Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 424: Sea

A clear Hyo's cry came from the sea, and the figure flashed across the sky, casting a flash of shadow on a straw hat. The hat moved and Belmond raised his head. His eyes were dazzled by the overly bright sunlight. A gust of sea breeze blew by, and he hurriedly pressed his straw hat tightly so as not to be blown away by the wind. After changing into a long black robe, wearing a loose striped jacket and shorts, Belmond did not look like an assassin at all. Instead, he looked like an ordinary man enjoying a sea trip. josei

He was sitting on the deck of the Paradise, with a fishing rod in front of him, fishing boredom. In a nearby bucket, there was only half a bucket of clear seawater, but not even half a fish.

A figure appeared behind him, but Qila walked over. She leaned her hands against the railing, closed her eyes and enjoyed the breeze. "Ten years ago, I boarded a sailboat that left home just like I do now. I didn't expect that so many years would pass in the blink of an eye."

Belmond smiled and said, "Did some bastard kidnap him from his house?"

'"No, it's my father. He took me away to Granier. We agreed to open a store in the city called the Empire's Pillar Stone and take my mother back when life settles down." "Yes, it's my father. He took me home to Granier. We agreed to open a store in the city called the Empire's Pillar Stone."

"Really? Then how did you become an adventurer?" Belmond asked casually.

'"Because before we could reach Granier, we encountered pirates. Many people were killed on that merchant ship. Dad and I escaped with all our might. In the end, we met the Imperial Navy, but Dad died at sea because he was too weak." Qila said faintly as she pulled up her hair.

Belmond looked at her and whispered, "Looks like I asked a question I shouldn't have asked."

"No." Kira turned around and smiled, "It's been a long time, and the sorrow of the past has settled. I remember my father always being alive. When I was confused, his figure always led me in the right direction. That's why he was always by my side."

"At least, that's what I think."

Belmond felt relieved when he saw the sunlight on her face. At this moment, the sailors on the deck all ran forward, and he casually caught someone and asked, "What's wrong?"

The sailor hired by Roger said excitedly, "The two of them are going to compete again. We're both going to watch the show."

Letting go of the sailor, Belmond looked at Kira and said, "Shall we go over and join the fun?"

"Alright, there's nothing to do now anyway." '"But Mr. Allen and Regis are quite energetic," said Chi, stretching his back. "I don't think Mr. Wilick has been able to adapt to sea voyages."

'"Because my boss and his brother are no ordinary people," Belmond smiled as he recalled Wilick's seasickness.

The deck in front of the parkman was already filled with spectating sailors. Even Roger stood on the steering wheel and looked down towards the deck. In the middle of the crowd were Ellen and Regis, the former casually carrying Qianjun while the latter wielding a saber and sword. His right hand was a long sword slashing iron, while his left hand was a Star Saber Slaying Absolute.

Alan smiled and said, "Are you going to use both of these weapons at the same time today?"

'"That's right. I used Slash Iron the day before yesterday, and I used Slash Iron the day before yesterday. None of them can beat you. So I plan to fight both of them today. How about it? Are you scared? If you're scared, you can admit defeat, Alan?" Regis grinned.

"I think you might lose faster if you use two weapons at the same time." Ellen waved to Regis and said, "Bring your horse over."

"If you underestimate me, don't cry." Regis took a deep breath and exhaled again, forming two green streaks of romance. A wave of light and shadow floated behind him, forming an engraving. Regis' inscription was called the Gale Leopard King, and he also had the ability to drive the wind, but it was different from Edward's ability to turn the weathered into blades, into barriers, and into all living things to defend against enemies. The wind that Regis was driving was mostly used to increase his speed and reaction speed. Otherwise, how could he use that high-speed flash battle skill?

However, what the Gale Leopard King brought was not only an increase in speed and reaction, but also the name of the Leopard King. That was the ability of the main seal to tear and sharpen. Along with the advancement of Regis' level, this ability had already begun to appear. At this moment, after a wave of air that was hard to detect with the naked eye wrapped around Regis, a burst of jade-colored light flowed through both his Slash Metal and Execution Absolute.

After this clear water ripple flowed past, the two weapons gave off an incomparably sharp feeling. Especially the Star Saber Execution Technique. The green light seemed to resonate with the saber, and the silver lines on the saber's body lit up like strands of hair. Zhu Jue trembled slightly and let out a clear "ding" sound.

The saber rang out, and Regis moved. The Iron Slashing Sword pointed forward. The sword and the man turned into a dazzling trail of light that was even brighter than the sun, flashing ten meters away from Allen. Alan's reaction wasn't slow either, and the Thousand Average in his hand disappeared with Regis's movement. When they appeared again, they had already blocked the iron chopper, and the sword had brushed off the bright sparks, illuminating the faces of the two brothers.

"It's not going to work, Regis."

"Really? What about this?"

Regis smiled as he slashed out with the Slaughter Definition in his hand. The power of the saber was as fierce as the wind and lightning. It was impossible to tell whether it was a sparring or a life-and-death battle. Allen didn't dare to be careless. He pressed down on the iron in his hand and used his strength to cut through the soles of Zhu Jue's feet.

Landing back on deck, Alan had just adjusted his posture. Light flashed in his eyes as Regis stabbed at him again. Alan smiled faintly and Qianjun turned into a black dragon. His saber roared like thunder as he bounced off the metal and fought head-on against the Slaughter Destruction. The two of them began to fight on the deck, and Regis's swords were getting faster and clearer. Iron Slash pulled on the sword's flash, attacking and displacing. Zhu Jue used the characteristics of his saber to attack Alan.

Rather than interfering with each other, the saber and sword in Regis' hands complemented each other. The more he used it, the easier it became. The saber and sword organized an impervious attack. It was replaced by a weaker opponent. Under his occasional flickering and sudden thrust, and occasional slashing movements, he was already dazzled. It was also because Alan was calm enough to defend against Regis' attacks with a thousand strikes, and he also had the power to backhand.

The two of them fought together, their swords colliding and their Origin Energy colliding, causing muffled sounds to resound in the battle circle, like thunder shocking from the blazing sun.

Regis suddenly shouted, "Be careful."

His entire body turned into a flash of light and shot straight towards Alan's heart. Alan thought that he was doing the same thing again, but seeing the faint smile on Regis's face, he couldn't help but raise his spirits and cautiously deal with it. The blade of Qianjun Blade trembled as it pressed out an orange arc of light to seal the blade of Regis' sword. However, when the flames struck Regis, his aura suddenly appeared above his head.

Alan raised his head, and Regis's figure appeared in the sky. He gripped the saber in his hand, and the blade emitted a faint blue light. Silver lines lit up, and as Regis slashed down, the saber light transformed into a river of heaven that floated down, forming a cross with the flash of light that had condensed and dissipated before!

"Sure enough, there is one." Alan shouted loudly. The blade of the Thousand Uniform Blade turned black and yellow. The surrounding air suddenly became incomparably hot. As the temperature soared, strands of green smoke rose from the deck.

Allen pointed his saber at the center of the cross-shaped radiance, and the two collided vigorously. Qianjun suddenly spat out an orange flame, while Regis' cross light exploded. Countless flakes of light and the flame transformed into wind and thunder, spreading out in all directions. Seeing that he was about to injure the surrounding sailors, a pitch-black mist rose up from the ground, forming a mist wall that blocked the aftermath of the collision between Allen and the other two.

After the fog wall descended, Belmond's face turned pale. He looked at the two of them and smiled bitterly, "Young masters, it's just a sparring. There's no need for us to use our full power, right?"

Alan said awkwardly, "Surprise, surprise."

Regis put away his sword and snorted, "What are you doing? My Southern Cross isn't fully deployed yet."

Ellen punched him in the head, "Idiot, if you really open it with all your might, do you want us to swim past Santa Trina?"

"But you, Southern Cross Star, are quite interesting," he added.

"That's right, this is a dual-blade battle technique I developed. How about it? If I have a chance to obtain a better weapon in the future, I still need to create a three-blade stream, a four-blade stream … It's exciting to think about it!" Regis said excitedly.

"Let's talk about it when we have that chance." Alan said with a headache.

Only then did the onlookers know how to breathe. The strong clash of their battle techniques had almost made them think that they were in the most terrifying storm at sea. After taking a deep breath, he couldn't help but cheer for the wonderful fight between the two of them.

Roger looked back at Gerald and said, "Our Lord Allen seems to be stronger."

Jeralf smiled bitterly. If Ellen, who had come to the Paradise to smash the arena, had the strength he had now, Jeralf would not have dared to imagine the consequences. Especially the Inch Flame that Alan had used in the end, the kind of battle technique that pushed the surging flame power into the blade and would only erupt with terrifying destructive power when it hit the target. Jeralf couldn't think of any abilities or battle techniques to resist it.

Or perhaps, when faced with such an extremely destructive move, he would only have one way to retreat.

If that was the case, then with the Southern Cross and Inch Fire fighting each other, Regis would probably not be any weaker than Allen. Thinking of this, the bitter smile on Jarraf's face became even heavier. He really didn't know where Alan had drawn these experts from, whether it was Regis or Belmond, who had used the wall of mist to block the aftermath of the two sides' attacks. Or William, who was still seasick, these people were all elite experts.

To be able to have so many experts, as well as armies like the Mountain King and Dark Blade, Jarraf believed. When he went to the heart of the empire, Alan would definitely make a big splash!
