353 SWORD LIGHT THAT FILL THE BATTLEFIELD

And the consequences of being attacked two sides, Aero would probably have to give the order to retreat.

Aero wanted to win this war to establish back his reputation and reclaim back his good name. So, he could not lose this battle.

Even though Antonius had arrived in the battlefield, it is still happening according to plan so Aero is not afraid.

On the other hand, Alexander knew that he had to retreat. But the only way to retreat is across the river. 

There is nothing harder to cross than a river during trying to retreat from the battlefield

Aero could no longer delay. 

He thought that Alexander would be bolstered by Antonius presence in the battlefield and continue battling. Aero di note expect that Alexander would try to retreat.

He quickly shouts

'My sword against yours! What say you!' 

Aero voices echo around the battlefield, that for a moment it drowned the sound of battle before the voice faded and the sound of sword, shield and magic attack colliding against each other once again fills the battlefield

But Alexander is not as naïve as King of Veva. 

Aero reputation as a great warrior without match is well known to the world. And the position of King of Veva and King of Veranis is different. 

At that time King Zeus of Veva was acknowledged as the number one warrior in the world. As such, if he had rejected then the damage to his prestige and majesty would be irreparable.

On the other hand, the situation right now is that Aero is the strongest warrior in the world, the number one War God of Vanheim. 

Not accepting his challenge could not be considered a humiliation instead it could be considered a wise move.

Aero slam his body against the soldier that tries to attack him. He head-butted a soldier shield and the shield breaks. 

He kicks a soldier in the chest, and his chest caved in. He pointed his finger and a hole is formed in one of the soldier forehead

His killing intent spreads further and further that it began changing the skies above his head. 

Reddish mist spreads out from his entire and even the shining sunlight from the sky could not pierce this red mist.

ARHH! 

Aero shouted as he broke through the swarm of men and is running like lightning across the distance. In just a few second he had close the distance between him and Alexander considerably.

In the distance, Antonius saw Aero and he was shocked beyond belief. 

Antonius was one of the young generals that was on the banquet during the celebration party after the War against Vetten

As such, he recognizes the Chancellor.

He rides his horse and orders a few units to split off and held back the Chancellor from nearing their King. 

But from this distance and with Kyle serving as a buffer, this desire of Antonius might not be fulfilled.

Aero is fast approaching, his step become faster and faster as sword glares around him multiplied cutting anyone that come nears him

His hair is also growing longer and his eyes turns to a darker shade of red. Ten soldiers jump in front creating a mini wedge formation to stop him. 

'Get away!' he shouted and Aero swing his sword and the All Encompassing Stance was performed. 

He glided through all the attack and slashes of the enemy while cutting through their hands and feet easily

When he fought with sword, his Sword Conquering Stance would come out, slicing the sword and its wielder into two

A saber user tries to hack him. He dodges to the left and without stopping uses the Saber Conquering Stance. 

The saber was flinged out the hand of that saber user, Aero sword cut the hand nerve of that person and pointed his finger at his back, sword energy flew from the tip of his finger and pierce that man brain. 

Aero did not even to look at his enemies as his eyes is focused on Alexander. 

His speed multiplied, like he is the personification of the concept of speed of the lightning itself

One could only see a blur when he is running across these many people. Like a shadow, he would pass them and his sword glare would follow him.

When he strikes, sword light would appear and flashes by in a second before dissipating and claiming the life of Veranis soldiers.

Magic was hurled onto him and Aero uses all the moves of the Divine Sword technique.

With the energy Conquering Stance, he even absorbs the power of the magical energy that was unleashed after the mage attacks him. 

His energy did not fall even one bit and he is careful not to make his ankle exposed to powerful fluctuation of energies. He uses his body to take on such attack.

And then he saw Alexander in the distance

Alexander is riding his horse, retreating as far away as possible. 

With the current speed in just a few second Alexander would reach the river and he would miss the chance to kill the King here and end the threat once and for all. 

Aero did not care about the soldiers 

He cares about Alexander.

And then he smiles. Because his chance has not yet ended., he still has a chance to stop Alexander.

'I guess I have to use that skill again' he raises his sword and then he shouted. 

'For the Empire!' 

A powerful energy surrounded him. A spiral of energy swirls around his entire body and the wind around him become harsh, the clouds above his head turns dark.

'TAKE THIS!' he yelled. Even though he no longer has the Divine Roar since he had used the quota for today, his roar is still loud enough for every person around the battlefield to hear.

Kyle, Quentin, and the tens of thousands of soldiers look toward that area and what they see shocked them.

They saw the dark skies and saw the spiraling energy that become visible to their eyes. Kyle was reminded of that scene he saw during Purgatory and he knows that Aero might overspent himself after this.

'Charge faster!' he yelled to his soldiers. 

Quentin follow suit as he strengthens his charge toward the enemy. Aero did not yet swing down his sword down but the energy that is spiraling over him could be seen from a distance.

This is his trump card. Slashing Through Life and Death. It is an achievement skill and probably one of the most offensive and largest area of effect attack skill that Aero had.

He had used it before during Purgatory but this skill had never made it debut in the Vilajeri Continent.

On Aero sides, the ground beneath his feet cracked before becoming depressed. And then the surrounding grass withered as their life energy was drained off by the killing intent.

HARGH! He roars and then he brings down his sword

And a sword light fills the world.
