Age of Adventure - Chapter 354 A FEW INCHES
A powerful sword light shoots out from his sword, imbued with powerful killing intent. The killing intent alone is enough to suffocate and kill people.
It sweeps through all the people in front of him, and on his side.
‘Wha- ‘Before anyone could express their shock, the sword light engulfed them like it is some kind of a gigantic monster mouth
There were a few hundred people in front of him.
That one slash cut them through more thoroughly than any sword slash Aero had performed since the battle began.
In that sword light, there is thousands of sword energies.
This sword energy grinds the body of the Veranis soldiers, grind their flesh and grind their bones and when the sword light passes. all it left was dust
The soldier behind Aero all stopped. None of them dares took a step forwardu003e each one of them fear that they would suck into that spiral of energy.
But the force of that sword also appears and cut them all down.
A swift light passes through and their neck all have thin straight line. Before they could express their disbelief in what is happening, their heads all slide down from their neck.
The sword light cut down all of the soldiers that is between him and Alexander. Only Aero could see this since his eyes was not affected by the sword light.
But to others all they could see is shining light that sweeps everything. It grinded everything, like it is a blender, sharp and lethal
The sword light and the sword force destroyed all those powerful soldiers and elites as easily as the waves of the ocean blows and topple up sandcastles.
That is how easy it was for them to die.
In front of that sword strike, life seems very cheap. Spiraling wind was left in its wake, and every grass around that area withers, like a destruction force had drained them off life.
The Killing Intent soars all around this point of the battlefield.
And then the sword light finally reaches the river. The river water was calm and there is fishes swimming around before.
But even before the sword light arrive at the river path, the fishes there could sense it earlier and already swim downwards to the part of the river where it is far from that killing intent
The river that Alexander is swimming in is not that deep but it is not that short either.
And there is boulders and rocks on the river where some people could rest onto.
If today was a good day and not a war, some people might rest their weary body in the river, bathing in it and when they are tired of swimming around, they could rest their body on these boulders, enjoying the water and the sun
The skies even though it was morning looks terribly dark and ominous.
The sword light arrived. The moment it passes the river water, the river water exploded, its streams jetted up upwards.
The bank of the river collapses. The large boulders on the river exploded, turning to rubbles and swept away by the river water current.
That sword light cut down the river trial, a deep gash mark appeared on the bottom of the river. Whatever living thing that is inside the river were all dead.
Even water could not escape from the sharp energy of the sword that Aero had used.
Alexander is already inside the river and was about to swim to the other side as he had let go of his hose to go first.
He thought that Aero attack would not reach him the moment he jumps into the river. He truly believed that he had escaped Aero.
So it shocked him, when he saw how Aero had created such a divine sword strike that turns his soldiers into ashes.
Right now, he is truly scared. He thought after the sword light had killed his soldiers, it would dissipate.
But contrary to his expectation, the sword light, like it possesses unlimited energy keep moving forward and is now coming to him.
The soldiers around him all jump in front of that sword light, trying to delay its arrival toward Alexander body.
Each of the soldiers that jump in front of that sword light all turned into dust.
The sword energy grinds them all and as the sword energy collided with water, the entire river seems to tremble.
The river was parted into two wherever that sword light passes and the bottom of the river quakes with a great explosion, a deep abyss appeared in the bottom, instantly changing the current of the river in a blink of an eye
A straight line denoting the direction of the sword light could be viewed for afar as one could see that the sword light parted the river water.
The sword energy parted the water river into two huge walls of water, that one could see the dry riverbed
Alexander saw the sword light and he could swear he could see a demon images is slashing a sword toward him. His life flashed by for a second as the moment of death seems no near
Ten feet, five feet and two feet. This sword light moves very quickly that a distance of ten feet is traversed in only a few second
And just when it almost reached Alexander and cut him into tow, like a breeze wind that blows, the sword light dissipated into motes of light and only a bit of the force was released to him, causing him to be pushed a little backward by that force and almost lost his balance in water.
But…. the sword light did not come down on him. He survived.
Alexander watch that light dissipated just a few inches before it strikes him and he was speechless for a while, and he laughed as he tries to see the face of the Chancellor.
But even before he could finish his laugh, suddenly, the armor that he wore cracked slowly. Alexander look at his armor and before he could do anything that armor split into two and the river current took the armor away
It is a lightweight armor that he had found in the Royal Treasury that enables him to still swim in the river even when wearing it.
It is very sturdy and no normal weapon could break it. But Aero strike, from a distance of almost 100 ft. away from him could easily cut his armor down
Alexander gulped and he had no mood left to laugh at the Chancellor failed attempt to kill him
Argh! He suddenly grimaced as he felt a slight biting pain on his chest.
he looks down at his chest and he saw that there is a straight red line on his chest. The water flows and passes that red line and immediately blood seeped out from that straight line. Alexander knew that it is a cut.
A long cut from his chest to his navel. But it was not deep. If it was deep even a few more inches, Alexander knows he would be dead.
Considering that Aero strike had a hidden force, even a few inches deep more would injured him terribly.
He looks toward that figure covered by the dust in the distance and he could not help but feel fear rising in his heart.
Even with such distance separating them, he still could unleash such an attack that sweep everything and nearly kill him.
If not for him being held up by Antonius army sacrifice and if he was a bit closer in distance with the Chancellor, then right now he would be dead.
