As the Sword Bearer softly murmured, an endless storm erupted from his long sword, creating a chilling howling sound that hovered above the temple.
The next moment, it turned into a whirlwind resembling a tornado.
This whirlwind rose into the sky and countless sharp winds spun ceaselessly within, instantly sweeping up tiny pebbles and debris from the ground, grinding them into dust.
The tornado continued to grow.
Then... the tornado was ’lifted’ up.
When the Sword Bearer held the sword hilt high over his head, the ’tornado’ was picked up.
Looking at the ten-meter-long tornado, the female detective and the wandering Onmyoji were both visibly shocked.
The female detective wasn’t seeing the power of the Mystical Side for the first time.
Yet, every time, it left her terrified.
The projections before, the illusions as such.
The current tornado even more so.
Even more, the latter was a bit more stimulating and shocking.
Because, this is real control over the forces of nature.
Even if it’s just a bit, it’s still a force of nature.
Facing such power, ordinary people simply cannot resist.
No wonder the emergence of gunpowder and firearms marked the beginning of a change in eras.
Without weapons powered by gunpowder, commoners simply couldn’t stand against those with mystical powers.
Even with them... it’s just the beginning!
The female detective thought to herself, her gaze firmly fixed on Jason.
Or rather, how will Jason break through?
Despite sharing the same shock as the female detective, the wandering Onmyoji was more astonished by the wielder of the Demon Blade.
"It’s actually the Renowned Blade ’Heavenly Wolf’!"
"Does this sword still exist in the world?"
The wandering Onmyoji sighed in his heart.
The Renowned Blade ’Heavenly Wolf’ is quite famous on the Mystical Side, after all, ’Heavenly Wolf’ possesses the purest ’Demon Blade lineage’: Muramasa.
Although not every Muramasa will become a Demon Blade, those that do will be extremely powerful.
This is a saying passed down in the Inside World.
Everyone involved in the Inside World acknowledges this saying.
Because there are too many examples that prove its validity.
Just like the current Renowned Blade ’Heavenly Wolf’.
Its previous master was a ’Thousand Men Slayer’!
Active on the battlefields just before the fall of the old era and the birth of a new era.
Along with another ’Thousand Men Slayer’, he is still being talked about to this day.
The former was crazy.
The latter was scarlet.
Both are red and both carry ominousness.
In the end, rumors have both good and bad outcomes.
The wandering Onmyoji prefers the good.
That’s just the kind of person he is.
For example, at this moment
"Such sword momentum, you can’t take it head-on!"
The wandering Onmyoji shouted out loud.
Unlike the female detective’s judgment on the danger of the scene at hand, the wandering Onmyoji was very well aware of what would happen if he took that sword strike head-on.
Pulverized to pieces!
Unless you are truly made of steel!
A secret technique passed down in many temples, although it contains the word ’Vajra,’ it is merely a description.
Being able to block ordinary Renowned Blades with just ’a hand’ was already a peak performance.
Now you want to withstand the Demon Blade?
However, Jason seemed as if he did not hear the words of the wandering Onmyoji at all.
Facing the slashing whirlwind.
He just charged forward.
"Hehehehe haha haha!"
"Let you feel the agony of thousand cuts!"
Watching Jason charging forward, the Sword Bearer burst into wild laughter. With each laugh, his sword’s sharpness intensified oppressively, and when it reached its peak, he slashed down.
The air vibrated swiftly, emitting an unprecedented mournful wail.
But Jason’s expression remained unchanged.
With a calm look in his eyes, he watched the crushing whirlwind and suddenly raised his left hand.
Clenched his fist, and struck out!
After a muffled sound that made the ground of the courtyard tremble, a continuous, piercing noise followed.
It was like the sound of a metal chainsaw cutting through a too-hard piece of steel, breaking the saw’s teeth.
Then, a scene that made the female detective and the wandering Onmyoji stare dumbfounded occurred
The whirlwind was blocked!
Blocked by Jason’s own fist!
Not only did he block it, but he also gained the upper hand!
Amidst sparks flying everywhere, Jason’s fist, against the pressing down ’whirlwind’, gradually straightened his arm, pushing up the ’whirlwind’ little by little.
"How can a flesh and blood body withstand the Demon Blade!"
The Sword Bearer roared in disbelief.
His eyes almost bursting from their sockets, filled with shock and horror.
The Demon Blade, was his greatest domain.
If even the Demon Blade couldn’t handle Jason...
Immediately, this Sword Bearer clenched his teeth and pressed down the Demon Blade with both hands.
"You’re just forcing yourself!"
The Sword Bearer shouted .
As if shouting could somehow increase his own strength.
However, upon hearing this shout which was like a defeated dog’s, both the female detective and the wandering Onmyoji let out a sigh of relief.
The female detective and the wandering Onmyoji thought.
Joy emerged from the depth of the female detective’s heart.
And also a trace of relief.
Because Jason had promised to teach her.
