Chapter 227: Permanent Damage to the World
🕑 Added 2025-05-23 11:28:54 +0000 UTCOn the nameless island, explosions erupted, and the entire island cracked apart, sinking into the sea, causing huge waves to rise.
The black space fractures that had formed above the island, however, did not vanish. They remained, emanating a chilling aura.
The power of Ea was capable of creating and destroying the world, leaving permanent damage to it, without a doubt.
Once everything settled, whether it was Paolo and the others, who were stabilizing their positions on the distant sea, or those witnessing it through satellites, they couldn't help but swallow.
The battle of the Campione ended so quickly. Although the scene was not as magnificent as when Blake had slain Poseidon, the lingering black fractures in the air were far more vicious!
And in such a short time, the Sword King’s fate remained unknown! Though they had expected Blake to win, they never thought it would be so quick.
"He hasn't died yet? What a lucky guy."
With silver hair flying in the wind, Blake stood on the only patch of land that was intact. Noticing a faint trace of Doni's presence in the sea, he muttered to himself.
After becoming a Campione, his energy had skyrocketed to a high-tier Satan Class. Converted into close combat ability. Yet, after Doni took his blow, he only spat blood.
He had tried to defeat Doni in his best domain, which is why he had retracted the weapon capable of smashing through everything and used Ea, which could cut through space, alongside his Silver Hand to fight.
Naturally, the result was as it is now—his absolute victory.
Of course, Blake had held back. When he was at the Silva family, his strength was enough to use Ea to crush a Longinus Class Sacred Gear wielding George to grievous injury, even when facing a peak Satan Class Cao Cao. Let alone now, when his power had increased by ten times.
Just now, he had only used a small portion of his strength. If he had used more, Doni wouldn't have been seriously injured, but would have truly died. Even if the Campione's constitution was abnormal, it was the same.
"Now that this troublesome guy is dealt with, I can finally rest."
After composing himself, Blake's energy surged slightly, and the surrounding sea water seemed to be attracted, stirring up. Soon, a water column appeared between the split island.
And at the top of the water column, lay Doni, badly wounded, unconscious, covered in numerous terrible scars.
Seeing Doni in such a miserable state, Blake did not feel any guilt. Instead, he calmly controlled the sea water and casually tossed Doni onto a larger piece of earth floating on the sea.
Having taken care of this, Blake casually walked on the water, controlling the sea to swiftly reach Diana and Paolo.
"Let’s go. By the way, if anyone has time, take this idiot Doni back."
Looking at the stunned Paolo and Diana, Blake said with an indifferent expression.
"Ah, sure."
Upon hearing this, Diana and Paolo were startled and quickly nodded. At the same time, their inner turmoil was overwhelming.
They had just realized that Blake had controlled the sea earlier! Before that, he had also used the power of the storm. Moreover, unlike the Sword King, Blake had not chanted any incantations!
Ignoring what they were thinking, Blake's mind shifted, and the surrounding sea water began to ripple eerily, forming a speedboat made of water.
He then tossed Paolo and Diana onto the water boat, and with a whoosh, disappeared, moving at a speed several times faster than a real speedboat!
"King... that's really unfair..."
Meanwhile, the other seven or eight people, who were floating in the sea, exchanged glances, and were left speechless. Not only had Blake left them there, but he also gave them the task of bringing back the severely injured Sword King—how cruel!
Of course, they hadn’t considered that Blake hadn’t forced them to come. They just wanted to hitch a ride, but that wasn’t going to happen.
.........
After a series of twists and turns, under the awe and admiration of the noble families and influential figures of the Bronze Black Cross, Blake calmly returned to his room, letting the crowd discuss freely.
"Your Majesty, congratulations on defeating the Sword King. Erika is truly excited for your victory."
"I feel the same."
As soon as Blake closed the door, Erika was the first to admire, followed by Liliana, who quickly added her own congratulations.
"This is nothing."
Before Liliana could finish, Blake helplessly interrupted. It felt too strange to be so formal.
"Ah, okay."
Upon hearing this, Liliana, Erika, and Yuri exchanged glances, then awkwardly smiled.
"Lily, Erika, in a few days, I’ll be leaving."
Then, Blake got to the point.
"Your Majesty, have we done something wrong?"
Upon hearing this, both Lily and Erika were startled and quickly asked.
"No, Yuri should also go back. So in a few days, I’ll take Yūri back home. I'll also stop by China. So, for the time being, you should focus on improving yourselves."
Seeing that the two little ones seemed to have misunderstood, Blake smiled and explained.
This reason made Liliana and Erika pause, and while they were relieved, there was also a sense of reluctance.
They knew that no gathering lasts forever, especially since they were still young and needed to improve and focus on learning magic for their association.
"Your Majesty, thank you."
Yuri was also taken aback for a moment, and then said excitedly. She had been away from home for so long, and her family must be worried. Although they had contacted her by phone, it had still been quite a while.
Amid her excitement and joy, Yuri also felt a bit reluctant. Though their time together had been brief, a deep bond had already formed between them.
“Seriously, life is so long. Why are you all feeling so sentimental? You're ruining those delicate little faces of yours.”
Seeing the three young girls, dressed exquisitely like dolls, yet showing expressions as if they were old souls, Blake couldn’t help but roll his eyes. He gave each of them a flick on the forehead and began scolding them.
The sudden pain caused the three young girls to hold their heads and crouch defensively, their movements surprisingly synchronized…
