Imperial Crown.

Chapter 97: Not having you is very important to me

"Damn-"

Heleti ran to the main gate of the castle in panic, pushed the door open with both hands, and crawled in.

The Burning Embers spell ignited his cotton inner armor. Although the flames had long been extinguished, his skin all over his body was burning. However, at this moment, Helaiti did not care about his injuries. After rushing into the door, he immediately turned around and was about to close the door tightly.

However, as soon as Helaiti turned around, he saw an orange-red fireball growing bigger and bigger in front of him!
Exploded!

Although he mustered up his almost exhausted fighting spirit, Heleti was still hastily blown away by the aftermath of the fireball and fell to the ground, and his plan to close the door failed!
"Damn it, won't his magic power run out?!" Heleti cursed.

He rushed to the Iron Throne, slightly dazed.

This was his throne, made entirely of steel and polished to a shine. The dagger on the armrest had drunk the blood of countless people, and the spear spikes on the backrest had once made him very proud.

But now, it's time to say goodbye to it.

Taking a deep breath, Helaiti grabbed a meat-cutting dagger nearby and stabbed it fiercely at the bottom edge of the throne!
With a crackling sound, the monster leather at the bottom of the throne cracked, revealing a wooden box.

Opening the lid of the box, there were three crystal clear potions inside.

A light red healing potion, a scarlet rage potion, and a fighting spirit potion specifically used to replenish fighting spirit.

Fighting spirit potion is extremely rare even in the Iron Legion. Although this one is only of the first level, it can at least replenish Helaiti's fighting spirit by 20%!
As long as you drink it, there is still a chance of turning the tables!

"Hlati——"

Raven's roar echoed in the hall. In his right hand, he held the "Sandstorm" spear that originally belonged to Heleti. In his left hand, a magic core was broken. The energy flowing out was used by him to replenish the almost exhausted magic power.

"Hanging boots ghost!" Heleti glanced at Raven's figure and a hint of anger appeared in his eyes.

How dare you use my weapon against me! ?

Suppressing the roar in his heart, Heleti immediately grasped the potion and rushed to the throne in three or two steps. He bit off the cork of the fighting spirit potion and was about to pour it into his mouth!
The golden fighting spirit potion was extremely thick and flowed down the wall of the bottle. It was about to drip onto the tip of the tongue. Helaiti had already smelled the unique pungent smell of the potion and a ferocious smile appeared on his face!

As long as I replenish my fighting spirit, Raven, you will still die! !

But at this moment, Helaiti suddenly heard a whistling sound in the wind, followed by a loud bang!

The entire throne suddenly began to vibrate and hum like a giant bell. The power was transmitted to Helaiti, causing him to roll to the left almost instinctively. The next moment, a sharp gun blade pierced through the back of the chair and whizzed out, nailing into the wall!

It was Heleti’s “Sandstorm” spear!
At the same time, there was a slight sound of glass breaking. Heleti looked down and saw that the medicine bottle in his hand was covered with cracks due to the vibration just now.

A trace of panic appeared on Helaiti's face, and she hurried to raise it to her lips, but this small movement caused the bottle to explode.

The golden liquid medicine spilled onto the ground. The corners of Heleti's mouth twitched wildly. He stood up, turned around and roared:

“Raven—”

Raven, who was named, had no sense of "causing trouble". He moved his shoulders, and it was obvious that he was the one who threw the spear just now: "Helati, I returned the weapon you lost to you, why are you so excited?"

"...You are courting death!" A stream of hot air spurted out of Helaiti's nostrils, and murderous intent burst out in his heart!
Before, he had been trapped by Raven's endless spells, but now that the distance was only this short, there was no need for him to hide anymore.

There's still time to kill Raven and then run away!

As soon as he thought of this, Helaiti bent his legs and stepped on the ground. The bright yellow fighting spirit surged and two stone pits burst out on the ground. The whole person shot towards Raven like a powerful crossbow!

In mid-air, Helaiti clenched his fists, straightened his left leg and bent his right leg, twisted his waist suddenly, and swept his right leg wrapped in solid armor towards Raven's eyebrows!
The latter took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes slightly. A flash of silver light passed by, which was the sign of using the Eyes of Truth.

This was not a simple sweeping kick. Helaiti's right hand was hidden at his waist, ready to strike. Once Raven chose to dodge, he would be hit in the chest by this punch the moment Helaiti's left leg landed on the ground!
Even without weapons, Heleti's martial arts are still amazing!

Raven, who saw through Helaiti's intention, did not dodge, but stood still and kicked forward!
boom--

Put the soles of your feet together!
At the moment of the collision, the soft-soled leather boots on Raven's feet cracked into white marks and disintegrated, and the fighting spirit on Helaiti's feet also dissipated instantly, and even the soles of his boots were dented!
Helaiti spun in the air and then staggered to the ground. His face was pale with a hint of red. He breathed in cold air and a trace of cold sweat ran down his forehead.

Although the exhaustion of fighting spirit and magic power will affect the physical fitness of the extraordinary person, Helaiti is a third-level extraordinary person after all. The attack with fighting spirit just now could only match Raven's!
Where does this Raven get such great power?!

Raven was pushed back six or seven steps by the recoil force before he finally stood firm. His face was pale, but he had a confident smile on his face.

The body that has been strengthened by magic cores four times is theoretically not inferior to that of an ordinary second-level transcendent. Now that he has fought with Helaidi, this has been further confirmed.

This battle can be won!

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Raven slowly spread his left leg in front and his right leg behind, lowering his center of gravity, and at the same time hooked his middle finger at Helaiti as if provokingly.

Having been rampant on the Bloody Highlands for many years, Helaiti had not been provoked like this for a long time. He tore off his deformed combat boots, stepped on the ground barefoot, hooked his ten toes on the carpet, and used his calves to tear the carpet into pieces while charging towards Raven like a bull!

At the same time, Raven also took a step, but his feet did not exceed his knees. His legs moved forward alternately as if wading through mud, like a spider walking on water!
When the two were less than five meters apart, he clenched his left fist and put it to his waist, crossed his legs and turned sideways, and then smashed his right hand wrapped in fighting spirit towards Raven's right eye socket!

Raven did not dodge or evade. He clenched his teeth and stretched out both hands. His left hand formed a claw and rushed straight towards Helaiti's eyes, while his right hand clenched into a fist and hit the other's exposed chest!
The two men were of similar height and arm span, and they attacked at almost the same time. If this continued, Heleti would be able to smash Raven's head, but he would also have to say goodbye to his eyes forever!

"madman!"

Helaiti would never exchange his own eyes for Raven's life, so he immediately changed his moves. He pushed Raven's left hand away with his right hand, and then stretched out his left arm like a poisonous snake and poked Raven's right elbow!

boom--

The four arms intersected with a dull sound, tearing the carpet under the feet of the two men and turning the floor tiles into powder!

According to Heleti's expectation, they should separate briefly and then start over, but Raven did something that was completely beyond his expectations.

Raven's mouth cracked into an almost crazy smile, he suddenly raised his head, and then slammed down!
Helaiti's pupils trembled violently.

I'm wearing a helmet and visor!
"You are crazy—"

thump—

Raven's forehead hit Heleti's head like a sledgehammer, and his head was immediately broken and blood spurted out!

However, Heleti's visor was deeply dented, and the bent metal pierced Heleti's flesh. The horrible pain made him scream:

"what--"

Fighting spirit exploded, Heleti pushed Raven back fiercely, and then fumbled around on his head. "Ugh..." With a low cry of pain, Heleti finally took off his helmet, only to see that his nose had completely collapsed, and the deformed visor had cut deep wounds on the edges of his eye sockets, with the skin and flesh rolled up, almost gouging out his eyes!

Before Helaiti could catch his breath, Raven didn't even bother to wipe the blood off his forehead and once again swam towards him like a spider.

Hleti could see it clearly.

An exaggerated smile appeared on Raven's blood-stained face.

A clown-like bloody devil smile!

He punched out with both fists, one at Helaiti's face and the other at his chest!

"Mad man, mad man, a fucking mad man——" Helaiti's heart trembled suddenly, and a trace of fear arose in his heart!
If this goes on, even if he can kill Raven, he will never be able to walk out of the hall alive!

Must run!

"Go away——"

Helaiti roared at the top of his lungs, and rushed towards Raven with his fists wrapped in some dull yellow sand. The fierce fighting spirit squeezed out the air with a bang, covering Raven's ears!
Before the fist arrived, Raven's hair had already started to be cut off bit by bit, and blood marks appeared on his ears!
But at this moment, Raven suddenly disappeared from Helaiti's eyes.

No, it didn't disappear, but it suddenly squatted down, then twisted its body and suddenly jumped up!
Deng!
The top of his head hit Helaiti's chin, shaking his brain and causing him to bite off a small piece of his own flesh while feeling dizzy and his body unconsciously moving backwards.

Raven seemed to feel no pain at all. He grabbed Helaiti's shoulders with his arms, spread his arms out in a spread-eagle position, and then hit Helaiti's head madly, one after another!

Boom, boom, boom——

There was a sound of heads colliding and blood splattered everywhere. Helaiti wanted to attack Raven, but his arms were spread apart and he couldn't touch the other party at all. The yellow sand and fighting spirit gushed out, but it could only cut out streaks of dust on the ground!
The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time...

Heleti had completely lost his strength, his mind was as confused as a pot of paste, his forehead was eroded, and there was black blood in his mouth and nose!

"Hey-ah!"

The seventh impact!
boom--

Sweat mixed with blood splattered everywhere. This time, Raven finally let go of his hands, supported his knees and gasped, letting the blood on his forehead drip down. He felt the blood in his body boiling like never before!
Heleti tried hard to keep his balance, but his brain was no longer able to issue accurate commands. He staggered backwards like a drunk, and then fell to the ground with a thud.

The shouting and screaming outside gradually stopped. Raven straightened up, took out the enchanted sword from his belt, and walked towards Helaiti step by step.

As if sensing Raven's murderous intent, Heleti raised his head, barely opened his eyes that were swollen like goldfish, and moved forward little by little.

"Ho...ho..."

After struggling to climb to the edge of the Iron Throne, Heleti tried to support his body with both hands, but slipped down.

Up again, and slid down again.

"Do you need help?" Raven's voice sounded behind him.

Hearing this, Heleti didn't know where he got the strength from, and he suddenly exerted force with both hands and threw himself onto the throne.

He turned around with difficulty and saw that the throne was covered in blood.

"Don't kill me..." Heleti looked dazed and said weakly, "I can give you money, a lot of money!"

"Ten thousand... no, thirty thousand... fifty thousand!!"

"Fifty thousand gold coins!! Let me go!"

Raven's fingers stroked the blade of the rapier. "What do you think is more important to me, money or you?"

There was a hint of doubt in Helaiti's eyes: "...Am I important?"

Without waiting for Raven to answer, he quickly said, "No, money is important!"

“Neither is right.” Raven shook his head slowly:
"It's important to me without you."

Before he finished speaking, Raven had already thrust his sword into the opponent's throat.

Helaiti's eyes were wide open, almost popping out of their sockets. He wanted to stop Raven, but he no longer had any strength!
The sword thrust forward, and then cut across: "From today on, everyone on Bloody Heights will know."

"The one who killed the Sand King - Raven!"

Blood splattered, and Heleti's head rolled down and fell into his own stiff hands.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded, and Volaf, covered in blood, strode in with his personal soldiers. Seeing the scene in front of him, he shouted in surprise: "Is Heleti really dead?!"

Then he saw Raven with blood all over his face. His heart trembled and he swallowed carefully: "Baron, how are you...?"

"It's okay, just a superficial wound." Raven put away his sword and asked, "How is it going?"

Seeing that although Raven was covered in blood, his voice was steady and full of energy, Volaf was relieved and excited again: "Great victory!"

"The horse bandits have been mostly killed by our brothers. Some died, some escaped!"

"Miss Nancy and Margaret are fighting against Firebeard and Steelfang, and they have the upper hand!"

"A total of eighteen personal soldiers, six of them were seriously injured, and no one died in the battle!"

"But..." At this point, Volaf's face darkened: "There is one more matter that needs your personal judgment!"

"Nothing unexpected happened." Raven breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand: "Put everything else aside for now and call Nancy and Margaret back immediately!"

"But, Baron..." Volaf was a little surprised: "As long as you follow them, you can definitely keep Firebeard and Steel Fang!"

"Those two guys are nothing to worry about!" Raven grabbed Heleti's head by the hair and lifted it up:
"Gather immediately and rush to Eric's aid!"
