CHAPTER 437 BLOOD DYED THE GROUND RED

"When will I own such a magnificent beast? Just forget about it. Let's go now." Rocky maintained a

steady gaze in the direction where Sabina took off riding her exemplary beast. He then patted Rubygon

on its head signaling it to leave too.

Rubygon let out a thunderous roar, stretched its legs and began to speed hoping to catch up with

Sabina and her beast.

Meanwhile, on the Hippo Land's west side, the two armies were neck and neck in a fierce battle.

The Crimson Dragon Army led by Marin was in high spirits and determined as they charged ahead to

the Timber Deity Empire's military camp. But the Timber Deity Empire had managed to gather a large

and strong troop and with that, they stopped the Crimson Dragon Army hundreds of meters before the

military camp of the Timber Deity Empire.

Suddenly, the dull sky had been awakened with a series of fires lit around the battleground. Both the

armies clashed and began fighting on the slope in front of the Timber Deity Empire's military camp. The

soldiers met their enemies head-on with aggression, and as the casualties began to rise on each side,

loud sounds of chaos and violence filled the air.

While some soldiers struggled to get up after being knocked down, some fell on this foreign land once

and for all, never to wake up again. Battles were cruel and cold but the blood scattered across the field

remained warm. Every man was fighting with all his strength, not just to save their lives but, to defend

the honor of their land and shedding blood for this noble cause was a way of proving their loyalty. Many

would sacrifice their lives as a testament to their loyalty and dedicated service. But in the end, all that

remained was an incessant war.

"Charge ahead, warriors! Kill all the soldiers of the Crimson Dragon Army. I have tolerated them for far

too many days patiently. And today I finally have the chance to confront and greet them with

aggression. Stop their middle route army in their tracks. And seal their west route." After delegating the

army, Commander Wei led several spirit manipulators at the Earthly Stage to the war. He swiftly

dashed through the battlefield killing soldiers of the Crimson Dragon Army who came in his way.

Commander Wei looked deceptively ordinary but he was at the second grade of the Heavenly Stage.

And the military ranks of the Timber Deity Empire were different from those of the Holy Dragon Empire.

They also had Frontline Commanders and Elite Commanders in their ranks. But the standard for

promotion of the Timber Deity Empire commanders was stricter than that of the Holy Dragon Empire.

Only the spirit manipulator at or above the Heavenly Stage could be qualified as a commander, and

that was the standard. And the number of soldiers a commander could lead, depended solely on his

experience. The commander of the Timber Deity Empire, including Commander Wei, could lead about

seven to eight thousand soldiers, which was much stronger than that of Frontline Commanders in the

Holy Dragon Empire.

So, Commander Wei was evidently somebody quite significant. After all, the one chosen to be a

commander would under no circumstance be ordinary.

Alongside several spirit manipulators at the Earthly Stage, Commander Wei with ease fought through

rows of soldiers to where Marin stood chivalrously commanding the Crimson Dragon Army amid the

turmoil.

"Damn it! I didn't expect to confront the Crimson Dragon Army's commander who is so supremely

beautiful." The Commander was taken aback by how overwhelmingly beautiful Marin was. As he

gawked at her with his eyes wide open, his jaws dropped too upon seeing this pleasant surprise.

Even though Marin had been leading the army all this while, even during the feint, Commander Wei

didn't see her before as he hadn't shown up earlier. And now he was beyond shocked to find that the

Crimson Dragon Army was led by a Commander who looked so pretty.

A frown set in on Marin's face as she spotted Commander Wei of the Timber Deity Empire, who was at

the second grade of the Heavenly Stage. But she wasn't scared at all. In fact, she too was nearly at the

second grade of the Heavenly Stage and had the added advantage of being a royal spirit manipulator. This material belongs to .

With that rationale, she was confident of confronting Commander Wei.

"Move aside all of you, right this instant. I will tackle her on my own," Commander Wei ordered.

Within a second the spirit manipulators at the Earthly Stage beside Commander Wei dispersed to fight

others on the battlefield, leaving Marin and Commander Wei alone.

"Hello gorgeous, I'm coming for you!" He passed a wide flirtatious smile as the Commander unleashed

his spiritual power at the second grade of the Heavenly Stage which ignited his body. And the next

moment, he showed up right across Marin, a spate of spiritual power brewing in his palm.

"Capture Claw!" Commander Wei transformed his palm into a claw following which a giant claw

shadow appeared above his claw before he rushed towards Marin.

Marin grew increasingly irritated by how smug and vain Commander Wei was, and her body was

immediately engulfed by bright blue spiritual light.

"Silk-smooth Water Skill!" Marin condensed her spiritual power into a silk of water that securely covered

her arms.

In an elegant manner, Marin waved her arms and instantly smooth silk of water shot out, clashing with

and defending her from the big claw shadow.

Bang!

The two streaks of spiritual power collided mid-air and immediately created a strong sound wave and

radiating energy that swept across the ground and got everyone to stop their attack stances for a brief

moment.

It seemed that both of them nullified each other's attack in the first round.

"You are a royal spirit manipulator!" Commander Wei was taken aback by that round of attacks and

started to take her seriously as a contender. He was a common spirit manipulator. Even though his

strength was a little higher than Marin's, a royal spirit manipulator whose strength was nearly at the

second grade of the Heavenly Stage was actually equal to an average spirit manipulator at the second

grade of the Heavenly Stage. Therefore, their strength was in fact at the same level.

But despite the last attack, Commander Wei still remained extremely confident of defeating Marin.

Suddenly, he drew a serious expression and took a step back to concentrate and gather his spiritual

power to open the Magic Spiritual Space, and released a four-star grade third Huge Pointed-mouthed

Rat.

The lower body of the Huge Pointed-mouthed Rat was swollen like a balloon, looking very unnaturally

bloated, while its upper body was disproportionately slim and slender. The rodent had three heads and

four hands. While his pointed mouth boasted several sharp teeth as foul slimy saliva was dripping out

of its mouth. The creature looked as sleazy as its master.

"Verdanim, come out and play now!" Witnessing Commander Wei summon his unnatural looking spirit-

manipulated beast, Marin immediately let out Verdanim from her Magic Spiritual Space.

Verdanim, whose body was larger than common spirit-manipulated beasts, flew through the crack of

the Magic Spiritual Space and imposed its presence as a high-class spiritual race. The spirit-

manipulated beasts of the Timber Deity Empire soldiers cried fearfully at the sight of Verdanim.

Even Commander Wei's Huge Pointed-mouthed Rat looked a little scared on seeing Verdanim

majestically fly down from the sky.

On any given day, four-star third-grade Verdanim was far more powerful than the Huge Pointed-

mouthed Rat. After all, dragons were one of the most powerful high-class races among the spirit-

manipulated beasts in the Wild Spirit Land.

The sight of the great war dragon wiped the smug expression from Commander Wei's face instantly.

He didn't expect that Marin would own such an excellent war dragon, at such a young age, which made

him burn up with rage and jealousy. And the advent of Verdanim made him realize that the chance to

win was narrow.

But Commander Wei coveted Marin and desired her, he was no longer willing to return without her.

With such intentions driving him, Commander Wei ordered his Huge Pointed-mouthed Rat to confront

Verdanim as he launched an attack on Marin. Marin showed no trace of fear and bravely faced

Commander Wei. Both of them exhausted every skill they mastered with neither of them showing any

signs of concession.

The war went on for an hour, many people died, and their blood painted the ground crimson red. But

the Crimson Dragon Army was at an advantage for being in a high spirit after making a successful raid.
