Chapter 576: The Arriving Fire Support!
“Thunder Breathing, Second Form, Rice Spirit!”
“Tempest Kick!”
“Flame Breathing, Second Form, Ascending Blazing Flame!”
“Look at my Poison Snake Jet!”
“Shave!”
“Grasshopper Random Kick!”
Above the snow-fluttering Frozen Soil Battlefield, various shouts, roars, and bellows, mixed with the names of various Sword Techniques or Martial Arts, filled the space amidst the Flames, Lightning, Vacuum Blades, and rapidly darting Afterimages.
The rapid Gunshots continued to ring out, the whistling of flying Cannonballs, and the Roar of Explosions upon impact, rang in everyone's ears.
Everywhere were the remains of Flame Rabbits, severed limbs of Giant Crabs cut in two, and the Wreckage of Tanks long since destroyed in the burning Flames, yet still more of them were locked in mutual slaughter.
Blood Aura permeated the air, Killing Intent surged, and corpses lay everywhere.
The World Government's Main Combat Battalion of the Army, the Imperial Army's Beastman Squad, and a small number of Imperial Fist Temple Disciples were likewise locked in fierce combat amidst the Bullet Rain.
They were intertwined, the fighting devolving into a massive Chaos!
Screams and wails were everywhere.
“Order the Second Battalion to go up and Support the First Battalion!”
Onigumo, Expressionless, gave Orders to the few people behind him. He noticed that these suddenly appearing 'Zoan Users' on the enemy side were very much like 'Zoan Users'.
These people had very strong Life Force and Self-Healing Ability. Even if hit by a Breathing Style Sword Technique, as long as their Heads weren't directly severed, the impact wasn't significant.
Weren't they just Zoan Users?
In other words, the enemy had essentially sent out a thousand Zoan Users. Although they were just a group that hadn't undergone Awakening and seemed only able to maintain their 'Human-Beast Form'.
But this was already enough to suppress one of the Main Combat Battalions on the Battlefield.
“Furthermore, Order the Third and Fourth Battalions to lead three thousand Auxiliary Army Soldiers and fifty Tanks to attack the enemy's left Front Line. The Fifth and Sixth Battalions are responsible for the right Front Line!”
“Yes!”
Onigumo ignored the Colonel who was quickly going to relay the Orders behind him. His deep Gaze passed through the chaotic Battlefield in the middle, looking towards the Fortress City of considerable Scale, a terrifying sneer appearing on his face.
“I'd like to see what else interesting you can bring out!”
Meanwhile.
In the Battlefield between the two sides' Trenches.
Izo, an Army Lieutenant General of the Imperial Army from Eastern Divine Harmony Island, after casually cutting down several Black-Clad Soldiers who tried to Intercept him along the way, finally approached within about fifty meters of Rear Admiral Morizo's Position.
“Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes! The Blood of an Otherworld Expert! 'Kōsetsu', you must be very Excited right now too!”
Izo's face was full of Excitement, feeling the Hot Blood within his Body boiling. His Speed of rushing forward grew faster and faster, and his calloused Right Hand was loosely placed on the Sword Hilt.
Forty meters, thirty meters, twenty meters...
“Die!”
Izo erupted with all his Speed, and his entire Body instantly vanished into the Air.
But from his Viewpoint, he only felt all the Footage around him flying backward at an unparalleled Speed, the Air he tore through whistling in his ears.
The next moment, his Right Hand gripped the Sword Hilt, he exerted force, and shouted in his Heart: “Iai!”
[Shing!]
The Blade was drawn, Blade Light flashed, transforming into a streak of ultimate White Light that instantly cut through Rear Admiral Morizo's Body.
The next second.
With a swish, Izo stopped his movement, his back facing the Opponent who was already dead in his Eyes. Red light of Killing Intent flickered in his Eyes, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved up.
He was certain he had cut the Opponent's Neck. Therefore, at this moment, the Opponent should have already...
“Hmm?”
Izo's Expression changed drastically, because he noticed that the Aura of the person behind him showed no signs of weakening in the slightest.
“Your Speed in all aspects is good, you have the level of a Sword Master. However, your Blade is too weak, it's like tickling~” Rear Admiral Morizo said teasingly, scratching his Neck where he had been cut.
Actually, he had deliberately taken this cut. Otherwise, under the Ability of Observation Haki, the Opponent wouldn't have been able to touch him at all.
However, this was Rear Admiral Morizo's Personality.
He was full of disdain and discrimination towards these Otherworlders, simply not believing that he could be injured by the Opponent's Blade. His 'Armament Haki' and 'Iron Body' weren't made of Paper, after all.
“How is that possible?”
Izo, who had turned around, was full of astonishment. The Touch Sensation feedback from the Blade just now had indeed indicated a hit, so why was the Opponent completely unharmed?
He had always liked to use Human lives for Blood Sacrifice for his 'Kōsetsu', and he most preferred to achieve the Effect of killing with a single cut at the fastest Speed.
Therefore, that cut just now had definitely used his full Strength.
“Since I took one cut from you, you should also take one cut from me. That's only fair!”
“Isn't that right, Otherworld Sword Master~”
Hearing Rear Admiral Morizo's words that seemed like teasing, Izo's Heart felt heavy.
But he calmly replied on the surface: “That would be my honor.”
“However, esteemed Strong Otherworld Sword Master, could you grant me an impolite Plea?”
Rear Admiral Morizo asked curiously: “What is it?”
“If I fall in battle, I humbly Plead that you accept this Meito 'Kōsetsu'. I beg of you!”
Izo's Attitude was very solemn.
Although only one cut had passed, he could still Feel that the Opponent's Strength was greater than his own.
Then, he would very likely be unable to withstand the Opponent's next cut.
Therefore, he could only seize the current opportunity to speak his last words.
Because he had always Hoped that the next Master of 'Kōsetsu' would be a swordsman capable of cutting him down.
This led him to say similar words every time he fought against a swordsman.
It was just that every time he finished speaking, his Opponent would be cut down by his single Blade.
He Hoped this time would also be similarly without mishap...
“An Otherworld Meito, huh? Interesting. Alright, I, Rear Admiral Morizo, Sword Master of the Army Headquarters, accept!”
Rear Admiral Morizo had no reason to refuse. Even if that 'Kōsetsu' didn't have the quality of a World Meito, he would still keep it as a war trophy to remember the battle by.
“Thank you. Then, please enlighten me!”
Izo gripped the Sword Hilt with both hands, the Blade pointed forward, focusing intently on every Muscle change of Rear Admiral Morizo.
Perhaps the Duel between the two Sword Masters formed an inexplicable Aura.
At this moment, truly no one or Cannonballs came over to affect them.
[Shing!]
The familiar Sound of Drawing Sword rang out again. In the blink of an eye, as Blade Light cut through the Air, Rear Admiral Morizo appeared three meters behind Izo, also with his back facing the latter.
Izo's Gaze first showed confusion. When a line of Blood appeared on his Neck, he finally realized he had been cut by the Blade.
Immediately after, the World spun.
With a thud, his large Head fell onto the Frozen Earth covered in Shell Craters and Bloodstains. The last Screen Feed he saw was 'Kōsetsu', still tightly gripped in his Right Hand.
“How wonderful. Your next Master is very Strong.”
Meanwhile, Nahas, who was commanding from the rear, stared dumbfounded at the scene in his Telescope: “How is this possible? Army Lieutenant General Izo couldn't even withstand one cut from the Opponent?”
The Opponent didn't seem like some Higher-up, after all, what true Expert would be the first to lead the Troops in a charge!
But the facts were right before him. What should they do next?
Just at this moment.
In the Sky behind Nahas, specifically from the southern Sky, dense Rocket Missiles flew over. They dragged trails of bright tail flames, fiercely bombarding the rear of the enemy's Front Line.
This made his Eyes light up. These were 'Hatsue Flying Body' multiple Rocket Launchers.
“Admiral Bulat's Fire Support has finally arrived!”
