Chapter - 1725

Meanwhile, Old Hughes could be seen leading the shadowy figure and a few men across a mountain range that was surrounded by flames. With lava and fire everywhere, it made the mountain not only feel hot, but also rather intimidating…

The group was here to help the shadowy figure obtain the Sword of Might, which—just like the Fishgut Sword which was also born in the same generation—was an ancient weapon. While such swords had restrictions as to who was able to wield them, if the sword deemed the user worthy, then the wielder would be granted the sword’s powers, and each sword naturally had different powers.

Regardless, now that the Fishgut Sword was in Gerald’s hands, it was the shadowy figure’s turn to obtain his own sword. Upon obtaining the Sword of Might, he would undoubtedly be strong and confident enough to overtake Dragonblood City…

Soon enough, they arrived at a cave… and upon entering, everyone was able to see vein-like streams of lava creeping all over the cave’s walls.

After walking for a bit, Old Hughes turned to face the shadowy figure before looking at a stone pillar while saying, “The cave we’re in is called the Titan Cave, and the Sword of Might is within the stone pillar in front of us!”

Frankly speaking, the layout of this cave wasn’t all that different compared to Fishgut Cave, the only major—and obvious—difference being all the lava streams as well as the immense heat.

“I see! So that’s the ancient Sword of Might that possesses the power of fire!” declared the shadowy figure.

“Indeed it is… See that stone over there? The one with the palmprint carved into it? Place your hand on it and it’ll transfer the power of fire into your body! Following that, you’ll be able to unlock the stone pillar to obtain the sword!” explained Old Hughes.

Upon hearing that, the shadowy figure did as he was told… and the second his palm fitted into the carving, the stone instantly reacted by summoning red-hot flames that quickly engulfed the shadowy figure’s hand!

Clenching his teeth, the shadowy figure resisted the urge to shout as his hand burned within the flames.

“Endure it. This is the only way you’ll be able to obtain the sword,” said Old Hughes when he saw how pale the shadowy figure’s face was getting.

Understanding that if he retracted his hand now, all his previous pain would’ve been for nothing, the shadowy figure simply continued tolerating the pain as best as he could…

With blue veins already bulging horribly on his arm, the shadowy figure couldn’t help but scream in agony when his entire body suddenly ignited!

Barely a second later, an explosive sound that resounded throughout the cave could be heard coming from behind them.

Looking back, it appeared that the stone pillar had cracked open due to the immense flames…

With the Sword of Might now free from its confines, everyone was able to see how beautiful the blade was. With the handle decorated with fiery red lines and the blade carved with draconic patterns, the Sword of Might truly looked majestic…

By this point, the shadowy figure himself had already recovered from his pain. Quickly walking over to the stone pillar, he instantly grabbed the sword’s handle before forcefully yanking it out!

The second the sword was pulled out, dragon-like flames instantly surged out from the sword’s blade…

A sinister smile on his face, the shadowy figure then lifted the sword high as he laughed arrogantly before declaring, “The Sword of Might… It’s finally mine! The world is going to be mine soon!”
