Excalibur and the epee clashed. Powerful forces collided, and a ripple-like wave reverberated through the mountains. The entire region was affected by the battle. Mountains collapsed and the earth shook.
Many martial artists had retreated from Mount Olympus. Only a few who were confident in their abilities remained. James was among them. Though the ripple effects of the battle were destructive, he was an eighth-rank grandmaster too. He was not affected by it whatsoever.
A fierce battle raged on in the sky. Armed with an epee, Lucjan clashed with Koehler who was holding Excalibur in his hand. Even though the epee was duller, it possessed terrifying destructive power. Gradually, Koehler who was holding Excalibur in his hand lost ground.
“Die!”
Lucjan roared.
He appeared behind Koehler at lightning speed, and his epee radiated a hundred lights. Then, the lights converged in an instant, and he swiftly struck Koehler’s back. As Koehler’s reflexes were duller, he was struck by the move. Staggering to the front, he vomited a mouthful of blood. At that pivotal moment, he managed to turn in time and slashed Excalibur.
A powerful Sword Energy burst forward and struck Lucjan. However, Lucjan easily deflected the attack.
“The outcome is determined.”
Upon seeing this, James knew that the battle would be over soon.
Though Koehler was strong, he was still a distance away from Lucjan. The latter had long crossed into the eighth rank. Now that he had absorbed the Spirit Turtle core, his strength had increased by leaps and bounds. His True Energy was so terrifying that Koehler stood no chance against it.
At that moment, Koehler’s face was pale, and blood was dripping from his lips. Excalibur no longer glimmered radiantly. Watching Lucjan in disbelief, he cried out, “Impossible! I possess the Soul of Knights and extracted Excalibur. How are you able to possess such strength?”
He could not believe that an ancient martial artist from Sol would possess such strength.
