Red Dog was surrounded. In the next instant, at a speed beyond visual capture, he swung his blade in every direction. His sword strikes were so swift that the air seemed to be sliced apart, erupting in a series of loud explosions.

The advance of the Blade-Biting Wolves halted momentarily. Immediately, countless sword marks covered the metal surface, shattering numerous blades, sending fragments scattering like shattered projectiles in all directions.

For Lebius, this was not unexpected. As early as the secret war, he had witnessed Red Dog’s power. Even if others said Red Dog was mad, Lebius knew this was just an act; anyone who believed it would fall into Red Dog’s trap.

More Blade-Biting Wolves pressed forward, wielding a thousand swords like a meat grinder gradually closing in, trying to capture the image of Red Dog.

The two sides began to exhibit their attack techniques, advancing layer by layer, rubbing against each other. Ether flowed fiercely between them, changing directions with angles, growing ever sharper. They raged like wild beasts, unleashing their violent power with abandon.

Everyone wisely avoided the heart of the battle. The passionate slaughter between Defenders was not something they could interfere with. Bologue also stood afar, but unlike the others, he gripped his Sword Axe, searching for an opportunity to assassinate Red Dog.

The second chance.

This was Lebius’s second chance to kill Red Dog. If he failed, the Blood Contract with Belphegor would end, and his soul would lose its freedom.

Bologue would not allow this to happen.

Red Dog broke out of the encirclement, sparks flying at the tip of his sword, flickering with the flames of battle.

His movements were too fast, even for a Defender, his speed seemed beyond imagination, as if each strike carried Ethereal Amplification.

The movements were accompanied by thunderous sounds as Red Dog closed in on Lebius, thrusting his Secret Sword towards Lebius, forceful and swift.

Lebius rarely used weapons himself; the Blade-Biting Wolves were his weapons, his blades. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

A Blade-Biting Wolf charged out, standing between the two. Metal clashed together, struggling, countering.

Lebius raised his hand, and another Blade-Biting Wolf attacked. The dense blades chopped at the Secret Sword, trying to sever it, but in the fierce clash, the dense blades shattered one by one, while the Secret Sword remained unscathed.

"Lebius! You haven’t forgotten this sword, have you?" Red Dog shouted. "That would be so disappointing!"

The Secret Sword surged, the rolling Ether bursting forth with unimaginable power. Red Dog easily repelled the Blade-Biting Wolf, pushing back Lebius once again.

The crimson figure stood proudly before him. Lebius remained silent. How could he forget this Secret Sword? It was this Secret Sword that had slit the throats of several of his friends.

Lebius remembered the name of this Secret Sword.

Immovable Sword.

The blade was simple and tenacious, its body smooth and heavy, like forged iron.

But it was this seemingly ordinary blade, forged in the furnace of a master craftsman, tempered and honed multiple times. Every angle meticulously polished and carved, lacking any ornate designs or decorations, yet it exuded an unparalleled majesty and brilliance.

The ability of this Secret Sword was simple. It possessed extreme toughness and hardness, even the Seeker of Glory could not destroy this blade.

Indestructibility was its ability, and this seemingly ordinary, even mediocre ability was extremely important to Red Dog.

From the day he learned swordsmanship, Red Dog discovered his problem. His power was too strong, and many blades would break after a few swings in his hand, not to mention becoming a Condenser, mastering Ethereal Amplification.

In every battle, Red Dog had to carry several swords, sometimes using ones seized from enemies, until he was bestowed with this sword that wouldn’t break no matter how he wielded it.

This was wonderful.

Fearsome power concentrated on the blade, as Red Dog let out a hoarse growl. The Secret Sword slashed horizontally, striking a Blade-Biting Wolf’s waist and abdomen. They rubbed against each other, producing a piercing screech, then shattered into dust and smoke.

"Come on, Lebius, stop dodging!"

The thrill of swinging made Red Dog feel his blood heat up. He stepped forward, more Blade-Biting Wolves circled around, and he shook his head helplessly, tired of these noisy things.

"Get out of my way!"

This time, Red Dog gripped his sword with both hands. His strikes were so swift that they left afterimages in the vision, overlapping into a perfect arc.

The unrestrained power struck like lightning towards the ground, accompanied by a roaring wind sound. Deafening, endless Ether erupted at the sword’s tip, transforming into an ultimate straight line, crashing down towards its target.

In that instant, the air seemed to freeze. Accompanied by the sound of breaking through air and flying sparks, the power collided like a bright moon skimming across, thundering in collision.

Even with the strengthening of Alchemy Metal and Ether control by the Defenders, the lethal Blade-Biting Wolves were still shattered one by one under Red Dog’s slash.

Lebius felt a chill in his heart. He had never underestimated Red Dog’s power, yet Red Dog’s display still surpassed his imagination.
