Gacha Sovereign

Chapter 922 - Four Purities Slash

"Interesting." The Sword God smiled as he jumped forward, facing Alex again.

Alex also did the same. Because of the earlier attacks, they decided to prolong the battle by fighting with only their weapons.

Using this chance, Alex utilized his Sword Mastery to the maximum, trying to rip the biggest benefit he would get in this fight.

The Sword God seemed to have realized that and decided to increase his power.

Alex gritted his teeth, and when the Sword God slowly got the upper hand. He tried to try a few things and refined his movement even further during this battle, so he could match up with the Sword God's movements.

Even so, they kept fighting against each other for a long one hour until they exhausted most of their power. Many wounds covered their bodies, but their focus was still as strong as ever.

Alex took a few deep breaths as he tried to calm himself down and slow their pace down.

He learned a lot in this fight to be honest. Even his Sword Qi and Spear Qi got a breakthrough, achieving Rank 4.

"It seems you haven't learned many things yet." The Sword God looked at the giant fox behind Alex that had been maintaining the sun. "Anyway, it's time to finish this fight."

Alex checked his body conditions and nodded. The fight would be concluded in either one move or a few more rounds. Their body wouldn't last that long anyway.

Knowing that, Alex raised his sword and spear before moving forward.

The Sword God matched his movement and made the first move.

"Hell Lion."

The same lion flew out of his sword, making its way toward Alex.

"Swallowing Heaven." Alex countered it again with his two dragons to bite the wolf from the two sides.

However, the Sword God actually leaped toward its back and stood on top of the wolf, riding it toward Alex. When he saw the two dragons coming, he waved his sword back and forth a few times. "Double Blade."

The energy that was released by the sword knocked the two dragons away.

Alex slashed his sword horizontally, aiming at the lion's head and the Sword God himself that was luckily aligned at the moment.

"One Sword Kill, Blade of Extinction."

The Sword God suddenly used his feet to lift his body a bit to the air as he jumped off the tiger.

The tiger died because of this attack, but the Sword God actually made a surprising move.

Alex instinctively dodged to the side despite seeing the Sword God's figure.

"Purgatory Sword."

This Sword Wave was horizontal and bigger than the previous ones. It ran through the ground and slashed the fox and the giant fireball into two.

*Boom!*

When the giant ball exploded, it produced a lot of smoke and scorching heat, but the Sword God seemed to be fine.

Because he wanted to end it, the first thing to do was to destroy Alex's domain first and the powerful boost the fox avatar gave him. He didn't destroy it earlier because he wanted to see the extent of his strength, but it wasn't needed anymore.

This was also the reason why Phitrus decided to make it as his armor instead of a giant avatar like that. It was easy to destroy.

After having his advantage disappeared, Alex decided to play this one step further. He waved his sword again.

"One Sword Kill, Blade of Extinction."

As soon as it flew out of his sword, a Space Gate suddenly appeared in front of it, swallowing the attack. This would surely give him the opportunity to attack the Sword God.

Unbeknownst to him, his opponent suddenly stomped the ground as he moved at a speed that was never seen before, surprising Alex. He arrived right before the Space Gate and the Sword Wave and struck them both. "Absolute Sword."

The two techniques were split into two without any power to fight back.

Alex clicked his tongue. He never expected that the Sword God had been hiding his power this whole time. No, he must want to make him think that this was his full speed. All just for this moment. He sacrificed everything to seal Alex's Space Power, making sure he didn't use any of his techniques.

"That's not enough." Alex snapped his finger as he prepared a backup plan. An array appeared out of thin air as it summoned five swords that immediately flew toward the Sword God.

"Five Executioner Array."

The five swords then fused together and created a more powerful attack that was capable of surpassing his Mythical Fire Slash, albeit barely.

"It's still not enough." The Sword God snorted and cut it down with his Absolute Sword. However, it wasn't Alex's true aim. He suddenly placed his hand on the ground as two arrays suddenly appeared, one beneath the Sword God while the other one was on top of him.

From the bottom array, around a thousand swords emerged from within before flying toward the top array. When it struck the array, it then produced a few more arrays, stacking on top of it.

"Sword Prison Array."

The arrays then produced an immeasurable pressure that even made the Sword God fall on his knees.

Alex then used this chance to send his Blade of Extinction again toward the Sword God.

Noticing that he would die if he didn't solve this array soon, he closed his eyes for a second before opening it wide. His eyes were glowing at this moment as incomparable Sword Intent and Sword Qi flowed out, causing a small disturbance.

It was like a Space Disturbance but more complicated because the Sword God cut every single element in that single moment.

This disturbance was enough to break the array and set him free. He then rose from the ground and waved his sword.

"Hell Lion."

Alex widened his eyes when he saw this technique again. It was far stronger than the same technique he used a few times previously. When he tracked the reason, it turned out to be his eyes. The energy that flowed out of his eyes was infused into the Hell Lion, strengthening it.

Because of this, the tiger managed to clash with his Blade of Extinction. It wasn't an easy clash as the Sword Wave pushed the tiger back.

Alex saw this movement and decided to jump forward. He believed that the tiger would break his attack apart, so he planned to make a follow-up attack.

The moment the tiger ripped it to shred, Alex was already right behind the Sword Wave as he thrust his spear toward the weakened tiger.

"Twin Fusion Spear.' Alex planned to use this spear to hit the tiger and had his Pure Fire attack him from behind as his Spear kept moving forward to pierce him. This way, he would have two directions attack.

But to his surprise, the Sword God was fast enough to recall his tiger, making Alex hit nothing. At the same time, his attack wouldn't be activated because he never hit anything.

"You lose…" The Sword God smirked as he took another step back. It was the same move he used to create a small distance to launch his Purgatory Sword. "This attack of yours is indeed powerful. Not only it contains the Godly Pure Fire and the Unique Space Element, but the Divine Intent is also one of a kind. Unfortunately, you might have missed a single weakness in this attack, which is…"

"Absolute Sword. Purgatory Sword Version."

The Sword God launched his Sword Wave, but using the drawing technique his Absolute Sword possessed to create a more powerful Sword Wave that was capable of cutting anything.

When it touched Alex's spear, the bending space was suddenly cut as it struck his spear. Because the space element disappeared, the Pure Fire couldn't go through the gap and hit him from behind. At the same time, it even broke the tip of his spear.

"!!!" Alex widened his eyes and immediately retracted his spear. "Kh!"

"That's the biggest weakness. If I destroyed the Space Element that contained and channeled your Pure Fire, it wouldn't reach me." The Sword God looked at him with a serious expression.

Alex let go of his spear and created a new one. "I am still curious what your intentions are. There is something wrong with your movement… If you wanted to kill me to force me out of this place, you would put more energy into it. You didn't do anything like this and decided to fight me with only weapons."

"Hmph! My goal is beyond your understanding." He snorted. "If you can beat me, I will tell you about it in a way even you can understand it."

"…" Alex twitched his eyebrows. "I will end this in one last round. Whether you die because of it or not… It will depend on your skill."

"Hmph. Skills are the last thing you want to mention in front of me." He snorted as he sheathed his sword again. "Absolute Sword. Purgatory Sword Version."

The same powerful attack flew toward Alex.

Seeing this, Alex gathered all his elements in his sword while thinking. 'I can only do it once with my current energy. If not because I have gained the minimum requirement, I won't be able to do it. Either way, I will only have one chance.'

Alex jumped forward as he slashed the Sword Wave with his spear.

"Three Purities Slash."

Since the Twin Fusion Spear wouldn't work, he decided to gamble it all with his full power from the start.

As expected, his Divine Energy, Divine Intent, and Elements combined into one and clashed with this Sword Wave.

"Ha!" Alex couldn't help but shout in a spur of a moment as he cut down the Sword Wave.

However, the Sword God was actually behind his Sword Wave this whole time with his sword sheathed.

"This is the end." He looked at Alex without a poker face as he drew his sword. "Absolute Sword."

Alex should know that this was a trap that had no other way to escape. His drawing speed was something faster than even the slight move he had for a split second. With him targeting to cut him into two, no matter how hard he tried, it would still cut him into two.

Alex should fall into despair at this point because he undoubtedly had lost. However, no one could predict Alex's plan. He, instead, smiled when he found the Sword God stood there as if he had been waiting for him.

"Your Three Purities Slash won't be enough to stop this attack." The Sword God snorted as if his victory was assured.

"Three Purities won't be enough… In that case, I shall level up one more." Alex grinned as his sword started emanating a blue and gold aura. "Sword and Spear Possession!"

"!!!" The Sword God widened his eyes in surprise. He realized that it might only last for an instant, but that attack had certainly reached that boundary. "Ha!"

"Four Purities Slash." With the addition of this technique that created energy from the sword itself, Alex managed to combine and create the four purities that his sword needed to level up once more.

*Boom!*

This kind of slash was one of a kind as it shook the entire realm, making it unstable. Luckily, it managed to withstand the powerful energy coming from this clash.

When the shock wave disappeared, it revealed two figures with their backs facing each other, showing that the match had been concluded.

Alex suddenly fell on his knees as he spat a mouthful of blood. He didn't have enough strength to even lift up his sword, so he could only grit his teeth, feeling frustrated.

"Excellent." The Peerless Sword God smiled as he glanced a bit upward before stretching his other hand to his severed arm. However, he only grabbed the sword not his arm. Whether it was his pride or his habit, he wouldn't let his sword fall to the ground as long as he could grab it.

"What excellent… I don't have even a little bit of energy to lift up my sword. If you decided to kill me, I would have died by now," Alex said while panting.
