Chapter 603: Antonio and Vivian
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
That happened half a day after Frigga subdued the Dark Dragon King and before Watson left the fortress city with Delta and Nia.
“Antonio, I smell a strong scent of blood and burning in the air. Something terrible seems to have happened. Are you sure you don’t want to tell Watson about us coming to the Forest of Eternity?”
Reid pushed the thick bushes away with his hand, twitched his nose, and frowned.
“Reid, you’re so long-winded. I’m more than 400 years old, but I’m not as long-winded as you. I will tell Watson if I run into trouble that I can’t solve. As the Sword Saint, you used to be confident in solving any problems, but now you’re so reluctant. Are you afraid? If you’re afraid, go home. I’ll go by myself.” Antonio sneered, and colorful lines appeared around him. Those lines contained the power of different magical sources, easily cutting through the bushes.
Reid snorted, “Me? Afraid? Antonio, are you kidding? My weapon is the Throne of Commandment, which is stronger than your weapon. I’m also stronger than you. I’m asking if you want to tell Watson that you’re afraid of dragging me back. After all, I don’t have the time to care about you if you’re really in danger.”
“You think so? If you are in danger, I will not help you.”
Antonio did not want to be outdone. On the surface, the two of them were bickering, but their eyes were erratic as they watched everything around them. They were extremely nervous.
“There seems to be movement ahead.”
Suddenly, Reid said Antonio noticed something and rushed forward. The Fusion Thread of the Dual God cut a few charred trees in front of him into pieces. Then, a flat ground was revealed, and a girl was tied up in shackles by a dried well. Her eyes were full of worry.
“Vivian!”
Antonio’s face was full of excitement. He wanted to rush forward.
“Be careful!”
At that moment, the girl named Vivian exclaimed. A thick, long red python appeared out of thin air and bit Antonio’s neck.
Antonio’s attention was on Vivian, but as the greatest mage in the kingdom, his reaction was not weak. He subconsciously summoned the Fusion Thread of the Dual God around him. The dense lines twisted to form a rigid shield in front of the python’s mouth.
With a muffled sound, the shield caved in. Antonio was pushed a few steps backward by the powerful force. With a grunt, the red python flew outward. It shrank back to the side of a red-haired girl.
“It’s you again!” Antonio gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot. “Let Vivian go.”
“I can let her go, but it depends on whether you can defeat me. If you can defeat me, she will be safe. If you can’t do it, then I’m sorry.” The red-haired girl was smiling.
“Then you can go to hell.”
The one who said that was not Antonio but Reid. Before he finished speaking, Reid had already pointed upward, and a huge throne fell from the sky. “Commandment.”
An invisible wave spread out from the sky. That wave contained the ability to seal everything. It swept over the red-haired girl’s body. The red-haired girl’s hair, which had initially turned into a red python, immediately softened and returned to the shape of ordinary hair.
“Throne of Commandment. I didn’t expect Watson to give it to you after taking that from me. I like that weapon. Since I saw it here, I’ll take back what belonged to me.”
Tilting her head, the red-haired girl, Frigga, licked her delicate lips and raised a finger. “The Kingdom of Shadows!”
A layer of black shadows covered the earth. Countless sticky arms stretched out from the shadows. Those arms wrapped around the Throne of Commandment. Then, it wrapped around Reid, Antonio, and Vivian too.
Reid and Antonio were fine. The former’s body emitted a sharp sword aura and cut off the shadow’s arm, while the latter controlled the Fusion Thread of the Dual God to fuse the arms easily. Only Vivian, with her body bound in shackles, could not resist being wrapped and pulled down by the shadow’s arms. She could not even make a sound.
“Why are you still able to release your power under the Throne of Commandment’s seal? And you said that that throne was originally given to you. Are you King Landhar III?” Reid’s expression changed, and Frigga began to explain indifferently. “That’s right. I am King Landhar III. But now, my name is Frigga. After you obtained the Throne of Commandment, you must not have studied its abilities carefully. The throne can seal all the power within its range. The prerequisite is that that range must be within the throne’s ruling area.
“In the past, I was able to seal the power of the entire Holy Dragon Kingdom with that throne. That’s because I am the king. As a Sword Saint, you can’t even compare to me, so how much can you seal?”
That was why she chose to fight in the Elven forest. Frigga was very clear about Antonio and Reid’s strengths and also knew how to deal with them.
Reid gritted his teeth. Just as King Landhar III had said, the Throne of Commandment could only be used to its fullest when it was located in its kingdom. That did not mean that its sealing ability was ineffective in the kingdom. However, it should not have been useful against Frigga because she emitted an evil aura. That aura made Reid shudder.
He was a diamond-tier elite, and with a peak starlight-tier item given to him by Watson, he could fight even against a god. At last, Frigga was able to make him feel pressured, proving that the other party’s strength was at least at the starlight tier, and it was not just any ordinary starlight.
“King Landhar III, I didn’t expect that you wouldn’t give up after being defeated by Watson. You turned into a woman and made a comeback! But I’d advise you to stop. Last time, Watson decided to let you go, and this time, you won’t be so lucky.
“Watson let me go? He doesn’t have the qualifications to do that! I lost to Watson because I wanted to see if the thing on his body was as powerful as I thought. Now that I’ve verified it, I’ll take it away soon enough. As for you, you’re nothing. You can watch as I string him along.”
Antonio’s tone was calm, but it was filled with confidence.
“You’re boasting so shamelessly.”
Antonio was furious when he heard her words. The fusion threads around him flew out and wound around Frigga. At the same time, ten different-colored magical fountains appeared above his head. They symbolized the ten different elements that the world possessed.
The ten fountains of magic were as big as the sun. The moment they appeared, a powerful force swept in all directions. The Kingdom of Shadows that Frigg had summoned was immediately torn apart, and the earth was shattered and sank for several meters.
The six fundamental elements—earth, fire, water, light, and darkness—were part of that. They shattered the earth and the torrential river, and the flames were swept up by the storm and spread to the sky. Light and darkness continued to cycle, covering the Forest of Eternity alternately.
The life source revived the scorched world trees on the ground and grew upward, turning into a giant cage to protect Vivian. The source of chaos-elemental magic turned into a layer of green-gray clouds that covered the top of Frigga’s head. The source of death-elemental magic summoned a massive skeleton from the ground and reached its bony hand to grab Frigga’s leg.
Finally, it was the Yin-elemental magic fountain. The air was filled with formless and distorted emotions. They entered Frigga’s body, causing a lazy look to appear on her face. Her hands, which were raised to resist, drooped powerlessly.
The Yin-elemental magic fountain possessed the ability to control emotions, especially pride, anger, and the other great sins. At that moment, Antonio was controlling gluttony. A large amount of laziness entered Frigga’s body, causing her body to become sluggish.. No matter how powerful she was, she could not use her power.
