Chapter 31
Chapter 31: The Sword of the Grand Swordmaster? An Imitation!
The powerful aura of life emitted a strange light.
It was emitted from the Sunken Square.
William would not have felt anything weird if it was any other time, but now it was not what it should be because that was where the strange gopher monster was located. And that powerful aura of life, could it be that the strange gopher had come back alive from the dead?
It seemed that the Dragon Breath was effective. But the gopher’s life aura was too powerful. It would be difficult to kill it with one Dragon Breath.
The vibration became more intense as the life aura became stronger and stronger., The gopher’s head appeared again when the life aura reached its peak.
William could not help but curse silently upon feeling the strange gopher’s aura.
Because not only had his life aura recovered to its peak, it seemed as if it was not injured.
Even its aura had changed. It was a Supernal Rank that had not broken through the Earth Rank just now, but it had already broken through to the Earth Rank.
“This monster! How could it have broken through after being resurrected once?”
William pursed his lips and secretly circulated his spiritual energy. He could only use Dragon Breath two more times with his current spiritual energy.
It was difficult to burn it to ashes with the Dragon Breath. It would be difficult to break through its defense even if he died of exhaustion if he did not rely on the Dragon Breath and only used his strength to fight.
However, using the Dragon Breath did not seem to be of much use either. It still had such a powerful life foundation even if he managed to block its fur from defending. If it could come back to life again after being killed, how could he kill it?
“I don’t believe that you can continue to come back to life!”
William scolded and slowly walked towards the gopher.
“William!”
Vilya shouted.
William turned around and saw a flash of spiritual light from Vilya’s body. A black longsword appeared in her hand.
She threw the longsword that she had just summoned from her portable space towards William.
“Use this!”
William raised his hand and caught the longsword. The longsword landed firmly in his hand. However, when his hand touched the longsword, a surprised expression appeared on his face.
“Is this…the sword of the Grand Sword Master?”
William had been in this world for a long time. He knew that there were not only Supernal Ranks with different abilities, but there were also legendary mages and swordmasters.
However, the latter two were too mysterious. William had only heard of them in books and legends and had never seen them himself.
However, the descriptions in the books were enough to surprise William. Forget about the mages for now. Swordmasters relied on a sword to train themselves and were comparable to Supernal Rank. There was only one sentence in the books about their cultivation method: Raise a sword, making the sword strong, and the owner will be stronger.
The most powerful swordmaster was naturally one grand swordmaster. It was said that he was like gods and demons, standing at the peak and overlooking all living things.
The rest could also be called sword masters, but there were also differences in strength. William did not know the details.
However, he had heard that every person in the Sword Master Clan had a sword. The swords they raised had extraordinary abilities. They could cut through gold and silver as easily as cutting tofu.
As for the sword that Vilya threw at him, William sensed a powerful and sharp edge as soon as he held it in his hand. That made him instantly associate it with the swordmaster.
Vilya stuck out her tongue embarrassedly and said a little awkwardly, “What are you thinking? The Sword of the Sword Master Clan never leaves them. It will be taken back even after death. This is just a replica, but it’s extremely sharp. I see that the monster’s fur is thick. Use this to cut it open!”
William finally understood that it was a replica. But after a moment, his expression became nervous again.
Just a replica was already so sharp. What if it was the real one? What if it was the sword used by the Grand Sword Master? What kind of sharpness would it have? He felt that it would reveal its sharpness and sword aura as soon as it was unsheathed.
As expected, the current him was still too weak. He still needed to work harder than those experts and gods who stood at the peak and looked down on all living things!
He would start with this gopher for now!
William frowned slightly as he looked at that strange gopher.
“Cut off all obstacles in front of me.”
He swung his long sword and drew a sword as he walked towards the gopher.
“Ah!”
The Gopher once again launched a sonic wave attack.
The air could be seen trembling with naked eyes.
The gopher’s strength had already advanced to Earth Rank, so its attack power naturally doubled.
William didn’t even think about it and rolled to the side, dodging the range of the sonic wave attack.
However, the house behind William wasn’t so lucky. It was directly enveloped by the enhanced version of the sonic wave attack.
Rumble!
The few simple-structured longhouses instantly collapsed. The people standing on the rooftops feel at once. Fortunately, they were already far away, so the sonic wave attack didn’t have much energy anymore. It was just that they were shaken until they were dizzy. There was no real damage.
“Hey! Gopher!”
William was worried that the Gopher would continue to release the sonic attack and cause more people to be injured, so he shouted to attract attention while rushing over quickly.
The gopher’s claws swung over again. William suddenly jumped up and waved the longsword in his hand in the air.
“Slash!”
The sharp sword slashed past the gopher’s claws, but it made a sound of metal colliding.
On the other hand, there was only a white mark on the Gopher’s claws, and it was intermittent. Not a single strand of black hair that was hard enough to pierce through steel that was broken.
“I can’t even break through the defense. How am I supposed to fight!”
William was shocked.
The gopher’s claws swung towards him again, and William could only dodge in a circle.
The gopher realized that it could not hit William after a few times, so it retracted its claws.
Then, it opened its mouth towards William.
William thought that it was about to release another sonic attack, so he quickly shifted his position and chose a spot behind him where there was nothing.
However, the gopher did not shout. Instead, it moved its throat, and a few humanoid monsters crawled out in one after another.
Their entire body was as if they had been taken out from the water just like those monsters he fought before that. Their skins were swollen, there was no hair on their body, and their eyes were pale.
“Urgh!”
Many people felt a little nauseous upon seeing that scene.
After all, anyone would find it hard to accept if they saw humanoid creatures come out from the gopher’s throat.
Those humanoid creatures swayed and rushed towards William.
“As expected, it was you who did it!”
William said in a low voice. At the same time, he also noticed that the Gopher’s stomach was a little smaller. That meant that these monsters did not appear out of thin air but were the people it had swallowed previously. No wonder it wanted to steal the corpse.
However, such a monster that swallowed corpses and then spitting them out as monsters had never been heard of before. It was a little terrifying.
“Ah!”
Suddenly, the gopher launched another sonic wave attack. William was momentarily distracted and was hit by the sonic wave attack.
He could only feel that his entire body was trembling and hurriedly rolled sideways to avoid it. William saw that the monsters were not affected and were still running towards him quickly from the corner of his eyes.
Only then did he understand the trick of the strange gopher.
