"You are at the peak of the Soul Sublimation Realm. How can the Grant Family make you his butler?"

As he was blocking the attack from the Alfred, Jack couldn’t help but ask.

After all, even the best of his family’s talent didn’t have such a high level cultivator as a servant.

And from the looks of it, Alfred showed no resentment or anger towards being Tyler’s butler, which was quite baffling.

The Soul Sublimation Realm cultivators were considered the backbone of the entire Red Hog country.

There were nearly a dozen countries at this level. If a large number of the Soul Sublimation Realm cultivators die, the overall strength of the country would decrease.

That’s why he couldn’t understand this. Even though he knew it beforehand, he still couldn’t understand it.

"You don’t deserve to know."

Alfred coldly replied before summoning a massive fire dragon and launching it towards his enemy.

Sensing the heat from the fire dragon, Jack hurriedly condensed a large amount of metal mana into a sharp spear.

Boom!

The spear rushed towards the fire dragon and struck it so hard that the flame collapsed on the spot, releasing a massive explosion.

The heat from the explosion melted the metal spear, but Jack wasn’t done. He quickly took out another spear from his storage ring.

A yellow glow appeared on the shaft of the spear as he dashed towards Alfred.

[Deadly Strikes of Snake Spearmanship]

[Fourth Strike- Death Moon]

Gathering a large amount of mana into the spear, the intensity of the yellow light increased, forming a sharp tip of yellow mana.

Whoosh!

He struck the spear towards Alfred from the side, but Alfred dodged the attack at the very last second.

He released mana into the spatial ring, and two rapiers appeared in his hands.

Ding!

Channeling the mana into his right-hand rapier, he thrust it towards Jack.

Jack quickly swung his spear towards Alfred, with a sweeping motion, but Alfred blocked it with his left-hand rapier.

Ding!

When his right-hand rapier reached Jack’s chest, it struck a metal armor.

"Humph! It’s just a creation of mana. How can it block my attack?"

[Fire Dragon Soar]

The intense blazing heat traveled from his hand and into the tip of the rapier, before turning into a sharp needle of flame that tore through the metal armor.

Bang!

Just as Alfred succeeded in breaking the armor, Jack took advantage of his spear and slammed it so hard that Alfred was sent flying.

While in mid-air, Alfred stabilized himself and thought.

’Although I have two weapons, I can’t exert the same strength as him. More importantly, his acquired techniques are too overbearing.’

He took a deep breath, channeling a large amount of mana into his mouth before spitting out a huge stream of fire.

It slowly converged into a massive ball of flame that traveled towards Jack.

[Grand Fireball Technique]

[Deadly Strikes of Snake Spearmanship]

[Second Strike- Turtle Roar]

Jack spun his hand, creating a huge momentum of air around his spear. By using his mana, he controlled that air, pulling it towards the tip of his spear.

Boom!

He slammed his spear towards the fireball, launching a huge air shockwave that struck the fireball and blasted it.

As it exploded, the remaining fire vanished in mid-air.

Alfred landed on the ground and quickly rushed towards Jack. The rapiers in his hand were deadly snakes, constantly attacking from different directions.

Although Jack’s spearmanship replicated the snake’s attacks, it could only use its overwhelming power to keep him away.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

Their collision created sparks of metal that spread everywhere. Every time they collided with most of their force, they could create craters on the ground.

The earth shook, and a large portion of the area was destroyed.

But this didn’t stop their battle.

[Silver Moon Slash]

Alfred gathered a large amount of mana into his rapier, channeling all of it into a deadly arc that condensed into a massive slash.

As this slash moved towards Jack, a large mirror appeared in front of him. A huge portion of his mana was exhausted as the mirror brightly shone.

Boom!

The slash struck the mirror with an intense force, capable of shattering the mountain, but it didn’t manage to break the mirror.

A strong layer of mana coating over the mirror stopped most of the force from that slash, while the rest of the attack was stopped by the mirror.

Although this surprised Alfred, he didn’t care.

Suddenly, his speed increased rapidly as his boots began consuming a large amount of mana.

In an instant, he appeared behind Jack before Jack could even realize what had just happened.

Even so, the mirror in front of him instantly disappeared and appeared behind Jack.

Ding!

The rapier struck the glass, leaving a small crack on it, but the crack didn’t spread immediately.

’It can actually defend its user automatically. This is such a great artifact. How did he get it?’

Seeing this, Alfred didn’t attack immediately; instead, he retreated several meters away from Jack.

’He must have an artifact that can increase his speed. I need to be careful. The mirror has already been slightly damaged.’

Jack thought to himself as the mirror slowly floated in front of him.

Alfred took out three yellow papers and channeled his mana into the paper.

Sensing the mana consumption, Jack screamed.

"You possess Fourth Rank Talismans. How can that be?"

Alfred sneered, throwing three talismans towards Jack.

Seeing this, Jack immediately covered himself in an armor made out of metal and summoned a massive golden bell around him.

[Fourth Rank Talisman- Scorpion Frost Stringer]

[Fourth Rank Talisman- Golden Sword]

[Fourth Rank Talisman- Blazing Fire Dragon]

Three talismans suddenly dissipated in mid-air, turning into three different attacks.

One of them was a massive tail made out of ice. Its body was slightly invincible, but the outline of snow made it into the shape of a scorpion.

The middle one was a massive golden sword, nearly the size of a large tree.

The one at the far left was a fire dragon that was even hotter than his previous fire dragon.

Crack!

The golden sword was the fastest among the three, reaching the mirror first. Its power shattered the mana layer over the glass.

Although the mirror was also an artifact, its power wasn’t enough to block the talisman.

Instead, the glass was immediately destroyed, leaving only the back part of the mirror.

Before the golden sword destroyed it completely, Alfred released suction from his palm and pulled the broken mirror towards him.

If it were unharmed, this would be impossible. Unfortunately, it no longer had the power to stop Alfred’s mana.

Bang!

The frost tail was the second attack to reach Jack. It struck the golden bell around him with so much force that it released a massive sound.

Everyone on the battlefield had to close their ears when this sound rang. But the force behind the ice tail managed to break the golden bell.

Boom!

The final attack was the fire dragon. Its mouth devoured Jack, melting the exterior of his metal armor with its intense heat.

But Jack jumped out of the fire dragon, looking like a steamed pot. He quickly released the armor, and it fell from his body.

Before it reached the ground, the armor disintegrated in mid-air.

With the support of his mana, this armor couldn’t exist after all; it was an elemental creation.

’Although I was prepared to die, I still feel unwilling to lose so much.’

Jack bitterly stared at the scattered parts of the Golden Bell and the broken mirror in Alfred’s hand.

He planned to send these things to the family after his death. Unfortunately, he was going to die, but these artifacts would never return to his family.

At this moment, Alfred suddenly disappeared and appeared behind him.

Splash!

Before Jack could even react, his back was pierced by the rapier.

"Cough! I never thought I would die at your hands. Can you tell me one thing before my death?"

"How can someone with your strength and resources be that young man’s butler?"

Jack slowly turned his head and asked while coughing up blood.

"Because everything I’ve, everything I achieved was given by my Master."

At this moment, a look of realization appeared on his face.

’Austin Family, Turnip Family...... No.....’

Suddenly, a large amount of mana burst out of his body, turning into several spikes.

Sensing his attack, Alfred utilized the power of those boots and instantly disappeared from the scene.

Although he was riddled with holes by those metal spikes, Jack pulled out a metal plate and clapped his hands together.

A puff of cloud appeared, followed by a crow.

[Inner World Grant]

After he finished writing those words, he infused his mana into the crow, giving it mental instructions.

’Go back!’

"No!"

Alfred shouted, rushing towards the crow as it flew away.

"You can’t."

Jack roared, releasing all of his mana at once, turning into a metal spike that went straight towards Alfred, forcing him to stop.

When Alfred stopped, Jack realized he had done it. He had sent the information to the family.

Now, he could rest.

Thud!
