"Black Sin Hammer 37 wins," Senior Protector Blooddrought announced. By now, she had also started to become shocked and surprised.
Overlord Cloudhorn looked at Kyle with narrowed eyes. The amount of Energy Kyle had used in the battle was incredible.
"Black Sin Hammer 37 was a Legendary Crusher before, essentially doubling the Energy he has access to," he transmitted to General Regalia. "Yet, this can't explain why he has that much Energy."
"Correct," General Regalia answered. "Based on Protector Ziccan, Black Sin Hammer 37 has only used a third of his available Energy in this fight, ignoring regeneration. His Center is just as powerful as his body."
Overlord Cloudhorn took a deep breath. This meant that, in terms of quality, Black Sin Hammer 37 could also rival Overlord Cloudhorn's Center. Two of his Aspects had reached the quality of an Ascendant.
Kyle's companions were not as shocked. Having two Infused Level 5.5 Laws was not common in the Wisdom Fire Realm, but Unique and Legendary Sages should still have access to them. If the team had access to Level Five Law Wells, they would also have two Infused Level 5.5 Laws. In fact, some of them would probably even have three, while still having access to their Level Five External Complex Law.
If they had access to the necessary resources, they would be even stronger than what Kyle had shown up to now.
"Thank you for the duel," Voidbolt said respectfully.
"No problem," Kyle answered.
Voidbolt left the area since he wasn't allowed to watch the other challenges, and after he left, Senior Protector Blooddrought looked at Kyle. "Are you ready for the next challenge? I must warn you, the next challenge will be significantly harder to complete."
"I'm ready," Kyle said calmly.
Senior Protector Blooddrought slightly furrowed her brows. She had designed these challenges, and she had planned them according to Kyle's claims.
Beating the first challenge represented being above average for a Lieutenant General.
Beating the second challenge represented being either one of the strongest Lieutenant Generals or being the absolute strongest, depending on how the fight went. Based on what she had seen, not even the strongest Lieutenant General would be able to pose a threat to Kyle.
And if Kyle did well in the third challenge, he could be considered the strongest Sage Humanity had ever had.
An instant later, something appeared below Kyle. It was a humanoid Demon with scales and several arms, similar to the previous Fighter Demon. This time, the Demon carried several swords.
Yet, compared to the last Fighter Demon, this Fighter Demon was not in the Wisdom Fire Realm.
This was a New Spirit Lord Fighter Demon.
There was a significant difference between Peak Sage Demons and New Spirit Lord Demons. Not only were they much stronger, but they also had access to their own Domain.
The most talented Sages in history managed to win against regular New Spirit Lord Demons, but these fights had been rare and extremely difficult. These had been genuine and brutal True Battles.
As for a New Spirit Lord Fighter Demon...
Maybe only that mythical Sage from countless years ago could win, but it wouldn't be easy.
As Fierce Breaker saw Kyle's opponent, his brows furrowed. Even if he had access to all the resources he wanted...
He might not win.
A Level 5.5 Infused Body Law would only match the Demon's body. In order to deal with its Domain, Fierce Breaker would also need an Infused Level Five Soul Law. However, creating an Infused Soul Law required an Infused Mind Law. Lastly, he would need a strong External Law to get through its defenses, and he would need a Level 5.5 Infused Center Law to give him enough Energy.
There were only two ways in which Fierce Breaker could win against this thing, assuming he had access to all Law Wells.
One, he needed an Infused Body, Mind, Soul Law with a powerful External Law and a strong Imposing Law. This would allow him to fight the Demon on equal footing.
Two, he needed an Infused Body and Center Law with an External Law and a condensed Refined Law. This would give him a chance to break through the Demon's defenses and give him an opportunity to kill it quickly.
Both things would be difficult to achieve, and the fight would be brutal and risky.
If Kyle managed to win convincingly, Fierce Breaker would admit that Kyle could reach powers that he couldn't.
Yet, Kyle didn't even have access to all the Law Wells he wanted. He had only been able to access one Level Five Law Well. The fact that he already had two strong Infused Laws was crazy, considering his limited resources.
It was obvious how Kyle had created his Level 5.5 Body Law, but Fierce Breaker wasn't sure what Kyle had done to condense his Level 5.5 Center Law.
Well, condensing the Level 5.5 Center Law had been quite a bit of work. In fact, Kyle had fused a whopping twelve Essences.
Yang Earth, Yin Earth, Minor Earth, Yang Metal, Yin Metal, Minor Metal, Yang Darkness, Yin Darkness, Minor Darkness, Yang Light, Yin Light, and Minor Light.
Fusing all the lower Laws of an Element made a Level 3.5 Law, which meant Kyle had access to four of them. Fusing two of these Level 3.5 Laws made a very powerful Level Four Law.
One had to remember that Kyle had created his first Level 3.5 Law in the Transcendent Realm by combining four Level Two Laws. A Level 2.5 Law only needed two Level Two Laws, and it would be quite powerful. One could also make a Level 2.5 Law by fusing a Level One and a Level Two Law, but it would be much weaker. The weaker one could be classified as roughly a Level 2.4 Law, while the stronger one would be a Level 2.6 Law.
By combining two Level 3.5 Laws, Kyle could create a Level 4.3 Law, which would count as the weakest Level 4.5 Law. Then, by combining two of the weakest Level 4.5 Laws, he could make an average Level Five Law. Lastly, he just needed to infuse the Level Five Law Essence into his Level Five Major Law of Center, and he would get a pretty strong Level 5.5 Law.
This was a lot of work and required comprehending thirteen Laws in total. Afterward, one would need to combine twelve Essences, which was not easy.
All of this work... just to replace comprehending a regular, normal, Pure Level Five Law, which could have achieved the same thing.
Kyle had taken all the low-level trash that no Sage even looked at and made something amazing out of it.
"Are you ready?" Senior Protector Blooddrought asked.
"I'm ready," Kyle answered.
Senior Protector Blooddrought nodded and released the suppression on the New Spirit Lord Fighter Demon.
The Fighter Demon immediately focused on Kyle and activated its Domain.
The world around Kyle became oppressive as metal and earth turned air into solid and hard matter. Moving through the air was akin to moving through hardened metal.
The Fighter Demon charged right towards Kyle, but after flying for just a bit, it noticed that Kyle was surprisingly far away.
The world around the Fighter Demon changed, and reality warped.
Kyle had activated his Domain.
This time, even Kyle's companions were shocked.
This Domain...
How was Kyle's Infused Soul Law also on Level 5.5?!
Was his Infused Mind Law also on Level 5.5?!
Overlord Cloudhorn's eyes widened in shock and horror.
Black Sin Hammer 37...
It couldn't be, right?!
If Overlord Cloudhorn's Realm were reduced to the Legendary Wisdom Fire Realm while still retaining all of his insights and powers...
Fighting Kyle would be a True Battle!
Had Kyle's Battle-Strength reached the average Battle-Strength of an Ascendant in Ayuvar?!
As a Sage?!
