Terror spread wildly across the knights’ faces.
They could not stop retreating at this moment, voluntarily falling back into the hell paved by the corpses of their comrades.
Kenma stood on the opposite side of all the knights.
He merely took a step forward, causing the crowd ahead to instinctively step back by one step.
After their feet were stained with the thick blood of their companions, the string in their hearts, stretched to its absolute limit, completely snapped.
Since death was already inescapable, let’s fight to the death!
“Ahhhhhhhh!!!” People roared like madmen, as if this could alleviate the fear in their hearts, and rushed forward recklessly.
Facing the rising and falling roars in his ears, Kenma made the same gesture he had when he first entered the conference room.
He reached out to pick his ear, then brushed his hair upward, and laughed wildly, saying, “Hahahaha!
Exactly like this!
Abandon your lives!
Launch your final charge!” The ground beneath his feet shattered with a boom.
Kenma rushed forward , crashing into the charging crowd.
Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and lives vanished.
…
The luxuriously gilded doors were pushed open, and a young man holding a greatsword walked out leisurely, greedily inhaling the clean air outside.
“Phew…
This kind of unpolluted air is still the most comfortable.
Inside was full of the stench of blood, making it almost hard for me to breathe.” Behind Kenma were corpses blanketing the ground, along with severed limbs scattered everywhere.
Wherever he walked, he left a trail of heavy bloodstains, and blood continuously dripped from the hem of his clothes.
Yet, not a single drop of blood on his body belonged to him.
All of it came from the countless enemies just now.
Walking forward for dozens of meters, his footsteps paused.
He smiled and greeted, “Yo, Reinhard.” The red-haired Sword Saint standing opposite him had a look of pain on his face, tightly closing his eyes as if struggling with something.
After a long while, Reinhard reopened his eyes.
“Why?” “Why?” Kenma shrugged indifferently, pointing his blade toward the hall littered with corpses.
“Reinhard, as the Sword Saint, it’s impossible for you not to understand their intentions.
From beginning to end, they harbored the intention of suppressing us with military force.” “They didn’t allow me to carry weapons, didn’t allow you to accompany me, and stationed a large number of well-equipped knights inside the venue.
What do you think they wanted to do?” Listening to Kenma’s heart-piercing questioning, Reinhard clenched his fists tightly, at a loss for how to retort for a moment.
After a few seconds, blue light flashed across his body, and all expressions of struggle and pain vanished.
Reinhard, this Child of the World, had obtained a brand-new divine protection.
Divine Protection of Calmness: The user can maintain absolute calmness at all times, unaffected in their judgment by any major external stimuli.
He sighed, reaching his right hand downward to grip the hilt of the Dragon Sword Reid, his gaze no longer holding its past gentleness.
“Subaru-sama… No, Natsuki Subaru.
What you said is clear to me, but you have slaughtered the Council of Wise Men and killed a vast number of knights cultivated by the Kingdom of Lugunica over many years.” “In this era where the entire royal family has perished and the kingdom is in turmoil, you have personally buried the future of the Kingdom of Lugunica.” “I, the Sword Saint of the Kingdom of Lugunica, Reinhard van Astrea, shall execute you here for the crime of destroying the country.” As his strength grew, Kenma increasingly perceived just how terrifying the dual combination of Reinhard and Reid was.
Even for him today, at the moment of being pointed directly by Reid, he could not help but feel heavy oppression.
But even so, he still had no intention of bending his spine.
He held the sword in one hand, similarly pointing its blade toward Reinhard standing on the opposite side.
“Excessive words are useless, come and fight.” The next second.
The two moved simultaneously, their speeds reaching superhuman levels.
The black-haired and red-haired figures intertwined and passed by.
Reinhard raised his hand to flick away the blood stained on the surface of Reid, his expression complex.
“I am very sorry, Subaru-sama.” Behind Reinhard, Kenma stood rigidly in place, the greatsword in his hand having already shattered into dust.
A line of blood spread from his forehead all the way to his lower body, and his entire body was split vertically into two halves.
However, Reinhard suddenly sensed something was wrong and turned his head in disbelief.
Suffering such a one-hundred-percent fatal wound, the corners of Kenma’s lips nevertheless curled into an arc.
He threw away the shattered greatsword, forcefully grabbed his two split heads, and jammed them back together.
The newly grown flesh quickly intertwined, and the body that had just been cut in half recovered to its original state in the blink of an eye.
“It’s not over yet!
Before either you or I die, this battle won’t stop!” The next second, Kenma’s grinning face and the roaring punch magnified rapidly in his pupils.
Reinhard put down all resistance, even letting Reid droop to the ground.
The punch struck dead center on his cheek.
Reinhard’s body swayed but he did not fall down.
In the very next instant, his wrist flipped, and the drooping Reid slashed from bottom to top.
In this less than a second, he drained the mana within a radius of hundreds of meters, forcibly condensing an extremely large amount of mana into the Dragon Sword.
Rumble!
A soaring pillar of blue light illuminated the sky of the royal capital.
Kenma’s entire body was thoroughly annihilated, not even a trace of residue left behind.
…
[Ding!
Avenger has been triggered, obtained 1 Free Attribute Point.] Kenma opened his eyes, and the luxuriously gilded doors appeared within his field of vision.
Back already.
To think that just after finishing those bold words, he was completely ground to powder by a single sword strike.
Fuck!
However, after going through this battle, he suddenly realized a problem.
Although Reinhard had long stood at the absolute peak in this world, there was an existence that had destroyed half the world standing shoulder to shoulder with him.
And that incomparably powerful existence had always been right behind him.
Thinking of this, excitement flashed in Kenma’s eyes.
Why not give it a try?
