(6800) 960: Chapter 87 Artificial Soul Completion, The Prelude to a New Era!

(6800) The moment the crimson sphere emerged into existence, both the Mud Bog Titan Viper and some other presence beyond the swamp turned their gaze in surprise toward this direction.

And in that instant, the numerous splashes of mud, which were hurtling like cannonballs, all spiraled within the space, eventually converging in front of Miles, slamming towards him!

Bang!

In the blink of an eye, Miles’s body was sent flying, crashing into a tree behind him, snapping it in half, and then with a thunderous crash, he hit the ground, creating a crater several meters in diameter.

The earth trembled, but the Giant Krait’s eyes widened in shock.

Because it realized that not only was its attack deflected by these Humans, but also…

that seemingly frail little person without a hint of Sublimator’s aura wasn’t killed either!

Dust rose from the crater, as Miles clambered out in a somewhat bedraggled state—his gathered Fine Iron Longsword had already snapped and shattered, and his arm was twisted in an unnatural angle, clearly broken.

But he was still alive, and doing quite well—in Terra, a mere fracture couldn’t cause a permanent injury.

With the physique of an ordinary human, he had withstand the blow of a Second-Level Magical Beast!

Even if it was a casual strike, that defensive power was comparable to a city wall!

“Eh?

He’s not dead?

Had me worried!”

At this moment, from beyond the Black Swamp, a voice of amazement came through, and the Mud Bog Titan Viper no longer had the energy to finish off Miles.

Instead, it turned its head and looked beyond the swamp, issuing a fierce and lofty roar that vibrated the surrounding woods and marsh.

What met the behemoth, however, was a sword strike like a tidal surge.

For a moment, whether it was Miles, other Pioneers, or even the Mud Bog Titan Viper, they all saw a broad and mighty flow of light.

This light was azure like the sea, carrying the moist and surging atmosphere, creating the sound of waves crashing.

Like a high tide rising on the sea horizon, it rolled forward flatly yet irresistibly.

The Mud Bog Titan Viper felt a chilling sensation, as its scales stood on end.

It let out a frenzied roar, and countless mud from the Black Swamp swirled upwards, forming a constantly revolving mud tornado shield around itself, which was then struck by that tidal sword light.

In a flash, time seemed to freeze, as the azure light fluctuated and trembled, as if searching for a weakness in the enemy’s defense.

It found one.

Consequently, the sword light sliced through the Mud Shield as easily as a hot knife through butter, then cleaved across half the sky.

Impaled by the sword light, the Mud Bog Titan Viper stood still in place; seconds later, as the waves dissipated and the Blue Mist faded, it suddenly collapsed, silent.

The lifeforce of the behemoth waned, visibly gravely injured, with no more strength to fight.

“It’s a Sublimator from the Supreme Spirit Sect—”

A cry of surprise emerged from among the Pioneers, and the previously fishing old man seemed to have thought of something; he suddenly said, “Right, I remember now, the head previously mentioned that recently, the Sect would send out Sublimators to help us eradicate the wild beasts of the Black Swamp…”

“But they didn’t say that this Sublimator was so strong!”

Meanwhile, as Miles gritted his teeth to set his bones, he began to understand why the Mud Bog Titan Viper had suddenly appeared and why it only casually attacked them—the Giant Krait had sensed the aura of the Sublimator beyond the Black Swamp, was forced to emerge, and therefore had no focus to spare for these trivial Pioneers!

But more so, Miles was astonished by the Spirit Energy he had just unleashed.

Just now, the crimson Spirit Energy burst forth from Miles was significantly greater than what he had used in the past to protect Cynthia, and he couldn’t quite understand why at the moment.

To say that he valued these colleagues over Cynthia was impossible; there was definitely a condition for triggering his Spirit Energy, and what that condition was…

“Is it the unwillingness to witness everyone dying, or the desire to stop danger from befalling others?”

It was hard to say, but Miles’s instinct told him it was both, each reinforcing the other.

Then, a dozen seconds later, a figure on the outskirts of the Black Swamp arrived at the Pioneers’ location at breakneck speed.

Green Tide glanced at the Mud Bog Titan Viper; this behemoth that he had severely injured with a single sword strike was not weak, just not very smart.

The special ability of the Second Energy Level ‘Sword of Tidebreaking,’ an incarnation of ‘Tide Messenger,’ was the powerful kinetic energy transfer brought on by the resonance through the mist, which bypassed the enemy’s defense to directly damage the core organs.

If the Giant Krait had used its own Flesh and Blood for defense, it might have been able to offset the damage from his sword with Origin Quality, suffering at most a minor wound.

However, it insisted on using a shield for defense, one that was a fluid Mud Shield, resulting in its own force being resonated and siphoned by the Sword of Tidebreaking, ultimately turning it back to wound itself.

This technique of attacking from afar was even more powerful at sea.

The Tide Messenger’s True Form became famous precisely because over five hundred years ago, when the Tara Confederation faced a landing of Sea Beasts and nearly failed to prevent a large enemy force from building a lair due to insufficient troops, the first generation Tide Messenger, under the cover of numerous comrades, plunged into the sea, raised a tsunami with a single sword strike, directly severing the world line, and sounding the horn for the counterattack.

That one sword stroke shattered a vast expanse of land along with the Sea Beast lairs, even causing the continental plate where Whale Song Cliff was located to shift outwards, forming the large vortex zone between Whale Song Cliff’s Inner Sea and the Wandering Sea seen today.

The point from which that Tide Messenger departed became the essential sea harbor ‘Farwhirl Port’ of the Fiery Flame Countries’ Abassalom bloodline today.
