"—!"
At the moment when Luo Zhen merged into the space and disappeared, Edwys's pupils suddenly shrank.
In his mind, the scene two years ago appeared extremely vividly.
That happened in a mountain range that was bombed into ruins.
Edwards was lying in the rubble, and stretched out his hand tremblingly towards the young man wearing a dark and gorgeous coat in front of him.
But in front of Edwys, the young man whose body was covered with small scars caused by slashes and who seemed to be bleeding all over his body suddenly smiled and turned around.
"Don't go!"
At that time, Edwines only had time to shout such a sentence.
However, the boy disappeared as if he had merged into the space.
All that's left is one sentence.
"Don't worry, we will meet again one day."
Such a sentence reached Edwys's ears and became the last words left by the young man.
Then, full of unwillingness, Edwines lost consciousness and fell into the darkness.
Recalling what happened at that time, the sword energy in Edwys surged like never before.
"Varied... !?"
"you... !?"
Shinguji Kurono and Nishikyo Neine's expressions changed drastically, and then they were engulfed by the terrifying sword energy that came towards them. They were like being attacked by a shocking storm, causing them to raise their hands and block them in front of them.
"Pfft...!" "Pfft...!" "Pfft...!"
The sharp sword energy swept across all directions, and with the sound of tearing slashes, the ground around Edwys was cut into cracks.
The world's strongest swordsman actually interfered with the material reality with just his invisible sword energy.
At this moment, Edwys finally showed all his strength.
"I won't let you leave again!"
In the detached and calm eyes, all the emotions turned into persistence, allowing Edwys to flash out without hesitation, like a strong wind, instantly rushing to the place where Luo Zhen disappeared.
Then, Edwys slashed out with his sword.
This sword is like running white thunder.
This sword is like a white meteor flashing past.
In the past, the extremely fast slashes from "Biyi" Edwys could leave sword marks in the space and create gaps in the vacuum.
However, in this moment, Edwys's slash with all his strength was once again sublimated above this realm.
"Pfft-!"
As a cracking sound sounded, the space where Luo Zhen's figure merged was actually cut open by a slash running past at high speed.
Yes.
The space was cut open.
That is neither a phenomenon achieved with the help of any ability, nor the result of using any force to achieve it, but a miracle caused by reaching the peak of technology that is enough to ascend to the divine realm.
It's as if science and magic are obviously opposite, but the things that can be done are always the same, but the process is different. In this moment, Edwys squandered the peak swordsmanship he had honed over a lifetime, and with one slash , achieving a miracle that is no different from a mystery.
And such a miracle was achieved by Edwys just to keep one person.
Under such circumstances, in the cut off space, a figure wearing a dark and gorgeous coat was about to emerge, swaying like a mirage again.
However...
"boom-!"
Just when the figure was about to sway and emerge, a terrifying magic power exploded from his body and rose up.
"Yu—!"
The next second, a loud cry like a horse's cry resounded.
Behind the figure wearing a gorgeous black coat, a huge two-horned war horse swayed out like a mirage.
“Buzz—!”
Between the two horns of the two-horned war horse, an astonishing vibration wave took shape, vibrating back and forth, and finally turned into a heroic shock wave, which expanded to the surroundings like a storm.
Natural disasters appeared at this moment.
“Rumble—!”
As the earth trembled and the mountains shook, a heroic shock wave passed by, and everything was destroyed.
The ground was blown away like pieces of paper.
The walls were crushed like pieces of wood.
Stairs, elevators, walkways, corridors, and the pillars supporting the entire building were also like extremely fragile wood chips, all of which were torn, damaged, and destroyed under the terrifying shock wave.
In such a terrifying storm-like shock wave, Edwys's figure was also blown away, and the distance between him and the dark figure swaying out of the cut off space quickly widened.
"...!"
Edwines shouted something, but unfortunately it was covered by the shock wave. He couldn't hear anything and was directly involved in the storm.
Shinguji Kurono and Nishikyo Neine were also ready to show off their magical powers, but they didn't even have time to do so. One by one, they were caught in the storm-like shock wave and disappeared.
“Bang—!”
The shopping mall located in the city center was completely shattered in the sudden storm like a paper toy with a loud explosion.
The shock wave continued to expand to the surrounding area, and finally turned into a spectacular column of air, rising into the sky.
"Yu—!"
The two-horned war horse looked up to the sky and screamed in the storm-like air column, like a ferocious beast that could come out to make a big fuss after a long absence. The sound was full of excitement and dissatisfaction.
Then, the two-horned war horse swayed and disappeared like a mirage.
At the same time, the figure wearing a dark and gorgeous coat also disappeared in the gradually repaired space.
Only the storm-like shock wave was left, still raging around.
... ... ... ...
I don’t know how much time passed before everything calmed down.
But where the shopping mall originally stood, there was nothing left except rubble and rubble.
The residents in the surrounding area gradually poked their heads out of the windows of the buildings as if they had been awakened, and began to make noises.
The sounds of vehicles are coming from far to near, constantly coming here.
Both Shinguji Kurono and Nishikyo Neon emerged from the ruins in extremely embarrassed condition. They looked at the shopping mall with nothing left in front of them and were suddenly speechless.
"...Have you left already? Those two people?"
Shinguji Kurono murmured in a low voice.
"Ah, she has already left. Not only "Tian Dong", but also "Bi Yi"'s sword energy has disappeared, and she has not felt her presence at all. She must have left directly after noticing that "Tian Dong" left. I’m here, but I don’t know if I’m still in this city or this country.”
Xijing Ningyin smiled bitterly and looked like she was sighing.
Even Nishikyo Neine was like this, so Shinguji Kurono could not hide his complicated emotions.
"Why on earth did those two people come here?"
"We should ask why appears here, right? And is just chasing him?"
"Then why did appear here?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
Shinguji Kurono and Nishikyo Neine were chatting wordlessly in the ruins, but the expressions on their faces were full of helplessness as if they wanted to sigh.
"I hope those two people won't show up again."
"Feel the same."
The two swordsmen, who ranked third in the Alliance, could only pray like this in the end.
And what the final result will be, only fate knows.
