I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

Sword energy soared into the sky, like a mountain rising abruptly from the ground. Streams of sword energy pointed straight to the clouds, intertwining and colliding in the air, producing a deafening roar.

At this moment, the sea was no longer a calm blue, but filled with the atmosphere of battle and endless killing intent.

As the sword energy continued to strike, the sea surface was torn apart, forming silver cracks, as spectacular as Moses parting the sea.

Wow!

The seawater surged on both sides, forming two towering cliffs that divided the sea in two.

Edelweiss's figure appeared and disappeared in the silver light, still beautiful, but there were several tears in her clothes, and blood was flowing down.

Tony, wielding the demonic sword and surrounded by runes, gleamed with unwavering determination in his eyes. "Truly impressive. Brother, you've entrusted all your weapons to me; surely this isn't the only one, the Sword of Cause and Effect?"

A dazzling sword light burst forth from Tony's demonic sword, pointing directly at Edelweiss.

Seeing this, Edelweiss dodged the attack with a swift movement.

The Shining King Sword blocked the sword strike and absorbed the power to tear everything apart from the demonic sword. Another sharp blade was swung, slashing towards Tony.

Clang!

The demonic sword struck Tony, but was blocked by runes.

The two swung their swords again, exchanging blows in a simple and unadorned manner.

Edelweiss's pretty face turned serious.

A major disadvantage!

Even with the [Shining King Sword], Tony remained committed to the swordsman's fighting style, but she was still at a great disadvantage.

Tony's state of mind, free from thought and intention, allowed him to wield his sword entirely on instinct.

Edelweiss's fighting style was also to abandon defense and wield his dual blades to continuously slash, using this method to defeat his opponents.

Tony's sword can block every single one of Edelweiss's swords!

"Deploy troops—Golden Sword!"

Edelweiss chanted softly, immediately activating the weapons under the control of [Thousand Body Scorching Star].

Without any pause or even time to react, the Golden Sword entered her soul.

Rather than saying that Mingxian accepted Edelweiss's request and handed over control of the Golden Sword to Edelweiss, it would be more accurate to say that he set a "default acceptance," completely opening up military power to her.

"This... is too much trust in me."

Edelweiss was somewhat surprised, but she did not pause at all. Instantly, she increased her divine power, and the silhouette of a Valkyrie appeared behind her.

It is precisely—the Star Slash that severs cause and effect!

Edelweiss's power is "contract," that is, a forced oath, a "coercive force" that transcends physical phenomena.

At this moment, this "coercive force" was materialized, transforming into the phantom of the Valkyrie behind him.

All you need to do is think, and you can wield the sword of cause and effect.

Zheng!

In an instant, aside from the [Shining King Sword] in his hand, a third sword slashed towards Tony!

The demon has two stages. The first stage is "awakening," which involves breaking free from one's own destiny and escaping its shackles.

The second stage is "transcendence and awakening," where one assimilates with the mythology on earth and becomes a mythical life form. In this process, one gains divinity but also loses humanity, eventually becoming a violent alien entity that is erased by the corrective force.

In other words, after being awakened through the ritual, the demon will gain divine power.

【Severing Cause and Destroying Effect: Star Slash】is the sword that leads one into the realm of gods!

Tony instantly boosted his spell power.

These are the key points for defending against enemy spells and divine power.

Even Thor's lightning, when fully activated with his magical power, can be nullified by 90% of its force.

The Sword of Cause and Effect could only barely injure Tony, and with the addition of [Steel Protection], this level of the Sword of Cause and Effect was completely ineffective against him.

Clang!

【Severing Cause and Effect: Starry Sky Slash】The sword of cause and effect in his hand was like fragile glass. It gently touched Tony's body and instantly turned into dust, scattering all over the ground.

but.

Another, heavier sword of cause and effect has already drawn a golden trajectory in the air, like a crack in the sky, foreshadowing a turning point in fate.

Golden lines, like the strokes of a deity, pierced the silence of the sky, carrying an irresistible force, striking directly at Tony's body.

boom!

Countless runes, like fragments of a curse, flew through the air along with the blood gushing from Tony's left arm.

Tony's left arm was now as fragile as withered wood, the bones seemingly about to break at any moment, and blood gushed out like a spring, staining his clothes and the land red.

Edelweiss activated the second divine artifact.

【Severing Cause and Destroying Effect: Starry Sky Slash】You only need to think about it to swing the sword.

The weapon being wielded at this moment was the Golden Sword.

The divine power of [Steel Protection] was severed, tearing Tony's body apart at the same time.

Tony's body suddenly froze. In Edelweiss's firm and cold eyes, there was an undeniable determination. The two swords in his hands intertwined and danced in an instant, turning into two silver streaks of light that rushed straight towards Tony.

The dazzling light released by the [Shining King Sword] slashed mercilessly towards Tony.

"O Seal of Protection, transform into a city of steel!"

Runes surrounding him flew out and transformed into shields, protecting him.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The surrounding air seemed to tremble under the pressure of this fierce aura, and dust flew everywhere under the light, as if even space itself was trembling and distorting at this moment.

A strong gust of air was stirred up, blowing the surrounding scenery to pieces.

In that split second of the exchange, Tony seized the opportunity to flip his body and skillfully evade Edelweiss's attack range.

He leaped and immediately retreated.

Meanwhile, the rune culture formed high walls, one after another, blocking Edelweiss's offensive!

……

Liliana floated in the air, observing the battlefield below.

"It is not a human being, but a transcendent being, a demigod. It should be a being that dwells in the Netherworld, but it is currently active on the ground. It is truly unbelievable."

His eyes shone.

She had a revelation.

Edelweiss is not human.

Rather, it is a higher spiritual being, an existence freed from the shackles of fate.

Their existence transcends human destiny, transforming them into beings that are neither human nor divine.

It is neither human, nor god, nor god-slayer.

The power of the Transcendent is far less than that of the Godslayer; they are not as powerful as the Godslayer and the gods. However, Edelweiss at this moment is more like a "sword" than a Transcendent.

"A legion composed of countless swords, whose souls have become weapons, is now under their control."

Liliana murmured, "She is the 'sword' of the seventh god-slayer, like a familiar summoned by the god-slayer, just like Marquis Voban's 'wolf', or the Black Prince's familiar."

Her mind was immediately in turmoil, unsure how to react to this turn of events.

Zheng!

The golden sword energy pierced through the seven walls of runes and went straight for Tony. He simply turned slightly to the side, and the sword energy passed by his arm, only tearing his sleeve.

At this moment, Tony and Edelweiss were facing each other across seven rune walls.

"My sister is really amazing!" Tony exclaimed with a smile, adding, "Her swordsmanship has reached a level that slightly surpasses mine."

"But there's nothing I can do about it, since I'm really not good at anything related to magic."

"I find it much easier to swing a sword a thousand times than to do something like that."

In response to such remarks, Edelweiss simply said earnestly, "You have the heart of a child. If you were in my world, you would also become a demon and surpass me to become the world's strongest swordsman."

"Haha, that's quite a compliment." Tony laughed heartily. "My former sword teachers always called me an idiot or lamented that I didn't have any magic."

The [Severing Cause and Destroying Effect Star Slash] behind Edelweiss disappeared.

She sheathed her sword and looked at Tony.

"As a swordsman, I have undoubtedly defeated you, but as a warrior, I have no chance of winning!"

"Oh, oh, oh, my sister is really perceptive," Tony couldn't help but exclaim. "People like us are very good at fighting. No matter who the opponent is, we can always find a 'way to win.' I've already found the way to win."

Edelweiss said directly, "Let me see the overwhelming victory you've found!"

Tony slowly raised his right hand, and his arm transformed into a dazzling silver, as if kissed by moonlight, radiating a solemn glow.

A vast amount of magical power quietly condensed in his hand.

In an instant, a silver light shot into the sky, tearing through the heavens with unstoppable force, pointing straight to the firmament, like an invisible sword piercing through the world, leaving behind a dazzling but brief trail.

In the distance near Naples, Andrea's gaze was involuntarily drawn to this sudden spectacle. He frowned and muttered under his breath, "What the hell are these bastards up to now?!"

His words revealed both astonishment at the unknown turn of events and a hint of indescribable anxiety.

At this moment, not only Tony, but also the witches gathered in Naples, and any magicians on earth who were fortunate enough to witness this dazzling sword light, were all moved by this breathtaking scene.

A strange emotion was surging within them.

Awe, fear, excitement...

A mix of emotions.

The earth itself seemed to groan in mourning, witnessing this extraordinary miracle.

The soul of the god-slayer transformed into a sword, which was displayed to the entire world!

The force that defies fate, as if in defiance, openly boasts its existence.

boom!
