Translator: EndlessFantasy Translations Editor: EndlessFantasy Translations
“Who is so bold?” Bayan looked brave but he could barely stand up straight. He tried to show a calm expression but his slightly trembling voice betrayed him.
Appearing like the wind was Miss Sophie. She ca out from the side looking as if she just experienced hardships and shouted. “Who dares to behave atrociously!” Sophie was aware of the identity of her guests and knew that not many people in the Empire would dare offend them. As a result, her voice was louder than usual.
As soon as Sophie shouted, at least 7 to 8 robust n imdiately ca running out from the side door. Each man held a long black rod, while two of the leading n also held swords. It looked like they were warriors.
When Bayan saw the n that appeared, he cald down and shouted. “Enough nonsense! Kill him! I will be responsible for his death!”
The intruder laughed in disdain. At this ti, from behind the intruder, a man calmly walked in. The man was also tall and he wore the clothing of a noble’s attendant. His yellow hair and long nose made it evident that he was from a different nation. His face was squarish and he had a sturdy body. His whole body seed to emit a violent and murderous sll. Rody had seen such temperant before from Randt at ho when he swung his sword. The man’s eyes swept across and then he laughed in disdain. “Kill us? Do you have the ability?”
Bayan looked unhappy. He had never t anyone who dared to be so presumptuous towards him before in the Imperial Capital. He looked at the foreigner and imdiately exclaid. “Why are you standing there like idiots? Kill the both of them!”
When they heard the order, the robust n roared and rushed forward. Rody watched and frowned. He had a bad feeling about this.
Sure enough, before the guards could reach the front, the barbarian already punched down a few of them with his fists. Before the two warriors could even slash, one was punched in his chest and flew away before he could even groan. The other warrior had his sword grabbed and broke into two by the barbarian with his arm strength.
The warrior was stunned. He did not know whether he should continue to attack desperately or turn around and flee.
The barbarian laughed as he grabbed the warrior by the lapel, easily lifting him up before throwing him out of the room.
“So, this is the strength of your ‘warriors’?” The man wearing the noble’s clothing laughed.
Bayan’s face turned pale. His hand held onto the hilt of his sword but hesitated to unsheathe.
Rody slowly stood up and stared at the barbarians. Myka hid behind him and trembled slightly. One of her hands held tightly onto his shirt.
“Who are you?” Bayan gnashed his teeth. “Do you not know who we are?” Although his words were ant to intimidate, it ended up showing his cowardice.
“I am the prince of the Great Moon Kingdom, Sultan1! Do I care about who you are? Not only you, even if your Emperor were here he would need to be polite with !” Sultan smiled coldly. Suddenly, he saw Myka hiding behind Rody. He showed a stunned expression before smiling. “I have finally found you! I ca here looking for the Imperial Capital’s famous beauty Miss Myka. I do not want anything else. I just want to see her and now I want to take her with . Nothing will happen if you all behave.”
Sultan smiled and walked towards Rody. He then stretched out his hands to pull Myka.
Rody was angry and whispered. “Do not worry! I am here. I will not let him take you.”
Myka was shivering but showed a surprised expression when she heard what Rody said. She noticed Rody had a strange look.
“Move aside.” Sultan glared at Rody.
Rody pulled Myka behind him and said in return, “Get lost!”
Bayan’s face turned purple and quietly said. “Seth... Enough.... Forget it.”
Rody spared Bayan a cold glance and spoke again. “No!”
“No?” Sultan laughed loudly. He spoke loudly and eagerly. “We have defeated several tens of thousands of your troops.! We have even defeated your high-ranking warriors! In comparison, who are you?”
Rody gritted his teeth and stared at Sultan, in front of him. Without saying a word, Rody pulled out his sword.
Although he did not know who Myka was, he knew that she was probably one of Seth’s lovers. As a man, in this scenario, it was absolutely impossible to retreat.
“Good!” Sultan raised his eyebrow. “It seems like you still have a backbone! Rondor2! Kill him!” He then stepped back and watched Rody with interest.
The barbarian imdiately strode up and looked at Rody, from head-to-toe. He grinned and smiled. “Young boy! Co on!” the barbarian said. He then gave Rody a punch to knock him down.
Rody snorted. He reacted by slashing at the arm of Rondor. However, he only heard the sound of tal clashing. Rondor’s arm was not injured in the slightest.
“Fool! He has an armguard!” Andy’s voice sounded in his ears.
Soon, the other party started to smash around wildly. Rody did not dare to confront him head on, and he could only dodge. These days, his training of the whipping technique by Instructor Carter may not have improved his swordsmanship, but it had certainly improved his agility.
With a loud bang, the table that Rondor hit was split into two. The wines and dishes on the table were scattered everywhere. Rody took this opportunity to go around Rondor and slashed his waist. Once again, he heard the sound of tal clashing and did not manage to injure Rondor.
He must be wearing an armor! Rody suddenly thought.
Rody relying on his swiftness, continuously moved around Rondor while slashing him. Each slash was t with the sound of tal clashing. Although Rondor had already been slashed several tis, with that armor he was wearing, those slashes could not injure him.
Rody then roared and aid for his head but Rondor held his hands high to block it.
As soon as the sword slashed the arms, sparks appeared. Rody quickly jumped and kicked Rondor in the chest with all his strength. Rondor who was kicked, stepped back a few steps and shook his head. His eyes showed an ominous glint.
Rody held the sword with both of his hands and watched his opponent vigilantly. However, he has already started to breathe heavily.
Earlier, with those few strokes, Rody had already shown off his swordsmanship. Whether it was speed or skill, they were both good. Unfortunately, that had no effect on the monster in front of him and he really had no way out.
“Fool! If you continue fighting like this, you will end up dead!” Andy exclaid.
“What else can I do? That person is wearing such tough armor. No matter how I slash or stab, it does not affect him at all. He also has extrely frightening strength. I already kicked him as hard as I could but it only pushed him back 2 steps. Unless it is a broadsword or a lance, I would not be able to hurt him. But in my hands is just a normal sword, thin and long. It has no power at all.”
“What lance? If you had used that lighsaber, you would have already defeated him.” Andy roared angrily at Rody.
These words gave Rody an idea. He moved back and put both his hands on the hilt of the sword. He stared at Rondor quietly.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you want to fight anymore? Surrender?” Rondor sarcastically roared.
Rody said nothing but coldly glared back.
Sultan was initially laughing but his face soon changed. There was sothing odd about the young man in front of him.
Rondor also beca vigilant. He saw his opponent took a deep breath and lifted his sword.
Suddenly Rondor saw his opponent open his bright eyes and a dim golden light radiated from his body. The room suddenly dimd as the light concentrated on Rody’s sword. The sword that was supposed to only be made of iron was suddenly emitting a bewitching golden light.
Sultan’s face beca discolored as he involuntarily shouted. “Fighting energy? You actually know how to use fighting energy?”
Rondor eyes stung for a brief mont, and before he could clearly see, the sword had already slashed down.
When he noticed the silver-colored edge of the sword, half the height of a man striking down, it was already too late to dodge. Without a choice, he raised his arms to block it, protecting his head and chest.
After a loud bang, the lightsaber could be seen slashing Rondor’s arms. He scread and his steel armguards imdiately broke. Rondor’s body moved back about half a ter before flying and crashing into a wall, destroying a cabinet in the process.
His clothes were torn and the armor underneath was also tattered. Blood was all over his body. Even half of his pants was gone, revealing his black hairy thigh. There were also so deep bloodstained cuts.
Rondor’s entire body trembled, as he struggled to stand up. However, he could not move. He eventually fainted.
Sultan, who had lost his earlier arrogant deanor, rushed to Rondor and checked on his injury. He then stood up and said. “Good! Good! You actually broke his arms and ribs. What is your na? With that kind of skill, you cannot be an ordinary person!”
The mont Rody used that sword, he felt like his strength was drained. He felt weak as though he was going to faint. He struggled to stay standing. “I am Seth! Tulip family’s Seth!”
Sultan showed a sowhat astonished face. “Good. The Tulip family’s heir! Truly well-deserved reputation! I will rember it!”
A few foreigners wearing animal hide then rushed into the room and quickly lifted Rondor. Sultan looked at those few n in the room and left with them, without saying anything else.
Bayan sighed gently and whispered to Rody. “Don’t bother them anymore. Let them go.”
Rody already had no more strength. He could only smile and nodded after listening to those words.
The mont Sultan and his n were out of sight, Rody felt that he could hold on anymore as he swayed and collapsed. With a pondering expression, Myka who was behind him quickly rushed over to support Rody.

Translator’s Footnote
1 Original na given was Song Zan. As this is a translation of Chinese to English, a lot of the nas used by the author such as the main character ‘Luo Di’ has been translated to the obvious English version Rody. However, so nas like Song Zan are very vague in terms of its English version. Therefore, I did so research on nas starting with ‘S’. The nas that I found are Songaa and Sultan. Songaa ans ‘Strong’ in Native Arican while Sultan ans ‘Authority’ in Arabic. Since Song Zan is a Prince, I decided to go for Sultan.
2 Original na given is Long Duo Er or Long Duor. Since Luo Di is Rody, I assud that it is a na that starts with R to form ‘Rondo’. However, the Chinese na had three characters with the last one being Er. This made feel like the na ended with an ‘Er’ sound and so his na beca Rondor.
