Chapter 720 Was that on purpose just now?

William glanced at the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian beneath Amy's feet, noting that Poseidon had sealed some of its power.

Such a divine sword in the hands of a young child like Amy could lead to disaster if not restricted.

Both the divine sword and the throwing knives allowed for swift flight.

As they flew, they could see the Earth's surface below, riddled with holes. Once bustling cities had fallen, now covered with dense vegetation and crawling with various monsters, as well as humans mutated by a virus.

In these places, normal humans were hardly seen.

Amy looked down, clearly frightened. If she weren't so adept at flying, she might have fallen.

Walker sneaked a glance at William, who stood steadily on his throwing knife.

While others relied on divine swords for flight, Walker could fly because his throwing knives were soul-linked artifacts. Yet, William's stability on such a small knife seemed almost miraculous to him.

A novice Soulmancer, by all accounts, should have little experience with aerial maneuvers, especially standing on such a tiny knife.

Of course, it was possible that William had some flying experience with Alice, but clearly, William was not as simple as he appeared.

Pretending to be weak to hide his strength, huh?

Let's see how long you can keep that up!

Walker, eyeing Amy a distance away, suddenly withdrew the throwing knife under William's feet.

William traced a beautiful parabola through the air, yet he made no other movement.

He was now thousands of feet in the air, and if he were truly just a novice Soulmancer, a fall from this height would be fatal.

William made no extra movements, not even a cry for help, which slightly annoyed Walker.

Damn it, he couldn't tell if William was deliberately concealing his strength or if he was just an expressionless stoic.

In such a situation, even if you don't cry for help, at least make some noise to cope!

William fell expressionlessly, having already discerned Walker's probing intentions.

"Hey, I could have just told him directly, but since he wants to test me, let him test."

Just as William was halfway down, Walker suddenly dove down, grabbed William's arm, and shouted, "Be careful!"

Amy, who was ahead, turned around and hovered in mid-air, anxiously yelling, "Walker, don't drop him!"

Walker grabbed William and controlled two flying knives, having William step on one with each foot, before they set off again.

"Amy, what kind of sword is that?"

Within just a few seconds, Walker shouted out.

"It's just a regular sword!" Amy looked at the three throwing knives she had sliced into pieces, pouting, "Your knives are too fragile, it's not my fault, and I'm not paying for them."

She was still a child at heart, thinking Walker would ask her to compensate for the broken knives.

"Who asked you to pay?" Walker was so angry his face turned red and his neck swelled. He suddenly realized that competing with a little kid like Amy was troublesome, and he was even worried about accidentally hurting her.

Hmm, the key point was that he couldn't even if he wanted to, which was frustrating.

Amy had been learning swordsmanship from Poseidon for four years, and her skills were extraordinary. The sword in her hand could cut through anything. Walker's throwing knives, which he had nurtured with soul energy for several years, were easily sliced into three pieces.

What's the point of fighting now?

"Let's stop fighting. Let's see who can kill more monsters."

That was Walker's real intention. He knew Amy was powerful, but the little girl had never actually killed a mutant creature.

Steven and Seraphina had taken very good care of her.

Amy was actually among the stronger human combatants, yet she had always been confined within the inner city of New York. What was the point of that?

Today, bringing Amy here was about getting her accustomed to the feeling of slaying those mutant creatures.

"Fighting monsters..." Amy held her sword, looking somewhat nervous.

She had mentally prepared herself, but having never killed even a rabbit before, the sudden expectation to kill mutant monsters was understandably nerve-wracking for her.

"Aren't you scared?" Walker chuckled, knowing that such a young kid needed a bit of verbal provocation.

"It's you who's scared." Amy stood her ground, holding her sword awkwardly, and finally asked, "What about Mr. Johnson?"

"William? Let's look for him. He should be fine after just this short while." Walker scanned with his senses and found William sitting bored on a rock.

"Huh? No mutant creatures have found him?" As Walker scanned the area around William, he was surprised to find not a single mutant creature nearby.

This guy's luck was just too good.

What he didn't know was that William had merely emitted a faint trace of his own energy aura, which had scared off the mutant creatures from the area.

William, who played around even with mythical beasts, was hardly a target these mutant creatures would dare to attack.

The dangerous aura instinctively kept the mutant creatures far away from William.Updated from n0velbIn.(c)o/m
