Chapter 328: Rise to the Present

At the same time, on the top floor of a luxury hotel, in a chess and card room...

At this time, this chess and card room was occupied by a group of high-ranking people from the Red Copper and Black Cross group.

Without exception, they all gathered in front of an LCD TV, watching the images played on it.

Looking closely, the picture showed a forest that had become a battlefield.

In the forest, two swordsmen were fighting fiercely. They shuttled through the forest, interweaving their figures at an astonishing speed, causing swords to flash and shadows to fly, and mud and gravel to swirl.

Wherever the swords and sabers passed, trees fell down in large numbers, and the ground was broken by the silver slashes and the black sword light, leaving countless cracks and sword marks all over the earth, and ditches and gullies appeared one after another, destroying the forest bit by bit.

The fierceness of the battle was like the reappearance of a myth, the coming of a natural disaster. The scene was extremely spectacular and shocking.

"Gulu..."

I don't know who swallowed, but the sound was particularly obvious in the quiet chess and card room.

Logically speaking, this should be a very disrespectful behavior, at least for these people who call themselves knights.

But whether it was Erica or the others, they were in no mood to pay attention to this at the moment.

They just looked at the images displayed on the LCD TV, watching the fierce battle that made the forest howl and the earth collapse, with horror in their eyes and on their faces.

"Is this the battle between God Slayers?"

“How powerful…!”

"It's terrible! The forest is being destroyed!"

"I can't believe this is the result of swords colliding with each other..."

"I, I can't keep up with their speed. I can't see their swords anymore...!"

Everyone couldn't hide their shock and started talking to each other.

The people present were not ordinary knights, but were sent by the Copper and Black Cross after Aize killed two gods and Tony arrived in Sardinia.

Some of them are great knights like Erica, while others are magicians whose status is no less than that of the great knights or high-ranking members of the Copper and Black Cross. They are knowledgeable and their vision is far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

However, at this moment, looking at the picture displayed on the LCD TV and the fierce battle between the two young men, those who had a high status in the Red Copper and Black Cross, and even in the entire Milan magic world, were all plunged into indescribable shock.

"I am not surprised that the King of Italy and the leader of the entire Southern European magic world have such sword skills and great power."

"He is the King of Swords, the strongest swordsman in the world, a warrior among warriors who can kill gods with just a sword. It would be strange if he didn't have skills of this level."

"But I didn't expect that the new king who was born in the East not long ago would also have this level of swordsmanship attainments!"

"Wasn't he a normal person before he became a God Slayer?"

"There's something wrong with the intelligence we collected!"

Erica also agreed with the last sentence.

After seeing Aize's battle, Erica also had a feeling that people's perception of Aize was wrong.

Such sword skills and such techniques are definitely not something that an ordinary person can develop.

and……

"What about that black sword?"

"It was able to collide so fiercely with the devil's sword that cuts off everything without being destroyed..."

"That's definitely some kind of divine tool!"

Divine tools are objects that depict the wisdom of heaven or the power of myths.

They basically come from myths, from those familiar legends, and are things that are roughly the same in nature as gods.

They are like gods that appear on earth in the form of objects, and each of them possesses extraordinary wisdom and mystery.

Although they are just tools and objects, some of them are more powerful than the gods themselves, and some are more famous than the gods themselves.

Like the Eternal Spear Gungnir, its power is unmatched even by gods, and its legend of always hitting the target is world-famous. It is not difficult to kill gods with it.

Although there are weaker divine tools, no matter how weak they are, they are not comparable to human creations.

It is basically impossible for human creations to pose a threat to God, but divine tools have such a possibility.

However, the reason why sacred tools are sacred tools is because they are items used by gods.

Even if some powerful divine tool has been brought down from mythology or ancient times to the present day and has been obtained by people, it cannot be used casually.

Some divine tools are simply not something that humans can use, some require a certain price to use even if they can be used, and some have extremely harsh conditions for use...

In short, it is not easy for humans to use divine tools as they please.

However, Aize is suspected to be using some kind of divine tool to achieve the goal of confronting Italy's Sword King head-on. This is undoubtedly an extremely important piece of information.

"Could it be... that is the weapon this king used to kill gods?"

Some people have put forward the conjecture that it is because Aize possesses such a powerful divine tool that he was able to successfully kill the gods and eventually become a godslayer.

Erica did not join in the conversation, but stared at the picture on the LCD TV, watching the battle intently.

She was also a knight, and a knight with excellent swordsmanship, but compared with the two people in front of her, Erica suddenly realized that the swordsmanship that she had been proud of in the past was actually just so-so.

"What kind of training did one go through to acquire this kind of divine skill?"

Erica was thinking about this question.

Under such circumstances, Aize and Tony were still fighting fiercely, and the battle situation was gradually becoming more intense.

"Rumble..."

The forest not far from here began to shake like an earthquake, and slowly began to fall apart...

…………

"clang!!!"

In the dust raging in the storm and shock waves, Aize and Tony were like two chariots. They first charged at each other, and then slashed violently, causing the black magic sword and the silver magic sword to collide heavily.

The collision of steel and steel made a clanging sound, and sparks exploded like flames. The impact at that moment not only shattered the ground under the feet of the two people, but also blew up countless gravel and sand, making the world seem to be wailing and shaking. "Boom!"

Tony had completely entered a state of frenzy, with an extremely excited smile on his face. He raised his silver wrist high and chopped down with the silver sword. The instantaneous slash broke through the atmosphere, shattered the earth, and formed a heroic sword energy that slashed towards Aize.

"Shh!"

Aize did not choose to fight head-on, but took a flash step, his figure disappeared like a phantom, and only reappeared when the ground was split by the sword energy. He rushed in front of Tony, and the Black Furnace Demon Sword in his hand emitted high temperature, turning into a flash-like slash.

"Qiang-Qiang-Qiang-"

Aize slashed out three times in a row, slashing at Tony's head, shoulder and waist respectively, but Tony turned his silver wrist and used the shortest and smallest movement to move the sword in his hand towards Aize, easily blocking Aize's attack.

Aize was relentless and slashed out like a storm, one after another, one move after another. The trajectory of the slashes was sometimes clear, sometimes hard to find, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes straight, sometimes curved, making people dizzy and overwhelmed.

"It's really awesome!"

Tony smiled as he displayed his sword skills that were no less than Aize's as usual. He wielded the silver sword as if it came alive, sometimes winding like a snake, sometimes straight like a gun, showing his freedom in doing whatever he wanted.

However, it was this kind of casual swordsmanship without any obvious style that blocked all of Aize's torrential attacks.

"I thought that the only person in the world who could compete with me in swordplay was the Chinese martial arts king. I didn't expect that my new compatriot is also a master of swordplay. This is really a pleasant surprise!"

Tony's voice was filled with joy, and he looked extremely happy.

"It's a good idea to come to Sardinia. It's great to meet you, brother!"

Tony laughed and waved his silver wrist, releasing the power of the magic sword unscrupulously, turning each slash into sword energy that cut through the earth, and attacked Aize in an overwhelming manner.

"I'm not as happy as you!"

Aize injected a large amount of cursed power into the Black Furnace Demon Sword, causing the sword's body to swell rapidly.

"boom!!!"

As the pitch-black giant sword swept across, all the sword energy was cut in half, along with the trees that were touched by the pitch-black sword light transformed by the giant sword, which collapsed and dissipated, raising a thick dust and storm.

"Don't try to trick me, brother!"

Tony grinned, suddenly charged forward, and rushed towards Aize like a bullet.

"You're obviously enjoying it!"

As Tony said this, he swung his sword and hit the Black Furnace Demon Sword that Aize had raised, and actually knocked Aize back.

Feeling the slight numbness in his hand holding the sword, Aize immediately stared at Tony and looked at the scene around him.

There, nearly a hundred cuneiform-like symbols appeared at some point, rising and falling around its body as if protecting it.

That is the Nordic runic alphabet, and also the proof that Tony has activated his second power.

Salvatore Tony, this new generation godslayer who was born only four years ago, possesses a total of four powers, but only two of them are known to have clear origins.

One is the Silver Arm usurped from the Celtic God-King Nuada, and the other is the Protection of Steel usurped from Siegfried, the dragon-slaying hero in Norse mythology.

It is the power that gives one's body the hardness and weight of steel to protect oneself.

Tony, who possesses this power, is equivalent to having half an immortal body. Even if he is struck by lightning or attacked by bullets, he will not suffer any harm.

After the body is tempered, it not only becomes incredibly hard, but the super weight can also be used in attack to hit the enemy, and the movements will not become sluggish due to the weight of the body. It can be said to be an enhanced ability that combines offense and defense.

In addition, the steel body allows Tony to not need oxygen and food. He will not die even if he is stranded in water or a vacuum for years. He can even enter a state of suspended animation to avoid fatal attacks, which also maximizes his survivability.

After Tony realized that Aize's physical strength was amazing and that he couldn't fight him head-on with his mortal body, he activated this power without hesitation.

Relying on this power, Tony was able to confront Aize head-on, who had amazing physical strength. Otherwise, with Aize's current physical ability, he would have been unable to withstand his blows and would have been cut in half by him.

In addition to the silver wrist that can give the object held the power to cut through everything, the attacks from the black furnace magic sword in Aize's hand that can burn everything were also taken by him one by one.

Both of them possessed the power to cut through everything, so naturally neither could do anything to the other after they collided with each other, just like the four-colored magic swords that once had the characteristic of being defenseless and could only cancel each other's power when they collided.

Of course, the current Black Furnace Demon Sword is much more powerful than the original Four-Color Demon Sword.

It can contend with the Torn Silver Hand and cut off Veleslana's divine body with one strike. This has proven that the Black Furnace Demon Sword is now qualified to compete with the power of God. It is a weapon worthy of being called a divine weapon!

This was his first companion, and the weapon that accompanied him throughout his battles and rise to prominence till now!

What Tony said was right, he was indeed enjoying it now, because he truly felt his own growth, as well as the growth of the Black Furnace Demon Sword!
The fact that he can display sword skills that are no less powerful than Tony's is also a proof.

Because Tony's sword skills have reached the realm of God, and they are skills that only the God of Sword can display.

Aize was able to compete with him with his sword skills, which showed that the Black Furnace Demon Sword had also reached the divine realm. This way, he could rely on his own authority to display divine-level weapon wielding abilities and display divine-level swordsmanship.

"I really want to show Qilin and Claudia how powerful we are now."

Aize inexplicably came up with this idea.

Then... a silver sword wrapped in amazing magical power suddenly appeared in front of him and slashed towards him.

"Don't be distracted, brother! Let's have another good fight!"

Tony said this loudly, and the silver sword in his hand flashed like a flash, and the strike was like thunder, and in the blink of an eye it hit Aize's head.

"Pfft!"

Aize, who was standing there, was suddenly cut into two halves by the silver sword, but a large amount of blood did not spray out. Instead, he suddenly disappeared like a phantom.

"Shh!"

Aize appeared behind Tony with the flash step.

"boom!"

The pitch-black magic sword violently slashed on his back, like hitting an iron ball, and with a roar, it knocked Tony away.

"Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-"

Tony turned into an iron ball and flew out like a rocket, smashing tree after tree, and finally crashed into a Nuragai, smashing it to pieces.

Smoke and dust rose up, and rubble rolled down, burying the King of Italy, never to be found again...
