Chapter 1749: Chapter 1749

If Charlemagne’s aura is like a raging flame, seemingly wanting to destroy everything, then Du You’s aura is as deep as the ocean. On the surface, it’s calm and can embrace everything, but within, it contains a force even more turbulent than madness.

Charlemagne frowned, his expression somewhat unpleasant, fearing that the newcomer’s strength might not be much weaker than his own.

From the aura, it seemed he’d never encountered this guy before. "Strange, who could it be? Could they truly be invited from other worlds, or strong ones from another part of Earth?"

Earth’s native powerhouses and those controlling worlds are often on different paths. Many controlled parts are strong but do not heed the Earth Alliance’s orders. They rarely interact under normal circumstances.

At this moment, a large number of arrow shadows suddenly appeared, encircling the surroundings. The aftermath of the previous battle was also blocked, preventing it from spreading further.

The two lions instinctively wanted to stop and observe, but their opponent did not grant them the chance, continuing their ferocious assault. Hence the battle halted briefly, then erupted again, even more violently than before.

Charlemagne’s figure gradually became apparent, his demeanor more like a star than a warrior. The Western sword at his waist glimmered, the golden aura on his body burning like flames—a truly handsome man. Even someone as self-obsessed as Du You couldn’t help but feel envious upon meeting him.

Du You didn’t hesitate either, slowly revealing his figure, confronting Charlemagne.

"So it’s you, the newly ascended Dark King, Lord Du You. I hadn’t expected your strength to have grown to this level. As a senior, I am truly shameful," Charlemagne’s eyes slightly narrowed.

"I didn’t expect the Mad Lion Elder to know of me. It’s a pity, in a different place, I think we’d have much in common. But since you’ve betrayed Earth, we are enemies now."

"Haha, betrayal? What betrayal? Without us, how would Earth develop? Is it wrong to desire something for myself? Does that count as betrayal?"

Though Charlemagne spoke as if it were entirely normal, in reality, the situation was quite different.

Self-centered people always think of themselves, wanting more upon receiving. When they get more, they desire everything, ignoring others’ contributions, always feeling the world owes them.

Charlemagne felt waves of frustration, never imagining his opponent this time would be the newly powerful Du You.

Having constantly evaded Earth’s pursuit and risen to this point, Charlemagne hadn’t been idle. He had meticulously established multiple forces on Earth as his spies.

Thus, he was aware of events on Earth. How could he not be familiar with Du You, who became remarkably famous recently? He even knew many of Du You’s abilities.

For instance, his dual professions explained why he had so many powerful summoned beasts. And Du You’s beasts were more than just two; if summoned fully, he would stand no chance.

This guy was already very close to the peak of the eighth tier. But in terms of combat power, why did he feel similar to himself?

The person before him seemed naturally good at fighting, a born warrior. Plus, he knew Du You had two absolute followers whose strength wasn’t likely far behind his own.

The surrounding barrier was released by one of these absolute followers.

With this barrier, if defeated, escape would be impossible. Unexpectedly, he was now in absolute crisis. What a disconcerting feeling.

But things had reached this point; Charlemagne had no other choices left.

"Very well, let me see how strong you truly are, young one."

He didn’t know Du You’s specific strength. After all, it was challenging for his planted agents to sneak into Earth’s upper class; obtaining this much information was already remarkably difficult, and his focus hadn’t been on Du You.

Du You’s approach was straightforward, never deliberating too much, nor consulting others. Even analyzing data was useless; once decided, Du You simply acted.

By the time they deduced where Du You might go, the battle here was already over.

Following the principle of striking first, Charlemagne instantly drew the Western sword in his hand, appearing immediately beside Du You. It seemed like instantaneous movement, but Du You knew it was due to speed.

Du You was not polite either, having fully released his perception ability. Though the skills hadn’t kept up with his rapid enhancement, and the level and effect weren’t entirely aligned, Du You could still channel their power.

Almost the moment Charlemagne appeared, Du You had already used Shadow Teleport to leave his previous spot.

A long sword stabbed into where Du You had just stood, the immense power causing the space to tremble. In this eighth-tier world, such an easy attack causing this effect demonstrated the previous attack’s might.

Du You felt tense; this guy’s combat power was indeed formidable, and dealing with someone skilled in speed was difficult.

With a wave of his hand, he released a Shadow Arrow Array, a large number of arrows shot towards the opponent. The most update n0vels are published on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⟡𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵

Unexpectedly, Charlemagne dodged among the arrows, using incredible movements to evade all attacks. His arrows also had homing capabilities.

Evading the lock-on and dodging at such close range must be due to a special skill.

While dodging, Charlemagne closed in again, and Du You knew he was truly difficult to handle.

Charlemagne transformed into multiple afterimages, making it hard to see clearly. It seemed like numerous people attacked him simultaneously, the horrific speed bewildering anyone unprepared, not realizing how they died. Even Du You struggled to track him with only his eyes, but fortunately, his spiritual perception was decent.

"No, I must restrict this guy’s speed, or I can’t fight him."

Du You felt somewhat fortunate to have already set up the Ten Thousand Arrow Barrier. Otherwise, facing someone so fast, even if he could win, he wouldn’t be able to capture him in the end. It’s truly puzzling how his speed was strengthened to this level.
