Chapter 220: The Banished Swordsman
The first sub-island of Hailong Island, the scenery is surprisingly a quiet bamboo forest. When they landed on the island, they were greeted by a lush bamboo forest. There is a simple thatched hut in the bamboo forest, and probably there are people living there.
If so, the man of life is undoubtedly a swordsman of exile.
Giroud took the form of a dragon and stood on Edge's shoulder. Aegie told it not to consume mana, as it would be an ace against the sea dragon. Giroud has become much calmer, and he did not boast about Haikou and said that he did not take the sea dragon seriously at all. It didn't want to kill anyone else because of its negligence.
It had to win, and that was the result of both it and Age's determination.
Delaire was especially careful, and when Edge was about to step into the bamboo forest, he stopped him. He was worried that there were other traps around the bamboo forest, and he should try it. For what is hidden, there is no one who can feel it more favorably than Monroe. It just so happens that she is a sorcerer, and she has the power of perspective for illusions, hidden mechanisms, etc.
It can be said that Monroe's strength is indispensable and plays a huge role in this conquest of Sea Dragon Island.
Monroe nodded to Delare, happy to use her powers to help Age. After some probing, she came to the result, shaking her head at everyone, saying that there were no hidden traps in the bamboo forest. However, she also said that her abilities were limited, and that it was possible that she would not be able to see through the trap if the exiled swordsman was strong.
Everyone's concerns were not unreasonable, and in order not to worry everyone, Aiji evolved the Sky Breaking Sword, cautiously stepped into the bamboo forest, and walked in the direction of the thatched hut step by step.
Luckily, everything went smoothly and they made it safely to the hut.
"The sound of a dragon moaning that I haven't heard in decades. Before, I would be excited when I heard the dragon's groan, so excited, because I told myself that I was going to stand on top of the dragon, and I would be a great swordsman who conquered the dragon!"
"My name is Capest!"
Edge wanted to go inside the hut to see what was going on, but before he could take a step, a low, long, sharp voice came from inside the hut.
"Are you the mighty swordsman known as the Banished Swordsman?" asked Agee, standing outside the hut.
"Whoa!"
At this moment, several sharp voices rang out, and then a gust of wind swept in front of Age. Feeling a crisis, Aiji immediately swung his sky-breaking sword to defend himself and flipped backwards.
"Smack!"
Edge fell back in front of and behind Delare, and the green bamboos next to him just now fell directly. And the incision of the green bamboo is completely one-size-fits-all, without the slightest notch. And these, Ai Ji knew very well that it was just a blade qi. The blade qi is so sharp, which shows how powerful the swordsman who wielded this move is.
"If you're an exiled swordsman, come out, Capes! I'm here to kill you today!" Although he was stunned, Edge's determination was very strong, and besides, he didn't think that the power of his sky-breaking greatsword would lose to Capest.
After Edgey let out a low drink, the hut "snapped" and collapsed into a flat surface. In the center of it is an old man with a slender sword on his back. The old man had gray hair and wore loose clothes. But what impressed him the most was his eyes. There were no eyeballs in his eyes, and they were white.
Sure enough, as the rumors said, the banished swordsman was blind. As for whether his eyes were taken away by the sea dragon, I'm afraid only he knows.
"What a domineering boy, haha~ You're arrogant!"
Although Capes is blind, after decades of adaptation and change, he is now more blind than eyeless. It's true that he can't see things, but he can judge the person's position and attack method based on any movement around him, whether it is air or objects...... In short, everything has changed.
What he really does for this is that he can lock down a person's next move before that person changes in action. For this reason, whether it is the enemy's attack or defense, he can take the initiative to break through.
"You're here to kill the sea dragon, right? haha~ Okay, good!"
"However, as rumored, if you want to kill the sea dragon, you must first pass me!" Capes said boldly, not looking like a bad guy.
Eggy was puzzled by this and asked, "Why are you helping the sea dragon?" I heard that you came to conquer the sea dragon, but now you are working for the sea dragon, why?"
"There's no why! It's not strong, it's left to the soul, and that's it!" Capes said, looking back.
Aiji squinted at him, frowned slightly, and said, "Since you chose so, then...... You're welcome!"
With that, Aegie quickly swept out with his Sky-Breaking Greatsword and began to attack Bess.
Delaire and Monroe watched from behind, and they didn't go to help Age. This was pre-arranged, with Edge in charge of dealing with the banished swordsman and sea dragon, Delaire against the Red Ghostfish, and Monroe in charge of dealing with the Cave's Sigher, the mysterious wizard.
The choice to deal with the exiled swordsman is naturally because Aiji has a sky-breaking sword, which is strong and domineering, and can be attacked in both melee and long-range. After the first round of effort, he was able to regain his magic in the next two rounds.
Capes has no eyes, and relies on any fluctuations around him to catch Age's actions and use them to meet Edge. From Aegie, he felt an incomparably powerful domineering aura. After fighting with Edge a few times, he slowly came to a conclusion about himself. He already believes that he is no match for Edge.
Normally, after fighting several times, a person like Aiji who attacks with domineering moves will have physical and magical consumption, and then the subsequent attack will inevitably slow down, or even dull. However, Aggie did not exhibit this phenomenon. On the contrary, he became more and more courageous and belligerent the more he fought.
Capes knew his situation, and after losing to the Sea Dragon, he lost his eyes and became a waste. And the reason why he still has the strength he has now is because the sea dragon enslaved his soul. His soul changed, he quickly adapted to his environment, and his swordsmanship returned.
However, when the soul is no longer pure, it is impossible to send out pure swordsmanship.
Pure swordsmanship that was not made of his own volition, Capes didn't want at all. He thought about killing himself, but he couldn't even kill himself when he was enslaved by the sea dragon. And for decades, no one in this sea could kill him. Instead, he killed countless people who came to explore and challenge, and earned himself a prestige.
The banished swordsman, the banished, actually refers to his soul.
"Bang!"
At this moment, Edge's sky-breaking greatsword collided with Capest's slender sword, sending out a burst of sparks. The two parried together for this, each exerting their own strength to see who could repel whom.
With each force, Capes's slender sword bent and changed dramatically. And Edge's Sky-Breaking Greatsword, which evolved from Moros's blade, is a hundred times more powerful than Capest's rapette. For this reason, Aegie is standing still, as steady as Mount Tai.
"Drink!"
Suddenly, as soon as Edge exerted his strength, the aged Capes couldn't stand it and was bounced out.
At this moment, the winner is decided.
The belligerent Aegie is truly invincible, carrying a terrifying sword in his hand, and looking like he has passed the test.
Capes naturally expected the result, but he was not unwilling or afraid, but smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, as if he was relieved.
