The Elven Cultivator

The jet-black water droplet was no bigger than a fingernail.

But the moment it appeared, the temperature in the entire pass plummeted.

An indescribable weight settled over everyone, as if a massive boulder was suspended above their heads.

Sieg and Bullock, who were closest, were the first to notice the anomaly. Their gazes grew grave as they looked at the jet-black water droplet above Anton's palm.

From those three droplets, they sensed an aura that made them shudder uncontrollably.

The Power of Law!

What's more, it was a form of the Power of Law they had never encountered before—one that was incredibly pure and potent!

'An intermediate Law? No, an intermediate Law couldn't put this much pressure on me... Could it be a superior Law?'

A shocking thought flashed through Sieg's mind, and he couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.

'Is this the Power of Law Anton awakened?'

At the same time, the five Governors, who were struggling against the bombardment of Celestial Thunder, also sensed the aura of the Dark Heavy Water. Their pupils constricted in unison.

'What is that now?'

'Just how many trump cards does this guy have?'

With a calm expression, Anton flicked his finger.

The three drops of Dark Heavy Water instantly transformed into three streaks of inky light, shooting silently toward Kenneth.

Kenneth's expression changed drastically.

The "Ripple Law" he had awakened granted him astonishing Perception Power, allowing him to immediately sense the terrifying energy contained within those three droplets.

They were clearly just three small droplets of water, but in that instant, they felt like heavy mountains crashing down on him.

Kenneth wanted to retreat and dodge, but he was pinned down by the Celestial Thunder. He could only watch helplessly as the Dark Heavy Water sped toward him.

Horrified, he had no choice but to unleash his Power of Law with all his might. Layers upon layers of Water Curtains materialized over his body in an attempt to block Anton's attack.

The first drop of Dark Heavy Water silently struck the Water Curtain.

There was no roar, no explosion.

There was only a faint HISS, like a red-hot piece of iron being plunged into water.

The Water Curtain instantly shattered, exploding into a fine mist.

Fortunately, it had managed to block the first drop of Dark Heavy Water, which dissipated upon impact.

But before Kenneth could catch his breath, the second drop of Dark Heavy Water followed close behind and struck him in the chest.

His Extraordinary Level Scale Armor held for only an instant before shattering like it was made of paper.

The inky droplet sank into his chest, spreading rapidly like a drop of ink in clear water.

Kenneth's body suddenly stiffened.

He didn't even have time to scream before the third drop of Dark Heavy Water pierced through his skull.

Blood splattered.

Kenneth's figure froze abruptly. The light in his vertical pupils rapidly dimmed, and his body swayed twice before crashing to the ground.

The entire exchange, from Anton's attack to Kenneth's death, was over in the space of a single breath.

Sieg and Bullock stood frozen in place, their eyes filled with utter disbelief.

That was a Golden Peak expert!

A Golden Peak expert who had awakened the Power of Law!

'Just like that... he died?'

The faces of the four remaining Governors paled, their vertical pupils filled with horror.

'Even if Kenneth wasn't skilled in defense... even if he was preoccupied with resisting those incredibly powerful lightning bolts and couldn't mount a full defense... he still shouldn't have been killed in a single exchange!'

'What in the world was that Law?'

For the first time, the four of them felt a sense of powerlessness, as if things were completely out of their control.

They had thought this was a guaranteed victory. Even when they realized the tables had turned and *they* were the ones being ambushed, they had remained confident, not taking their opponents seriously in the slightest.

Who would have thought that less than two minutes after the battle began, one of their own would fall.

This was completely beyond their expectations!

For a moment, all four Governors couldn't help but think of retreating.

But just then, the continuous bombardment of Celestial Thunder finally ceased.

The lightning in the sky receded like a tide, revealing the clear, bright sky once more.

The center of the pass, however, was now completely unrecognizable.

The ground had been plowed by lightning and fire, leaving countless charred ravines. It looked like a vision of hell.

The four Governors stood in the middle of the devastation, looking utterly wretched.

Their armor was shattered in many places, revealing charred flesh underneath. Their auras were also noticeably weaker than before.

But before the four Governors could even catch their breath, Anton barked an order.

"Now!"

The moment he spoke, the Sword Pill hovering around him blazed with brilliant light. It shot out like a bolt of sword light, splitting in two mid-flight as it streaked toward Wood.

The Five Camp Divine Soldiers also sprang into action, dragging another Governor into their Five Elements formation.

Shaken from their stupor, Sieg and Bullock immediately executed the pre-arranged plan, each choosing an opponent and charging forward.

The battle erupted once more, but this time, the tables had turned.

Having lost a comrade, the Governors no longer possessed their previous arrogance or certainty of victory.

In contrast, the morale of the Fallen Dragon Association's members had soared.

All doubt had vanished from the hearts of Sieg and Bullock. Their confidence in Anton had surged.

Even though the Governors still technically outnumbered them, their opponents were injured. They felt no fear.

Now that things had reached this point, the worst-case scenario was that the plan would fail.

It couldn't be called a failure by any means.

No matter the outcome, being able to kill one Governor was already an excellent result for the Fallen Dragon Association.

Wood's gaze was fixed on Anton opposite him.

Seeing that Anton didn't use that move again, nor did he pull out any other tricks, he secretly sighed in relief.

'It seems that although that move was terrifyingly powerful, its cost must also be huge, making it impossible to use consecutively.'

'Thank goodness. Otherwise, I would've turned and fled without a second thought.'

At this thought, the horror in Wood's heart gradually gave way to a vicious resolve.

'It's been years since Kresol Dragon City lost a Governor in battle.'

'An ironclad rule, held for over a thousand years, was just broken on our watch. If we just slink back now, there's no way we can face Lord Aurion.'

'We have to kill Canglan here today!'

'And Sieg and Bullock too!'

A blazing killing intent gradually welled up from the depths of Wood's heart.

'As long as Canglan can't use that move again, I don't think I'll lose a one-on-one fight.'

His resolve hardening, Wood suddenly lashed out. His claw, wreathed in a blazing red glow, shot forward to viciously snatch the incoming sword light.

His "Foundry Law" was a derivative Law of Fire Elemental Power.

Though it was only a low-grade Law, it was extremely potent in actual combat.

It could soften, melt, and reshape matter. Metal and rock alike were as fragile as clay in his grasp.

Even Extraordinary Level Magic Equipment wouldn't last long before being melted into a useless lump by his Power of Law.

As Wood snatched the sword light, the blazing red glow immediately surged toward it like a tide, enveloping it layer by layer.

A flash of triumph crossed Wood's eyes. Just as he was about to channel his Power of Law to accelerate the melting process, he froze.

The silver sword light merely trembled before erupting with a brilliant radiance. A layer of invisible Sword Qi burst from its surface, slicing and tearing through the red glow.

Far from melting, the sword light grew even brighter, like fine steel tempered in a forge, its edge honed to an incredible sharpness.

'How is this possible?'

Wood's pupils constricted.

'My Foundry Law can melt even Extraordinary Level Magic Equipment, yet it's useless against a beam of sword light?'

Anton noted his change in expression, a faint smile playing on his lips.

The Sword Pill was refined using the Devouring Spirit Dao. It was forged from the essence blood of a Rock-Horned Dragon and seeded with his own Sword Qi, making it incredibly hard and sharp from the very beginning. After years of being nurtured by his True Essence and fed with the blood of the Dragon Race, it had long since surpassed the realm of ordinary Magical Artifacts.

Even if the Foundry Law could melt metal, it couldn't harm the Sword Pill in the slightest.

BUZZ!

The sword light trembled violently!

Wood felt a sudden, sharp pain in his palm and hastily let go of the sword light.

The sword light circled in the air like a roaming dragon before splitting into two.

At the same time, the other sword light also divided into two.

Four beams of sword light, like four silver drakes, writhed and circled in the air, emitting a clear, ringing hum.

Wood's expression instantly froze.

Anton gave him no time to react. The four beams of sword light shot out from four different directions, faster than lightning. Their trajectories were cunning and unpredictable, making them impossible to defend against.

Wood was completely on the defensive. He blocked and dodged with all his might, but was still forced back step by step, looking utterly pathetic.

His expression grew uglier and uglier.

He had originally thought of taking the offensive, but now, forget attacking, even defending was becoming a struggle.

While fighting, Anton also took a moment to observe the situation on the other two battlefields.

A chilling aura emanated from Sieg, condensing fine ice crystals in the air. With each swing of his sword, a wave of frost surged forth, forcing his opponent back again and again.

It was obvious he had awakened the Ice Freezing Law.

This was a low-grade Law, a secondary derivative Law of Water Elemental Power.

His opponent was a Governor who had awakened the "Radiance Law," and was shrouded in a dazzling golden light. Wherever the light touched, ice melted amidst rolling waves of heat.

The Radiance Law was also a low-grade Law, a secondary derivative of the natural Law of the Sun.

One was ice, the other was light. Their Powers of Law could be considered to counter each other, so they should have been evenly matched.

It was just that the Radiant Governor had been injured in the earlier Celestial Thunder bombardment and was now at a slight disadvantage.

Things weren't going as smoothly for Bullock.

His opponent had awakened the "Deflection Law" and was surrounded by an invisible force field.

Every time the Dwarf's War Axe came crashing down, an invisible force would divert it just before it made contact. It was like striking oiled glass; most of the blow's power was nullified.

"Dammit! Is dodging all you know how to do?"

Bullock was so furious his beard bristled. He raged, swinging his War Axe with enough force to create gusts of wind, but every blow was deflected, leaving only distorted ripples in the air.

Anton watched for a moment and noticed no obvious manifestation of a Law when Bullock attacked.

This situation would only occur with the lowest-grade Laws.

This was because the lowest-grade Laws were typically enhancements to physical attributes and generally lacked overt visual manifestations.

For example, the "Adamant Wall Law" was just a simple enhancement of defensive power, which was difficult to see from the outside.

Bullock's physique didn't seem particularly exceptional, so the Law he'd awakened was probably unrelated to strength, defense, or speed. It was most likely a Law related to stamina or regeneration.

For example, "Toughness" or "Healing."

And as Anton observed the other battlefields, the other three Governors, as well as Sieg and Bullock, were also diverting their attention to watch his fight unfold.
