Chapter 1295: Four Vs One (1)
The [Annihilation Sword] technique that Vexthra gave to Kent has seven forms. So far, Kent had only mastered the first two forms, or more like he had only learned the first two forms.
He was too busy to focus on the other forms, and since he wasn’t always in danger, which required him to go above and beyond, he never bothered to learn.
The first two were enough for him.
[Rapid Slash] is the first form. It allows him to unleash 450 sword arcs with a single swing of his sword. He had already mastered this to perfection, allowing him to unleash all 450 sword arcs.
Although it is a powerful sword skill, it is most useful in large-scale battles. Since not all 450 sword arcs would land on the target, using it against multiple targets is more useful.
Then there is the [Void Cleave] form. This skill is as simple as unleashing a single sword arc, but the longer it moves, the stronger it gets.
The same sword arc will do more damage to a person standing 30km away than 3km.
Of course, Kent realised he had been limiting himself due to his low mastery of the sword. However, the moment he became a sword king, he saw something that had eluded him all this time.
He discovered that it wasn’t just the distance that affected the strength of the void cleave. It had to do with the size of the arc, too. At first, the maximum length of the arc he was able to unleash was 30 meters.
However, now he had unleashed 100 meters. Looking at the Void Cleave tear and fracture the void around its colossal form, he knew there was more to unlock.
The single attack had become a disaster on the move, packed with so much power as it locked on the insidious Void Howler Beast.
It raised its legs and unleashed two powerful attacks, manifesting the claws of a primal beast. However, long before they could close in on the Void Cleave, they fractured and tore apart.
HOWL
The Void Howler Beast howled, raising its strength to the max, and channels of void energy moved through its body toward the two front legs.
This time, it stomped on the ground, causing it to shake. It fractured and spread across the ground for a few seconds before exploding, sending thick beams of obsidian toward the sword arc.
BANG
The void cleave landed on it, creating a loud bang. The defence of the Void Howler Beast turned out to hold this time around. However, a few seconds later, they shattered.
What followed was a powerful bang that sent the Void Howler Beast flying away.
However, Kent had no time to see whether he had killed the Void Howler Beast, considering he was under heavy assault the next second.
From the east, the Abyssal Frost Serpent unleashed a breath of abyssal ice, freezing a trail behind it as it aimed to freeze Kent into an ice popsicle.
He raised his left hand and, tapping into his ice element, commanded thick walls of ice into existence. The beam landed on it, shattering the first few layers.
But at the same time, from the south, a beam of fire came from the Solar-Pelt Lion, causing Kent to unleash a powerful sword arc, cleaving through the fire.
However, before he could retaliate, a shadow fell on him, followed by a surging sea of nightmare-infested water.
"The fuck?" Kent raised his head only to see the Seven-Horn Nightmare Devastating Shark Beast falling on him from above like a mountain.
"Bitch, the fuck is this monstrosity?" Kent channelled energy into his sword and was about to unleash a powerful slash when he suddenly sensed the void tremble a few meters behind him.
CRACK
It cracked, and from within, the Void Howler Beast emerged, a large wound cut into its body. It seemed the void cleave worked as intended, but it had also enraged it.
Now, with a surging sea coming and a raging beast slashing forward with its claws, Kent found himself locked down.
All four beasts were Tier 22 (Death Stage), that is, three realms above Kent. However, he didn’t seem too alarmed by being surrounded.
The Four beasts are calamities of their own uniqueness, yet he seems unbothered.
He waited for the Void Howler Beast’s claw to reach his face. At the same time, the water was less than a meter away.
If he were to be swallowed by this water, he would fall into a nightmare-type illusion. That is the main aspect of the Seven-Horn Nightmare Devastating Shark Beast.
So he waited, and when the time was ripe, he raised his sword and stabbed it into the ground.
"FREEZE."
With an absolute command, the water that was surging toward him stopped mere inches from him, same as the Void Howler Beast.
Its body froze under the freezing power of Kent’s Chaos Ice. He knew he had to use the absolute ice to the max if he wanted maximum effect.
The sea is frozen, and so is the Void Howler Beast.
But he wasn’t done. He didn’t spend this much Ice essence just to freeze a surging sea and a Primordial beast. The main attack came after the freezing.
"EXPLODE."
The moment the word left his lips, the frozen world around him grew colder and then exploded into a bombardment of Ice and carnage.
BOOOOM
The Void Howler Beast’s frozen body burst apart like brittle glass, chunks of void-tainted flesh scattering through the air before dissolving into streams of black mist.
Only its Blood Essence was collected from its terribly exploded body. Kent would have loved to have its blood too, considering it is Tier 22. But that was even frozen and shattered into mist.
However, the tower collected the frozen fangs since those are important to him. After all, they are what he came for.
The sea of water hovering inches from Kent detonated too, blowing outward in a violent whirlpool of frost and steam.
The explosion ripped through the air, shaking a major part of the forest as shockwaves travelled for hundreds of kilometres. Everything in its path was frozen.
The Abyssal Frost Serpent recoiled instantly, sensing the pulse of Chaos Ice tearing through the battlefield.
Its massive body bent unnaturally as it retreated with frightening speed, unwilling to be caught in another one of Kent’s soul-numbing ice detonations.
But Kent wasn’t watching the serpent. He had a much more pressing issue to handle.
His gaze had already shifted upward.
The Seven-Horn Nightmare Devastating Shark Beast was still falling. Its jaws opened wide, revealing a vortex of nightmare qi swirling within its throat.
The seven horns on its skull were dim, showing it wasn’t using them just yet. Kent didn’t know what would happen when they lit up, but he knew only a sword could kill this bastard, so he wasn’t about to use any other skill.
He could turn into his dragon form and easily trash it. However, since killing the Seven-Horn Nightmare Devastating Shark Beast is a requirement that must be fulfilled using the sword, Kent knew it must fall to his sword.
The beast looked like a living calamity, a creature forged entirely for slaughter and corruption. If it swallowed Kent whole, even with his soul immunity, he would still suffer soul damage.
Even if he somehow survives, he would never be the same.
He would lose himself to madness inside its belly, that is, if the acid in its belly didn’t melt him to a puddle upon contact.
Kent planted his foot on the shattered ground, cracked earth racing outward from beneath him.
"Come down then," Kent muttered, tightening his grip on Gaap.
