Chapter 188: Way Of The Landers [5]

There were always those wild and unbelievable tales concerning everything in the world. But there was one particular story where everyone gathered together and agreed that it was true. The tale of the sword saint is known far and wide for his kindness and the depth of his knowledge concerning the blade. Some say he died whilst others tried to make new tales of the sword saint, but those who came to know of his existence said he was a beast

“Original technique; Gale blade, 1st form Ascending dive,” He starts his skirmishes with the remains of the guardians by sending their bodies afloat into the air. Their balance was lost yet his posture and movement remain, he looked like he was walking in the air

“Mask of offerings grant me the power of the dragons!!! Devour every soul that mask has currently in possession, and turn this body of mine into a vessel befitting of the power I seek. Harden my body, bestow your might, and lastly give me the power to manifest flames within my very breath,” Before he could ever fully release his technique the dragon disrupted his attack

[System: Your opponent has been granted the wrath of the dragon]

The masked player fully transforms whilst it dons a pair of wings that aided him in the battle against the former sword saint. Silas responded by controlling the winds and disrupting the use of its wings, this resulted in an unstable flight. Though his disruption opened the door for his allies when he was prioritize

“This is your end, you ignorant swordsman!!!” The rooster soared and descended from its position and attack him in the middle of the air. But his expertise wasn’t something that anyone could easily have penetrated with just a mere ambush from afar. He proves it to be true once he enters a sword stance that releases a wind pressure

“Gale blade, 2nd form Wind pressure release!!” The winds surrounding the two suddenly turned into fierce attacks that mimic the slash of his sword. It’s weaker than before but they weren’t mistaken that this was the technique that ended their brethren. Before the attacks could reach the surface of the rooster the ram uses its body as a shield. Not only did the ram manages to block his powerful attack by creating a shield, but Silas also found himself stunned by one of its skills

The lion and the hound greeted him by having both of their first thrust with most of their strength. He blocks this combined attack by making use of the wind pressure and shielding his body with his sword. Though he wasn’t able to fully avoid the powerful pressure created by their attack. The remaining force knocked him back to the ground which then created a crater and he was met with one of their surprises

Having him enter the ground, the stallion was able to gain the upper hand due to its incredible agility within its legs. The rat that road on its back became the one in charge of landing a fatal blow. This was hardly giving him any challenge until he was greeted by the cat who cast a world-bending spell in his area. He can no longer leave the ground floor before the effects of the player have been concluded

[System: Your body is being pressured!! If this keeps occurring your spirit merge will cease to exist. Your spiritual merge is acting like armor that protects the wielder from any kind of attack. As powerful as this ability may be, the player is currently being penalized for his participation. Because of that, your spiritual state has taken more than 26% worth of damage if it reaches 100% you’ll lose your merge]

“Silas, you need to attack!!! They’re going to pulverize you if this continues, don’t tell me you forgot that spirit merges duration has been halved. If you keep on receiving any kind of damage in your body, our merge we’ll get forcefully removed,” Sylph warned him about the dangers that might occur if he kept on the same strategy after he was sent to a trap. The speed of the stallion got faster and faster on the ground which made it nearly impossible for him to discern

’Sylph, rewrite the ability of Spirit merge, I can handle their attacks, alter the effects make it so it wouldn’t act as my armor,’

“Are you insane!! I can’t allow that to happen, aren’t you forgetting that I’ll be held responsible if something were to happen? I can’t risk my spiritual rank decreasing,”

’I’ll work something out with my deity, just do it I’ll even do you one favor no matter what it is. I don’t even care if it’s that one request that I mostly denied, I have a way to escape from this situation. Sylph… You just have to trust me in this particular battle, just give me full control over the merge and take away the effect,’

[System: You’ve been given full control over your spirit merge, the player can now exceed his limited output. The player has chosen to evoke a power that’ll endanger his life, the spirit allowed him to continue. Your power output has been changed from 10% – 35% this is the highest percentage that’s available in this trial. Any further increase will become a violation if you violate the rules you’ll face a fate worse than death]

“Armor release,” Silas changes his form from a fully protected merge back to his original form. Though the power lies dormant in his body, the only change was that his armor was no longer present. Instead of being weakened, he became faster than ever, and his slashes would even reach the attacks of his enemy

[System: The player Silas Landers has called off the use of spiritual protection inlaid by his contracted spirit. The power of the northern wind boreas changes from protection to a full-on attack. Your body has now been buffed! As long as you’re in the vicinity of boreas, the winds that you accumulate in your body will temporarily increase your stats]

His speed manages to keep up with the horse and he tried to bombard them with his wind which was blocked by the pig. Their other members came to join their scuffle whilst he was unable to escape to the air. The snake and the rooster attacked him in the front whilst the dragon from above and the others from his back. He was cornered by their coordination but they were far too nearsighted to know of his plans

“Wind pressure release,” His sword was preoccupied due to the guardian’s attack, but it was beneficial for him the most. He perfectly created an image for his enemy that he can only use his power with the help of his sword. He only used his abilities whilst he does a stance or a swing that came from his sword

This made them think he needed his weapon to manipulate and control the wind which was something that was deemed to be difficult. But Silas wasn’t an amateur when it came to the art of combat, he knows his way around a fight. He knows how to throw faints and even so often plays with the mind of his opponent, toying with their choice by showing what they wanted to see

But as soon as his left foot reaches the ground a surge of wind circulated from his sword and down to his feet. The pressure causes the nearby rubble to rise and so far as to cover every single corner he desired to reach. The smoke gave him a moment for his plans to make a turn for the better

“Gale blade, 3rd form Violent thrust!!!” His steps became faster whilst performing a stance that increases his speed. However, it causes him to lose control of his grip which he responded by releasing the pressure from his sword. Even though it wasn’t a clean kill, he was able to brutally injure a few of the guardians and some were devoured by his sword

The ram that takes the initiative and tanks for his time had his body torn in the middle of his abdomen. The pig had most of its limbs severed from its body yet it remained alive whilst he squeals in pain. Some of them lose an arm, the others a leg, and those who were lucky enough manage to only escape with a few cuts

“All of you are useless!!!?” The dragon opened its huge mouth whilst it aimed for their location and devours his allies in the process. The cat was no longer alive and the spell that restricted him was no longer present. He sees his only remaining enemy has transformed into a bigger version of its previous form

“Hahahahaha!! I’m all-powerful, there’s no way you can defeat me~ arghh!!! What’s happening,” The dragon falls from the air as soon as he reaches to strike Silas after his body was pressured by his attack

The dragon was confused, his wings didn’t have any sort of injuries, and his body was slowly failing. He felt like he was choked however he didn’t see any kind of irregularity this was completely out of the blue. Silas had a menacing smile and soon after he knows of his predicament

“A-Air…? Did you take away the air? My wings aren’t damaged and yet I can’t fly, my body is perfectly fine but I felt like dying!!? You took away the air!! How is that possible, you’re not even in a manifested state, bending the laws of the world is impossible!!?” The dragon curses him whilst he walks to get a closer look whilst he kept on smiling

“Correction, I can’t bend the laws of the world when im not even in a manifested state. I possess the power of the northern wind boreas, I can manipulate the wind as I please. There was no way that I can take away the wind as I command,” Silas answered the question of the dragon after she shattered its masked and his body was rid of its power

“Then why…? Why is it that you can do such a thing? This isn’t even possible!!?” The dragon was about to lose consciousness which made Silas pity him and gave him a supply of air

“This space where we currently reside is created by the authority of my deity. A space that’s not a part of the world where he reigns supreme, so to answer your question we’re currently not inside the world. This is something that I’ve learned from my brother-in-law, he told me about this theory. A limited space created by a deity is a space owned by a deity. Even if it’s a part of the world as long as the authority of a god is in play it naturally became a land of that god,” Silas drives his sword, and soon after the imprisonment disappeared without a single trace

The next time he opened his eyes he was being carried by Gaust and Esther was being assisted by Kyo min soo. Their battle was concluded and the final act was about to begin. The editor who’ll face the mystery concerning the mask as he progresses to reach the mysterious mask player known by many as Kitsune. The author who’s making his way to the captive allies of his side character to lure him to the grasp of the Bounty Hunter
