Chapter 4087 – The Warrior King and the Emperor (Part 2)

“Do you mind, dear?” Meron had saved his Vital Storm for this exact moment. “I need a sparring partner. And who better than you to show everyone how effective our new weapon really is?”

Sylpha caught the nuance in his wording—and so did anyone with even a basic sense of politics. Lith had presented Vital Storm as something he wished to share. The King had just framed it as an asset of the Kingdom, not merely a creation of the Verhen Household.

The Royals began with a light spar. Their movements were fast, yet clean enough that even the untrained could follow. Then Meron accelerated. Only violet-cored Awakened could track the exchange; to everyone else, the King and Queen’s arms seemed to vanish.

The only proof of the battle were the heavy thuds of blocked strikes and the sharp snaps of limbs slicing through the air.

The fight remained evenly matched—a surprise to both Raagu and Inxialot.

The Queen was widely considered the superior fighter, and the King’s life force was still fractured. Yet he met her blow for blow with effortless precision. Then Meron drew on Vital Storm, increasing his strength and accuracy without gaining speed.
