the battlefield. Lawson crushed and landed 10 meters away on the ground.

Ah.....!!!

He coughed out a mouthful of blood. As Lawson stood up, his eyes searched for Adam but couldn't find Adam anywhere.

"Looking for me...." Hearing this Lawson's entire body froze in fear as Adam's cold voice reached his left ear. Before Lawson could react, Adam vertically swung his greatsword to kill Lawson.

Just as the Greatsword was about to cut Lawson in half and end his life, a skeleton body appeared in front of Lawson and took the hit in Lawson's place.

Bang!

Seeing this, Adam wasn't pleased. "Who is it?" Adam asked while moving back.

"Sir Adam, my apologies for interfering in your battle. Please understand that I can have you end our commander's life." Adam turned to his right to find a woman whose entire body was covered under a black cloak and a black hood. Because of the hood, Adam couldn't see her full face.

There are hundreds of undeads and zombies around the woman. Her Aura was dark and sinister. She held a skeleton staff in her right hand. Adam can tell that his woman had white pale skin but he couldn't tell if this woman was human or if she belonged to some other race.

Meanwhile, Lawson had recovered and was ready for round 2 with Adam. Though he didn't like the fact that someone intervened in their battle. Lawson hated it when someone inferred in his fight. Because she had saved his life by intervening, Lawson let it slide but he wouldn't tolerate it if she tried to fight Adam in his place or if she interfered again.

"Adam, it's time for round 2." Lawson cracked his neck while grinning at Adam.

Adam faced Lawson while keeping his eyes on the Necromancer that managed to appear on his right without him noticing. He had to be wary of both. Adam can tell that this Necromancer was almost powerful as him.

Meanwhile, the female Necromancer slowly began to retreat from Adam and focus on killing the enemy soldiers using her undeads and using some dark spells. Seeing this Adam inwardly sighed in relief. Fighting Lawson was already too much for him. If he was forced to fight this Necromancer at the same time, then he definitely would die here.

Lawson charged at Adam. Just when he was a meter away from Adam, both of his fists began to glow. Adam can tell that he was concentrating his Mana on his two fists.

Beast Technique Number 8 - Flaming Fist!

The next second, both of Lawson's fists were covered in flames. The flame didn't seem to affect Lawson.

"Take this." Lawson punched Adam.

Adam crossed his arms on his chest and took his right fist which was covered in flame.

Bang!!!

The Onard Family's head was pushed back while the skin on his arms was slightly burned.

'Damn, that hurts.' Adam shook his hands while keeping his eyes on Lawson. He can tell that Lawson was getting serious with each passing second.

'It feels as if I have returned back in time.' Around two decades ago, Lawson fought Adam using the same technique. Nothing has changed over the years.

Beast Technique Number 7 - Flawless Titan!

An illusionary image of a black Titan figure appeared behind Lawson's body. The titan was 15 meters giant tall. Its entire body was black. It had sharp teeth and wolf claws. Its red eyes were glowing.

'Flawless Titan...? That's new. He never used this when we fought back then.' Adam became cautious seeing Lawson's entire body glowing. At the same time, he felt his Aura rapidly growing stronger.

"Good job, Ruby." The Necromancer that replied to save Lawson was called Ruby.

Amidst all the chaos on the battlefield, Ruby and the man beside her were comfortable enough to stand and have small conversations. It was as if they did not care about the enemy soldiers. Their mind was totally worry-free. It was because their undeads were doing all the same work. The undeads were eliminating the soldiers.

Whenever the number of the undeads would start decreasing, Ruby and other fellow Necromancers would just turn the dead soldiers who were lying around the battlefield into undeads. Thus, continuing this vicious cycle. It's not like Ruby and other Necromancers can keep doing this forever. The process consumed a huge amount of Mana. And since the battle had just started, neither of them had to worry about running out of Mana.

Just like Ruby, every other Necromancer on this battlefield were wearing a black cloak that covered their entire bodies and covered their faces under a hood. No one on Lawson's side knew what Ruby and other Necromancers looked like. The soldiers feared the Necromancers and kept a distance from them. The Necromancers also were not that good at socializing so they also keep a distance from others in the military.

"Xavi, are you done with your task?" Ruby asked while observing Lawson and Adam. Before this fight, Lawson had long warned them to not get in his way. This was his fight and his fight alone. No one had any problem with Lawson fighting Adam. It's not like no one on the Mystic Spring Empire's side had the courage or the strength to go against Lawson.

"Unfortunately, no I am not done. Eddie is proving to be much more powerful than I had initially thought. I would need your assistance to eliminate him." Before coming here, Lawson had assigned Xavi, who was another powerful Necromancer to kill Adam's right-hand man, Eddie Wood. But Eddie is proving to be far more powerful than Lawson and others had expected.

Ruby glanced in Eddie's direction only to find him easily destroying Xavi's undeads. "Do you need any help?" Ruby knew that Xavi wouldn't approach her unless he needed some help. He wasn't the type to make small conversations.

Necromancers in particular did not like social interactions. They preferred to live in a quiet place and work quietly. Some Necromancers would only speak when absolutely necessary.

Sigh!

"Please help me out this time." Xavi felt ashamed to ask for Ruby's help. Even though both of them knew each other and have worked together in the past, Xavi felt very ashamed to ask for Ruby's help as Ruby was supposed to be his junior. Yet she is talented enough to become strong as him in such a short time.

"You know I have helped you twice in this month. When are you going to pay me back?" In the Necromancer community, no one would help each other for free. Naturally, Xavi has to offer something in return for getting help.

Sigh!

"What do you want?" Xavi asked while looking back. Eddie nearly had destroyed all of his undeads. Seeing this, his heart was in pain. It would him years to cultivate these undeads. Years of his hard work were being cut like cabbage.

"Last me you promised to give me 100 mana stones. This time, I want you to give me one of your strongest dark spells."

"What? That's too much." Xavi was very unwilling to give something this valuable to Ruby.

Unlike Aditya who had a system to upgrade his skills rank each time he reached a new order, the cultivators of this world have to work hard to find and learn high-order skills. Especially Necromancer like Ruby and Xavi has to work extra hard as they have no backing. They didn't have access to a library from where they can just learn whatever skill they wished to learn. Instead, they had to earn enough merit points to get high-order skills from the Empire.

"Then Forget it. I am sure you will find some way to defeat Eddie. I am going over there." Ruby pretended to walk away.

Xavi gritted his teeth for a moment before stopping Ruby. "Wait. I agree. I will give you my 4th-order Dark Mist skill book if you agree to help me."

"Done." Ruby was excited to learn this skill. The skill that she knew was a 3rd-order Dark Mist skill. She has been wanting to upgrade her Dark Mist skill to 4th-order for a while now.

"Let's end this quickly. I want to go back and create more undeads." Ruby had a habit of spending most of her time creating powerful undeads. Most of the time, she would be at the graveyard trying to summon strong undeads.

Really Thank you very much to all those who sends support with valuable golden tickets. I hope we can keep it up!!!
