They all call me master.

Chapter 858 Usurpation III

Karal's words were soft.

But it sounded like thunder to Joel Coleman’s ears.

Joel Coman shuddered.

Even the [spirituality] began to tremble.

However, everything returned to normal soon.

Joel Coman rushed forward quickly, distanced himself from Karal, and laughed loudly.

"You want to break my defenses with words?

I have also learned the swordsman's 'peek' technique.

And, better than you!"

With these words, Joel Coman was ready to launch a counterattack.

He was just distracted by Karal's words.

This time?
Absolutely not!
It was as if he had failed six times in his attack on the 'Stair Climber'.

He used his sword to attack the 'Climber', but failed every time. Every time he thought he was not well prepared, but every time when he attacked with full confidence, he was just a hair's breadth away.

This feeling is so uncomfortable.

He tasted it six times in a row!
enough! enough!
After the sixth failure, he gave up this "path" that was totally unsuitable for him. The adult was right, "maybe by changing the path, you will find one that suits you better"!
That's what he did.

then!

He found out that he was right!

He was getting closer to the 'stairs'!

Although he failed again, he was sure that he could become a 'Stair Climber' next time.

"I'll just treat you as my last battle before I ascend the stairs!"

Joel Coleman said slowly.

But as soon as the words came out, Joel Coleman noticed something was wrong.

Or to be more precise, the mouse Jimte was standing in the distance and looking at him with pity in his eyes.

mercy?

Joel Coleman was stunned.

Then, he instinctively lowered his head.

There was a scar on his chest.

Do not!
It is not accurate to call it a scar, it should be called a red mark.

The red mark was long and narrow, just like a scratch made by a fingernail.

But Joel Coleman’s face turned pale.

heart!

He has no heartbeat!

His heart is gone!

Subconsciously, Joel Coman turned around and looked.

Karal was raising his right hand and tossing a bright red heart up and down. The young man's eyes were focused and sharp as he stared at the [Picture and Language] on the wall connected to the heart.

Then, disdain appeared in his eyes again, and...

disgust!

It's the kind of disgust you feel when you see something dirty.

“Just because you were praised, you think you have a ‘talent for swordsmanship’.

Then, he gave up his sword because of the gazes of others.

Ah.

You deserve to die, you are such a guy."

As he spoke, Karal looked at Joel Coman, but his palm suddenly exerted force.

Snapped!
Heart shattering.

"my heart!"

Joel Coleman exclaimed in disbelief.

Joel Coman was sure that at that moment there was a slight disturbance in his spirituality, but it was only a moment, a moment that ordinary people would not care about at all.

Can Karal seize this moment?

Joel Koeman is unconvinced.

That was something that even he, who had mastered the sword technique of [Seeing Through] to the extreme, could not do.

He can't do it, so why can Karal do it?
impossible!
Joel Coman denied it in his heart.

However, the facts will not change. "Your heart?
A guy like you doesn't deserve to have a heart!"

As Karal spoke, he walked to the side and pulled out Joel Coman's sword from the ground. The moment Karal's palm touched the sword, the sword immediately made a buzzing sound.

That is--

A pleasant hum.

There is a sense of intimacy in that hum.

It was as if he had seen someone who had been waiting for a long time.

The scene caused Joel Coleman to fall to the ground.

"How is this possible? How is this possible?"

As he murmured, Joel Coleman's eyes were wide open and he died with his eyes open.

Karal carefully sheathed the sword and placed it directly at his waist - the positions of the left and right swords did not change, he just placed this sword a little lower than the left sword.

This doesn't make Karal feel bad.

When he was very young, Karal wished that he could use eight swords at the same time.

I have done a lot of practice for this.

Although they all failed in the end, they did practice the sword-wielding posture thoroughly.

"You're not going to 'climb the stairs', are you?"

Jimet frowned aside.

"No.

It's just that I have an advantage against this guy who has lost his 'Sword Heart'."

Karal explained.

Jimet didn't believe it.

"'Kenshin'?
I think it's the 'sword body'!

The 'Sword Body' of the Einhas Family!
I didn't expect you to awaken your family's bloodline talent!"

Jimte exclaimed in admiration.

Karal did not explain further about this.

It is difficult for him to be compared to someone who has never really practiced swordsmanship. He just practiced the basic swordsmanship to the extreme and then broke through, then practiced to the extreme and broke through again, and then practiced to the extreme again and broke through again to gain some unique abilities - facing those who hold swords, or those who think they hold swords, he can always easily see where the opponent's 'flaw' is, especially the latter, he can even see the opponent's 'point of death'.

Even if he was not the one holding the sword, he could still see it vaguely.

He called this ability 'Sword Heart'.

It is a completely different existence from the 'Sword Body'.

Glancing at the 'spot of death' on Jimt's body, compared to how clear it was just now, it now became vague again.

According to common sense, death stays away from Karal.

They are safe now.

Of course, not everything can be explained by common sense.

For example: their adults.

He couldn't see any 'point of death' in the adults.

Not without death.

On the contrary, incomparable death gathered around his adult, as if the adult standing there represented "death".

However, adults are not 'death'.

Not 'death', but commanding 'death'.

Beneath the sense of contradiction is an unprecedented dominance, which makes Karal feel a sense of belonging as if it is destiny. Karal is willing to pursue this dominance, but before he can achieve it, he sees a dominance in Arthur that he can never imagine.

So, Karal was willing to surrender to Arthur.

Of course, Karal would not explain these things to Jimt.

He is not some bored young lady who has to tell everything to a best friend.

He only asks questions that will best help resolve the issue at hand—

"What should we do next?"

"Of course we should find a safe place to hide and wait for Hayes to give us the 'signal'."

Jimet said this with a curled corner of his mouth.

The young noble had thought of a place that was absolutely safe.

Karal thought of the same thing.

The two looked at each other and disappeared into the alley.

However, the two did not notice that a falcon was flying high above their heads.
