Chapter 588 588: Slaughter and Secondary Generation

Strong!

This man called Your Excellency Mercenary Tao, was very strong!

Aetoris quickly stood up, golden ripples dissipating from his body, and along with it, the pale bone spikes on his back also seemed to carry a bit of radiance.

He came in front of Seraphina, his figure completely unfolding, his tall body completely shielding the red-haired young girl behind him.

"Your Excellency Seraphina, I'm sorry, I'm late..."

He didn't explain much. Many monster-fied knights of the Choir had already approached.

Almost every one of them here, like the Ashen Knights, successfully resisted the early erosion of the Blood Potion. But for the sake of power, or for the world His Holiness Laurence wanted to reach, they willingly consumed massive amounts of Blood Potion.

A beastification completely exceeding the level of ordinary Hybrids, each one possessing strength close to a Secondary Generation.

Moreover... Aetoris knew very well that in the Choir, he wasn't the only Hybrid.

Seraphina looked at that person in the air, frowning almost immediately. The other party radiated undisguised arrogance.

That bearing, in her eyes, was even colder than His Holiness Laurence.

Before she could think, scarlet light lit up on the ground. As the secret art descended, Aetoris swept his tailbone, pushing Seraphina away, while he himself threw his body towards the Choir knight holding a staff.

Every step he took was extremely large. With the figure of a giant roughly five meters tall now, his arm swept horizontally. Aetoris leaped high, holding his sword with both hands, and slashed down fiercely.

Pfft!

Just as the blood light flashed, another twisted-figured Choir knight with only one arm had already appeared from under the ground. He grabbed an axe blade with his single arm, slashing directly towards Seraphina.

"Kill it."

A low male voice sounded. In the next moment, the female knight in dark armor and black sword had already raised her black longsword high. The axe blade of the beastified Choir knight, along with his neck, was directly severed.

The black-red sword light swept across the entire field like a laser.

Hum!

As if a huge fan shape swept across the air, the blazing magical energy radiated cruel killing intent.

Pfft pfft pfft pfft!

The giant had its legs severed, and most of the other Choir knights were also directly cut in half at the waist.

Only two people with agile figures quickly dodged.

And the dragon-man entirely clad in silver armor standing in front of Kaito Shirogane merely raised his hand. His whole body bloomed with intense blood color. Amidst knotted muscles, his whole body took on a bronze-like luster.

Clang!

Artoria's sweeping strike ultimately stopped in front of the dragon-man.

[Kotodama: Bronze Throne] shouldn't have possessed such strong defensive power originally. Kaito Shirogane looked up and glanced at the vortex in the sky whose bronze luster had already been completely revealed.

He had an answer in his heart.

The [King of Bronze and Fire] was about to revive, and the power of his bloodline descendants actually all obtained varying degrees of enhancement at this time.

However...

"A descendant of the Dragon King, yet reduced to a servant of the Old Gods, ha~"

Kaito Shirogane landed on the ground, looking incomparably mockingly at this dragon-man whose physical body could already be considered powerful.

The other party's physical body, under the enhancement of the amplified Kotodama at this moment, had already surpassed ordinary Dragons. At the same time, the beastification produced after consuming an unknown amount of Blood Potion similarly massively evolved his flesh and blood.

Even if it was an irrational, disorderly erroneous evolution, within a sufficient magnitude, it still gave the person before him power surpassing most humans, Hybrids, and hunters in this world.

"Gilbert only just beastified, otherwise... you wouldn't have won against him so easily."

Ailis spoke. His figure was tall, and the scorching breath from his mouth liquefied upon meeting the air, appearing like white mist. After using [Bronze Throne] to enhance himself, inside his body right now was like a furnace.

Beneath the scales, his nerves and flesh were all bundled together. That pain of his reason being scorched made him feel he might completely lose control and become a true beast in the next instant.

But in contrast to that, was that power so strong it almost overflowed!

Ailis knew better than anyone the power of Gilbert. That was a swordmaster of France, obtaining the power to kill a large number of Hybrids with a purely human body.

Ailis firmly believed that if he could have undergone Blood Ministration a bit earlier, Gilbert wouldn't have been weaker than himself...

"Oh, it's almost as if you're saying you feel you are very strong... heh."

The man's speaking voice appeared from his ear. Ailis was startled. The figure in front of him dissipated like foam. A shudder he had never felt before rose from the last joint of his tailbone, instantly sweeping across his whole body.

He felt all the scales on his body tense up in an instant. The sound of muscles and joints vibrating appeared at every joint of his body like air pops.

His shoulder sank slightly, and a hand was placed on his shoulder.

Ailis's eyes widened round. In his golden slit pupils, tyranny overshadowed his final reason. He abruptly dropped his shoulder, attempting to shake off the other party's action of controlling his shoulder, while fiercely smashing an elbow towards behind him.

The air instantly liquefied before pure violence, like a caved-in water surface, smashing towards the other party's body.

Hum!

The instant the caved-in liquid air surface touched the other party's body, Ailis's fist swung up in a flash, and the air crashed and shattered.

Blazing white smoke clouds exploded like a meteorite hitting the ground, high heat and shockwaves sweeping hundreds of meters in radius.

The force of this punch, no member within the Choir could take. Ailis slowly turned around, but in the next moment, a slender hand extended from the blazing white high-temperature mist, directly covering his face.

A frivolous male voice also transmitted from within.

"What, is it over already, little dragon-man~"

In the next moment, powerful force erupted from that hand. Ailis almost in an instant felt his skull creaking.

The other party's physical strength was completely not inferior to his own. No, the other party's force was drilling into his body in a bizarre form.

Intense pain struck. Ailis's right hand immediately grabbed that uniquely shaped greatsword from his back, slashing towards Kaito Shirogane with one hand.

Clang!

One sword slash down, an inexplicably twisted force field instantly deflected his sword, slashing straight into the ground.

And Kaito Shirogane, however, had lost interest in this knight who combined Hybrid and beastified power in one body.

Although the other party's basic physical strength and Constitution were similar to his own, the absolute gap in the control of power and technique allowed Kaito Shirogane to easily defeat the other party even without using any abilities.

A martial artist was inherently the strengthening most adept at singling out humanoid enemies, let alone an enemy with this kind of deformed flesh and blood evolution.

Ailis raised his sword again, but a force acted on his wrist a step ahead.

Crack!

Intense force was released and withdrawn instantly, completely condensed at one point, which directly shattered even his dragon-man bones.

Kaito Shirogane raised his right hand horizontally in front of him, covered in pitch-black Armament Haki. In the next moment, lightning-fast three consecutive slashes landed accurately on the dragon-man's neck.

Clack!

Bang!

Pfft!

The pitch-black luster flashed and faded. A head tumbled and flew up. As the dragon-man fell, before that greatsword could land, it was casually picked up by Kaito Shirogane.

[You obtained Item · Ludwig's Holy Blade (Incomparably Rare)]

Kaito Shirogane merely took a glance. This sword was a special combination of a one-handed sword and a heavy sword. It could be drawn as a one-handed sword to attack, and similarly could utilize the scabbard-like heavy sword for heavy slashes.

To a certain extent, this sword had a certain connection with that [Black Sword · Dragon Slayer] in his backpack.

Kaito Shirogane raised his head and happened to see Artoria pull her sword out from that giant's head. The two had almost completely destroyed the Choir like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.

Aetoris had also slain a Choir knight. At this time, he was bathed in blood all over, but with an excited smile on his face. He stood up, about to speak, but saw that whether it was Your Excellency Mercenary Tao or that powerful female knight.

Both didn't say a word, merely looking behind him.

Seraphina even revealed a terrified expression.

In her gaze, a silver-haired, tall woman stood behind Aetoris. Two huge wings on her back, after spreading, almost covered nearly a hundred meters of space.

A Dragon!

A living Dragon!

Pfft!

In the next moment, one of the woman's hands directly pierced through Aetoris's chest. She casually threw this Choir-level Hybrid aside like scrap material, smashing onto the ground, blood spurting out.

"Humans, hand over that woman. Do not put up meaningless resistance."

Seraphina's face paled. Looking for me again. She didn't understand what exactly happened, but still immediately ran towards the twitching Aetoris.

She placed her previously cut wrist in front of Aetoris's chest, blood dripping into his nearly completely torn apart chest.

The silver-haired woman looked in puzzlement at this heterogeneous woman capable of deciding the direction of the world, not understanding what she was doing saving that kind of meaningless mixed blood at a time like this.

A Hybrid of that level, whether alive or dead, was completely useless to the world.

With a flap of her wings, the woman appeared in front of Seraphina as if teleporting. She reached out her hand to grab the red-haired young girl's neck.

But in the next moment, a hand pinched her wrist.

The woman raised her head and saw a pair of indifferent eyes.

"Who allowed you to lay hands on my things?"

The woman frowned, watching her hand actually being touched by a human. Anger appeared bit by bit. She subsequently opened her mouth, and flames instantly surged out.

Kaito Shirogane similarly opened his mouth, lightning bursting from within his body.

Artoria smoothly blocked in front of Seraphina and Aetoris.

[World-Shocking Thunder Roar]!

"Ha!"

Heaven and earth abruptly lit up, followed by a terrifying explosion submerging everything.
