Undead Beast Master: Living Solely for My Desires-Chapter 228: Just a Warm-Up

The heads of the great families and clans were watching the fight with utmost interest.

After all, even though they had lost a significant amount of money, they had gained a valuable glimpse of which students they could potentially recruit to join them.

There were some exceptional students and some who weren't that great.

But all of them paled in comparison before these two men.

David, a person that seemed to rely on physical power alone,

And Zaroth, a Beast Master.

Both not that desirable classes and powers at first glance.

And yet, they had reached the end.

These two were the pinnacle of it all,

The best of the best of the entire massive empire.

David buried his feet deep into the ground, and an instant later, he dashed forward, causing the ground behind him to shatter in a spiderweb-like pattern.

The movement was so swift that to most, it seemed as though he had teleported, but in reality, he had simply accelerated that quickly.

He raised his fist, ready to smash Zaroth's face in, as the fist began to glow with menacing purple light.

At this moment, the most powerful people watching the tournament realized something.

Earlier, in the semi-finals, when David fought Grace, he hadn't used his full strength; this speed and power now appeared far greater.

Zaroth wasn't able to perceive the movements of David; the man was simply too fast.

And yet, a smirk appeared on his face, as his head moved enough to make David's fist miss his face by a hair's breadth.

David was fast.

Much faster than before.

And yet he was slower than Elysia,

And after the countless hours where she assaulted his body, Zaroth had learned quite a few things,

One of them was that his instincts were the most reliable way for him to sense any attack coming his way.

Zaroth didn't even need to think.

He had just dodged an attack, so it was only natural that he responded in kind, right?

As such, before his mind could form a thought, his two hands were already raised high in the sky as the odachi was cutting the air with devastating speed.

Zaroth wasn't just using his hands to attack; he was leveraging his entire body weight, and with gravity working in his favor, it was going to be a devastating blow.

Sure, David wasn't going to be injured, but his mana core would be slightly more depleted.

And Zaroth would be one step closer to victory.

As the odachi collided with David's body, it bounced off. Like he had just tried to cut hard rock.

Zaroth wasn't discouraged; he had anticipated this outcome, so instead of feeling pity, he focused on the spot where his odachi had struck.

It was just for a moment, but he was able to observe how the spot had become a bit darker, only to return to the same hue of purple as the rest of the aura around David's body.

David wasn't done with his assault, however, as he turned his other palm into a fist and was about to hit Zaroth's chest.

This action was a bit slower, so Zaroth was able to see it in time.

Applying one more technique he had learned from Elysia, he quickly adjusted the handle of the odachi, positioning the blade to intercept the fist before it could reach his chest.

This wasn't how one should use an odachi, as the weapon could easily be broken, it was quite thin after all, but this odachi was special; it was a gift from Elysia, and she wasn't going to give him something that wasn't good.

David's fist hit the odachi, and the power was too much as the blade was pushed back, then a moment later it collided with Zaroth's chest, or more accurately his chestplate.

The armor Elysia had gifted Zaroth was incredible; it prevented him from being injured easily, he just had to withstand the shockwave.

His eyes widened in shock as his body was sent a dozen meters in the sky.

He knew that David's raw power was good, but that was simply unbelievable!

If it wasn't for Elysia, Zaroth would have been overpowered from the beginning!

Luckily, that wasn't the case. But that didn't mean there weren't other problems.

At the moment, Zaroth was high in the sky, and he would begin to fall down.

This was bad, as being in the air made it incredibly easy for David to land a hit on him.

Not to mention that the drop could easily injure his legs, making him weaker.

David didn't wait even a second as he dashed with blinding speed.

It seemed that he was going to predict where Zaroth was going to land and hit him again.

But his eyes widened for a moment as Hellweaver suddenly appeared before him.

The giant spider was the beast that had the most raw power and weight from his beasts, excluding Luna!

As David collided with the spider, a wind almost like a hurricane erupted from the shock, yet the spider remained unscathed, already lunging its jaws toward David.

His aura might protect him from attacks, but what about liquids, like poison?

While this was happening, Silverfang appeared below Zaroth, just before he hit the ground.

The wolf took some damage as his master fell on it, but this way, Zaroth was unharmed by the dozen-meter fall.

Without resting, he appeared next to David again.

Silverfang was attacking as well from the other side,

Hellweaver was in the front.

Just like that, they had surrounded David.

The wolf bit down on his leg, Hellweaver on the his shoulder, and Zaroth's odachi hit David's side again, only to be pushed back as expected.

For a second, Zaroth wondered how David was going to act.

And then his eyes widened for a moment.

The cursed being behind David that had been watching all this time silently, opened its mouth as it spoke.

"You said you wanted to know more, right? Well, here's a little clue for you: use me. Stop holding back; the more you use me, the more you'll understand the—"

Zaroth wasn't able to hear the end of the sentence of the being as David rose his two hands and hit the ground.

The ground cracked like a massive spiderweb, with countless chunks flying in all directions as the shockwave was so powerful that both Zaroth and Silverfang were sent dozens of meters back.

Only Hellweaver stayed in one place as it was too heavy to be sent flying by the shockwave.

That didn't remain for long though, as David exploded, moving even faster and appearing just below the spider's belly.

In a span of a second, he lifted the spider and threw it with all his power toward Zaroth.

Zaroth's eyes widened for a moment as he saw his beast flying toward him like a comet, but he stayed calm and managed to get low enough for the spider to pass over him

Immediately after he did, he rose to his feet as he gripped his odachi with two hands.

But he didn't immediately rush at David, as thanks to the being's words, Zaroth had realized something.

'We really are alike,' he thought.

Just as Zaroth was holding back, unwilling to use Luna, David was in the same situation, seemingly reluctant to unleash the full extent of his abilities

So, that meant that this fight, which had already devastated the arena like no other fight before it, could easily be considered just a small warm-up.
