Reincarnation Of The Legendary Sword Saint

Hai’s face twisted.

His demonic eyes widened.

Rage surged.

He vanished.

VROOOOM!!

Hai reappeared instantly, rushing at Rowan like a killing storm.

"I’LL KILL YOU WITH MY SWORD!!"

His voice shook the sky.

Then.

His body split.

One became two.

Two became five.

Five became ten.

Ten Hai’s hovered in the air, surrounding Rowan from every direction.

Each one real.

Each one radiating demonic pressure.

Each one holding the same living sword aura.

Hai’s voice echoed from all ten bodies.

"These aren’t foreshadows like yours."

His ten eyes narrowed.

"These are real bodies."

"They’re all capable of killing you."

"And they’re all capable of piercing you."

The air turned cold.

Even Fenrir’s divine fur bristled as he watched.

And Rowan.

Rowan didn’t look worried.

Not even slightly.

He simply lifted his sword.

And smiled.

All ten Hai’s moved at once.

The sky trembled as they advanced forward, swords raised, surrounding Rowan from every direction.

Five of them attacked first.

They lunged at the same time, blades slicing through the air like execution.

Rowan’s eyes didn’t even widen.

He spun.

His cloak snapped violently as he rotated with terrifying speed.

CLANG!!

CLANG!!

CLANG!!

CLANG!!

CLANG!!

Five blades were parried in an instant.

The shockwave cracked the air.

The remaining five didn’t hesitate.

They charged.

Rowan lifted his sword calmly.

Then he slashed the air.

SHHHHNK!!

Pure energy burst out from his blade, ripping through the sky like a wave.

BOOM!!

The five clones on the left side were slammed mid-air like insects.

Their bodies shattered into mist.

They vanished instantly.

Not even a scream.

Hai’s eyes narrowed.

"...So it didn’t even take you anything to defeat them."

His voice dropped.

"You really are impressive."

Rowan smirked.

"Well, I always knew that."

He tilted his head slightly.

"So there’s no need for you to tell me."

Hai’s expression darkened.

"It seems I’ve been having too much fun."

His aura flared violently.

"If I cut you, you regenerate."

He raised his sword.

"But I promise you, this time it won’t happen."

Rowan stepped forward.

Hai vanished and appeared in front of him, slashing instantly.

Rowan blocked.

CLANG!!

Hai’s feet ignited with demonic force as he kicked forward, trying to break Rowan’s guard and overwhelm him.

Rowan didn’t move an inch.

Then.

Rowan’s sword pulsed.

The living blade trembled.

And in the next moment.

It split.

The demonic living sword divided into two.

Hai’s eyes widened.

"What...?"

He froze. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

His mouth slowly opened as he stared at the weapon in disbelief.

"What the hell...?"

He looked at Rowan’s blade again.

"That sword is garbage."

His voice cracked with anger.

"How can a crappy human sword destroy my living sword?!"

Hai stared down at his own weapon, now separated into two halves.

Then back at Rowan.

His breathing turned heavier.

"...He’s trouble."

His eyes narrowed.

"More trouble than I thought."

Rowan’s smirk deepened.

"Are you frightened already?"

Hai didn’t answer.

Rowan advanced.

Hai raised both halves of his divided sword, forcing himself to block.

CLANG!!

Rowan moved again.

Hai tried to dodge.

But Rowan’s blade flashed.

SHHNK!!

Hai’s arm was sliced off cleanly.

Blood sprayed into the air.

Hai’s eyes widened.

His severed arm spun downward.

He tried to regenerate.

But nothing happened.

The flesh didn’t return.

The bones didn’t reform.

The wound stayed open.

Hai’s breathing stopped.

"...What?"

His voice became low.

"Why... can’t I regenerate?"

Rowan stared at him coldly.

"It won’t work."

Hai’s eyes trembled.

Rowan continued.

"Not until you kill me."

His aura pressed down.

"Until then, your regeneration is useless."

Hai clenched his jaw.

Rowan lifted his sword.

"Now."

His voice dropped into something colder.

"...let’s end this."

Hai’s eyes twitched.

Humiliation burned through him like poison.

His demonic veins pulsed.

"I can’t take this anymore..."

His voice trembled with rage.

Then he screamed.

"FULL POWER!!"

BOOOOM!!

Black demonic energy exploded into the sky like a volcanic eruption.

The clouds twisted.

The air turned heavy.

Darkness spread across the heavens as if the world itself was being swallowed.

Hai raised his hand.

The black demonic energy in the air condensed.

It twisted.

It shaped itself.

Then.

A massive dragon-like form appeared.

Not a real dragon.

Not flesh.

Not scales.

Just pure demonic energy molded into the shape of a dragon.

A living storm of black power.

Mist swirled around it.

Its mouth opened wide.

ROOOOOAR!!

The roar shook the forest.

Even the people on the ground, who could barely stand, looked up in terror.

The sky turned completely dark.

"What is going on...?"

Someone’s voice trembled.

"...Is this the end of the world?"

Hai’s lips curled into a smile.

His eyes glowed with pride.

"You think you’re the only one with tricks?"

He pointed forward.

"Now."

His voice became cold.

"My turn."

Rowan’s eyes didn’t change.

He simply raised his hand.

Then he spoke.

"Blue Flame."

FWOOOOSH!!

Blue fire erupted from his palm.

It didn’t spread randomly.

It gathered.

It condensed.

It shaped itself into a dragon-like form as well.

A massive construct of blue flames.

Not a real dragon.

Not alive.

Just flame molded into a dragon’s body, moving like a real beast.

Its mouth opened.

Its burning blue eyes locked onto Hai’s darkness.

The size was the same.

The pressure was the same.

The aura was suffocating.

Hai’s expression stiffened.

His smile vanished.

He frowned.

"...Tch."

Then his eyes sharpened.

"It doesn’t matter."

His voice deepened.

"This time, you won’t win."

Rowan smirked slightly.

"We’ll see."

Both dragon-shaped constructs lifted their heads.

Both opened their mouths.

Energy began to gather.

A swirling storm of power formed inside Rowan’s blue flame dragon.

A vortex of dark destruction formed inside Hai’s black demonic dragon.

The air screamed.

The ground cracked.

Then.

They fired.

BOOOOOOM!!!

Blue flame erupted like a heavenly cannon.

Black demonic energy erupted like a void collapsing.

The two forces collided.

And for a moment.

The world turned white.

A blinding explosion spread across the forest.

No one could see anything.

No sound existed.

Only light.

Only destruction.
