Chapter 414
It was Ghoul Sword!
Kayson was only asking in passing because the man was using a sword and the attack hinted at a
grandmasterâs level. That was why he had thought of Ghoul Sword. It was actually the criminal
himself.
Kayson looked at the broken trunk and the fissure on the ground. Thanks to the remaining sword
energy, his gaze turned grim after a rough judgment. How was Ghoul Sword so good? His sword
aura could absolutely break the steel power of Steelification Doyen.
Perhaps he would not be able to kill Steelification Doyen, but in terms of damaging power, ten
Steelification Doyen could not even compare to one Ghoul Sword.
âKayson, w-who's he?â
Celeste was aghast. She was only a regular girl. How could she have encountered a situation like
this?
âGhoul Sword, a criminal and a grandmaster fighter.â
Celeste asked worriedly, âI-Is he very good?â
"He's alright.â
âAre we running?â
Kayson shook his head. âWe won't succeed. He could find
me again since heâs found me once.â
Speaking of which, Kayson furrowed his brows, wondering how Ghoul Sword had found him.
Ghoul Sword stared at him unnervingly with brimming killing intent.
âThe crystallized energy that I've nurtured for years has been destroyed because of you, you
b*stard.â
Ghoul Sword's tone was incredibly icy.
âMy grudge can't even be appeased by ripping you apart!â Kayson furrowed his brows as his eyes
gleamed coldly.â How many innocent lives have you taken by nurturing the crystal with human
blood?
"Someone like you should die and not leave behind any remains.â
Ghoul Sword snorted. âIt's just some ordinary Tom, Dick, and Harry. Let them die. It's their honor to
become nourishment for my sword training.
âBut you've ruined it all. I'm going to kill you and suck your energy dry. You're in the pre-celestial
level, aren't you?
âYour energy is as good as that of 100 regular people. Let your life be my compensation.â
Ghoul Sword waved a hand, throwing a black sword light toward Kayson. The outer edge of the
attack was crimson
red and smelled strongly of blood and energy. Kayson remained calm as he countered with a Vulcan
Firepalm. The flame was engulfing but it was cut by the sword light. The powerful sword aura
extinguished the flame directly and overpowered Kayson's energy.
Ghoul Sword smirked. âKayson, I know you. You have good explosive power, and it's impressive that
you were able to kill Steelification Doyan
âBut you've got to know, I'm not like that old bum Steelification Doyen. Grandmasters who train
their physical aspects have always ranked the lowest in terms of damaging power among us
fighters.
âIt's like people like us, who are trained specifically to attack, don't really have a high regard for
people with tortoise shells.
"Once their defense is taken apart, they're basically meat on the chopping board. I'm different.â
While he spoke, he kept launching attacks, one fiercer than the other. The trees in the forest
collapsed because of his sword light, and Kayson had to keep retreating with Celeste.
"As I expected, aside from having immense energy, you're useless.â
Ghoul Sword was incredibly agile and came close to Kayson in the blink of an eye. The strongest of
his attacks
then came down
Kayson barely avoided it and suddenly asked, âDo you know Ground-Scrincan?â
âI've heard of it. It's an elusive technique of the Shamanian Society,â Ghoul Sword answered with a
frown.
Kayson suddenly let go of Celesteâs hand and dashed forward , shocking Ghoul Sword, who went
flying at the collision before he could attack.
âUgh!â Ghoul Sword's nose was broken alongside a few of his ribs, and he began to cough blood.
