"Anti-theft!"
At six in the morning, in the center of Shield District in Dragon Clouds City, the moon had already set in the west. The darkest hour of the day was about to arrive.
The hydra, Kilika, seemed to be very excited. The chilling sound of flesh and blood rubbing against each other could not help but make people think of the scene of a millstone grinding pork. It waved its limbs and tentacles in a frenzy, continuously releasing wave after wave of people to surround Nicholas and Gleeward.
The two supreme class elites wielding legendary anti-mystic equipment fought with all their might in the crowd controlled by the Mystic and advanced with all their might.
With great willpower, the two of them endured the cries and screams of the citizens and killed their way through the crowd. With great difficulty, they got closer to the Mystic.
However, the girl with a bright smile only shook her head slightly. A huge tentacle reached out from behind and sent her twenty meters away.
More people controlled by the Mystic walked out of the gap in the tentacle, puzzled. They surrounded the two supreme class humans and involuntarily blocked the space left by the tentacle.
Just a dozen meters away, under an inconspicuous low wall, Thales listened attentively to Black Sword's explanation with shock and astonishment.
"The Power of Eradication originates from the untapped potential in the human body. We use special methods, such as specific martial arts and sword styles, to guide it into usable power."
Black Sword's words seemed to carry a faint sense of authority, causing people to unconsciously perk up their ears to listen. "It can increase a person's ability, quality, or adaptability to certain situations, whether for a short or long period of time."
He stared at Thales sternly and fiercely.
"The forms of existence of the Power of Eradication vary from person to person. There are many types of Power of Eradication. Some will form visible light, some will fuse with organs and tissues, some will even circulate day and night, some will be used on special parts, and some will permeate the entire body.
"Even if it's the same type of Power of Eradication, when used by different people, there are often great differences."
Thales frowned. 'If there are great differences, how can I' teach 'them?'
Black Sword seemed to have heard his thoughts. As the hydra roared from its flesh, he said calmly, "But they still have similarities that can be used as a reference.
"Most of the Powers of Eradication have a specific form and function at the moment of Awakening." Black Sword exhaled. His muscles were trembling, as though he was doing his final warm-up.
"For example, the Glory of the Stars, which greatly increases nerve excitement and human endurance; the Thawing of Glaciers, which continuously increases one's resistance to pressure and senses; the Pegasus' Music, which maximizes one's resonance with the external environment; and the Death of the Sword, which instantly destroys the human body's self-protection mechanism …"
"The people who awakened these Powers of Eradication will naturally form their personal biases and habits based on the specific forms of their Powers of Eradication, as well as how they use their abilities."
When Thales blinked, Black Sword changed the topic.
"But the Sin of Hell's River is different."
Black Sword's expression turned cold.
"It is one of the least recorded Powers of Eradication. Based on my and some of my predecessors' experiences, it comes from the most unbelievable potential of life," Black Sword said slowly.
"Survival."
Thales' heart clenched.
He remembered what had happened in the birch forest: Serena had "strangled" him in midair.
"So, the existence of the Sin of Hell's River is basically to prolong a dying life." Black Sword inhaled slowly and adjusted his breathing. "It is a final struggle at all costs."
He gave the prince a profound look. "This is also the prerequisite for us to awaken the Sin of Hell's River.
"It awakens at the moment of death, activating all the essence of life and exhausting all the possibilities of life.
"Because of this, it is different from most Powers of Eradication. The Sin of Hell's River does not have a specific form.
"In other words, it can exist in any form …
"And exert its effects."
Thales' pupils shrank. "Any form of Powers of Eradication? Any other form of existence of the Powers of Eradication? "
He somewhat understood what Black Sword meant.
"That's right …" Black Sword smiled and nodded. He looked at Kilika, who was in the distance.
"The Sin of Hell's River …"
Black Sword narrowed his eyes and focused on the battle in the distance.
"It can be said to be an omnipotent Power of Eradication."
As the two of them spoke, Nicholas and Gleeward were struggling to hold on.
"We can't go on like this."
With a cold expression, Nicholas chopped off a woman's head with the Severing Souls Blade. Her terrified gaze before she died made the battle-hardened warrior's chest feel heavy. Then, he faced the next old man with a dazed expression.
"With the legendary anti-mystic equipment, we don't have to worry about protecting ourselves …" Nicholas gently swung his slightly sore arm. He glanced at the corpses around them and could not help but frown.
"But in the end, we will be exhausted to death!"
The Star Killer glanced at Gleeward, who had a crazed expression and whose eyes were filled with rage.
'Or, will Gleeward have a mental breakdown after he kills enough people and reaches his limit?'
Gleeward roared and brandished his spear. The spearhead slashed through three people, but his left arm was scratched by a little girl who attacked him from behind.
The civilians of Shield District who were scratched by the spear died under the effect of Slaughter. Gleeward tried his best not to look at their expressions before they died, but his entire body was trembling violently.
"Do you have any way to break through?!" Gleeward gritted his teeth and took a step back. He was very agitated. "Don't tell me that you're actually the Kingdom's Wrath!"
"We can't break through." Nicholas stared at the girl standing in front of the hydra and drew a blade. "But we can make it so that she can't retreat!"
Gleeward's expression changed.
In the next moment, the Star Killer's aura changed!
Two patches of red appeared on Nicholas' pale face. He retracted his arm and no longer attacked and killed the densely packed crowd in front of him.
He stroked the Severing Souls Blade with his finger.
In an instant, with a loud crack, the Severing Souls Blade, which had two curved sections, broke into two halves from the protruding part of the blade's spine!
The Blood Mystic raised her eyebrows as she watched all of this. She instinctively felt that something was wrong, and the blood red stripes on her face shuddered.
The cut on the blade seemed to be very regular. The Star Killer held the broken blade in one hand and the remaining half of the Severing Souls Blade in the other. He revealed a mysterious smile.
"World Break, begin," he said softly.
In the next second, Nicholas moved. The Power of Eradication in his body began to tremble.
He turned his body sideways and squeezed past the three civilians controlled by the Mystic in front of him with unbelievable movements. As they screamed involuntarily, he tapped the ground lightly, stepped on their shoulders, and leaped into the air!
If Aida was here, she would immediately recognize that this was the same movement Nicholas displayed when they first met. It was the kind of footwork that allowed him to weave through the crowd perfectly, yet it was impossible to dodge.
Giza's expression changed slightly. Immediately, a few controlled civilians bent their knees and jumped like monsters, pouncing towards Nicholas in the air.
But at that moment, Gleeward's Soul Slayer Pike drew a circle in the air, which was rarely seen.
* Shick! *
Bearing the injuries on his shoulders and back from the encirclement, Gleeward roared and swept away all the civilians who tried to stop Nicholas, turning them into lifeless corpses.
Nicholas leaped into the air without any obstruction. In that second, he cast a profound glance at Giza in the distance.
Separated by dozens of densely packed people, the Star Killer shook his arm.
The broken blade whistled through the air and went straight for the Mystic's face!
Giza's expression changed drastically.
Amid the piercing sound of the wind, she cautiously extended two tentacles from her body, struck the ground, and pushed herself backwards.
* Thud! *
The blade stabbed into the ground, only a few meters away from the Blood Mystic.
Nicholas' expression did not change. He descended from the air and used the broken blade to block an enemy who was about to ambush him from behind.
Giza narrowed her eyes and stared at the broken blade on the ground. She did not say a word.
However, just a second later, Nicholas swung the blade lightly. His eyes shone brilliantly, and he said coldly, "World Break completed."
The Mystic's expression did not change. He did not even look puzzled.
But at that moment, Nicholas suddenly roared with the greatest emotional fluctuation since the start of the battle, "Charge!"
As if he had received a supreme order, Gleeward opened his mouth and brandished the trembling pike with a ferocious expression. He pierced through the two innocent 'enemies' in front of him and charged forward with tears in his eyes!
“oooh！”
As Gleeward roared, Nicholas did not show any signs of weakness. The half-broken blade in his hand shone with a glint so bright that it was difficult to see with the naked eye. In an instant, he slit the neck of a wailing teenager and charged towards the Mystic.
"There's only one chance! Break through! "
In the Blood Mystic's eyes, the two supreme class Mystic charged forward without caring about the cost, injuries, and defense. The dense crowd of dozens of people was crushed by their charge!
Giza tilted slightly. More people walked out of the tentacles and surrounded the vanguard.
But Nicholas and Gleeward did not stop charging. Both of them were covered in scratches and cuts, but they burst forth with their most ferocious forms and charged at the Mystic!
They were getting closer and closer to the Mystic.
In the end, Giza still closed her eyes. Soon, Kilika extended a giant tentacle from behind her, grabbed her waist, and swept her away.
But an accident happened at that moment.
The Mystic on the tentacles was no more than ten meters away when the Severing Souls Blade stabbed into the ground suddenly shone brightly!
The broken blade shone with the most dazzling yellow light.
The tentacles protecting Giza continued to drag her backward, but a yellow light that was identical to the one on the blade suddenly appeared behind Giza!
Giza's expression changed.
The tentacles were still retreating, but Giza seemed to be held back by an invisible hand from behind. She was forced to a stop in front of a barrier formed by the yellow light.
No matter how hard the tentacles tried, they could not drag Giza out of the area of the yellow light!
It was as if it had been stuck by something.
Giza raised her head abruptly and looked at the broken blade of the Severing Souls Blade on the ground in front of her.
'It's that broken blade!
There's something wrong with it. '
Giza did not have much time to think, because in an instant, the two supreme class elites broke through the dense crowd. Covered in blood, they charged fiercely towards the Mystic, who could not retreat even an inch!
Ten meters … five meters … four meters … three meters … the two of them were getting closer to Giza!
"Attack!" Nicholas roared and elbowed an enemy to his left. Then, he turned around and swung his blade decisively. As blood splattered, he cut down three or four people, protecting Gleeward at all costs.
With tears still on his face and a heart full of anger, Gleeward swung the fatal Soul Slayer Pike and stepped within three meters of the Mystic. Then, he thrust the pike forward!
The yellow light behind the Blood Mystic flashed faster and faster.
It still obstructed her. She could not retreat or dodge.
The tip of the pike approached the spot between Giza's eyes.
* Thud! *
At that critical moment, the body of the Soul Slayer Pike was once again gripped tightly by the veteran 'Big Leather Belt', who suddenly appeared beside Giza.
The pike tip was only an inch away from Giza's face.
But unlike before, this time, the air behind Giza was flashing with a strange light. She could not retreat even an inch!
She could only be stuck between the Soul Slayer Pike and the light.
She could not advance or retreat. It was extremely thrilling.
"Chief Gleeward." Big Leather Belt held the Soul Slayer Pike with a face full of tears. "I'm sorry."
Nicholas' figure flashed again. The broken sword flew, and metal clanked. Within a short period of time, Gleeward was completely protected.
"It's nothing." Gleeward gritted his teeth and glared resentfully at Big Leather Belt, who was forced to stand between the Mystic and the Soul Slayer Pike. "It's just another unlucky battle."
The three of them were in a stalemate.
The crowd surrounding the two seemed to have received some sort of order. They stopped abruptly. As the controlled people howled in fear, they all retreated.
Only then did Nicholas get a chance to catch his breath. He took a step back and leaned his back against Gleeward, who was holding the Soul Slayer Pike against the Mystic.
Giza lowered her head. Her lips moved slightly, and her voice rang in the ears of the two supreme class individuals.
"What is this?" the Mystic asked flatly.
"The ability of the Severing Souls Blade." Nicholas clutched his chest. He glanced at the blade on the ground, then at Big Leather Belt, who was blocking the Soul Slayer Pike. His expression was unpleasant. "With the separated blade as the center, it can temporarily isolate an area that is completely isolated from the outside world.
"Only in, no out." Nicholas exhaled a visible breath of hot air.
Gleeward gritted his teeth. His eyes were full of hatred. "It's enough to trap you here — Bam."
Giza narrowed her eyes. The yellow light behind her was still firmly blocking her path of retreat, but she did not seem to care.
She barely moved her lips as she said, "How rare. It's another equipment I've never seen before."
"Come to think of it, it's funny. This ability has a terrible name." Nicholas' face twitched. In the end, he took a deep breath and said stiffly, "It's called 'You Can't Escape'."
A cold wind blew. The hydra tugged at Giza in vain, but the latter was tightly bound by the yellow light and could not move.
"Hmph." The Blood Mystic snorted coldly. "It sounds like the work of that b * tch, Blood Spike."
