Winner Takes All

His voice was low-pitched, yet it was brimming with utter confidence.

Although he sounded very calm, but his words themselves seemed to carry weight, signaling his extraordinary existence as one that was above all lives.

Zenith indeed... was qualified enough to fit that image!

Jack's body was dripping with blood, and while his body was slightly arching, his ferocious and bloodshot eyes resembled those of a beast. He was giving Zenith who was walking leisurely towards him a death stare, and there was an evil smile on his face. However, that smile slowly changed into a malicious and cold one.

He was in a bewitched state, and in exchange for his sanity he had gained tremendous growth in power. However, that didn't mean that he had lost all sense for his surroundings.

When faced with Zenith who was closing in on him, Jack felt an apprehension screaming out at him from the depths of his blood.

It was the kind of natural sensation, the one that existed between animals in a food chain.

When a sheep was chanced upon by a cheetah, it would probably shudder in fear before running for its life, but if it was a tiger, the sheep would probably freeze in fear while trembling nonstop. However, this was a meeting between cheetah and tiger, and although the fear was not the same, their meeting wouldn't be a calm and harmless one.

"Hmm?"

When Zenith heard the sound made by Jack, his brows shot up and in an instant, his sharp gaze was piercing Jack.

Jack immediately sensed the danger posed by Zenith's gaze, and reflexively... he took a step back!

It was just a step back, yet in the eyes of Achilles, Debut and Yarol who had hurried over, it was a shocking news to them.

"Jack... has taken a step back?"

Debut was incredulous.

Just a moment ago, Jack was indifferent to everything when he was fighting the mercenaries or the Oirat Army, and he was able to fend off all attacks while maintaining his composure without fail. However, it only took a look from Zenith... to make Jack stagger backwards!

"If commander and Jack fight now, do you think the commander can tame Jack?"

Yarol suddenly asked a very key question.

Jack's transformation was too baffling.

That immense growth in his strength was evident in everyone's eyes.

Now that all the danger was gone, the most important thing now... was to turn Jack back to his original state!

Their most concerning problem was to tame Jack!

A white flash appeared in Achilles' eyes as he looked solemnly at Jack and Zenith, his mouth twitching. In the end, he didn't answer Yarol.

That was because he didn't know the answer either.

He never saw the upper limit of Zenith's power in his life.

As for Jack, he had renewed Achilles' understanding of him throughout this war where he suddenly transformed.

When he fought Jack earlier on, despite the fact that he was very careful, Jack was still far superior than him. When Jack started his rampage, it was as if a tsunami was crashing at him, rendering him unable to counter effectively.

In his opinion, he couldn't see the limits of their powers, so when they were going to fight, he didn't know who would be the winner!

Jack took a step back as something flashed in his blood-seeking eyes while he let out a growl, as if to give a warning.

The Dragon Cavalry Sword dangled from his hand and with just a simple swipe, something exploded in the air and a mist of snow was billowing.

"I am going to take my spear!"

Zenith's hand which was clasped behind him was now by his side, and with a serious gaze and solemn expression, he continued walking towards Jack.

At this moment, the snow surrounding them seemed to disappear.

Achilles, Debut and Yarol could only focus on Jack and Zenith.

An indescribably sense of nervousness was shrouding the three of them.

A huge invisible hand was clutching their necks, causing them to have difficulty of breathing.

Even though they were just onlookers and even though it was a harsh winter all around them, strangely enough, there were beads of sweat forming on their foreheads.

The crunching sound made by Zenith's boots continued as he approached Jack. He slowed down his pace as if he was testing something. He was closing the gap between them with caution.

At the same time, Jack tightened his grasp on the Dragon Cavalry Sword as he watched Zenith closing in on him, and there was a faint sound as he did that.

His bloody face was a picture of coldness and ruthlessness, and his gaze was ferocious and full of bloodlust.

Although the two of them hadn't get in touch, but it was already a competition of their aura.

This competition caused Achilles to be in a pinch too.

This crazy atmosphere directly affected them as it seeped into their bones!

Debut and Yarol started to shiver as they faced this immense pressure.

Achilles furrowed his brows as he clung onto Yarol and Debut, "Take a step back. We can't be too near to them."

His voice was all business-like, as if this was the last sentence he could squeeze out of his throat.

When they three of them widened the gap to some twenty more meters between them and Zenith, they could finally feel the pressure lifting off on them slightly.

"Alas... It turns out that in this world, two martial artists could start their match just by competing with their auras."

Debut raised his hand and wiped away some of the sweat on his forehand, "I really thought that fights could only be physical!"This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

"This is the aura of a soldier. When we are in the battlefield, aren't we competing in terms of this too?"

Achilles glanced at Debut and explained in a low voice, "This competition of auras is actually quite commonplace, but for Jack and Zenith, you won't be able to take it anymore."

He let out a long breath and continued, “Jack's aura was all-encompassing while the commander's one was almighty. The two of them were pretty much on an equal footing, and even I can't determine who would win in if they fight!"

However, the moment he just finished his sentence, Jack who was on guard all the time suddenly let out a roar that sounded like an animal.

His roar was deafening, and it carried more power compared to just now when he was try to scare off the horses.

As his roar echoed through the land, both Debut and Yarol's face convulsed in agony.

In the blink of an eye, Jack rushed towards Zenith with the Dragon Cavalry Sword in his hand.

At the same time, Zenith kicked off the ground like an arrow leaving a bow as he went straight for Jack too.

This very scene seemed to be in slow motion at the moment.

The snow was still ravaging and the wind was still howling nonstop.

Achilles, Debut and Yarol immediately became tense and nervous but at the same time they had a sense of anticipation.

A new soldier was facing the commander. Who was stronger?

If this fight were to happen in the Thegiant City, it would have piqued the curiosity of the three hundred thousand strong Dragon Cavalry Squad!

Just as Jack and Zenith almost clashed face to face, Jack whipped up his Dragon Cavalry Sword, and with the mist of snow acting as cover, he plowed it down on Zenith's head.

His attack was ominous and overbearing!

However, Zenith also lashed out, which caused Achilles, Debut and Yarol to all lose it.

This scene was too shocking, and they weren't ready!

The three of them gasped immediately, "How... is this possible?"
