Chapter 393 - 395 (1/2)
Captain John's eyes were as sharp as the edge of his own blade.
”Sword Art-Continuous Slash!»
At that moment, he released the momentum of a Great Swordmaster, as if any movement of his sharpest blade could easily split the sea in two.
Phew!
His blade blurred, creating about a dozen afterimages.
A large number of huge slashes instantly intertwined in the air, forming a dense network.
This network of slashes rushed towards Yeruashi, intending to cut him into many small pieces.
Faced with this attack, Yeruashi calmly and unperturbed stood in place, carefully watching Captain John's every move with a sky-blue glow in his pupils, and then made the exact same move.
”The sword Art is A Continuous Cut.»
The movement of Yeruashi's blade was exactly the same as that of Captain John's.
But the difference is that Yeruashi was much faster, and his blade left more afterimages, creating a denser network of slashes!
The two slash nets clattered together in midair, tearing each other into many small pieces.
It seemed that the colliding attacks were about the same in area, but the Yeruashi slash network was noticeably denser, so after a loud collision, a large number of residual slashes flew in the direction of Captain John.
”How can this be?..»
Captain John's eyes filled with disbelief.
This was his technique!
How can a Traveler use exactly the same technique?!
Moreover...
His attack was noticeably more powerful!
Phew! Phew! Phew!!!
Seven or eight bloody slashes appeared on his body!
Although these cuts were not too deep, a large amount of blood was spilled from them, which made Captain John's appearance look terrible, as if he had been severely injured by this Yeruashi attack.
”Captain John!!»
John's heavily wounded Pirates, who were watching this battle from the sidelines, exclaimed in concern.
The pain caused Captain John to instantly calm down and concentrate.
He gritted his teeth as he stared at the Yeruashi in the sky.
Coincidence!
Just a coincidence!!
Captain John had convinced himself that he would not be overwhelmed by the sheer strength of the Traveler, for there was nothing in front of him, as a great swordsman standing on top of this sea, that he could not cut with his blade!
It is extremely difficult to compare the level of strength of the Great Sword Masters, Admirals, and Soldiers, because the essence of the strength of each of them is completely different.
Sword masters tend to drop their defenses, focusing entirely on the attack!
The position of a Great Sword Master in the course of a battle can be extremely deplorable, but in a battle of life and death, he is able to put his life on the line at any time!
Often, a Great Sword Master needs only one precise attack to decide the outcome of a battle!
No matter how severe the Great Sword Master's injuries are, even if they are fatal, as long as the master's hand is able to firmly grip the hilt of his blade, he can unleash his strongest attack at any time!
So the injuries don't matter, and it doesn't matter if they overwhelm him as the battle progresses, because as long as he's alive, you can reverse everything with one precise swing of the blade!
”Sword Art-Star Slash!»
Captain John exclaimed furiously and swung his blade sharply.
John's long hair fluttered in the wind, and the air in front of him was like shining stars.
But.
Faced with this attack from Captain John, Yeruashi made the exact same move, only faster and more powerful!
”Sword Art-Star Cut.»
A cross-shaped slash of even larger size appeared in front of Yeruashi.
Boom!
The cross-shaped slashes violently collided in midair, causing the sea around them to rage.
A look of shock passed through Captain John's eyes as he watched the scene intently.
”How is this possible?!»
The previous encounter could be called a coincidence, because two different swordsmen can wield a similar sword art, but it can't be the same in everything, especially in the case of a technique like star slash!
The two cross-shaped slashes confronted each other, making crackling sounds, but after a few moments, Yeruashi's slash pushed back and destroyed Captain John's slash.
A cold sweat broke out on Captain John's forehead, but it was not because of fear, but because of his inability to understand what was happening.
Phew!
