Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

Page 168

Asagi made a final appeal to the only person she could think of, but at this moment -

Her consciousness was interrupted by this.

The darkness that could completely wipe out all five senses finally swallowed up Lan Yu Asagi's consciousness at this moment, causing her to truly sink into the boundless darkness.

Afterwards, it was as if no one had ever appeared, and as if no foreign object had ever appeared.

The darkness that existed here fell into the same silence as it had for so long in the past.

outside world.

On the ice field at the top of the Cornerstone Gate.

"...It seems he didn't make it in time."

Jiada, who had bruises all over her body and several bloody holes on her chest, suddenly said this.

Opposite her, Edwards, who was unharmed, frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

"The purpose of that young dragon~~~"

Licking the blood on her body, Jiada smiled and said, "I know what he wants to do. He saw me release the brother and sister from [Kovatliqui] before, so he thought that the witch of Cain that he had been thinking about was also in there."

"Yes, yes, she is there. But the interior of [Kovatliqui] is infinitely dark, a pure alien world. Even if he wants to return here through that kind of ultra-long-distance space movement after finding that girl, he can't do it. I am the only one who can freely enter and exit that alien world."

"He can't get out, and the witch of Cain will be forever trapped in that darkness... Perhaps that would be happier for her - well, let's stop here. This is the first time I've met someone with sword skills as superior as yours. You look only about 30 years old, but your sword skills are stronger than those of great swordsmen who have lived for hundreds of years."

"I'm afraid there is no one on this planet who can compete with you in swordsmanship? Where did a strong man like you live in seclusion before?"

Jiada said as she waved her hands.

The endless black clouds floating above the ice field suddenly brought down a thunderstorm like rain!

Edwards did not make any dodging gesture, but simply swung his swords, drawing crisscross trajectories in the air.

“Zheng——————————!”

The magic power of the sword that burst out along the trajectory, or perhaps it was the fate of the sword, shattered all the lightning in an instant!

Then——

"It looks like he needs a little help from me."

Amid the lightning debris floating in the sky, Edwards sighed softly: "He is such a worrying student, but... this also means that he still has a lot of room for growth in the future. In this case, as his teacher, I should provide him with all the help I can before that."

"......"

Staring at Edwards who was talking to himself, Jada felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in her heart - she could feel that something was coming, and it was something that could pose a strong threat to her.

The next moment, Edwards stared at Jada and opened his lips:

"【Violent Conquest】"

"【Release the child you caught】"

49. [Conquer by violence]

Edwards's ability is the [Contract] of the [Causal Interference System].

Compared with other superpowers, this is not really an easy-to-use superpower. After all, if you want to bring out its best effect, it requires the consent of both parties no matter what. Edwards' only sword-cutting skill [Flawless Oath] also requires the consent of the other party before it can be used.

However, this does not mean that this ability is the only one that can be used.

After all, there are two types of [contracts]. One is an equal contract signed after both parties agree, and the other... is naturally an [unequal contract] in which Edwards makes a unilateral decision without regard to the other party's personal wishes.

"Well......."

The moment Edwards finished speaking, Jada suddenly felt that she had lost control of her body. The body that should have been completely under her control suddenly moved on its own, releasing a dark vortex under her feet that was so vast that it could cover the entire ice field!

This is her beast! [Kovatliqui]!

(This feeling is... my body actually wants to release those two guys from the beast?!)

"--interesting!"

Instantly breaking free from the force controlling her body, Jiada couldn't suppress her inner joy: "Word Spirit Technique? Or some other kind of magic? It can actually interfere with my mind! What a powerful swordsman! I didn't expect you to have this kind of power!"

(Is the effect really weak?)

Not surprised that Jada broke free of his grasp, Edelweiss drew up his sword.

——【Conquer by violence】

In Edwards's opinion, this move could not be considered a special skill of sword cutting. As long as the target was cut by her sword, she could ignore any conditions and force the target to act according to her orders.

But unlike the [Flawless Oath] which can be absolutely established, [Violent Conquest] can be resisted, and its binding force depends on the mental state of the person taking the oath.

Some people are afraid of Edelweiss and have weak wills; some people are like the fourth true ancestors, without a self - for these people, Edelweiss's restraint is absolute, and once it takes effect, it is absolutely impossible to resist and break.

However, it is not very effective against those with resilient egos.

For example, Edelweiss didn't think she could use this to restrain Sieg, because Sieg's self-will was extremely strong, especially when he had already determined a fact, even she couldn't distort or rewrite it.

Of course, Edelweiss would not do that. She liked her student very much, especially his willpower that even death could not break.

And now-

"Come out! [Xiuthectory]!"

Having broken free from her restraints, Jiada called out her beasts.

A column of blazing fire reminiscent of a volcanic eruption suddenly poured down from the sky!

"—————————!"

The twin swords cut through space in an instant - literally.

Wherever the sword reached, the space was temporarily cut open, forming a spatial fault that could never be violated! All attacks were isolated outside the fault at this moment!

This is also the result of [violent conquest].

The essence of the ability [Contract] is to force a specific person to swear an oath, a [force] that transcends physical phenomena.

And this [contract object] has never been limited to [human beings].

"【Violent conquest】——【Spatial domination】."

Edwards lowered his swords.

"Although it's only temporary, you won't be able to interfere with my area. Then - [release them]."

The same restraining force fell upon Jiada again!

Before, in the close combat, Edwards had chopped Jiada's body more than once! As long as Edwards wanted, she could order Jiada at least thirty times!

"Ugh! The same trick doesn't work on me!"

Jiada, who got rid of the restraints in an instant, smiled and said, "The effect of the restraints is related to my mental state, right? My mind is not so fragile that it can be affected by a few words from some people. "

(Isn't this effective?)

Edelweiss smiled.

(It doesn’t take long. Just a moment. Just a moment of your awareness leaning towards what I’m saying is enough.)

(I believe you can seize this loophole I created for you, Sieg—and carry out what you want to do.)

"Devouring her! [Solotor]!"

The fourth beast appeared at Jiada's call.

It was a huge skeleton giant! The eye sockets without eyeballs were extremely empty, and the hideous bloody mouth was flowing with strange and dissatisfied liquid. The gaps between the exposed ribs were all filled with dark space that did not reflect any light.

And then, the ribs opened like a door, and the darkness that filled it shot out like a cannonball!

The space in front of it suddenly seemed to have fallen into an abyss, and was endlessly swallowed, hollowed out, and chiseled open by the black shells!

(Since a spatial fault has been created, then dig out the entire space!)

Jiada grinned.

(I see, unlike me who has only one method, you are the same type of person as Sieg, an all-rounder who can handle any situation?)

Edwards calmly raised his swords.

Then——

“Zheng——————————!!!”

A vast ocean of magical power suddenly burst out from her body!

Simply speaking from the total amount of magic power, Edwards doesn't actually have much. Stella and Sieg are both above her. Although Tina and Xijing Ningyin have more magic power than her, it's not much more - of course, this is under normal circumstances.

However, at this moment, if the magic power that burst out from Edwards' body was measured and calculated, it was actually more than Stella's magic power! Calculated numerically, it was almost dozens of times her original magic power!

"【One Sword Shura】, it is indeed a very good move."

Kurogane Ikki's special skill, [One Sword Shura], is based on the principle of using extraordinary concentration to exert all the strength in a short period of time. As long as this skill is mastered, anyone can use [One Sword Shura].

As the world's strongest swordsman, Edwards had already mastered this move in the past two and a half years.

However, unlike Ikki Kurogane's sword-cutting skill that can increase his physical ability to dozens of times the original level, Edwards's [One Sword Shura] can only improve her [supernatural power] in addition to her magic power.

"——————————!"

The shells that could have dug out all the space were blocked halfway.

In the void, a vague outline slowly emerged, slowly outlining a Valkyrie holding a giant pair of swords, more than 30 meters long! It was the giant pair of swords that blocked the shells!

[Demon] is a being that transcends the fate of the planet and can distort the cause and effect of the world with its own will.

Even if it left the planet where it originally lived and came to a completely unfamiliar alien planet, this characteristic would not change - and at this moment, this planet, under Edwards' will, made a [change] that only obeyed her!

As the world's strongest swordsman, Edwards only needs one thing in battle.

That is to [cut everything off].

"——————————!"

Following Edwards' will, the majestic Valkyrie swung her double swords and chopped the shells that could even dig out space into pieces!

This has nothing to do with the restraint relationship of attributes. Even the power that can dig out space cannot escape the [fate] of being shattered under the blade that can even shatter cause and effect! She only needs to think in the air and swing this sword of cause and effect to leave scars on the world!

——[Cut off the causes and eliminate the consequences and slash the stars].

Above [Flawless Oath] and [Violent Conquest], it is Edwards' true trump card.

(Isn’t the name of this move too long?)

While thinking, Edwards looked at Jiada and used [Violent Conquest] on her again.

"【Release the child trapped by your beast】"

The compulsory restraining force instantly dominated the mind of the Third True Ancestor!

But this time, she was unable to break free immediately.

50. I’m here to save you

In the boundless darkness.

Aoi Asagi opened her eyes again.

(Where am I?)

The same doubts as before arose in her mind.
