Tempest of the Battlefield Chapter 436: Counterfeit Einherjar

Chapter 436: Counterfeit Einherjar

Translator: Oneshotwonder Editor: Hitesh_

Lee Moshan cast a stern glance at Einherjar Wannabe. The chill in the former’s eyes made Wang Tong’s hair stand on their ends.

Thanks to the training under Mr. Wannabe, Wang Tong was able to adjust himself quickly, and didn’t let his opponent’s imposing manner get the better of him. Nonetheless, Wang Tong reckoned that he had to be extra cautious, since this was a real fight in a deadly environment. Even without the threat of his opponent, he would quickly perish without proper protection against the elements.

Doubts flickered in Lee Moshan’s eyes. He could only charitably assume that Einherjar Wannabe was better equipped inside than the METAL he wore outside.

Was his opponent really an Einherjar like everyone had claimed? Such unorthodox METAL suit and unorthodox tactics!

“I am Lee Moshan, and this is my Thunder Blade. What should I call you?” Lee Moshan introduced himself coldly.

“Einherjar Wannabe. A no account, just wanting to have some fun!” Wang Tong said in a nonchalant and witty tone.

Lee Moshan’s face knotted; his opponent’s voice sounded like a fledgling.

“Fine, if you so choose. Let’s begin!”

Before Lee Moshan’s voice faded away, lights burst out from the energy crystal atop his helmet and flooded the dark, unforgiving space.

This was the light that only belonged to Einherjars. This was the power of a demi-god!

If it were a new Einherjar such as Patroclus, he might find it hard to unleash his deadly force in the outer space, but it was not a problem for a veteran like Lee Moshan.

The process of transforming the soul energy into damage output through the Mastery was much easier on a planet where the substance of various attributes was abundant than in the absolute vacuum of the space. Unknown to most people, a primordial force flew freely in the space, although only a handful of top warriors could harness it.

Wang Tong was quickly overwhelmed by his opponent’s overbearing power, and Lee Moshan felt his hesitation as well.

Lee Moshan registered that something was amiss: if his opponent were really an Einherjar, he shouldn’t have been surprised by the power. However, if the mysterious fight were not an Einherjar, how could he have defeated so many powerful opponents?

Wang Tong quickly gathered himself. Although he was not yet an Einherjar, he had the valuable aid of his Soul Essence. It was the power of the soul essence that had thrown Lee Moshan’s senses off.

Before Wang Tong could decide on an opening move, his opponent was already charging toward him, carrying the momentum of a mountain. Wang Tong registered that Lee Moshan’s power was much deadlier than that of Patroclus.

Energy gushed towards Wang Tong from all directions, and it was not a move that could be quickly pulled off by a mortal. Luckily, this was not Wang Tong’s first time fighting against an Einherjar, and therefore, he had expected such a struggle. He shifted his body left and right, trying to find a breakthrough, and he did.

Suddenly, Wang Tong’s body flickered out of the view and reappeared a dozen feet away from where he was floating, out of harm’s way. This one-second evasion was what set Wang Tong apart from 99 percent of the warriors in the world.

Although Wang Tong was out of the way, he blushed as if he had made a serious mistake. He knew that his opponent had detected the flaw in his last movement since he was off six feet from where he was aiming to land.

Wang Tong’s soul essence could bring the soul energy up a few notches so that it was on par with that of an Einherjar, and Wang Tong had tapped directly into Mr. Wannabe’s GN force so that he didn’t have a disadvantage in that respect. However, since neither of the powers belonged to him, Wang Tong could not control them with ease.

Mr. Wannabe had given Wang Tong full access to his GN force as he reckoned that Wang Tong had grown up and needed to learn how to control his power.

Mettle and bravery were only half of the recipe for victory; the other half was finesse and cunning.

Lee Moshan was at a loss again, as it was clear as daylight that his opponent lacked the basic ability to control his power.

Could it be that he was not used to fighting in space? Lee Moshan decided that he should observe more before he made a judgment.

Lee Moshan floated in the space as the outline of his haughty figure was highlighted by the bright light coming off from the energy stone. Suddenly, a burst of energy shot out of the stone, and almost simultaneously, Lee Moshan sliced the space in front of him with his arms. Two bright Blade Aura materialized out of thin air, forming a cross that charged at Wang Tong. As the blade aura flew towards Wang Tong, it increased in size. In a blink’s time, it had grown to the size of a small spaceship.

Wang Tong knew that he could no longer fight so passively; it was time to face his opponent head on!

While thinking, Wang Tong raised his fist and channeled GN force into it. As he tapped deeper into the primordial force in space, he felt a gush of energy running generously into his sea of consciousness. Mr. Wannabe was helping him with his power. With a newfound confidence, Wang Tong doubled down on his counter-attack and buried his fist into the center of the cross.

After a bright flash of light, the cross disappeared, and Wang Tong was unharmed.

Despite being ill-equipped, Wang Tong was able to fend off the deadly attack of an Einherjar.

The Cross had shattered into millions of tiny fragments, most of which evaporated into thin air almost as soon as they formed. Some larger chunks of fragments could still be seen around the two warriors, as the omnipresent stars surrounded them in the sea of nothingness.

With such power, Lee Moshan could have easily eliminated a Level Six fighter.

“Incredible!” Zhang Jin exclaimed. How much did she wish that it was her in that suit of Einherjar METAL?

Zhang Jin was not alone in her excitement, as every young boy and girl watched the screen and wished that they would become as powerful as the two Einherjars one day.

In addition to envy and admiration, the audiences also felt unnerved by Einherjar Wannabe’s poor equipment. Although he had proven his might in his previous fights, he should have taken the fight with a real Einherjar more seriously.

“What’s wrong?” Zhang Jin asked Patroclus who pulled a tout face.

“Something is not right,” Patroclus said as he bit his nails nervously.

“What is it?”

“Einherjar Wannabe is much weaker than he used to be.” Patroclus was a keen observer, and he had caught the small changes in Einherjar Wannabe’s movement. It was too overwrought compared to his earlier performance.

Disappointment flickered in Lee Moshan’s eyes. Based on his opponent’s last counter strike, he had already gotten his number, and it was a letdown. At the very most, the so-called Einherjar Wannabe was at the same level as the youngster Patroclus.

However, Lee Moshan had already accepted the challenge, and therefore, he needed to finish it.

“KOM!”

Although the audiences couldn’t hear the sound in the space, they knew that Lee Moshan was about to bring the battle to its end.

Standing face to face with an Einherjar, Wang Tong watched and observed carefully.

In the eyes of the amateurs, Einherjar Wannabe was doing very well. It seemed that the mysterious fighter’s counterattack had aggravated the real-life Einherjar to unleash his full power—a nod to his opponent’s strength.

However, that was far from the truth. Wang Tong could feel an immense pressure coming at him from all sides. The Battle Qi was so aggressive that he couldn’t even move an inch. Maybe it was for the better since a daring movement might evoke the fire of retribution.

The dire situation made Wang Tong reflect on his training with Mr. Wannabe. As he did so, he realized that Mr. Wannabe had held back his power for the sake of safety. In addition, it was questionable whether Mr. Wannabe would be able to unleash his full power in the crystal space even if he wanted to.
