Chapter 1559: Chapter 1236: Pact Sealed
"I’ve lost," the old man said.
As Lael spoke, Su Yuan gently tapped the sword, and the chasm that separated the Death Realm from the present world suddenly vanished into nothingness.
Lael immediately stepped out, glancing back at the Spirit Summoning Vortex slowly contracting behind him, and let out a slight sigh of relief.
He could hide away early, but doing so in the Blue Sea Star was one thing; hiding in the Netherworld Hell was unbearable!
Su Yuan raised his hand, summoned back the Demon Soul, and dissipated the Oath of Returning Ruins, saying, "Lord Lael, I concede."
"Mythical Sword..." Lael came to the front, looking at Su Yuan with eyes full of somber admiration, "Royal Envoy Su, worthy of being the strongest talent of Great Flame for millennia!"
Su Yuan’s gaze landed on the young Lael, faintly perceiving the astounding power within the other.
Su Yuan said with a smile, "It was a clever move from me this time; otherwise, I might not have triumphed."
Lael shook his head slightly, speaking gravely, "To sever the passage between two realms, isolating the worlds of life and death, how could such a divine sword be called cleverness?"
Lael recalled the fierce battle, his astonishment growing ever more intense.
In truth, Lael did not really want Su Yuan to surpass him.
As long as the opponent performed impressively enough, worthy of the praise from Nephthys and Raymond, he could consider forming an alliance.
As for losing to the opponent... Although Lael had considered this, it was almost impossible.
Neither Raymond’s trial sword nor Constantin’s game represented the full measure of each party’s strength.
If it were in full force, how could a King Level renowned for thousands of years lose to a newly elevated New King?
At this level, everyone is a seasoned warrior, competing in divine skills and killing moves!
The more and stronger the divine skills, the greater the space for maneuver.
Even with Su Yuan’s exceptional talent and rapid progress, how many high-grade divine powers could he have mastered in such a short period?
It’s known that King Level is not like below King Level, where skills can be quickly enhanced by embedding Star Cards, as the embedded legendary skills can only reach up to Seventh Grade.
But after this duel, Lael realized deeply how wrong he was.
The opponent’s magic powers were limitless, the Holy Artifact methods varied, and especially that final Mythical Sword!
Even with thousands of years spent transmuting skills into Ninth-grade Great Divine Power, not one skill had broken through the myth.
Yet this young man, not even a hundred years old, mastered a mythical skill!
Such immense talent is beyond reason, no wonder Nephthys predicted that he would be the key to the great calamity...
At this moment, Lael already believed a bit.
"Lord, you praise too much." Su Yuan chuckled gently and switched the topic, "Then, what about the alliance...?"
"Since Royal Envoy Su has defeated me, what is there to say?" Young Lael shook his head with a smile, and then he resumed a serious tone.
"The Five Great Families, including this old man, will fully respond to the alliance between the Empire and Great Flame, together facing the calamity.
Moreover, should Royal Envoy Su have any needs, within our capabilities, the Five Great Families will assist thoroughly.
If the Empire acts against Great Flame during the alliance, we will resist fully, maintaining the alliance.
Does this sound agreeable to Royal Envoy Su?" Lael looked at Su Yuan.
Su Yuan’s eyes lit up, nodding, "Very good!"
Lael nodded slightly, raising his hand as the Netherworld Power before him flowed and transformed into a soul mark.
"A Soul Contract?"
Su Yuan felt quite surprised that Lael would form a Soul Contract with him, as such binding effect is much greater than other forms.
Immediately, Su Yuan formed a seal technique with his hand, similarly melding a divine thought into it.
With a flash of spirit light, the contract was established, and Su Yuan’s task this time was perfectly completed!
Su Yuan smiled and said, "Lord Lael, shall we leave first?"
Young Lael nodded, "Alright."
...
In the suite, Raymond and Alpha, two top experts of Qiguang, were quietly waiting at the table.
This battle had significant implications for the future of the Five Great Families and the Zhi Qiguang Empire. Raymond and Alpha wore solemn expressions, waiting silently, with no thoughts of conversation.
Suddenly, Ashley approached, placing a warm cup of coffee at Su Yuan’s seat.
"Hmm?"
Alpha and Raymond looked up at Ashley, their eyes slightly moving, was the outcome of the battle revealed already!
The pair stared at Ashley, trying to discern something from her gaze.
At this moment, the space began to ripple slightly.
Alpha and Raymond immediately stood up, and in the next moment, with a flash of silver light, two figures appeared again in the scene.
"Royal Envoy Su! La...el, Lord?"
Alpha looked surprised at Lael suddenly appearing before him, although the appearance and aura had notably changed, undoubtedly, this youth barely chest-high was Lord Lael.
Lael furrowed his brow, stepping back slightly from under the shadow of Alpha’s imposing presence.
"Hmm?!" Raymond widened his eyes, exaggeratedly leaning down to scrutinize Lael, "Old man, did you actually have such a ’form’? So you were this young when you were a kid!"
Raymond had seen Lael in his middle-aged state, but it was the first time encountering his youthful state, meaning... Su Yuan has reverted the old man’s form back to that of a youth?
Then, what could truly be the outcome of this battle...
"The Five Great Families will unequivocally support the alliance between the two nations."
As if understanding Raymond’s thoughts, Lael’s voice, both tender and slightly tinged with age, resounded.
