Chapter 604 Salvin The One-Man Army.

There are no obstacles on Salvos's path apart from the occasional monster spawned to challenge him. There is nothing to see as far as the eye can see throughout the Arena. One wouldn't know that this arena used to be a forest. The arena used to have tall, giant, thick, and strong trees but they all disappeared from the arena because of Salvos' fights. 

For all their colossal size, thickness, and strength, it didn't save them from their ashy fate. Trees, no matter how overgrown, are very good kindling material. Those trees are now present in the form of soot that is being blown in the wind and ashes that form with smoke to create large smog clouds in the sky. 

Unfortunately for the arena, it will not be restored to its previous state until this challenge is done. The trees will not be returned because the same thing will be repeated. A lack of trees doesn't matter anyway since Salvos doesn't care. That's why Salvos gets an arena to himself. The arena was created to take a beating from a single competitor.

The first sage rated Salvos as the most likely to defeat Soverick because no one at the same level of evolution can beat Salvos. In fact, Salvos has been known to kill kings of laws as a transcendent. It is because transcendents, lords of law, and kings of law aren't that much different. They all have soul-bodies. Only their Authorities and stats differ which just means that kings of laws die slower to the all-consuming gaze of fire than transcendents do.

The difference between them in the real world is that while Soverick could beat a titan of law as a king of law, Salvos can't beat a titan of law as a king of law. The body of law of a titan of law is too strong for Salvos. But the sage expected Salvos to defeat Soverick since he is a king of law. Combat prowess doesn't matter as long as Soverick is not fundamentally different from Salvos. 

The first Sage's opinion of the outcome of a likely battle between them has changed now. Soverick has proven that he is more than he seems and has earned the first Sage's recommendation to be titled a sage. Salvos needs to become a titan of law first or do more in this competition before he has a chance at consideration for the title of sage.

The next up is Salvos' brother Salvin, the One Man army. Salvin also has white fur like his brother. He is in an arena with other people except the people are avoiding him like a plague. He doesn't mind that because he has more important things to deal with. 

They have to avoid him especially when they can see what he is fighting. No one in their right mind wants to be around someone that is fighting and has been fighting the hordes of giant Ravens for hours like some crazy maniac. He can kill them but must he begin to wage war on them? That seems like a waste of time. Anybody that thinks that clearly doesn't know Salvin.

Salvin had gotten the hang of flying soon after Soverick got it and he took to the sky immediately. He was giddy and excited. The world was interesting and he was marveling about how he couldn't believe that it was fake. 

He was like a tourist admiring a unique attraction. Unfortunately for him, there are rules that must be kept to. One of those rules is that you must keep your weak self to the tree line or pay the price for your insolence. He was assaulted by the giant Ravens with sharp claws when he broke through the tree line to enjoy an overhead view of the forest. 

The giant black ravens beat him ragged and he almost died. The flesh of his body was torn as easily as the clothes he wore when they swarmed him. He escaped through the edge of his teeth by beating a hasty retreat. The only reason he survived is that the birds gave up on chasing him soon after he hid in the ground. His humiliation quenched their bloodlust for him.

That started the enmity between Salvin and the giant ravens. That ordeal was truly humiliating to him. Where would he put his pride as the one-man army if word went out that he was bullied by numbers? He swore that it was either them or him. The arena had suddenly become too small for them. One of them will have to stop existing in this arena. 

He healed and bid his time by hunting weaker monsters. Then he returned to the sky to settle their score. The number of birds in the tens of thousands did not discourage him. They are rank 4 and he is rank 4. Even if there are a million of them he has nothing to fear. He is the one-man army. Only he is enough against a million.

He stood in the air as waves upon waves of giant ravens tried to reach him to tear him apart but they always fell down from the sky dead because of his attacks. Said attacks also have something to do with his eyes. Thousands of phantom weapons are cleaving through the giant Ravens and slaughtering them. He controls all the phantom weapons with his eyes and directs them to make precise attacks on his enemies. 

The birds clash with the weapons but the weapons weave through their defense and cleave them apart. There are so many phantom weapons in the air that the sky has turned into a meat grinder. It is a scene of pure bloodshed and domination and unrelenting determinance.

Salvin's thousands of phantom weapons clashed with the Ravens who have an unrelenting determination to tear him apart. Unfortunately for the Ravens, determination doesn't trump fire power. Their blood and flesh fall like rain that waters the ground. The ground itself is forced to drink and engorge itself against its will. Any more blood and a flood will be formed.
