Chapter 395
Captain John's eyes were as sharp as the edge of his own blade.
"Sword Art-Continuous Slash!»
At that moment, he released the momentum of a Great Swordmaster, as if any movement of his sharpest blade could easily split the sea in two.
Phew!
His blade blurred, creating about a dozen afterimages.
A large number of huge slashes instantly intertwined in the air, forming a dense network.
This network of slashes rushed towards Yeruashi, intending to cut him into many small pieces.
Faced with this attack, Yeruashi calmly and unperturbed stood in place, carefully watching Captain John's every move with a sky-blue glow in his pupils, and then made the exact same move.
"The sword Art is A Continuous Cut.»
The movement of Yeruashi's blade was exactly the same as that of Captain John's.
But the difference is that Yeruashi was much faster, and his blade left more afterimages, creating a denser network of slashes!
Boom!!!
The two slash nets clattered together in midair, tearing each other into many small pieces.
It seemed that the colliding attacks were about the same in area, but the Yeruashi slash network was noticeably denser, so after a loud collision, a large number of residual slashes flew in the direction of Captain John.
"How can this be?..»
Captain John's eyes filled with disbelief.
This was his technique!
How can a Traveler use exactly the same technique?!
Moreover...
His attack was noticeably more powerful!
Phew! Phew! Phew!!!
A moment earlier, Captain John had used a powerful ranged attack and was simply not ready to defend himself, in addition to being stunned, which caused him to react belatedly and not have time to envelop his entire body with the will of the weapon.
Seven or eight bloody slashes appeared on his body!
Although these cuts were not too deep, a large amount of blood was spilled from them, which made Captain John's appearance look terrible, as if he had been severely injured by this Yeruashi attack.
"Captain John!!»
John's heavily wounded Pirates, who were watching this battle from the sidelines, exclaimed in concern.
The pain caused Captain John to instantly calm down and concentrate.
He gritted his teeth as he stared at the Yeruashi in the sky.
Coincidence!
Just a coincidence!!
Captain John had convinced himself that he would not be overwhelmed by the sheer strength of the Traveler, for there was nothing in front of him, as a great swordsman standing on top of this sea, that he could not cut with his blade!
Great Sword Masters have always been extremely dangerous opponents.
It is extremely difficult to compare the level of strength of the Great Sword Masters, Admirals, and Soldiers, because the essence of the strength of each of them is completely different.
Sword masters tend to drop their defenses, focusing entirely on the attack!
The position of a Great Sword Master in the course of a battle can be extremely deplorable, but in a battle of life and death, he is able to put his life on the line at any time!
Often, a Great Sword Master needs only one precise attack to decide the outcome of a battle!
No matter how severe the Great Sword Master's injuries are, even if they are fatal, as long as the master's hand is able to firmly grip the hilt of his blade, he can unleash his strongest attack at any time!
So the injuries don't matter, and it doesn't matter if they overwhelm him as the battle progresses, because as long as he's alive, you can reverse everything with one precise swing of the blade!
"Sword Art-Star Slash!»
Captain John exclaimed furiously and swung his blade sharply.
John's long hair fluttered in the wind, and the air in front of him was like shining stars.
A huge cross-shaped slash sliced through the air, rushing towards Yeruashi with great speed.
But.
Faced with this attack from Captain John, Yeruashi made the exact same move, only faster and more powerful!
"Sword Art-Star Cut.»
A cross-shaped slash of even larger size appeared in front of Yeruashi.
Boom!
The cross-shaped slashes violently collided in midair, causing the sea around them to rage.
A look of shock passed through Captain John's eyes as he watched the scene intently.
"How is this possible?!»
The previous encounter could be called a coincidence, because two different swordsmen can wield a similar sword art, but it can't be the same in everything, especially in the case of a technique like star slash!
Phew!!!
The two cross-shaped slashes confronted each other, making crackling sounds, but after a few moments, Yeruashi's slash pushed back and destroyed Captain John's slash.
A cold sweat broke out on Captain John's forehead, but it was not because of fear, but because of his inability to understand what was happening.
Phew!
Captain John abruptly jumped to the side, dodging Yeruashi's cross slash.
A large slash hit the surface of the sea, creating a huge cruciform chasm several hundred meters long.
Captain John, who had jumped into the air, gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, about to launch another attack, but this time Yeruashi attacked before him!!
"Sword Art-The Blade of a Shooting Star!»
The blade of Yeruashi's sword fell down from above in Captain John's direction like a shooting star.
Captain John exclaimed indignantly, " How is this possible?!»
Not only was it John's technique, but he had just jumped on purpose, intending to attack the opponent with it from top to bottom!
But Yeruashi beat John to it, using the same technique as he started his jump!
This is impossible!
This just can't be happening!!
As one of the strongest people in this sea, he had certainly met people who had developed the will to observe to the peak, which allowed them to see into the future.
Therefore, there was nothing too surprising about the opponent's ability to predict his movement in advance, but in the blink of an eye, it was simply impossible to apply the same sword technique...
Even if the Traveler saw his attack by looking into the future for a few seconds, he would not be able to study it in such a short time...
This is definitely not something that a human can be capable of!
Since Yeruashi was acting ahead of the curve, Captain John didn't even have time to use his shooting star blade.
Instead, he was forced to simply raise the blade in front of him in an attempt to block Yeruashi's attack.
Klang!!
Yeruashi's blade slammed into Captain John's.
Captain John's blade, wrapped in the dense will of the armament, curved like a bowstring under Yeruashi's descending blade.
At this moment, it seemed that Yeruashi's blade possessed a terrifying and irresistible momentum.
Boom!!
The moment Yeruashi's blade bent Captain John's blade to the limit, coming close to his body, Captain John could no longer continue to hold back this momentum and flew down like a cannonball.
"Ahem...»
Captain John coughed, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
This was due to the fact that the will of a high-level weapon capable of inflicting internal damage was put into Yeruashi's strike!
"The future is like a constantly branching river.»
"The further you try to look, the more ramifications there will be and the harder it will be to see them.»
"But it's easy to understand the near future.»
Yeruashi floated in the air with a blade in his hand, looking at Captain John below with an indifferent expression, " I have already fully learned your sword art.»
At the same time, he slowly raised the blade in front of him.
The blade emitted a pale white glow, creating a myriad of afterimages, and then with that, the myriad swords gathered into one and rushed towards Captain John's head, emitting a bright white glow.
It was Captain John's strongest move.
One-Man Style — Myriads Of Stars!
"This...»
Captain John's gaze became sluggish.
He fell into a trance for a while, watching Yeruashi use his strongest sword art, which had taken many years to create.
Captain John came to his senses and reacted only when his body was illuminated by a bright white glow.
The end!
It was too late to prepare any strong move to counter this attack, he only had to roughly swing the blade, using the will of the weapon to the maximum.
Captain John, who had repeated this move countless times, was more aware of its power than anyone else.
Although the Traveler is slightly inferior to him in the skill of the sword, but it is much superior in terms of pure strength, speed and will of the weapon.
So this move performed by the Traveler, will be at least no weaker than in his own performance!
Captain John of course determined in the blink of an eye whether he could block his own sword technique.
The answer was...
No chance!!
If he hadn't hesitated at the beginning, there might have been a chance...but it's all over now.
Buzzing!!!
The white glow hid Captain John's figure, illuminating the sea around him.
When it faded, all that remained of the sea was a deep, level chasm that stretched to the end of the field of view.
In this chasm, the sea floor was visible, cut to an unknown depth.
