"I thought that you will not intervene with the matters of the world, Five Swords." Doyle spoke with a serious tone. The newcomer was someone they couldn't underestimate.
Five Swords Eternal. That was the newcomer's dao title. And just like his title stated, he was a sword eternal, one of the existences standing at the top of Sword Platform.
Furthermore, Five Swords was ranked as one of the top five strongest eternals of the realm. His battle achievements and contributions to the world were more than enough for people run away from him. Not just that, he created the sword law named Asterisk Star Sword Slash, a popular sword law passed down to the public.
"I can't just let you old demons do what you want and break the balance, no?" Five Swords smiled, "Why don't we take a step back and see the vast sky? Let the dark elves go and the world won't pursue the matter."
Being an apex being, he had the right to control the voices of the world. He was using the whole Thousand Realms as a threat to intimidate the the elders.
However, it wasn't enough. Doyle smirked and answered, "Five Swords, this will be my first and last warning since we have a bond together in the past. Leave this island."
"I'm afraid I cannot, Doyle." Five Swords shook his head, "Since you don't want to back off, I don't think I can back off too."
"If that's the case, too bad then." Doyle turned sinister and said, "You'll die with them!"
"Boom!" The cannon fired its second round. It was a lot stronger than the previous. It had the capability to destroy the whole Sword Platform with this.
"Activate!" Five Swords shouted. His swords shined with different colors and pointed its sharp tip towards the incoming cannon ball.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" The five swords broke through the space and met the cannon ball. Energy sparks flew around the place as the five swords were trying to stop the ball.
"On!" Five Swords activated his grand sword dao, Ultimate Breaking Heavens. The swords turned from shining light to grand and titanic swords that could slash the sky in half.
"Fire!" Doyle gave the signal to fire the third ball. Since the second one was being stopped, they needed to up their game.
"Boom!" Now, two cannon balls were fighting against the swords. It was like a battle of titans with energy clash overflowing the battlefield. Thousand to millions of sparks splashed away in all directions, as the world trembled in effect.
Five Swords was truly strong, according to the rumors. Remember, the cannon balls had the power to destroy realms but it was being kept at bay by the swords.
"Let's see how long can you last, Five Swords." Doyle knew that despite the power level of Five Swords, he was still prone to exhaustion.
"Grug!" And as expected, Five Swords knelt down and spat bad blood. The battle was taking a toll on his body now that it's getting prolonged.
Because of this, one of the swords was thrown out and destroyed. Now, the four swords were struggling to push back the dangerous and horrifying cannon balls. Five Swords had to think immediately or else it would be his doom.
In actuality, he could have just left and let the dark elves suffer their fate. However, he couldn't take it. It's not that he wanted to be a hero as he was already done being one. It's just that he had a fateful connection with a dark elf in the past.
And for him, it was enough to make him move and save the dark elves from extinction.
"You're suffering, Five Swords. You used to be a powerful eternal yet now you are kneeling in front of us and our power." Doyle taunted, "You will not get out of here alive."
"You talk too much for an old man." Five Swords struggled to stand up. Despite his damaged body, he still looked handsome and imperious, "Do you think it's already over?"
"Bang!" Five Swords usually had five swords by his side. However, only a few people knew there's a secret behind him. He slowly took out a blade with dark metal in it. There was a sun and moon engraved by the hilt.
"Impossible! How do you have that?" Maldove was stumped. Even the yellow-robed old man who was staying silent by the side widened his eyes. They were very familiar with this sword.
Slayer of Deities. It was the name of the blade. It was created by a powerful blacksmith in the past who happened to live here in Sword Platform. His swords were very wanted by many lineages because of its terrifying power and durability.
And Slayer of Deities was one of the best creations of the smith.
"Time to end this!" Five Swords attacked. He was planning in cutting their heads. He turned into a streak of light and dashed towards the elders.
But before he could do so, the cannon fired its fourth ball directly towards Five Swords himself. He spun his body creating a drill effect and clashed with the ball.
"Agh!" He was already all out by buffing himself with tens of buffs but his bones were still broken because of the impact. Despite that, he didn't stop from the attack.
"Fire the fifth." The yellow-robed old man commanded this time.
"But Brother, we only have two balls left." Doyle was indignant. The making of the cannon balls were very expensive that they could only create six of them in total even they had an overflowing treasury.
"If we want to win against Five Swords, the fifth ball is necessary. Do as I say." The yellow-robed old man was still observing the battle when he spoke.
Doyle was still feeling indignant but since the big brother had said so, they couldn't refute it. Maldove immediately put the fifth cannon ball and infused it with energy.
"Boom!" And the fifth ball was fired going towards Five Swords!
In result to this, Five Swords was thrown away violently in a helpless manner. He also left trails of blood as he was pushed back by two cannon balls. Soon, the balls exploded along with the hundreds of thousands more soldiers of dark elves.
