Chapter 184: Thunder God Battles Two Demons

Enel lowered his eyelids and appeared above the beach; the air suddenly crackled, blue-white electric currents flickered incessantly, and the sand began to show signs of melting.

Watching this scene, the relaxed expression on the Moon Demon's face vanished.

The sense of oppression displayed by this Enel was so strong that it almost made her think she was facing an Admiral directly.

Tao Baibai was right about one thing: the Moon Demon did not kill Hawkeye by relying on her own strength. Instead, after Hawkeye had challenged a powerful enemy and was severely wounded, the Moon Demon used the Navy and Cloud Bombs to directly bombard the island where Hawkeye was located, ultimately causing Hawkeye's injuries to worsen and leading to Perona's death.

Amidst the siege of a group of Reincarnators, the Moon Demon snatched Hawkeye's Drop Card.

Her sword mastery, now bolstered by Black Blade Night, had reached a terrifying level 10; almost every swing produced a flying slash, and the Chao-fan Te-zheng of both strength and agility breaking through the Extreme Value allowed the Moon Demon to unleash slashes capable of cleaving mountains.

Yet she still felt that the gap between her and the Hawkeye from that day's battle was not small; this gap was not in mastery level, not in sword art grade, and not in attributes...

It was that her instinct as a master swordsman could not compare at all to that world's number one swordsman. Furthermore, the differences in subtle areas like on-the-spot reaction, decisiveness, and Haki kept her locked within the shackles of the 【Strong】 tier.

Whoosh~

The Moon Demon opened her mouth, and a large amount of airflow surged in. She felt the tingling on her skin and knew that this place had been completely dominated by Enel's Rumble-Rumble Fruit. The next moment, the Moon Demon's figure began to dance wildly in an instant.

The 【God Speed】 obtained from agility breaking through the Extreme Value combined with the 【Dragon Strength】 from strength breaking through the Extreme Value erupted completely.

Almost in an instant, in Enel's eyes, this guy holding the Black Blade that gave him a sense of danger seemed to have grown three heads and six arms, as if unleashing slashes in countless postures in a single moment.

【Rain of Blows】!

Swish swish swish swish...

Countless emerald-green sword lights erupted in front of Enel in an instant, like a blooming Lotus.

Enel's scalp also tingled, and his heart tightened slightly; that sense of horror from death being imminent was unprecedentedly intense.

Zzzzt!

Intense electric light shone instantly. As the Moon Demon swung her peerless sword momentum, she suddenly felt a strong repulsive force. That power did not make her unable to continue swinging, but instead deflected all of her sword momentum.

Boom!

Amidst the scattering sword light, the Lotus, which should have been perfectly centered, developed a deviation. Enel seized this gap and instantly transformed into lightning, shooting a thousand meters backward. Once the distance was opened wide enough, this kind of sword light capable of slashing a thousand meters could no longer pose any threat to Enel, who moved in the form of lightning.

The Moon Demon frowned, knowing that her Haki strength was ultimately insufficient and had been affected by the opponent's bizarre electromagnetic force. But her heart stirred, and instead of resisting that power, she took advantage of the momentum to cast all her sword energy toward the sea.

Swish! Swish!

The sea was instantly cut open with several terrifying gashes, and the sword light headed straight for the dragon-headed Pirate ship in the inner sea.

Seeing this, the Flame Demon was even more furious. He let out a roar, transformed into his dragon form, opened his mouth to condense a Flame with a diameter of over a hundred meters, and sprayed it toward the coast.

The sword light collided with the dragon fire, producing a terrifying explosion. A powerful shockwave swept in all directions, and the seawater rose into thick white mist.

The Flame Demon landed on the ship, his wings on his back still not vanished. He flapped them once to disperse the white mist and was about to pursue, but a Reincarnator wearing a half-silver mask beside him changed expression and said,

"Flame Demon, let's go, this Enel is not easy to deal with!"

In the sky, Enel was like a true Thunder God descended to the world, his entire body shrouded in scorching white lightning. His stature looked much larger, and even from high altitude, everyone below felt a terrifying sense of oppression.

Thump-thump, thump-thump...

The Moon Demon's heart began to beat, and she felt waves of sharp pain. The moisture in the air had been completely electrolyzed; that terrifying power of truly and completely dominating natural elements was enough to make every mortal creature feel trembling fear.

Enel raised his fingers high, and thunderclouds rolled in the sky. This scene caused the Flame Demon and the others on the Pirate ship to change their expressions. In the original work, Enel created thunderclouds using the Ark Maxim, but at this moment, Enel was not relying on any external tools; he was changing the weather simply by using his own power.

The Flame Demon's expression shifted, and he finally said,

"Retreat first!"

At the same time, he transformed into human form and chanted loudly. Although others could not understand that ancient language, just hearing it made them feel a restlessness of some kind of power in the air.

【Dragon Language Magic】

Circles of protective barriers began to appear.

On the beach, the Moon Demon also quickly turned into an afterimage. The next moment, she had already shot into the sky. The sound of stepping on air was everywhere, and hundreds of afterimages appeared in the sky in an instant.

【God Speed】 is one of the abilities most desired by Reincarnators whose agility attribute has broken through the Extreme Value. It allows agility-specialized Reincarnators to gain a huge percentage increase to their already exaggerated speed, and this increase comes with absolutely no burden.

The Moon Demon transformed into thousands of figures in an instant, flying in all directions. She no longer had the heart to care about Tao Baibai, whom she had just slashed with a terrifying wound again. She already understood that this Tao Baibai had intentionally drawn her here; from the very beginning, the opponent had planned to use Enel to attack her and the Flame Demon.

"Million Volts Thunder Dragon!"

Enel pointed his finger downward. In the gathered thunderclouds, countless Thunder Dragons hundreds of meters long roared as they flew downward. From the sea, this scene looked extremely terrifying.

An entire sea area was covered by thunderclouds, and within these clouds, Thunder Dragons were born continuously, bombarding the surroundings according to Enel's will.

"Yeah-hahaha!"

"This is the power of a god!"

"Even demons will wail amidst the thunder."

Enel's wild laughter could be heard clearly even by the Marine Headquarters fleet in the outer sea. Chaton's expression was grim at this moment; he had originally intended to follow the suggestion of that Marine from Branch 51 and launch an attack today.

Judging from Enel's current movements, there were indeed powerful individuals of unknown identity who had launched actions near Skuld Island at the same time.

If the Navy had carried out the operation earlier, they should have been able to successfully land on the island from the other side of the sea by now.

But the Headquarters had vetoed this operational plan.

As the legend of the Golden Town spread more and more widely, the World Government seemed to have made a decision; they wanted to truly take over Skuld Island. At this moment, forces from the World Government were likely on their way.

And the several Vice Admirals from Headquarters who were carrying injuries now had the duty of clearing the surrounding sea area to prevent 【Golden Town】 from being moved.

Bang bang bang...

Explosions appeared continuously. The Pirate ship, which had lit up a fire-red Magic Barrier, became Enel's primary target. Amidst the continuous bombardment of Thunder Dragons, the ship's barrier quickly dimmed.

Finally, amidst Enel's rampant laughter, the Pirate ship was directly blown to pieces.

Countless afterimages of the Moon Demon in the air were cleared away in an instant by the large-scale discharge, but Enel's Heart Net had locked onto the Moon Demon's true body. After blowing up the Pirate ship, the Thunder Dragons began to shriek in the air and fly toward the high-altitude clouds.

Roar roar roar!

The Moon Demon, flying into the high altitude, changed expression and suddenly felt a palpitation in her heart. She instantly gripped her sword and held it horizontally in front of herself.

Clang!

The purple light bullet collided with the Black Blade's edge and was split in two. Only then did the sound of a sonic boom burst forth, and the clouds were instantly torn into a 'V' shape.

The Moon Demon's expression was gloomy; damn it, that guy from the 【Critical Point】 had actually set his sights on him?!

On the beach, Bai Cangshu rose unhurriedly, patted his pink robe, and shook off the sand; his injuries had recovered as if they had never been, and apart from the depletion of his Qi and blood, he had paid no real price for this battle.

On the contrary, both the Flame Demon and the Moon Demon had fallen into a dangerous situation at this moment.

Bai Cangshu turned around, his vital signs such as heartbeat and breathing disappearing once again; he had deliberately waited for a long time until a certain peculiar feeling of being watched vanished.

He guessed that the Reincarnator who had blasted him to death with a single shot likely possessed some special ability to observe the situation here from beyond visual range, and furthermore, that observational ability was a living entity he could not see!

When his chest was blown apart by that shot, he had not sensed being locked onto by killing intent at all, and thus could not dodge in advance.

Bai Cangshu could only sense a feeling of being spied upon.

But that feeling weakened significantly after his heart was blown out and he fell to the ground; he focused his senses, and only after finally confirming that the feeling had completely disappeared did he turn and leave.

Bai Cangshu's figure was like a Kage; in an instant, he returned from the beach to the small town, and without stopping his Footwork, he walked toward the Shendian as if no one else were around.

"Hey, Moon Demon, Flame Demon, pull yourselves together and teach Enel a lesson."
