Chapter 99: Strengthening the Sword Will! A mere whetstone!?
The Leviathan froze on the spot, its eyes looked at the descending giant sword and thought to himself:
"I am pathetic?"
"Where did I hear these words?" It took a moment to think, and its mind went back to the past.
"Thatâs right, I said these words when I looked at the creatures of this world, killing each other for a chance to live more, to not die of hunger and starvation."
"I felt they were pitiful at that time, but now I feel scared?"
"Scared of this?"
He snapped open his eyes, revealing his slithered pupils.
As the Sword Will came crashing down, the Leviathan parted its jaws, revealing its forked, serpentine tongue.
"Haha, I am scared... Iâm scared?"
The Leviathanâs form erupted into a blinding green light, hurtling directly at the Sword Will.
The two forces collided with a cataclysmic explosion of energy, sending shockwaves through the very air. The cavern around them trembled, and the ground cracked beneath the immense power.
The collision was so violent, it sent waves of destruction rippling outward, shattering everything in its path, stalactites falling, rocks crumbling to dust.
Eryke was pushed back, inch by inch, his feet scraping against the ground, yet he stood resolute, unmoving in the center of the storm.
His heart remained calm as he fought against the raw power surging toward him.
"You fool, trying to defend against my Sword Will," Eryke muttered to himself.
