Martial Arts System
Chapter 57: Do You Believe In Miracles?

''This is the place?'' A handsome-looking individual said, he had strikingly beautiful white hair, with angular eyebrows, sharp jawline, and bright grey eyes.

He was currently looking at the metal gate which was located not far from his position.

''Yes...'' Next to him, an average-looking man said, he was only about 170cm tall with messy black hair and brown eyes, he was currently wearing a traditional priest outfit with the color of black.

The handsome-looking individual's name is Rankless King Solorin.

The average-looking individual's name is Rankless King Heathen.

They are currently standing outside the metal gates which lead to Gensa...

''Time to wreak havoc.'' Solorin had a huge grin on his handsome face.

Heathen sighed and asked. ''Why are we doing this?''

''We are here to lit up the flames of war, remember?'' Solorin rolled his eyes and said.

''But why us?'' Heathen asked with annoyance.

Solorin shrugged and answered. ''We were the closest ones, but it is fucking annoying that the Underworld dogs think they can order us.'' He spat out angrily.

''Easy now... If they hear you, they would kill you in instant.'' Heathen reminded.

Solorin clicked his tongue and started walking towards the metal gate.

Heathen rolled his eyes and followed behind him.

After they arrived at the 50m mark from the metal gates, they heard a loud yell.

''HALT! WHO IS THERE?!''

Both of them looked up and saw a man with a guard uniform yelling.

Heathen turned his head towards Solorin.

Solorin smirked, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

*Snap*

[Shock Terror]

The snap of fingers caused a huge shockwave, which traveled straight at the metal gate, crushing it to pieces.

*CRKKKKK*

*CRASHHHH*

Solorin looked with a slight smile as the metal gate fell down on the ground.

*WAAHHHHHHH*

The whole area around the gate started flashing in red lights, with the loud sound of sirens echoing.

Dozens of guards instantly appeared in the place of the metal gate, while the strong-looking man was leading them.

The guards aimed their guns at them and loaded the guns.

The strong-looking man raised his hand and yelled. ''FIRE!''

*BANG*

*BANG*

*BANG*

Hundreds of bullets instantly flew straight at Solorin and Heathen.

Solorin put his hand forward and again snapped his fingers.

*Snap*

[Shock Terror]

*WHIIISH*

Shockwave traveled through the air, which crushed the bullets into nothingness.

''Wha...'' The guards went pale, while the strong-looking man started sweat dropping.

'Martial King?!' The strong-looking man thought with panic.

Solorin lowered his hand, he looked at the destruction in front of him which caused pleasure to run through his body.

Solorin's Power Trait is called Shockwave Generator.

It allows him to create a powerful shockwave with only a snap of his fingers.

''Your turn~'' Solorin told with a smirk.

Heathen sighed, he started kneeling.

He put his hands together for a prayer.

He closed his eyes and started to concentrate.

Wind around them stopped blowing, the world turned silent.

The Guards gulped with fear.

While the strong-looking man was trembling. 'Don't tell me he is another Martial King?!'

*WHEW*

Heathen took a deep breath and started murmuring.

''Miracle Of The North, Night Shall Turn Day.''

Heathen's body started glowing on bright yellow.

The dark sky suddenly disappeared.

The Guards and the strong-looking man looked with fascination, then they paled...

They saw the sun appearing in the sky... But it was dozen times bigger than the ordinary sun...

The ground below them started melting, air turning hotter and hotter with each passing second.

''Fuck, this your ability is so annoying.'' Solorin cursed and jumped away from Heathen because the heat next to him was almost unbearable.

If you look closely, you can clearly see the ground below Heathen melting.

*WHEW*

Heathen took another deep breath.

With a slam, he opened his eyes which has turned from brown into glowing yellow.

*SHIISHHHHH*

''ARGHHHHHHH!'' The Guards and the strong-looking man cried out painfully, while their bodies were covered in flames, but it didn't last long because soon their bodies turned into ashes.

Also, the fortress, which separates Ansan and Gensa disappeared completely, while the trees and grass around the fortress turned into flames.

Heathen's glowing yellow eyes disappeared, and his brown eyes replaced them shortly.

*Whew*

Heathen took another breath.

The sky darkened again and the sun disappeared without leaving any traces.

Heathen stood up from his kneeling position, he patted the dust off from his pants.

He looked at the destruction around him, he only shrugged.

He took a step forwards.

''I guess I am in Gensa now.''' Heathen said, with a slight smile he started walking onwards while enjoying the view of destroyed nature.

Shortly afterward Solorin appeared next to him.

''Whew, that was scary!'' He grinned.

Heathen rolled his eyes.

Heathen's Power Trait is called Do You Believe In Miracles.

Do You Believe In Miracles allows him to do things that are miraculous, like the sun appearing in the night, but that power alone has a huge drawback; He can't use it without praying and more powerful the ability, the longer it takes to summon.

Solorin and Heathen kept walking towards nearby settlements, but since they are so close to the fortress; only wasteland is in front of them, reaching to the horizons.

Solorin narrowed his eyes and stopped walking.

Heathen perked up his ears and also stopped.

''You heard that?'' Solorin asked with narrowed eyes.

''Yes...'' Heathen answered

They looked ahead and saw a cloud of dust on the horizon.

''Someone is coming,'' Solorin said and started preparing for a fight.

Heathen also clearly felt the power coming from the cloud of dust.

''Hmm... Peak Martial King.'' Heathen told with a slightly surprised face.

Solorin also looked surprised while feeling the energy coming from the cloud of dust.

Both Solorin and Heathen are Middle Martial King.

Mars is also Middle Martial King.

That's why meeting Peak Martial King in a small country like Gensa is a big surprise.

But Peak and Middle aren't that different in Martial King ranks if compared in strength, because, with Powerful Power Trait, a Middle Martial King can even kill Low Martial Emperor who has weak Power Trait.

Starting from Martial King, the ranks aren't determined with the test, instead, they start emitting energy after Limiter gets broken.

The more powerful energy, the stronger the person's body, mind, and soul are.

But that energy doesn't determine the strength of the user's Power Trait.

But usually, the power of their body, mind, soul, and the power of the broken limiter gives for that person.

But stronger the energy... Stronger the Power Trait gets.

That's why even the weakest Power Trait keeps getting stronger, but those who get stronger Power Traits first have a huge advantage.

Power Trait comes from the broken limiter, but the Power Trait isn't the only thing the broken limiter gives.

The broken limiter also starts erupting energy which makes the person's body stronger and more durable.

That's why Martial Emperor can have useless Power Trait, but their body is far stronger than Martial Kings.

But Martial King with strong Power Trait, but the weaker body can still kill Martial Emperor.

But killing Martial Emperor is very hard... Because the Energy makes their bodies very durable, they are almost like a tank.

That's why people who reach Martial King have to increase the power of the energy first.

But it isn't that simple...

Heathen and Solorin weren't feeling even the slightest tinge of fear while looking at the cloud of dust.

Even though the upcoming person is a higher rank than them.

Both of them have very powerful Power Traits and they are only 1 rank below.

They have faith that they can even kill Arkenthym if they work together.

Of course, they haven't met Arkenthym or even heard about his strength.

But he is only 786th rank Emperor, how strong can he even be? That's what they keep thinking.

They finally saw the upcoming person appearing from the cloud of dust.

He moved like he was teleporting and shortly afterward, he arrived 100 meters away from the duo.

The person who arrived had a scary-looking grin on his face, with messy long red hair. His body was very muscular, standing at a height of 200cm at least. His face was filled with scars, which made it almost impossible to see his features, but they could see his clear red eyes, fitting with his hair.

''Hello!'' That person said with a huge grin.

Solorin raised an eyebrow. ''And who the fuck are you?''

''Kekekeke, HAHAHAHA!'' He chuckled first until he burst into laughter.

Solorin and Heathen looked at him warily, with narrowed eyes.

''I guess I am not very famous yet eh?'' The mysterious person said.

''Everyone in Gensa recognizes my face...'' He murmured sadly, because of his scary face, everyone would start running if they even see a glimpse of him.

...But it isn't only because of his looks...

It is also because of his reputation.

*Sigh*

The mysterious person sighed and said. ''I am the so-called Mad King.''

Solorin and Heathen widened their eyes, they know about the name of Mad King, which is quite infamous in the Underworld.

But everyone thought that the Mad King was Mars' subordinate because he is weaker...

But it seems that Mad King is at least stronger in terms of energy.

''I know you.'' Solorin grinned.

Mad King also grinned. ''Good!''

Heathen sighed while looking at the two madmen, he took off his gloves.

He looked straight at Mad King's eyes and asked. ''Do You Believe In Miracles?''

''Nah, Miracles are only fantasy.'' Mad King smirked and his body turned into bloody red.

Solorin and Heathen took their fighting stances.

Solorin raised his hands in front of him while looking closely at Mad King's movement.

Heathen on the other hand put his hand for prayer while his eyes started turning in different colors.

Mad King cracked his knuckles, he smirked viciously.

The first fight in the war between Martial Artists and Rankless Kings...

Begins...
