Without warning—

WHOOSH!!

The Smiling Demon disappeared.

Only a silver blur remained.

Slash!

Ares twisted his body just enough to avoid having his throat opened, though another cut appeared across his shoulder.

Ignoring the pain, he immediately answered with another lightning-fast jab.

POW!!

Marshal didn’t even bother dodging.

The punch smashed directly into his face, sending blood spraying through the air while several more teeth flew from his mouth.

Yet…

He barely moved.

His head t

Writing this chapter honestly hurt… 😭 Ares has become one of my favorite characters, and seeing him pushed this far was painful to write. Also… I have no idea what possessed me to make Marshal Long this powerful and almost impossible to kill. 😭 I think I created a monster. But what do you guys think?

The Phantom Blade 11
Level XXX. The words echoed inside Ronan’s head. For decades, Level XX had been considered the absolute pinnacle of military strength. Reaching that rank was already regarded as an almost impossible achievement, something only a handful of exceptional individuals could ever hope to accomplish. Then Jaden Rift shattered that limit, becoming the first soldier in history to reach Level XXX. It was a rank that supposedly defied human biology and every known scientific principle. Even the world’s most advanced military institutions had struggled to explain how a human being could attain such extraordinary physical capabilities. Yet Jaden had done it, earning the title of King of War. And now Victor Halberg was claiming to stand at that same level. Ronan stared at the man before him. If Victor truly possessed the strength of a Level XXX combatant, then the difference between them was enormous. Even at his peak, Ronan would have struggled to defeat someone of that calibre. In his current

Victor slowly straightened, looking at Ronan with amusement.“I can see the surprise on your face.”He raised both arms and brought his palms together.“There’s a saying, isn’t there? Never reveal your next move to your enemy.”CLAP!The moment his hands collided, a violent burst of compressed air erupted around him. The shockwave swept across the road, tearing through the surrounding dust and sending nearby debris flying.Ronan barely had time to brace himself before the force struck him.BOOOOM!His body was hurled backwards like a projectile. He crashed into a large tree beside the road, snapping its trunk with the impact. The tree cracked violently before collapsing, sending branches and splinters scattering across the ground.Ronan dropped onto the asphalt, coughing as pain spread through his back. He tried to push himself up, but a sharp jolt from his spine forced him back down. His breathing grew heavier as he struggled to regain control of his body.Victor approached at a leis
The Phantom Blade 9
A faint twitch came from Victor’s motionless body.Ronan, who had been preparing to turn towards the remaining operatives, immediately stopped. His eyes narrowed as he looked down at the man lying in a pool of blood.Another twitch.Then Victor’s severed fingers began moving.“What…?”Before Ronan could react, something extraordinary happened. The flesh around Victor’s severed limbs began to writhe and expand. Muscle fibers rapidly formed beneath the exposed skin, followed by blood vessels, bones and nerves. His arms and legs began growing back at an alarming rate, the newly reconstructed limbs taking shape within seconds.The sight left everyone frozen.Ronan’s eyes widened as he watched Victor’s body reconstruct itself. Even the Black Covenant operatives, who had spent years serving the man, stared in disbelief. Some stumbled backwards, while others stood with their mouths hanging open. One soldier dropped his rifle and fell onto his backside, unable to take his eyes off the impossi
The Phantom Blade 8
Victor watched them enter the forest before turning his attention back to Ronan. The swordsman was still holding Kurotsuki, but his condition was deteriorating. His hearing had been overwhelmed, his balance was compromised, and even his eyesight seemed unreliable.“Give it up, Ronan!” Victor called out. “You can barely stand, yet you still think you can fight? You’re surrounded, outnumbered and practically blind. What exactly do you hope to accomplish?”Ronan slowly raised his head.A faint smile appeared on his bloodstained face.“You outnumber me, but you don’t outlast me.”He adjusted his grip on Kurotsuki, forcing his trembling fingers to tighten around the handle.“Every step you take towards them will cost you a dozen lives. So come and buy your ground.”The surrounding operatives exchanged uneasy glances. They had hundreds of men, automatic rifles and specialized equipment, yet none seemed eager to approach him. They had already witnessed what happened to the first group that u
The Phantom Blade 7
Selena watched helplessly from inside the bulletproof vehicle as Ronan struggled against the sonic assault. Even with the windows sealed, the sound was deafening. She could only imagine how unbearable it must be for someone whose hearing was far more sensitive than an ordinary person’s.Ronan had protected them from the moment he arrived, cutting down dozens of armed men without hesitation. Yet now he was on his knees, bleeding from his ears, unable to stand. His katana lay several feet away, and Victor was approaching him as though the outcome had already been decided.Selena’s hands tightened around Mia.I can’t just sit here and watch him die trying to protect us, without doing anything.She looked towards the nearby forest. It was their only possible escape, but leaving the vehicle meant exposing herself and Mia to the armed men surrounding them. Still, remaining inside would only make them easier targets once Ronan was defeated.She opened the rear door, took Mia firmly by the ha

Victor burst into laughter at Ronan’s declaration. He had expected nothing less from the Phantom Blade, whose confidence and overwhelming pride were almost as famous as his swordsmanship.“As expected. Your ego is practically your identity.” His smile widened as he glanced at the hundreds of armed men surrounding them. “But tell me, how exactly do you intend to protect those two against this many opponents?”He slowly spread both arms.At his signal, the operatives raised their rifles, tightening their formation around Ronan’s vehicle. Every weapon was trained on the swordsman, while several others remained positioned to prevent anyone from escaping. Selena pulled Mia closer in the back seat, watching the situation unfold with growing dread.Ronan didn’t even glance at the soldiers. He simply raised Kurotsuki and pointed its blade at Victor.“With this.”Victor’s eyes settled on the unusually long katana. A flicker of recognition crossed his face before his smile returned.“Oh, Kurots
