THE BATTLE OF 1000 SPIRITS

CHAPTER 7: THE MARQUIS OFFER

Everyone was staring at the origin of the scream where there was a man about 50 years old with short white hair due to age and luxurious clothes, there were hundreds of soldiers standing upright behind him while holding their weapons. Based on their aura, it could be felt that all of these warriors were warriors who had experienced the battlefield even though they were not elite troops. After all, there was a huge difference in ability between soldiers who had experienced the battlefield as well as those who had never fought even once.

Seeing the arrival of this man, without waiting for him to introduce himself, Mili more or less already knew his identity.

Under everyone's gaze, the man took a step forward "Are you Miss Milier Lux? Sorry for not introducing myself before, I am Marquis Bonjer of the current Talem Kingdom, Garguis Hun Bonjer! I have listened to your prowess in the past, even you were once dubbed as an invincible general! Therefore, I will make an offer to you, join us! Didn't the 1000 Spirit Battle just declare the victor would realize what they expected? But the rules make absolutely no mention of the limit on the number of winners!".

"Here I have proven that a master can make a contract with 2 Spirits or even more according to their respective strengths, Holuka and Jirfa are the best evidence and your colleagues before you were hostile so you certainly have worked together. So I will offer you, join us and win the Battle of 1000 Spirits! That way, our 4 people will realize their individual goals".

Jirfa who heard this immediately disagreed with "Master, I refuse to cooperate with this crazy woman! She's a bloodthirsty killer, if she becomes our partner, then this woman might kill us at any moment".

Holuka also tried to say something to refuse, but Garguis immediately opened her mouth "Holuka, Jirfa, I know you have a grudge with Miss Mili due to your past, she said, but on the other hand you certainly also realize how frightening the power of Miss Mili is not it? As long as he is able to use his full strength, you who cooperate with each other though are not his opponents. So, if people as strong as Miss Mili are on your side as well as you are working with each other, our chances of winning will be even greater".

"I know it's hard for you to forget each other's grudges, but I hope you also remember what your goal is to calm down the 1000 Spirit Battle! Do you not have the hope of each of you that you seek to realize? With Miss Mili's help, the chances of us winning are also increasing, I'm sure you're aware of that".

Jirfa and Holuka clasped their weapons very firmly, looking at how much of a grudge they had against Mili they were hard to forget.

The problem is that neither Jirfa nor Holuka remember their respective goals of winning the 1000 Spirit Battle which is more important than avenging them, he said, in fact they consider winning this fight to be much more important than their own lives.

For that reason, Holuka was the one who sighed first "I understand! Miss Mili, as long as you cooperate with us to win the Battle of 1000 Spirits, I will forget all our old enmities and grudges".

Jirfa tried to resist stubbornly, but considering his goal of winning the 1000 Spirit Battle as well as he did admit how strong Mili was, Jirfa threw her face aside showing his acceptance. While saying directly to accept Mili, Jirfa who hates Mili so much will never say that.

Seeing the 2 people giving up, Garguis again smiled kindly "How is Miss Mili? I'm sure you must also have an important reason to win the 1000 Spirit Battle right? After all, only those with strong ambitions could afford to be summoned to this fight from the past. Moreover, the rules said clearly that there were only 1 master who could win, whereas the number of Spirits, there were no rules as long as they followed the same master".

Mili looked towards the Marquis, then a smile appeared on his face that increased the trace of beauty of his to the point of making most of the Marquis' army freeze "A compelling offer, he said, I have to admit you really did a great persuasion, Marquis Bonjer, Garguis Hun Bonjer! But let me tell you my answer, I rejected the offer you gave me! To be honest, I will try to win this fight, even though I will lose my life. The thing is, I'm not interested in following anyone and acknowledging him as my master, let alone by someone like you. Rather than following someone like you, I'd rather be loyal to that guy who's been helping me, so-".

Before they were ready, Mili rushed forward and thrust his spear into one of the enemy soldiers.

"Stabs!".

Mili's spear pierced the neck of a Marquis soldier, then he took advantage of the enemy who was still shocked and slashed another soldier to death before rushing towards Jirfa.

"But!".

Jirfa broke out in cold sweat, he managed to stop Mili's spear which was right in front of his neck. But Mili's spear managed to make a small scratch on his neck so that Jirfa was a little scared, if he was late just now even though it was only a second, his head must have come off.

Holuka was the one who regained consciousness first, flames appeared on her sword and she slashed towards Mili.

Without waiting for Garguis to say anything, Jirfa shouted furiously "Mili, how dare you underestimate me! I'm gonna kill you".

Slowly the figure of Jirfa disappeared, he rushed towards Mili as an invisible shadow of the fox.

Holuka was shocked at the sudden movement of "Jirfa, don't be rash! Shit, I need to help him from Mili's attack!".

Holding his sword covered in flames, Holuka rushed after Jirfa who was trying to attack in a hurry.

On the other hand, Garguis also became panicked, he never thought Mili would turn down an offer that he thought benefited all parties "All of you, help Holuka and Jirfa to kill Mili! Since he rejected my offer, then he must die!".

The other Marquis soldiers regained consciousness from the cry of their leader.

Staring at the corpses of their 2 dead comrades, after being a little sad, they rushed over towards Mili.

They were indeed afraid of the power of Mili who was able to kill 2 of their comrades easily, but the existence of Holuka and Jirfa added to their confidence that they could win.

Mili did not panic against the many people running towards her, he raised his spear while smiling "Jirfa, long ago or now, you still have not changed, still remain rash when acting".

Suddenly Mili thrust his spear back, Mili did not attack in the front where most of his enemies were but he stabbed into the empty rear with nothing but a tree far enough away.

"But!".

The sound of iron collisions rang out, slowly Jirfa's figure appeared behind Mili, his arm slightly injured from the scrape of Mili's sword. But fortunately he held the attack in time, so the wound was not a life-threatening wound.

After that, Mili added strength to his sword which sent Jirfa flung for several meters before hitting a tree hard.

Knowing Jirfa has no life-threatening problems, Holuka seizes the opportunity and appears in front of Mili.

He raised his sword that was filled with burning flames "Explosion of the Spirit of Fire!".

Mili also raised his spear without hesitation, he was ready to stop the Holuka attack.

But a chain emerged from the ground that directly bound Mili's spear, although eventually with Mili's power, the chain shattered with a single pull of force. The problem was due to the disruption of the chain just now, Mili was late for a second so the terrifying fire attack Holuka fell on him.

"Booooom!".
