A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

Bai Shanhu had known Ku Ya for a short time, and Ku Ya was the most proud and arrogant of the three.

While the remaining two members of the sea tribe were debating whether to retreat, Bray was also pondering the matter.

Bray gripped his twin swords, but his gaze wasn't on the two sea creatures.

Many might assume that the lightning and thunder in the sky were brought by the sea creatures, but Bray didn't think so.

"These sea creatures don't have the ability to appear with a background."

—"This strange phenomenon..."

Could there be an even more powerful sea race lurking behind them? Or perhaps an even worse enemy, such as the Silver Race?

"No, silver-tier creatures don't appear that easily." Just like the Ancestral Dragon and the Spring Wolf, silver-tier creatures don't appear easily.

Venturing into the world of the Black Iron species can cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, both for the Black Iron and Silver species themselves.

"Bronze race? A powerful bronze race?"

"Or is it really just a normal premonition of a storm?"

"What exactly is it?"

Bray squinted his right eye, as if trying to see through what the dark clouds symbolized.

But the next moment, Bray's gaze fixed on the two sea creatures.

"White Coral, forget it, we really can't go back like this..." Bitter Crow took a deep breath and said.

"If we go back like this, His Majesty will definitely punish us."

"..." White Coral's face darkened, and she did not deny Bitter Crow's words.

Although the sea king would not easily kill his own kind, the two would still be severely punished.

Of the sea creatures they brought out, only two remained in the end.

This is unforgivable for sea creatures who value population.

“But…” White Coral hesitated for a moment, her gaze meeting Bray’s dead fish eyes.

White Coral understands the indecisiveness and inability to make a decision that Bitter Crow is in.

After all, the situation was somewhat unexpected.

White Coral herself wasn't sure whether she should leave like this; the first words from Bitter Crow had already made her waver a little.

Perhaps leaving is a good option.

“This human isn’t a good swimmer. All we need to do is create a giant wave that will submerge the city,” said Bitter Crow.

“But it’s no use, this human can interrupt me.” White Coral shook her head helplessly.

Faced with this sword technique that could break through magic, Bai Shanhu was somewhat helpless.

Of course, this is also due to the "technical crushing" mentioned in the Difficult Classic.

If a mage were more powerful than White Coral, perhaps their spells wouldn't have been broken by Bray.

"It's alright, this guy can't handle two people at the same time." As soon as he finished speaking, Ku Ya raised his hands and unleashed two beams of light.

Before the beam of light even hit the ground, it scattered and transformed into countless light projectiles that hurtled towards the target.

However, these red and black light bullets were easily deflected by Bray's two swords, either bouncing off to the ground or veering back directly.

The attack failed, but White Coral understood what Bitter Crow meant.

Bray is strong, but his swordsmanship is not enough to counter the spells of two people at the same time.

As long as you summon the waves while the crows buy you time, that's enough.

"Severance" and "Ghost Gate Return" are different sword moves, so they cannot be used at the same time.

However, the strategy of using a mine can be switched quickly.

"Drink!!!" The Bitter Crow understood this from the previous battle, so its next attack had to be fierce.

Even if you switch quickly, you can't use them simultaneously.

We need to strike even harder than before, without giving Bray any openings to use the sword technique that could interrupt White Coral.

"boom!!!!!!"

Countless laser beams hurtled towards the mine.

This forced Bray to stop thinking about the strange celestial phenomena.

"Shut up." The Bray Greatsword swept across roughly, blocking all of the Bitter Raven's beam attacks.

The once beautiful beach is now a scene of desolation.

Seawater flowed into the deep trenches in the ground, washing away the rubble that had been blasted up.

"You're at your wit's end!" The crow relentlessly bombarded the ground.

Although it was unable to inflict damage on Bray, the Bitter Crow had achieved its objective.

"Bitter Crow, it's done." White Coral slowly raised her slender arm.

Along with His arms, the giant wave was also lifted up.

With just a wave of White Coral's hand, the giant wave would engulf the entire beach.

No one standing on it will escape unscathed! Once this human with dead fish eyes dies, no one can stop them from venting their anger.

The way to vent their anger, of course, was to flood the entire city with wave after wave of giant waves.

Bray understood what Bitter Raven wanted to do: he simply didn't want him to have the time or energy to deal with White Coral.

Bray, his face grim, half-crouched on the ground after dodging the crows' attack, looking up at the rising waves.

With just a wave of the white coral's hand, the waves would crash down.

Bray doesn't know if he'll drown, but he certainly won't be safe and sound.

Therefore, Bray hates gang fights and prefers one-on-one combat.

"Run!" Bray said in a deep voice to the men behind him, looking expressionlessly at Bitter Raven and White Coral.

“…” Nisha fell silent.

Redip remained silent.

"There's no escaping it," Nisha said helplessly.

Nisha was seriously injured and could barely stand, let alone run.

Redip's legs were too weak to walk.

Dove is probably the only one who can escape this beach.

But would Dove leave on her own? Seeing how tightly she was holding Redup, Nisha knew it was impossible for her to leave.

Bray glanced around and realized that everyone's situation was not optimistic.

"—You idiot Master." The voice of "The Last Echo" echoed faintly.

"You have me and your uncle here, after all."

"Your mindset is no longer the same as it used to be. Have some confidence in yourself."

"Faith..."

Bray's eyes sharpened, and he suddenly ran towards the sea.

Seeing the direction Bray was running, Bitter Crow froze.

What does this human want to do? There's shallow water in front of him, nowhere to put a pillar.

"This is what is known as the battlefield."

“Come again, battlefield of twilight!” Bray murmured, his swords whistling through the air.

A breeze blew by, but it wasn't a sea breeze; it was a gentle breeze carrying the scent of sand.

In a daze, the crow and the white coral saw that the seawater below them had been replaced by yellowish-brown bricks and stones.

The ocean waves are like thick city walls, and the boulders are like towering earthen pillars.

However, this scenery was only briefly mentioned.

But the battlefield, and the sight of corpses strewn across it, weighed heavily on the two sea creatures.

"Distracted!?" Ku Ya shuddered.

Then He discovered something that shocked Him even more.

Despite being bombarded by countless beams of light, Bray's running speed did not slow down in the slightest, and any attack that came close to him was easily deflected.

That alone was not enough to shock the Bitter Crow.

To His astonishment, Bray was walking on the sea.

With each step Bray takes, the sea beneath his feet is replaced by a dilapidated brick floor.

He raced all the way, carving out a road through the sea.

To others, this is the sea—but to Bray at this moment, it is a flat road.

Now, Bray's mental world possesses a greater capacity for interference.

The world as Bray sees it is completely different from the world as seen by outsiders.

Bray now stands on an ancient battlefield strewn with corpses and weapons.

"White Coral! Hurry up!" Bitter Crow roared.

If Brera gets close, the Bitter Crow can just raise its hands in surrender.

While Bray didn't have the luxury of using his sword to interrupt White Coral, why bother interrupting her spell at close range?

All you need to do is kill him!

White Coral also witnessed this horrifying scene and hurriedly waved her arms.

The giant wave moved along with the white coral's arms and crashed onto the beach.

The terrifying sound of the ocean current echoed in everyone's ears.

However, before the white coral could push the waves onto the beach, a sword severed its hand.

"Aaaaaah! My hand!!! My hand, ahaaah!"

"Bitter Crow! How did you cover for me?!" White Coral roared at Bitter Crow.

Why would they let this human suddenly appear in their face?

"..." But the Bitter Crow had no way to answer the White Coral's question.

“You…” White Coral looked at Bray’s calm right eye in horror.

He understood why the crow had stopped talking to him.

The sword that chopped off his hand was a broken sword with a dull blade.

Before that, Ku Ya had already been pierced by a jet-black greatsword.

"Don't look around." Bray gripped the greatsword that had pierced the Bitter Raven in his right hand, turned his body, and pulled it out smoothly.

Blood splattered onto the white coral, stirring its nerves.

As the mine spun in mid-air, the blade of the longsword grew larger and larger in White Coral's vision.

Until the very end, all that remained in White Coral's eyes was a silvery white.

"Drink!" A kick imbued with internal energy swept across Bitter Crow and White Coral.

The two people, who were floating in the air, fell into the sea like shooting stars, splashing water several meters high.

The towering waves, as if losing their supporting force, returned to the sea, swallowing the two sea creatures that had fallen in.

Using the recoil from the previous attack, Bray's figure flew backward in the opposite direction from where the sea creatures had fallen into the sea.

"Thump—" Bray finally landed near the shallows, his clothes soaked with water.

Bray simply took off his jacket and threw it aside.

Soaked clothes can actually hinder movement, so it's better to take them off.
