Level 10 Fire devour
Level 10 Fire devour
King Thomas clenched his fists as he cursed Ajax for making his son use such a powerful trump card against him.
Fire burst, it is a powerful cultivator's law for humans and other beings. The flames from this law would turn anything in its way into ashes.
Even regular low-level king realm cultivators were no exception.
However, such a powerful cultivator's law had a disadvantage and it was triggered automatically whenever the cultivator was angry.
In the past, after Prince Dennis mastered this cultivator's law, he had destroyed many towns in the province without his knowledge. Moreover, with the passage of time, the level of his cultivator's law increased and his attitude towards human lives became void.
Overall, he felt he was the god and whoever angered him would be turned by ashes by his flames.
…
In the secret realm,
"So, are you going to kneel now?"
Prince Dennis' ego would be satisfied to see Ajax kneel and beg for mercy; however, even if Ajax did that, Prince Dennis didn't have any plans on letting Ajax live.
'Swoosh'
The flames around Ajax moved closer as he started feeling the heat waves.
"Looks like when you activate your cultivator's law, you will turn into an idiot."
Nevertheless, with a slight smile on his face, Ajax mocked Prince Dennis as he informed, "Did you forget about the escape spatial ring or what? If I want to escape from this secret realm, I can do it just with a thought."
"Huh?"
Prince Dennis frowned when he heard Ajax's words; however, he acted like he didn't know what Ajax was speaking.
He thought Ajax was just spouting nonsense. So, he wanted to show Ajax what real pain looks like.
"Take this."
The flames around Ajax turned pitch black as they tried to swallow Ajax in a single sweep.
"I am waiting for it"
Ajax didn't show any fear with the sudden increase in the intensity of the flames; instead, he revealed an excited look on his face, making all the onlookers raise their brows.
….
'Hey, did you see his expression?'
'Why does he say those words and what is he excited about?'
'I think he is giving up by making Prince Dennis use his most powerful trump card. Without that trump card, Prince Dennis will not make it to the last round.'
'That's right! What a cunning fellow.'
Most of the onlookers thought Ajax intentionally made Prince Dennis angry to make him use his powerful trump card. So, he would basically become a tiger without its fangs.
"Cheap bastard."
King Thomas also thought the same and cursed Ajax before saying, "I wonder which sect or family is behind that kid."
The latter words were aimed at everyone sitting around him except for the black-robed old man.
"Da.."
"You…"
"Is there a need for cursing the future pillars of the world like that?"
Before the powerful cultivators of the sects and families could say anything, the guardian of the Purple stone world 'Protector of the skies' spoke in a tone that made everyone on the stage shiver.
"Guardian…"
Compared to others, the black-robed old man's cultivation pressure was aimed at King Thomas as he fell to his knees begging the old man.
"As I said earlier, it is just a competition among young cultivators of the Purple stone world. There is no need to curse or show your anger on them just because of your sons and daughter."
The old man looked at everyone sitting on the huge stage as he retracted his cultivation pressure, "Just enjoy it."
"Yes…guardian."
"We will do that."
"Sorry, for bad-mouthing the participant, guardian, I will not do that anymore."
Everyone including King Thomas nodded their heads before looking at the flying mirrors.
It was not just King Thomas, the other powerful cultivators were complaining and cursing the young participants from the Zrochester province.
So, the old man gave warning to everyone except for the three protectors in a single sweep.
"Good."
The black-robed old man nodded his head as he replied, "Also, that kid named Ajax is going to win the match against your son Dennis. So, let's see who is the real cheap bastard."
'What?'
Everyone was shocked by the words of the black-robed old man as they looked at the fighting arena number 30.
….
'Swoosh'
Just as they focused on that arena where Ajax was completely covered by the huge black flames, they noticed something was not right.
Because they could still see Ajax inside the fire prison created by the huge black flames.
"Fire devour"
All of a sudden, a huge whirlpool created above Ajax's head which sucked all the black flames into it.
'What is it?'
'Is he absorbing the black flames?'
'Is that a cultivator's law?'
Everyone was surprised and became excited with the sudden change of events in the fighting arena number 30.
'Swoosh'
In less than a minute, all the flames that were trying to swallow Ajax were in return swallowed by Ajax creating a huge commotion among the onlookers.
'Ding,
The host's cultivator's law 'Fire devour' had successfully reached level 10.
'Ding,
Please increase your cultivation to level 10 elite general realm to unlock the breakthrough conditions into the King realm.
As soon as Ajax devoured the flames around him using his cultivator's law, he received two system notifications, making him quite surprised.
'Finally, it reached level 10. Good, now, all I have to do is to increase my cultivation to level 10 elite general realm and I think it will be completed in three or four months.'
Ajax was satisfied and confident in reaching the level 10 elite general realm in three to four months because of his four exploration teams along with 11 devourer eagle kings.
Of course, he added the normal world cores he would be getting from stopping the demon invasion which might happen anytime now.
'Anyway, since I activated the cultivator's law, it is better to finish the match soon.'
Ajax didn't want to waste much of his energy on his opponent when he clearly had the advantage because of his cultivator's law.
So, he wanted to make use of it and finish the match soon. Only by doing so, he could be in his full form when the demon invasion starts.
"H..how did you…"
Prince Dennis was shocked when he saw Ajax who was not harmed in any way and became even more furious as he released more and more flames at Ajax.
"Huh? You have more flames in you?"
Ajax was surprised for a moment; however, he didn't mind because the more flames he devoured, the more powerful his cultivator's law 'Fire devour' would become.
'I wonder, whether I can increase my cultivator's law into a cultivator's soul by absorbing more and more flames?'
While devouring the black flames released by Prince Dennis, Ajax thought of something; however, in the next second, he shook his head because he thought it was not possible.
'However, I need to awaken a new cultivator's law. Even though the current cultivator's law is at level 10 and only one level away from transforming into a cultivator's soul, it was useless against my future enemies.'
Other than absorbing the fires, Ajax didn't find a great use for his first cultivator's law yet. So, he wanted to awaken a new cultivator's law.
'Swoosh'
'Swoosh'
Time continued to pass as Prince Dennis continuously released black flames and Ajax devoured them like snacks; however, no matter how many black flames he devoured, there was no change in Ajax's cultivator's law.
'Looks like I was right! It is very hard to transform the cultivator's law into a soul.'
Ajax noticed that Prince Dennis was becoming slower and slower in releasing the black flames and muttered, 'He might be fainting anytime now.'
Looking at the pale-faced Prince Dennis, Ajax shook his head in pity.
Even though Prince Dennis awakened such a powerful cultivator's law, it was useless in front of his own useless cultivator's law 'Fire devour'.
'Thud'
All of a sudden, Prince Dennis fell to the ground and all the flames around his body disappeared at the same time.
"Huh? What should I do now? Is it considered as my win?"
Before entering the secret realm, the old minister mentioned that their opponent had to say 'Forfeit'. So, Ajax rubbed the back of his head looking at the unconscious Prince Dennis.
"Since your opponent didn't forfeit, you have to kill him to win the round."
All of a sudden, the old minister's voice rang in the fighting arena number 30, making Ajax shake his head in disappointment.
'Such a cruel world, asking me to kill the fellow human who was unconscious.'
Ajax looked at the flying mirror that was inside the secret realm that was projecting whatever was happening in that arena and said, "What if I don't kill him?"
"..."
The old minister was speechless when he heard Ajax's reply and said, "Then the one from the lower province will be eliminated after five minutes of no exchange of moves."
