"Bang!"
In the depths of the wilderness outside Central City, a magical storm suddenly swept up, setting off bursts of air currents.
Gray was shaken by the oncoming magical storm and was forced to retreat on the spot. He flew backward for hundreds of meters before he could react.
He was not a nobody.
As a Level 99, and his strength might even be above Alidia's, Gray mobilized his magical power almost instantly, causing it to vibrate around his body and shake off all the force acting on his body.
Then, without saying a word, Gray crushed the ground under his feet and dashed toward Shien.
His speed was as fast as a bolt of lightning, disappearing in a flash.
It sounded complicated, but in fact, from the moment Shien pushed Gray back to when Gray once again dashed behind Shien, the entire process did not even take a second.
In less than a second, Gray attacked again. He stretched out his hand and clasped Shien 'shoulder.
However, Shien naturally could not be touched by this guy again.
He abruptly turned around and mercilessly kicked out at Gray's outstretched palm.
That kick caused a strong wind to whistle, telling Gray how heavy Shien's attack was.
Gray's expression changed imperceptibly, but he did not want to be outdone. He changed his grip into a slap, and ruthlessly slapped the sole of Shien's foot.
"Bang!"
Amidst the loud collision, the palm and the sole of the foot heavily collided, causing a shockwave to explode.
Shien and Gray retreated at the same time in the impact.
However, Shien only took one step back, while Gray took four steps back.
The difference in strength was obvious.
Shien glanced at Gray, who was in a slightly sorry state, and said sarcastically.
"You're determined to humiliate yourself, aren't you? His Royal Highness the former prince? "
Shien's sarcasm made Gray's expression very ugly.
He knew that if he fought with Shien, he would most likely not be able to gain an advantage.
Although Gray had not seen Shien use his full strength, nor did he see him slay the four Apostles and an Apostle of the [Primordial Demon], and even block a half-demon, Gray was present when Shien and Kamina's aura collided when they arrived at the Supreme Castle.
Therefore, Gray knew that Shien was very strong, and much stronger than he had expected.
But in Gray's opinion, Shien was still on the same level as him, and the reason why he could confront Kamina was probably because of the Holy Sword.
As a member of the royal family of the Mithra Kingdom, Gray had also seen the Holy Sword left behind by his ancestors, and had even tried to inherit it and obtain its recognition.
Unfortunately, he failed, and did not obtain the Holy Sword's recognition.
However, Gray had seen the power of the holy sword and knew how powerful it was. He also knew how much his strength would increase if he could use it.
If he also had the Holy Sword, he would also have the confidence to fight the demons.
After all, Shien was too young, and it was already a miracle that he could reach the Legendary-realm at this age, but it was impossible for him to surpass Gray.
Among the heroes of the past, there was no lack of geniuses who became Legendary-realm powerhouses at the age of 20, but none of them could reach the Limit realm at this age.
Even Mithra only became an Limit realm powerhouse at the age of 30, and with the help of the enlightenment in the Inner Sanctum, he transcended in one fell swoop.
Therefore, in Gray's opinion, Shien was most likely on par with him, and might even be weaker than him. Even if he was stronger than him, it would not be by much. Coupled with the power of the Holy Sword, he was able to resist the suppression of the demons' aura.
If he used the Holy Sword, then even if Gray used his unique skills, he might not be a match for him.
The problem was that Shien did not even draw the Holy Sword, and he was already at a disadvantage.
To Gray, this was not a comfortable thing to do.
When he invited Shien out, it was not that he did not expect to fight with Shien.
He had also thought of some countermeasures, and based on his understanding of the Holy Sword, he formulated some methods to restrict the Holy Sword.
In his opinion, as long as he could seal Shien's Holy Sword, it was not impossible for him to compete with Shien with his own strength, and even win.
Who would have thought that Shien would be able to force him to retreat without even drawing the Holy Sword?
Coupled with the fact that Shien did not hide the sarcasm in his words, which were sharp and vicious, Gray's head heated up in an instant, and all the mana in his body burst out.
"Buzz!"
As the atmosphere trembled, Gray gathered all the burning mana in his body, and with a wave of his hand, the dark red light of mana surged and converged into a dark red Magic Sword.
Seeing this scene, Shien raised his brows.
"Demon Sword?"
Yes.
That was the trump card of the close-combat system — Demon Sword.
However, Gray did not use his weapon to cast the [Magic Sword] skill. Instead, he used his own mana to condense a [Magic Sword] sword that was completely formed by mana.
Shien could tell at a glance that this was a skill that could only be completed by raising the control of mana to the extreme and going through many years of hard training and adjustment.
In Gray's skill column, the skill named Magic Control was at the maximum level, which also proved this point.
"Draw the sword."
Gray raised the Demon Sword and pointed it at Shien with an indifferent expression.
The Demon Sword that was completely condensed from Mana was extremely red and solid. It looked like a ray of red light, but in reality, the power contained within it was terrifying. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it could split mountains and split seas.
After all, Gray's Demon Sword skill was also at the maximum level. Even the two weapon skills, [One-handed Sword] and [Two-handed Sword], were at the maximum level. In addition, there were also a few skills at the maximum level and a few skills at the eighth and ninth level. All of them combined to form an extremely gorgeous skill column.
From this, Shien could see that the former prince of the Mithra Kingdom was indeed not an ordinary person. It was no wonder that he could counterattack as a collateral descendant and become the legitimate prince recognized by the royal family.
However …
"I don't need to draw the sword to deal with you."
Shien shook his head. Although he did not show any contempt or contempt, the meaning of his words was that he did not regard Gray as an opponent at all.
Gray did not speak anymore.
However, the demonic sword in his hand was ruthlessly chopped down while his expression remained indifferent.
This slash changed the color of heaven and earth.
"Boom!"
After the Demon Sword in Gray's hand slashed down, it suddenly expanded and turned into a huge sword of mana. It smashed onto the ground and exploded it, causing countless gravel and strong winds to sweep up like a sandstorm.
With just this strike, a huge ravine appeared on the ground. It could be said to be terrifying.
However, Shien disappeared the moment the Demon Sword fell and suddenly appeared behind Gray.
"…!"
Gray felt something in his heart. He suddenly turned around and slashed the Demon Sword in his hand again without hesitation. With a terrifying power, he blasted it toward Shien.
Shien's expression did not change. Instead, he softly chanted an incantation.
"[Give and Disperse]."
Invisible ripples spread out, causing the suddenly soaring Demon Sword to dissipate at an alarming speed. When it neared the top of Shien's head, there was only a gust of wind left, only able to mess up Shien's fringe.
"Bang!"
At this moment, Shien fiercely blasted out a kick that landed on Gray's chest and sent him flying.
"Gulp!"
Gray only felt a sharp pain in his chest, causing him to groan. His entire body smashed onto the ground and rolled for a long distance before stopping.
"Swoosh!"
At this moment, a strong wind came from Gray's side again.
Shien was unforgiving. He actually appeared beside Gray in an instant and kicked out.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound was heard again, causing the strong wind to spread along with it.
But this time, Gray blocked it.
At this critical moment, he actually stretched out a hand, gathered magic, and forcibly condensed a shield made of magic.
This was simply the shield version of the Demon Sword.
The Demon Sword could actually be used like this?
Even Shien felt surprised.
He didn't know that this was Gray's specialty.
After losing the right to inherit the Holy Sword, Gray felt that no weapon could compare to the legendary strongest divine weapon. Thus, he became uninterested in any weapon.
At that time, he was high-spirited and arrogant. After seeing the power of the Holy Sword, he looked down on the highest level magic weapons forged by the dwarven magic weapon masters or the most outstanding blacksmiths in the kingdom.
Thus, he suddenly had an idea. With the [Magic Sword] skill as the core and the [Magic Control] skill as the support, he honed a skill that could gather magic into any weapon.
This technique not only required the hard conditions of the high-level Demon Sword skill and the high-level Magic Manipulation skill, but also required a special manipulation method. It could be considered a special self-created skill.
Because of this, when he was still in the human world, Gray even made a name for himself as the "Prince of Thousand Blades." He was prominent among the humans and was a well-known prodigy at that time.
It was only when Gray met Chafine that he fell into depravity, abandoned his kingdom, and resolutely entered the Demon Realm to seek refuge with the Demons that he was seen as a disgrace by the royal family. The former king even banned the people of the kingdom from mentioning this prince. Now, after more than 20 years, all the legends of this prince became unknown and forgotten by the world.
He was indeed a genius. Although he was still a step away from the Limit Grade, he was not inferior to the Limit Grade in many aspects.
"Boom!"
At that moment, the magic on Gray's body suddenly burned, directly turning into dark red magic swords around him, causing the air to tremble.
"Don't look down on me!"
At that moment, Gray felt like he had returned to the time when he dominated the world. The gloomy aura in his heart turned into a domineering aura, causing him to grab Shien's foot that was on the Magic Shield. At the same time, he struck down the magic swords around him, causing them to fall like cannonballs.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" …
Instantly, the magic swords fell one after another, smashing into the ground and incessantly causing rumbling sounds.
The ground was ravaged, continuously shattering and collapsing.
It was as if doomsday had arrived.
