Infinite Reincarnation: Survival Begins from Ishimura

That bloody edge was swift and sharp, tearing through the carriage's ornate curtains, causing blood-red pearls to fall like rain.

The power of blood, twisted to its extreme, warped the very space it passed through, carving out a terrifying spatial rift.

Mu Xing quickly raised the Moonlight Greatsword in his hand, holding it in a defensive stance.

With a clang, the sound of metal against metal echoed.

The surging destructive force was completely blocked by the Moonlight's agitated blade.

Although Mu Xing was pushed back, he was not harmed in the slightest.

The attacker in the carriage did not pursue; the violent aura rapidly congealed, and the billowing curtains began to fall slowly.

Mu Xing instantly knew that it was not Queen Annelise riding in the carriage, but Executioner Logarius.

An old, withered arm pushed open the ruined door of the carriage, and like a shadow, he stepped out from the mysterious darkness.

He wore a black robe, the fabric thick and gleaming with a cold luster in the dim light.

The wide sleeves swayed gently in the wind, like shadows surging in the night sky.

He wore a rusty crown, the wheel of history leaving its weathered marks on this illusory crown.

Withered white hair was scattered loosely over his shoulders, intertwined with a long white beard, almost completely obscuring his face.

Only a glimpse could be caught of the deep, hollow eyes that flickered with a dark gaze.

Like two will-o'-the-wisps burning in the cold night, icy and sharp.

An ancient Sumeru traditional white robe was already decayed, stained a dull grayish-yellow by dried blood.

A gorgeous gold pendant inlaid with a dazzling bloodstone hung on his chest, reflecting a brilliant halo in the bloody light emitted from the strange scepter in his hand, shaped like a sickle.

Logarius was tall and gaunt, like an ancient stone pillar standing in a desolate land, exuding a stern and weathered aura.

Every gesture he made radiated an innate dignity and solemnity.

If not for the Cainhurst's tradition of queens, he would have been the most qualified person to be king of this kingdom.

Logarius raised his head, his empty eye sockets no longer containing eyes.

In order to eternally guard and imprison the "cursed" queen, he did not hesitate to transform into an undead, so as to resist the erosion of time and death.

Icy cold air escaped his mouth, and the sickle scepter in his hand gradually became stained with blood.

"Wait, I'm not here to fight. We are not enemies, Logarius."

Mu Xing extended his right hand, trying to communicate with Logarius.

However, the other party ignored Mu Xing's goodwill, and the sickle scepter in his hand had already swung over.

Space was cut open with a bloody vein, extending swiftly towards Mu Xing.

Mu Xing knew that a fight was inevitable.

He no longer hesitated, holding his sword to meet the attack.

The sword's edge collided with the sickle's blade, blood and moonlight intertwined.

With a bang, the violent shockwave overturned all the surrounding Blood Clan guards.

They fought from the land all the way to the sea, half of the ocean dyed red with blood.

The other half was shrouded in moonlight.

The power of the higher ranks condensed into an energy field similar to a domain, colliding fiercely, stirring up monstrous waves on the sea.

"Captain, do you need help?"

Caesar was beheading a Chaos soldier, kicking out his writhing, mutated body.

"No, clean them up quickly and block any Chaos soldiers coming to support them."

"Understood!"

Caesar's long sword pierced through the body of a soldier who was transforming into a Chaos tentacle monster, and golden light was released from the crack.

With a bang, it turned him to ashes.

Here,

Mu Xing raised the Moonlight Greatsword high, and the moonlight in the sky was summoned down by him, landing on the blade.

The sword energy turned into pure light of purification, he was going to purify Logarius's confusion.

Logarius's figure gradually disappeared at this moment; it was the illusory crown on his head.

Mu Xing quickly searched for traces of Logarius around.

But with the blessing of the illusory crown, Logarius could not be seen at all.

He quickly activated the Observer's Insight, and only then did he capture a faint illusion.

Mu Xing directly closed his eyes, no longer using his own eyes to observe, but using his inner eye.

This time, he directly saw through Logarius's ability.

He actually turned the surrounding space into an illusion and then integrated his body into it.

Fortunately, the inner eye could clearly detect the higher power in his body that could not be hidden, and it was seen through at a glance.

Suddenly,

Logarius slashed over with his sickle blade, and at the same time, the power of blood in the space condensed into dangerous tracking skull wraiths.

Mu Xing snorted coldly, breaking it with a single sword strike, and the purifying moonlight destroyed the skull wraiths.

As Logarius rushed over, he used absolute power to slash away the sickle blade in his hand, and the greatsword of spewing moonlight stabbed straight at his forehead.

However, Mu Xing's goal was not to kill, but to awaken.

He poured the power of moonlight purification into his sea of consciousness, erasing the turbidity that Chaos had left in his mind.

When Mu Xing withdrew his sword, Logarius's hands drooped, and his body bowed slightly.

Suddenly,

He raised his head, and the eye sockets that burned with cold will-o'-the-wisps also began to turn into a warm gold.

He seemed to have regained some sanity.

Mu Xing breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he did not force Logarius into the second stage, otherwise there would be another fierce battle.

"Who are you?"

Logarius stared at Mu Xing in front of him, or rather, the Moonlight Greatsword in his hand.

"Why is Ludwig's Holy Sword in your hands?"

"Since you still remember this sword, it means you are awake. I think we can have a good chat, Logarius."

Mu Xing casually threw the Moonlight Greatsword out, letting it hover quietly behind him, guarding him with moonlight.

Just then,

The last scream of the Chaos soldiers came from afar.

The Chaos that was responsible for guarding and escorting the carriage had been completely killed.

Caesar led the team members to begin expanding the defenses outward, preparing to meet any Chaos that might come to support them.

Logarius was thoughtful: "It seems Ludwig has found his righteous successor. How is he?"

Mu Xing realized that this executioner from Cainhurst had an extraordinary relationship with Ludwig.

Come to think of it, they were actually the same kind of people.

One firmly believed in justice, and the other practiced purity.

Both of them seemed like aliens in this world and this era.

"He is dead. It's just a pity that my teacher pursued the justice in his heart all his life, but he didn't know that he had been blinded all along, and he failed to find the truth and true justice until his death."

Mu Xing stared at Logarius in front of him. He claimed to be Ludwig's disciple, hoping to get closer to this executioner.

And these words seemed not to be about Ludwig, but about Logarius in front of him.

Logarius also heard the implication in Mu Xing's words.

He grabbed with his right hand, and the sickle scepter that had been knocked away by Mu Xing flew back into his hand.

The blood light on the sickle blade dissipated, and the killing intent disappeared.

Mu Xing knew that he had completely calmed down and could have a good chat.

The two landed directly, returning to the beach where the waves were churning.
