Chapter 1445 Glitch
*Clink!*
*Clink!*
*Clink!*
A series of clashing sword sounds echoed in the area.
After the Dark King destroyed Theo's Covenant Seal, Theo was suppressed by the Dark King. The fact he was losing his only way to harvest Order energy meant he had trouble keeping up with the Dark King.
After all, the same as Magic Power, after reaching Mythical Rank, he could use the energy from Covenant Seal to supply energy to his attack. But now, that way had gone and Theo had a hard time placing another Covenant Seal since the Dark King would destroy it too.
At the same time, he had been moving away from the Dark King's seal, only to find the Dark King never cared about this seal in the first place. In his eyes, stopping Theo from utilizing the seal was more important than using his own seal.
And with his superior prowess, he started getting the upper hand in the fight.
"What's wrong? You can't do anything without using the Covenant Seal?" The Dark King smirked.
"Not at all. I'm currently thinking."
"Thinking? To think you have the leeway to think in this battle. It seems that I have been holding back too."
"Hahaha, you think so? But don't worry… I now understand what those people mean by turning this normal weapon into a true artifact that only we can use." Theo smirked.
"!!!" The Dark King suddenly understood what Theo planned to do. He had utilized it this whole time after all. "So, you have been fighting me without that one? Now that I think about it, your weapon doesn't seem to be emitting anything. Now I know why you're this weak."
"Haha, compared to a hundred years old monster, I'm simply a baby." Theo snorted as he placed his Covenant Seal on his weapon.
This was what the Goddess of Death had talked about when teaching him about Order. Just like the Death Armor or the Death Crown he had encountered in the past, if he infused his Covenant Seal to influence the item for a while, the item would become one of the sources of energy. This was why it was important to have a personal artifact.
"Still, it won't really improve your combat ability right now if you haven't infused it with your energy for a while. After all, it takes time."
"Yeah, it seems that I have been too complacent lately. Maybe it's because everything went well and my combat prowess was like the monsters who could definitely defeat a human at the same level."
"Are you bragging?"
"Not at all. It's because of this reason that I have been too complacent. I should have prepared for this…" Theo smirked.
"Haha, aren't you just making an excuse for your loss?" The Dark King laughed.
"You're definitely right. This is just an excuse, so…" Theo suddenly struck the Dark King's sword before sliding his sword on his blade while spinning his body, allowing him to cut the Dark King's body.
The Dark King managed to avoid it with a graze on his waist, but Theo wasn't in good condition either because that clash left a deep cut on his lower left arm.
"You're serious?" The Dark King widened his eyes in shock.
"Yeah. Our place is now reversed. I don't mind having mutual destruction."
"You're crazy." The Dark King smirked. "Fine by me. It's more exciting that way."
Both of them raised their swords and planned to have this fight that would injure both of them. There was no need for defense anymore as they focused all their strength on attacks, trying to wound their opponent as much as they could.
They both were soon covered in wounds, yet, their smiles never faded away as if they had gone crazy.
Despite fighting this hard, they were actually enjoying the fight. It wasn't every day they could meet an opponent like this after all. Even if they met another King Class Monster, they might not dare to allow themselves to be covered with wounds since their lives would be in danger after that fight.
"Hu…" The Dark King let out a long breath after gaining some distance. It was truly a good fight between two friends. He looked at Theo, who seemed to be in a worse condition than him.
"This is truly a good fight. I declare that you're going to be my brother from now on. If your people come to my territory, I'll make sure to take care of them." The Dark King declared out loud.
This was his final recognition of Theo's strength. Of course, the Dark King wasn't shrewd enough to think about making a connection like this when Theo was still weaker than him. He simply recognized Theo's strength and actions.
Theo also understood that reason and said, "Haha, I'm going to rely on you in the future. But I think our fight is going to come to an end soon."
"You are right. Although we still have stamina and Magic Power, our body won't be able to keep up." The Dark King nodded with a serious expression.
"Yeah. Though, I have promised someone that I won't lose against anyone else. So…" Theo smirked as his body somehow started glitching.
"Huh?" The Dark King didn't understand this situation. Theo never used this ability. But he soon noticed the change in Theo's body. The wounds he inflicted earlier started to disappear one by one as if they never existed to begin with.
"What?" The Dark King dropped his jaw to the ground because all the wounds had truly disappeared.
"Are you sure the one fighting you this whole time is real? Maybe the fight itself is an illusion. Thankfully, I can give you a good time, brother." Theo smirked as he walked forward without a single wound on his body. Even his clothes recovered as if he had turned back time.
"Have I been in an illusion this whole time?" The Dark King widened his eyes in shock. "What the…"
