Age of Adventure - Chapter 355 THE SLASH
He could not lose his mental right now.
‘I need to retreat first. As long as I am alive, I will have a chance to turn this back’
He turns back to see the other side of the river and he move his hand to quickly reach there.
But even before he tries to swim there, the wall of water that has appeared because of the sword strike falls back down to the riverbed and created a powerful water current.
The joined river because of the different topography on the bottom of the rive suffers some instability
Because after Aero strike, there is a large deep gash on the riverbed that resembles an abyss.
When the river water falls back down, it fills the abyss and erode the sides of that gap which created even more erosion on the bottom of the river.
The water fills that area and with that, the river turns wavy like it is trying to familiarize itself with this new environment, trying to make sense of the riverbed.
Alexander was caught in this as the river suddenly have a pulsating spiral in the middle of the river
He Is slowly being pulled toward that spiral in the middle of the river as Alexander tries to swim opposite of that spiral.
The river water joined back together with a surging momentum, creating turbulent waves in the river and there was silence in the battlefield.
They did not know what to do. It was like everyone was entranced when they saw that sword strike. Aero sword strike had exceeded everything they know about the peak of swordsmanship
Maybe if there is a warrior out there that reached such level, they could contend with Aero. But in this battlefield, there is no one that possess such power
As such, they were speechless and dumbfounded, not knowing what to do now.
Aero alone had broken the enemy lines, and he had chased the King of Veranis to such a dire state that if not for an inch, the King of Veranis would already be dead.
The dust is still covering the trail of the sword force; but a second later, the dust was blown by the wind of the morning and everyone could see the devastation that was brought upon by Aero one slash.
Aero had uses Slashing Through Life and Death.
This time it is even more powerful than before. In that one slash he had killed thousands of people.
His slash did not even leave any traces, grinding those soldiers into dust and scattered them through the winds.
In front of Aero is an empty route.
There are no soldiers and there is no one else that will be able to stop him.
There is only dust and silence around him. Dark red mist could be seen on the trail of his sword force and the grass along that trial were all withered and the ground was scorched black.
Aero of course would not let this kind of opportunity go to waste.
Some of the river water had even become so heated and turns to gas, returning to the sky.
Aero slash takes a chunk out of the river water.
And there is the fact that there is deep gash mark on the bottom of the river now because of his attack.
People all over the battlefield is still trying to see what happens amidst the dust and the distance.
Veranis and Vanheim soldiers both wanted to know. Some of the soldiers in the frontline could see it but those in the back could only wonder as they keep engaging with the enemy.
Kyle did not turn to help Aero and instead quickly engage Antonius back.
Kyle did not need to help Aero more than necessary. He trusted that Aero would finish the job.
After all, all of this, this war, this battle, most of it has the trace of Aero. His dark hand guiding it from behind
Kyle keep fighting hurling his fire balls to the enemy soldiers while his guards protects him from the volley of arrows that keeps raining down on him
Aero jump onto the water and because of his speed and his killing intent he could create some kind of reflective force in the water, enabling him to run across the water.
Like a flash of lightning he quickly run on top of the water, gliding like some kind of immortal.
Aero was reminded of Lizhu Gerard and his demeanor that looks like some kind of immortal god.
Alexander saw that Aero is coming closer to him and he did not hesitate at all.
‘I need to survive this’ he thought desperately in his mind.
He uses all the force that he could muster and flew out from the spirals, a surge of power erupted out of him that causes the water around him to disintegrate turning into heat.
The moment he went out of that spiral, Aero is only around eight feet behind him, jumping using the water, flying forward in the air.
Aero eyes shines with killing intent and there is a smile on his face. The smile on his face is quite terrifying considering that he still had that demonic feature.
His hair flew wildly and that red eyes seems to be able to induce madness in people heart.
Aero hand is already ready to unleash a sword strike to bring down Alexander to the Underworld and bring a close to the curtain of this war.
But Alexander did not yet want to give up.
‘Aero of the East, my life is no yours to take’ That powerful surge of energy that is still around the area, swirls around his hand and then he clenches his fist.
The moment he clenches his hand into a fist, the wind around him change courses and the space around his hand cracked.
He then punches his fist forward and an image of a large fist appears behind him. This is one of the pinnacle technique of a warrior.
Like the people from Western Heaven, the native people of this world also has the ability to learn skill.
The people of Western Heaven is blessed by heaven that they could easily learn skill just by using the system given to them by the Heavens
It is already quiet incredible that Alexander had managed to train a fist technique to this degree.
The moment he uses that fist strike, he become pale almost immediately and his energy went down low.
Aero did not expect that Alexander attainment as a warrior is this high. It is no wonder he thought he could contend against the Three Pillars.
It is only a pity that he used this against him. If he had used this against Zeus, even he would have a hard time trying to defuse this fist strike.
The fist aura fills the sky.
Its energy cracks the space in the air.
Aero with one glance could see that this kind of skill surely had taken a toll on Alexander body.
Alexander with that fist strike unleashed was propel backward by the force and once again further the distance between them.
Aero could see that Alexander wanted to use this fist strike to delay him and retreat safely back to his castle
If that were to be allowed, it would take more time to bring down Veranis and who knows what the other western kingdom would be doing when they found out that he is leading the army in the Plains.
There would be more variables to his plan and that is something he did not want to see. While he could adapt to situations, he preferred following the plan
It is not easy to bring him out of the castle.
Aero would not allow it. Aero look toward Alexander in the distance, treating like the gigantic fist aura that is descending down on him like air as he shouted
‘Today, I exact justice for the Empire and for your father. Since I promised it, I will honor it!’
Aero kick the water, his entire body leap up toward the sky, flying up to meet and clash with that fist strike.
He then gripping his Heaven Sword tight, make an upward motion slash
The forces of Heaven gather on the tips of his sword and then he unleashes a sword cut as he was just a few inches away from being punched by that fist strike.
