Harvey pretended not to understand Geoffrey's warning and just smiled. "Right. I wonder if you have anything else you want to tell me?"Seeing that Harvey was changing the topics, Geoffrey knew that Harvey didn't pay attention to his implied warning. He sighed in regret. All the young men nowadays were so prideful. When he finally encountered someone who seemed skilful, the man was in the end just more of the same.Originally, Geoffrey didn't want to talk with Harvey anymore. After Harvey asked him that question, Geoffrey hesitated for a while. Then, he treated it as a final gamble and gave a reply."Fine. Since I'm here anyway, I'll tell you about this too. There's another thing I want you to help me with, and that is to see if there is any Island Nation curse within me. I believe you must have heard a little about me in the past few days, so I'll make this short."After that battle, my lungs were injured. After a decade's worth of healing, I've managed to completely suppress
When Harvey saw the throwing dagger, he frowned. "Ninjas from the Island Nation…?"Whoosh!At the same time, deafening booms filled the air. Suddenly, five ninjas in differently-colored uniforms appeared. They wore monster-shaped masks, looking vicious and terrifying.The moment they appeared, Geoffrey was bewildered."The five elemental kings of the Sky Plane?" he exclaimed. "The Sky Plane? Isn't there where the Island Nation said their gods reside? Does such a place really exist in reality?" Harvey asked. Even if Harvey himself was shocked at how terrifying the five ninjas were, he was still in the mood for gossiping."In our country, we have the Grand City, a place far above your world. The Island Nation had a similar place. The Island Nation called it the Sky Plane. Those who lived in the Sky Plane were just ancient beings who had reached the end of the Martial Path in Island Nation."Grand City and Country H's relationship isn't that good. Sometimes, Grand City would e
Harvey smiled and said calmly, "There's no need to apologize. Let's deal with these five before continuing our conversation."Geoffrey's smile widened. It was obvious that Harvey was pleased with how he dealt with the Islanders.Meanwhile, the expressions of the Five Elemental Kings darkened even more when they saw how Harvey and Geoffrey were chatting leisurely while ignoring them.The Metal Ninja King took a deep breath and said in a dark voice, "I never expected that despite so many, you still don't know your place, Geoffrey. Now that we Five Elemental Kings have appeared, it means you're going to die here today. You better consider if you should just surrender. Because if you do, at the very least we'll make sure you die in one piece. Or you can choose to fight until the end, until not even a bit of you is left…"As soon as the Metal Ninja King finished his speech, the other four Ninja Kings all drew out their longswords, the murderous intent in their eyes clear.Geoffrey nodd
There was only disdain in Harvey's eyes as he looked at the islanders. "I'm one of the best fighters in this generation. Your sword saints, Akio and Shinosuke, I've defeated all of them in one strike. I'm not afraid of them. Do you think I'm going to be afraid of you? All five of you should know that the Shinto Way's bloody wedding was all thanks to me, right? With so many battles before me, where did you get the idea and courage to believe that you can defeat me?" Harvey's words were calm, but his disdain was obvious.Normally, the Islanders would be enraged after hearing that. However, these five didn't even react to it. The Metal Ninja King that led them was especially calm. With a snort, he said, "I acknowledge that you're very strong, to the point that all six schools had been completely defeated. Quite a few people are by their inner demons the moment they hear your name."The problem is, do you think that the people from the six schools could represent the best of us? To
"Impossible! That's impossible!" An unspeakable fear began to surge forth from the Metal Ninja King's heart. How could Harvey defend himself against his decisive attack with just two fingers? How could something like this happen in real life?The Metal Ninja King wanted to escape, but he noticed that no matter what he did, he couldn't pull his sword back. Before he could do anything, Harvey was about to slap him.Whoosh!Harvey's action was infinitely simple, but it was unimaginably fast too. When the Metal Ninja King saw that, he immediately let go of his hands, wanting to give up on his longsword so he could retreat. While he was fast, Harvey was even faster.The only martial art that couldn't be beaten in this world was one with speed.No matter how much the Metal Ninja King retreated, Harvey's slap would hit his face either way.He retreated, again and again.The Metal Ninja King no longer had the pride of one from the Sky Plane. He was sweating profusely as he kept on r
However, even if Harvey had really only just become a True Warrior, he was still young. If he had about ten years to grow, would he be able to reach the legendary stage where he would become one with nature? Even if he couldn't reach that stage, when the time came, who could stop him when he was one step away from reaching it?The moment that thought crossed their minds, the Ninja Kings all understood why the members of the six schools saw Harvey as their archenemy."You're indeed quite powerful, Harvey York. You've become a true warrior when you're still so young. And from the way I see it, your aura is quite calm, and your presence is harmonious. That's enough to explain how you managed to reach this level without help from any outside powers. Good… You're outstanding!" The Metal Ninja King said as he rubbed his swollen face and sighed in admiration."Let's put it this way. If we don't kill you today and let you grow, then one day, you might destroy the entire Island Nation. So, w
"Water! Fire! Both of you, kill the kid! Make it quick!" The Metal Ninja King gave out his order. "Everyone else, come with me!"As soon as the Metal Ninja King yelled his order, the Water Ninja King and Fire Ninja King made their move. Two shadows of red and blue flashed toward where Harvey was standing. The two of them normally worked well with each other, and the moment they attacked, the winds howled with ear-piercing screeches.In a flash, both of them appeared right in front of Harvey. When Fire and Water stacked together, it made Harvey feel that the space he was standing in kept cycling between hot and cold. It was as if he was surrounded by both fire and water.As he faced the two of them, Harvey's expression remained as calm as ever. He even had the time to sigh.Whoosh! Whoosh!The instant that the two of them got close to him, Harvey didn't waste his breath and immediately handed out two slaps, which went directly to their faces. "What?!"While Harvey's action was s
However, no matter what they thought about Harvey, all the five Ninja Kings from Sky Plane shared the same understanding. They couldn't allow Harvey to grow. Otherwise, forget the Island Nation—even the Sky Plane could be destroyed by him.Harvey gave them a hint. "If you ask me, you should just stop splitting up between me and Geoffrey. If the five of you focus on me, you might still have some chance.""You…" The Metal Ninja King's expression changed. His face turned cold, and he quickly ordered, "Let's go!"Whoosh!The four other Ninja Kings stopped hesitating and launched themselves simultaneously right as the Metal Ninja King made his move. The five Ninja Kings congregated together and formed a Five Elements Formation.The battle began.Seeing what was happening, Geoffrey quickly yelled at Harvey, "This is the Five Elements Formation from Grand City! While it's something they stole from our country, after so many years' worth of improvement, it has become even more vicious.
