Chapter 497: A Dramatic Encounter!
South Blue Arena, Yamishiti Island.
The area of each Selection Trial island is equivalent to a quarter of the 'Demon Slayer World's' 'Korean Peninsula', and the environmental layout is basically the same.
To the south, towering trees that require two or three people to embrace and stand over ten meters tall are everywhere, forming a boundless green Kingdom.
A large river, fifty to sixty meters wide, separates the Jungle from the arid yellow Sand Sea to the north. Only two Stone Bridges on the west and east sides connect the two ends.
In the Center of the Island is a Lake, surrounded by a ring of grassland. Outside the grassland is a dangerous swamp.
In the Center of the Lake is a Small Island with many fruit trees, and above the Island floats a Sky Island, which is a City filled with Buildings.
[Swish swish swish...]
In the lush 'Ocean' of trees, countless branches and leaves intertwined. The brilliant Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled light spots on the Ground.
And a swift green figure soared through the Mid-air at an extremely high Speed.
The shadow he cast down was like an arrow, constantly passing through the Ground World full of light spots. Gusts of Whistling Sound howled continuously between the tree trunks.
"Open fire!"
Suddenly, an angry shout broke the original tranquility of the Forest.
Seven or eight figures holding Pistols or Rifles flashed out from behind the surrounding tree trunks. Instantly, a large number of scorching Bullets shot out from the Gunfire Flash at the Muzzles.
Their Spearmanship was quite good. Not only did they predict the opponent's forward Position, but they also sealed off the space for the opponent to dodge left or right.
However, the green figure flying through the Mid-air deflected all the Bullets amidst the flashing dense Sparks, and simultaneously bypassed three thick tree trunks to appear behind one of the shooters.
The next moment.
Several rays of light projected down from the branches and leaves above were instantly swallowed by a dazzling white Blade Light, causing the gazes of those few people, filled with panic, to instinctively close their eyes.
"Ah!"
By the time they realized something was wrong and quickly opened their eyes, that person was already decapitated, staining the Ground beneath their feet red.
"Ah ah!"
The next second, another familiar Scream sounded, and a second headless corpse was freshly produced. This caused these ambushers to shoot wildly at the green figure.
But the opponent's flying Speed was too fast, and their movement route was also very strange. No matter how they shot, they couldn't keep up with the movements.
In just under two minutes.
Their temporary group of eight was left with only two trembling survivors.
[Puchi----]
As the green Afterimage flashed past, one of them was cut into three sections by the Blade Light. Finally, only the largest person remained In the Court.
Seeing this, Axel, who had a Physique of nearly two and a half meters, directly threw away the Heavy Machine Gun that had run out of Bullets.
"You stinking rat who only knows how to dart around, have the Ability to fight me head-on!"
Immediately after, he took out a small red Pill from his Pocket with his left hand and threw it into his mouth. With his Right Hand, he took down the bloodstained large Iron Staff from his back, while roaring at the surroundings.
During this process, his already robust Muscles became even more swollen, a large number of bloodshot lines appeared in his Sclera, and his Pupils glowed with a terrifying Aura.
[Swish!]
The opponent seemed to have been truly enraged by Axel's words and flew straight towards him, causing him to reveal a Bloodthirst Smile.
"That's more like it!"
With a Loud Noise, Axel used his free left palm to uproot a large tree beside him, then threw it single-handedly like a javelin.
"Go to hell for me! You flying stinking rat!"
[Roar----]
The thick, ten-meter-long tree trunk instantly burst the Air like Water Spray.
But the next scene left Axel dumbfounded. The green figure spun rapidly in Mid-air. The moment it brushed past the straight-flying tree trunk, it chopped it into more than a dozen pieces like cutting melons and vegetables.
"Damn it, I am Axel, the Lord Axel who will dominate the Otherworld in the Future!!"
At this moment, his eyes were already completely scarlet like blood. The strong sense of crisis produced extreme Brutality. While roaring, he gripped the Iron Staff with both hands and smashed it over with all his Strength.
But the green Afterimage, blurred due to excessive Speed, began to rotate again, and visible Green Whirlwinds emerged.
The moment the thick Iron Staff, suppressing a layer of Air Current, came into contact with the Whirlwind, the green figure had already flown past Axel and was behind him.
Two seconds later.
Bloodlines gradually appeared on Axel's Neck, chest, thighs, and Arms, and the fate of the Iron Staff was no different from the tree trunk just now.
When the remnants of the Iron Staff fell to the Ground, his Flesh and Blood also scattered onto the Ground.
A strong Smell of Blood began to permeate the Air.
And this scene was all seen by a Surveillance Den Den Mushi on a certain tree trunk. This type of Transponder Snail can only transmit Video Feed without sound.
But even so, it was enough to amaze some of the Audience who were paying attention.
As the green figure stopped, his appearance was finally clearly visible.
This was a man with short black hair, black eyes, pale skin, and a very short Physique, but with deep and sharp Gaze.
He was wearing a green Cape, with two strange mechanical devices hanging at his Waist, and holding two extremely thin-bladed Long Sabers in his hands, standing on the branch of a large tree.
"So there are weaklings among the Sea Star People too..."
Levi stood with his back to the Corpses and blood clots scattered on the Ground behind him, narrowing his eyes and muttering in a low voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, he used his Omni-Directional Mobility Gear again to shoot out grappling hooks. His entire body was pulled by a powerful Strength, and he once again flew through the Forest.
Along the way, whether he encountered Participants, Giant Wild Beasts, ancient Dinosaurs, or familiar Pure Titans, he killed them all as if Venting his Killing Intent!
That's right.
The primary reason Levi actively requested Historia to participate in the 'Combat Power Competition' this time was to openly kill the Sea Star People he had long disliked, and incidentally let the World Government witness the Talent of the Ackerman Clan.
"Hmm?"
Not long after Levi left the 'murder scene', he suddenly saw a strange figure flying towards him at high Speed from the front.
Judging from the opponent's movements, it seemed they were also swinging between tree trunks using some kind of purple-black Line.
Before long, he saw the opponent's appearance clearly.
It was a man nearly two meters tall, whose left palm constantly sprayed purple-black viscous rays, and whose Right Hand held an extended Katana.
However, this person's entire body was scorched black, his eyes and chest glowed with Gunfire Flash, and large areas of his body were covered by black armor-like substance, like an undead Warrior from a fantasy World.
"A skill-type Kabane that knows how to use a Blade?"
"Or a special Kabane that has mastered a part of the 'Nue' Ability!"
Levi had already read the Data/Files about 'Kabane' before participating in the Competition, so he immediately recognized the Identity of this thing.
He didn't expect the 'Kabane' the World Government mentioned to be this kind of 'Kabane'.
He had thought they would deploy the most common type...
Inside Noah's Ark.
Im became interested upon seeing such a dramatic encounter and immediately had Levi's Viewpoint Screen Feed magnified onto the central screen.
