<h4>Chapter 786 - Very Strict</h4>


    The Zasfin kept fighting the Saber Hound for a bit more until his eyes lit up. An opening appeared in the enemy''s assault, which the Nascent Soul Zasfin immediately used to dash out. Naturally, the direction it chose was none other than where Agis and Mka were. "Die!"


    Mka and Agis looked at the Zasfin in panic, as if they didn''t expect that to happen. They tried to turn around and flee, but the Nascent Soul Zasfin was much faster. As for the Saber Hound, he was too far away to help because of the previous opening. However, just as the Zasfin was about to strike Agis and Mka down, their panicked expressions turned into cold smiles.


    Suddenly, their bodies exploded with Spiritual Energy as they changed directions. Instead of fleeing, they charged right at the Zasfin, much to the guy''s surprise. It was so unbelievable that the Zasfin failed to react in time. After all, he was almost at hitting range when Mka and Agis did that.


    ''Death Water Style, Second Form, Spinning Dragon Tails!''


    Mka''s counter-attack skill, Spinning Dragon Tails, immediately paired the Zasfin''s attack with the dragon''s head, while the dragon''s tail used the enemy''s strength to rotate Mka''s staff. Surprisingly, Mka aimed the attack directly at the Zasfin''s head! If it hit, the guy would be dead for sure. After all, that staff was none other than the one Rean made. It was as strong as Earth Peak-level equipment with the advantage of gathering Water Element on its own, which increased Mka''s power even more.


    However, a Nascent Soul Realm Zasfin was still no pushover. Even in that fraction of a second, the Zasfin seeded in raising his weapon to defend against the dragon''s tail. Unfortunately for him, Mka wasn''t the only one attacking.


    ''Chase of the Fire King Sword!''


    Agis shed down with his sword, aiming at the Zasfin''s blind spot the very moment he tried to defend against the dragon''s tail. His sword burnt with Fire Element and Yang Energy. Not only that, but Agis also added a hint of Light Element from the Light Equipment Rean made for him. It couldn''tpare to Rean''s Life Fire Skills, but it was still much better than not using it.


    Mka and Agis had trained thisbination many times. Since they were traveling together, they had to make use of each other''s strengths, after all. Sure enough, all of that training had paid off.


    *Swish!*


    *Thssssssss!*


    *Arrrgh!*


    The Zasfin noticed Agis with his Spiritual Sense but knew that it would be toote to defend, so he sent all his Spiritual Energy and Soul Power into the area where Agis would strike. Nevertheless, Rean''s sword wasn''t anything to joke about. The Zasfin was already lucky to not die instantly from that, thanks to his higher cultivation.


    *Boom!*


    Suddenly, a huge amount of Soul Power broke out of the Zasfin''s body as his Soul Mark left his forehead. That was the same skill Rean and Roan saw a couple of Zasfins use back in Fhanzen City. It was something that would destroy the Zasfin''s Soul Power forever once the burst was over. However, the Zasfin couldn''t care less about it right now. The Saber Hound was right on his tail, and with that much damage to his body, only death awaited. Obviously, it was better to be alive without Soul Power than to be dead.


    The Zasfin ignored everything soon after and disappeared into the distance. That power wouldn''tst more than a few seconds to at most a minute, so he had to be gone by that time. The Saber Hound didn''t pursue, though. It had seen the Zasfins use that technique to save themselves many times. That being said, the Zasfin would head far into the Zasfins'' defense line once he finally ran out of energy. Following the guy would just be tantamount to suicide.


    Instead, the Saber Hound looked at Mka and Agis as they gasped for air. Even though they disyed the power of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators for a moment, it still took a toll on their bodies. "That was quite impressive. There are very few humans in the entire Demon Beast Alliance''s army that can disy strength higher than their level." The Saber Hound then looked in the direction the Zasfin escaped before continuing, "Truth be told, that guy is probably dead already. The injury you inflicted on him was way too severe. If he survives, I doubt he''ll be able to fight any longer."


    Mka and Agis were taken aback by the Saber Hound''s words, though. With that, Agis asked, "Do you mean you know of other humans who can do the same thing?"


    The hound nodded as he replied, "Yes. If I''m not wrong, the leader of part of our army is also a human, a very strong one at that. Rumors say that he''s extremely strict. However, his army has been the most sessful one after the high-level experts joined the fray. In the end, he even got a few Stage Seven and Eight demon beasts under hismand. Of course, the point where you remind me of him is your greater strength for your level. From what I heard, he can fight Zasfins an entire realm above his own."


    Mka and Agis didn''t need to think much to know who the Saber Hound was talking about as Mka could not help but say, "That''s definitely Roan. It must be!"


    The Saber Hound looked in surprise at Mka and Agis as he asked soon after, "Since you know his name, does that mean you know him in person?"


    Mka and Agis nodded as one of them replied, "Indeed. We could be considered acquaintances, I guess."


    "I see..." The Saber Hound showed a knowing expression. "No wonder you can do something simr." After that, he asked something else, "Do you intend to join his army?"


    Mka and Agis felt a chill behind their backs when they heard that question.


    Unsurprisingly, right after that, Mka shook her head as she replied, "Ahem...there''s no need. He doesn''t need our help. He has his brother for that."


    Agis nodded vigorously. "Yes! We would make no difference there. We prefer to continue here."


    Naturally, the Saber Hound wasn''t against it, although he was confused with the frightened look on their faces. "Well, if you say so...anyways, we''ve talked for too long already. I''m going to help the demon beasts in the other fields. You two help clean this side since there''s no other Nascent Soul Zasfin nearby."


    Mka and Agis nodded in response to his words. Anything was better than being part of the ''very strict'' army in Roan''s hands.
