Chapter 521: Chapter 270: Savior from the Other Side (Part 2)
The white-haired young girl raised her sword to block luna’s fierce thrust, drawing the rainwater to condense into sharp flowing water, gently winding towards the black-haired young girl: "It seems there’s a ti discrepancy in so of our encounters. Didn’t you start learning swordsmanship when he returned to the village?"
luna thrust her sword forward fiercely, piercing through the rain: "I didn’t learn from him."
"Without Grandpa Otto, where did your swordsmanship start?"
"I learned it myself, then collected sword manuals."
"Learned it yourself?" ii couldn’t imagine how the person opposite her had made it to this point.
"You and I are the sa, the more you use the sword, the more you will learn."
"Alright, I admit, using a sword seems like an innate ability for us. Even without teaching, you gradually understand, but you..."
ii didn’t want to admit that luna had gone further than her, so she shifted the topic back to Li Ang, since the discussion of swordsmanship originated from this.
"You didn’t wander alone to this Nebis until you t that guy and got your first friend, did you?"
"Yes."
"No wonder, no wonder, it was so easy for him to get you—"
luna twisted her wrist, and the storm surrounding her sword blade rotated violently. In a huge roar, endless raindrops gathered into a giant wave, slashing out with her sword.
This magic-powered wave was naturally filled with countless sword qi, its principle very similar to ii’s previous Sea Tide Blade, but the montum was more than doubled.
ii realized she had truly angered the opposite side, barely evading and parrying with full effort, using the surrounding rain as she retreated to slowly whittle down the barrage, she managed to endure this strike.
"My God, what kind of power is this?!"
In the cold rain, luna said expressionlessly: "I don’t need companions, I can do it alone, they just hold
back."
However, as if reminiscing about sothing, a part of the coldness on her face lted away.
"Only Li Ang is different, he, he is really good."
Speaking in a trance, she struck out another sword wave similar to the first.
ii dodged with all her might, luna seed absent-minded, but her hand didn’t stop, launching another attack.
Knowing that continuing like this would leave her without rcy from the other side, she dared not mock anymore, quickly speaking to divert luna’s attention.
"The level of your attacks, are you just one step away from legendary now? You were at the legendary realm before you ca, not even an ordinary kind."
"Aren’t you? Then you’re weak."
ii gritted her teeth: "After the world shattered, the lesser laws gradually collapsed, I barely managed to effectively establish my own law within."
"That’s weak. Achieving legendary status before major fragntation allows one to grasp grand laws."
"Boast all you want, didn’t your world also get destroyed? Otherwise, why co here?"
luna’s calm expression wavered again, she seed to recall so things, but cast them aside, simply saying: "Before the Water Dragon’s fall, you should have managed."
"It was the first to die! I was only fourteen then, how could I?!"
"Is that so? My mistake, in my world it was the Fire Dragon that fell first."
"Such a powerful Fire Dragon? Isn’t that—"
"Yes, the world quickly entered a long winter."
ii paused, temporarily stopping her attacks, and luna’s offensive also eased.
"It sounds like you had it tougher than ."
After saying this, ii whispered softly: "Also stronger than . I’ve been running, running, barely scraping by after others’ sacrifices..."
The latter half of the sentence was drowned in the downpour.
luna’s rough black hair was soaked by water, clinging to her face and resting on her shoulders, reducing the sense of sloppiness and giving rise to more beauty. This water was not from her Domain but the splatter from ii’s sword slash.
"Even so, it’s useless, even if I killed every Star Soul and Demon I saw—"
"You killed them all?!" ii’s voice of surprise interrupted the other side.
"Yes."
The little girl clicked her tongue, muttering to herself quietly: "What a monster, how did I grow into that? Do I have to beco a wildling?"
"Even if I kill them all, the world is already broken, and only extinction awaits everyone else," luna said.
"Sounds better than for . At least you got a breath of relief, not the entire sky turning crimson under a complete demon dominion."
ii looked up, gazing at Nebis’s blue sky through the rain curtain, raindrops falling on her face, collecting into streams flowing down from the corners of her eyes.
"Is Nebis’s fate simply destruction?"
"Therefore, there exists the possibility for different outcos."
"Indeed, that’s why when viewing the flow of ti through the Creation Wedge, we made the sa choice," ii sighed.
"Your reason for coming here is the sa as mine, right?" ii asked.
"I want to save everything that’s broken."
"I thought so."
In a quiet, secluded village, the Sea Thorn Dragon swam peacefully in the encircling lake, and a tiny girl looked up at the sky frad by the island’s rocky walls, imagining the world outside.
The village was too small for her. Early on, she could hear the sounds of morning mist and flowing water, conversing with them and the Demons residing within.
No matter how deep the water, it couldn’t drown her; no matter how cold, it couldn’t affect her, as if it ca naturally to her, as if water would respond to her requests.
The village’s water connected to the whole island, she naturally knew the vastness outside.
Yet she needed to grow older to venture to the nearby towns, a principle her parents firmly held onto despite ii’s repeated pleas.
Day after day, she nestled in her mother’s arms or went fishing with her father close by, waiting each day with expectation, but the good thing was that each passing day, the awaited day ca closer.
Ultimately, she was t with a sky filled with never-seen giant iron pieces and strange creatures that spewed purple or black rays, turning the beautiful forest into scorched earth.
Surely, the people outside had all died, but they couldn’t find here. Her parents said.
But they ca anyway.
ii was pushed into an underwater current leaving the village by her parents, who believed she could escape using her talent.
However, no matter where she went, the shadow of the Empire never faded.
From then on, her life was completely soaked in hatred. Regardless of how many sights she saw on her journey, she rushed past them all, driven by a sole purpose: to destroy her enemies.
Along the way, she t different people and officially got her na.
ii was rely her infant na given by her parents, who were gone before they could give her a formal na.
And those she t along her path, none walked for long before falling to the enemy, only she was different, her extraordinary talent allowed her to defeat enemies but unable to protect anyone.
Kill, kill with the sword, keep killing, eradicating anything related to the Empire.
The re Empire, eventually fell under the blade of a genius.
And she, just as she was about to ascend to the pinnacle, encountered the self-proclaid Six Dragons supporting the world.
They gave her a ssage — she had been chosen by God as the Savior. All these experiences were rely preludes to cultivating a Savior.
Nebis harbored too many world foes, drawing it inexorably towards doom, with the Empire rely the insignificant first step, it was going to cause profound ripples.
The Empire was just the first step? She felt it was absurd, yet having co this far, she decided to continue on.
Looking back, the world was still filled with scars and wounds.
"I didn’t win, my world was utterly destroyed, and I could only use my last strength, leveraging the Creation Wedge, to project my spirituality here," ii said.
"In my world, so people are still alive. I aim to find a way here to prevent their and the world’s extinction," luna said.
Then, the timing of their arrival and landing was different, and they encountered Li Ang in different worlds.
"The world chooses a vessel for hope. When I arrived, I wondered whether to replace that person and start anew here, given my experience, possibly doing better, preventing so many sacrifices.
"The Creation Wedge also showed
the possibility of
failing without deification, so I hoped, frankly speaking, I hoped this was a worldline where the Savior lacked deification, so I could justifiably replace them.
"I just didn’t anticipate needing ti to recover my mory and power, but unbeknownst to , the Empire arrived here later than in our side. Regardless, I was prepared to start wiping them out and driving them away directly.
"However, Li Ang ca, and after he arrived on the island, he stopped the Empire. Based on this, I judged that he was indeed the Savior here," ii said.
So, after seeing Li Ang stop the Empire, she took her own judgnt action.
luna, pondering her words, did not deny them outright, but said: "Is there a possibility that the Savior isn’t him, but another child? He has been with
these past years, delaying the Empire’s actions shouldn’t have been influenced by him."
