Everyone was filled with shock after hearing those words.They didn’t understand what Takai did to be this impressive…but judging from Aryan’s shock, they immediately understood.Nanako crossed her arms, showing a prideful expression.“There are some things that you might not know, Master Aryan.“When my uncle sparred with the Aenar Temple, he only showed ten out of fourteen slashes. He usually wouldn’t use the last four since they were the deadliest.“Even if Harvey’s lucky enough to deal with the first ten slashes… Nobody would be able to go against the last four! He’s dead for sure!”Everyone looked at Harvey with pity; they naturally believed Nanako’s words. Romina and Billie seemed worried, but they wouldn’t dare say a word about it.Takai dragged his long sword on the ground, emitting a trail of sparks, until he finally arrived ten steps in front of Harvey.“Any last words, young man?” he exclaimed coldly.Harvey smiled.“You should tell me yours instead. Your family’s
“You blocked my Raigeki?”Takai was filled with disbelief. He could clearly tell that Harvey only flicked his finger just now. And yet, that simple action was enough to make Takai’s fingers numb.Only the Great Wall was able to make him feel this way before.“Is this little bastard actually on par with the Great Wall in terms of both speed and power? Or am I just underestimating him?”Takai showed an odd expression; after becoming a God of War, he didn’t show it off to anyone else. Rather, he had been constantly training himself. He knew there was still a long way before he could finally be the strongest of all the Gods of War.He needed to train his muscles, speed, concentration of his power, and many more things. Everything needed time…And yet, Harvey managed to block the attack that he took at least two decades to perfect, shocking everyone around him.That said, Takai was an impressive character as well; he took a deep breath before quickly regaining his calm.He held hi
“How is that possible?!”Nanako and the others gasped before they instinctively rubbed their eyes.‘What’s going on? How did Harvey manage to dodge the Twelfth Slash? This is unbelievable!’One of Nanako’s followers couldn’t help but slap himself to make sure that he wasn’t dreaming.Takai’s eyes twitched as well.He didn’t think that Harvey would be so fast, with such strong defenses. More importantly, he had such a keen eye that he saw through the attack’s weak spot instantly.Harvey calmly waved his hand before smoothing out his clothes.“My wife bought this for me, and I like it a lot. I’m a little mad that you’re wrinkling it. Maybe you should kneel as an apology.”“You ignorant bastard! Die!”Takai was instantly enraged by Harvey’s mocking words; he couldn’t remain calm any longer.“Thirteenth Slash, Shiranui!”Takai’s sword looked as if it was burning. The raging fire on the blade seemed like it was about to swallow Harvey whole.“Stay back! Stay back now!”Nanako w
“Just go die if you want to so badly! Why would you drag my man into this?! You’re shameless!” Nanako exclaimed.“If anything happens to Asher, I won’t let you get away with this!”Harvey squinted at Takai’s blade without even looking back.“Don’t worry. Your man will survive.“If your uncle can even burn a strand of my hair, I’ll concede.“That said, you look up to your uncle a little too much. I’m starting to think that he had a lot of drugs just to get to this point.“After all, he’s no different from the rest of the people I send flying.”“You…”Takai was enraged; he swung his sword faster, creating a tornado of fire.The fierce fire surrounded Harvey in an instant.Nanako and the others could feel the surroundings getting scorched; they couldn’t help but pray so that they wouldn’t get involved.‘We’re finished! If Harvey can’t defend himself against such a terrifying attack…’They didn’t know if Harvey would die from this or not. But they’d definitely be dragged into t
Before Takai could come to his senses, Harvey took a step forward and swung his palm forward.Compared to what Takai did, it was just a simple slap without any flashy or complicated steps.“What?!”Takai’s expression kept changing; he didn’t think Harvey could still dish out an attack after getting constantly targeted.Judging from the speed and power of the slap, he wasn’t even worn out from the battle, either.Before Takai could form a clear thought in his head, Harvey’s palm was already in front of his face. He had no choice but to hold his sword up, hoping to guard himself from the attack.Slap!Takai was in disbelief; he finally realized that Harvey had no intention to fight him.He was finally slapped in the face. He felt a sharp pain, and his head was constantly spinning; his body shook, and he was sent flying to a huge tree from behind.The tree snapped in half, and he stumbled off the ground.Nanako and the other members of the Kawashima family gasped in disbelief.
It was simply unbelievable. And yet, the truth was right in front of everyone.Takai didn’t just lose—he was utterly defeated. He wouldn’t be able to find an excuse for this, even if he tried.“No… This is impossible…”Nanako felt weak from the shock. “Go! All of you!”The swordsmen and ninjas of the Kawashima family shivered before charging forward. They couldn’t possibly accept such a crushing defeat. Clack!Harvey stomped on Takai’s longsword. Many broken sword shards flew straight ahead.“Aaagh!”Screams of pain were heard; the experts of the Kawashima family were either covering their limbs or rolling on the ground, wailing all the while.The Kawashima family was taken down! Without a shadow of a doubt!Nanako wasn’t the only one shocked—Aryan froze, and so did Miley. Whitley and Billie covered their mouths; they didn’t know what sound to make at that moment. Their minds were completely blank.Romina and the others were also filled with disbelief.Harvey casually
Stefan smiled.“Let me ask you something. Do you think a young God of War like Harvey would come to this place for no reason? Do you really think the outskirts can hold such a prominent figure?”Aryan frowned for a moment. “I don’t think so, but he came here with a plan. If this keeps up, our ceremony might get affected.”Stefan smiled.“Exactly.“What’s the biggest reason such a top talent like him is attracted to a small place like this? The very thing that’s about to show up at the ceremony, of course.“Once the Nine-Eyed Beads are united, one can use it to obtain eternal life!“It’s not just Harvey. I’m sure prominent figures from all over the place have shown up here by now… Harvey isn’t the first, and he won’t be the last either.”Aryan pondered about the situation for a moment. “But there’s no need to hide all this for Harvey…”“That’s simply not true,” Stefan said, standing up.“Soon, the outskirts will be in chaos.“The Aenar Temple has proper support, but that does
“Heh! You think so?”Takai chuckled coldly. He raised his head, to find Nanako looking deceitful. “Stop lying to yourself. Even after ten years, I’ll probably still be no match against that little bastard.“He’s at a level that’s simply terrifying! If he keeps growing, he’ll become the Island Nations’ biggest obstacle!“The Kawashima family can’t deal with a prominent figure like that. He’s destined to rival the entire country!“If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have ended up like this in the first place!”Takai gritted his teeth, furious. Defeat wasn’t scary at all, but being crippled was. What was he going to do for the rest of his life?He badly wanted to strangle the one who instigated the whole thing. It was a shame that he couldn’t do that anymore.Nanako hesitated for a moment.“What should we do now? Now that you’re like this, our family’s strength is mostly gone. We’ve become toothless tigers here…” she said. Takai took a deep breath to calm himself down.“Since th
