Great Sword Master Kao!
Recognized as the number one contemporary martial arts master in the Roland Empire, the strongest martial artist!
Although this name may not be as popular as the champion of the "jousting conference" like Anthony or Rosario in the eyes of the people and ordinary people, it is only because such a truly extraordinary powerhouse does not disdain secular fame and fortune at all.
And only among the upper echelons of the Roland Empire can they truly understand the horror of this "Great Sword Master"!
Just because he is the only one known in the contemporary Roland Empire......
Holy Rank Master!
......
Saint Rank! A realm that countless cultivators dream of.
More than 100 years ago, in the era of Du Wei, that legendary era, there were many masters of the empire and mankind was at its peak. Led by Du Wei, the biggest legend of the empire, a number of names as bright as stars have emerged. In that star-studded era, it was as if genius masters appeared in the human world like a blowout, and there were many saint-level masters.
created a glorious era for mankind, and also enabled mankind to finally achieve an overwhelming victory in the face of alien invasion.
Maybe it's because geniuses always appear with the big times, or maybe it's because of the gathering of these geniuses that a brilliant era of Mars finally collided.
But in the world a hundred years later, the masters of mankind are gradually withering.
Now, in the entire Roland Empire, there is only one recognized saint-level powerhouse!
The Kao Roland Empire's premier swordsman, known as the master of the sword by the royal family, is currently the only saint-level powerhouse in the human world.
It seems that with the end of that splendid era, the blowout phenomenon of geniuses has finally ended, and the next hundred years. The talent of mankind has withered, and there has never been such a group of amazing geniuses.
Now, even the two consecutive presidents of the Magic Guild, and even the number one person in the Academy of Magic, Dean Carmen, who is recognized as a leader in the wizarding world, has not been able to reach the Holy Rank.
And the Great Sword Master Kao, without a doubt, is the brightest superstar in the human world in this era! At the same time, he is also the only one among the human race who can compete with those Saint-level masters of the alien race.
Therefore. Even the royal family had to canonize this saint-rank powerhouse as the "Imperial Sword Master".
Such an honorific title is almost the highest honor among court titles.
The great swordsman of Kao was born with a dislike of the worldβit seems that all the masters of the transcendent sanctity have this habit, and it is said that he lived in seclusion, and lived a life of bohemian and disrespectful of etiquette. Smiling Princely - of course, he has the capital. As a Saint-level powerhouse, he already possessed almost unimaginable power to mortals, so he could naturally defy the earthly laws of this world.
And the only thing this Kao Great Sword Master is praised for is that he has accepted a disciple, the young rookie of the Gallonin family: Panin.
......
Clark heard the name, and the old mage's brow furrowed slightly. Then slowly unfold. He seemed to sigh softly, and the cloudy old eyes looked at Kao, as if he was a little sorry, a little puzzled. But there was a little bit of realization, and finally, Master Clark said slowly: "Your Excellency Kao, the Great Sword Master...... I see. After a pause, the mage said, "Your Excellency is also the master of the royal family. Why did you trespass into the palace in the middle of the night? Could it be that a person as high as Your Excellency could defy the royal law?"
Kao was dressed in black. Just standing at the foot of the tower's steps, his black clothes fluttering, and his emaciated figure seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, but he stood here, falling into Clark's eyes, but it seemed like a nail!
It's so tightly nailed between heaven and earth!
"Master Fan...... I never accepted that title. Kao shook his head slowly, his tone light and chatty, his voice hoarse, as if the grains of sand were rubbing against the stone slab, "Mage Clark, I'm sorry. Your Excellency is the predecessor of that legendary era to the present day, and I have always admired you, but today...... I was entrusted with killing you. β
Clark raised his head, the old man's gaze crossed Kao, looking at the courtyard walls around the square, his eyes seemed to penetrate the air and space, and saw something unusual, and then, Clarka sighed softly: "Holy Order...... Sure enough, it was the power of the Holy Order. β
After a pause, Clarke's expression was solemn, and he slowly put down the wand in his hand and paused lightly on the ground.
With a bang, the wand was just standing on the stone slab, such a wand, without any strength, but it was actually standing there like this!
The old man trembled and reached into his sleeve to take out something, and gently squeezed it in his hand: "Since you are here, Great Sword Master, then please make a move." β
Kao exhaled lightly, his expression was serious, and his eyes were full of expectation: "I didn't want to kill you, I'm sorry!"
After speaking, the great sword master stepped on his left foot and raised his right hand.
More than ten steps were crossed, and Kao had already appeared in front of Clark, his fingertips seemed to pass through the rules of the world, and appeared in front of Clark out of thin air.
At this moment, Clark seemed to have a strange feeling in his heart, as if everything in the heavens and the earth around him had disappeared in an instant!
This is as if the world is here!
Heavy!!
It's so heavy!!
It's not a thousand jun, it's not ten thousand, it's not a mountain, it's not a vast building.
But it seems that the "weight" of this world space, at this moment, is all pressed on this finger of Kao, the "point" of the point!
And when this point poked at himself, Clark seemed to feel that the whole world was collapsing towards him!
At this moment, there was no distraction in his heart, and there was only one sense: this was obviously just a point, but in front of this point, he was so small!
It's so small that I want to be crushed!
When the fingertip poked lightly, a ripple flashed in the air in front of Clark. This is clearly a magical enchantment.
The high-level Patronus magic enchantment, whether it is a magical element or a physical force, can be resisted. This is a must-have skill for top magicians to defend themselves.
And such a high-level magic enchantment is in front of Kao. There was a scene like the scene just now: like air, it would break when you poked it!
The fingertips were almost poked in Clark's chest, and Kao's eyes had gradually calmed, and the trace of solemnity and anticipation had turned into a faint disappointment......
Clark suddenly took a deep breath.
The mage raised his hands.
His movements were slow and delicate, as if he were holding a mirror in his hands, and as if he was holding a heavy object.
At this moment, Clark even had a few cold sweats on his forehead.
Then the movements of the two seemed to freeze suddenly!
Or rather, yes. Clark suddenly moved!
The two of them were close at this moment, and Kao's finger was only a hair's length away from Clark, but ...... But he couldn't touch Clark again!
A millimeter is a moat!
It was as if the slightest distance had suddenly become a heavy space at this moment. In the vast void, this slightest centimeter is the end of the world, and it can no longer be approached.
Kao's finger, even though it carries the "weight" of the whole world, is isolated from the "outside" of another world!
Kao finally showed a hint of fire in his eyes, and let out a soft "huh" in his mouth.
Then the two looked at each other and uttered a sentence almost simultaneously.
"Are you in the world?"
"You're out of this world!"
Kao's eyes darkened. Suddenly smiling lightly, he slowly withdrew his right hand, he usually looked at Clark twice. He suddenly smiled and said, "This is not you." β
Clark was silent for a long time, and slowly stretched out his hands, each of which held a small badge in the palm of his hand.
Kao's eyes narrowed suddenly. After staring at the badge for a long time, he nodded: "This is 'outside the world'." Not yours. β
Clark sighed: "Gifted by the deceased, 'Three-Step Sanctuary'." β
"Three-step Sanctuary?" Kao's face was surprised.
"Three-step Sanctuary!" Clark said slowly, "Of course, you are a member of the Holy Order, but with this badge in your hand, within three steps is my realm, Kao, you can't enter." β
Kao's expression became more and more solemn, he stared at the badge in Clark's hand, stared at it for a long time, and then nodded lightly: "Master Clark, you disappointed me. But it surprised me. I can feel this 'Three-Step Sacred Domain', I can't break it!"
Clark shook his head: "You can't break it, you can retreat quickly!" Great Sword Master, you are an extraordinary person, why should you be involved in this whirlpool." β
Kao shook his head, and his expression seemed to be a little regretful: "I owe people a favor, kill to repay, and have to kill." β
Clark's eyes tightened and he was frowning, but Kao suddenly smiled.
"Dare to ask the mage, how far is the world?"
Clark was stunned: "Outside the rules, there is outside the world." Within the rules, it is within the world. One step away, but also thousands of miles away. Great Sword Master, why bother asking?"
A smile grew in Kao's eyes, and he stared at Clarke, his gaze sharpening.
"Out of the world, out of the world...... Outside the rules! Master, I feel the warmth of being able to appreciate this power today! I have stepped into the Holy Steps, and I have not advanced an inch for ten years, and today your 'outside the world' seems to pierce the fog in front of my eyes. Even if I kill you today, I will be grateful to you in my heart. β
"Oh?" Clark seemed calm, "The Great Swordsman came up with a way to kill me, the power to break this rule?"
"No, I can't. Kao's expression seemed to be very honest, and he said slowly: "The world is picturesque, I broke the rules, and I was in the painting." Your 'three-step sanctuary' is already outside the painting where I am located, and I can't step into it even if I am one step away. I can't break your painting. β
Clarke's expression didn't move, but then, Kao's words made Clarke's eyes immediately show a hint of chill!
"But...... Master Clark, you are not a saint, you stand outside the world...... Yes, stand, many, long!"
When this sentence fell into his ears, Clarke's heart sank!
Kao's eyes fell on his eyes, as if they were like a sharp sword, piercing all his confidence!
Yes, just for those four words!
"You're not a saint!"
You, non, holy, order!
......
At that time, I didn't think I was yet forty years old.
On that day, the Count of Raymond of the Rollin family invited himself into the palace. I met the legendary guy myself. Well, at that time, he was just a child.
That delicate face, weak posture, as if a gust of wind would blow it. In memory, his face was pale and pale.
He was entrusted by Count Raymond to give him magical enlightenment, and I don't know why, when I first saw this child. I have a strange feeling that there seems to be too much hidden in this child's eyes!
Well, that kid is a well-known "idiot" in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, and he can't speak at the age of three. If you can't learn martial arts, you can't learn literature.
When I saw the child's eyes, I also had doubts. At that time, I also had some expectations - how could a person with such eyes be destined to be mediocre?
However...... He has no magical talent!
Yes.
I remember leaving disappointed at the time, just like the other teachers who had tried to teach this child.
I also secretly regretted that the Rollin family had many geniuses. I'm afraid that this generation will be considered severe.
However...... You are wrong, everyone is wrong!
Couldn't be more wrong!
Just a few years later, this boy rose like a comet on the Roland Continent. His name is known from south to north and from east to west, and it is known to women and children. He created zΓ o with his own hands and produced one great miracle after another. became the most shining legend of that era!
This child's name is Du Wei!!
Yes...... Myself, I used to have the opportunity to be this guy's teacher.
He was the strongest note of his time, and he stepped into the Holy Order at the age of twenty. Since then, no one has ever known his realm.
The giant of the orcs bowed down to him, and the elves did not dare to take a step south. The masters among the human race, those Saint-rank powerhouses, are willing to be his demon knights under his command.
And yet for themselves ...... This person who once almost became his teacher, but it seems that he has nothing to do with those great legends!!
Do you regret it?
Regret it. Maybe he really didn't have the discernment, but he missed such a genius disciple.
Or perhaps, such a character was not qualified to be his teacher in the first place.
But with the later years, his achievements became bigger and bigger, and he was in full swing. Occasionally, someone recalls the past and recalls that he, a little magician, once had the opportunity to take him as an apprentice, but missed it because of his dizzy eyes, will he mock and despise him?
Perhaps.
Do you work on your own?
Try! Of course!
As a magician, he has never slackened in his life, and the magic field is as vast as the sea? No, that's not the sea! That's the starry sky!
Vast as the stars!
But with such a vast starry sky, some people can set foot on the other side of the river in one fell swoop. And some people, such as themselves, have struggled and fluctuated in this sea of stars all their lives, but the other side will never be out of reach!
Holy Steps!
Holy Steps!!
One step away, but it has become an eternal regret in my heart!
When I was forty years old, I became an intermediate level, and when I was sixty years old, I stepped into the advanced level. Among the magicians, it can be regarded as the upper middle.
But after the age of 60, he could no longer see the direction of the road.
In this vast sea of stars, let alone stepping on the other side, you can't even see where the other side is!
He is a magician, and his lifespan is higher than that of ordinary people. He practiced undead magic, and after transforming his body, his lifespan was higher than that of ordinary magicians.
Fifty years, one hundred years, one hundred and forty years......
I am struggling in this sea of stars, struggling, struggling!
I thought that maybe one day, the other side of my dreams might suddenly appear in front of my eyes!
Holy Order...... How many people, how many warriors, how many magicians, the name that has been shouting in a lifetime of dreams!
But why do some people can step on it with a light step, and some people can't even find the direction after using all their life's strength?
Are you jealous?
Yes, there were. The young man, who had almost become his own disciple, stood on the other side before he was twenty years old, and then walked straight down, to a place that no one could see.
And he wasted his whole life......
Now, the most brilliant era is gone, and those legends who once shined like superstars have only left their backs for future generations to look up to.
I have lived until now, experienced one emperor after another, and generations of descendants, and I have great respect for myself. But only in my heart can I understand that these reverences are only because I have lived from that era to the present.
It's ridiculous to say, just because you live long?
In people's hearts, they are a member of that brilliant era. But only in his heart did he understand that although he had experienced that legendary era, he had never been one of those superstars.
Just because I came from that era, I seem to be wearing the halo of that era. People revere that era and cherish that era, so they respect themselves very much, and generations of emperors have looked at them differently.
And actually...... I'm not one of those legends at all.
I am just a grain of sand that has been floating and struggling in this vast sea of stars all my life.
A lost man who can't find the other side.
Holy Steps?
The word used to be very close, but now it is getting more and more distant, so far away that it seems to have been almost forgotten!
......
The four words of Kao were like a sharp needle, gently piercing Clarke's heart.
Clark's heart suddenly fluctuated.
And at this moment, this great sword master suddenly smiled lightly.
"Manipulating the power of the mortal body cannot last. Kao said, "Today you will die!"
The next moment, the Great Sword Master had already stretched out his hand again, and a trace of golden light burst out from his fingertips!
