Chapter 1158: Jest’s Dominance
Jest smiled at Adrian and then sheathed his sword and gave him a gentle bow. "Thanks for your cooperation, Adrian."
Adrian didn’t know how to feel about any of this. He had just been tricked into using his sword realm, only to be copied and turned into a sword skill.
That is not something anybody would want.
Sword realms are something special to every swordsman, so copying somebody’s sword realm is akin to becoming them in every aspect.
But while using the sword realm can differ since Jest doesn’t live in Adrian’s head, copying them is still something to be afraid of.
But, Jest not only learned his sword realm, but he even turned it into a sword skill that he can improve on for years to come.
"You know what, nice meeting you too, Jest. One day, when you make it to the god world, maybe we will meet. I would love to have a true sword battle with you."
Jest smiled and nodded.
’So my suspicion is true. He is indeed real.’
A wicked smile appeared on Jest’s face, but Adrian seemed to have seen through him. "You are wondering whether the sword realm I showed is indeed the complete form. But even if it isn’t, this smile on your face says you want to experience the real deal, huh?"
"It is only natural to end what we started."
Adrian smiled and tapped Jest on the shoulder. "You might want to become a Sword God fast, then. I have a feeling we are going to have a much bigger battle one of these days."
Jest nodded. "I can’t wait for that day to come."
Adrian smiled and pointed to the side.
A portal formed. "I am not sure they are going to fall for the same trick, so don’t slack off."
Jest nodded, already aware that the next levels would be difficult. However, thanks to Seraphina and Adrian, he managed to copy the two-sword realm.
Naturally, this also opened his mind to what he had to do next to form his sword realm and become a Sword Emperor.
’I just need 30 minutes with them and their sword realm will be mine,’ he thought as he walked closer to the portal. ’Unless, of course, they choose not to use it.’
He paused and let an evil smile appear on his face. ’But what then are they going to do if I start bombarding them with Sword Realm sword skills?’
With the smile on his face, he appeared in an arena where a beautiful lady, wielding two swords, stood waiting for him.
The moment Jest appeared inside the arena, the lady raised one sword and activated her sword realm. In an instant, thousands of white lights appeared in the air and shot at Jest.
"Oh, right off the bat, I see." He also raised his sword and unleashed Adrian’s sword realm, causing thousands of broken swords to shoot out, colliding with the white lights.
Jest charged forward and engaged in melee with the lady, who didn’t want to give him a chance to even experience her sword realm.
Unbeknownst to her, activating it alone is enough for Jest.
Minutes went by, but neither Jest nor the lady took a break. Their swords kept meeting in fierce attacks.
No swordsman watching this battle could afford to turn away from it.
They all focused on the close combat, while the sword realms continued to clash, too. Of course, since Jest was merely a Sword King without a real sword realm, he was being overpowered.
However, when it came to close combat, he was moving effortlessly, showing the lady he had not only mastered all forms of swordplay, but he had actually created a counter for every last one.
Twenty-five minutes later, Jest smiled and distanced himself from the lady.
"Have you given up?" she asked, pointing one sword at Jest.
The latter smiled and shook his head. "I don’t give up easily, lady. I only moved back to show you this." Jest raised his sword, and under the shocked gaze of everyone, thousands of white lights appeared in the air.
"Impossible..."
The lady took a few steps back, her expression shocked. "Nothing is impossible, lady... Nothing."
Jest winked at her and gestured forward. "Now, show me how you will defend against your own sword realm."
A few seconds later, the lady was defeated.
"Your name is Jest, right?" the lady asked, and Jest nodded.
"I am Sword Saintess Mirily of the Light Sword Temple. Find me when you get to the god world." She took a swing, and a portal opened. "This battle will be continued properly then."
"I look forward to it."
Jest gave her a small bow as thanks for allowing him to experience her sword realm. She gave him a nod of approval, and Jest was off on his way.
The third level took Jest to a mountaintop where a demon man with red skin and two twisted horns sat sharpening a sabre.
"They call me the Red Blood Sabre King. Do well to remember that name before I defeat you."
Jest smiled and sarcastically replied, "My name is Jest, no last name, no middle name."
"Then prepare to face me, Jest."
Jest nodded, then a grin appeared on his face as he side-stepped to his left, evading a powerful vertical swing of the demon’s sabre.
"Clone, huh... Makes me remember the Mirage King. Defeating that bastard took me a while."
Jest had already suspected the demon was a clone, so he prepared for the real copy to appear, and just when he did, the battle began, turning into a fierce and deadly one.
The Red Blood Sabre King’s sword realm was as one would expect. It was a domain of blood and carnage where every sword arc turned into a blood arc. Also, the bloodier the battle, the stronger it grew.
It was the kind of sword realm that required constant slaughter to master.
But an hour later, Jest manifested the domain into one deadly sword slash that formed a dragon head made from red sword aura.
In the end, the demon was defeated...
"Hmm, master was right. There are indeed those who just don’t make sense."
Jest smiled and bowed toward the heavily panting demon. "Thanks, senior."
The demon shooed him away, annoyed that he couldn’t defeat Jest.
The sly Jest smiled and jumped into the portal leading to the fourth level. There, he met another demon, but this one was very handsome and had a sword box containing ten swords.
He placed the sword box vertically on the ground and sat on it in a lotus posture.
"Classic," Jest couldn’t help admiring this display as his gaze landed on the demon.
"You seek to learn my sword realm, huh?" He opened his eyes, causing a potent sword intent to envelop the area.
Jest smiled and nodded. "I am currently stuck on my sword path, so if this senior can enlighten me, I will be eternally grateful."
The demon studied Jest with his jade-like eyes for a few minutes before a smile appeared on his face.
"Very well. Adrian is my junior, so if you managed to get past him, then I suppose you are qualified to challenge the Ten-Star Sword God." The sword box opened on both vertical sides, and five swords came out of each side.
They rose into the air and formed a star shape.
"Magnificent," Jest murmured and then pulled out his sword. "Let’s dance."

Kent opened his eyes, causing a terrifying sword intent to envelop the entire Sword Tower.
