A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

With each strike of the ground, the strength in his arms would increase.

Bray could naturally sense the changes in the "beast's" power from the sword, but it didn't matter.

The idea that brute force can overcome skill is valid, but if all brute force could break Bray's swordsmanship, then Bray wouldn't have survived so many battles to this day.

At least this level of power wasn't enough to give Bray a headache.

“Your arm is about to break,” Bray said calmly, staring at the “beast,” regardless of whether the creature understood him or not.

The dragon's roar, which could not be fully heard, rose up continuously, intertwining together like the sound of an engine starting.

"Hiss—" The "Beast" merely responded with its breath.

However, the instant His breath fell, a complete and long dragon roar resounded.

The build-up is over.

It was as if a dragon was venting its anger that it couldn't fully unleash before; this dragon's roar was full of power and fury.

"Severing Steel Sword Technique".

It has no specific moves, but rather a philosophy, a way of using the sword, yet it has formed its own school and has been recognized by later generations as such.

This is the "Severing Steel Sword Technique".

This "hardness" does not refer to steel, but rather to all hard materials.

For example, the arm of the desolate god in front of Bray.

Even the hardest things in this world can be cut through, regardless of the weapon used; all you need to do is understand the "breathing" of that thing.

The internal energy surged, and the flowing trajectory of the sword blade resembled ink spilled onto a canvas.

"Thump." The beast's thick arm snapped off and fell to the ground.

The phrase "bleeding profusely" is not an exaggeration to describe the injury to the "beast's" left arm.

The white mist from his breath began to become unstable, and he could no longer even produce a coherent exhalation sound.

"Beast" stared blankly at its severed hand, then clenched its right fist and slammed it into the ground where Bray was standing.

"Boom!" A punch sent up a thousand layers of mud, and the ground cracked instantly.

Cracks covered the entire area of ​​the old house, and within a second, there was practically no intact area left on the ground.

Now, the only safe place left is probably the basement.

Despite the powerful punch, Bray's not-so-tall figure remained clearly visible.

Bray stepped on the "beast's" shoulder and slashed his sword at the beast's neck.

"Hiss!!!" Accompanied by a thunderous breathing sound, the muscles in his neck tensed up instantly.

When Bray's sword landed on it, it couldn't advance even an inch.

However, since a single burst of power is not enough, the solution is to rely on continuous advance to finish off the opponent.

“…” Bray opened his left eye, which he hadn’t used before.

There was almost no magic left in his left eye, and Bray hadn't originally planned to use it.

You should know that once you run out of supplies, you'll need to find someone to restore them.

Whether it's Nicol Bolas or "Spring Wolf," it's all very troublesome.

However, the deity in front of him was too tough. With only a little internal energy, it was completely insufficient to drive the dragon pattern to cut off the opponent's neck.

He still needs a little bit of magic.

At the same time, "Beast" grabbed Bray's sword, trying to throw Bray away.

"Roar!!!!" But before it could throw away the sword and its rider, the "Beast's" fingers were cleanly severed with a dragon's roar.

Bray's body spun halfway through the air before landing, simultaneously assuming a sword-drawing stance.

No opportunity to adjust oneself was wasted.

"Hiss—" The beast's breathing became heavy.

His movements were as heavy as his breathing.

"BOOM!!!" The rubble lying quietly on the ground was swept away by its tail.

Stones of varying sizes were swept towards the mine.

But Bray didn't move; instead, he went to split open the most threatening rocks.

After a few sword strikes, all the stones that could actually hurt him scattered.

"It's really hard." Bray frowned, feeling a numbness in his hand.

The rocks that were swept over were clearly abnormal; they were too hard.

"Immortality" can not only affect itself, but also other things.

Unfortunately, "Indestructibility" was strongly suppressed in front of the longsword, and its power was reduced to less than one-tenth.

"Hiss!!!!!!!!!!" The sound of the steam billowing out was like the sound of a snake flicking its tongue.

If He were in normal circumstances, even thunder from the sky could not harm Him, even if mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, He would remain unharmed, and even if He were thrown into purgatory to be burned, it would not matter.

However, within a single day—no, within a single hour—He was wounded repeatedly by a man with a sword.

Is this person's sword truly more terrifying than the power of nature? Of course not.

Is this person so powerful that they can create extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth? Of course not.

But this human wielding the sword did indeed cut off His entire arm.

His thoughts were in complete disarray, to the point that he was unable to think clearly, but even so, doubts arose within him.

"Bang!!!" He lifted up a section of the wall, granting it the attribute of "immortality".

His wounds are still healing, but it will take some time.

Keep in mind that the higher the defense, the harder it is to recover.

The "savage beast" needs something to temporarily defend itself.

Unfortunately, He Himself could not even withstand Bray's sword, let alone this hastily erected wall.

The "indestructible" wall, more reliable than any city wall in the world, was sliced ​​open by a broad, black sword.

It was as easy as a sharp blade cutting through a piece of white paper.

Of course, He couldn't possibly remain unresponsive in the face of this sword strike.

Almost instantly, the "beast" stretched out its enormous hand, attempting to grab Bray.

If He can catch Bray, Bray will be torn to pieces like a paper doll.

The premise is that He can catch Bray.

A simple attack trajectory appears flawed to Bray, and he can even predict an opponent's attack without being particularly observant.

Bray has never relied on superhuman reaction speed to fight.

Perception and prediction are his key strengths in fighting monsters with attributes that are incomprehensibly high.

After dodging His grab, Bray even anticipated His attacks that followed, and then those attacks.

As long as Bray doesn't let his guard down, the "Beast" probably won't be able to touch him throughout the entire battle.

Of course, if He keeps using area-of-effect attacks, it can indeed damage Bray.

However, aside from slamming the floor, it has no other area-of-effect attacks.

"Hiss—" The veins on the "Beast's" body bulged, and a trace of anger appeared in its turbid eyes.

His clenched teeth, as if trying to break free from some kind of restraint, slowly opened.

The process of opening was difficult, but after a few seconds, sounds other than hissing could be heard from His mouth.

For example, a low growl.

“Roar—” He let out a low growl, and hot steam billowed from his mouth and nose.

He realized that he could not catch Bray or even hit him, so he chose other methods of attack.

That's right, it's the only area-of-effect attack method He possesses.

"Boom!!!! Boom!!!" The "Beast" kept pounding the ground, as if it wanted to smash the very backbone of the earth to pieces.

His fists pounded downwards like pile drivers.

He created an earthquake that could be felt even by people as far away as Clinton.

The violently shaking ground made it difficult for Bray to stand, and he couldn't help but slightly bend his knees.

"..." Bray jumped up and left the spot that was about to crack.

However, hiding like this is not a long-term solution. Eventually, the "beast" will crash down and there will be nowhere left for people to stand.

After the ground is completely destroyed, Bray will die, but the "Beast" will not die.

Simply because Bray can't fly.

It's like someone holding a bomb and preparing to self-destruct, but they won't get blown up themselves; it's just cheating.

"Roar!!!!!" The roar of the "beast" was drowned out by the sound of the earthquake. The surrounding trees had long since fallen, and the terrain had undergone tremendous changes.

I wonder what will happen to Qasim, who went to the basement.

This turn of events was probably something Qasim never expected.

"..." Bray was concerned not only about himself, but also about Diman and Angelia who were not far away.

This is very dangerous.

With the ground shaking like this, he couldn't even swing his sword normally.

Bray frowned, sheathed his longsword, took out a box of cigarette candy from his pouch, and smacked his lips.

"Go!!!!!" Bray threw the box of cigarettes and candy at "Beast" with all his might.

It's time to soak up some good fortune.

This box of candy is inconspicuous and poses no threat whatsoever.

However, when the "beast" saw the box, it stopped attacking and used its arms to shield its chest.

He was overly sensitive to every move Bray made.

Because he was so badly wounded by Bray, he subconsciously believed that he had to defend himself whenever Bray made a move, otherwise he would get hurt.

He wasn't wrong to think that way, but there was clearly no need to be so cautious about this box.

"Smack." The box bumped into him and then fell to the ground limply.

"..." He was stunned.

Since the "beast" stopped pounding the floor, the earthquake ceased.

In that instant, even the air seemed to quiet down.

Quiet people include Bray.

Bray lowered his head, his broadsword resting on the ground, his right hand on the hilt of the longsword that had been put away beforehand.

A sword-drawing technique? Of course not, that posture is simply because the sword happened to be sheathed.

The sword was drawn, but not to slash at the enemy, nor forward; instead, it was slashed diagonally towards the ground.

The blade drew an arc, and the ground was also drawn in an arc.

However, this is only the first arc.

On the ground, the second and third arcs were drawn from various angles, each one further ahead than the last.

There are nine marks on the ground, as if a nine-clawed golden dragon left its mark on the ground.

The heavens have nine fields.

What is the Nine Fields?

The center is called Juntian, the east is called Cangtian, the northeast is called Biantian, the north is called Xuantian, the northwest is called Youtian, the west is called Haotian, the southwest is called Zhutian, the south is called Yantian, and the southeast is called Yangtian.

Today, the earth is considered the sky.
