80: Apprenticeship

The Killing intent, as if tangible, swept towards Violent, making him realize for the first time that momentum could also kill.

Violent's hand had just touched the sword hilt when he was sent flying by this momentum, heavily crashing to the ground.

Immediately after, the long sword, like a living creature, rose from the ground and landed in the man's hand.

Violent climbed up from the ground and quickly Entered the Shadows.

Seeing this, the man seemed to recall something unpleasant and let out a heavy cold snort.

"Another one of these sneaky things!"

With that, he slashed the long sword in his hand towards where Violent had disappeared, attempting to tear open space.

Where the blade passed, space rippled, but it was not penetrated.

The man was not discouraged, and a dense Qi erupted from his body, the long sword in his hand continuously slashing at space like waves.

The void also trembled like waves, but it was still not torn open.

Seeing this, the man's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but he could only withdraw his hand and give up.

Just then, a figure flew rapidly from the air and landed beside the man.

"Wright, what happened?"

The man named Wright seemed to hold this person in high regard and quickly cupped his hands, saying:

"Gavin Commander, just now a Little Devil wanted to steal my sword. After I discovered him, he Entered the Shadows and escaped into another dimension."

That's right, the person who flew in was the second-greatest expert in the Abyss, the current Demon Commander, Gavin.

Originally, after the war, Cain still wanted to continue commanding the Demons, but Ye Chen refused.

The number of Demons has now exceeded three hundred thousand, and there are over a hundred who are stronger than Cain.

Having a Blood Clan command the powerful Devil Race made it difficult for them to be convinced.

However, the sixth-tier Gavin was different.

In his original world, this person had extremely high prestige.

Now that his strength has broken through to the sixth tier, he is also the Devil Race's top expert, and commanding these Demons is naturally very suitable.

And the middle-aged man, Wright, was also one of the two Sky Knights dispatched by the Roman Empire to cooperate with Lorraine.

His current strength is also at the late fifth tier, making him the Devil Race's expert second only to Gavin.

After hearing Wright's words, Gavin carefully felt the spatial fluctuations, then moved to an empty space.

He casually reached out his hand into the void, and as if picking something out of a bag, he pulled out Violent, who was hiding in the Shadow space.

Wright watched as the space he had tried his best to destroy was easily breached by Gavin, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Violent also stared at Gavin with a look of horror, as if staring at some ancient beast.

He was in the Shadow space, which should have been extremely safe, but he didn't expect to be directly caught by this serious-faced Demon.

It was not easy for him to come out, and he didn't want to die and return to the Shadow space.

So he quickly explained:

"I... I wasn't trying to steal, I just wanted to try using this sword to perform a move."

Violent explained haltingly.

Wright obviously didn't believe the Little Devil's words, but Gavin became interested.

"Oh? What move do you want to perform?"

Saying that, Gavin casually threw his sword to Violent.

Violent fumbled to catch the long sword, somewhat surprised, then took a deep breath and closed his eyes to concentrate.

He was not in a hurry to perform Shadow Blade Storm, but repeatedly recalled every detail of Killing and Shadow Assassin performing their skills in his mind. After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and shouted:

"Shadow Blade Storm!"

His figure spun rapidly, and a few sparse Shadow blades shot out.

Gavin extended his finger and lightly tapped one of the Shadow blades, and the illusory Shadow blade instantly dispersed.

Wright curled his lip in disdain, seemingly looking down on this flashy move.

After performing a set of skills, Violent also seemed to know that his replication was not ideal, and he frowned in thought.

Gavin did not urge this Little Devil and continued to wait quietly for him.

After recalling it a few more times in his mind, Violent raised the sword in his hand again.

"Shadow Blade Storm!"

The familiar scene played out again, and this time a few more Shadow blades erupted.

Violent was still not satisfied and continued to close his eyes in thought.

Suddenly, he felt his hand being held, and as his wrist constantly trembled, the long sword in his hand drew arcs in the air.

At the same time, the Shadow Power within his body was also guided by a mysterious energy, transforming into Shadow blades and shooting out along the sword in his hand.

Violent opened his eyes and looked forward, only to see dense Shadow blades flying out from the long sword, engulfing a huge rock in the distance.

"Rumble—"

The giant rock emitted muffled sounds, its surface constantly being peeled off and collapsing by the Shadow blades.

In a short while, it was so battered by countless Shadow blades that it was unrecognizable.

Violent looked at this scene with surprise and quickly remembered the feeling from just now.

Although this was somewhat different from Shadow Blade Storm, its power was significantly increased, making it more practical than Shadow Blade Storm.

Following the feeling from just now, he danced the long sword, and at the same time, the Shadow Power within his body condensed into Shadow blades and shot out again.

Sheets of Shadow blades continued to bombard the heavily battered giant rock, completely collapsing it.

Violent looked at his hands in disbelief. Did he really unleash this?

He looked up at Gavin, his eyes sparkling with admiration.

Gavin chuckled and reached out to recall his long sword.

"Little Devil, since you've learned it, hurry up and leave. This is not a place for you to stay."

Violent did not move after hearing this. He knew he had encountered a master and couldn't just leave so easily.

The method to surpass "Killing" seemed to be right in front of him.

Thinking of this, Violent quickly knelt on the ground, begging Gavin to take him in.

Gavin had only acted on a whim and given him some pointers; he had no intention of taking a disciple.

He waved his hand, refused Violent's request, and turned to fly towards the edge of the gathering place.

Violent did not give up, flapping his bat wings and following, but his speed was much slower.

Wright watched the backs of the man and the Demon leaving and shook his head, also leaving the place.

In the following days, it was often seen in the gathering place that a persistent Little Devil followed Gavin Commander.

Gavin maintained a distant attitude towards this Little Devil and never gave him a good look.

The Little Devil was not discouraged and learned the lifestyle of the Demons, building a simple stone house in front of Gavin's stone house.

As a result, one night he was almost crushed to death by the collapsing stone house.

Later, he simply moved a thick log near Gavin's house.

Then, using his sharp claws, he dug out a small room that could accommodate himself well.

After doing all this, Violent also carved a simple wooden sword out of a section of a tree trunk.

Since the trees in the Abyss had decayed under the erosion, this wooden sword had poor hardness and durability; it would turn into sawdust after using Shadow Blade Storm once.

Violent could only make it again and again, and practice again and again.

Until Gavin couldn't stand it anymore and handed him an ordinary long sword.

This made Violent feel like he had found a treasure, and he practiced even more vigorously.

And from then on, Gavin also seemed to have come to a realization, practicing swordsmanship near the stone house every day.

Whenever this happened, Violent would stare intently, trying to learn a move or two...
