Anna’s face brightened when she saw the metal-clad man win his second fight. Her two eyes couldn’t leave Metal Guardian.

“Hey, you like it?”

Suddenly Anna was shocked and blushed at the same time. “Eh! No! I just admire him.” Anna didn’t realize that Viez had gotten better and had been watching her all this time.

However, the arena was still hot.

Andrei who was in an unconscious state was carried out by the Red Faction soldiers.

Viktor looked at Nikolai as the man stare at Viktor with a glare full of hatred and anger.

It was perfectly natural for Nikolai. His best men were defeated so easily, even though their gap was vastly different. In addition, his men began to fear seeing the Metal Guardian figure. They looked at Nikolai expectantly, hoping their boss would come forward to face the metal-clad monster.

Of course this was hard for Nikolai. Even though he was named one of the 8 Saints in Russia, it was still possible that he lost. Judging from the battle just now, it was clear that Viktor had not put all his might.

“Blyat,” muttered Nikolai

Now his pride was at stake. If he goes ahead and wins, not only will his name soar. The northern region was definitely in his grasp. But if he loses, not only will his name be trampled on, but also lose the northern region. It was impossible for him to withdraw from the fight. Where do you want to put his face?

An inevitable fight.

“I’ve been standing here for quite a while. Where is the next fighter?” Viktor’s words were sarcastic.

Nikolai who heard that was furious. He knew he was being mocked. It was impossible for him to send other men to fight. Saint Realm just lost, what about Sky Realm? Only he was the most worthy to face Viktor.

But, he still kept his trump card behind his pocket.

“I still have a chance of winning,” Nikolai muttered.

The Red Faction leader stretched for a moment, after which he advanced into the arena. Instantly cheers from the Red Faction camp rang out.

“Commanders! Commanders! Commanders!”

Votes of support were called in support of Nikolai.

The descendants of the two most influential families faced each other.

“Don’t compare me to that old fart. I’m on a different level to him. So put all your might if you don’t want to die,” said Nikalo. An arrogant tone sounded in every sentence.

“I hope your strength matches your talk,” Viktor replied. Then Djinn’s voice entered Viktor’s head.

Human – Saint Realm – Battle power 99

After knowing the information that entered his head, Viktor was quite calm about it. In terms of battle power he felt certain to be superior. Besides, he didn’t need to use buff spells, such as Strength Up or All Mighty.

“This is going to be an easy fight, hehe,” Viktor muttered.

Then, Nikolai started to take out the dual swords from his storage ring.

The referee standing between these two human-shaped monsters got goosebumps. He could feel the pressure of the strength of both sides. The referee started to raise his hand.

“Fifth round, Nikolai Yakov vs Northstar.”

The audience was getting tensed. They held their breath. Because this fight will determine who was the strongest person in Russia!

“Three… two… one!”

Bam—! There was a clash between the two.

Metal clashes sounded, a metal fist and sword just collided. Viktor sensed something odd, he was sure he was superior in battlepower, but he couldn’t afford to push Nikolai an inch.

After that Viktor launched various variations of North Fist. But Nikolai easily dodged every fist he threw. It was as if Viktor punched the wind. Then he used Speed Up, instantly his agility increased. He dashed without hesitation towards Nikolai.

Bang!

Instead of Nikolai bouncing, it was his fists that were helped. Immediately Viktor was confused.

“Is this your only ability, Metal Guardian?” a tone of ridicule came from Nikolai’s mouth. “Now, it’s my turn to attack.”

Nikolai took a step back, his foot stance changed. After that he shot like lightning at Viktor.

Swooooss!

There was the sound of the wind being cut. A sword nearly sliced Viktor’s body in two. Luckily Viktor’s agility stat was high. But the attack just now was just the beginning. He started to move quickly and swung his two swords as if it were light as a feather.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Even though Viktor was moving very fast, the blades grazed his body many times. Luckily there was armor protecting his body. However, even tier 2 armor that had received Metal Tempering took damage.

“Damn! This doesn’t make sense,” Viktor muttered. Then Djinn’s voice sounded in his head.

“What the—”

Slash!

The sword had just scratched Viktor’s mask. Half of his face was barely visible. Immediately Viktor immediately took a step back as far as possible.

Meanwhile, Nikolai, who saw his opponent’s reaction, started to get nervous, laughing arrogantly.

“How does it feel to be hit by a high tier sword? Cutting metal is like cutting butter with a hot knife.”

This time their eyes met directly.

Nikolai ascended to the Saint not without reason. He gets full resources and support from the Yakov family. They bought all kinds of high-tier weapons from the challenge quests to give to Nikolai. Tier 3 agility-enhancing boots, endurance-enhancing tier 3 armor, strength-enhancing tier 3 gauntlets, tier 4 dual sword, and special sword art manual.

“I want to see the ugly face behind that rusty mask,” Nikolai sneered.

Viktor gritted his teeth. A high-level artifact covered the distance between the two of them.

“I do not have a choice.” If he wanted to win this duel, he had to use All Might.

Suddenly, a Djinn voice sounded in Viktor’s head.

There was a roar from the north. Then all attention turned to the source of the voice.

From the north appeared, a young man dressed in a classy suit and fur coat. The impression of luxury emanated from his appearance. On either side stood two men wearing silver armor and behind him were dozens of marching soldiers. If counted, their number were 500 people. They walked through the audience and into the center of the arena.

The audience from the Red Faction camp began to darken. They recognized who the group of soldiers were.

Imperial Rus Soldier.

The young man arrogantly stepped into the center of the arena, with two Sky Realm Bodyguards flanking him on either side.

Seeing their arrival, Nikolai clicked his tongue. His eyes were full of anger. Then he looked at Viktor. “So this is what you were planning?”

Nikolai thought that Viktor set him up. He thought that the duel was to delay the arrival of reinforcements.

Victor was confused. Even though he himself did not know that the Imperial Rus troops were coming.

Not long after, the young man arrived at the center of the arena. Now the referee was really shrinking.

“The traitor of the nation, Nikola Yakov. What are you doing here? How dare you enter the territory of Imperial Rus. You’re looking to die, huh?”

At once Nikolai was furious. He might have slashed the man’s head off had it not been for the two Saint Realm bodyguards flanking him. Moreover, the Metal Guardian who was the main scourge was still standing before him.

This condition was really unfavorable for him. If he dared to fight, bloodshed was inevitable. Although he survived, but not with his men. They are in poor condition. He had lost 6 howitzers and some of his best men could no longer fight.

Inevitably, Nikolai had to lower his ego.

“I should have known. Imperial Rus pigs like you guys won’t keep their promises. You guys always use dirty ways.” Nikolai glared at Viktor.

At that moment, Viktor realized that Nikolai had misunderstood. He would not waste this opportunity. “Now you know what to do, don’t you?”

“Cuh.” Nikolai spat. “If I meet you again, I will definitely kill you, sly Pig!”

Behind the mask Viktor smiled broadly. “In this way, the north belongs to Viktor Romanov.”

Nikolai turned around while shouldering hatred.

On the other hand, the young man who had just arrived felt neglected. He quickly grabbed Nikolai’s shoulder to stop him.

“Where are you going, criminal? How dare you ignore Albert Romanov!”

At once Nikolai turned his head with a ghastly expression. “Don’t make me change my mind.”

Those short words were enough to make Albert fall and tremble with fear. The bodyguard beside him immediately drew his weapon at Nikolai.

But Nikolai ignored them. After that he left the arena. Not long after, all the Red Faction soldiers left this place.

“Hehe, I was very lucky today.”

Even though the feud with the Red Faction was over, there was still another problem that Viktor needed to fix.

“Hey, can man! Who are you? Why mention my cousin’s name?”

Now, he has to deal with his annoying cousin, Albert Romanov
