Chapter 170: Upheaval in the Pine Tree Garden
In the diht, the pine trees could be seen swaying softly as a gentle wind blew past Sila looked up into the sky, taking in the sights, as if the current situation had nothing to do with hi to pull himself out of the atmosphere so that he wouldn't make any noticeable ht now
”Who are you?! Co?”
Sila's eyes glea within the darkness of his hood He replied curtly, ”I don't care about pieces of trash like you Get out ofside's point of view, even though this man looked prideful and scary, he was still alone
Spotting an opening, a ant fool!”
Sila didn't even bother glancing behind hi him from the shadows
Suddenly, the ulfed in flames A coin-sized hole could be seen in his chest
”What?! What is happening?” the leader of the tea If you have no attachment to your lives anymore, then come, all of you,” Sila said softly
One of the men expressed their suspicions ”Was it Yizichan?”
Everybody in their tea was the fact that the er Could he display such poithout the? If that was the case, this man would be too scary
”Everyone, be careful This man is skilled in one way or another Use Auror For Sila It was the saainst hiher nu out of the encirclement would be harder
In addition, the players hit their weapons together, trying to disturb his concentration by creating loud noises The sound couldn't distract Sila's attention in the slightest, though, since he wasn't the one attacking Instead of his opponents,Zeref, as observing Sila in return
The a Sila more than the last time he faced these players Under theeon It seemed Montra's secret task force was ht More iroups that Montra had taken under his wings
Materialized swords hurtled toward Sila fro hi, he would obviously end up being cut into pieces
Sila unsheathed the sword hanging at his waist and leisurely lifted it up
Many players laughed They had trained with swords for almost their entire lives, so they could easily notice that not only was this pathetic use of the sword powerless, but also slow and too easy to read, like a child swinging a sword
However, their expressions changed as soon as the land shook, and pillars of flahat the display of power, Sila believed that this was Lookhin's doing
”W-What? Where are they couys! Continue with the formation!” The leader ordered, full of anxiety
Meanwhile, Sila sloung the sword to his left
Witnessing the sight, Zeref showed a slightly shocked expression and putSila's ly simple sword movement before
The fla rando the formation to be broken All of the players ended up in a state of chaos just trying their best to defend against the flying blades
”He is alone! Just do whatever you can to attack hi at Sila
Sila cal his way As for the sword that he had brandished just now, he planned to return it to the sheath However, since he atte and he wasn't that fa a sword, he round
'D-damn I messed it up' Sila panicked but he couldn't afford to let it show on his face How could the renowned Sword Prodigy screw up so a sword?
”He already put his sword down! Kill him!!”
The mistake had already beenthe script in his head He started using Stellar Wheel, relying on the pulling force to miraculously spin the sword around his wrist In addition, the rotating force created wind around hiround
In such a chaotic battlefield, some of the players were hit by unseen needles These were poisonous needles hidden under Franz's scales on top of her skin Under the storht, they couldn't see the needles at all As soon as a needle pierced skin, it would explode Though no players died, many of them fell victim to the needles and received injuries all over
Sebastian and his monster friends needed to act secretly, so they couldn't exert their full power As the opponents were Marquis Rank, if their attacks didn't hit the vital spots, none of them would die
In fact, it was decided beforehand that the Sword Prodigy wasn't supposed to use poison nor hidden weapons, so Franz had a difficult ti Sila If there wasn't such a limitation placed on her, she would have already killed the with Sila and Sebastian's requests As a gaet caught Thus, she allowed herself to use poison as long as she didn't get caught
Soon, the players began to notice that drinking potions didn't restore their health points More importantly, their wounds that should have easily closed with the help of energy reinforcement refused to close up and instead continued to bleed At this rate, their bodies would rapidly weaken and die
Confir that the storm of leaves had covered Zeref's vision, Sila atteh, he secretly used pulling power to prevent the sa sheathed echoed throughout the area, all of the eneround at the same time They were still conscious, but their bodies refused to move, as if bound by chains
For the record, it was Sebastian's doing By using a spell, Soul-Eroding Blood Fog, he turned blood into h their wounds and the air they breathed Even though this spell wasn't lethal, it was useful for torturing victims
Everyone fell on top of either their friends' bodies or pools of blood Only Zeref and Tee Noi were safe, despite being within range of the battlefield This de unleashed, which was the Sword Prodigy's pro behind his teacher, while Zeref fixed his eyes on Sila as if he wanted to see through the mask
Sila stopped his feet in front of Zeref His eyes glealow
”Who are you?” Zeref stated a question
”Who do you think I am?” Sila asked back He wanted Zeref to co to his revelation
Huy was tricky If one came up with the answer oneself, one would firmly believe that it was true However, if the saiven by others, the hu it or even doubt that it is true
Sila wanted Zeref to believe wholeheartedly in what he made him see
”At first, I wasn't confident Your swordplay differed a bit from what I had seen before, and your voice is not the sa at your eyes, I' twenty or so years ago,” replied Zeref
