Chapter 239 - Episode Thirty-Six - The Collector (7)
This chapter is updated by wuxiaworld.eu
As I face the collector, I check Mea behind me.
I saw Altamir fly softly and hold Meaâs back, then fly far behind her.
Iâm jealous of the fact that a spirit body seems to be a very convenient body.
âTake out the âWand of Destructionâ. Where did you hide it? If you have the girl carry it, I can wait for her to take it out. I could defeat you as you are, but that would be too boring. Perhaps you can strike a blow at me.â
âAh âŠâŠ No, Iâm fine without it. How should I say this âŠâŠ Look, Iâm fine. Itâs just that âŠâŠ is not something I can use very easily.â
In order to avoid the realization that I didnât have it, I quickly explained that I did.
The collectorâs face twisted even more. The bandage covering his face wrinkled up and his eyes became even angrier.
Apparently, he felt like heâs being made a fool of.
âItâs not that I canât manage without it, but âŠâŠâ
âOh, yeah! Then leave!!â
The collector swings down the âEarth-Shattering Swordâ that he lifted high.
The ground cracks as if it started right in front of the collector.
The floor cracks loudly with a roaring sound, and the impact comes straight at me, destroying everything in its direction of travel.
I waved my wand in front of me, checking the location of the impact as it scraped across the ground.
âEarth, form, dragon.â
The floor cracked, and one by one the wreckage rose up into the air.
In the blink of an eye, a dragon several dozen meters long appeared.
I ran to keep my distance so as not to get caught.
The dragon coiled and caught the impact of the âEarth-Shattering Swordâ. There was a large sandstorm, but the dragon didnât seem to be injured.
âI-Impossible âŠâŠ! Why, why is it that someone with a small aura like you can perform magic on such a large scale!?.â
A collectorâs voice could be heard from the other side of the dragon.
âOkay, keep hitting it!â
If you are a collector, this is probably nothing to you.
I donât have the time to worry about it, so Iâll just attack when I can.
When I lowered my wand while moving away from the dragon, the dragon followed the path of my wand and jumped at the collector headfirst.
âGuh âŠâŠ So-, Something like thisâŠâŠ! Iâll show you the essence of this sword!â
The collector slashed his sword in a cross.
A cross-shaped shockwave flew towards the dragon made of rubble, raising a dazzling light.
The dragon rolls its head and puts its arms out in front of it to guard. In the aftermath, the floor in the area was bare, but there was no change in the dragon.
I was standing behind him, and I didnât feel any particular impact.
The dragon immediately opened its arms and stretched its neck. Its head destroyed the floor where the collector was standing.
I thought I had won, but on top of the dragonâs head, I saw the collector pointing the blade of his sword downward.
âFu, fufu âŠâŠ I thought it was too warm, but Iâm glad I kept it at this level. Itâs a good thing Iâm not the only one who gets carried away. I can understand why you might be mistaken. But youâre not far behind me!â
The collector thrusts his sword into the dragonâs head.
The shockwaves that are created center around the collector.
The dragonâs head is pierced and cracked, and its jaw is sunk into the floor.
The bandage on the collectorâs mouth moves, probably to hang up the edges of his mouth.
I took out the hilt of the Lapides Sword from my pocket, shook it lightly from side to side, and put magic power into it.
A long blade of magical power appeared.
The blade was too heavy for my hands, so I threw it into the air and let it float.
âHaaaaaaah!â
I heard the voice of the collector, so I looked up.
The collector was in the process of flicking the dragonâs tail off of the approaching rubble with his impact.
The dragonâs tail, bounced by the shockwave, slams its side into the floor.
âŠâŠ Itâs not as powerful as I thought it would be.
At first, itâs supposed to be a shield, and if it doesnât break Iâll make it charge to see things.
Huh, is that it.
No, itâs probably just a start.
I canât afford to let our guard down âŠâŠ but I need to see how serious the collectors are before I make any careless attack.
Iâll have to wait and see what happens.
âThere, go!â
I set my sights on the collectorâs left shoulder, formed a magic circle, and launched my Lapides Sword.
In a straight line, the Lapides Sword flew.
âNnraaaaaa.â
The collectorâs two-handed swing destroyed the tail end of the rubble dragon.
And then the collector glared at me.
ââŠâŠ Well, youâre next. Iâm a little surprised, but it looks like youâre stuck with this one. âŠâŠ Mmm? Whoa!â
The collector kicked the dragonâs head away from the Lapides Sword and crisscrossed the air.
A shockwave of shining wind is created and strikes the Lapides Sword.
The Lapides Sword penetrated the shockwave and flew over the collectorâs shoulder.
âWha-! Damn it!â
The collector raised his sword to guard.
The sword deflects the Lapides Sword and sticks it into the floor.
The collector was knocked off his feet and fell to the floor.
âWha-What was that just now âŠâŠ Did I just lose in power struggle?â
âHuhâŠâŠ?â
Can it be that I can win this normally by power pushing?
âUm âŠâŠ Can I go now?â
I give it a try.
The collector was still, crumpled on the floor.
âThe-, thereâs no way âŠâŠ Even if you caught me by surprise âŠâŠ with both elbows on the ground.â
The collector, with bloodshot eyes, reached for the sword of the âEarth-Shattering Swordâ, which he had dropped on the floor.
The âEarth-Shattering Swordâ cracked and snapped in half as soon as it was placed in the hands of the collector.
âOh âŠâŠâ
The rule should be that he would fight only with the âEarth-Shattering Swordâ.
With it broken, I think that weâre now unable to continue.
You can fight with the broken sword in your hand, but itâs just too shabby.
âMy collection was shattered so easily âŠâŠ Wha-What the hell is that sword. This is impossible. âŠâŠâ
He crawled on the floor in a stunned position and did not move.
The collectorâs eyes changed color as he slowly moved his face to look at the Lapides Sword that had been thrust.
âWha-What is that swordâs aura? If there is such a treasure, how could I not know about it âŠâŠ?â
Itâs no wonder that the collector doesnât know about it, since I created it by modifying the Lapidestatoa.
