Subaru Natsuki, who returned from the new Three Kingdoms

One has a ruddy complexion!

One has fiery red hair!

The two equally arrogant figures gradually overlapped, and Natsuki Subaru's smile turned cold.

This arrogance!

Having identified this guy, if we absolutely had to find a counterpart in the Three Kingdoms period, it wouldn't be Xing Daorong, nor Xu Chu! It would be that guy who was hailed as invincible...

"Who are you?" Subaru Natsuki's gaze darkened, his words carrying a chilling undertone.

Reid spat to the side, his face full of displeasure, and said:

"Huh? I am who I am, the one who swings the bat! You tender little fish, can't you even understand human language? You ask me once and I have to ask you again? Did you get your head caught in a door, or are your ears full of alcohol? Remember this, I don't have time to say things a third time. If you ask me again, I'll pull your tongue out and clean your ears!"

Natsuki Subaru's gaze sharpened upon hearing this. What an arrogant guy!

You want to compete in arrogance, huh? You want to compete in the will to dominate, huh?

Okay, you're domineering, but I'll be even more domineering!

"Hahahahaha!"

Natsuki Subaru suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter, pointing at Red and saying to the people behind him:

"I think Frugal has really gone senile, sending a guy with a bat to guard the second floor!"

"what?"

Red's brows furrowed deeply, but his toothy smile didn't disappear; instead, it revealed an even more dangerous excitement.

"How dare you! You're just a nobody who can't even stand up straight! You dare to insult my lackey to my face?"

"Don't you know your bones are as hard as your mouth? I'll break them one by one later, then let's see if you'll still be laughing!"

"You madman! Every hero in the world trembles at the mere mention of my name!"

Natsuki Subaru took a step forward, meeting those sky-blue eyes head-on without flinching.

"How dare you stand in my way!"

"I think you'd better surrender as soon as possible! It's not shameful for the world to know you surrendered to the Lord of Rem~"

The veins on Reid's forehead bulged, and his arrogant smile became even more ferocious with anger.

Natsuki Subaru, however, did not stop.

His gaze fell on Red's waist, fixing on the bulging wine pouch.

Okay, he wants wine, and I want wine too!

"I see you have some wine on you, why don't you let me have a taste first?"

"Hey! You little punk, you've got guts!"

Red laughed in anger, revealing his full set of teeth as he beckoned to him with his finger.

"You want to pass the trial? Then hurry up and come challenge me!"

"I think you're the one who's really got guts. Whether you have the strength to be invincible is hard to say, but you certainly have the air of one!"

Natsuki Subaru tilted his head slightly, taking a moment to confirm that the starry night was still there.

He decisively reached out and drew the Sacred Sword from his waist.

Upon seeing the sword, Red's sky-blue eyes flickered slightly, but his arrogant smile remained unchanged.

"The sword is passable, but it's a pity it fell into the hands of some nobody. I hope you can be strong and not collapse to the ground crying after I hit you once!"

"I hate the heavens!"

Subaru Natsuki stomped on the grass beneath his feet, and his Sanctuary Sword aimed straight for Red's chest.

[Some settings regarding the first Sword Saint, Red Astrea.]

In the second trial, Red was able to unleash his full power because he was the complete soul of Red, recreated through the Book of the Dead.

However, after being devoured by Gluttony, although he was able to move freely, his strength was limited by the physical level of Gluttony, causing him to drop by a significant level.

Chapter 110: 105. The Sword of Benevolence...The Sword of Righteousness

Facing the oncoming sword.

Red didn't even bother to look at the sword in the stone that had fallen to the side, and casually pulled out the chopsticks from his waist.

Two thin pieces of wood snapped together between his fingers, precisely catching the oncoming sword blade.

Red grinned, showing off his white teeth, but his feet remained rooted to the spot.

"You've got some guts, you little punk! Fine! As long as I make you move an inch, you win this trial!"

"You audacious madman! How dare you be so arrogant! You've gone too far in bullying me!"

Natsuki Subaru roared, and the way he looked at Red changed.

Even though Red is a head taller than Natsuki Subaru, Natsuki Subaru's eyes are slightly open, and his gaze seems to be looking down on him.

Natsuki Subaru twisted his wrist and changed his move, sliding the sword blade down along the chopsticks.

After breaking free, Subaru's next sword swiftly pierced Red's throat from the side.

Reid used only two chopsticks to nimbly flip up and down, each time landing in the path of the Sacred Sword and firmly clamping it between them.

Subaru Natsuki continues his relentless attack!

The Hate Heaven Sword Technique is faster and faster with each move.

Sword light flashed around the red-haired man, scattering the grass beneath his feet in the aftershocks, yet his feet remained rooted to the spot, and he even had the leisure to tilt his head back and yawn.

"Is that all? Your skills and your stubbornness are completely disproportionate!"

"If you're going to be a nobody, you should be prepared to be one! You little brat!"

Every arrogant word made the image of the red-faced, haughty figure in Subaru Natsuki's mind even clearer.

The hatred intensified as a result!

Natsuki Subaru gripped his sword tighter and tighter, all the hatred accumulating in his chest fueling the blade.

hatred!

day!

Subaru Natsuki's swordsmanship suddenly surged to a new level, and the sound of each strike cutting through the air made the people behind him jump with fear.

"Not enough, not enough, not enough!"

As Subaru Natsuki's sword speed increased, Red's chopsticks also sped up.

It was like an airtight protective net, able to firmly trap Subaru Natsuki no matter which direction he attacked from, whether by stabbing, slashing, or prying.

Coupled with the smile on his face, this was clearly—

An old man teases a mischievous child!

If it were an ordinary knight with high moral character and unwavering principles, he would probably have lost his composure long ago due to the repeated humiliations and his relentless attacks.

But he happened to encounter Subaru Natsuki, and he encountered the Heaven-Hating Sword Technique.

Humiliation will only make Subaru Natsuki feel even more hopeless.

Anger only fuels the hatred on his sword!

In this way, the clash between the two entered a virtuous cycle.

The faster Subaru Natsuki goes, the more power Red uses.

The faster Red goes, the faster Subaru goes.

"You little brat! You're really annoying!"

Originally arrogant, Reid felt Natsuki Subaru's increasingly rapid sword movements and revealed an expression as if he were being swarmed by flies.

But Natsuki Subaru didn't have time to pay attention to him, because as he swung his sword, he felt that same feeling again!

That feeling he had when he fought Wilhelm!

Natsuki Subaru seemed to have once again touched something hidden at the end of hatred.

It is the threshold of the Heaven-Hating Sword.

The red-haired man in front of him seemed to share some common trait with Wilhelm, which allowed him to unleash the full potential of his Heaven-Hating Sword.

Just one step away.

Subaru Natsuki's gaze was sharp!

We were just one step away from there!

But this one step, though seemingly short, is actually farther than the previous ninety-nine steps...

"Humph."

Red noticed the change in Subaru Natsuki's sword, and the corners of his grin turned down slightly.

The next moment, he suddenly attacked Subaru Natsuki with his left hand, which had been tucked into his waistband.

As he forced Subaru Natsuki back, he then grabbed the two long chopsticks with both hands and raised them high above his head.

"It's starting to look somewhat decent. But it's still just small fry. Open your eyes wide and watch carefully, this is how you should swing the sword!"

The chopsticks are used to chop down from top to bottom.

In that instant, two ordinary thin pieces of wood burst forth with dazzling sword light.

It's like someone is releasing an ex-curry stick.

The light, seemingly capable of cutting through everything, was firmly locked onto the top of Subaru Natsuki's head.

"Subaru, watch out!"

"father!"

Elsa and Clarissa both gasped in surprise.

Capela was faster.

She lunged at Subaru's side, her hands swelling and twisting as she went, transforming into two lion heads with gaping maws, biting at Red from the left and right.

Red didn't even blink before sweeping his foot across the ground.

The two lions were kicked backward by his flip-flops and broke off, sending Capela flying along with them.

The sword light also fell completely at that moment.

This was supposed to be an attack that was completely unavoidable, and one that Red was confident he could knock the man in front of him unconscious!

But just as he enveloped Subaru Natsuki, his extremely strong combat instincts made him pause for a moment.

Just now... he seemed to suddenly see a...

Starlight?

Red abruptly stopped! Just as expected.

There was nothing left beneath the dissipated sword light!

Faced with an attack that was simply impossible to withstand, Natsuki Subaru, who already had experience fighting the Sword Demon before, did not risk his life to see if he could reach the limit of the Heavenly Sword.

Instead, he immediately activated [Starry Night], dodging the attack while instantly circling behind Red.

The Holy Sword pierced past his waist, aiming straight for the red-haired man's back.

What Natsuki Subaru didn't expect was...

The red-haired man actually turned his head.

Although it was somewhat of a stretch, but...

That man, he followed Xingye!

As Red turned around, he didn't even use his eyes to look; he simply relied on his senses to hold the chopsticks horizontally in front of his chest, steadily blocking the blade.

clang!

A metallic clang rang out between the sword's edge and the thin wood.

The sword's edge wasn't completely blocked by the chopsticks; it grazed Red's chest, severing a strand of red hair at the end.
