For an instant, Zayn sensed a danger like nothing he had ever felt before!Ezra’s slap was overpowered. Had he not dodged it, he would certainly have been badly wounded, and in this fight, the outcome of such an injury was death!The slightest mistake made when battling a highly skilled fighter like Ezra would be fatal. Zayn felt his heart beat strongly with a loud thump. All the blood in his body was surging a few times faster than before. Every inch of his skin turned red as he shouted, “Hai-ya!”He opened his mouth and let out a mighty lion’s roar, the monstrous soundwave radiating all around.If an ordinary person had been in Ezra’s place, Zayn’s roar would have blasted them away. Their eardrums would have burst, their skin would have split, every orifice would have bled, and even their internal organs would have ruptured!Even a master fighter would not have been able to withstand Zayn’s roar. Anyone at Tier-3 or below would have been stunned long enough for him to land
“Uppercut Slap!” Zayn shouted. His aura was so powerful that it could penetrate the clouds. The sky was echoing with loud, rumbling noises, as if his voice had startled the gods up in heaven. Zayn had countered with Ezra’s trump card. At that moment, green veins bulged on his right arm. His arm, flushed from his boiling blood, instantly turned green-black. The ferocious green veins on his arms looked like centipedes!It was the same move. The Uppercut Slap was filled with explosive power and seemed to be even more terrifying than when Ezra used it earlier.“That’s impossible!” Ezra's eyes widened in surprise upon witnessing the scene. He was astounded and lost his composure like never before. His face was ghastly pale and he felt a shiver down his spine. His chest wrenched tightly from the fright, and he could sense an unfathomable danger approaching.It was beyond an approaching danger! It was the coming of death!If the Uppercut Slap were to hit him, he was certain his skull wo
Ezra heaved a sigh of relief but felt no joy. He had been defeated and utterly at that.Zayn said to him, “You’ve lost.”“Yes, I’ve lost.” Ezra lowered his head and there was no telling how he was feeling. After that, Zayn paid him no more attention. Instead, he looked toward Lysithea standing below the mountain and cracked a bright smile at her. Lysithea was stunned. It took her close to five seconds before she recovered from the surprise. Huge drops of tears rolled down from her eyes. Her body then went limp and she lost consciousness. Her physical condition was already close to the limits of its endurance, and she had only held on with great effort. When she could finally relax, she fainted at once.Zayn’s expression changed drastically. He got down from the mountain at full speed to catch Lysithea in his arms. He checked her pulse and found that she was still breathing. He felt a little relieved to know she was alive. The rest of the crowd gawked at him in respect and sh
Zayn was unaware of his mother’s complaint. Given his intelligence, he would certainly have been able to sort through the clues if he had known.In truth, Zayn wanted to meet Saint Caelum for a while, especially after the incident on Mount Roi. Paxton ‘Ares’ Brookes had lost to Caelum in a fight that day, so Zayn felt that The Saint could very well be the most powerful person on Earth.In his final message to him, Caelum claimed he would be watching him at all times and wished him luck. He could hear wisps of affection in Caelum’s tone which made him feel even more curious. The words that The Saint had said to him that day were a major reason for why he had the courage to come to Sicut In Caelo’s headquarters. It gave him the sense that The Saint would not kill him so easily. As the bastard of the previous Saintess, Hayley, his presence was supposed to be a disgrace to The Saint even before he beat Raiden, the former Southern Highlord, to death. There was also the incident with D
Zayn was waiting for Caelum to continue talking, but the man said nothing more. All at once, the palace sank into absolute silence. The palace was so large that Zayn could not help feeling his mind wavering nervously. After a while, The Saint finally said, “Do you want to be an invincibilis fighter?”Huh?Upon hearing that, Zayn was rather astounded. He did not expect that the first question from Caelum would be that. What was Caelum intending? Was he trying to sound out his wild ambitions or did Caelum plan on cultivating him? Could it be some sort of trap?All sorts of ideas emerged in Zayn’s mind. He was not inherently suspicious, but in the presence of Saint Caelum, he realized what it meant to be in the company of a dangerous man.Noticing that Zayn did not have the courage to answer for a long time, The Saint posed another question, “Are you scared of me?”Choosing not to deny it, Zayn nodded and said, “Your Majesty, I am indeed scared of you. Actually, rather than say t
The biggest difference between an invincibilis fighter and a master fighter was in their life spans. It allowed a person to live indefinitely…The first thing that came into Zayn’s mind were the words ‘body swap’!It was because he knew that there was a limit to a human being’s life span, and it was just a part of nature’s law. No matter how well a human preserved themself, they could not fight against time. A living being needed to eat and metabolize. Cells would age eventually, and the body would gradually lose its ability to function.For all his martial arts prowess, Zayn could still feel that his body was aging every day. Theoretically, his life span could stretch to two centuries, but that was his limit! Even so, The Saint claimed that an invincibilis fighter was immortal. What could that mean?Zayn could not think of another reason for being summoned other than to be used in a body swap with The Saint!The only immortal creature known on Earth was the jellyfish, and even
The Saint paused for a moment before saying, “Zayn, come closer so I can have a good look at you.”Zayn had relaxed for a moment, but upon hearing The Saint’s request, he became uncontrollably tense once again. Up till then, he still had yet to see The Saint nor sense his presence. The entire time, he had been speaking to the empty air. The Saint was beckoning him closer when there was nothing to be seen in front of him?Could The Saint have already projected his consciousness and it was right there at that moment?Zayn was restless. Though The Saint had claimed he was not planning to swap bodies with him, he would not let his guard down. “Your Majesty, I don’t understand what you mean.” Zayn did not step forward. The Saint did not answer, and the enormous palace sank into silence once again. A minute later, The Saint spoke once again. “Zayn, you look a lot like my grandson. I have not been in touch with him for a long time. I miss him very much.”Upon hearing that, Zayn fe
It was Zayn’s first time taking his mother to meet his wife. He called up Faye in advance, and she panicked at once when she heard the news. Zayn could even hear the sound of her breaking something when he called. “Huh? My mother-in-law is out? Why is it happening so suddenly? I haven’t prepared anything yet… Oh god, what should I do?” Faye said anxiously.Faye felt rather relieved when she heard Zayn’s voice on the phone because it meant that he was safe. However, she could not help feeling frantic when she found out that Zayn’s mother was coming to meet her soon afterward. She had already been married to Zayn for so many years, but she had never met her mother-in-law. Naturally, she was nervous. Moreover, she heard from Zayn that her mother-in-law was the former Saintess in Sicut In Caelo and had a prestigious and respectable status. It would be strange for her not to feel uneasy. Zayn chuckled and said, “Don’t worry. My mom is very easygoing and she only wants to meet you i
