Chapter 590 590: The Unsealing Mission of the Black Sword · Dragon Slayer

Orpheus's head smashed fiercely onto the ground and instantly bounced up. The soft grassland below was completely unable to withstand such a terrifying impact. In the next moment, the earth cracked and sprang up. The underground rock layers completely collapsed, turning into black debris flying in all directions.

With a hum, a transparent shockwave spread outwards.

Orpheus's golden pupils almost dissipated, her thinking completely stagnant. The pure force almost cracked her brain from the shock. Only in the next moment did the scale armor let out the crackling sound of shattering.

Kaito Shirogane felt the toughness of the giant dragon's physical body. It was like a special material; the passage of force through the giant dragon's scale armor, flesh, and bones consumed far more than other materials.

This caused the force that was enough for him to shatter the biological entity inside a tank through its armor to actually not kill this Secondary Generation giant dragon from the shock.

This kind of creature... Ha! Interesting, very interesting!

Kaito Shirogane let out a weird laugh and raised his hand again, opening his fist into a palm. Amidst the twisting spiral, the Rakshasa Palm, a technique from the Kengan Ashura world, had already been pushed to its peak by his monster-level physique.

During the spiral contraction, the force stirred the air. As the arm retracted, a spiral airflow was derived, moving like a miniature tornado following the trajectory of Kaito Shirogane's palm.

Orpheus's irises were bloodshot, and her brain also recovered a bit of consciousness from the chaos. It was as if somewhere in the unseen world, the roar of a monarch sounded in her brain.

Orpheus fiercely whipped her long tail again. With a bang, it shattered the air and smashed onto the back of the human who was about to attack.

Bang!

Kaito Shirogane completely didn't dodge or evade. Although after activating [Ruler of the World], his non-soul-side abilities similarly couldn't be executed, relying on his martial arts foundation that had entered the Peak of Technique realm, dodging wasn't a difficult task for him.

But Kaito Shirogane just wouldn't dodge.

With a bang, Kaito Shirogane's whole body shook. Blood mist instantly rose from his back. The Qilin Armor was intact, but many capillaries beneath the body surface were shattered. Amidst the intense stinging pain, Kaito Shirogane's mouth parted even wider.

This kind of pain, I haven't felt it in a long time.

Pain is also a kind of pleasure!

This level of stinging pain only made Kaito Shirogane feel more alive. That smell of blood made him feel the battle was even more stimulating.

Hum~

The air spiraled and roared. In the next moment, Kaito Shirogane's palm landed on the giant dragon's head.

Pfft!

As this palm fell, the spiral force clearly followed Kaito Shirogane's line of sight and drove into the top of the silver-white giant dragon's head. In the next moment, the scale armor and flesh twisted massively.

Pfft pfft pfft pfft...

Shattered scale armor and blood were directly squeezed and shot out by the spiral force, revealing the giant dragon's blood-red flesh, as well as the deeper white bones and blood vessels, where scorching hot dragon blood flowed.

"Just like this, continue, just this kind of flesh-to-flesh combat!"

Kaito Shirogane clenched his fist again and smashed down.

Bang!

The ground sank, and the giant dragon's figure trembled.

Orpheus's brain was in chaos. Countless past scenes appeared before her eyes. In the next moment, she actually seemed to clearly see the peak era of the Dragons, a glory she had never personally experienced.

Kaito Shirogane continuously smashed his fists down. He consciously controlled the [Myriad Manifestations Death Intent]. Whenever the Yellow Springs surged and the death intent briefly appeared, he dispersed the force and struck empty air in other directions.

That surging death intent was like a glacier about to burst its dam, madly accumulating within his body.

Kaito Shirogane was still hammering the giant dragon, but the other party no longer struck back.

Pfft!

Flesh and blood exploded. Scorching dragon blood rushed at his face. Kaito Shirogane finally stopped in disappointment. He saw countless illusory spirit bodies had already appeared around, in various bizarre and twisted shapes.

These spirit creatures had long crawled all over the giant dragon's body, constantly biting and gnawing.

"Secondary Generation, is ultimately only at this level..."

A flash of light in Kaito Shirogane's hand, and the pitch-black greatsword had already appeared. Now, his Armament Haki and physical attributes could completely dominate this sword with ease.

"Hu... man..."

The giant dragon's voice was elusive. Before Kaito Shirogane's raised sword fell, he heard this female dragon's voice as if it directly entered his cochlea.

That was probably some kind of instinctive control over sound and air vibration, able to achieve this level even when near death.

This extraordinary instinct was exactly a power humans did not possess.

Kaito Shirogane lowered his eyelids, preparing to listen to a dragon's last words.

"This... world, is the world of us Giant... Dragons..."

"On the day Our King returns to the world, all rebellious subjects... shall all die!"

Pfft!

The black sword fell. Pitch-black sword light flashed briefly. The huge dragon head was directly chopped off with a pfft. Dragon blood covered the black sword, and a peculiar power burst forth from it.

The bizarre black aura retreated slightly from the sword blade, revealing a mottled silver color.

[Black Sword · Dragon Slayer unlock progress updated. Current: Second Seal - Unlock Requirement · Blood of the Dragon King]

Kaito Shirogane was stunned. He looked at the black sword in his hand, his brows tightly furrowed. For a moment, he actually couldn't remember why he chose to bring out this black sword just now.

The blood of a mortal king must end with a sword. Logically speaking, he didn't believe this Secondary Generation was a Dragon King, so he wouldn't harbor the psychology of absolutely having to kill the other party with a sword.

And with his abilities, there were countless options to choose from to kill a Secondary Generation that had lost the ability to resist. Yet he just had to bring out this Black Sword · Dragon Slayer.

And coincidentally, the Black Sword · Dragon Slayer tainted with dragon blood met the condition for unsealing.

Kaito Shirogane looked at this greatsword of Guts. Because his ability values were insufficient previously, he chose an incomplete appraisal. But at this moment, lacking complete information, he still "coincidentally" obtained the condition to unseal this sword.

This feeling of being out of control made Kaito Shirogane thoroughly displeased in his heart.

Destiny, Causality... The names of multiple people flashed in his mind. For the time being, he wasn't sure whether this matter was the Abyssal God of the Berserk world lingering persistently, the entanglement of causality, or if that King of Destiny in the Space whom he hadn't met yet had interfered with him.

[You killed Orpheus Niflheim, obtained 7000 Dimensional Points]

[You obtained a Drop Card (Purple)]

Kaito Shirogane grabbed the purple card condensing in front of him. Only at this time did the Professor, who had been hiding in the air using the vehicle, dare to land.

He knew his own strength very well. Whether facing that Gilbert or the Choir later, he would be killed if he wasn't careful.

Therefore, after the battle began, he put on the [Invisibility Cloak] and hid.

At this time, the Professor's expression was solemn. He landed from the air, ignored everything else, pointed at the sky, and said:

"Look there, I have a very bad premonition. Your Excellency Mercenary Tao, I feel we need to get that thing as soon as possible, and then leave this sea area..."

In the sky, as the giant dragon Orpheus died, the dark clouds began to disperse, revealing a large swath of bronze-colored airspace in the sky.

In that patch of sky, it was as if a huge vortex had appeared. The sea of clouds was continuously drawn in, but contrary to common sense, that sea of clouds showed no signs of disappearing at all.

Instead, it kept repeating the process of being drawn in.

The Professor, familiar with the Dragon Raja worldview, knew very well that was probably the manifestation of time already being in disorder. The [King of Bronze and Fire] was probably going to revive in an unimaginably complete posture.

The time in that patch of sky had already been mastered.

He opened his hand, and several pieces of high-quality purple gemstone fragments were clearly visible.

He used his ability but didn't obtain overly specific information.

He only saw fierce flames burning the entire world, and a blood-colored giant standing tall above the ocean.

Kaito Shirogane didn't say a word. Because he clearly felt the trajectory of the power interfering with him, he was incomparably gloomy.

Tap, tap, tap.

Seraphina's face was pale. She was still trying to continue dripping blood into Aetoris's healing body, but in the next moment, she was lifted by a large hand.

"The Sephiroth is inside your body, right, Saint~"

The Professor was startled and immediately stepped forward. Relying on the information guidance obtained by his ability, his perception of the essence of energy was far less sensitive than Kaito Shirogane's.

He took out a gemstone again, but at this time the ability cooldown hadn't ended yet, so he had to wait a moment longer.

Kaito Shirogane pressed the pitch-black greatsword against the young girl's chest, but the red-haired young girl didn't show much expression of fear.

She merely shook her head in puzzlement.

"I don't know what you are talking about, but if you want to kill me, can you let me finish one last thing."

"I want to... purify the Holy City of Latina. I want those noble knights who voluntarily turned into beasts to fight against the Dragons to be able to return to holiness."

Only at this time did Kaito Shirogane notice that this red-haired young girl, who still had some freckles on her face, had sea-blue eyes.

In those eyes, there was a look full of earnestness.

The figures of two other young girls seemed to appear before Kaito Shirogane's eyes: Cindy, the young girl from the One Piece world with the word "Justice" scrawled on her back; and Illya, who reached out her hand to him sitting on the shoulder of the black giant in the Type-Moon world.

The figures of the three somewhat overlapped.

Thump. Aetoris, who had just woken up, knelt on one knee. His lion-like golden long hair covered the injuries on his body.

"Your Excellency Mercenary Tao, you said it yourself, as long as my heart can still burn, you will protect Her Excellency Seraphina's life!"

Pfft!

The just-healed wound was torn open once again.

The Professor's pupils dilated, and Seraphina exclaimed and stepped forward wanting to treat him.

But Aetoris threw her off with a sweep of his arm. Pointing at the chest he tore open himself, his face twitched, as pale as paper, but his eyes flickered with a gleam like fire.

"Look, Your Excellency Mercenary Tao..."

"My heart is still beating, my hot blood is still flowing!"

Clang!

The pitch-black greatsword was flicked out of thin air once, dragon blood splashing on the grassland. Kaito Shirogane put away the black sword. Seeing that sight of will burning and overwhelming instinct, his mood finally improved a lot.

"Heh, then I hope you can keep burning until this little Saint finishes her purification."

Having obtained Mercenary Tao's promise, Aetoris finally collapsed to the ground. Seraphina and the Professor quickly bandaged him.

Kaito Shirogane, however, cast his gaze towards the other side of the distant ocean. There, a clear line of sight was currently meeting his.

The corners of Kaito Shirogane's mouth opened and closed, silently spitting out a few words.

"Don't be anxious, I'll come right away to... kill you~"

In the Grand Cathedral of the Holy City Latina, Laurence indifferently closed his eyes.

"Ignorant beasts."
