LOGINAlthough Charlie's pills were nearly depleted, he felt a surge of confidence.Still, he had no idea what had stopped Barlin's flying sword. In fact, he was completely protected from the seemingly unstoppable technique, Not only that, Barlin's flying sword had been completely shattered, reduced to dust.Moreover, Barlin was already low on Reiki, and had burnt through his essence trying to kill Charlie. Now that he had lost his flying sword as well, the situation had turned completely against him.With Charlie replenishing his Reiki with two pills this time, he now had an absolute advantage in both physical and magical items.Barlin, on the other hand, was in dire straits.He presumed the Infinite Sword would kill Charlie instantly, only for things to turn completely.That was just how things were—a single decisive moment that decides the entire outcome of battle, and thus the war. One can have both numbers and advantage, but one single moment can cancel it all out just like how
The dust in the air was ice shards due to the collision on the ice cap, but it was also fragments of Barlin's flying sword, as well as the vestiges of its clones.Even then, Barlin wasn't aware that he couldn't feel his flying sword because it was completely destroyed.As the polar gales blew and the dust settled, he thought he'd never forget what he was seeing for the rest of his life: Charlie, standing his ground.Despite being far inferior in cultivation—despite his violent assault… Charlie was still alive, while his flying sword was nowhere to be seen!However, Charlie was not in good shape either.His clothes were shredded, and he was bleeding from hundreds of cuts, with the blood coagulating as soon as it hit the polar air that was at least seventy degrees below.Either way, he was a tragic sight.Still, Barlin was gaping at him, and bellowed, 'Where's my sword, brat?!"Charlie looked at Barlin, and then at himself.He was just as shocked as the geezer, but he was calm—w
Barlin found himself unable to comprehend Charlie, but his confusion soon faded as he could feel his triumph at hand.Knowing that Charlie was inferior in cultivation but still beat the four earls, it was clear that his mind was sharp enough to cover for his lack of actual strength. If anything, he could have a ton of cultivation resources like pills and mystic treasures, so Barlin was ready to loot his corpse dry once Infinite Swords destroyed him.He had been burning through his own essence to increase his combat ability, which degraded his cultivation especially after consuming so much Reiki for days now. He urgently needed Charlie's pills to replenish it!On the other hand, Charlie wasn't even fighting back.Barlin's technique was augmented by burning his essence in exchange for Reiki, and Charlie's clothes were shredded even before the swords reached him, his skin flaring up as if it had already been sliced through.Realizing that he couldn't stop it, he didn't try as it'd ju
Even then, the drawback was clear—if the real flying sword hit, it was going to tear through him like he was completely defenseless.It was dangerous, but he was really out of ideas.Barlin himself knew that Charlie's death was assured by his combos, and hence still felt delighted, even though he had burnt through much of his essence. Rearing his head and laughing thunderously, he bellowed just as his flying swords would shred Charlie, "Well, you had your chance! Rest in pieces, brat!"Charlie wasn't afraid because he knew he wouldn't die—having Vera's ring meant the worst for him was merely experiencing the pain of death."You wish!" He snapped back coldly, bracing himself.Planting his rump on the ice, he gathered Reiki all around his body to brace against the countless flying swords, and they reached him in the blink of an eye!It felt like being shot countless times while wearing a bulletproof vest—his guard was tough, but was also quickly being shredded by the countless fl
Barlin thought his strike would maim Charlie even if it didn't kill, and was surprised to see the brat dodge more quickly than expected.It naturally didn't inflict significant damage aside from a flesh wound, which was nothing in cultivator terms.As long as he had sufficient Reiki and healed in time, it wasn't an issue.Even so, it fueled Barlin's confidence, and he laughed viciously, "Lucky you, brat! I'm in the worst state I've ever been for years, or I would have taken your head right then and there!"Charlie shrugged. "Any advantage is an advantage. And considering how you're burning your essence to fight, you'll eventually burn your cultivation to my level if I outlast you!""You were just lucky!" Barlin hollered. "But not this time—or did you think that's all I could do?!"With those words, he directed the flying sword at Charlie, launching it at breakneck speed again.Charlie's only option was interference, and hence kept using Thunder Order while running and dodging.
Charlie never cultivated such techniques, and was naturally caught off guard when Barlin's Reiki suddenly swelled, while the flying sword accelerated with greater power than before!In his panic, he kept launching lightning bolts at Barlin while leaping backward at top speed, concentrating his Reiki at the same time to deflect Barlin's flying sword.Having learned his lesson, Barlin didn't hold his sword and instead directed it with Reiki, keeping it at least five feet away from himself to avoid getting jolted.His reflexes also quickened after he burnt his essence, and it was not that difficult to dodge Charlie's lightning bolts now.As one bolt descended, he dodged away, while his flying sword remained connected to his mind as he pressed his attack on Charlie, as if the bolt didn't slow him down.Charlie was out of options and mystic items that could attack. Neither the Apocalyptic Book nor the Vairocana hand seals were effective for a fight, if not outright unimpressive.Tha

And with those words, Jimmy turned to leave.Despite threatening Matilda, there was no such agreement, and he knew that Matilda was well aware of that.Regardless, the only strategy he had in mind when he came to Oskia was harassment. As such, he simply came up with a lie to make Matilda look ba
