Chapter 89

"Sign in."

Luo En nodded.

At this moment he had already sensed the prying, coming from an extremely far distance — as expected, it should be Enel using the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's ability to cover the entire island with his Mantra.

He should have already discovered and confirmed his location by now.

【Sign-in successful. Sign-in reward obtained: Vitality +10.

Sign-in reward obtained: Ultimate Mantra.】

The instant the system's voice fell.

Something seemed to explode in an instant within Luo En's mind.

His eyes instantly became vacant and hollow, a streak of incomparably deep light surfacing deep within his pupils.

His Observation Haki, which had reached lv3, was completely released, its range beginning to expand rapidly outward from a hundred meters in all directions.

Three hundred meters, four hundred meters, five hundred meters, six hundred meters, seven hundred meters… a thousand meters, two thousand meters, three thousand meters… nine thousand meters, ten thousand meters!

At this moment, just like Enel who had enhanced his Mantra by relying on the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's ability, the entirety of Skypiea was enveloped by Luo En's Observation Haki. He even 'saw' Enel lying on the bed in the palace, as well as the priests and divine soldiers rushing toward this place.

Observation Haki lv3 → lv4!

"So this is… the Ultimate Mantra, the ultimate extent of Observation Haki's breadth…"

Luo En closed his eyes, carefully feeling this power.

At the same time.

In the upper ruins, Enel, who had been swept by his Observation Haki, was also startled.

"That feeling just now was… Mantra?"

"Is it that outsider?"

Enel, wearing a white headcloth, with very large and long earlobes, bare upper body, and lantern pants, narrowed his eyes.

"To actually dare to spy on God…"

He slowly sat up from the bed, stood, picked up the golden staff beside him, and walked barefoot toward the outside with a dark expression.

Such a fellow.

He would deliver divine punishment!

Luo En's Observation Haki and Enel's Mantra simultaneously enveloped the entirety of Skypiea.

The range was identical, meaning the breadth was identical, so what was being compared was whose quality — that is, whose depth of perception and precognition — was greater.

Enel mainly relied on the power of the Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit, using electric waves to enhance the degree of coverage, relying on electric waves to strengthen the sensing of enemies' muscle activity so as to predict their next move.

In actuality, in terms of Observation Haki — that is, the precognitive ability of Mantra — he had not gone very far.

At this moment, Luo En could faintly sense this point.

Among the four priests, the "Sky Breeder" Ohm was the first to arrive at the forest where Luo En was.

He carried a long sword, led a dog as well as several divine soldiers, and walked toward the black-haired youth standing in the clearing of the forest with his eyes closed.

"Outsider who trespasses upon God's land, you have offended God."

Ohm raised the long sword in his hand and pointed it at Luo En. "I now bestow upon you the divine punishment of death."

The moment his words fell, the giant white dog behind him and the divine soldiers beside him charged at the black-haired youth in unison.

When they approached within three meters of the black-haired youth.

The remaining three priests also arrived at this place leading their men.

"Did Ohm get ahead of us…"

The "Sky Guardian" Gedatsu said with a chuckle.

Watching as the attack was about to close in on the black-haired youth with closed eyes, the "Forest Sage" Shandial felt a hint of unease in his heart.

"Be careful…"

The words had not yet finished falling.

The black-haired youth with closed eyes raised his foot and kicked out at the approaching group of divine soldiers.

An extremely long cyan crescent wind blade, wrapped in a fierce gale, sliced across the bodies of the divine soldiers.

Like a scythe cutting through wheat, it severed them silently at the waist.

Watching that crescent wind blade, undiminished in momentum, slash toward him, Ohm's hair stood on end.

Why, why hadn't his Mantra sensed a thing?!

Having no time to think, he immediately swung his sword to slash out, simultaneously equipping a Cloud Shell onto the blade.

That cyan crescent wind blade pushed him sliding backward for some ten meters before finally dissipating.

After Ohm blocked this strike, both his hands were trembling, nearly unable to grip his sword.

Seeing this scene, the other three priests all wore expressions of horror.

"He actually repelled Ohm in a single strike?"

"How could this be…"

"This guy is very strong! Attack together!"

The "Knight of the Sky" Satoriya shouted sharply, taking the lead in charging at the black-haired youth with his long spear!

The "Forest Sage" Shandial and the "Sky Guardian" Gedatsu also immediately followed.

All three of them deployed their Mantra, wanting to use it to predict and sense the movements of the enemy before them.

But…

81. Enel: I got careless and didn't dodge (3/5)

Shandial, who among the three was the most proficient in Mantra, had his face suddenly turn deathly pale at this moment, a flash of horror and disbelief passing through his eyes.

"Why… why can't I sense anything at all…?!"

"Take this!"

The "Knight of the Blue Sky" Shura leapt into the air, his spear wrapped in flames, and thrust straight at the black-haired youth who had his back turned to him like a tongue of fire.

The next second.

The black-haired youth's figure flashed and vanished on the spot.

His pupils contracted.

"What?!"

His heavy strike smashed into the ground, cratering a large pit.

"Where is he? Where did he go?"

Gedatsu turned his head, looking all around.

Shadilly's forehead, meanwhile, was beaded with cold sweat:

"That just now was… Mantra?! And at a higher level, the same as a God's! This… how could this be…"

"Where is he!"

One of the Divine Soldiers pointed in a direction.

Everyone turned to look.

They saw that black-haired youth standing on an empty patch of ground some twenty meters from the group, his back to the four Divine Officials and the many Divine Soldiers.

Under their horrified gazes.

That black-haired youth, with his back to them, extended his right hand into the void, and from that empty space rippling like the surface of water, drew out a blade wreathed in Lei Guang.

Gedatsu couldn't help but swallow hard.

Shadilly's eyes went wide.

Ohm was drenched in cold sweat, his face full of terror.

The next second.

A massive slash wreathed in Lei Ting, within their widened eyes, came cleaving down toward them.

Then it exploded with a roar.

Sword Qi laced with Lei Ting scattered in all directions!

In an instant!

The four Divine Officials and the many Divine Soldiers, their entire bodies covered in sword scars, all collapsed!

After unleashing Lei Qie and that slash, Luo En, who had opened his eyes, looked up into the distance and laughed:

"What do you think of that slash, you arrogant fool who styled yourself a god?"

Eneru, standing at the top of the palace with his golden staff, was provoked by his taunt and let out a string of cold laughs.
