With a mighty bellow, the Thunderous Bloodhorn dashed toward Asher. Its eyes were fixed on him, and it could already imagine lighting him up with lightning.
When Asher saw the great beast heading towards him, he wrapped the fingers of his right hand around Euodias’ hilt.
His eyes flickered.
Shing!
The moment he drew the sword out of its sheath, faint azure mist burst out of the beautiful sword, and it formed an illusory wolf head.
Without a second to breathe, the beast lunged at him. Asher kept sliding back until his back hit the metal bars of the gate he came out of.
Blood splattered on the ground while his arms trembled.
Almost instantly, he was covered in his own blood. His own rough breathing fell into his ears.
As his wounds closed up, his eyes grew brighter and brighter until a piercing, bone-chilling white took over.
Rumble!
Dark clouds gathered above Nineveh, causing people to look up. Many were shocked to see their lord was badly injured by his own weapon, but the clouds and his eyes shocked them even more.
Roar!
The Thunderous Bloodhorn roared, exposing its knife-like teeth that could easily crush human bones. Seeing this, Asher still dashed toward it.
Upon collision, Asher leaped with a great stomp, lifted his sword high above his head, and as he was about to swing down, the Thunderous Bloodhorn’s horns gathered a lightning.
Crackle! Boom!
The thunderbolt clashed with his sword, causing an outward ripple blast that also moved with a wave that caused people’s hair and clothes to flutter.
Some fluttered so hard the people thought their clothes might be ripped off.
Asher somersaulted twice and landed with the fingers of his left hand leaving a deep trail on the yellow ground.
He puffed out.
Boom! Boom!
The Thunderous Bloodhorn closed the gap with a lightning dash and swung its horn upward. Its agenda was to tear him apart with its deadly horns.
Asher rolled to his left, sprung to his feet, and placed his sword in a defensive way. Luckily, it deflected the beast’s shoulder bash.
However, the force launched him 100 yards away. By the time he stood up, he looked at the sky, and water droplets, way bigger than that of a casual rain, began to fall.
It was like a heavy downpour, but none of the audience were wet.
Splatter!
Asher stepped on the puddles as he dashed toward the Thunderous Bloodhorn. He brandished his sword, forming a mighty water blade in the process before swinging it at the beast.
Seeing the dangerous attack, the Thunderous Bloodhorn opened its mouth and spat out a tremendous lightning bolt.
The water blade and the thick lightning bolt collided, causing another blast. Water splattered everywhere.
A man burst out of the water that could be seen flying in different directions midair. His sword high above his head.
His white eyes bright and piercing. Crimson light billowed off his body. It was his Battle Force!
Swish!
A thick crimson light left Euodias along with a slight blue tint.
Seeing this, the Thunderous Bloodhorn swung its head upward, clashing head-on with the sword beam.
Boom!
Another ripple swept out. Asher saw it rush out with lightning flickering out of its nostrils.
With a wave of his left palm, a great amount of water rose up and slammed the beast 200 yards to the right.
The force made the beast’s knees weak.

Asher, standing in one spot, looked at the beast, his eyes as white as ever.
“Yes!”
Eritrea squealed as she raised both her hands. Hearing her voice, Asher turned, looked at her, and veered his eyes toward the highest floor.
Sapphira sat there with a small smile on her lips. Although she wasn’t awestruck or blatantly cheering him up, that little smile was enchanting.
All of a sudden, he noticed her expression change. This made him turn, and he saw the Thunderous Bloodhorn was back on his feet.
At this moment, Asher noticed something. Even Atticus, the spirit inside of him, was affected by Sapphira’s charms!
His thoughts went out of line for a moment, and that was all it took for the Thunderous Bloodhorn to close the gap.
Lightning came from its horns, met in-between, and then fired at him. The blast launched him to the wall.
In the next moment, the Thunderous Bloodhorn was at the wall. People gasped; some closed their eyes, awaiting the bloodshed, but Asher held one horn.
He flipped himself over the beast. Landing behind it, he swung his sword at it.
Water followed his movement, slamming the beast with so much pressure that the wall cracked!
The power of the water alone was enough to scatter all the bones in the body of a hundred gold-ranked knights!
This was what the beast took and shook its head.
Roar!
Lightning left its mouth. While Asher dashed toward the lightning blast, he swung his sword upward, and a water tide rose up.
It kept rising and growing bigger until it crushed the lightning blast and swallowed the Thunderous Bloodhorn.
To Asher’s shock, it came out of the tide unharmed. This made him frown.
“If he can’t penetrate its defenses, he’s doomed.” Jane said.
Jon frowned. “The defense of a Thunderous Bloodhorn is just too great. He’ll have to get out of the arena.”
As they were speaking, Asher prepared for another collision. He calmed himself to the max, and when the beast came, he clashed with its horn.
His strikes were fast, but the Bloodhorn proved it could tank all his attacks.
All of a sudden, after the flurry of attacks, Asher saw red lines connecting to his blade.
His lips curled upward.
‘Finally!’
Blood Awakening!
Bam!
He took the opportunity to swing down in that area, and one horn dropped!
Maddened with fury, lightning burst out of the Bloodhorn’s body, spreading so far that it was about to make contact with the audience, but Sapphira conjured a barrier.
Her eyes narrowed as she saw the level of lightning the Bloodhorn was letting out.
“This…! Not even a saint-ranked knight will survive this. Get his Lordship out!”
Flameheart rose to his feet.
