Now that the tea has been drunk and the conversations held,
it's time for the thrilling battle.
On the sea surface!
Ye Xiao and Andre stood facing each other on the glistening sea.
Rias, Sona, and Andre, among others, continuously conjured a protective barrier with their magic to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
The scene was silent.
As a seagull flew by, a single white feather drifted down from the sky.
The moment the feather touched the sea surface—
Boom!
Both of them unleashed their full aura.
The once calm sea instantly became a raging tempest, and strong winds began to howl.
Their hair was also blown by the wind.
“So… so strong!”
“Indeed, just this aura alone is enough to make us breathless.”
“Is… is this the power of a Godslayer?”
“......”
The spectators squinted their eyes, buffeted by the strong winds. If this aura were to press down on them, they probably wouldn't last a few seconds.
The sky split into two colors, with both sides locked in a stalemate in the middle.
“Hahaha! My intuition was right! Ye Xiao, you truly are a great opponent!!”
Feeling Ye Xiao’s aura, Andre's fighting spirit was ignited.
His entire demeanor transformed from sunny and cheerful to arrogant and wild.
“The clash of auras is just an appetizer. Now, let’s try the main course! Get ready, Ye Xiao!!”
At this moment, Andre casually reached into the void.
An ordinary Western knight's sword was pulled out of the void.
Kiba looked at this very ordinary sword, and for some reason, his own demonic sword trembled.
The moment the blade was unsheathed,
that sword light, capable of cutting through anything, disturbed Kiba’s mind.
Even Rias and Sona, who had seen many treasures, couldn't help but praise it as a peerless sword at this moment.
But for Andre, as the Sword King,
this sword was just one of his ordinary swords.
“Come on! Ye Xiao, bring out your weapon and let’s have a joyous battle!!!”
Even before the fight began, Andre was already hyped up.
Andre, watching from the side, helplessly covered his face. His King was good in every way, except that he tended to get overexcited during battles.
“I don’t have a weapon, but that won’t hinder our fight,” Ye Xiao said with a helpless shrug and a slight smile.
After all, if he pulled out the Golden Sword now, he would already be at a disadvantage.
“Alright!”
Andre didn't dwell on it; instead, he warned, “Then, here I come!”
As his voice fell, a sonic boom resounded, and Andre's speed was like a rapidly falling meteor from the sky, instantly appearing before Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao, too, activated his Mangekyo to capture Andre's movements.
In an instant, Ye Xiao and Andre’s eyes met.
Both were somewhat surprised.
One didn't expect such speed, and the other didn't expect his own incredible speed to be captured.
But this did not hinder their battle.
The sword in Andre’s hand struck down without hesitation.
Facing his own kind, only a full-power effort showed respect.
An astonishing aura also burst forth from the sword, as if to cut down everything in its sight.
And Ye Xiao looked at the blade.
Should I cut his sharpness?
“Wind, become the sharp blade in my hand, to cut down everything in battle!”
Ye Xiao murmured inwardly.
Then, as he gripped his hand, a long sword formed from a hurricane instantly took shape, using the sharpness of wind to counter the keenness of the sword.
“Clang~”
A loud crash.
The two collided.
Immediately, a powerful force erupted, sending towering waves skyward and creating a raging tempest that surged in all directions.
“Hahaha, come on, let’s fight to our heart’s content!”
“Come on, unleash it all!”
Andre showed a hearty smile, but his movements didn't stop.
Ye Xiao also wore a confident smile, his wind-formed blade constantly swinging.
The clash of wind and sword.
Each exchange was accompanied by powerful air currents and dazzling light.
Their figures moved rapidly across the sea, sometimes leaping high, sometimes lunging forward, the battle growing increasingly fierce.
With the final collision,
both slid back several meters simultaneously.
They steadied themselves, their eyes filled with even stronger fighting intent.
“Andre, the warm-up is over. Come on, let the real battle begin!”
“Hahaha! As expected, we are both battle-hungry. Since it’s come to this, let’s both go all out!”
Andre raised his right hand high, gripping his knight’s sword.
“Oh, Silver Hand, by oath, transform into an invincible blade!”
As the divine words were spoken, Andre’s right hand began to change.
His raised right hand transformed from flesh and blood into a silver metallic hand, with a silver metallic texture encasing his entire right arm.
Immediately, even the knight’s sword in his hand turned silver.
This was the authority Andre usurped from the Celtic God King Nuada—the Silver Arm of Severance!
“Then, I’m coming too!”
Ye Xiao also raised his right hand high.
“Language is light, and the Word-Spirit is also light. Therefore, oh light, oh Word-Spirit, become my sword, my blade! Bring me victory!”
As the Word-Spirit was chanted, a golden blade, entirely golden, appeared in Ye Xiao’s hand.
This was the Tenth Incarnation of the God of War—the Warrior!
Andre looked at Ye Xiao with fervent eyes, and Ye Xiao likewise looked at him.
“I hereby swear! I will not allow anything I cannot cut to exist! This is the invincible blade that can cut through everything!”
“I am the strongest! The one who breaks through all obstacles! For glorious victory! Oh sword, cut down all obstacles before me!!”
As both of them chanted their Word-Spirits simultaneously,
they instantly vanished from their original positions.
The moment they disappeared, only an afterimage remained.
Immediately after, in everyone’s sight, two streaks of light intersected and collided like meteors.
Golden and silver lights intertwined and burst forth, the intense brilliance forcing everyone to close their eyes.
Each collision triggered deafening roars, as if to tear apart this heaven and earth.
The sea was impacted by this force like boiling water, with massive whirlpools constantly emerging.
“So… so strong!”
“Is this what a battle between Godslayers is like? How incredibly powerful!”
“The two Kings are being too reckless.”
Rias and the others struggled to maintain the protective barrier, their faces also turning very pale.
After all, they had moved so far away, yet they were still being affected.
But the two on the battlefield had no such concerns.
They continuously clashed with the sharp blades in their hands.
Clang~
Not good!
Ye Xiao’s eyes widened.
“Kamui!”
With Kamui, Ye Xiao barely managed to dodge Andre’s blade by using his intangibility.
The two pulled apart.
Ye Xiao looked at his bleeding abdomen and the Word-Spirit blade severed by Andre, feeling a bit helpless.
This guy in front of him really could cut through anything.
“Are you alright? Are you alright? Can you still go on?!”
