Chapter 1310: Ai: Isn't This Too Fast?
After another wave.
The young boy lay on the ground covered in blood, only alive due to his tenacity as a demon preventing him from dying.
"Isn't this hairless brat supposed to be the Sword God? Why is his wide-range attack so powerful too?The sand in the air gathered once more, reforming into the uncle's figure.
He stared at Eiji in disbelief, cursing profusely.
His Blazer ability was to manipulate the concept of dryness, allowing him to achieve elemental transformation.
"Huh?"
Eiji immediately shot him a hostile glare.
"You damn bastard, think you've got a lot of hair? Sadalmelik Albus (Water Spirit's White Steel)!A Gorgon appeared mid-air, forming a treasure vase seal with her hands, pouring out endless waves that surged toward the uncle and the young boy.
"Ha! Another fool deceived by my desertification ability!"The uncle laughed maniacally."
"I already killed the Alliance's second-ranked before—the amount of water he released could submerge a modern city. What use is your little water... No, wait, what's with this water? Why is my body— Hold on, stop, no, I don't want to die, spare me ahhhhh!!"
His arrogance lasted less than ten seconds.
Initially, he could use the concept of dryness to repel the waves submerging him, but soon his body gradually regressed into a teenager, then even a child.
In under fifteen seconds, his body completely reverted to an infant, and in sheer terror, he turned into a fertilized egg.
"How much hair do you have now, dumbass?"
Eiji laughed gleefully.
Kurogane Ikki and the others felt chills run down their spines.
The world's strongest mercenary, someone with strength rivaling Saikyo Nene, was effortlessly defeated in an instant!
"Now, what do you plan to do?"
Immediately after, Eiji turned his gaze elsewhere.
The Black Knight, holding the convulsing young boy, leaped out of the wave's range.
"Miss Black Knight, why did you save the Puppet King?"
Kurogane Ikki also composed himself, looking gravely at the Black Knight.
If she hadn't carried the Puppet King away earlier, he would have turned into a fertilized egg along with the Desert Reaper, ending this battle!
"He is my younger brother."
The Black Knight said quietly.
"So?"
Eiji tilted his head.
"Do you think a terrorist who destroyed some neighboring country, secretly controlled millions on Earth, and could destabilize the world at any moment deserves forgiveness?"
"No, I'm not that arrogant. I just want to protect him."
The Black Knight shook her head.
"Black Knight, I heard that back then, the Puppet King manipulated you, using your hands to kill your parents and everyone in the village, right?"
Saikyo Nene sneered.
"You still want to protect such a scum of a brother?"
"That's right."
"Idiot, Alrescha Glacies (Enchantress's Azure Ice)!"
Eiji waved his hand.
The demonic bird angrily flapped its wings, unleashing endless cold air toward them.
The Black Knight felt a chill in her heart. She quickly leaped up, trying to escape the area of the freezing aura.
Her ability was a conceptual system of indomitability, meaning infinite health lock and automatic recovery. Her physical body's strength could be called the world's finest, but she was uniquely helpless against elemental systems like ice that combined restraint!
"Go back!"
Eiji kicked out into empty space.
The Black Knight in mid-air suddenly seemed to be struck by something, forcefully kicked back to their original position, and in the blink of an eye was frozen together with the Puppet King by absolute zero cold air.
Kurogane Ikki's eyes widened in disbelief.
Forgive his bluntness, but he, a swordsman who built his foundation on stealing techniques, simply couldn't perceive any of the mysteries behind Eiji's kick just now!
"I'll leave the rest to you."
Eiji waved his hand, looking completely uninterested.
He turned around and directly vanished from this land.
The others exchanged glances for quite some time, feeling both speechless and deeply impressed.
You've already solved everything, what else could we possibly do?
After not seeing him for some time, this guy has become increasingly powerful!
...
Sword Peak Edelberg, Earth's highest peak towering over 10,000 meters.
Here, temperatures plummeted to dozens of degrees below zero, icy winds cut like knives against one's face, and oxygen levels were astonishingly low—no place for ordinary people to inhabit.
Yet in a canyon over 8,000 meters high, where the winds were relatively gentler, someone had built a mountain cabin.
Only one person could live in such a place.
The former world's strongest swordswoman—Twin-Wings Edelweiss! The one for whom both the Alliance and Coalition abandoned their pursuit, and whose surrounding territory was willingly ceded by various nations, making it an ungoverned zone!
At the foot of Sword Peak, countless people came seeking the title of world's strongest, while numerous swordsmen sought the world's supreme sword techniques.
With a single step, Eiji arrived outside the cabin.
"It's you?"
Soon enough, the cabin door opened, and a silver-haired beauty emerged.
The black sweater accentuated her alluring figure, while the apron around her waist gave off a strong domestic vibe.
"Didn't you just win the representative battle? How did you appear here so suddenly?"
Edelweiss looked at Eiji with complete surprise.
The television inside was broadcasting scenes from the Familiion representative battle, with the host lamenting their inability to interview the Sword God. Who would have imagined the Sword God himself would appear directly at Twin-Wings' place?
"This is the Realm of Heavenly Principles. Aren't you going to invite me in?"
"Come in."
Edelweiss stepped aside, guiding Eiji into the room.
Upon entering, warm air greeted him—apparently, underfloor heating was installed.
"Wait a moment, I'm baking a cake. You can help me taste test it!"
Edelweiss turned and walked into the kitchen.
Despite being over 8,000 meters up a mountain, there was running water, electricity, underfloor heating, and even television signal?
How marvelous!
"How is it?"
Placing the golden cake on the table, Edelweiss looked at him with eager anticipation.
"Very sweet, not bad at all."
Eiji gave an honest compliment.
Edelweiss smiled with satisfaction and pride.
"What did you mean earlier by the Realm of Heavenly Principles?"
Then she remembered Eiji's earlier remark.
"Want to learn? I can teach you!"
Eiji said with a playful smile.
His hand crept across the table, gradually moving closer to Edelweiss's side, until it grasped her slender hand.
At the same time, he explained the Heavenly Principle realm in detail to Edelweiss.
"So there's such a realm beyond my current level? You've completely surpassed me!"
Edelweiss let out a long sigh.
While sighing, her eyes also shone with renewed determination.
She lowered her head.
Before she realized it, she had ended up sitting in Eiji's lap. His hands moved upward from her waist, leaving trails of blazing fire wherever they touched.
"...Isn't this too fast?"
Edelweiss' face flushed crimson.
This person had actually integrated swordsmanship into his finger techniques, using sword arts to tease her senses!
Is this how swordsmanship is supposed to be used!
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Bringing his lips close to Edelweiss' ear, Eiji chuckled softly.
Edelweiss trembled slightly, her eyes gradually becoming dazed under Eiji's finger massage.
"Beep beep beep!"
Eiji's movements suddenly stopped.
Edelweiss also snapped back to reality, her face red as she gently pushed him away.
"Whoever sent that message, I'm going to fuck them up!"
Though Eiji's smile remained unchanged, he was cursing the sender vehemently in his heart.
He opened his student handbook.
"Help me."
