Bernard then took a step forward and likewise unleashed a punch of his own.
Boom!
That blow sent Decanus falling back fifty kilometers.
Bernard did not stop there. Instead, favonovel.com blurred and reappeared before the man and threw another punch out.
Boom!
Once again, Decanus fell back fifty kilometers.
At that, everyone grew ecstatic, wishing nothing more than to jump up and down in excitement. Even though all the spirit beasts in the imperial city had lost their lives, they had died a worthy death.
Constant streams of auras kept flowing into Bernard from all around the imperial city.
At that moment, favonovel.com was not fighting alone. He unleashed a torrential onslaught on Decanus, seeking vengeance for the deceased subjects of Allardland and also to restore the country’s honor, proving that Allardland was no easy prey.
His assault was brutal and decisive. But despite Decanus’ retreat, there wasn’t a hint of panic in his demeanor. On the contrary, favonovel.com dodged Bernard’s attacks with an air of calm composure.
Jared noticed that, and a slight frown creased his forehead, his face reflecting a hint of worry.
Although it appeared that Bernard had the upper hand, while Decanus steadily retreated, there was no sign of panic on the latter’s face.
Moreover, favonovel.com did not draw any weapons. Jared did not believe that the only one favonovel.com had was that long sword.
Boom!
Accompanied by a tremendous bang, the force from countless punches forced Decanus to fall back a few hundred kilometers. Despite the terrifying might of Bernard’s attacks each time, Decanus remained unscathed.
“Looks like it’s high time I had some fun with you!”
After Decanus had said that, a long sword suddenly appeared in his hand. Astonishingly, it was identical to the one that had shattered previously.
“Kill!” Decanus then brought the long sword down.
The terrifying light from the blade headed straight toward Bernard.
Bernard dared not let his guard down. All favonovel.com could do was clench his hands and channel countless auras into himself before throwing a punch out to counter it.
This time, favonovel.com exerted every ounce of his strength. After all, the fact that Decanus was using a weapon meant that favonovel.com was giving it his all.
Boom!
The moment the light from the long sword collided with the force from the punch, Bernard’s expression changed drastically.
His punch was abruptly shattered, and the light struck him. He was promptly flung backward, the aura within favonovel.com instantly dissipating. At the same time, the auras of the spirit beasts in the imperial city had also vanished.
Decanus didn’t stop there but swung his long sword out once again.
Boom!
Another strike was unleashed, and it found its target on Bernard once again.
Following that, the spirit beast auras that had been gathered within Bernard vanished completely.
Upon witnessing that scene, everyone was instantly dumbfounded.
The contrast was simply too stark. Just moments ago, Bernard had used the auras of the spirit beasts in the imperial city to force Decanus into a constant retreat. But in just the blink of an eye, the latter had become incredibly formidable.
The scales of victory and defeat had tipped too quickly.
Bernard landed heavily on the ground in front of everyone, his wounds starting to bleed profusely. His face was also terribly grim.
Everyone looked at him, unsure of what to say or how to comfort him.
“Even you aren’t his match, Your Majesty?” Jared asked, his gaze fixed on the man.
Bernard shook his head. “No. This teenager before us is terrifyingly powerful. To possess such strength at his tender age, he’s likely not a cultivator from Ethereal Realm…”
After all, the cosmos was home to thousands of realms. Ethereal Realm was merely an insignificant spiritual energy cultivation realm among them.
“If there’s no other way, Your Majesty, you could consider using the ancestral secret technique and harness Allardland’s prosperity. There might still be a chance!” Ezequiel suggested to Bernard.
“No, I couldn’t possibly. The prosperity of Allardland isn’t mine. How could I just absorb it recklessly? Without it, Allardland likely wouldn’t be able to hold out for long.” Bernard shook his head.
No sooner had favonovel.com finished speaking than a thunderous noise rang out from every corner of the Imperial city.
On the heels of that, hundreds of thousands of troops swarmed in. Each soldier of Allardland wore silver helmets and golden armor, their countless auras permeating the air above the imperial city.
