Volume 1 Chapter 20: The Wind King's Hammer

  "Hmm! I've said a lot already, and those words just now were to thank you for helping me reach the Seventh Sense!" Dis appeared behind Kuro no Ken, his right hand raised in a knife-hand pose, placed on the nape of the sword god's neck. "Now, you can rest easy too!"

  "Wait a minute!" The Sword God hastily spoke out to stop Dis.

  "Oh! Are you afraid of death? This is not what a warrior should be!" Dis lowered his right hand, looking at the Sword God, waiting to see what he would say.

  "...Just a little more time! I can feel it soon... It's just like this, it's just like this feeling!" The Sword God's words were somewhat disjointed, as if he was enduring immense pain. His body continued to absorb the surrounding dark Dou Qi and the eerie death Qi.

  Di's eyes widened in surprise as he stared at the Sword God before him. This guy... was this a sudden enlightenment? What an enviable talent, it's terrifying! He's going to become a Divine Rank soon? However, in a place like this, the dark elements are mixed with death energy! I'm afraid he won't even become a Divine Rank before...

  "Hey, if you keep going like this, I won't guarantee that your soul will remain intact! The corpse energy here is not suitable for your cultivation!" Di Su said out loud, but he didn't take action to stop him!

  "I... know, the Dark Element... contains a vast amount of death energy! But... even if it's like this! Even if my soul is scattered, this is also... a warrior's dream!" The Sword God's body was constantly convulsing at this time, and his face was alternating between black and green.

  "Dreams! How naive! Hmph! I'd like to see how long your dreams can keep you going!" Dis sneered with a smirk.

  "Hmm! Ah!……" The Sword God suddenly stood up and shouted loudly! A large amount of black aura carrying a massive amount of death energy rapidly rushed into the Sword God's body, causing a brief elemental vacuum around him! Dis quickly jumped to the side and retreated several steps. What a dangerous breakthrough! What did he finally comprehend? With so much death energy, his soul could still remain intact, truly not simple!

  A loud explosion! The place where Jian Shen was located exploded, strong winds blew up waves of dust, rapidly spreading out...

  "Cough, cough! This guy, what a big commotion!" Dis looked at the dusty place, is he dead? What a reckless guy! It seems your dreams aren't solid enough yet! A disappointing guy! Hmph!

  "Hey! You don't think I'm dead, do you?!" Just as Dis turned around, the voice of Jian Shen came from behind him! Although Jian Shen's voice was a bit weak at this time, it was filled with excitement! He succeeded, and at this moment, he had truly become a god-tier!!

  "Oh! You're quite resilient, huh? To think you actually succeeded!" Dis turned around, looking at the Sword God with a scornful smile.

  "You're one! Truly an unpleasant fellow, saying that dreams are childish, what about you? Don't tell me you don't have any! Clearly dead, yet crawling back from the underworld!" The Sword God smiled as he looked at Dis, his body starting to disappear from the legs up, turning into a wisp of green ghostly fire drifting upwards. Looking at his own increasingly transparent body, the Sword God was also nonchalant "Looks like my time is almost up, huh?"

  "Hmph! Boring guy, didn't you end up dead in the end?! Go on your own! I won't see you off!" Dis turned around and waved his hand, then disappeared into the underworld!

  "Is that it, just like this? I still have some last words to say to him! Disdmask? What a stubborn person! But he's not a bad opponent. Unfortunately, I couldn't use my powers to fight him... It seems he didn't even ask for my name? What an impolite household..." As the Sword God muttered to himself, his body gradually dispersed and finally turned into a large cluster of ghostly flames that drifted towards the underworld...

  Francis and Saber were constantly shuttling back and forth in the forest, when the strong wind eagle flew back to where they had fought earlier, which was also where the three groups of people first met! Francis encountered Saber chasing after him on his way back, so the two turned around and went back together.

  "Hmm! Young master, the presence of Dismausk has disappeared! The dark sword god is also gone! Those two won't be...?" Saber can no longer sense Dis's presence.

  "Disappeared? Two people... Oh! I get it, don't worry, we'll continue. Deis has already reached the Seventh Sense, no reason he can't handle that Sword God. And if his aura disappears, that's probably Deis' ultimate move, Corpse Qi Netherworld Wave!!" Francis thought for a moment and realized that Deis had used his trump card.

  "Corpse Gas... Netherworld Wave?" Saber was a bit surprised to hear this name for the first time!

  "This move can send the enemy's soul to the entrance of the underworld, Huangquan is better than Biliibo! As for Dis, he can come and go freely!" Francis thought for a while, wondering if there was a Biliibo in this world!

  "......How formidable, it can actually act directly on the soul!" Saber was shocked by Dis's ability!

  "Don't lose heart! I also know Lila's special move! The so-called King of Knights, the Great Britain King, is a very powerful hero!" Francis said, thinking that he probably wouldn't be able to watch anime in this life.

  "Does Young Master know me so well?" Saber's face turned red as she suddenly asked this!

  "Hmm! I've always liked it, so I guess I understand it a bit!" Francis was still lost in thought, reminiscing about the Saber from his previous anime experiences. If he turned around, he would have found Saber's face completely red at that moment!

  "Hmm! Someone's up ahead!" Francis suddenly stopped. "Who could it be?" Francis' spiritual power was quite high, and under Dis's guidance, he had a bit of rough spiritual probing skills.

  "Lia, what's wrong with you? There's someone up ahead!" Francis looked at Saber, who was spaced out. "What happened? Did that wolf hurt you earlier?"

  Listening to Francis' concerned tone, "No... not that! I just wanted a little less... no, I... didn't think anything!" Saber's face turned red as she stood there at a loss, her bangs swaying back and forth.

  "......I see! Let's take a look at who it is first!" Francis was a bit puzzled, Lila had a rather stubborn personality, but during battles, she should be quite reliable!

  "I... got it!" He took a deep breath to calm himself down, and sensed with his magic that "it's those three 8th-rankers and several students, they're riding wind wolves and rushing over here!"

  "Hmm! What are they doing here? Are they looking for death? Never mind them, let's just speed past!" Francis thought for a moment and made the decision. The first time they met, something like this happened, it's better to just ignore them!

  "Yes, sir!" Saber replied in a low voice, casting a sideways glance at Francis with his eyes.

  "Miss Corris, look at the sky! That's Stormwind Eagle! The summoner is flying back, what's going on!" Big Beard looked up at the Stormwind Eagle in surprise at the summoner's behavior.

  "Is... the battle over there already finished?! Did those three black-robed men win? Or did the assassin win? Let's hurry over! Don't mind that Saint-tier summoner!" Corris thought for a moment, then said.

  "Miss, someone is coming from the front! Very fast, it's..." The dark-faced swordsman hadn't finished speaking when two figures shrouded in black cloaks appeared before everyone.

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Two sonic booms, two people directly stepped on the big tree from above their heads and swept past "It's those two people just now!" Francis always wore a hat, they couldn't see it, but Saber's face was recognized by them! "What about Miss Colleen?!"

  "Hmm! Chase back! Fast!" Corris gritted her teeth. What happened after all? Did the three of them win, so they were chasing and killing that Holy-tier summoner? And what about that blue-haired guy?! Could it be... That blue-haired man was killed by the Sword God, and then the black-robed man arrived and killed the Sword God...

  "Master, the enemy is in the sky! We can't keep chasing like this!" Saber stopped "This is a dark forest, even if it's just the outskirts, it's very dangerous!"

  "What's gotten into Lila?!" Francis gazed seriously at Saber, who looked slightly flushed.

  "My... sword is wrapped in a layer of boundary, releasing it... the strong wind produced should be able to attack from that far distance!" Saber turned her head, avoiding Francis's gaze.

  "Oh! Is that the Wind King's Barrier and the Wind King's Mallet? That's amazing! I never thought I'd get to see the real thing!" Francis exclaimed, grabbing Saber's shoulder in excitement!

  "...Saber's face immediately turned red when he was caught by Francis, and the stupid hair on his head stood up straight! He pushed Francis away "Young master, go and watch from the side! I'm going to catch it now, or that eagle will fly far away!"

  "Alright, alright!" Francis estimated that this move would be very powerful, so he immediately dodged to the side! He thought about the introduction of the Wind King's Boundary and the Wind King's Hammer in the original work. Wind King's Boundary: The compressed wind wrapped around the sword forms a boundary, changing the angle of refraction of light, making the sword appear transparent. In close combat, it can interfere with the enemy's judgment, making it impossible for the enemy to accurately judge the length of the weapon, and it can have a very obvious effect in melee combat! Although the wind wrapped around the sword blade is not yet strong enough to reach a vacuum state, the wind wrapped around the knife blade can amplify its effect, allowing ordinary slashes to possess enormous destructive power!

  Saber grasped her sword with both hands and slowly released the seal using magic, and the invisible sword responded to her will by spewing out a large amount of wind.

  Uh————! The wind force slowly increased, and soon the surroundings were all raging strong winds. The strong winds blew through the forest with a rustling sound. Francis also retreated a few steps back, after all, the air pressure released by Saber at this time was not comparable to ordinary ones, it was a violent storm that could easily blow him away!

  The saber, feeling almost ready, slowly raised its sword and stared intently at the giant eagle in the sky! "Wind King's Hammer!" In the center of the rotating air, a wind pillar emerged like a physical entity, resembling a fierce dragon roar, bursting out with a loud noise. The surrounding trees were directly swept up, the soil was blown off the ground, scattered and fell apart. The wind pillar carried an unstoppable momentum, rushing straight into the clouds!

  The Storm Giant Eagle also felt the terrifying power behind it, flapping its wings non-stop to fly faster, but the wind pillar's speed was too fast, almost instantly hitting the Storm Giant Eagle heavily. The Storm Giant Eagle didn't even have time to let out a mournful cry before being dispersed by the wind pillar!

  The whirlwind smashed the giant eagle and continued to charge into the sky! "What a magnificent sight, I finally understand why this move is called the Wind King's Hammer. That guy was clearly killed by the impact!" Francis watched the scene in front of him, his mouth agape with surprise! At this time, the hat on his head had been blown off by the wind, revealing that face which was even more refined than Saber's!
