Swoosh!

Mikhail was impatient since long ago. As such, before Ramiel’s voice could even die down, he tapped his leg on the ground before his entire body flew past everyone like a gust of wind and appeared before Ramiel in the arena like a ghost.

His movement was rapid and smooth like flowing water, and he’d instantly won the attention of most people. Even Ramiel was surprised by Mikhail’s speed and quick reaction.

“So, this is the Mad Prince, the 13th Imperial Prince of the Helios Empire.”

Even though Vandal was famous throughout the whole Helios Empire and even abroad, not many people have seen him before as he rarely made any public appearances.

While the other Imperial Princes were traveling around, making connections, and building their power with the nobles, he was fighting Ether Beasts in the Great Helios Pass.

Even when he was in the Imperial Capital, he would rarely go outside. As such, even some of the high-rank nobles in the Helios Empire didn't know how he looked like until now.

“But would he be able to defeat Ramiel?”Suddenly asked one of the spectators.

Though Vandal was known to be a dual user of both mana and aura and was also extremely talented and gifted, not much was known about his strength.

However, no one believed that he would be able to defeat Ramiel who was a peak 7 Star Aura Knight as he was still too young.

It wasn't easy breaking through the 7 Star Aura Knight. As such, despite his talent, many believed that he would at most be a 6 Star Aura Knight.

He was still too young and weak to face Ramiel at the moment. Maybe in the future, he would become a legendary figure like his father and a pillar of the Helios Empire. But right now, he was still a tiger cub.

Nonetheless, Among the tumultuous crowd, there were still some people that were moved by his action

One foreign diplomat said while being visibly moved: “How courageous! He knows that there is no way he could defeat his opponent, yet he still chose to bravely face him without a hint of fear in his eyes.”

While everyone was focused on Mikhail on the stage, they failed to notice the slight smile that appeared on the Emperor’s face after Mikhail entered the stage. It was really quick, even the people next to him didn't notice it either.

Meanwhile, Ramiel was suspiciously staring at the young man in front of him with a doubtful and indeterminate expression on his face.

Mikhail was simply too calm. Furthermore, the way that he quickly accepted his challenged and entered the arena also caught him by surprise. It was as if he was waiting for it.

Although Ramiel was arrogant and overbearing, he wasn’t an idiot. He could tell Mikhail wasn't the least bit afraid of him even after witnessing his power which meant that he was confident of his strength.

Unfortunately, Ramiel was indeed right. Not only Mikhail wasn't the least bit afraid of him, but he also wanted Ramiel to choose him as his next opponent.

It wasn't because he wanted to defend the honor of the Imperial Family, but because he wanted to use this opportunity to put a target on his back.

He wanted to be seen as a threat and also provoke many people by exposing his strength and true talent. Though it might sound stupid and even crazy, it was the best plan he could come up with to quickly unlock all the 7 Demon God Unique Skills.

Even though he was an Imperial Prince, he couldn't just kill, blackmail, and plunder people, especially the nobles. However, it would be a different story if they were to plot against him or target him first.

As Mikhail was visualizing and picturing the best way to crush the little calf in front of him, Ramiel’s voice suddenly rang out his ears.” Aren't you going to draw your sword?”

At the same time, his eyes were like a venomous snake as he was sizing him up from top to bottom

“There's no need,” Mikhail answered with a slight smile on his face.

“What do you mean? Are you surrendering?” Not only Ramiel but almost everyone was confused upon hearing Mikhail’s words.

Is he really going to surrender?

“My mistake, it seems like you misunderstood my intention.” Mikhail gently shook his head and explained.” What I meant was I don't need a weapon to defeat you. My bare hands are enough to take you down!”

Hiss!

The thousand plus spectators that were spectating the battle gasped upon hearing Mikhail’s overbearing words. Some of them didn’t dare believe their ears and thought they were hearing things.

Meanwhile, such words made Ramiel’s face quite unsightly. He was proud to the point of being supercilious, so Mikhail’s words were simply dampening his confidence and self-esteem.

“Indeed, the nickname Mad Prince truly suits you!” Ramiel snapped.” Defeat me with your bare hands? You are indeed a mad man. Who do you think you are? A Noble Rank Knight or a Master Mage?”

“Enough talk! just come at me.” Said Mikhail in a condescending tone with a smirk on his face. He was too lazy to listen to his drivel.

Listening to Mikhail’s words as well as seeing the expression on his face, Ramiel became even more enraged and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

Shua!

Without wasting any time, he pounced towards Mikhail like an angry beast. He was extremely fast as he channeled most of his aura into both of his legs.

Within the blink of an eye, he appeared before Mikhail like a ghost and his long sword was already slashing out at an amazing speed, like a bolt of lightning.

He was obviously a fellow with abundant combat experience, he attacked decisively without the slightest bit of indecision and the slightest scruples.

However, despite Ramiel sudden attack, Mikhail just stood there as if nothing had happened, not making a single move.

“Go to hell you arrogant prick!” Ramiel yelled and grinned, his eyes turning even icier.

Swish!

The long silver sword directly passed through Mikhail’s neck with lightning speed, severing his head from his body. However, there wasn’t a single drop of blood or head flying.

“Huh?”At this moment, Ramiel was extremely stunned because he had perceived that his sword did not cut through anything.

It was a Residual shadow; the object that his sword had just cut through was not Mikhail’s neck, but his residual shadow.

“You are still too young and green to face me.” Suddenly, an extremely cold and mocking voice rang out in Ramiel’s ears.

At the same time, with his palm enshrouded with aura, Mikhail then threw out a slap. Ramiel did notice Mikhail’s action, but before he could even react, Mikhail’s palm already landed on his face.

“Puff!”

With this single slap, Ramiel spat a mouthful of blood along with numerous bloody teeth. Ramiel didn't feel like he was slapped by a human’s hand but rather a flat and thick iron bar that weighed several tons.

Under this one slap, his body was sent flying like a bag of sand before violently slammed into the fiery wall and landed on the ground.

Bang!

On the ground, Ramiel was bruised and his face covered in blood; he was completely immobilized. If he wasn’t still breathing, others would have thought that he was dead.

Meanwhile, everyone’s mouth was gaping after seeing this scene, and couldn’t close them for a long time. Those who were cheering for Ramiel earlier had unvocalized words stuck in his throat.

None of them could believe their eyes. Some of them even rubbed their eyes since their thought they were only seeing things.

However, after rubbing their eyes for a while and saw that Ramiel was still lying unconscious on the ground with his bloody face, they believed that it was not only their minds.

“I told you I didn't need a weapon!”
