Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The tavern was dead silent, all of the Templars stopped moving, they silently watched and listened to the old Grand Master. Their youthful faces were filled with excitement.
“We began to rush forward and attack!
“We lost!”
“Haha!” The old Grand Master laughed. He stroked his thick white beard and wiped off the beer stains on it. His face was full of pride.
“My strength is limited. I suffered many sword wounds and fell down like a dead dog. Haha, when I woke up, I discovered that I had returned to the Temple. Later on, I found out that the entire Fifth Order was all dead, I was the only one left.
“The Frozen Cedar Knights did not give us mercy. Every corpse was stabbed multiple times. Fortunately, the knight who stabbed me used a rapier. That rapier blinded my eyes and pierced through my head. My brain splattered all over the ground.
“It was the Emperor who personally saved my peasant life. He asked me what reward I wanted.
“I begged the old Emperor to give me back the Fifth Order. I wanted to build another Fifth Order of Templars!
“That’s why you guys are here, do you understand?
“Otherwise, why would the dignified Templar Knights recruit new recruits so easily?
“You guys are insanely lucky. But you are still too young. The battle just now was nothing.” The old Grand Master shook his head and continued to drink.
His words were short and rugged, but the young Templars in the tavern looked excited.
They began to talk excitedly.
“I know that, during the battle in the Jackal Valley, our Fifth Order only relied on a thousand people, to wipe out more than 5,000 people from the Frozen Cedar Knights and we destroyed three of their establishments!”
“The Frozen Cedar Knights were cleaning up the battlefield, when they were attacked by the Third Order Templar Knights, like a strike of lightning from the sky. They were all destroyed in the Jackal Valley.”
“The Frozen Cedar Knights are the number one trump card of the Southern Noble Alliance. This battle disrupted the backbone of the Southern Aristocratic Alliance!”
“That’s right, this is what Templars do!”
“We are unrivaled, no one can stop us!”
“Even in a desperate situation, we will die with our heads held high!”
“That’s right, charge forward, forward until death!”
The atmosphere in the tavern became warm again. The young Templar’s faces were red, both from the drinks and from excitement.
The memory faded, but their voices still seemed to linger in Aupin’s ears.
Charge!
Charge!
Until death!
Aupin rushed forward without hesitation!
The Monkey Tailed Brown Bear’s ears moved immediately, it heard the movement.
But its heavy injury made it much slower than usual. As soon as it turned around, it saw the young man in mid-air!
Aupin sprinted and jumped up in the air, the gleaming cold dagger held tight in his hand.
The brown bear was caught off guard, its left eye was punctured by the dagger.
Instantly, it went blind.
Roar!
The brown bear was enraged, in pain and suffering, the darkness in its eyes made it completely explode with the ferocity of a beast.
It fiercely waved its arm and Aupin couldn’t dodge it in time.
Aupin could only curl up as much as possible as he used his two arms to protect his face and chest.
Thud…
A muffled noise sounded, the young man was slammed and slapped away at twice the speed from before.
His body smashed into the cave walls, his arm, used as a shield, was completely broken. Because of the strong impact with the cave wall, his shoulder blades and back ribs had multiple fractures.
His internal organs were also damaged, the heavy blow was overwhelming, it seemed to have caused internal organ bleeding.
Aupin spat out a mouthful of blood as he yelled.
Severe pain engulfed his whole body and the young man’s face turned pale.
However, a new energy emerged from the depths of his body.
This was the effect of the rage potion!
He spat out another mouthful of blood. Aupin used his feet to kick himself away from the cave wall.
“Die!”
He quietly screamed and rushed towards the brown bear again.
Instantly, the wind whistled in his ears. He seemed to have broken through the limit of endurance, the strenuous pain stimulated him and made him even more excited.
His arms were completely numb, like two thick, lifeless noodles, swaying behind his body.
The blow of the brown bear was not inconsequential. It smashed the boy’s bones in his arms, his muscles became minced meat, barely holding together.
The brown bear went insane and attacked the cave, smashing the rock ore.
An ore piece hit Aupin’s body, the young man’s face was as calm as ice.
He dodged his head down, avoiding the sharp claws of the brown bear, his feet charging forward at their limit!
He stepped on the walls of the cave and after a few steps, he leaped up suddenly and jumped into the air again.
The brown bear was blind in both eyes and fell into madness.
Aupin saw the opportunity, as he fell in the air, he slammed his right foot on the dagger that was in the brown bear’s eye socket.
Blood and brain matter splashed out, the dagger penetrated deep into the brown bear’s head, not even the dagger handle could be seen.
Roar!
The brown bear exerted the harshest and most painful roar of its life.
Using the instincts of a beast, it caught Aupin in one swift swoop.
Its sharp nails radiated with heat, turning glowing red.
Its nails pierced deeply into the Aupin’s waist and abdomen, its claws penetrated him from both sides. It then slammed the boy onto the ground fiercely. Its sharp nails plunged directly into the hard ground from its power.
The hot claws pierced Aupin, like a hot knife slicing butter.
Aupin screamed, his intestines and flesh were scorched. He finally felt the same pain as those Scaley Horned Black Panthers.
“Sir!” Faced with such a fierce battle scene in front of her, Violette couldn’t help but scream.
The scream reached Aupin’s ears, he regained his senses from the pain!
His waist and abdomen were thrust into the ground by the sharp claws, he was stuck.
The Monkey Tailed Brown Bear leaned over him, its bloody mouth right above him!
At this critical moment, the young man tried his best to twist his upper body as much as possible.
The brown bear had no vision, Aupin successfully evaded its attack.
The bear’s jaw hit the ground fiercely, its sharp teeth gnawed at the ground, rubble splashed everywhere.
Aupin’s arms were crippled, he was in a desperate circumstance. Just like the black panthers, he aimed at the brown bear’s neck and bit it!
There was already a scary wound on the brown bear’s neck.
This was the heavy price paid not long ago when the Monkey Tailed Brown Bear fought the Scaley Horned Black Panther leader.
The bone was showing from the wound, its fur was long gone.
Aupin buried his head in deep, after a few bites, his mouth was full of brown bear flesh and blood.
Prior to this, the brown bear was bleeding heavily from this wound, but after the brown bear swallowed the ore, its bleeding had stopped. After being bitten by Aupin, the arteries inside ruptured, a large stream of blood spewed out, the blood flow stronger than before!
Instantly, Aupin’s face was covered with blood.
It was like Aupin had buried his head in a small waterfall, he had to close his eyes tightly, his mouth and nose filled with a gamey smell which seemed to have a hint of sweetness.
Aupin still fought back desperately, biting the flesh and blood of the brown bear.
A large amount of bear blood poured back into his throat, he could barely breathe.
But who cares about breathing at a time like this!?
The fight between the two sides had reached the most critical moment.
Who would win, who would die?
Aupin began to choke, his lungs filled with bear blood, it felt extremely nauseating.
The violent bear growled, it began to panic!
It couldn’t see the young man, but it could feel the weakness of Aupin’s physique. However, Aupin was actually more savage than any beast it had ever seen!
Violette was stunned. She stared blankly at the bear being bitten, her eyes in a daze, she was like a stone statue, frozen in place.
The brown bear tried to pull out its sharp claws and tear the boy to pieces, but after several tries, it didn’t succeed.
It had already gone through a great battle, it was at its limit. After being bitten by the young man, its strength quickly collapsed like an avalanche, unable to even pull out its claws.
Bang!
Finally, the brown bear fell to the ground.
Its huge body was several times that of Aupin, but in the end it lost.
Aupin also fell on the ground with a violent coughing sound, he vomited pieces of meat and clumps of blood from his mouth.
After vomiting out the meat and blood, the young man was finally able to breathe.
He looked like a drowning person who had been rescued, his chest bumping up and down, panting quickly.
After a few breaths, he started coughing again and spat out more blood.
Only god knows whether this was his blood or the brown bear’s blood.
A strong sense of dizziness filled the young man’s head.
The young man wanted to get up, but he completely failed.
His waist and abdomen were still thrust into the ground by the claws of the brown bear, he bled continuously. From the violent battle, his body was completely torn apart.
The burnt intestines scorched by the sharp claws poured out of the huge wound.
The young man fell on the ground again.
“Hehehe…” He looked at the huge bear corpse and let out a weak laugh.
This laughter resembled the old Grand Master of the Fifth Order Templars.
Aupin’s eyes opened, he felt sluggish, his laughter quickly weakened.
After a few breaths his pupils completely lost their luster.
The effects of the rage potion had passed.
The young man completely lost consciousness.
Both the man and the bear were motionless.
