They all call me Great Master

Chapter 856 Usurpation III



Kalal's words were light.

But to Joel Colman's ears, they sounded like a thunderclap.

Joel Colman's body trembled.

Even the Spirituality within him shook.

However, it quickly returned to normal.

Joel Colman swiftly surged forward, distancing himself from Kalal, laughing as he spoke—

"Trying to break my mental defense with words?

I have also learned the swordsman's 'Peeping' technique.

And I'm better than you!"

Saying this, Joel Colman prepared to launch a counterattack.

He was just momentarily disturbed by Kalal's words.

This time?

Definitely not!

Just like when he failed the Ascend Step six times.

He attacked the Ascend Step with his sword, failing each time, each time believing he was unprepared, yet each time when he attempted with full confidence, he was just a hair's breadth away.

The feeling is unbearable.

He experienced it six times consecutively!

Enough! Enough!

After the sixth failure, he abandoned the path completely unsuitable for him. A wise person once told him, 'Perhaps by changing paths, you'll find one more suited for you'!

That's what he did.

And then!

He realized he was right!

He was closer to the Ascend Step!

Although he failed once again, he was confident that he would become an Ascend Steper next time.

"I'll make you my last battle before ascending!"

Joel Colman said slowly.

But as soon as he spoke, he realized something was wrong.

Or rather accurately, Jimte stood at some distance, watching him with a look of pity.

Pity?

Joel Colman was puzzled.

Instinctively, he lowered his head.

There was a scar on his chest.

No!

It's not accurate to call it a scar; more like a red mark.

The red mark was narrow, as if scratched by a fingernail.

But Joel Colman's face turned pale.

His heart!

He no longer had a heartbeat!

His heart was gone!

Instinctively, Joel Colman turned to look.

Kalal lifted his right hand, tossing a fresh red heart up and down, his gaze sharp and focused on the Glyphic Language on the wall of the heart.

Then, disdain appeared in his eyes once again, along with...

Disgust!

It was the kind of disgust one felt when seeing something dirty.

"Just because of some praise, you think you have Swordsmanship Talent.

Then, abandoning your longsword because of others' gazes.

Hah.

A guy like you deserves to die."

Saying this, Kalal looked at Joel Colman, his hand suddenly exerting force.

Snap!

The heart shattered.

"My heart!"

Joel Colman exclaimed incredulously.

Joel Colman was certain that just at that moment, his Spirituality briefly flickered into chaos, but it was only for an instant, something ordinary people wouldn't notice.

Could Kalal seize that instant?

Joel Colman couldn't believe it.

Even at the height of his Peeping in swordsmanship, he couldn't achieve it.

He couldn't do it, why could Kalal?

Impossible!

Joel Colman denied it in his heart.

But reality wouldn't change.

"Your heart?

Someone like you doesn't deserve to have a heart!"

Kalal said, stepping to the side, and pulled Joel Colman's longsword from the ground. As soon as Kalal's hand touched the longsword, it immediately hummed.

It was—

A pleasant hum.

The hum had a sense of familiarity.

As if seeing someone awaited for a long time.

This scene made Joel Colman fall to the ground.

"How is this possible? How is this possible?"

Muttering, Joel Colman's eyes widened, dying with no peace.

Kalal, however, carefully sheathed the sword and placed it at his waist—the position of the two longswords didn't change, only placing the sword slightly lower on the left side.

This wouldn't make Kalal uncomfortable.

From a very young age, Kalal hoped he could wield eight swords simultaneously.

He practiced a lot for this.

Although he ultimately failed, he thoroughly mastered the posture of wielding swords.

"You won't Ascend Step anymore, will you?"

Jimte asked, frowning from the side.

"No.

It's just that I have the advantage against someone who has lost their Sword Heart."

Kalal explained.

Jimte remained skeptical.

"Sword Heart?

I think it's Sword Body!

The Ainhars Family's Sword Body!

Didn't expect you to have awakened the family Bloodline Talent!"

Jimte exclaimed admiringly.

Kalal wouldn't further explain this.

He found it hard to explain to someone who hadn't genuinely practiced swordsmanship how he achieved a unique ability — by honing his Basic Swordsmanship to the extreme, breaking through, honing to the extreme again, and then continuously breaking through, he gained a unique ability. Faced with those wielding swords, or at least those who considered themselves sword wielders, he could effortlessly see their "flaws," especially in the latter; he could even see their "death points."

Even if they weren't sword-wielders, he could faintly see it.

He called this ability "Sword Heart."

An existence completely different from "Sword Body."

He glanced at the "death point" on Jimte's body; compared to earlier clarity, it now became faintly visible again.

By common sense, death had become distant from Kalal.

They were safe now.

Of course, not everything could be explained by common sense.

For example: their mentor.

In Ainhars presence, Kalal saw no "death point."

It wasn't that there was no death.

On the contrary, unparalleled death surrounded Ainhars, like standing there meant "death."

Yet, Ainhars wasn't "death."

Not "death," but commanding "death."

The contradiction created an unprecedented domineering aura that gave Kalal a sense of fate-like belonging; he wished to pursue such dominance, but before he could reach it, he saw it in Arthur, a domineering aura beyond imagination.

Thus, Kalal willingly submitted to Arthur.

Of course, Kalal wouldn't explain these things to Jimte.

He's not some idle socialite finding a confidant to pour her heart out.

He would only ask the most beneficial question to solve the current situation—

"What next?"

"Of course, find a safe place to hide and wait for Hayes to send us the 'signal.'

"Jimte said, the corner of his mouth curving.

The young noble had already thought of a completely safe place.

Kalal thought of it too.

The two exchanged a glance and vanished into the alley.

However, neither noticed a hawk flying overhead.
