Fairy Tail Space Mage

"Worry... solid!!"

The hardest sword among the "Hundred Swords"—a famous sword that never breaks, never chips, and never wears out—is named "Yougu" for some unknown reason.

Anyway, "Smiling Fox" didn't like the name. So, he never mentioned it to anyone.

But today, when he looked at what was in his hand, he couldn't help but turn pale, and then, trembling, he cried out.

And as its master called out its name, the last thread of connection snapped... The most sturdy of the "Hundred Swords" was cleaved in two today!

Chapter 143 Peerless Ferocious Weapon

"You don't seem to like its name... but it likes you very much, even though you've fallen for someone else now."

Kong sheathed the small katana in his hand and put it back into his spatial ring.

With his opponent's sword broken, the outcome was already decided. Moreover, his swordsmanship was extremely taxing on his mental energy, allowing him to use it only once in a short period. Even if he held a small katana from now on, it would be useless.

"What! How did you know! What did you do to my sword!"

The Smiling Fox couldn't believe it; he couldn't believe that Yougu would break; he couldn't believe he would lose; he couldn't believe that Kong knew what he was thinking.

"It was your sword that told me... I don't know why, my swordsmanship is terrible, but I can still hear the sound of swords. Could it be that I've used 'Time Restoration Spell' too much and received the favor of the God of Items..." Sora muttered to himself.

"I can hear the sound of a sword!"

"Isn't that the ultimate goal for a swordsman?"

"The realm of a sword god? Impossible, but..."

The audience erupted in uproar!

Several "sword saints" also looked shocked!

Only Lisanna, also a "stranger" in this land, like Sora, didn't understand why they were reacting so strongly.

"Impossible! Impossible! I am the Sword God! It can't be someone from outside the 'Land of Martial Arts' like you! You must have cheated just now, otherwise, how could you have only severed 'Yougu' without harming me... The profound meaning of 'Man and Sword as One,' 'Yougu' and I clearly..."

The "Smiling Fox" was the most affected and could not believe it at all.

"Don't you understand yet? Your sword, in order to protect you, took unnecessary damage, which is why it was cut in two! Otherwise, did you think... However, unfortunately, it forgot the rule of the 'Man and Sword as One' school: 'Man and sword as one, the sword is the man,' thinking that by blocking my fatal blow, it could save you! ... Well then, Master of the 'Man and Sword as One' school, the time has come to uphold the rules of your school that you just mentioned here! While the sword spirit of 'Yougu' is still intact, use its broken blade to end your own life!"

Kong stared at the "Smiling Fox," his eyes filled with oppressive intent, and his face turned somewhat cruel! At this moment, his killing intent was no longer concealed at all!

Yes, his real purpose in accepting the "sword duel" was simply to make "Smiling Fox" commit suicide in front of his disciple!

He was filled with disgust for the person before him. He could no longer wait for Lisanna to become stronger and then personally kill him!

Kong's current appearance exudes a terrifying sense of oppression. The "Ten Sword Saints" finally understood that the man before them possessed not only gentleness, domineering nature, and arrogance, but also the same cruelty as they, the swordsmen.

He severed the sword, which was more precious to the person than their own life, yet left the opponent unharmed. Then, he publicly forced the opponent to commit suicide!

In the hundreds of years since the "Man and Sword as One" style was created, probably no swordsman of this style has ever suffered such cruel treatment. And today, "Smiling Fox," the leader of a sect, has encountered it!

All the swordsmen, including the "Ten Sword Saints," stared at the empty space on the stage with fear in their eyes. They looked as if they were looking at a demon that devoured swords.

"Man and sword as one, the sword as the man? Hahahaha! You're right, the reason I lost wasn't my fault, but the fault of the sword in my hand! It's all its fault, too fragile, unworthy of my swordsmanship, so it broke! ...But, it's fine this way. Anyway, after today, I don't plan to use it again. Anyway, today, I will obtain the strongest sword in the world, the sword that killed the Sword God and devoured the only 'divine sword'! After today, I will be invincible!"

Clearly, "The Smiling Fox" has no intention of following any rules. Or rather, he has completely gone mad, and his thinking has fallen into utter chaos.

But his words still startled many people in the audience.

"The sword that killed the sword god," "The sword that devoured the divine sword"—there are indeed legends of such a deadly weapon in the "Land of Warriors." However, everyone has always thought it was just a legend.

Although the sudden disappearance of the "Sword God" and the "Divine Sword" hundreds of years ago remains a mystery, it is also for this reason that the "Hometown of Martial Artists" has been mired in division and fragmentation for hundreds of years.

"Are you telling the truth, Smiling Fox!? You actually obtained that deadly weapon!"

The first to speak was Liu Feng, who ranked last among the "Ten Sword Saints." However, his expression was extremely serious, and not a trace of his usual frivolousness could be seen.

"Haha! That's right, it was unearthed within the territory of that small sect. Although no one in that sect could recognize it, just in case, I had no choice but to kill them all! ... Ah! Little girl, don't look at me like that! To be honest, I admit I'm cruel! But, that's that sword, the peerless weapon known for its unparalleled attack power, capable of cutting through anything! We, the 'Man and Sword as One' school, have spent our lives searching for swords, and now that we finally have the chance to possess it, how could I not be extremely careful!"

"Smiling Fox" stopped talking nonsense, threw out the "Yougu" which was only half left in his hand, and took out a long strip wrapped in layers of white cloth from his spatial items, stroking it with great care.

His actions instantly drew everyone's attention. Kong also focused his senses on the object, but surprisingly, he didn't detect any magical fluctuations.

Just as Kong was beginning to doubt whether the thing was a fake, the sword saints' "holy swords" suddenly lost control, separated from their wielders, and flew into the air, unleashing powerful magical energy!

They seemed to have encountered some natural enemy or foe, each one agitated, wishing they could rush over immediately and cut the thing wrapped in white cloth in half! The six sword saints were flustered and hurriedly manipulated secret techniques to calm their respective holy swords.

Meanwhile, in various places in the "Hometown of Warriors," the slovenly swordsman in a teahouse, the young hermit meditating in the deep mountains, the beautiful older sister in a red dress teaching at the academy, and the ninja whose blade still had bloodstains after an assassination—the swords beside them all emitted strong magical fluctuations and seemed to fly out of control toward the Imperial Sword City.

However, perhaps due to the great distance, their senses were weaker, and they were quickly suppressed by their users. But without exception, their users all wore grim expressions. They understood what such a reaction from their swords meant.

"Alas! When will this cursed land finally regain its peace?"

The older sister who was teaching ignored the wide-eyed, frightened look on the faces of the children at the academy. Without even changing her clothes, she summoned a giant red-crowned crane, mounted it, and flew towards Huangjian City.

On the way, she saw a disheveled swordsman waving vigorously at her from a mountaintop. Left with no other choice, she had the red-crowned crane use its long beak to carry the man onto its back and fly with him towards Imperial Sword City.

"Mei, I didn't expect Liu Feng to be right." The slovenly swordsman said seriously after settling into his seat on the red-crowned crane.

"Yes... As two of the three great strategists, neither Xianju nor I believed that the deadly weapon would appear so easily. It seems we were too naive!" Luo Mei felt a little discouraged.

Chapter 144 Unsealing, Birth

"Alas! I hope we can make it in time. Although six of the 'Ten Sword Saints' are there, to seal that evil weapon again, all ten 'Holy Swords' must be gathered together."

This disheveled swordsman, seemingly unremarkable and of middle age, is actually Yun, the number one ranked swordsman among the "Ten Sword Saints," a master of the draw-sword style. Having spent so many years with his holy sword "Flowing Cloud," this is the first time he has experienced such a strong sense of unease from "Flowing Cloud." This makes his own heart uneasy.

It's likely that the other nine "Sword Saints" are in similar situations to him.

Detailed information about that deadly weapon is known only to the user of the "Holy Sword" and the four oldest schools of martial arts.

It was precisely because they knew its detailed information that they understood how dangerous it was! They understood the immense disaster it would bring to the "Land of Martial Arts" after its emergence!

Therefore, for the first time, he, who had always been carefree and had dismissed Liu Feng's request with a laugh, felt a pang of regret. If they hadn't arrived in time and instead found the corpses of the other six Sword Saints, he would likely have regretted it for the rest of his life!

"Liu Feng...you absolutely must not die."

Yun couldn't help but worry about the current state of her only confidant in the world.

Luo Mei, standing beside him, wasn't surprised to see the clouds like this. Although the "Ten Great Sword Saints" were constantly fighting each other due to their positions, schools of thought, and rankings, their relationships with each other weren't actually that bad.

After all, the ten "holy swords" were all crafted by the same swordsmith, making them like brothers and sisters. As their users, the "Ten Sword Saints" naturally had a good relationship.

The ten "holy swords," the only "divine sword," and even the "murderous weapon" were all crafted by the same swordsmith. This fratricide at this moment seems all the more ironic.

While Luo Mei and Yun were flying towards Huangjian City on giant red-crowned cranes, Xianju and "Black Feather" were also rushing to Huangjian City in their own ways. But it seemed that none of them were fast enough.

The monstrous weapon is destined to be born! And it is destined to defeat all ten "Sword Saints" and sever ten "Holy Swords"!

"'The Ten Holy Swords'? Hahaha! Useless, you are destined to become its bait! Just like the 'Divine Sword' back then! ... Swordsman from another land, didn't you want to know why I insisted on a sword duel with you? Now, I'll tell you. That's right, there is only one thing needed to break the seal on this cursed weapon. That is, the blood of the swordsman from another land!"

The "Smiling Fox" finally told him the reason why he had been pestering Kong.

The reason "Smiling Fox" could speak so freely with Kong was because the "Sword Saints" were all busy calming the out-of-control Holy Sword and couldn't free their hands. The other swordsmen, unable to withstand the suppression of the aura of all six Holy Swords, were completely immobilized.

"However, obtaining my blood will probably not be an easy task for you!"

Sora was a little dizzy from the sudden turn of events. Especially after discovering that each of these so-called "holy swords" possessed the magical power reserves of an S-class mage.

Kong had some knowledge of magical weapons, knowing how rare a magical weapon possessing the magical power of an S-rank mage, a soul, and its own unique magic was. He never expected to find six of them here at once!

"If we could capture them all and give them to Elsa, would Elsa become invincible?" For a moment, this thought popped into Sora's mind.

Of course, he was only thinking about it.

Six high-level magical weapons appeared together, yet they still felt uneasy facing the object in "Smiling Fox's" hand. Just how dangerous was that object in "Smiling Fox's" hand?

Kong slightly wanted to leave, taking Lisanna with him, and not get involved in the mess in the "Hometown of Warriors".

Upon hearing keywords like "Sword God" and "Divine Sword," which are related to the legends of the highest level of the "Hometown of Warriors," Kong already had the idea of ​​leaving this place as soon as possible.

Because, generally speaking, the appearance of these keywords in a game means that the main storyline is being triggered and the final boss will appear.

Sora has been an S-class mage for less than half a year and doesn't want to develop feelings for the highest boss of the "Hometown of Warriors" yet.

Just as Sora was tentatively trying to find an opportunity to take Lisanna away, the "Smiling Fox" also looked at Lisanna. Instantly, Sora's expression turned ugly!

"Ah, you've already noticed... That's right, as long as it's the blood of a foreign swordsman, it doesn't matter whose it is! Otherwise, why do you think I would have deliberately arranged the auction of foreign swordsman slaves just to find a witness?... The ultimate technique, man and sword as one!!"

The Smiling Fox once again used the ultimate technique of "Man and Sword as One," but this time, his target was Lisanna, who was next to Sacred Heart!

Almost instinctively, Sacred Heart pulled Lisanna behind him and stepped in front of her to shield her.

"Sacred Heart Lord!!"

The Sacred Heart's men couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"Sacred Heart!!"

The other sword saints couldn't help but exclaim in surprise upon seeing this. However, they were too far away and were restrained by their own holy swords, so they couldn't help Sacred Heart at all.

Just when everyone thought that Sacred Heart was about to be cleaved in two by the oncoming, fierce soldier wrapped in white cloth, another figure appeared in front of Sacred Heart!

He was also unarmed, but the instant the weapon made contact with his right hand, a violent burst of light erupted between them! Then, a massive, deep-sea-like space, like a bubble from a torpedo explosion, distorted and instantly enveloped the entire auction hall!

Apart from Kong, who stood in front of the murderous soldiers, everyone present was severely injured due to the sudden, large-scale spatial distortion!

The armor on Sacred Heart and Iron Eater's bodies was completely shattered!

Leaving aside the light armor on Sacred Heart, even the heavy armor on Iron Eater, which was said to be mixed with dragon scale powder and had excellent resistance to magic, was shattered!

And with the armor shattered, the sword was naturally not spared either!

Most of the swordsmen present had their beloved swords shattered. Only the Holy Sword and a few other famous swords among the "Hundred Swords" survived.

The scene was utterly horrific; almost everyone, friend or foe, was incapacitated. The psychological impact, of course, was even more devastating!

This was especially true for those who were obsessed with swords, such as the "Man and Sword as One," "Hundred Swords Style," and "Soul Sword Style." Many of them fainted on the spot, clearly indicating that the psychological trauma was far greater than the physical trauma.

It's hard to imagine that a single strike using a deadly weapon could produce such a terrifying effect!

Even more unimaginable is that that person was able to withstand that blow unscathed!

The swordsmen, still conscious, looked at the empty-handed, still figure standing there, filled with awe!

Kong was indeed unharmed. But his magic power was almost completely depleted. He was pale and covered in cold sweat!

The shattering magic on his body had always brought him various inconveniences, but its destructive power had never disappointed him... Superior-level destructive magic had never encountered anything it couldn't destroy. But just now, he had encountered one.

The "Void Garment" sensed a deadly threat from ahead and activated the "Shatter" spell at full power. However, it only managed to shred the white cloth that wrapped the deadly weapon (which was actually a powerful sealing magic item).

As a result, the seal on that thing was completely broken! Then, terrifying magic, capable of tearing space apart, instantly collided with the "Void Garment"!

The two sides remained deadlocked until the very end, when "Sky Robe" was the first to calculate that "if the magic is completely 'shattered', there won't be enough magic power."

Then, the "Sky Garment" employed a second plan, exploiting the opponent's crude manipulation of magic to unleash the largest spatial distortion in history, diverting the opponent's destructive power elsewhere!
