Chapter 116: Sharp Blades Vs Golden Shield

“It seems that you are not interested in high-end cigarettes…” Clement’s dual blades had returned to his side, and they were spinning non-stop in mid-air to look for a new opportunity to attack.

Jacques spat his soggy cigarette and flashed a smile at Clement, “Of course, no person would be interested in the possessions of bandits…”

“Kill him!”

Upon Clement’s order, the Daemon Fang soldiers immediately ordered their Battle Beasts to attack Jacques!

“Golden Binding!” Jacques roared, and his Battle Beast immediately unleashed the skill.

Golden rings began to form on the enemy Battle Beasts, and before long, the rings had expanded and completely enveloped them.

They looked as if they were trap in amber!

“Explode!!” Jacques shouted again, and his gold elemental flickered again!

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…”

The gold layer that enveloped the enemy Battle Beasts exploded one after another!

They had taken massive damage from Jacques’ attack!

‘They seem to have lost their combat strength!’

Clement stared at the man before him in disbelief. Jacques was not an easy opponent to deal with!

After all, the Daemon Fang soldiers’ Battle Beasts were at the very least top-tier blue elite rank!

However, Jacques had incapacitated all of them in a single move!

Based on his estimations, Jacques was at least a 4-star Silver-tier Beastmaster!

“Fall back. Leave this place to me…” Clement’s expression turned serious.

“Roger that!” The soldiers turned around and left.

However, Jacques suddenly asked, “Since when did I give you intruders permission to leave?!”

Jacques activated Golden Binding once more!

This time, his targets were the Daemon Fang soldiers!

After all, there was no need to show any mercy to the soldiers who killed the students and his fellow colleagues in cold blood!

Another series of explosions rang out!

Without exception, all the soldiers had died on the spot!

Without waiting for Clement’s surprise to fade, Jacques activated Golden Binding once more!

Clement quickly dropped onto the ground, and with a standard roll, he had managed to dodge Jacques’ attack!

“Not bad, you seem to have received combat training before…” Jacques realized that there was more to Clement than meets the eye.

After getting up again, Clement then patted the dust off his windbreaker and introduced himself.

“I am the former commander-in-chief of Daemon Fang, Fiat Clement!”

Jacques quickly looked up Clement’s name within his memories. Soon, his face turned dark as he asked, “Were you the one who led the massacre in Peace Village fifteen years ago?”

The corners of Clement’s lips contorted into a sinister smile. After thinking for a few seconds, he responded, “Peace Village? Fifteen years ago? Oh… I remember now. It was a seaside fishing village. The village was pretty small, and if memory serves, there were only about 200 villagers living there. That’s right! I was the one who led the massacre. It was their fault for not refusing to move out of the village after all. To think they had the gall to prevent my master from building the dock…”

“Displeasing my master is the greatest sin! As such, it is only right to take their lives as punishment!”

Jacques’ lover had died in the massacre!

Seeing how this fellow had described the massacre of the village with such ease and without any remorse, Jacques began to tremble in rage.

The gold elemental could already feel the rage of its master. Its body gradually expanded, and the malicious glow on its body became even more dazzling.

“Oh? Did I hit a nerve?” Clement chuckled coldly. He then accumulated his mana to launch an attack.

“You… Will. Die. Here.” Jacques expression had become emotionless. If looks could kill, Clement would have already died several times over.

“Such shameless boasting!” Clement roared, and his Flying Slashers that were on standby launched towards Jacques!

Jacques reacted quickly. After predicting the flight path of the two blades, he then ordered his gold elemental to trap the blades in a gold barrier!

However, to his surprise, the two blades seemed to have a mind of their own. They moved to the side, and avoided Jacques’ attack cleanly!

Jacques hurriedly retreated to the roof and continuously activated his skills!

However, the two blades seemed to be able to predict his attacks, and they had successfully dodged all of Jacques’ attacks!

“What the hell!”

Clemente looked at Jacques with a mocking gaze, as though he was taking pleasure in his enemy’s plight.

“Clang! !”

A crisp sound rang out!

Jacques summoned a golden barrier to deflect the two blades!

“Hahaha! Actually, your Battle Beast is pretty good! It has unique moves, and its defensive capabilities are outstanding! Unfortunately… you will meet your end soon!” Mana surged within Clement’s body as he shouted, “Smash his barrier!”

Flying Slashers unleashed a barrage of attacks on the golden barrier that was enveloping Jacques!

Every time the blades touched his barrier, the tips of the two blades would light up slightly and cause a powerful explosion!

“Let’s see how long you can last!” Reassured by the fact that Joey had broken the barrier earlier, Clement was confident he could do the same as well.

Despite his enemy’s fierce attacks, Jacques calmly assessed the situation and applied his mana to reinforce any cracks that appear in the barrier.

On one end was a pair of razor-sharp blades!

And on the other, was a sturdy shield that was as sturdy as Mount Tai[1]!

It was an intense exchange, and in truth, Jacques was at a disadvantage!

Flying Slashers were fast and powerful! It was all Jacques could do to defend himself! He had no opportunity to launch a counterattack!

“Damn it…” Jacques’ mind spun rapidly as he thought of ways to beat Clement.

Nevertheless, after a dozen or so minutes, the situation still did not change.

Although his mana was constantly being depleted, Clement, who was at a safe distance away, did not panic at all. He took out a bottle of Booster from his pocket and drank it.

Naturally, Jacques had no idea what it was.

All he could tell was that his enemy’s mana supply seemed to be endless!

“You are really tenacious!” Clement tossed the bottle aside and was about to increase the intensity of his Battle Beast’s attacks.

However, he suddenly noticed a ray of sunshine had refracted from the bottle, and it had struck his shoulder!

The midday sun had made it impossible for people to look directly at it.

“Oh no!” Clement was unable to dodge in time, and a ray of golden light exploded on his shoulder!

Boom!

A wave of smoke and dust followed, and Clement, who was covering his bleeding shoulder, had already rolled to another direction.

However, the ray of golden light then refracted from the eaves of the nearby houses and pursued Clement!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…

A series of small explosions rang out in quick succession. Had it not been for his long years of combat experience and the fact that he was hiding in the shadows of the houses, Clement might have already met his end!

“Your Battle Beast can refract sunlight to launch attacks!!” Clement glared at Jacques who was smiling within the golden barrier and spat!
