Birth of the Demonic Sword

Chapter 2350. Sword

The offensive didn't leave time for shock or other emotions. The group was sticking to a vague rhythm to coordinate their attacks, so the appearance of the crack and the destruction of the landmass didn't slow down the assault.

Alexander and June teleported under the crack, and King Elbas immediately joined them. The three unleashed part of their power when they prepared their respective attacks, and the pressure accumulated in the area almost threatened to hinder the process.

The three experts released so much energy that the crack expanded even before their attacks arrived. Thick sparks shot out of June, dense flares left Alexander, and scorching flames enveloped King Elbas. The three seemed on the verge of killing each other due to that passive influence, but they were strong enough to endure the pressure.

June was the first to attack. She lifted her head to stare at the crack, and the entirety of her body turned into a blinding orange spot that unleashed a chaotic mass of lightning bolts.

The lightning bolts didn't have any specific form. June couldn't condense them into a single technique, but she didn't want to lower their overall power, so she simply discharged everything she had accumulated.

Making that immense power stick to a single direction brought June's body close to its structural limits, but she didn't care. The crackling band-aids shattered, her injuries expanded, and holes opened on her skin as more lightning bolts came out of her. Yet, she remained still to send everything toward the crack.

The explosion that followed the impact with the sky pushed almost everyone away. The Eternal Snake and the Foolery ended up on the nearby ice, and Sword Saint felt the need to perform an evasive maneuver to avoid the shockwave.

Wilfred had to call upon the entirety of his strength to hold the ram in its place. His body remained defenseless before the shockwave, and vast chunks of his skin disappeared under its assault and the scorching item.

Nevertheless, the ram didn't move, and Wilfred even forced his muscles to survive the assault. His figure transformed into a gory puppet made of bulging muscles and exposed flesh, but he continued to perform his task.

King Elbas had relied on a technique to survive the shockwave, while Alexander had used the immense power flowing through his body to remain in his position.

King Elbas shot a glance at Alexander once their turn arrived. The two didn't decide who had to go first, but quick calculations happened in King Elbas' mind and made him seize the initiative.

The vast and violent flames coming out of King Elbas' body condensed in his palm as soon as he lifted his arm. The rest of the fake quasi-rank 10 power flowing through his body and items also shot upward to fuse with the golden fire.

The crown melted, the robe disappeared, and familiar roars resounded from King Elbas' figure as he put everything he had in his palm. The unstable mass of golden light accumulated in his hand quickly expanded to create a blinding spear that didn't have clear edges.

The weapon appeared impossible to inspect due to the sheer heat around it. Even King Elbas suffered while wielding it since most of his fake quasi-rank 10 power had gone inside it. Yet, that didn't stop him from throwing it toward the crack.

The crack had actually disappeared. June's attack had left a bright orange mark on the void that hid part of the sky. Still, King Elbas had never lost track of that damaged spot, so his spear pierced the tainted area and reached its target easily.

The higher plane went still for a second. Everything became silent. Time seemed to stop flowing when the spear landed at the center of the crack.

That fake peace didn't last long. A circular and ethereal shockwave expanded from the crack, and a proper explosion soon followed it.

A heatwave that seemed able to melt any material in the world expanded from the crack and engulfed more than half of the higher plane. Part of the Eternal Snake's ice directly vanished and failed to reappear due to the incredibly high temperatures caused by King Elbas' offensive.

King Elbas had performed an evasive measure to avoid the aftermath of his attack. The Foolery and the Eternal Snake had also resorted to something similar due to the assault's danger.

The targeted area of the sky now only had Alexander, Wilfred, and the immense ram left. The item endured the heat since King Elbas had predicted a similar outcome, but Wilfred's condition had significantly worsened. The smoke from his scorched flesh hid his injuries, but it was clear that he wouldn't keep that up for much longer.

Alexander was in a similar condition. His skin could endure incredible attacks, but King Elbas belonged to the same amazing realm. The hybrid couldn't avoid suffering injuries.

Most of Alexander's skin had disappeared during the heatwave, but his insides had remained intact. Yet, that only revealed the true nature of the techniques summoned during his preparations.

Each strand of Alexander's muscles carried different colors and shook, following a unique rhythm. Experts would be able to hear countless types of cries if they listened closely. Various powers also flowed through that fabric. It seemed impossible that a single being could contain so many abilities, but Alexander went beyond that.

The countless abilities summoned by Alexander took the form of ethereal strands of energy when they left his body. His muscles withered during the process, but he continued to accumulate that fuel above him.

The strands of energy fused to create a multicolored vortex that condensed into an unstable black spot. The amount of power contained in that shape was simply unfathomable, but Alexander touched it to apply his superiority.

The unstable spot couldn't remain still when all its different aspects improved. The item shattered and unleashed a rainbow-colored pillar toward the crack.

A light that the higher plane had never witnessed illuminated the void. Countless shades painted the world and transformed the whole scenery. Still, the area targeted by Alexander remained too blinding to inspect.

Alexander didn't have any power left after unleashing his attack. The light that enveloped the world carried multiple destructive abilities, and his body welcomed them while it fell into the void.

Noah caught Alexander before he could leave the range of the higher plane and enveloped him with dark matter before throwing him away. Shafu materialized and ate Alexander before stepping aside.

Noah let the multicolored light fall on his body. Different techniques tried to alter and affect his fabric, but nothing pierced his innate defenses. Meanwhile, his reptilian eyes darted among the various floating boulders created by the destruction of the landmass.

'I did create a sword that pierced the sky,' Noah thought as he flew right under the crack, uncaring of the violent multicolored waves that had taken control of the area.

A presence eventually materialized inside his world. Shafu had finally returned, and its low growl triggered a chain reaction that made the insides of Noah's mind quite noisy.

'Yes, you are right,' Noah thought as he raised his bladeless arms above his head. 'It's time to turn me into that very sword.'
