Deities: Starting From Goblins

Dashiell Skyward allowed himself a sly smile, feeling that he could once again be arrogant. The allegiance of several major Sects to himself meant that he could now hold his own against the three Lords, not to mention the support of Demonic Sky Gate behind him.

The pressure was immense on the three Lords, but their determination to protect Logan’s heart never wavered, “Let’s have a try and see, for the Quasi-Saint Realm is vastly different. Our realms as Lords are infinitely close to the Saint Seat, while the majority possess strength just slightly above an average Semi-Saint.”

“And don’t forget about me!” At that moment, Peregrine Azure spoke up. It seemed like everyone had forgotten about him. After all, he was from the Saint Sky Sect, and a top-tier Strong One at that, hardly inferior to a few Lords.

Despite the unpleasantness with Logan earlier, and the loss of face it caused, he understood that now was not the time for personal grievances. The safety of the Saint Sky Sect was intimately connected with the three Lords. Logan’s formidable array was also one of their significant forces.

With the addition of Peregrine Azure, indeed, most Sects were fearful. They could afford to offend the three Lords but not the Saint Sky Sect. Although Dashiell Skyward declared that the Supreme Elder of Saint Sky Sect was trapped in the Ancient Secret Realm, who could assure he wouldn’t emerge?

At that moment, Logan spoke casually: “No need for such tension, Demonic Sky Gate can’t bother me. You three Lords needn’t be so concerned. It’s not like I’m a common person without cultivation. My own Realm is actually stronger than my arrays.”

“Dashiell Skyward, do you dare to fight me?” Logan suddenly shifted his gaze towards Dashiell Skyward. “Previously, I slew your Sect’s Great Elder Blood Knife, and now I’m thinking of taking care of you as well.”

“Such insolence!” As soon as these words left Logan’s mouth, all eyes were on him. Of course, Dashiell Skyward could not show weakness. The Great Elder Blood Knife Logan had killed before was only a Half-step Saint Seat, but Dashiell Skyward was a genuine Quasi-Saint.

“I will accept your challenge, but the three Lords cannot intervene. Moreover, in this fight, life and death will be determined by fate, and nobody else should interfere. How’s that?”

Dashiell Skyward smiled with amusement, thinking Logan was just walking into his trap. Without uttering a word, Logan hid behind the Lords, someone Dashiell Skyward truly couldn’t touch for now. But with Logan’s arrogance, he naturally wanted to exploit this opportunity to eliminate the significant threat Logan posed.

The three Lords were alarmed upon hearing this, especially Cain Scarlet, who quickly urged, “Don’t act rashly. Dashiell Skyward has been a Quasi-Saint for decades, and his cultivation has reached a frightening level. There’s no need to challenge him now. What if you can’t defeat him?”

“I disagree too. Don’t worry, we three Lords will surely protect you.” Samuel Westman looked at Logan. In truth, he and Logan were not acquainted, only having learned of such a fearsome presence during their recent gathering of Lords to discuss matters.

However, Westman had heard many rumors about Logan, such as his solitary assistance to Sandy Wexler and his terrifying ability to arrange arrays. Yet, all these were hearsay, and Westman was quite unclear about the extent of Logan’s actual strength.

Logan gestured to reassure them, “If I dare to fight Dashiell Skyward, I obviously have my reasons. He is certainly not my match.”

Whether the three Lords’ concern for him was genuine, or mixed with their fears of him being caught by Demonic Sky Gate, Logan was crystal clear about their motives. Other than Sandy Wexler, who might truly care about him, the other Lords’ concern stemmed more from fear.

“Trust Logan,” Sandy Wexler said to the other two Lords. He knew Logan well enough. The events that took place within the Wexler Clan’s city were imprinted in Wexler’s memory. The mysterious capabilities and tactics of Logan were beyond comprehension.

Dashiell Skyward already stepped forward and looked at Logan in the distance, saying, “What are you muttering about? Weren’t you going to fight? Then hurry up and come over for a decisive battle!”

Logan confidently walked over, and originally, he indeed wasn’t at the strength level of a Quasi-Saint. Ever since his breakthrough to Dominator, he had been capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with a Quasi-Saint. In addition, with several aces up his sleeve and weapons at his disposal, he was confident he could defeat a Quasi-Saint, and even possibly kill one in a single blow.

Most of the sects present had a doubt, why did Logan dare to fight Dashiell Skyward? Wasn’t this clearly just handing him a victory on a silver platter? Of course, Logan’s accomplishments in array might be high, but the battle between the two of them was different, there was no opportunity to arrange arrays or apply array tactics.

Dashiell Skyward wanted to take the initiative and immediately summoned his divine weapon, a great saber. The strength and aura of a Quasi-Saint spread out from the divine weapon and, with his first move, he unleashed a slash governed by the Rule. In an instant, the entire world seemed to dim, leaving only the glow from the great saber.

“Dashiell Skyward is really ruthless, using his best move right from the start, really looking to put Logan to death!” Many Sect Leaders shook their heads, thinking this battle wasn’t worth watching. Previously, they thought it was about how many moves Logan could withstand, but now it seemed it was just a matter of one move; young people are just too full of themselves.

Even if Logan’s array-setting skills were strong, and even though there might be a master instructing him from behind, now Logan was all by himself without the master. Being killed by Dashiell Skyward would just be a waste of that terrifying array-setting technique, which was rare to come across in a hundred years.

Logan originally planned to bring out his divine weapon and have a proper confrontation with Dashiell Skyward for a few rounds, but he thought about his realm still being a notch lower. Even though Dominator and Quasi-Saint were within the same realm, there was still a gap of three small levels, so he needed to startle Dashiell Skyward from the beginning.

Naturally, he thought of his Divine Rune, given to him by the Sanctuary Powerhouse, Mountain Saint Taoist. The Divine Rune could employ the attack of a Saint Seat ten times, and dealing with a Quasi-Saint should not be difficult. After all, he had traded his Qian Kun Bead for it, and if it were too inferior, even the other party would feel embarrassed to give it to him.

The moment the Divine Rune was brought out, and Logan channeled his Spiritual Power into it, the rune hovered in mid-air. A terrifying aura and Rule enveloped everyone present. Then, like an attack from a Saint Seat, a mighty force suddenly burst forth, swallowing Dashiell Skyward’s attack in an instant. The power continued to surge forward, giving Dashiell Skyward no chance to react, and he was already sent flying.

This scene shocked everyone present; all the Sect Heads, being knowledgeable people, recognized it immediately. Inside the rune was the power of a Saint Seat? And it was not merely a simple strike from a Saint Seat, but more like a Divine Skill crafted by a Saint Seat over hundreds of years.

Now everyone understood, no wonder Logan dared to fight Dashiell Skyward, no wonder he was always calm and composed. Turns out he had such a terrifying weapon in his hand, that unless a real Saint Seat came, nobody could do anything to Logan, as he could easily slay a Quasi-Saint.

“How could such a young Array Master possibly have cultivated it by himself? There must be a master behind him,” Sandy Wexler was nearly certain that this Divine Rune must have been given by Logan’s master, and moreover, it surely had to be someone above the level of a Sanctuary Powerhouse, as ordinary Sanctuary Powerhouses did not have this standard.

Many Sect Heads envied and feared. If Dashiell Skyward really died at Logan’s hand? Should they take seriously what they previously said about joining the Demonic Sky Gate? If they were to explain everything to the Sect Head of the Demonic Sky Gate, the Sect Head would definitely not believe them, and might even think they were in cahoots with Logan.

With just one strike, Dashiell Skyward was injured and returned in defeat, “You’re too cunning, using a Saint Seat’s methods against me? Can’t we have an open and fair fight?”

Dashiell Skyward was thoroughly scared now, certain that if he took another hit from that Divine Rune, he would inevitably fall, so he had to make Logan give up using the Divine Rune.

“You never said we couldn’t use it!” Logan retorted with a sneer, suggesting he should use righteousness to accuse him? Logan was far from being a noble gentleman.
