The Herb King

Chapter 315 Divine Sword Movement

With Albert's presence, they finally had the upper hand against the four Level 5 experts of the Underworlder army. Deep wounds started to appear on these creatures' bodies and even the strongest among them, the late stage Level 5 Underworlder was being pushed back by Irithel.

Albert who was riding his Winged Golden Unicorn waved his sword, sending hundreds of sword lights that eliminated the nearby Underworlders.

'How strong! Is this the strength of Aethelwolf's subordinates?' Amishta's eyes flashed with shock when she saw Albert killing wave after wave of enemies with every swing of his sword.

At this moment, Albert's lips curled upwards as he gazed at one of the Level 5 Underworlders. He jumped off from his mount and lunged forward. Taking the enemy by surprise, he cleaved down his sword, slashing off the head of the early stage Level 5 Underworlder.

Spurt!

Purple blood gushed out from the headless corpse before it fell to the ground with a thud.

Seeing this, the remaining three Level 5 Underworlders were momentarily shocked and Irithel used this opportunity to land a fatal blow to the late stage Level 5 Underworlder.

Su!

A powerful energy tore through the chest of the giant creature, leaving a huge gaping hole in its body.

Rooarrr!!!

The late Level 5 Underworlder screamed in agony as it clutched its chest. It staggered and almost lost its balance, but it somehow managed to stand firm despite its grievous wound!

"What strong vitality! This guy isn't easy to deal with!" Irithel narrowed her eyes. She used up a fifth of her world essence in that attack just now. Now, she only has less than half of her world essence in her Hegel.

Suddenly, valiant war cries echoed in the sky. Everyone raised their heads and saw five thousand soldiers. Each of them was riding on top of a Winged Unicorn, looking extremely domineering in their full body armor.

"It's them! They are finally here!" Callon whose face was covered in blood muttered joyfully as he watched the five thousand fierce warriors above the clouds.

"Our reinforcements are here! Don't falter! Kill! Kill them all!" The remaining Shadow Guards shouted in rage. The Barbarian warriors were energized when they heard their words. Their morale skyrocketed and they started to release powerful attacks on the Underworlders.

Albert's elite force descended from the sky with fearsome momentum. Huge waves of Underworlders fell under their charge, destroying the formidable formation of the Underworlders.

With their presence, the tables seemed to have been overturned and the Underworlders started to suffer major casualties.

"Kill them all!" An elite Esper riding a Winged Unicorn raised his sword as he valiantly charged into the defensive formation of the Underworlders. More elite Espers followed his charge and they tore through the enemy formation.

On top of the stage, Janrose and Milan had already exchanged a few moves, but surprisingly, Janrose didn't release her Sword Intent. She didn't even use any sword technique and just fought with Milan using the most basic attacks.

"Are you looking down on me?!" Milan frowned as he looked at the young girl in front of him. He was the absolute genius of their empire and he had moved up in the rankings by defeating many other talented people. It was the first time he had fought someone who didn't even seem to be taking him seriously.

Janrose shook her head. "You're wrong. I'm only using you as a training partner." She chuckled teasingly.

Milan almost spurted blood when he heard her words. "What did you say?!" The intensity of his attacks increased and he no longer bothered about his usage of world essence. He released a series of powerful moves one after another, forcing Janrose to take him seriously.

"Since you want this to end immediately, I'll fulfill your wish!" Janrose muttered coldly as she executed a sword movement.

When the audience saw her stance, they immediately recalled the sword movement that Alec showed recently.

"Why does this sword technique look familiar?"

"Wait. Isn't this the sword movement that Alec showed recently?"

"They actually know the same sword technique!"

This time, Milan smiled grimly. He was already satisfied by his own performance and he felt happy that Janrose was finally willing to use one of her trump cards. "Good! I'm ready!" He shouted fearlessly as he quickly summoned a thick energy wall in front of him.

Soon, an illusory sword slowly came into view as Janrose completed her chant.

"Wait. The illusory sword she released looks different than what Alec showed last time. If I remember correctly, Alec's illusory sword was white in color, but the illusory sword that she released is brilliant gold!"

"The power contained in that golden illusory sword is also a lot stronger!"

Milan was also stunned when he saw the illusory golden sword that was slowly taking shape above Janrose's head.

"Now, that's more like it!" He muttered.

Janrose coldly stared at Milan as she muttered. "Release."

The golden illusory sword trembled and produced a keening sound as it tore through the air with great speed.

Swoosh!

Cracks started to appear in the battle arena as Janrose's sword intent ferociously erupted all over the place.

Milan gritted his teeth and sent a stream of world essence into the energy wall. Beads of sweat covered his forehead under the overwhelming aura of the golden illusory sword.

BANG!

The golden illusory sword struck the energy wall!

The referee and the Elders quickly moved when they noticed that the energy wall was about to collapse.

"Quick! Block it!" The referee shouted as he took out a defensive item from his storage ring. The Elders immediately made their move when they saw that the situation was getting out of hand.

"Oh no! We can't resist it! We need more help!" The referee and Elders were horrified when they found out that the golden illusory sword's power was only depleted by half. Meanwhile, their defensive items were on the verge of being destroyed!

Omar who was hovering in midair with his hands behind his back suddenly squinted his eyes. He waved his hand and released a gentle energy that slowly dissipated the power of the golden illusory sword.

Milan who was standing behind the referee and the Elders gaped in shock. 'I thought I would die just now...' He muttered in his heart. He vowed in his heart that he will never provoke this woman again if they met. She was too dangerous!

The referee and the Elders sighed in relief. They then bowed at Omar gratefully. If not for his intervention, they would have been severely injured by the golden illusory sword. "Thank you, Holy General Omar!"

The old man waved his hand with a calm look on his face. "Announce the winner." He muttered.

"Yes! Yes! Right away!"

The referee went back to his spot and shouted. "Janrose wins!"

Janrose bowed at the referee and the Elders. She then bowed at Omar. "I'm sorry, Elders. I didn't manage to control my strength. Please forgive me." She was speaking the truth. She didn't think that her Sword Intent would actually amplify the power of her sword movement. She thought that the Elders would be able to handle it so she released the attack without hesitation. Who would have thought that they would actually fail to block the golden illusory sword?

The referee and the Elders smiled wryly as they shook their heads. "No worries! No worries!"

Janrose jumped off the stage and went back to the waiting area.

Soon, the audience erupted into cheers.

"Woah! Her golden illusory sword is actually strong enough to rival the strength of a mid stage Level 4 Esper! Even the Elders weren't able to destroy her sword movement!"

"It looks like Princess Altina wouldn't easily win this competition."

Meanwhile, Aethelwolf revealed a gratified smile after watching his student's overwhelming performance. 'Her power has increased exponentially in the past few days. She must have trained well lately.' He thought to himself.

"Sir Aethelwolf, how did you train this student of yours? And what kind of sword technique was that?" General Trevor was also a swordsman so the sword technique was a fatal temptation to him.

Eliazar who was listening on the sidelines was also interested in this. From his perspective, the sword technique could be considered one of the strongest sword techniques in the history of the Regalis Continent.

Aethelwolf seemed to have temporarily forgotten about the Northern Region. He smiled as he replied. "It's a sword technique called Divine Sword Movement. It has a simple name, but every sword move contains traces of Sword Intent. That means if you comprehend this sword movement, you will nurture the embryonic form of Sword Intent."

Hearing this, the two experts gasped in shock.

A sword technique that could help someone comprehend Sword Intent? They never thought that such a supreme technique actually existed! It was so unbelievable that they almost thought that he was speaking nonsense. However, they had already seen its power and it was enough proof!
