"Hehe…" Silent Sword merely giggled. His figure flickered as various sword arcs were formed in the domain. They merged into one another as huge net of arcs was formed.
It solidified further as the net grew to the edges of the domain. This was the sword intent that Silent Sword had developed over the years and right now, he planned on using it against the sea princess.
Seeing the sword intent gathering around in the form of a net, the sea princess frowned. She had some idea of what it was and knew very well that she couldn't let herself be caught up in the net.
Slashing her trident upwards, she controlled the water around her. The water rose in the air while she used her trident as support and jumped high in the air.
With her trident angling downwards, she aimed at Silent Sword and threw it at him.
"Swoooshhh," Slashing the air along with it, the trident flew at Silent Sword while behind it, a huge wave followed.
On the wave was the sea process gliding smoothly. Her eyes were shimmering with a fierce glow as she took out a pair of short swords. The swords clicked and extended further as she slashed them as well.
Right now, the sea princess had decided to go all out and wouldn't leave any stops to let Silent Sword attack her. After all, she knew her level and what position she stood at.
She also knew that if Silent Sword was let to attack her, she wouldn't have any chance to attack back. It was the sheer terror that Silent Sword's strength had put on her.
"Hmph…" Silent Sword grunted. Condensing more sword arcs, he raised his hands and pointed them at the incoming trident. Then, holding his sword tightly, he decided up the game a bit.
[Sword Aura:- Infusion],
As he spoke, a huge wind was stirred as a tremendous sword aura surrounded him. The sword aura converged around his sword as his sword glowed a silvery light.
Crouching slightly, Silent Sword took a stance. His eyes were calm as he looked at the incoming attack like it was nothing. His hands moved slowly, as if it was just a normal slash while his whole body moved in momentum with his attack.
On the other hand,
The sea princess's attack had razed the whole shore to the ground. The trident had cut the air to the extent that small spatial tears formed everywhere while the wave she rode on had also destroyed the defenses set by her men previously.
Right now, the princess had gone mad. All she wanted to do was fight and fight. She didn't even care if she died or anything happened to the shore. For her, fighting was all that mattered.
The blue glow around her intensified, a phantom appeared behind her. The phantom was of a huge scaly being that had a huge neck and slightly flattened head with ferocious jaws that threatened to crush anything under their strength.
It's eyes and an unparalleled arrogance belonging to the dragon kind as it looked down at Silent Sword. It's huge tail slapped across the seabed as it roared into the skies.
This was the Water Dragon belonging to the sea king and right now, the sea princess had summoned it to help her in battle. The phantom solidified as the water dragon stepped onto the human plane.
Being a contracted creature from another realm, the water dragon couldn't remain on Earth at all times and had to stay in it's original dimension.
Well, the matter of summoning and contracting a creature was very complicated and could only be done by experts in the Calamity Realm and above.
The sea princess smirked. Her help had arrived and the Water Dragon being a mythical creature half step above the Celestial Realm would easily finish her opponent.
"Roargghhh," It roared at the top of it's lungs. The waves were stirred as the ocean behind it raged. This was the authority of the water dragon. A simple roar had such an effect.
By this time, the attack reached Silent Sword. The student gleamed a blue light as it gave off a dangerous feeling while the huge wave behind it was nothing less than intimidating.
Silent Sword was still calm. His eyes showed no fear as he slashed his sword and finally completed his motion.
His figure flickered as various after images were formed. The ever simple strike suddenly changed. The calmness was gone as a sharp aura replaced it.
Silent Sword blinked a few meters back and finally breathed. His previous strike took a lot of concentration and calmness as it required him to control every single muscle fiber of his body.
This was his ultimate strike, [Dao Of Calmness; Asunder Strike],
The sword arc suddenly accelerated as it cut the through the air. The space was torn apart as it cut everything in half. The princess's attack was stopped as the trident changed it's course and struck a nearby mountain.
"Booomm" The mountain had a huge hole going through it as various cracked outlined the trident's surface. The slash still travelled forward as it cut the through the huge wave, dissipating it's force as it moved towards the princess.
The princess had her eyes wide open. She never expected her attack to be dealt with so easily. Under the pressure from the slash, she failed to think properly and saw as the slash made its way to her.
"Spurttt…" Blood flowed. The princess saw her vision changing, the sky came into her view as she her hand falling down.
Looking down, she saw the water dragon carrying her on it's back. As for her hand, it was on the ground. The slash had cut it cleanly to the point that not a single drop of blood flowed.
Her expression turned pale. She finally understood why the swordsman was so calm. From the start, she thought of herself to have the upper hand but it was just the swordsman testing her upper limit.
She now understood why he never attacked with full force until now. He might have tested her full strength and decided to let her have a view of his full strength as well.
As for the dragon she called. She just stayed on its back and looked down. Trying to find the swordsman to sort things out. Now that she had realized the difference them both. She knew that she had to tread carefully and deal with him by none violent methods.
"Huh?" She frowned. Feeling someone above her, she commanded the dragon to dive down into the sea.
"Swerve," A slash appeared as Silent Sword had teleported above the princess and slashed down at her. His eyes were calm and his face was devoid of any expressions.
His sword was overflowing with sharp sword aura as he released one slash after another.
Under the onslaught of so many slashes, the princess dodged from left to right. Right now, her expression had changed even further as there was visceral fear on her face.
The power she had borrowed from the sea king was receding and the wounds she had suffered were now hurting more and more.
"Into the ocean," She ordered the dragon as she decided to retreat back to her kingdom.
The dragon complied with her orders as it dived down into the ocean.
"Splash…" The water splashed as a huge wave was formed. The dragon disappeared into the ocean as Silent Sword looked from above.
"Hmphh.." He snorted as the sword aura converged. His figure flickered as he disappeared.
In the ocean,
The sea princess finally sighed in relief. Her shoulder had a high gash running down to her chest as she tried to heal herself by using some healing supplements she had with herself.
"Take this," A voice echoed in the water as her eyes widened. In front if her, stood Silent Sword. The sword was still in his hand as slashed it down at her.
The water stirred as his slash cut the water in half. Seeing the arc move towards her, the sea princess hurried to dodge but it was too late. The slash was almost upon her and even the sea dragon was not able to help her.
After all, the dragon had taken most of the attacks previously and it affected its movements by a huge margin.
"Sigh… so this is my end," The sea princess thought to herself. Seeing Silent Sword's strength, she accepted defeat and was ready to die.
Suddenly, spatial cracks appeared all around the place as the sea princess and her dragon were teleported out of the ocean. They appeared back on the devastated shore.
The sea process looked around in shock. She was happy that she wasn't dead but what had just happened? Who saved her? Had her father decided to come out if the temple? Or was it someone else?
A multitude of questions appeared in her mind as she finally caught a middle aged gentleman looking at her with a kind smile on his face.
"I apologize for my friend's behavior, I am Prometheus. Nice to meet you," The man smiled and extended his hand out in greeting.
