Chapter 765 - The Sword Saint And The Grim Reaper (Part 4) (2/2)

After that, he disappeared within the shadows of the night once again and resumed doing his job.

...…

In the meantime, Shin and Zero were traveling across the woods of the Sky Deceiving Valley with insane speed as they tried to distance themselves away from the Foggy Village.

They also took a couple of clever turns to make sure that those scouts would not be able to track them in a short period of time.

A few moments later, the two of them arrived in front of a waterfall. The sound of the falling water was so loud that it could rival the sound of explosions.

”This place should be good enough,” said Zero as he stopped all of a sudden.

Shin, who was following behind him, also stopped his tracks and slightly nodded his head. ”Not a bad spot I guess.”

The two of them were barely able to hear the words of each other due to how loud the waterfall was. But given their senses, communicating with each other shouldn't be a problem.

Zero swept his gaze on their surroundings for another time to make sure that no one was able to tail them here.

After that, he turned his head back to Shin before asking. ”Should we start for real, this time?”

Shin didn't immediately reply at him as he took at the status of their duel first. ”What a clever guy, so that is the real reason why he didn't set any timer in the duel in the first place.”

With a deep breath, he turned his head at Zero once again before nodding his head. ”I guess I should take this seriously since you help me with my style.”

He then took a brief pause before changing the equipment set that he was wearing to the improved version of the [Dawn and Dusk Equipment Set].

The [Yamato] also disappeared as it was replaced by a pair of sabers while the [Dawn's Mantle] turned into the [Nightwalker's Cloak].

”Since you are seeking to sharpen your sword by borrowing my strength, then let me warn you to take this seriously as well,” he said before taking a stance where he stood up straight while positioning his sabers on each of his sides, pointing them on the ground.

Immediately after that, each saber suddenly released a faint glow with different properties. The [Dawn Blade] was releasing a warm light with the form of white flame while the [Dusk Blade] had a dark glow that was carrying an aura as cold as the abyss.

Shin still couldn't use his Elemental Possession due to the unbalanced elemental mana of the Sky Deceiving Valley, but he could at least use his most powerful combat technique to show Zero what he was capable of.

Seeing that the air surrounding Shin changed all of a sudden, Zero couldn't help but grin from ear to ear as he could feel a real threat coming from this person.

”It is the same feeling that I feel back then,” he muttered before swapping his silver swords with a double-edged sword that had a broader blade and a longer hilt.

He also couldn't use his Elemental Sword Manifestation due to the unique nature of the regions but he could also show Shin his real swordsmanship.

At the same time, a gust of wind started to rush towards Zero as if they were attracted by his sword. They also started revolving around that sword and formed a small tornado that covered it.

After that, he held his sword with both of his hands and positioned it horizontally in front of his chest. He then took a step forward and faced Shin sideways as his sword pointed forward.

Seeing his stance, Shin couldn't help but feel a strange feeling of familiarity from Zero. He was sure that he didn't know him on a personal level, but his senses were telling him that it was not the case.

Thump!

Then he suddenly felt a heavy beat within his chest as if it was telling himself something. At the same time, there was a flash of memory inside his head that made him frown his eyebrows.

Due to how fast the pictures flash inside his head, he didn't get a clear look at them. But in that brief moment, he saw a young kid wielding a sword in the same way as Zero.

He was quite confused but he immediately shook off that slight distraction at the back of his head before re-focusing in the duel.
