Chapter 1268: Talking to Owens
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Year 1200 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar, Month of Harvest.
On the sea around Dragon Palace Island, the two swordsmen moved in the air like peregrines, extremely fast and agile.
The longswords clashed, and crackling sounds exploded.
Compared to the magnificent spells of a wizard, their attack looked simple and unadorned, just ordinary saber flashes and sword shadows.
However, occasionally, a sword light would fall on the surface of the sea or the clouds.
It was enough to stir up huge waves and shatter the clouds. It was enough to see its terrifying power!
...
The two swordsmen were Gerri and Levi.
Gerriâs Ghost Crying Slash was fast like the wind, as fast as a phantom, and as clear as a ghost!
Leviâs Crimson Dragon in the Sky, Opening Slash, and Mount Hua Splitting Force were so brilliant that one could not look straight at them!
As the two of them clashed, invisible shock waves swept across wherever they passed!
âMaster, I canât move anymore.â Gerri stopped after a long time. He was panting heavily.
âLetâs go back,â Levi said as he put away the Crimson Dragon Slash.
Ever since Gerri reached level 5, Levi had been sparring with him on sword techniques occasionally.
He only used his most basic physical fitness and sword skills. He did not use his Dharma Idol or other special skills.
With this, Gerri could even fight Levi to a draw with his superb sword skills.
Looking at Gerriâs back, Levi muttered in his heart, âGerri must have been a genius in sword arts when he was alive.â
Levi could feel Gerriâs endless potential.
He focused on the sword and placed his emotions on it.
Levi had once shared some of the sword skills he had obtained with Gerri.
At its most exaggerated, Gerri could almost do it at a glance.
Levi had to admit that his sword skill talent was not as good as Gerriâs.
âSigh, without the panel, Iâm just an ordinary person whoâs lucky, talented, and a little afraid of death⊠Thatâs why I have to be more cautious and steady!â
Seeing Gerri, Levi thought of Owens, whom he had not contacted for a long time.
He stretched out his palm and saw a bunch of Fate Coins shining. The pattern of the Death Ember Dragon was carved on it.
In the middle of the pile of Fate Coins, there were several purple coins, which looked gorgeous.
These purple coins were contributed by the level 5 existences that Levi had killed.
Levi flicked his finger and a Fate Coin flew into the sky.
âUnyielding Silver Seat Owens!â
Boom!
Accompanied by the explosion of golden light, a figure suddenly appeared.
âWho are we going to fight this time? In the years that youâve forgotten me, Iâve comprehended 124 new sword techniques and thousands of variations!â
Owens appeared, pulled out his Silver Sword, and looked left and right, but he couldnât see the enemy.
âIâm not fighting anyone. Iâm just checking to see if youâre still alive,â Levi smiled and said.
Owens sensed Leviâs aura and his expression changed.
âHow did you become stronger?â
Levi smiled and teased, âHow are you? Are you still a fourth-stage Gray Swordsman? Can you do it? Windmill Villageâs number one swordsman?â
Owens was dejected when he heard that. He sighed and said, âFifth-stage Gray Swordsman? Thatâs difficult. In the history of our Windmill Village, there has never been a fifth-stage powerhouse.â
âTake these Fate Coins and cultivate. I hope you can break through to the fifth-stage soon and become the first person in Windmill Village to achieve that!â said Levi.
Owens rubbed the back of his head. He held a pile of Fate Coins in his hands. He couldnât close his mouth. Then, he smiled foolishly and said, âItâs not good to not accept a reward without merit.â
âTake it. When you reach fifth-stage, I might need your help,â said Levi.
âThank you, buddy. When I reach the fifth-stage you must summon me more often to fight⊠Only when one is close to death can one comprehend the true essence of sword skills!â Owens said in a profound tone as though he was ready to get himself killed.
âThereâs one more thing,â Levi shouted before Owens left.
âWhat is it?â
âOther than you, are there any normal natives in the Ashen World? Be it humans or transcendent creatures,â asked Levi.
Owens shook his head and replied, âI donât know. I havenât left Windmill Village for a long time. The outside world is full of powerful Death Fall. Iâm afraid of death.â
Levi said, âThen after you advance to the fifth-stage, go and take a look at the outside world if youâre able to. I need you to help me find the descendant of a king. This kingâs true form should be a flaming dragon made of ashes. In our world, itâs called the [Ash Dragon], but in your world, there might be called something else.â
Owens looked at the Fate Coin and asked, âDoes it look somewhat like this?â
âYes, but there are some differences. It should have no feathers. Its head is more like a traditional dragon and its entire body is covered in scales,â said Levi.
âLeave it to me. Once I advance to the fifth-stage, Iâll leave Windmill Village!â said Owens.
After catching up with Owens, Owens stabbed himself in the heart.
âGoodbye, donât forget me, my friend,â Owens said with anticipation in his eyes. He committed suicide and returned to the city.
âDonât worry, I wonât forget.â Levi waved his hand and watched Owens leave.
He muttered to himself, âSure enough, Owens can project from the Ashen World to this place.
Apart from Owens, Levi did not encounter any other living beings in the Ashen World. All of them were Death Fall.
According to his speculation, the Ashen World was a world that had been invaded by the Nightmare World.
The Ash Dragon was once one of the kings of the Ashen World.
Logically speaking, with the personality of a Dragon Clan member, the Ash Dragon might have a bloodline left behind in the Ashen World.
The most important secret medicine for the Inferno Dragon Breathing Technique he cultivated was the Undying Bird secret medicine. This was the cornerstone of Leviâs powerful undying ability. In this world, there should be no one who understood the meaning of âundyingâ more than the Undying Bird!
