This is a powerful swordsman whom even Flon admits he cannot surpass, and is also the pillar of the Jinas Kingdom.
He is...
"Redson Alleyman."
Reiger uttered the other’s na.
"It’s ."
Redson admitted with a smile.
His deanor was gentle, not at all like the astonishing oppressive aura he emitted, more like a kind and friendly grandfather.
"You must be Reiger Brillhaut?" Redson remarked with a sigh as he gazed at Reiger, "It’s truly surprising, when I saw you not long ago, you were still so immature, yet now, I can already feel a threat from you."
Previously, Reiger had been to the kingdom’s treasury, having had a distant encounter with Redson who was guarding a cabin there at the ti.
No, the two did not even et face to face, they rely sensed each other’s presence through the cabin.
At that ti, Reiger was already soone who could compete with a Sword Saint, but he was only Lv.6.
The Lv.6 Reiger compared to an ordinary Sword Saint, who was like Lv.7, was naturally on par, but compared with the prowess of Lv.8 Redson, he fell far short.
Such was Redson’s qualification to describe Reiger at that ti as immature.
But now, Reiger was already Lv.8, not only equaling Redson but his combat power was even superior.
Under these circumstances, Redson could naturally feel a threat from Reiger.
And at that ti, for the Reiger who entered the kingdom’s treasury, only a few months had passed in this world.
In just a few months, from a naive young Sword Saint to now exuding a sense of threat, no wonder Redson was sighing and surprised.
"So young and with such potential, unlike an old man like whose potential has long been exhausted, it’s truly enviable."
Redson continued to sigh.
To this, Reiger did not even change his expression.
No way.
"You speak of envy, yet are constantly releasing oppressive force, it’s too insincere." Reiger calmly looked at Redson, saying, "And, what did you just say?"
"Let give you an explanation?"
"Do I need to explain anything to you?"
Reiger’s attitude was quite blunt.
Redson’s visitor was unfriendly, and if the other party ca on strong, then he shouldn’t bla Reiger for showing no courtesy either.
And facing such a Reiger, Redson’s expression remained gentle.
"I have served three generations of the royal family, the current King Hemulinp Jinas is the third king I have served, soone I’ve watched grow up."
Redson cast his gaze on the deceased Hemulinp on the throne, with unchanged expression and tone, but the oppressive aura intensified.
"Recently, His Majesty sent a ssage saying he encountered trouble, was frad by an unknown person, had his cognition altered, and mistakenly recognized soone as his daughter, thereby offending you, and the relationship between you beca very tense."
"Additionally, with your targeting of the next heir to the throne, His Majesty confided in that he needed to stay and prevent any unforeseen events."
"Now, His Majesty has indeed encountered misfortune, even Prince Solok is missing, countless knights, maids, servants, and civil officials have fallen on the path you took here."
At this point, Redson once again directed his gaze at Reiger.
"In such circumstances, shouldn’t you give an explanation?"
Upon hearing this, Reiger smiled.
"So, you suspect ?"
To Reiger’s words, Redson rely asked back.
"Shouldn’t I suspect you?"
Clearly, Redson had no knowledge of everything Reiger encountered after leaving Liz’s bedchamber.
Reiger always had a feeling that soone was orchestrating all this behind the scenes.
Soone deliberately created this scene and tid it to cause a clash between Reiger and Redson.
Who exactly was behind all this, Reiger could also guess.
But...
"What if I refuse to explain to you?"
Reiger neither admitted nor denied, nor did he have any intention of explaining, simply throwing out a calm statent.
"..."
Redson fell silent, narrowing his eyes and locking gazes with Reiger, sharpening their stare.
Reiger fearlessly t his gaze, calm and composed, with a slightly cold look still in his eyes.
The two of them stared at each other silently, no words exchanged.
A few seconds later...
"Hoo!"
Redson’s figure suddenly appeared in front of Reiger, his right hand forming a claw, reaching for Reiger’s throat.
His speed was extre, surpassing even the speed of sound. The breaking sound of air arrived almost after the fact, making it seem like a re flicker before the opponent appeared in front of him and his claw was less than five centiters from his throat.
At such speed, over short distances, it was equivalent to teleportation.
Undoubtedly, facing this astonishing speed, even an ordinary Sword Saint would struggle to react, and the sa went for seasoned Sword Saints.
This was a speed that vaguely rivaled and even surpassed that of the [Goddess’s Chariot].
Displaying such speed, Redson’s hand easily touched Reiger’s throat and even... passed through it.
"Eh?"
Redson paused shortly, his expression changing imdiately.
"Afterimage?"
Indeed.
The Reiger before Redson was rely an afterimage left in place.
"Swish!"
Reiger’s true form suddenly appeared behind Redson.
At his waist hung a black blade emanating a scorching aura and mysterious power.
"Crackle——"
Lightning flickered across Reiger’s body.
"Thunderflash."
In the cold voice, Reiger, appearing behind Redson, drew his sword with astonishing speed, delivering a lightning slash.
The blade moved with godlike speed, arriving instantaneously amidst the flashing lightning.
This far exceeded the speed exhibited by Redson, causing his face to darken.
The next mont, Redson also drew his sword, eting the Thunderflash with a speed equal to Reiger’s blade strike.
"Clang!!"
The sound of clashing tal resonated, and the airwaves generated by the collision of the two weapons turned into a shockwave that spread around.
"...!"
Liz and Yuloli reacted simultaneously; one quickly retreated while holding Luna to avoid the incoming shockwave, and the other leaped high, disappearing instantly from the spot.
On the field, only Reiger and Redson remained, both having drawn their weapons, with one surrounded by flashing lightning and the other unleashing magic power that shook and cracked the ground beneath them.
Lightning and Magic Power clashed with each other, locked in a brief stalemate.
Yet after a few seconds of deadlock, the lightning quickly gained the upper hand, crushing the incoming magic power.
"Boom!"
Amidst the dull sound, Redson felt an overpowering force crash into him, sending him flying backward.
"What?"
Seemingly not expecting to be repelled in a single clash, Redson finally widened his eyes.
"Thermal Realm Thunder."
In contrast, Reiger, covered in flickering lightning, stood as steady as a mountain, abnormally calm, his black blade swinging with such force that it released a slash shaped like lightning, thundering towards Redson.
"Boom!"
Redson’s pupils shrank fiercely, and he raised his sword to block, only to be hit by the incoming lightning-shaped slash. With a thunderous explosion, he was blasted away, crashing into a nearby stone pillar.
Imdiately, the stone pillar shattered under the trendous impact, collapsing on the spot and turning into countless rubble that, along with the rising smoke, buried Redson’s body within.
"Crack..."
Reiger slowly sheathed his blade, as if he had just resolved an insignificant enemy, unruffled and composed.
No one knew that today, the strongest Sword Saint of the Kingdom of Jinas, who enjoyed supre honor nationally and was a highly esteed veteran Sword Saint, was effortlessly defeated by a newly appointed Sword Saint who beca one this year.
And he did it with just two slashes.
