Chapter 2323 Battle of Top–Sage Levels

“Seems like being expected to perform isn’t all it’s cracked up to be,” Santiago muttered.

He shrugged his shoulders. His stance was worlds apart from the Warlord’s. To anyone watching, he looked more like an elderly man preparing for a casual stroll rather than a battle.

Once he finished his warm–up, both locked eyes, the tension thickening the air.

The sea winds roared, and waves crashed against the boat.

The storm churned violently, splashing against the sides. The small boat rocked, the distant islands standing as silent witnesses to the impending clash between two of the world’s most powerful fighters.

Murdock, though ordered to return to Chanaea, had left behind a small team. They were positioned to keep an eye on Santiago, ready to assist once the fight concluded and their commander emerged victorious.

Murdock glanced back, his gaze lingering on the rare sight unfolding before him. Like the rest of his comrades, he couldn’t help but be struck by the spectacle.

The Warlord’s long robe whipped in the wind. He stood at the bow, hands clasped behind him.

His posture was unwavering, as if the entire world could not stir him. The wind howled, yet he stood firm, a statue made flesh.

Santiago stood opposite, his focus razor–sharp, his eyes piercing the chaos of the storm.

His feet were planted solidly, unmoved by the roaring wind.

“Ha. A once–in–a–lifetime battle is about to begin. I won’t blink. Not even for a second.”

On a distant reef, a man clad in red armor watched in silence, his eyes fixed on the approaching battle.

The Warlord had chosen this spot wisely. He didn’t want to risk his men or his fleet being caught in the crossfire.

“Bring it on, Santiago!” Helios shouted, his voice sharp with excitement.

With a flick of his sleeve, a wave of unseen force surged toward Santiago, bringing with it a scorching heat.

The force twisted into a fiery vortex, speeding toward Santiago, intent on consuming him whole.

Santiago’s face remained a mask of cold resolve, but his eyes burned with confidence.

As a martial artist, he thrived on the challenge. This was no different.

Helios, one of the Upper Three Saints of the New Seven Saints, was a force to be reckoned with. Santiago was eager to see how far the Warlord’s strength could stretch.

“Hyah!” Santiago shouted, raising his hand.

A wave of energy shot forward, cleaving through the flames as though they were nothing.
