Chapter 334: Sword Horizon (2) (1/2)

The dominoes are collapsing.

It continues to fall down one by one.

***

“Evade!”

Elune instinctively realized.

Everyone would die if she could not stop that sword demon.

The only one who could stop that sword demon here right now was she herself.

She reflexively shouted and drew her sword. She created a golden aura blade against the white aura blade that came rushing to swallow the Red Gate.

I must break it.

I must crush that aura blade with the leaves of the evening primrose in full bloom.

Swooooosh!

She jumped off the wall and fired it at the same time. When she swung her sword in the air and spread her aura, her aura blade that was like petals spread in all directions.

Babababababang!

It crashed, broke, and shattered.

The aura blade struck the Red Gate as it could not be completely blocked, and the collision of the aura blade and the magic barrier protecting the Red Gate caused a huge shockwave.

Bang!

A second shockwave exploded.

As soon as Elune landed on the ground, she hurriedly swung her sword to block the attack of First Sword.

It was a dazzlingly fast attack, which was expected from someone who was called the Sword Saint of Light in the past.

“Ugh!”

Elune swallowed a groan and desperately twisted the trajectory of the sword.

But First Sword did not allow it. When Elune twisted the trajectory of his sword with her long and thin sword, he immediately fixed its position and rained down attacks as quick as light again.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

His attacks were in extremely straight lines.

His attacks were so fast and powerful that it was like flashes of light.

Elune struggled to block First Sword’s attacks. Or to be exact, she was trying to get away from it.

Her swordsmanship were smooth and elegant.

Her sword was light and sharp rather than heavy and strong.

A smile spread across First Sword’s face.

He launched an even stronger offensive as if testing her sword, overpowering her light swordsmanship with his strength.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Whenever the white aura blade and golden aura blade collided, immense shockwaves spread in all directions.

Its power was so strong that the ground and the walls shook.

The earth was dug by the aura blades, and the people around them could only watch and not dare to intervene.

Elune liked the sword.

She liked wielding a sword more.

So she felt happy when she fought Jude.

She enjoyed the supreme pleasure of exchanging attacks with Valencia’s swordsmanship.

She felt like she was moving towards the horizon.

It seemed like the distant horizon was getting a little closer.

But her battle with First Sword was different.

‘It’s dark.’

She could not see ahead.

Every time she crossed swords with First Sword, her sight blurred. Rather, she felt like the road to the horizon was being blocked.

Sword demon.

Sword monster.

Elune’s feelings were not wrong.

The current First Sword became a top-ranking demonic human by uniting with a demon of Asmodeus, the overlord of lust, so he was different from the past.

He was a true sword demon.

A monster that devoured the path to the horizon.

“Haaa!”

She was currently just being eaten.

Elune shouted loudly and forced herself. She took a step and intensified her attacks. She did her best to instantly deflect the sword of First Sword.

Claclaclang!

As the speed was fast, the backlash was also great. The sword of First Sword was sent upwards in an instant, and the aura blades that crossed between the two also flew sideways and swept the surrounding area.

Elune clenched her teeth amidst the vibration and loud noises. She endured the pain that felt like her arm was going to snap, and poured out a splendid sword attack.

Evening Primrose Dance.

A ray of light to drive away the darkness that covered the road to the horizon.

It was beautiful.

It was a gorgeous and elegant sword dance.

But it did not work.

The sword of First Sword that flew off had suddenly fallen like lightning and broke the rhythm of the sword dance. Elune’s sword shook and the hand holding her sword was wounded as blood gushed out. Her knee was bent and her stance collapsed.

“Weak.”

First Sword’s eyes that had been filled with ecstasy had now turned cold.

Grand Sword Master Elune.

The elves’ strongest swordsman.

She was definitely strong.

She possessed swordsmanship worthy of a Grand Sword Master.

But she was weak.

Her swordsmanship was truly like a sword dance.

A dance.

A sword wielded for her own satisfaction.

A bright and pure sword that she swung as she enjoyed moving towards the horizon, different from the sword that swung to slash, harm, and kill others.

So it was weak.

Her sword did not have the ferocity of the Sword Saint of Wind’s sword.

It also did not have a heart of steel like the one Absolute Knight Galahad showed.

“I’ll eat you.”

And I’ll show you.

What a real sword is.

What a sword should be in the end.

Clang!

The sword of First Sword changed.

It was still a swift attack like light, but the essential part changed.

”Aaaah!”

Elune fought back desperately as she gripped her sword with her wounded hand.

But every time their swords crossed, Elune felt pain as if her entire body was being destroyed. When they crossed swords for the fourth time, she vomited up black blood.

The white aura emitted by First Sword bit Elune’s aura like a ferocious wolf. It crushed, smashed, and broke her, pushing her back mercilessly.

It was no longer a fight.

It was a one-sided fight.

Elune’s sword flew away. With her bloody palms drooping down, she knelt in her spot.

Her pained face was full of blood and tears.

“Elune-nim!”

“Save Elune-nim!”

The knights on the wall shouted. More than 10 elven knights jumped off the wall and rushed towards First Sword.

“NOOOOO!”

Elune reflexively screamed.

First Sword looked down at Elune and swung his sword.

A dozen elven knights attacked First Sword from all directions.

And light.

A white aura blade.

Slash!

There were no screams.

Not even a cry was heard.

A dozen elven knights lost their lives at the same time.

They could not even stand for a single moment in front of the fierce sword strike of light. They realized that they had been attacked only after their bodies were split in half, and died afterwards.

Red blood covered the area. It poured like rain and fell on Elune and the surroundings.

“Aaah… aaah…”

Elune burst into tears as blood and flesh covered her head. She tried to somehow get up and stop the sword demon.

But her arm did not move. She could not stand up as her legs were shaking.

“They’re coming again.”

First Sword said with a frown as he found it a little bothersome.

The knights jumped off the wall as the gate opened at the same time. The wizards also tried to launch a wave of attacks by chanting spells.

So First Sword swung his sword.

He was one step ahead of them, before the knights’ feet touched the ground, before the elves leaped out of the gate, and before the spells were completed and launched.

The Sword Saint of Light.

The owner of a sword that was faster than anyone else.

Slaaaash-!

His white aura blade covered the place.

The elven knights who jumped off the wall were split into two and fell to the ground. The spells the wizards were casting were instantly cut off. Because First Sword’s aura blade cut through the flow of magic itself.

The knights who had opened the gate and were about to rush out all fell and collapsed. Blood gushed out of their bodies that had split into dozens of pieces, turning the area around the gate red.

Spuuuurt-!

Blood poured out.

Flesh scattered.

Elune gasped and cried. She wanted to shout and tell them to give up on her and run away.

But First Sword did not allow it. Even though he had already lost interest, he had no intention of letting Elune go.

“Because there’s still a bit left.”

There was still a bit left to eat.

Moreover, her wailing presence was very effective.

The elves unconsciously knew that no matter how many soldiers there were at the Red Gate, they could not stop First Sword.

But they were not clearly aware of it.

The pitiful Grand Sword Master wailing in front of the fortress gate, and the death of the elves made a mess in their heads.

First Sword swung the whip around his waist and wrapped it around Elune’s neck. He was going to drag her around the Red Gate like a dog.

He would hunt the elves who could not give up on Elune.

He would turn the Red Gate into hell.

“Rhun Froud!”

At that very moment, a sharp cry caught the attention of First Sword.

First Sword turned his gaze to the familiar voice, and smiled without realizing it.

“Lucas.”

The child he watched the most in the Sälen Kingdom before Jude and Cordelia appeared.

A child whom he thought would someday be a food for him on his way to the horizon.

He was staring straight at First Sword. Despite witnessing the horrifying sword, he stood in a steady position and looked this way instead of trembling in fear.

First Sword became interested.

He did not care if Lucas was weaker than Elune. He thought he could be a step closer to the horizon with Lucas’ sword.

So First Sword smiled.

He noticed the sword cutting his whip, but let it slide.

A sharp whip sword cut his whip and freed Elune. At that moment, a swung chain wrapped around Elune’s body.

“EUAAAAA!”

It was Kajsa.

She pulled the chain to retrieve Elune, and Scarlet who had cut off the whip then hurried to leave her spot.

But it was impossible.

First Sword had seen her when she cut off his whip.

“You must be delicious.”

First Sword said as he looked at Scarlet.

He could tell as a swordsman.

Among those who were here now, the child in front of him was the best if only in terms of talent.

So First Sword swung his sword. Weakly at first.

But even that was too much for Scarlet.

“Gaaak!”

Scarlet made a gamble. She threw her body in line to the sword strike wielded by First Sword. It was to minimize the impact and leave her spot at the same time.

But it was wrong.

Such a shallow move did not work for First Sword. Due to the slightly changed sword strike, Scarlet crashed into the ground instead of being thrown away.

“Scarlet!”

Kajsa screamed and rushed forward. A blue light gleamed from her eyes as she awakened the blood of the divine creature.

Her power and speed were terrifying.

But First Sword was not interested in her.

She was a beast and not a swordswoman.

She was not helpful at all on his way to the horizon.
