Light Spirit Epic Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Rule of Miracles 1

The next day.

"Huaaaaaa……!"  Arthur twisted his body mid-air and barely dodged a Lion Scorpion's stinger. While in mid-air, he raised his Light Sabre and easily sliced off the monster's head. As theLion Scorpion's head tumbled into the ground, its poisonous dark green blood showered like rain towards Arthur.

But the slippery youth had already took cover beneath the belly of another Lion Scorpion. Before the Lion Scorpion was able to react, the toxic blood fell on its body,  Immediately, Arthur flung himself behind the monster's back and chopped the Lion Scorpion's waist in half!

But the fight was far from over, a large group of Lion Scorpions swarmed around him.

Poisonous tails plunged towards the youth; just a single drop can kill an adult elephant, just a light scratch will kill a normal human.

However, the youth was not afraid, there was only anger in his heart.

Anger and wrath would make a normal person’s IQ drop to zero; anger and wrath will transform a wise man into a reckless husband.

However, the youth's  anger had been raging furiously for years, he had learned to coexist reason and anger together. Anger does not make him stupid, it instead inspired his thinking, stimulated his body and mind, and gave him an extraordinary reaction speed.

The youth avoided death using speed, he danced between the gaps of the numerous stingers, he shut the open doors of death with ease! The Lion Scorpion chased the youth and stabbed their tails with lightning speed, but they were always a step too late. As they gaze the youth easily slip between the gaps of their attacks, they began to show exhaustion. Arthur fiercely gripped his Light Sabre and began his counterattack.

Green light radiated the battlefield as the shadow of a blade flickered.

One flash, two flashes, three flashes, ten flashes, a hundred flashes!

Tails were decapitated, hearts were pierced, hands and feet were sliced off, heads were crushed. In less than ten seconds, mutilated body parts were scattered all over the field.

"Hu, hu, hu———" The youth gasped, He coldly looked at the Giant Lion Scorpion twenty yards away. This creature was high as an elephant, its nine strands of stingers filled with dripping venom were ready to strike in a blink of an eye.

"Hey stupid, your young ones are all dead…." The youth waved his Light Sabre provocatively, "Come here and die!"

Enraged by anger, the Lion Scorpion King jumped upwards, its nine stingers swung wildly from all direction and stabbed towards the youth.

Out of nowhere, the radiance of a Light Sabre illuminated the insides of the Lion Scorpion King. Arthur pulled out his blade and stabbed inwards again and again. What the Lion Scorpion King was aiming was just an illusion.

The Scorpio Lion King violently convulsed because of the pain, then silently fell down. Its insides were grounded into pieces before it even hit the ground,

A youth stood up beside the monster's body and wiped his face as if nothing had happened.

"This guy is really tough today." The tall masked man observing in the high platform said.

"This was not fighting, it was a pure slaughter." Another masked man disdainfully said, "What a cruel dragon."

"Cameron, why are you always targeting this youth?" The tall masked man asked, "Why hate him so much?"

"I'm just saying the truth." Said the masked man named Cameron, "Head, why do you always speak for this kid? Is he that good? Is his fighting skills that good? In my opinion, there still a dozen or so knights that have the same fighting ability or even higher than him."

"Moreover, a knight's Light Saber is not everything. He had to master riding techniques, defensive techniques, blocking techniques, and numerous other complex techniques. He must posses firm belief on the knighthood path!"

"Do not tell me the damn rules." The tall masked waved his hands, "When I first joined, I was a stupid kid. I do not even have the slightest idea of the knight's path."

"But, did you see?  In just a couple of years, I climbed out of my stupidity to become the head. This world is not as complicated as you think. It is not as complex as you think. In the end, the strong decides everything."

"Powerful people will someday soar mightily across the skies. If you recognize people with such potential, why not control them? When they become powerful to the point you can't even control them, it will be too late."

Cameron looked at the tall masked man, "Oh, the head is really willful."

"Hmmmmm?" The head asked with a bit of a accepting tone.

"Let's watch him again." Cameron insisted on letting the matter go, "I still have one last doubt. If he can not meet my expectations, would you please end your wilfulness here?"

"Alright….." The head deeply sighed, he stared at the youth for a long time before saying. "Release the Lord of the Abyss."

(Hurry up, I want to take a drink.)

(What's the use, I already knew who will win this battle.)

Meanwhile, the youth was just toying with a giant. Finally, he was able to stand on the giant's shoulders and with one stroke plunged his blade deep inside the giant's head, skewering its brain. He then sliced, hacked, diced, and slashed in various direction until the creature fell to the ground, utterly dead.

"I hate thick-skinned creatures like this monster." The youth clenched his Light Sabre.

Before he could even take a breath, the door to the pit of death suddenly opened…….not opened, directly collapsed. A huge dragon emerged, crushing the once solid door into rubble.

This was a skeletal dragon filled with hatred intent. Photons of its residual characteristic continued to attach to the dragon's bones long after it died and after years of continual transformations, it ultimately morphed into something alive yet dead, seemingly into monster born from the depths of necromancy.

It possessed no memory, no thoughts, no feelings, no awareness, only pure killing desire.

The skeletal dragon smashed its foot on the body of the giant's corpse. It burst like a ballon filled with blood, its bones were crushed and blood fell like a waterfall. Then, it shouted loudly towards Arthur, preparing to sprint!

"That's great." The youth shook his head helplessly, "The other was thick-skinned, now this one got no skin."

Hwaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!

The dragon fiercely rushed at the youth! This huge figure possess the power to easily annihilate armies. It's a creature, a thing, that a human can not absolutely match! Even if Arthur dodges, he will get hit by the shockwaves and will slam into the wall becoming a meat paste.

What to do?

A hundredth of a second passed.

Death!

A thousandth of a second passed.

I do not want to die! I can't die especially in this filthy place!

Another hundredth of a second passed.

A tenth of a second passed.

I will not die in this place! I am Arthur D. Pendragon, someday, I…….I will become the strongest swordsman in the whole world, death himself will bow before me!!!!!!!

"Hahahahahahaha!!!" The youth did not dodge, instead he subconsciously welcomed the mindless creature. He pushed his Light Sabre's output to the maximum and with all his might slammed it towards the rushing monster!!!

What happened that moment, supposedly should not happen …….it was a miracle.

It was impossible for a measly Light Sabre, even at its maximum output, to emit so much photons. It was because there wasn’t enough room in the surrounding area to collect photons.

But what he did was creating something out of nothing. It was contrary to the laws of nature, contrary to the laws of equal exchange, it was something beyond the existence of natural forces.

It was another miracle, 'Photon Creation'. When the Legendary Creator created the world, he created an ocean of photons out of nothing, all matter, the energy, the soul = all were sources of this realm.

Though it was only a moment, there was a cosmic burst of a universal photon storm that not only resisted the fatal blow of the  skeletal dragon, but also bombarded its skull into cinders.

Without even putting up any resistance, the skeletal dragon faded in front of the youth…..faded from the face of the earth.

It was a terrifying blow.

If that was used in the battlefield, how many lives would have been obliterated in an instant?

The skeletal dragon was burned into powder by an inner demonic fire and instantly disintegrated. After seeing this scene, the youth finally relaxed. As soon as he relaxed, he immediately collapsed.

"Still………alive……" The youth Arthur said to himself, "it's…….it's wonderful to be alive."

"Get the medical team quick!!!!" The tall masked man directly commanded.

"How about it? Is that what you wanted to see?" He asked again.

"This was not something I had expected." Cameron said, "However, that was indeed an interesting phenomenon. It's worth the observation."

"Observation? There is no enemy stronger than the Lord of the Abyss within the simulator." said the leader, "What exactly were you expecting to see?"

"I expected him to runaway." Cameron calmly said, "Facing against……… an undefeatable opponent, a normal person would immediately run away.  A person who do not know how to escape is not qualified to become a knight. One’s own life is most precious. A person who does not cherish his own life cannot be deployed on the battlefield."

He didn’t know that the youth never intended to be a knight.

The head retorted with a full ironic sneer, "However, he did not escape and he also won. What else can you ask for?"

"I can only say that he is more like the monster against all those creatures." Cameron said coldly, "Do you really think you have the ability to control this monster, Leo?"

"Heaven knows. " The head smiled lavishly, "This is not my first time dealing with a dragon, but this monster is truly interesting. Let me and this dragon get a long for a little while."

After speaking, the head disappeared into the darkness.

What Cameron was worried the most was that the head just wanting to have some fun.

Tease a dragon and sooner or later it will bite back. Cameron's concerns will be fulfilled in six months.
