Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

The rolling smoke in the cold front oscillated.

Moans instantly reverted from his elemental form. As he regained his physical body, he was about to flee, at least to get out of this frost-covered place.

"It's now!"

Locke charged forward, unleashing a punch with the power he had been building up for so long.

"Gangfist!"

"Xingyi: Saber-toothed Tiger!"

Thick, lead-like blood surged within him, transforming into immense force as he unleashed it with both fists.

Its surface was jet black, like iron, clearly the result of Armament Haki compressed to its extreme.

Chapter 180: The Decisive Strike! The Assassin's First Rule!

"Roar--"

The saber-toothed tiger roared with power.

Locke's long-awaited, charged attack struck the fleeing Moans precisely.

Elementalize?

It can withstand energy impacts, but it can't withstand high-level domineering aura!

A powerful and domineering individual is the natural enemy of elementalization!

Moans had a strong grasp of timing, but Locke's control of the battle was clearly no less impressive.

His transfer was abruptly stopped.

"At once……"

"This kind of attack is far from enough to kill me! Your strength is too weak!!"

Catching a fist in the face.

Even with his face almost swollen from being slapped, Mo Ansi still remained arrogant and defiant.

Even a dead duck is stubborn; all that's left of its body is its beak, and it's still hard even after it's dead.

"not enough?"

"So what's the next move?"

Locke was not angry at all; instead, he gave a strange smile.

[One-Hit Kill - Murasame!]

“Hey—”

A blinding flash of blood-red light burst forth in mid-air, the fierce slash carrying a bewitching glow.

"Wha, what?!"

Mo Ans's pupils contracted as he saw the attack erupting in his field of vision.

The person was instantly terrified!

A chill ran down my spine.

It was far more terrifying than seeing the sunlight reflected off Najenda before.

Their three souls were almost scared out of their wits.

hide!

hide!

hide!

You absolutely must hide!!

Faced with Locke's domineering charge, Mo Ans, who refused to retreat due to his status as a general, lost all fighting spirit the moment he saw the offensive. He threw all his fame, honor, and dignity to the back of his mind.

He flicked the black knife in his hand.

Without even exchanging a glance, he immediately turned and retreated swiftly.

He, who had been somewhat defiant in front of Locke just moments before, instantly became as cowardly as a groundhog.

That!

That was the blood that killed Snow!

The mere touch of blood could be fatal, and he wasn't so reckless as to gamble his life on the odds.

The horror of the demon sword Murasame.

Any powerful general who witnessed Snow's tragic state knew what was going on.

Trying to ambush someone?

Absolutely not!

If you can't afford to offend them, can't you at least avoid them?

The short and stocky Moans, like a wisp of smoke, endured the attack and tried to escape at top speed.

慌！

Yes, he was genuinely panicked this time!

Repeated defeats.

I kept getting caught!

This time, he even felt a deadly threat.

He had been calm and collected, treating Locke as a prize, but now he was completely flustered.

I dare not ask for more...

Fearing the unknown impact that was about to happen, Mo Ans was actually forced to run away by Locke.

A distinguished Army General.

Not only was he beaten badly, but he was also forced to run away on multiple routes by a near-general-level ability user.

If this gets out and the sea finds out...

Locke's already exaggerated reputation will definitely rise to a new level in an instant, elevating him to an even higher status.

This definitively confirms the dying words left by Rocks.

—The next one! King of the World!

pity……

Such sensational news is destined not to circulate at sea.

because!

One of the main characters in the news.

Nowadays!

They'll just have to die on this deserted island that nobody knows about!

"Esdeath!"

Locke closed the final loop.

The endless cold current instantly converged at this moment, reaching its highest peak.

The frigid environment on the isolated island seemed to pause for a moment, giving a feeling of spring warming up. But the next moment, an even more bone-chilling cold than a deep abyss suddenly erupted from everyone.

Mo! Ke! Bo! Te! Mo!

Frost poured down!

The cold air is frozen!

To bring the movement of matter to an infinitely static state at the molecular level.

Esdeath had been building up her power for so long, whether it was surging cold air, using her ultimate technique [Ice Storm General], or finally detonating the Ice Knight, all of it was to bring the cold air on the island to its peak.

This allows another profound technique of [Demon's Essence] to erupt in the shortest possible time.

They tried their best to shorten Moans' reaction time.

"We've fallen for their trap—"

At that moment, his pupils shrank to pinpoints.

(chag) Layered layout.

The waves surge endlessly.

Like an insect trapped in a spider web, the more it struggles, the deeper it sinks.

This time, Moans was truly gripped by fear.

Not to be an enemy!
