A person walked in slowly.
The gray robe and silver hair are not as elegant as Arios, but more free and easy than him.
Holding an iron sword that can be seen everywhere, his momentum gradually increased, and he was soon on par with the two sword masters.
He is the former No. 2 executor of the association and is now Rean’s second servant, the Sword Emperor Saber Reinhardt.
"It's not what I asked for." Li En responded happily, "I originally planned to ask my senior brother for advice before asking you for advice."
"Ask me for advice?" Levi was stunned for a moment, then laughed at himself, "I can't teach you anything. My swordsmanship is not particularly good, and what I am good at is all evil ways. You can take the right way, and you don't need to learn from me. .”
"The road does not distinguish between good and evil, the key depends on the user himself." Rean cleverly changed the original words of the "Swordsmith of Light", "There are some things that 'reason' cannot control, but 'Shura' can."
Levi's eyes narrowed upon hearing this, and he moved his eyes away from Rean's face, turning to the "ghost energy" that continuously flowed out of his body and gave Rean powerful strength.
Rean cooperated to increase the output, maximizing the "ghost energy" that had been controlled within the safe threshold.
At that moment, even the sword master felt a little overwhelmed.
Fortunately, Li En took precautions in advance and shouted:
"Emma, Serenu!"
"learn!"
"I will handle it."
The bodies of the witch and the familiar lit up with clear spiritual light, stabilizing Rean's mood and calming down the curse.
After his hair color and eye color returned to normal, Rean continued: "The true form of 'ghost power' is a curse. The more it is released, the more the curse will erode the sanity.
As the 'Phantom Flame Project' and 'Twilight Project' progress, more and more curses will be placed on me. The 'nothingness' granted by the master can only temporarily resist erosion in the form of 'presence', and will still make you lose your mind after a long time.
I asked Markbon before, and he said that you can help me, because unlike him, you can control the 'external principles' in this world. "
"I see."
Levi is not a talkative person, Rean said, and he listened quietly until Rean shut up, then nodded.
"If it's this aspect, I do have some experience. It's just that this road is more difficult to walk than 'reason'. Maybe you will gain more than you lose."
"I have awakened." Rean's eyes were firm. "After all, the whole continent will be plunged into war, and thousands of people will die."
"In this case, this sword is not suitable."
Levi said, letting go of his left hand, and the iron sword, which was made of spirit sons like his body, disappeared.
Then, he reached into the void and took out the missing golden magic sword "Rock Eater" from the gap in space.
The magic sword was drawn diagonally, and Levi took a stance: "Unlike you, Estelle, and Lloyd, I am not good at explaining principles, so I will use actual combat to explain it."
This is exactly what Li En wants to see, a "Please!"
Arios immediately pulled back.
The next second, Rean's body flashed, and the sword was drawn out, colliding with Levi's golden magic sword.
Just one stab made Levi's body tremble.
Rean used the second type, Gale, which he had been immersed in for the longest time.
After the battle with Arios, this type improved again.
The sharpness is not diminished, but the control of power is more subtle, and the transition is more satisfactory. Arios nodded secretly.
The first sword is just a greeting, and the second, third and even more flashes that follow are the key. As long as one sword cannot be guarded, defeat is certain.
When the wind blows, the sword arrives.
Flashing faster and faster, continuously.
The sound of swords clashing could be heard.
However, what is surprising is that in such a fierce attack, Levi did not take a step back. No matter how big the impact was, he always faced the enemy head-on, with his feet firmly planted on the ground, without taking a step back.
This scene is simply unbelievable.
Even if Rean is not in the ghost aura amplification state, his realm of sword master will not change.
It is true that Hayate is not a kata known for his strength, but with his high-speed movement and multiple consecutive flashes, the power superimposed on the sword is no less than a full blow from Alleria's sword.
Even Cassius, who is also known for his strength, cannot guarantee that he can resist without retreating even half a step.
Furthermore, using various methods to eliminate power is one of the most important skills of a martial artist. There is nothing shameful about it. Why does Levi insist on refusing to retreat?
After another knife attack was blocked, Rean stopped attacking. He distanced himself, adjusted his breath, and thought.
Is it the special effect of 'Rock Eater'?
No, Macbon said that 'Rock Eater' is the sword opposite to 'Umbal', and I don't feel the 'reason' that it doesn't belong to this world.
Is it the essence of the Shura realm?
It is very possible that Shura is in a realm that can compete with reason. It cannot be as simple as controlling and manipulating the 'external reason'. There must be something special about it.
Thinking of this, Li En asked:
"Is this Shura?"
"Yes, this is Shura." Levi nodded lightly, "It is not as convenient as 'reason'. It can grasp the essence of things, quickly understand, deduce, and master. What we have is persistence that will never waver."
"Mental power? No, there is something else, something more critical."
Rean thought again of the "Swordsmith of Light", the peak warrior who had the greatest influence on him besides his master Yun Kafai.
He was also a master who paid great attention to spiritual practice. He once held back Markbon in the third stage with the support of his will.
But even the swordsmith of light is not like a stubborn stone like Levi.
"Absolutely not wavering?"
"It seems that you have grasped the key, the absolute will that will never waver, and will never waver under any circumstances. If 'reason' means enlightenment, Shura is stubborn and refuses to enlighten, even if he knows that there is another way to go, he just does not understand. , I will never regret it until my death.”
"..." Li En remained silent.
Levi didn't say anything, just raised his sword and waited.
Yanilas, who was watching from the sidelines, tilted her head and whispered: "It doesn't seem that difficult?"
"Are you qualified to say such a thing?" Estelle poked her friend's waist, "You haven't even decided on Jingyan's style. It's been several years."
"Hmm..." Yanelas, who was stabbed in a painful spot, held her stomach and wailed.
"There are many people in this world who have a strong will, but no matter what happens, they will never waver... I can't do it."
At this point, Arios sighed.
If he could do it, Lloyd wouldn't have been able to pass his test in the first place, let alone save Qia in the end.
You will lose, not because your skills are inferior to others, but because your will is not as strong as the opponent's.
At that time, Lloyd and the support department who fought for Qiya were probably like what Levi said. They were stubborn and would not regret it until death, so they were exceptionally strong. If they continued to ferment, they might really reach a new level.
PS: This is my definition of Shura. One is focused on realistic understanding, and the other is absolutely idealistic. As for why Levi and the seventh sister are Shura, I will explain it in the next chapter.
