The Herb King

Chapter 319 Altina’s Divine-Rated Swords

Amishta was the last person to step into the Transportation Rune. Her vision blurred and when she regained her sense of sight, she saw a vast land with beautiful green hills and tall trees. The air no longer had this earthy aroma. Instead, a refreshing smell drifted into her nose. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the scent of the fresh air.

"Is this the civilized region?" She muttered as she slowly opened her eyes. She saw her tribesmen jumping around excitedly. There were even kids running along the grassland with big smiles on their faces. They all dreamed of one day having the chance to live in the peaceful civilized region and now they were here.

A few Barbarian warriors even cried tears of joy, feeling very emotional. This place will be their new home and they no longer had to worry about their safety and food every day.

"Do you like it here?" A gentle voice echoed behind Amishta. She turned her head and saw the beautiful elven woman, Irithel. The two of them grew quite close after experiencing a life-and-death battle together.

Amishta smiled as she replied. "Who wouldn't like it here? Thank you for giving us this opportunity."

Irithel shook her head lightly. "You don't have to thank me. I'm only following Aethelwolf's commands. If you want to thank someone, you should wait for him to come back and tell him in person. The Proud Tiger Tribe isn't the only Barbarian tribe he had taken in. That guy took in the entire Barbarian race of the Northern Region!" She chuckled at the end of her words.

Amishta already knew that Aethelwolf took in some Barbarian tribes, but she didn't know that he actually planned to take in the entire Barbarian race! She couldn't help but recall his handsome figure. A beautiful smile could be seen on her face as she thought of him.

"I won't stay here for long since there are still more tribes to be transported. Someone will come here soon and they will help you guys build your new homes. Don't shoot them with your arrows, okay?" Irithel giggled as she stepped into the Transportation Rune. Her figure blurred and disappeared.

Soon, the energy of the Transportation Rune was depleted.

Amishta stared into the horizon as she muttered. "We will protect this peaceful land..."

***

In the stadium of West Ocean City, Alec and Altina were told to come up on the stage. The winner of their battle will proceed to the final round to fight against Janrose.

Altina Azure was a dual wielder and she held one sword in each hand. The most shocking thing was that both swords were actually Divine-Rated artifacts!

On the other hand, Alec was holding an ordinary Unique-Rated sword. However, his aura was no weaker than Altina who possessed two Divine-Rated swords!

"This child is close to comprehending his own Sword Intent. In a few more years, he would be able to form an embryonic Sword Intent!" General Trevor muttered as he turned his gaze to Aethelwolf. He didn't know how this man trained Alec and Janrose.

"He is strong, but he still fell short compared to Altina." Eliazar sighed and shook his head. He also admired the young man Alec, but his level was too low compared to the crown princess of the Azure Phoenix Empire. If their level was the same, Alec could have won the fight easily with his superior comprehension and sword technique.

"Begin!" Omar shouted.

Altina was the first one to make a move. She knew that Alec would use the Divine Sword Movement so she planned to execute her attack before he could release the illusory sword. She sent a large stream of word essence into her swords which activated their inscriptions in the process. One of the swords was covered in searing white flame, while the other produced freezing snowflakes. Two opposing energies intermingled as Altina summoned a helical sword radiance that shot towards Alec.

"Ice Fire Sword Helix!" Altina's beautiful face was filled with coldness as she released the beautiful attack. Her long blue hair fluttered as fierce winds covered the arena.

Alec's face turned serious as he quickly chanted. "Divine Sword Movement, Second Sword Move: Unbending Sword Will!"

A huge incorporeal heavy sword appeared before him, blocking the helical sword radiance released by Princess Altina.

BAANNG!!

This was the second move of the Divine Sword Movement. A huge heavy sword will be summoned and it could be used to defend or attack.

Suddenly, cracks started to appear on the incorporeal heavy sword.

"Huh?!" Alec was stunned by the sight and he immediately injected a stream of world essence to strengthen the heavy sword.

He gritted his teeth as he poured his energy into the incorporeal heavy sword. Once this sword breaks, he would be severely injured by the helical sword radiance. He didn't expect Altina's first attack to be so deadly.

"Dammit! If only I had a Divine-Rated sword, things would have been different..." Alec muttered helplessly. He was too embarrassed to borrow Aethelwolf's weapons so he could only make use of his Unique-Rated sword. It was something he had gotten after their intense training.

Suddenly, Altina flashed a dazzling smile as she muttered. "Did you really think that you can block my swords?" She chanted a spell and sent more world essence into her swords.

"Ice and Fire Dragons Revolution!" The two helixes suddenly transformed into Fire and Ice Dragons. They roared threateningly before charging straight toward Alec with their mouths wide open!

ROOOARR!!

ROOOARR!!

Seeing this, Alec muttered regretfully. "I only comprehended a small portion of the third sword movement. What a pity..."

A blurry Yin and Yang image suddenly appeared in front of him as he executed the third move of the Divine Sword Movement. "Sword of Yin and Yang..."

The incorporeal giant heavy sword was already destroyed by the two dragons and turned into countless wisps of light. The power behind the two illusory creatures didn't decrease as they lunged toward Alec, but the Yin and Yang image managed to stop the advancing dragons!

Alec spat a mouthful of blood and staggered. The third sword move depleted a huge portion of his world essence, but he still didn't even manage to release the full potential of the technique. "I-I'm still too weak..."

Cough! Cough!
