The Paladin on the Infinite Tour

It was a disc with clear black and white, like a Tai Chi diagram, but the boundaries between black and white were extremely blurred.

The seventh incarnation·Light and shadow.

(...are you asking me to use you?)

【Zheng! 】

The disc vibrated even more violently.

(.....I know, then——)

The above thoughts were just for a moment, before Salbatorre took the next step——

——[I am the shadow that swallows the world]

——[I am the light that covers the world]

The high-speed divine words almost completely omitted the chanting process, and in an instant, Exia completed the switch of incarnations.

"Zheng——————!"

The red dragon man disappeared.

Instead, he wore a long windbreaker and held a long knife nearly two meters long in his hand. His whole body seemed to be illusory, and he looked like a looming [Phantom] of Exia.

58. Mirage of another world

The seventh incarnation·Light and shadow.

This is the first time Exia has used this incarnation that combines [Phoenix] and [Dragon Snake Mercury].

Although the relevant instructions are already known, knowing and actual operation are two different concepts, just like a person with perfect theoretical knowledge may have zero practical level.

Therefore, after using this incarnation, Exia felt the power of this incarnation more firmly - and at the same time understood the origin of the long knife in her hand.

"Oh? Has your posture changed?"

Looking at Alexia who suddenly changed his appearance, Salbatorre suddenly became interested: "There should be only one god you kill - does it have the same power as that role-playing maniac in the United States? Hahaha! It’s interesting, keep coming!”

"Tsk---!"

The lightning-fast Silver Demonic Sword cuts through space!

The strike was as fast as thunder, and the afterimage could not even catch up with the movement of the sword!

However, facing this sword that could cut off everything, Exia had no intention of avoiding it at all. She stood motionless and let the Silver Demonic Sword slash towards her body!

Salbatorre couldn't help but be a little surprised.

In the past few years, he has never seen anyone who dared to take his magic sword forcefully. Even the oldest old man immediately became wary after suffering a small loss.

Now Exia actually wants to forcefully accept——

(Then give it a try!)

Salbatorre's fighting spirit was immediately further stimulated!

However, the next moment, the scene that happened in front of him made him open his eyes wide!

“Shua——————!”

The magic sword that cut off everything cut through Ixia's body without any suspense. The power spread out and cut off the city wall behind. The wall at the top suddenly collapsed, and large pieces of rubble fell. Smashed to the ground.

However, it was obviously directly hit by the magic sword.

"...No injuries?"

Alexia's body was unscathed.

Not to mention being cut in half, there was not even a single scratch affected by the magic sword, and even the clothes on his body were intact!

"Awesome!" Salbatorre couldn't help but exclaimed, "Hey, hey, hey! You are awesome, Eklaner! How did you do that?!"

(They all said her name is Aikesia...)

Alexia put her hand on the handle of the long knife: "Who knows? Use your own brain and think about it - compared to this, if you chop me twice, I will chop you once, you should be okay with it, right?" ?”

I have to fight with myself! ?

Of course, Salbatorre couldn't ask for such a good thing. He didn't need Exia to step forward at all, and he had already rushed out with a sword on his face full of excitement!

The magic sword that can kill almost everyone in the world with one strike fell directly from Exia's head with great speed!

"Boom——————!"

The ground shattered and the city walls collapsed!

The third sword wielded by Salbatorre with his power caused the entire castle to collapse towards 80%!

But Exia, who was directly penetrated by this sword, was still unscathed.

"Three strikes."

Staring at Salbatorre who rushed into his arms, Alexia suddenly pulled out the long knife from his waist!

And at the same moment, Salbatorre suddenly felt something suddenly appear behind him, but before he could react -

"Tsk!"

Three huge wounds across his body appeared directly on his body without any warning! A lot of blood spurted out of his body!

No, not three ways.

Just like looking in a mirror, three identical wounds also appeared there at the exact opposite positions of the three wounds left by Alexia!

The sudden serious injury caused Salbatorre's expression to change suddenly. He jumped back and immediately retreated tens of meters away. At the same time, hundreds of runes appeared on his body. His original flesh and blood body was transformed into Made of extremely hard [steel]. Even the cut wound stopped bleeding and became like cut metal.

"What was that just now?"

Salbatorre stared at the knife in Exia's hand with excited eyes.

After turning the sword around, Ixia sheathed it: "Who knows? As the king of swords, you must know more about swordsmanship than me."

(Is that [Steel's Protection]?)

While he was speaking, Exia was also observing Salbatorre's transformation - the Blessing of Steel, which allowed his body to be directly transformed into steel, thereby gaining unparalleled defense and immortality. Although there is a natural enemy such as ultra-high temperature, there has never been a rumor that the protection of steel has been broken so far.

(If you turn your body into metal, you can still survive even if it is cut in two. After all, what is cut is not the body, but the metal. Metal has no life and no blood - it is indeed immortal in a sense.)

While Ixia was observing this, Salbatorre raised the magic sword again: "Forget it, I can't think of it. But there is no sword in this world that I can't see through! I can do it next time Reveal the secret of your slash! Come again!"

Before he finished speaking, the Silver Demonic Sword struck again!

Only this time, the sword that was slashing at Exia was no longer the [slender] blade, but an extremely wide and thick sword that could launch a surprise attack from a hundred meters away in an instant at the extreme distance!

and--

“Dong dong dong dong dong dong————————!”

Cut more than once!

Like a violent torrential rain, Salbatorre didn't even have the slightest stagnation, and he swung out clean and extremely fast slashes one after another! Countless slashes formed a blade storm that could tear everything apart, dragging everything around into a shattering silver vortex!

“Boom, boom, boom————!”

The surrounding city walls were cut off countless times, and the bricks and stones were ravaged dozens of times in the process of falling.

"Chichichichichi——————!"

The ground was like dust blown up by a storm, and the dust mixed with soil and bricks was constantly flying.

Outside the castle, looking at the silver flashes that kept flashing across the sky, and witnessing the castle being shattered into piles of rubble at a speed visible to the naked eye, the members of the magic association, including Erica, all expressed their emotions. I felt palpitations and fear inside!

The ancient castle with a history of hundreds of years was destroyed so easily that not even a single brick or stone was left... The God Killer was indeed the Demon King!

However, just like the previous two times, no matter how Salbatorre wielded the magic sword, Exia seemed to have no entity at all. The blade just penetrated through his body and could not reach him at all. Leave no trace of substantial harm!

It was as if what Salbatorre saw before him was just a phantom!

"————"

The devastating slash lasted for about ten seconds.

After truly destroying the entire castle, Salbatorre suddenly stopped slashing, distanced himself and retreated to a relatively safe place.

"What? Finished the fight?" Alexia mocked with a smile, "Did you see it?"

"...How should I put it, it feels weird." Salbatore scratched his hair, "You are obviously right in front of me, but I always feel like you are in [another world] The same, and you in front of me are just a projected shadow - you are just a [mirage] now, right?"

Alexia: "..."

(That's a good intuition. Did he really get it right?)

59.Light and Shadow

The Godslayers are a group of beings who follow instinct more than reason. Rather than being human beings, they are more like beasts in human skin.

No matter how incomprehensible the situation is, the Godslayers can intuitively realize its essence and core.

And just like Salbatorre said, the current Exia is a [mirage] that exists in the world.

[Seventh Incarnation·Light and Shadow] has two effects.

One - gaining speed beyond common sense. Essentially, it compresses the [time] of its own movement to the limit. For example, it originally took Exia more than a minute to move 10,000 meters. If this incarnation is activated, it may take about one second to complete the movement. Depending on how much additional spell power is consumed, the extent of this compression can be further increased. There is no way to know how much Exia's full speed will be in the limit state.

The second one - obtain the [living weapon] that tears apart the dimension, which is the long knife in Exia's hand.

That is the embodiment of Dragon Snake's mercury ability, which can tear apart the dimensional space with just one swing. And unlike the original simple, crude and monotonous ability to swallow dimensions, while holding this knife, Exia herself can also perform more precise dimensional and space operations.

The ability to dodge Salbatorre's attacks comes from this - by [raising] the dimensional space you are in to a higher dimension than normal, you can become immune to all attacks from [below]. It is somewhat similar to the molded angel that Ixia once fought against. But the disadvantage is that it cannot actively launch an attack while maintaining this state.

In essence, what Salbatorre saw was just the shadow cast by Exia from a high place, and the shadow could not be destroyed or interfered with.

Likewise, the slash that seriously injured Salbatorre was also an application of this living weapon. Through the incarnation of divine speed, the speed of sword swings is compressed to the limit, so that the time difference between all slashes is infinitely close to zero, thereby achieving continuous slashes in an ultra-short time.

This is the truth behind those three consecutive cuts.

Moreover, [Dragon-Snake Mercury] is a two-headed dragon, and the weapon condensed from its power is actually not just one. Exia is not the only one holding this knife at this moment.

"Buzz~~~~!"

Countless blue particles suddenly floated away from behind Salbatorre, floated to Ixia's side and then regrouped into a blue phantom that was similar to his face but was completely translucent.

——Light and shadow

——Light and shadow

Looking at the two Exias standing together in front of him, Salbatorre's eyes suddenly shone: "Clone! And it's a clone condensed with magic power. This ability of yours is really interesting! Elmia!"

"...I have given up correcting my name to you." Exia dispersed the [Phantom] around her, "Speaking of which, is it really okay for you to be like this? Even if you become steel, if your If you had power, you would have been seriously injured and died, right?"

"Hahaha, don't worry, don't worry! As long as you put the bodies together like this and then release the powers, the body will heal itself!"

As Salbatorre spoke, he pulled the split parts of himself together, and then released his power.

The chopped body immediately healed at a speed visible to the naked eye! The severed bones were connected together, and the muscles were regenerated and sutured quickly!

Although it may take some time to fully reply, but...

"Okay! Resurrection!"

Using [Steel Blessing] again, Salbatorre turned his sewn body into steel, with a large number of runes floating on his body. Salbatorre patted his chest: "I have no problem here, come on, come on. , let us continue to cut each other with swords! This time I will cut through all the obstacles between us!"

"......you can do it?"

"I don't think I can do it, after all - that's what separates us, right?"

The silver demon sword in Salbatorre's hand became more solid and gorgeous, and the silver light released also made the pores on Alexia's body shrink.

The torn silver arm.

Is it possible that this power can even be used in dimensional space...

(Strike first is the best!)

Without thinking about the possibility of this, if Salbatorre can really do it, then Exia cannot give him the opportunity to do such a thing!

The time to move was reduced to zero in an instant!

Instantly flashing behind Salbatorre's defenseless body, Exia grasped the handle of the knife——

"Qiang!"

There was not even a sign of unsheathing. Alexia had already finished sheathing the knife while holding the handle. In this moment, which was not even a moment.
