CHAPTER 1112: CHAPTER 826: TIME SWORD SKILL

If it were someone else, they would undoubtedly be joyfully leveling up, but compared to the boost from leveling up, the growth of increasing basic abilities by only a few stages is not significant and can be entirely discarded.

But Reiger certainly wouldn’t do that.

With the heavenly skill [Fool’s Obsession] in his possession, his potential is almost limitless. Reiger has always leveled up only after reaching the maximum SSS level in all abilities for the first seven levels, which has resulted in his incredible potential and the ability to superimpose various combat development abilities. Now, even under normal circumstances, he can challenge higher levels.

Therefore, Reiger naturally wouldn’t abandon this advantage for just pursuing stronger power and neglecting important accumulation.

As long as each level is practiced to break the limits, as the level gets higher, the potential Reiger has accumulated will also become more terrifying.

Right now, it’s a one-level surpassing under normal conditions; in the future, it could be two levels, three levels, four levels, or even more.

Considering this, Reiger rejected the direct upgrade almost without hesitation, putting his ability values into standby mode.

Only after practicing the five major basic abilities to their limits would Reiger choose to level up and enter a new phase, transforming once again.

Of course, even at the current level, defeating Redson, such an Lv.8, is no longer a difficult task for Reiger.

Hence, Reiger remarked as such.

"How is that possible..."

Redson still seemed a bit unwilling to accept, tightly gripping his long sword, staring intently at Reiger.

After a while, Redson took a deep breath, and his expression changed to seriousness for a long time before raising his sword.

Seeing this, Reiger said nothing, just smiled faintly, and slowly walked towards Redson.

"Hu!"

Just at the moment Reiger took a step, Redson, as before, appeared in front of him as if teleporting.

His old face was fierce, and the slash of his long sword actually created a faint crack in the space.

"What is this...?"

Reiger’s calm expression was immediately replaced by a trace of surprise, and the translucent gleam in his eyes flickered, capturing every detail of this incredible sword.

In Reiger’s transparent world, he clearly saw Redson’s sword continuously accelerating, and the acceleration was very unnatural, causing the surrounding space to slightly fluctuate.

"No, it’s not space."

"Time."

"This is the fluctuation of time."

As a Magic Singer who can use Time Magic, Reiger instantly recognized the essence of this phenomenon.

Redson Alleyman, the old Sword Saint, actually practices a top-tier sword technique that can accelerate the flow of time.

"Clang!"

As fast as thought, upon recognizing the essence of Redson’s sword strike, Reiger swiftly drew his sword in 0.01 seconds.

"Boom!"

Lightning erupted from his body, and Reiger reached the state of utmost acceleration under the Breath of Thunder, unleashing the fastest draw strike ever—[Lightning Flash].

"Clang!!!"

In the sound like a bell of steel collision, the Thunder Slash collided fiercely with the Time Slash, releasing a tremendous power shockwave that swept everything around.

In an instant, the shockwave trembled like a storm, lightning darted wildly like snakes, and sharp Sword Qi flew everywhere, affecting both Reiger and Redson at close range.

Reiger was fine, relying on his high "Durability" parameter and a magical-made outfit comparable to second-level armor to withstand all the incoming Sword Qi.

Redson was not as fortunate, several wounds were opened instantly on his body by the flying sword light, bleeding.

Surprisingly, shortly after bleeding, the wounds on Redson’s body started to shrink, scab quickly, and eventually disappeared.

Seeing this, Reiger understood.

"You have mastered two top-tier sword techniques?"

Reiger looked towards Redson opposite him.

Redson didn’t reply.

Unlike others who only practiced one top-tier sword technique, he indeed practiced two top-tier sword techniques.

The first top-tier sword technique he practiced was granted to him by the former King, the master he served back then, after he possessed advanced Swordsman-level strength.

It is an extremely precious and powerful top-tier sword technique that the Ginas Kingdom obtained during its founding years, recorded on a special magic crystal, which would shatter once someone successfully learned it.

In other words, only one person can learn this top-tier sword technique.

After obtaining the sword technique, since no one was able to meet its learning conditions and to learn it successfully, the Ginas Kingdom stored it in the treasure vault waiting for a destined person.

Redson was fortunate to enter the kingdom’s treasure vault with his master’s permission, obtained this sword technique, and eventually learned it successfully, becoming a powerful Swordsman mastering the Time Sword Skill.

With this Time Sword Skill, Redson didn’t know how many Swordsmen of the same level he killed and even, before becoming a Sword Saint, killed a Sword Saint of the Leiblu Kingdom, gaining great fame.

It was also after killing that Sword Saint that Redson gained a high status in the Ginas Kingdom, quickly standing out among a group of the kingdom’s Sword Saints after becoming a Sword Saint, even overshadowing the previous generation Sword Saint of the Bolelei family.

The second top-tier sword technique Redson practiced was obtained while adventuring in an ancient ruin.

At that time, Hemulinp was just a Prince, the former King was still reigning, and Redson was already nearly 60 years old; his physique had stopped growing, his potential was exhausted, and even his body had started to age and decline.

Continuing this way, he would certainly grow older and weaker until he died of old age... Redson realized his destiny.

Hence, at that time, Redson actually had thoughts of retiring. After finishing adventuring in that ancient ruin, he was ready to resign to the King and return home to enjoy his old age in peace.

But perhaps the heavens never block one’s path, in that ancient ruin, Redson unexpectedly acquired a magical top-tier sword technique.

That top-tier sword technique didn’t greatly enhance combat ability but had a special ability that others dreamed of—Longevity.

That’s right, longevity.

As long as one can successfully learn this sword technique, not only will one’s lifespan increase with the degree of mastery, but one will also possess exceptional recovery ability, vitality, and endurance.

Upon acquiring this sword technique, Redson was overjoyed, spending more than a decade constantly researching and practicing it, eventually mastering it successfully.

Therefore, Redson was able to maintain peak strength at nearly a hundred years old, has not died of old age till now, and has been residing in the palace, guarding the royal family over three generations of kings.

At this moment, the reason why Redson can still stand up and continue fighting is all thanks to the recovery ability, vitality, and endurance brought by this sword technique.

"Defeating me, it’s not that easy."

Redson’s eyes revealed astonishing fighting spirit.

That was the gaze of someone who had once traversed countless hardships, defeated numerous formidable foes, and climbed out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The edge brought by that gaze even surpassed any opponent Reiger had encountered so far.

"Interesting."

The battle intent in Reiger’s heart was quietly ignited.

"If so, let me see how strong the Ginas Kingdom’s strongest Sword Saint, a character who has battled for nearly a century in this world, truly is."

In Reiger’s eyes, the translucent gleam began to carry lightning, making the lightning across his body even more violent.

"Ha-ha! Good!"

Redson also seemed to have forgotten his mission, the task he came here for, and also forgotten to ask Reiger for an explanation, turned into a pure swordsman, with only an opponent left in his eyes.

"Let me also see how much strength the most monstrous genius in the continent’s history has hidden!"

Two swordsmen of vastly different ages ignited their fighting spirits in a duel.

"Boom!"

The next moment, violent lightning and surging Magic Power swept up at the same time.

The room was instantly shaken, unceasingly quaking.
