Chapter 164

Both sides came to a halt, as if the sea now had its own will.

It deliberately revealed a submarine passage, as if to let Bai Hu Zi pass through.

This is an advanced application of the Gura Gura no Mi.

Bai Hu Zi laughed loudly and leapt directly from the cruise ship onto the land, stomped his legs, and immediately surged toward Sadingdao at incredible speed.

The sailors on the cruise ship who witnessed the entire scene were utterly terrified.

Fear streamed from their eyes.

They could not even believe what they saw with their own eyes.

But the ship beneath them, as the waves kept closing and reopening, was thrown into violent turmoil.

They kept banging their heads against the ship's doors or walls, feeling that... pain.

Feeling pain meant this was not a dream.

Because one does not feel pain while asleep.

Thus, they trembled and shivered in fear.

"My god... what is this world? Why does such a monster exist... one who can pierce through storms with bare flesh, and another who can slice the entire ocean with a single slash... Am I really living in the real world?"

"Monsters! They aren't human. They're not human at all."

"Hahaha, it must be! It has to be!"

"That's right, ha... I must be dreaming right now! It has to be this way. Though it's strange to feel pain in a dream... but how could such monsters possibly exist in my world?"

The sailors were now mentally disoriented; some, unable to accept the truth, kept banging their heads against the deck or door panels.

They felt the pain, yet persisted relentlessly.

They refused to return to reality.

Behind these sailors,

Dozens of dark shadows appeared silently.

Their faces bore either pity or cold indifference as they gazed at these... sailors.

To witness the Godslayer in person—was this a blessing or a curse for these... sailors? From the current situation, the curse likely outweighed the blessing.

These people were the magicians of the European Magic Conclave.

Their leader was a white-haired maiden knight.

Her name was Liliyana Kranicharl.

Her title: Sword Sprite.

She was among the top geniuses of the younger generation in Western Europe.

Not long ago, under the deliberate guidance of Hou Jue Wo Ban, she became his follower.

Liliyana gazed at the direction where Hou Jue Wo Ban had departed, her eyes filled with uncertainty and unease.

And a faint thread of fear.

"My lord... has gone to Sadingdao. And just now, who were those three people...?"

Although Hou Jue Wo Ban's prohibition had kept these magicians from approaching earlier,

they had still seen how Hou Jue Wo Ban treated the other three with great familiarity—indeed, with complete equality.

For someone as arrogant as Hou Jue Wo Ban to treat others as equals—what level of monster could that be? There was only one answer... Godslayer.

Aside from another Godslayer of equal rank, not even the mightiest Grand Knight could make Hou Jue Wo Ban treat them thus.

"Does this world... have so many Godslayers?"

"Are all these... Godslayers in hiding? How could that be...? But if not this explanation, there's no other logic at all..."

Liliyana's heart trembled.

She could not believe the world held so many Godslayers.

For in her memory, among the seven Godslayers, there was no record of Su Han or his companions.

Yet the facts before her forced her to believe.

Bai Hu Zi's final slash before leaving proved it beyond doubt.

For it was nearly a power-level ability.

A single slash cleaving the sea.

Even the most elite Grand Knights, capable of standing against divine beasts, could not achieve this.

"Sadingdao! No, I must go there."

Liliyana's expression shifted several times, then finally hardened with resolve.

Though she feared Hou Jue Wo Ban and the gathering of so many Godslayers, at this moment, she must fulfill her duty as a knight.

She took a deep breath and first gave orders to the members of the Magic Conclave behind her.

"You, deal with those... ordinary people who witnessed this! Erase their memories."

"For ordinary people... the price of beholding a king is simply too great..."

With a long sigh, Liliyana made no hesitation—she stepped into the air and rushed toward Sadingdao.
