SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

Chapter 62 I am King of Baynard

Brrgh! The huge twenty meters tall arms are rapidly moving forward.

The Baynard soldiers are petrified.

Edgar saw the incoming huge arms. He takes a horizontal slash stance, and threads of white aura rotate on his sword. The sword has the size of a king's sword, but the blade, hilt, and handle are all white. The blow of the wind suddenly increases around him, making his cape and hair sway. Edgar swings the sword toward the huge arms.

SPLITTING SKY

Nearly twenty-five meters of white aura blade flew and instantly appeared in front of the three giant earthen arms.

Crunch! The three giant arms are cut in the middle. Brrgh! The upper part of the giant arms separated, then fell to the ground.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The ground is crushed, and large dust forms where the giant arms fell. The lower part of the giant arms started to crumble.

Bartos face does not look good when he saw the giant arms were cut.

"A young fourth-level aura master, I thought he did not have much power since he is young, even if he reaches that stage, but my judgment is wrong. The boy must be killed!" Bartos eyes suddenly filled with huge killing intent as he releases more of his golden aura.

Bartos dashes to Edgar.

KING'S FIELD

Eighteen meters in front of Bartos, the earth suddenly turned softer.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Many arms suddenly rise from Bartos field and move rapidly to Edgar.

KING'S FIELD

Woosh! A fire field appears around Edgar as the center. Many flame swords rise and attacked the huge arms.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The arms and flame swords keep exploding. The debris keep falling and crashing to the ground. Thick dust is forming that even reaches near Edgar.

Woosh! Bartos suddenly came out of the thick dust and appeared above Edgar. His right arm is clad in a huge golden aura arm.

FIST OF DESTRUCTION

BANG! A huge explosion appeared. There is a huge crater on the ground where Bartos hit his golden arm. The crater is as large as thirty meters. Large pieces of rock and soil flew into the air.

Edgar escaped by pushing himself back with fire pillar.

He is in a horizontal slash stance as he stands on top of tje fire pillar.

Threads of white aura are rotating around his sword, then he slashed it to Bartos.

SPLITTING SKY

The huge white aura blade rapidly move to Bartos.

Bang! Bartos blocked the attack with his huge golden arm.

Boom! The pressure crushes the ground beneath Bartos.

Boom! The ground keeps crushing under the pressure.

Bartos put more aura on his left fist, then struck it at the aura blade.

FLAME METEOR

Woo! Woo! Flame meteors are falling down to Bartos.

Bang! The white aura blade is crushed by Barto's powerful punch. The flame meteors are already near the ground.

KING'S FIELD

Earthen fists flew and blocked the flame meteors.

Bang! Bang! They are exploding in the air, and more dust has formed around Bartos.

Edgar is in a slashing stance outside the crater, closer to the enemy than when he was in the air.

SPLITTING SKY

The huge aura blade flew and hit where Bartos was standing.

Woosh! Edgar's face changed as Bartos appeared above him. The marshal is really fast. Edgar's sense is slower than the Marshal's speed.

Bartos is raising both his hands over his head. Both his arms are clad with five meters of golden aura arms. He smashed the giant arms to Edgar.

GIANT SMASH

BANG! There was a very loud explosion, and a huge crater appeared on the ground. Larger pieces of debris are flying.

Psssh! Water suddenly rises from the crater as it reaches too deep.

Bang! Edgar's back hit debris, and he is still being pushed back. He was able to move and avoid the direct hit, but he was pushed by the strong shock wave. He moves his knee and body closer and allows his body to rotate in the air. After rotating in the air a few times, he landed his feet on debris flying in the air, then he jumped to his back.

Flop! Edgar landed on the ground, but a crisis is waiting for him there. Bartos is on his right side. Bartos's right fist is covered by a golden ball made up of golden aura. Threads of golden aura are still rotating and gathering on it, but Bartos seems to be ready to strike. Edgar has no time to dodge and execute a powerful attack.

Bartos punched his powerful fist.

FIST OF ANNIHILATION

CLANG! Edgar slashed his sword at the golden fist, which had not fully stretched forward and reached its full power. The sword stopped the movement of the golden fist, but the golden beam still continues to move forward.

Oom! The golden beam is cut in the middle. The soil on both sides of Edgar is annihilated. Deep gullies appeared on both sides of Edgar. The soil where Edgar stands and behind him is spared.

An army approaches the battleground of Edgar and Bartos. The army is led by Marshal Frey and the vice marshal. Bartos felt the approaching army of 3rd peak-level aura masters. He is currently alone. Once more peak levels arrive, it will be just as disadvantageous to him. He fiercely stares at Edgar. There will still be a chance in the future, and it won't be long.

"Boy! Wash your neck! The next time I see you, I will rip your head off!"

Bang! Bartos jumped away after giving his warning to Edgar.

The army arrived. Marshal Frey and the others are shocked by the aftermath caused by the fight between Edgar and Bartos.

All the soldiers dismounted their steeds and paid respect to their king. The marshal and vice marshal approached Edgar.

"Your Majesty! We were patrolling the area when we heard the battle. I didn't expect that the Marshal of the Empire would attack himself," said Marshal Frey.

Edgar nodded and said, "I was also not sure if he would attack, but if I am at their emperor's feet, I will mobilize a 4th level aura master who has no equal in Baynard. It will take time to gather their army, but a single aura master could slip and cause devastation to our army. Our morale could have been dampened if they succeeded, but too bad, I am also a 4th level aura master."

The surrounding army is shocked when they heard Edgar. Their king has reached the fourth level! Great!!! They felt very excited.

Marshal Frey smiles as he looks at the excited faces of the army. He was also very shocked when he knew that their king had reached that stage quickly. It was just a few years ago when their king asked him how to reach the fourth stage. It did not even cross his mind that their king would actually reach that stage much faster than him.

Marshal Frey had a sparring session with Edgar. Edgar completely suppressed him. The fourth level has much higher endurance because they can even mobilize the aura in the air to fill the aura with their attack. Their aura attacks no longer only come from their own bodies. The aura that clads their body will no longer be red. The color is affected by their concept. It is difficult to form a magic circle within the circumference of an opponent's king's field. Sneak attacks like what Edgar did on Rayga will not work against an opponent with king's field, but the closer the element, the stronger the control, so aura masters with king's field can still easily cast magic skills around them when king's field is partially activated.

Edgar did not mobilize the aura in the air during his fight with Rayga and Maneki because there were prying eyes around them. Once the empire knows that he has reached the fourth level, they will send not just Bartos but a few third-peak levels with an embryonic form of concept. By the time Bartos returns and informs the empire that he has reached the fourth level, the defense set up by Baynard will be complete. It will be difficult for powerful aura masters to sneak into Baynard's territory. It was Edgar's plan, so he endured getting injured in his fight with two 3rd peak levels to buy time for the kingdom.

The Marshal and Vice Marshal have astonished faces as they look at the destruction caused by the previous fight.

"Fourth level is really powerful," said the Vice Marshal.

Edgar smiled when he heard it. He looked at the aftermath of his fight with Bartos and said something that blew the minds of the Marshal and Vice Marshal.

"It is not the true power of concept."
