I am the emperor of Mengwang

"It's true! If you can really hold out for half an incense stick, not only can you leave, I can also give you a big gift!"

Mo Li nodded. He had no habit of lying.

"I accept, my Lord!"

Hinata Sakaguchi nodded and agreed resolutely.

In her opinion, although Morax was very strong, even far surpassing Lady Luminas and reaching the terrifying "disaster level" of strength, he was only competing in "martial arts" and "swordsmanship" without using any skills!

You must know that in this world, the strength of most of the strong people comes from their own unique skills and special skills.

Once they lose their skills, even the strongest warriors will lose most of their combat power.

Although she also relies heavily on her unique skills [Usurper] and [Mathematician], her swordsmanship and martial arts are definitely top-notch.

Among the 'Ten Saints', in terms of swordsmanship alone, almost no one can be her opponent!

Although 'Emperor Rock' Morax is known as the 'God of War', she is not afraid!

Moreover, the time is only within half an incense stick. With all the advantages, her chances of winning are very high!

"Hinata, have you really thought it through? If you want to accept Morax's challenge, you should know that Morax's "martial arts" are not something that ordinary people can match."

Luminas grabbed Sakaguchi Hinata's hand and said with great concern.

As someone who challenged Morax together with Dagu Shulu, Luminas knew how terrible his "martial arts" were. Even if Morax didn't rely on her "terrifying" skills, he could be considered a top-notch warrior just by relying on his "martial arts".

If I had to describe Morax's martial arts, it would be eight words:

'The best in the continent, unrivaled.'

The title of "God of War" is not "groundless".

In Luminas's opinion, Morax is the only one worthy of her in the entire continent.

"Lord Luminas, this is my choice, and if we're only competing in martial arts and swordsmanship, then I won't lose!"

Hinata Sakaguchi patted Ruminas' hand to comfort her while firmly assuring her.

"Hinata, you..."

Ruminas wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Hinata Sakaguchi.

"Lord Luminas, this is my own choice, and Lord Morax is right, some opportunities have to be fought for by oneself."

Seeing Sakaguchi Hinata's 'determined' eyes, Luminas swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

"Lord Luminas, although Demon Lord Morax is indeed very strong, I don't think Hinata-sama will be no match for him without using any skills!"

Seeing Luminas who had no confidence, the Knight of Light, Reynard, the vice-captain of the Holy Knights and a loyal follower of Hinata Sakaguchi, spoke respectfully.

"Yes, Master Sakaguchi Hinata's 'swordsmanship' is possibly the strongest in the entire Holy Empire and even in the entire human race!"

“It’s even possible that within that half incense stick, Lord Hinata might have defeated the Demon King Morax!

Arno, the Knight of the Sky, also said this with great pride.

"Yes, yes, yes. I also think that Hinata-sama will not lose! Hinata-sama's 'swordsmanship' is the strongest!"

Littis was extremely confident in their Hyuga-sama's swordsmanship.

"Yes, Hinata-sama is the strongest!"

"Hinata-sama, you will definitely win!"

"I believe that Lord Hinata will definitely win this battle!"

........................

The other paladins echoed this.

Looking at the group of paladins who blindly believed in Hinata's "strength", Luminas couldn't help but reveal a bitter expression.

Hinata will win! He will win against Morax, and in the aspect of "martial arts"!

Haha, if it were really that simple, she wouldn’t have felt so uncomfortable when she challenged Morax with Dagu Shulu.

But looking at the many Paladins and Paladin Orders who were full of confidence, as well as Hinata who thought she was sure of herself, Luminas knew that there was no point in her continuing to talk.

"Okay, Luminas, now that your subordinates have made their choices, don't interfere!"

"And I see that he is full of confidence!"

Guy, who was watching the show, had a happy expression on his face and said something with a hint of amusement.

Fighting He Li, and competing in "martial arts" and "swordsmanship", he was so naive to think that he would have a "chance of winning". This could be said to be the funniest joke Qi Yi had heard since he was born.

Not to mention Hinata Sakaguchi, even if Guy himself took the field, without using his ultimate skill [King of Pride], he would only be abused by Mo Li.

Of course, even if he activated the [King of Pride], he was still suppressed by Mo Li, simply because Mo Li knew so many things, and could be called a "master of all martial arts". His copying speed was not as fast as the speed at which others changed their attack methods.

Even though he used the "exactly the same" martial arts and skills, he was still suppressed by Mo Li.

This was something Qi Yi still couldn't understand. After copying other people's 'abilities' and 'skills', he could quickly become 'proficient' in them and even surpass the original 'user'. However, this usual 'case' didn't seem to work at all with Mo Li.

This made Qi Yi very puzzled. Later, when he was in Baibing Palace, he challenged Mo Li every day without giving up. As a result, he was beaten every day without a doubt.

In the end, Guy almost became autistic because of the torture.

Qi Yi now deeply understands a truth: if you can avoid fighting, then don't fight. This is a profound lesson he has learned from countless experiences.

To be honest, if Guy had the same "martial arts" and "skills" as Mo Li, even Rudra would probably be abused by Guy.

After listening to Guy's words, Luminas knew that she couldn't stop it anymore, so she had to give Hinata Sakaguchi a word of advice, then quietly walked aside and prepared to watch the fight.

Looking at the oppressive white figure not far away, Sakaguchi Hinata took a deep breath, his eyes full of determination and resoluteness.

Then he picked up his sword that had fallen on the ground and walked towards Mo Li.

Looking at Sakaguchi Hinata, who was standing opposite him with a long sword and looking a little embarrassed, Mo Li frowned slightly.

"Are you ready to accept my challenge in this state!?"

Mo Li's words stunned Sakaguchi Hinata for a moment, but then he reacted and nodded subconsciously.

"Yes! Lord Morax, I am ready."

"Ugh!"

Mo Li shook his head helplessly, then snapped his fingers, and a white light enveloped Sakaguchi Hinata who was standing opposite Mo Li.

Surrounded by white light, Hinata Sakaguchi felt that the fatigue and damage he had suffered from the battle with Demon Lord Rimuru were instantly replenished.

In just a few moments, her physical condition reached its peak level, and even some hidden injuries from past training and fighting were greatly healed.

At this time, Hinata Sakaguchi's body has completely recovered to its peak level, even better.

But on the other hand, the magic in Hinata Sakaguchi's body seemed to be put in an "eternal" shackle, unable to use it at all.

"……this……"

Hinata Sakaguchi felt her body full of energy and the magic energy that could not be used. She looked at Mo Li opposite her in some surprise. The sealing of the magic energy was within her expectation, but what puzzled her was why Mo Li wanted to treat her!

"Okay, now we can indeed begin!"

Mo Li nodded as he looked at Sakaguchi Hinata, whose body had been restored to its peak level. Mo Li did not have the habit of taking advantage of others in distress. Moreover, if Sakaguchi Hinata really "fought" against him with her body before treatment, let alone half an incense stick, she might not be able to hold on for even a breath.

"As the 'strongest paladin' of the Western Saints Church, your best skill should be 'swordsmanship', right!?"

Mo Li asked Sakaguchi Hinata for confirmation.

"……right!"

Faced with Mo Li's sudden question, Sakaguchi Hinata was stunned for a moment, but then hurriedly answered.

"…Then let's compete in swordsmanship!"

After getting the recognition from Hinata Sakaguchi, Mo Li nodded.

As he spoke, a dark golden black hole appeared beside Mo Li. Mo Li's right hand slowly pulled out a gorgeous long sword emitting dark golden light from the black hole.

Looking at the sword in his hand, a complex look flashed across Mo Li's eyes, but it only lasted for a moment.

After taking out the sword, Mo Li's aura suddenly changed, becoming sharp, terrifying, and full of endless oppression.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Hinata Sakaguchi became immediately alert.

The hand holding the holy sword tightened a little involuntarily. Only then did Sakaguchi Hinata realize how ridiculous her previous thought was. Just based on the momentum, she could conclude that Morax's "swordsmanship" must not be inferior to hers.

And for some reason, even though the person in front of her was just holding a sword, she couldn't see even the slightest flaw.

At this moment, Hinata Sakaguchi only felt a terrifying sense of oppression coming towards him, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously.

At this time, Guy, who was watching this scene, couldn't help but reveal a playful smile.

"Haha, the pressure is huge!"

"Finally someone can understand how I feel!"

Luminas, who was standing next to Guy, showed a look of worry and fear.

Now she could only pray that Morax would be gentler on her Hinata.

The six paladins who were not strong enough were still full of confidence in their boss Hinata.

Hinata-sama will definitely win!

That's right, we will win!

…………

At the same time, many monsters from the Demonic Federation who were also watching the battle on the side showed pitiful expressions.

"How can you think of competing with Lord Morax in swordsmanship?"

Hongwan touched the sword at his waist and said something tremblingly, as if he recalled something terrible.

When he was taught by the Emperor, he knew how terrifying Mo Li's swordsmanship was.

That might be a realm that he might never be able to reach even if he tried his best throughout his life.

“That’s right! It would take half an incense stick of time to compete with Morax in swordsmanship. It would be easier to just let her challenge Rimuru-chan again!”

Ruota looked at Sakaguchi Hinata, who was already sweating before the fight even started, and began to speak.

"Haha, Lord Emperor is the 'God of War' of our Tempest, and a little girl like her can't compare to him."

Liuyun's words were full of disdain for Sakaguchi Hinata. In her opinion, Sakaguchi Hinata's act of accepting the "invitation to fight" showed that she had no idea of ​​her own abilities.

How much did you drink? You are so ignorant of the consequences.

"Indeed! This human has little chance of winning! I'm afraid she can't even last five minutes, let alone half an incense stick!"

Li Shui also had the same idea as Liu Yun. Competing with the "Emperor" in "swordsmanship" was no different from "waving a sword in front of Guan Gong". He was not knowing whether to live or die.

Xie Yue also nodded in agreement.

"The Emperor's action must have a profound meaning!"

Xiao on the side said expressionlessly.

In his opinion, everything the Emperor did had its reasons, it was just that their realm was too low to see through it!

"Well, Xiao is right! Ali must have his own reasons for doing this, let's continue to watch!"

Rimuru agrees with Xiao's point of view very much. There must be a reason why Ali did this, so I'd better not make any random guesses.

Diablo, who was serving Rimuru on the side, looked at Rimuru's expression as he was obsessed with Morax on the battlefield. How jealous he must be!

Damn Morax, you dare to deceive my great Lord Rimuru, humph! One day I will expose your disguise and let Lord Rimuru see your true face.

Although Diablo was very dissatisfied with Mo Li, he also admitted that Morax's "martial arts" and "skills" were absolutely top-notch, and he was worthy of being a number one in the world.

Even he might not be a match for Morax in terms of 'skills'!

…………

"What? Why don't you take action yet?"

Looking at Hinata Sakaguchi who was standing motionless opposite him, Mo Li just asked lightly.

This sentence was a reminder. Hinata Sakaguchi knew that she couldn't drag it on any longer. Once she waited for the opponent to launch an attack, the 'initiative' would be lost. Once the 'initiative' was lost, her chances of winning would be even lower!

And she had a premonition that she might not be able to hold on for 'half an incense stick' of time.

Forget it, just take action!

She must win this fight today!

Thinking of this, Sakaguchi Hinata's eyes were full of determination, and he attacked Mo Li with a long sword in hand.

The moves were so fierce that they frightened countless people.

However, facing this terrifying sword, there was not the slightest ripple in Mo Li's indifferent golden eyes.

It’s really good, but... too slow!
