Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
The two swords flew through the void of space like two streaks of lightning.
"Hah!"
Reneedol shouted and leapt into the sky to receive the two sword phantoms.
Her hands turned into two blurred images as she unleashed a series of crescent-white sword phantoms from thin air.
Kih! Kih!
The two flying swords were stopped.
Reneedol immediately activated her Fate power.
In the blink of an eye, a certain giant featureless face silently manifested behind her.
In that split second, the two flying swords drew beautiful arcs, went around her, and headed straight for Shroud.
"You — — -"
Reneedol was both shocked and furious.
If Red Wraith's target was her, she wouldn't have panicked so much.
She would have simply used her strongest Fate power to kill him.
But Red Wraith's target was Shroud.
Red Wraith didn't intend to stop her attack at all and focused all of his flying swords to kill Shroud.
And now, the decision was in Reneedol's hands.
— — she had no choice but to make a choice.
Red Wraith had completely given up on resisting, so she could use her terrifying Fate power to kill Red Wraith.
Or.
Turn around and save Shroud.
She could only choose one of the two choices.
Reneedol turned to Red Wraith, only to see that he was holding a sword seal with both hands, the white mask on his face was completely emotionless.
— — -those two swords were truly fast.
It would only take a split second for Shroud to die!
At this point, the other young people wanted to help.
But another sword abruptly appeared and flew between the three of them, forcing them to hurriedly defend themselves.
Meanwhile, Reneedol was able to sense through her inner sight that Rhode, who had the Law of Death, was still hunting several hundred miles away.
Rhode wouldn't be able to make it back in time.
— — -there's no other choice, I can only rely on myself right now.
Reneedol bit her lip.
Shroud is the strongest person in the future, my hope, and I definitely won't allow anyone to kill him.
As for this Red Wraith, he's only the 7th best swordsman.
How could his life compare to Shroud's?
Reneedol made her choice.
The faceless face behind her disappeared.
Her figure flashed as she used [Ground Shrink] to catch up to the two flying swords and casually slashed out two sword qi.
Dang! Dang!
Two dull clashing sounds rang out, and the two swords bounced up slightly.
The next moment —
The twin swords abruptly turned into countless afterimages, unleashing several hundred strikes towards Shroud's location.
Reneedol waved her hands again and again, releasing hundreds of sword projections to block the two swords.
However, this was only the beginning.
The two swords continued to dance at an extremely fast speed, forming an impenetrable sword screen out of thin air.
Reneedol also unleashed a sword screen.
The same move, one to kill, the other to save.
Boom!
The sword screen clashed.
The two swords fell again, and the attacks became more rapid and faster.
It was so fast that it could not be seen!
Reneedol had to be fully focused to ensure that no sword phantoms would fall on Shroud's body.
"Red Wraith, I'll kill you sooner or later!"
Reneedol shouted angrily while blocking.
She had lost the chance to use the Fate ability.
As long as she stopped, the other party would immediately kill Shroud without any regard for his own life.
She could only use her swordsmanship to stop him!
Unfortunately, the scales of victory were slowly tilting.
— — although Reneedol had grasped all of Red Wraith's swordsmanship techniques, the time was too short, and she didn't like swordsmanship in the first place, so how could she immediately use them to their fullest potential just like Red Wraith?
Saving someone is much harder than killing someone.
She didn't have Red Wraith's experience, so if she wanted to save someone from Red Wraith's swordsmanship in a hurry, she would naturally be a step behind.
At a certain point, a sword phantom flew past her and headed straight for Shroud.
Oh no!
Reneedol's heart sank and hurriedly used her inner sight to check.
Only to see that Shroud had yet to fully recover from his wounds and was currently lying on the ground, unable to stop the attack.
The sword phantom was heading straight for him.
— — -there's no time to save him!
Shroud is going to die. He's going to die under Red Wraith's sword!
Reneedol's pupils dilated.
She didn't have time to think, didn't have time to think about anything else, so she pressed her hand into the void of space.
Invisible power gathered in her hand and scattered into the void of space.
"Someone help me save someone!" she shouted.
Boom!
Dust and dirt rose from the ground. A gigantic figure abruptly appeared and enveloped Shroud.
The sword light slashed at the figure, but it disappeared without a sound.
The dust and dirt scattered.
A gigantic ancient tree appeared in front of everyone.
A wrinkled face was growing on its trunk, currently observing Reneedol:
[I am the Overlord of Growth, summoned by the Lord of Radiance's contractor]
All Overlords desired to obtain power from the Lord of Radiance.
Reneedol felt dejected for a split second, but quickly regained her composure.
Losing the abilities of a swordsman isn't a big deal.
Now that I have Shroud's abilities, I can summon Law Behemoths and unleash powerful killing blows.
This is the only way to fight against Red Wraith!
Reneedol loudly said: "Please take care of the wounded person, leave the rest to me"
「 Got it 」 the ancient tree replied.
It extended its branches to wrap around Shroud and placed him in its bosom.
Reneedol sighed in relief.
Shroud is safe.
It's time for Red Wraith to die!
Reneedol's eyes were bloodshot as she abruptly looked up at the sky.
There was nothing in the sky.
Red Wraith, who was unleashing a torrent of attacks just a second ago to kill Shroud, had already disappeared without a trace.
"… It's [Ground Shrink]"
Reneedol muttered, then released her inner sight to search for his whereabouts.
But there was no inner sight.
She froze for a second before realizing what was going on.
I've absorbed all of Shroud's power.
And now, I can no longer unleash Red Wraith's abilities.
"Hmph, do you think you can escape?"
Reneedol clasped her hands together and chanted: "Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, all Overlords who are close to Radiance, I hope to receive your help in searching for the one who fought against me just now"
Around her, balls of colorful radiance appeared one after another.
These clusters of light shined upon one another, converged, and seemed to be communicating with each other before finally disappearing.
A voice resounded from the void of space:
「 Covenant bearer of the Overlord of Radiance, the one you are looking for is dead 」
Reneedol froze.
Dead?
They were still fighting just now, how did — — -
The voice continued, "His corpse is seven hundred miles to the south, behind a rock."
"I'll go take a look!"
Reneedol immediately said.
Her figure leapt into the sky and quickly flew towards the South.
Not too long later.
She landed on the side of a rock.
— — -sure enough, there was a corpse on the ground, as well as a shattered mask.
Reneedol stared at the corpse for a long time, carefully examining it.
Although this person wasn't wearing a mask, the outline of his body was clearly Red Wraith!
But his face …
I remember him.
This was one of Wizard Rodri's subordinates.
Before, when the Laws no longer responded to living beings, I asked Rodri to send people to kill Shroud and the others.
This person was one of the people he sent!
Reneedol stood still for a while.
"[Mystery of All Beings Equal]?"
She silently thought.
Red Wraith wasn't dead, he had only used that Mystery to disguise himself as this person.
If that's the case, I don't even know what Red Wraith looks like.
Reneedol's thoughts turned and found even more suspicious points.
Strange …
The Overlords said that this was Red Wraith.
But I've already obtained his ability, so I know very well that this is only a Mystery of turning into someone else.
Red Wraith's Mystery is something that even the Overlords can't distinguish?
In other words, the 7th strongest swordsman in the world was able to deceive the Overlords?
That can't be right.
The 7th strongest swordsman … shouldn't have such a powerful ability!
If the Overlords weren't mistaken, then this person was Red Wraith!
He must have been planning something by disguising himself as Wizard Rodri's subordinate, but my appearance disrupted his plans.
That's why Red Wraith wanted to make things difficult for me?
Then who killed Red Wraith?
Reneedol suddenly sensed something and turned to look at the boulder.
Only to see a few words carved into the boulder:
[The one who killed Red Wraith was the strongest swordsman in the world, Mara Heavenly King]
A faint sword qi seeped out from the crack in the boulder, as if reminding her to pay attention.
Reneedol looked at the corpse, then at the words carved on the boulder.
"This … what exactly is …"
Reneedol muttered, feeling like her head was about to explode.
