Chapter 177 Chapter 95 Carlossti (Part 2)
“Boom!”
The sword light raised by the black armored knight fell, and the re-frozen sky, and even time, shattered at this moment. The searing blood-colored tide instantly burned pure white holy light. The mere ripple, upon hitting Elishia, made her face pale, shattering her bright armor and sending her flying more than ten meters away.
“Elishia!” Charle gripped a luxuriously decorated dark blue staff, channeling enormous demonic power to deflect the residual force that hit the girl, barely catching her. Even so, the immense impact still caused her chest to sting.
Elishia had no time to wipe the crimson blood from her mouth. She forced herself to mobilize the holy light power within her body, twisted her head strongly, and her golden eyes showed anxiety, “Charle… quickly!”
Charle raised his pair of azure eyes to meet the blood-light sword raised by the black armored knight. His slender jade fingers pressed inside his robe, but he hesitated for a moment.
At the same moment, Carlossti stepped down before Ig, the blood-light sword in his hand showing no sign of its power overflowing, the burning blood fire blinding!
Under Carlossti’s attack, Ig had no time to react at all. The endless blood light almost filled his entire perception, and even Verafia, standing beside him, felt impossibly distant to Ig.
Ig alone faced the ancient and powerful black armored knight. The knight’s dark wrist armor moved, and amid the trembling sound of metal and blood qi grinding, he raised his straight blood-colored sword.
The blood-colored sword edge fell into Ig’s eyes, almost becoming a magnificent horizon. Ig instinctively raised the End, and the ancient blade, inscribed with fire patterns, roared with scorching golden flames, striking directly!
The sword edge chopped down by the black armored knight was like cutting through thin paper, cutting through the blooming phoenix fire of absolute beauty, along with time. In Ig’s azure eyes, the blood-light sword reflected decomposed into a straight line.
The burning blood-colored fire stripped away, overlapping with the pure white sword edge that Carlossti had once imprinted in Ig’s eyes. Ig’s wrist trembled slightly in response, and the straight long sword End was tilted slightly in the shattered mid-air.
“Boom!”
The blood-colored long sword struck End in the next instant. The roaring blood fire poured and swept, the rumbling sound almost shaking the entire sky, and all time and space around them shattered!
“This…” Elishia, held in Charle’s arms with a pale face, couldn’t help but exclaim. She struggled to stand up from the girl’s embrace.
The roaring bloody flames surged like an angry tsunami. Even the young girls, hundreds of miles away after spacetime was severed, couldn’t help but look shocked.
“Carlossti…”
Beside Ig, the golden-haired girl slightly raised her scorching golden eyes. Her delicate, silk-like hair was lightly brushed by the blood-colored wind. Around the girl, every approaching blood light was incinerated by golden flames that suddenly ignited in the void.
Verafia raised her pale white face and let out a soft sigh. Her porcelain-delicate little face became quiet again. She gazed at the swordsman beneath the dark armor and the heavy blood glow, a deep sadness flowing in her gorgeous golden eyes.
The blood-colored long sword struck upon End, fire, sound, and all power fluctuations were swallowed by the rolling blood light the moment they were born.
The bloody gale shattered space, and all consciousness around was crushed, as if only the two clashing swords remained in the entire world.
Feeling intense pain transmitted through his body, Ig felt as if his arm was about to break. Gritting his teeth, he supported End, which was pressed against the blood sword. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and he lifted his eyes with difficulty.
Under the attack of the black armored swordsman, which far surpassed Star Rank, Ig, a mere Bronze, had not been directly annihilated!
The black armored knight lowered his gaze, and beneath his helmet, his blood-colored eyes dimmed slightly.
“As expected… this is just Galant, condensed from Lord Oran’s lingering thoughts.”
A broken, hoarse voice came from within the metal armor. Ig looked up in surprise, but the young man instantly understood the meaning of the other’s words.
Although his Miss Phoenix had said that everything they saw and encountered after arriving in this world was “real.” However, even though Duke Oran’s power was close to deities, this legendary Blood Race progenitor had long since died. What maintained this world was merely lingering residual thoughts.
That he, Ig, had not been cleaved to death by the black armored knight in front of him was the best proof.
But Ig couldn’t help but fall into thought.
“However, his previous power was not fake either. He directly annihilated even Claude, who was a Star Rank. This place, so-called illusion and reality…”
In mid-air, the End sword and the blood-flowing blade continued to clash. Everything around them seemed to be paused, and the space touched by the pouring blood fire tide slowly shattered and healed.
The black armored knight’s lowered blood eyes gazed at Ig beyond End. After a long silence, he suddenly spoke.
“You, young man, I have seen you before. However, you can actually remember my sword momentum.”
Ig looked up, his gaze falling on End, which was clashing with the blood sword. Even now, immense power was continuously transmitted from the metal sword hilt he tightly grasped.
Ig remembered instinctively raising his blade to meet the knight’s attack, as if he had understood such a fierce sword technique countless times. As Ig looked up to speak, the knight’s blood-stained eyes fixed on him fiercely.
“…And, on you, besides Lott’s sword, there is a power I cannot identify. She is noble and beautiful, yet she makes me tremble.”
The black armored knight’s intermittent voice continued. The knight’s lowered blood eyes suddenly flashed.
“However, you are merely Bronze… young man, what is your name?”
“Senior Carlossti, you can call me Ig.” Ig concentrated and quickly replied.
“Ig… Ig, you have Lott’s sword in your hand. Could it be that it is also inherited from Lord Oran?”
Ig recalled what his Miss Phoenix had said. The girl had indeed mentioned her thoughts about this inheritance. Ig nodded.
“Since that is the case…”
Carlossti uttered in a low voice. Suddenly, a clanging sound came from the knight’s hard metal black vambrace, and the battle sword, burning with blood light, was lowered.
Ig couldn’t help but take a half-step back, pressing his chest with his left hand and coughing several times. The young man looked up, and suddenly, his pupils constricted sharply.
The tall black armored knight’s body began to burn with even more scorching energy fluctuations. The flowing blood-colored ripples on his black armor surged turbulently, thick and pure blood power coiled and twisted, and the terrifying power of the knight completely disintegrated into an unstable state!
“Senior Carlossti!” Ig shouted.
“I have already perished. What I speak with you is merely relying on the Duke’s lingering thoughts. The entire world, and everything you witness, is Oran’s blood. And I perceive that he has awakened.”
But Carlossti seemed unfazed, allowing his body to decompose continuously, scarlet, dense light dust with terrifying power spreading out.
“Successor of Lott’s, what you desire is the inheritance of Oran, the commander of the East during the Demon Race War, the sword that slays demons, the knight crowned by the Holy Seat and the King, the Grand Duke of the Western Territory of Peka, the greatest warrior of the entire kingdom, and the ancestor of the Winged Blood, Oran. You should personally face his blade.”
—
After thinking about it, I will directly skip the first phase of the boss and not fight with Carlossti.
