Chapter 1299 Sword Tyrant

1299 Sword Tyrant

"Last time, you had the sea," said Deluge with a smile as he took a dramatic pose, his index finger touching his forehead and his entire body tilting. He was always a fan of theatrics and annoying Valeria. "There is nothing but deserts around you, Valeria. How about you hand it over?"

"How about you grow a pair and take it yourself?" asked Valeria with a grin as she drew her sword, which was shaped like a lightning bolt. It was named Bolt, a weapon that had won her many battles because it complemented her ability.

"A vast ocean such as myself cannot be insulted by a blobfish," said Deluge with his head high, his nose almost touching the ceiling. Then, he pointed a finger toward Valeria. "If you surrender now, you will have a place on my crew. We will one day conquer the world, and you can be a part of it."

"You have a better chance of actually convincing a blobfish," said Valeria with a forced grin as she aimed her sword at him. "I came here for the essence, and I do not plan on leaving without it."

"I can see where Rain has learned this foolish attitude from," said Deluge with a sigh as he waved his hand, creating countless ethereal warriors from the essences scattered around the dark room. They rose without resistance, turning toward Valeria with brandished weapons.

"Force Warriors," muttered Valeria as her expression crumbled. "It seems this is going to be difficult." The pirate smiled but did not seem to be panicking. Some of the essences inside this hall belonged to her crewmates, while others belonged to famous pirates that once ruled the seas.

"Come over here, Jian Ba," called Deluge toward the portal, and a woman stepped through it. She wore light black armor with lined clothes underneath. Her hair was black, straight, but tied in a bun behind her head. "I need you to take care of her."

"As you command, master," said the cold woman while unsheathing her long sword. Her presence made Valeria turn toward her, frowning at the newcomer, who was a famous pirate throughout the Lesser Blood Ocean. Deluge might have used his abilities to charm her, but those were merely speculations. In terms of fighting power, she was the strongest in his crew.

Jian Ba raised her sword against Valeria, who was already busy fighting against the warriors. After the arrival of the infamous Sword Tyrant, Valeria could not spare the warriors any more of her attention. For that reason, she ran forward toward the swordswoman, narrowing the distance. Jian Ba did the same.

Valeria threw her hand, creating a giant hurricane around the two of them in an instant. It was her tactic to divide and conquer. Any of the warriors that tried to attack were destroyed by the hurricane, which not even Valeria could approach without fearing for her life.

"A wise decision, Pirate Queen," said Jian Ba as the two women became isolated from the rest. "But you will have to defeat me without any means to escape." Jian Ba shot forward toward her, swinging her sword. The entire world seemed to shift alongside her blade, reflected in its surface was the entire universe.

Valeria brought her Bolt forward, coating it with raging lightning. The heat rose to insane degrees, but even with that, it was not enough. Jian Ba cut through her blade with ease, and under the shocked eyes of the Pirate Queen, slashed through her chest.

"What a shame," muttered Jian Ba as Valeria stared down in horror. "I had some expectations for this fight." The swordswoman was clearly disappointed until Valeria suddenly disappeared like mist. "It was a mirage," muttered the swordswoman as Valeria appeared behind her.
