Chapter 354 Blessing

"Die, lowly beast!" after saying that, Jalen swung his sword, sending a wave of energy at Fyre.

"Haha." Like before, Fyre rushed toward Jalen while laughing.

Even though a huge slash was flying toward him, he did not stop running as if he did not see it.

"Break for me!" Fyre blocked Jalen's attack with his sword.

However, Jalen's attack was powerful, so his sword broke into pieces right after it came into contact with his attack.

Boom!

Fyre was sent flying several meters before finally crashing against the walls.

"Did you think you could block my attack? What a fool!" Jalen stated.

"The durability of this sword is so poor. It broke into pieces after blocking one attack." Fyre threw his sword before finally rising to his feet. "Hey, Hyzi. Come and join me. Unlike these weak humans, he is strong. I'm sure he can give you excitement."

Jalen shifted his gaze from Fyre to Hyzi.

"You want to fight me too? Come here. I will kill you too." Hyzi was only at 4-star like Fyre, so Jalen believed he could kill them.

"I hope your power is as big as your boast." Hyzi, who was in human form, rushed toward Jalen before finally throwing his right fist.

"Human, I'm coming too." after saying that, Fyre dashed toward Jalen.

But he stopped running when he was six meters away from Jalen.

'Wait! I'm a knight, so I should use a weapon.'

He skimmed his surroundings to find a weapon.

'What type of weapon should I use this time?'

There are many types of weapons on the ground, such as spears, swords, hammers, daggers, and halberds.

Of course, these weapons were only at Common or Rare rank because it belonged to dead low-ranking soldiers.

'I'm a warrior, so I should use a sword.'

With that idea in mind, Fyre grabbed two swords before finally rushing toward Jalen again.

"Human, I'm coming." Fyre roared as he raised his swords.

As Fyre was rushing toward Jalen, Ace was fighting against Finley, Michael, and Ariel.

Even though his attacks were limited to ice balls and ice breath, he could fight them on an equal footing.

His body was strong, and his scales were thick, so it could cover up his lack of skill.

"Death Sphere." Ace shot out a huge ball of ice toward them.

"Fire Arrow!"

"Fire Slash!"

"Spiral Flame magic."

Finley and the others used fire magic and skills to attack him because the ice was weak against fire.

As they were fighting fiercely, the flow on the battlefield changed.

Previously, Finley's subordinates had the upper hand, but everything changed when Nova and his slaves joined the war.

Now, they were at a disadvantage and were killed continuously by Ace's subordinates.

"Aaaggghhh…"

"Aaaggghhh…"

"Aaaggghhh…"

Their dying screams reverberated in the entire area.

Finley, Michael and Ariel stopped attacking Ace and skimmed their surroundings. The trio gritted their teeth when they saw what was happening to their troops.

"Damn it! We are at a disadvantage now." Michael cursed venomously when he saw their people dying one by one.

"Finley, let's use plan B." Ariel spoke abruptly.

"Alright." Finley agreed instantly because they could lose the war if they did not use plan B immediately.

Right after he moved to the rear, Asher and many powerful awakeners surrounded him, protecting him from their enemies.

Unlike Ace's enemies until now, Finley was an incarnation.

He made a contract with a trickster god, Loki.

He sacrificed his wife, son, and daughter to get a powerful blessing. His blessing was defensive type and could be shared with whoever he wanted.

When he used his blessing, an orange armor made of mana would appear and protect the bodies of the people he decided to share his blessing with.

Not only that, but their bodies would also heal any wounds on its own at an incredible speed.

It could be said they became almost invincible after Finley shared his blessing with them because they would get an amazing protector armor on top of recovery ability.

However, nothing was perfect, including Finley's blessing.

When he used his blessing, he needed to focus and use his mana continuously to maintain his blessing.

He could not move around and could only sit on the ground.

In other words, he became an easy target.

Even a kid could kill him when he was using his blessing.

This was the reason why many powerful awakeners guarded him because he could not protect himself when he was using his blessing.

"This is…" the red-haired man was surprised by the orange armor that suddenly enveloped his body.

When he saw his wounds recovering at an incredible speed, he knew what was going on.

His king was using his blessing!

Finley had used his blessing before, so all of his subordinates knew about it.

"Everyone, His Majesty is using his blessing." The red-haired man shouted. "We will win this war for sure."

"His Majesty is using his blessing."

"With His Majesty's blessing, we are almost invincible."

"You are right."

"Let's kill them all!"

"Let's avenge our fallen brothers and sisters."

"Kill these damn beasts!"

Their fighting spirit immediately flared up again because they knew how amazing Finley's blessing was.

With the help of Finley's blessing, they had the upper hand again.

Now, they fought much more bravely and brutally than before because Finley had shared his blessings with them.

"Hmm? Blessing?" Ace was startled upon hearing their words.

'Wait.'

He suddenly remembered the offer given by the God of Wine and Ecstasy.

'I see. So, he is incarnation, huh?'

He remembered the contract between humans and divine beings because the God of Wine and Ecstasy offered him a contract several months ago.

"Ice dragon, look around you." Michael spoke abruptly. "The tables have turned. Your underlings are at a disadvantage again now."

"With Finley's blessing, the outcome of this war has been set in stone." Ariel added.

"As usual, you speak like you know the future. Do you think you are God?" even though his underlings were at a disadvantage, Ace still acted calmly.

"I'm not a God, but I know we will win this war." Ariel said confidently. "Numbers no longer matter now because Finley is using his blessing."

"Then I only need to make him stop using his blessing, and the tables will turn again." Ace believed they still had not lost the war.

"Make him stop using his blessing?" Ariel uttered.

"He is protected by many of his subordinates. I'm one hundred percent sure he can't move from his position now. Then doesn't that mean he is an easy target now?" Ace suspected this because Finley was protected by many people.

Ariel's face darkened.

He did not expect Ace to know about it right away.

"Haha." Ace laughed after seeing Ariel's expression. "Hey, don't you think your king is stupid?"

He then continued, "He should hide in a place where I can't find him before using his blessing. Why is he sitting on the battlefield? Wait. Don't tell me. He can't share his blessing with them if the distance is too far?"

Ariel, who knew about Finley's blessing, clenched his fist angrily because what Ace said was right.

Another drawback of the blessing was that the distance between Finley and the target could not be too far.

This was the reason why Finley only moved to the rear because they could not receive his blessing if they were too far from him.

"Then it makes it easier for me to stop him from using his blessing because I know what I know what to do now." Ace uttered.

"Do you think we will let you disturb His Majesty?" Michael would not let Ace get close to Finley because Finley was the key to winning the war.

Ace's lips curled up into a grin. "Do you think you can stop me?"

"Don't think it will be the same as before since we have His Majesty's blessing now?" With Finley's blessing, Michael believed he and Ariel could stop Ace from disturbing Finley.

And after their subordinates killed all of Ace's followers, they could kill Ace too.

In other words, it was only a matter of time before Ace and his underlings died at their hands.

"You act like you get a new power. I'm suddenly curious about it now." there was not the slightest sign of fear in Ace's eyes.

"Micheal, stop doing useless things. Let's just beat him up." Ariel uttered.

"You are right." Michael responded.

"Come. Let me see if your power is different than before or not." Ace challenged them.

When Michael and Ariel were about to attack Ace, a voice suddenly rang out. "Ice dragon, it seems like you are having a hard time."
