"This guy is like a monster......"

"yes...... I don't know how we won his ......."

"Ha, it must have been water, it was ...... at that time"

After a short but intense scuffle, the companions gasped slightly as they communicated. Lévy's strength has been deeply written into everyone's hearts at this moment. Whether it was having heard of the prestige of the "Sword Emperor" for a long time, or it was only the first time to meet this amazing strength, a consensus had been reached at this moment.

"However, even if it's him, I'm afraid we can't ...... after a few of us have besieged it for so long" Yulia glanced at Levi quietly, Levi's almost impregnable defense just now finally broke through under the combined siege of everyone, and he ate a golden palm firmly. This also proves that even if Levi is far stronger than everyone else, it seems that it is not impossible to defeat him.

"Whew...... It's not bad. However, what people never expected was that Levy, who had just been defeated by everyone, actually stood up calmly again, "But only to this extent...... I can't go beyond my Shura realm yet. ”

"What......?" Yulia was stunned for a moment, including Jin was also at a loss - he had hit the shot just now, even if Levi and Cassius were masters of the same level, it was impossible for them to look unscathed.

"Among you, whether you are a guerrilla or a soldier...... At the end of the day, people are just people who exist to "protect" others or countries. If you can't comprehend the realm of "reason", then my path of "asura" without hesitation will be equally out of reach for you. It's game over, and I'm almost over the fight - if you still want to have the slightest hope of winning, you can only count on some of the people in the room to stop hiding. After speaking, a fierce fighting spirit slowly rose beside Levi, and everyone realized that Lai's sword hand had been adjusted at some point-several wave-like impacts struck, and Kevin, Agat, Kim, Yulia, and Mura were forced to retreat again and again.

"So...... Let me challenge you alone. ”

Joshua ignored all the expressions that looked at him, whether surprised, appreciative, or thoughtful, and stepped forward.

"Huh?" Even Lévi was a little surprised, and his movements slowed down a little by half a beat, and almost in an instant, Joshua suddenly got close to Levi, and his two knives were unsheathed, firmly locking the strange long sword in Lévy's hand. But at the same time, Joshua's own face was extremely ugly.

"Did you give up your advantage in the shadows and choose to face me head-on? Hehe, admittedly, I used a lot of physical strength in the confrontation with them...... But even so, they want to defeat me in a head-to-head battle...... Defeat the Sword Emperor...... You know how difficult it is, right? Levi secretly tried to pull the Rock Eater out, but to his surprise, Joshua's movements were as resolute as ever, and his movements were of little avail.

"I understand." Joshua struggled to spit out scattered words, and the direct sword confrontation with the "Sword Emperor" used up almost all of his energy, but the perseverance in his eyes was also far beyond usual, "Saved by my sister, transformed by my professor, and liberated by my father...... Now, my soul and Estelle coexist with everyone—" Joshua lowered his left hand and raised his right hand, and in the small space where the two faced each other, two different fighting spirits belonging to the two people collided wildly, "Now I am going to gamble everything to challenge the Sword Emperor!" ”

"Excellent! Let the horses come! "Tooth of Darkness"! Lévi shouted, flicking his sword hard, finally breaking free from Joshua's twin swords—after which neither of them spoke, just stared at each other intensely.

The crowd on the sidelines, who had been fighting on the sidelines just now, did not speak, and no one tried to interrupt the communication between the two men. For some reason, almost everyone has a feeling that Joshua now may not lose...... Perhaps, he can really create a "miracle".

The light of Joshua's twin swords flickered in the sunlight as he moved, and then the boy's body gradually became blurred. In everyone's sight, Joshua disappeared in place almost instantly, and at the same time, there was a crackling sound of metal grinding behind Levi.

The "Dark Fang" was originally an executor who existed to assassinate the strong. And this trick he is using now is the limit of what he can do as an assassin to whom the "Association" belongs-"Stunt: Phantom Attack". Under the transcendental, almost no one could stop this killing move, even a character as strong as the "Sword Master" Cassius, who was almost sent into the arms of death by this move back then.

However, it was Joshua's strongest blow, which could be called the "executor", that was easily defused between Lévy's understated actions. The "Sword Emperor" didn't even move his body, but with a seemingly random swing of his sword, it accurately hit the "center of gravity" of Joshua's assault, and re-dispersed the momentum that the young man had gathered for a long time.

"I don't want to admit it...... But I'm the one who knows your tricks best, Joshua. Whether Joshua grew up as a normal person or matured as an "executor", Lévy accompanied him throughout the whole process, and he couldn't know Joshua better. The so-called assassination, once it appears in broad daylight, once it is detected by the target, then the end will naturally fall short - this is why Levi can be indifferent. Death? Crisis? On the way to the path of Shura, how could the crisis be more dangerous than this time? Lévi forced Joshua back with a single sword, followed by a furious series of attacks. Joshua naturally didn't dare to take Levi's attack, he relied on his flexible body to regain the distance, and used the wide field to maneuver with Levi. In an instant, Levi began to feel that there were seven or eight Joshua around him making small moves, as long as there was a slight flaw in his defensive posture, he would usher in a fierce attack, and once the sneak attack failed, Joshua would regain his distance and continue to deal with the "Sword Emperor".

"It can't go on like this." Kevin frowned, "This kind of play is no different from the way we dealt with him just now...... It's just that even a few of us working together can't cost him much effort, Joshua's words alone ......"

"No...... Give him a little more time. Jin, who has the highest martial arts cultivation, seems to have seen a clue, "Although his martial arts skills are far inferior to the Sword Emperor, he knows the Sword Emperor the best after all, and he is like a brother's relative. ”

"Fei, do you see anything?" On the other side of the platform, Hailiga and others were also observing the battle. For some reason, Joshua at this moment always gave people a feeling of being out of place with the Assassins.

“…… Joshua, it seems, is avoiding the "Sword Emperor"? Fei said softly.

"Are you worried...... No, how could Joshua kill that "Sword Emperor". Surprised at first, Estelle decisively denied the claim.

"It's not a question of whether you can kill or not, it's a question of whether you want to kill or not." "He seems to be ...... Deliberately avoiding the assassination methods he learned during his "association", he instead used a more protective maneuver...... Anyway, it's like ......" Helriga's gaze looks at the eye-catching "Support Hand Armor" sign on Estelle's gauntlet.

In the middle of everyone's conversation, the already fragile offensive and defensive balance was suddenly broken-
