Chapter 2544
Maki chuckled coldly, seemingly surprised by Harvey’s extensive knowledge. He didn’t say anything
else. Instead, he opted to pounce in his opponent’s direction while wielding the longsword with just one
hand.
The remaining Islanders dashed toward Edwin while screaming at the top of their lungs. With his eyes
narrowed, Edwin retaliated by picking up the firearm that Carol dropped earlier and pulling the trigger
on them.
Bang, bang, bang!
Several Islanders collapsed in pools of their blood as a result. However, the other experts remained
fearless as they continued to shriek and holler while rushing in Edwin’s direction.
Carol, who was watching the battle unfold from
outside the mourning hall, tried to run, but her legs were akin to jelly. She could only dial a number
instinctively to call for help.
At that moment, Harvey and Maki were locked in a one-on-one duel.
Swish!
Maki slashed his longsword downward, producing a long streak of silver light in front of Harvey. The
latter slashed horizontally in return, successfully blocking his opponent’s powerful attack.
Clang!
The two longswords clashed against each other fiercely and produced grating sounds. Maki staggered
three steps backward while panting heavily. Harvey, on the other hand, remained rooted on the spot.
He gazed at Maki with narrowed eyes thoughtfully.
“You’re on the level of the God of War.”
It was safe to say that Harvey was surprised.
He didn’t expect that Maki could reach the God of War’s threshold after using the black paper figure. Of
course, the elderly man would have to pay a hefty price in exchange for that power, not to mention that
the power boost wouldn’t last for a long time.
Nonetheless, Maki was still a God of War as long as the boost persisted. A King of Arms and a God of
War were two completely different levels.
For instance, Tyson and Edwin were viewed as top experts among the younger generation. However,
even with Harvey’s guidance, they were still unable to achieve a breakthrough and become Gods of
War in a short period of time.
The fact that Maki was able to achieve this feat with the help of Yin-Yang Technique signified
that the artform was truly special. That was the reason why it was able to exist in the Island Nation for
decades.
While Harvey mused about Maki’s transformation, the latter already had his longsword raised while
gazing at him emotionlessly.
As a veteran expert who had practiced kendo for many years, Maki understood that feints and tricks
were useless in front of people like Harvey. Therefore, he resorted to a straightforward style when
fighting him. All of his slashes were straight to the point and packed with more than a punch.
More than a dozen slashes were aimed at Harvey
in an instant.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Harvey continued to swing his sword in all directions while maintaining a poker face. He
was able to fend off each of Maki’s attacks at crucial moments.
An interested smile slowly spread across his features at the same time.
The Shinkage Way was known as one of the Six Schools of Martial Arts. The kendo of Shinkage Way
represented the essence of kendo in the
Island Nation. Hence, Harvey appraised each and every one of Maki’s moves as they fought.
If Maki knew that his all-out effort was just a joke in Harvey’s eyes, he would definitely be furious.
Clang!
Harvey blocked another consecutive slash.
Hatred fleeted across Maki’s eyes. He had to pay a huge price just to obtain the power of a God of War,
and he knew that the boost would fade away soon. He couldn’t afford to drag out the
battle with Harvey.
Maki’s figure flashed for a moment before increasing his speed. At the same time, he gripped his
longsword tightly with both hands and did a powerful forward slash.
The slash was extremely domineering. Moreover, Maki had poured all of his strength into that slash
It was most likely the most powerful slash he had ever released in his life.
