Ultra: Dark Shadow Mage, Founding a Magic Empire

Chapter 74: Competition! This is a way...

Beria was a man of action.

But this time it was not his own wish, but came from the seeds planted by Norman and the temptation of the Rebrando people.

This led to extreme inner conflict in him.

He felt that his country had betrayed him. Those people did not care about his achievements at all, but only admired Jian who had greater power.

He wanted power, but he didn't want to actually abandon his beliefs.

He wanted to go to the Plasma Spark Tower to get that powerful power, but then he remembered that the Plasma Spark Tower was the lifeblood of the Kingdom of Light. If he took it away, it would likely cause the Kingdom of Light to be frozen instantly...

And it is this kind of contradiction that torments Beria all the time!
It was in this contradiction that Beria spent another thousand years in confusion...

During this millennium, he did not go out to fight, but stayed at home, constantly honing his light and physical skills.

Today, he was out.

"Jian."

Belia arrived at the Space Guard Headquarters.

Because of the financial support from Baltan Trading Company, the survival rate of the warriors from the Kingdom of Light has greatly increased during this thousand-year battle, and the amount of supplies they brought back has also increased.

Not only did they pay off the new support loan, but they also signed an equal trade agreement with Baltan Trading Company.

The ruined Kingdom of Light was rebuilt and an outer space base was built, which is now the headquarters of the Space Guard.

Jian, who was discussing matters with someone, turned around. After seeing Beria, Jian took two steps forward happily.

"Beria? How are you?"

He held out his hand, wanting to get a closer look at his old friend.

Over the past thousand years, he would go back to find Beria whenever he had time, but Beria always avoided him. Now that he is finally willing to come out, that's a good thing!

"I want to compete with you to see if I have improved."

Belia kept his composure, trying not to let the growing anger in his heart explode. He wanted to compete with Jian to see how big the gap was now.

"Compete with me? Sure! Now?" Jian was a little surprised, but quickly agreed.

"Yes." Belia nodded.

"Captain..."

Several people participating in the discussion on the side were hesitant to speak; they were planning the next battle.

This battle is related to whether they can expel the Ampera Empire from the M78 Nebula. If delayed, it is likely to delay the war and may cause serious consequences.

But Jian waved his hand, and went to the arena with Belia and opened a private training room.

"Come on, Belia! Let me see how much my good brother has improved!"

The athlete untied his cloak and assumed the fighting stance he had taken during previous training.

When Belia saw this scene, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, and his heavy mood felt a little better.

"Okay, then I'll show you!"

Belia said as he rushed towards Jian. He was very fast and good at claw attacks, so he quickly swung out his four claws, blocking all possible spaces for Jian to escape.

"Well done!"

Jian laughed, stepped back, and actually raised his hands to hold Belia's arms!

Belia's pupils shrank, and then he changed his moves and attacked continuously.

But unfortunately, every move he made afterwards was blocked by Jian!
Even if Jian simply threw a punch, the powerful force could easily break his attack.

This is not a difference in skills, but a difference in physical fitness and strength!

He and Jian are no longer on the same level!
"Why, is this happening..."

Belia knelt down and stared at his hands in a daze. "You have made great progress, Belia. If I didn't have the true power, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to beat you."

Seeing this, Jian stepped forward and extended his hand to Belia.

Belia looked at Jian, and Jian smiled and stretched his hand forward again.

Looking at Jian's smile, Belia felt it was so dazzling, and Jian's words were so full of sarcasm...

What if there is no true power?
Haha, yes!
He has the power of inheritance, he is inherently stronger than me!

Strength...I need strength too!
"Snapped!"

Belia opened Jian's hand, stood up dejectedly, and walked towards his room.

Jian stared at his hands in a daze, then looked at his friend's back, and suddenly a sense of foreboding arose in his heart.

There was a voice in his heart telling him that he had to catch up! Otherwise, he might lose his good friend who fought side by side with him!
Just as he was about to follow, a combat alert sounded at the Space Guard Headquarters!
"what happened?"

After much hesitation, Jian finally flew towards the Space Guard.

Before he landed, he asked the people who came over about the situation.

"A monster squad from the Empera Empire is approaching us! They attacked one of our outposts but have been repelled. However, we found a large number of troops behind them! This is likely to be the final counterattack of the Empera Empire."

"They actually took the initiative to attack? Everyone prepare for battle! Let's try to defeat them in one go!"

"Yes!"

All Ultra Warriors responded and flew into the universe.

Lian Jian followed, ready to command at the front line.

And just after they left the Kingdom of Light, Belia also left the Kingdom of Light.

However, the direction he was heading was not the battlefield, but an area full of dark forces.

Right near Baltan Commercial Bank!
The Baltans use dark power, and the Land of Light also knows this.

But the Baltans are well disguised and only use dark power because of their home planet. They do not like fighting and prefer doing business.

Just because a dark environment is needed, a residential area was set up here at the business.

Belia came here. He wanted to find Kuidok and ask him if he could give him some dark power to try.

He really needs to become stronger!

"Is Quidoc here?"

Beria asked the front desk clerk at the business bank.

The Baltan at the front desk looked up and said, "It's Lord Belia. If you want to talk to the great merchant, I can help you get through."

"So easy? He must be very busy, right? Doesn't he need an appointment?"

"If it was anyone else, it would definitely be necessary, but His Excellency the Great Merchant has instructed that if it was Lord Belia who came to see him, he must be contacted immediately."

"I see... then please help me contact them." Belia nodded. He looked a little decadent now, and seemed a little unlike himself.

"I have already contacted them and opened a top-notch suite for you. Please follow me."

Beria was taken to a luxurious suite, and in the center of the room was an extra-large screen.

"Hello?" Soon, Kuidok's face appeared in front of Belia.

"Long time no see my friend! Why do you look so haggard?"

"Quidok... Never mind, to make a long story short, can you... help me find some... power?"

"Oh?"
