Chapter 1805: Chapter 1805

"My sons, I have arrived, Kobolds, you deserve to die." A massive oppressive force descended from the sky. Below, both Jackal Men and Kobolds were suppressed.

Several Jackal Men who were on the verge of collapse immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They never expected the Kobolds to be so troublesome, and under the same level, they were not a match for the Kobolds.

But at this moment, another force swept in, as a tall Kobold appeared from afar.

Holding a black flag in his hand, his eyes locked onto the Jackal Men ahead.

"The leader of the Jackal Men, eh? Although your power has reached tier seven, there seems to be some issues. Let me guess, you must have inherited the legacy from the previous generation and became a Land God, which allowed you to reach tier seven. How much of your strength can you exert once you leave the land you control?"

Indeed, the Jackal Man before him was a Land God. In other words, a divine spirit controlling a piece of land. On this land, he could exert strong power, but once he left, it was not the same. The further he was from it, the weaker his strength became.

This place was already at the edge of his controlled land, and the strength he could exert here was not as strong as on his home turf.

"Even so, you’re not someone who can handle this." The Jackal Man couldn’t believe the Kobold has reached tier seven.

With or without it, it’s a complete difference. As long as this tier seven appeared, even if killed by him, the Kobolds would no longer be considered the lowest slave race. Neither he nor others would find it easy to enslave Kobolds anymore.

This is the rule among Beastmen, where the strong are respected. Even races capable of nurturing strong individuals receive some privileges. Previously, a tier seven had never appeared among Kobolds, and they were deemed a race unable to produce tier sevens, thus useless to the Beastmen. It was for this reason that Kobolds became a race of slaves.

In fact, slave races like these are plentiful among Beastmen, occupying the vast majority of all races.

Now that the Kobolds have emerged prominently, it has made him quite uncomfortable. Kobolds are the best mining race in this world, and if they cannot be enslaved, what will happen to his mineral resources in the future?

But there’s no way around it, a tier seven has appeared, and even if he kills it, it won’t matter.

However, this time, if he succeeds in hunting it down, this region will still belong to him. And because of this victory, perhaps the lands he can control will expand further.

Below, all the Beastmen saw them appear and made way, halting the war just like that.

This is the rule of the Beastmen, where challenges between leaders often determine the outcome of wars. Hence, the leader of a Beastmen tribe is usually the strongest among them, without exception.

Moreover, this time is a high-stakes battle, with both sides at tier seven. Regardless of who wins, the other side must unconditionally surrender. Soon, both parties agreed to the rules.

If one side wins, all the other side’s members will become subordinates, and the land will be owned by the victor.

Furthermore, this is a fight to the death. If the Jackal Man leader dies, he will relinquish the land he controls, and it’s uncertain when he will reclaim another territory. For the Jackal Man, the stakes are much higher.

The other Beastmen stood aside, and the two leaders simultaneously engaged. The Jackal Man did not use the usual claws or swords but wielded a scythe. This kind of weapon is rarely seen among Beastmen.

The scythe carried a wild and intense aura, and Du You instantly recognized that it must be a kind of primal force belonging to the person’s law. However, this force was gradually evolving towards nature. Being a Land God involves integrating oneself into the world, though it was insufficient in time and degree.

Though Du You also cultivated Dou Qi, due to his essence being that of a Mage, this doppelganger primarily followed a magic-class path. He was one of the few mages among Beastmen, a priest.

But not an ordinary priest; he was a dark priest, adapted from dark power.

The flag in his hand was a tool for activating power and was actually a totem. Of course, given Du You’s special situation, having or not having this tool didn’t make much difference.

Du You’s spiritual power far exceeded that of an ordinary Beastman, making such external assistance essentially unnecessary.

Under the waving of the flag, a black cloud was formed, which was also modified based on his skills and adapted from the laws of this world. To attain this power, Du You had exhausted the resources he brought.

As the black cloud roiled, the strength of the Jackal Man leader diminished instantly and increasingly weakened over time. Within the black cloud, the Jackal Man leader found he could not locate his opponent.

At this point, the Jackal Man leader wanted to escape this place and regroup elsewhere.

But Du You wouldn’t give him this opportunity. With the flag aimed at the Jackal Man, a black power condensed.

A small black ball was refined in his hand, improved from the Shadow Spirit Light Ball and Energy Gathering Magic Cannon. Though small, this ball was extremely fast and powerful.

The ball shot at the Jackal Man in an instant, hitting his back before the Jackal Man leader could react. Clearly, this black cloud also slowed one’s reactions.

Unfortunately, the Jackal Man leader had no chance left. "This guy, unexpectedly inexperienced in combat, with limited means." Du You muttered to himself, surprised at how easy this battle turned out to be.

In truth, he always used his own strength as a benchmark, skewing his perception of strength compared to normal people. The rıghtful source is novel•fire.net

The defeated Jackal Man didn’t think much, only speaking aloud, "I hope you treat my people well." With that, the Jackal Man’s soul departed, flying into the distance.

Du You could only watch, for this is also a Beastmen rule. Duels, though sacred and inviolable, value tier seven and above combat power immensely. So those with tier seven power and higher, upon death, are not allowed to leave their souls behind.

Similarly, before their souls depart, they will leave their Origin Crystals behind; even tier eight Beastmen will separate their Origin. These become the spoils of victory for the winners.

On one hand, this protects the losers, and on the other, it allows the victors to easily gain spoils to enhance themselves. The Beastmen upper class relies on this method, which enables step-by-step cultivation of numerous powerful beings.
