The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker

Chapter 304: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 107

The <<Decade Slash>> is a formidable sword attack that derives its name from the extraordinary power and impact it delivers in a single stroke. It is a culmination of years of training and mastery in the swordsmanship of Garvin, representing his ability to channel immense strength and precision into a singular, devastating cut.

As the <<Decade Slash>> is unleashed, the air seems to part before the blade, creating a faint but perceptible distortion around the air. The sheer force generated propels the attack forward with incredible speed, creating a sharp whistling sound in its wake.

Upon impact with the <<Molten Ice Slash>>, the <<Decade Slash>> delivers a thunderous clap, as if the very fabric of space surrounding the area of their clash were being torn apart.

Contrary to what everyone was expecting with the <<Decade Slash>> easily cutting and destroying the <<Molten Ice Slash>>, the latter soon diminishes the force of the former, completely vanquishing its glory from existence.

Whoosh!

In an instant, the <<Molten Ice Slash>> continued hurling forward toward Garvin's direction, evaporating and freezing the water in the moat along the way.

Since he had just performed the <<Decade Slash>>, Garvin no longer has enough time to dodge away from the <<Molten Ice Slash>>.

With no other choice left, Garvin quickly raised his sword and braced himself for the assault.

Booom!

The ice that surrounds Garvin's sword was instantly blasted away into pieces following the bursting power of the <<Molten Ice Slash>>. At the same time, his feet were slowly being pushed backward due to the force of the attack.

Gritting his teeth and pushing his sword with all his might, Garvin was eventually able to get his balance back together. With great difficulty, he waves his hands to the side, finally parrying the <<Molten Ice Slash>> away from him.

Boom!

A loud explosion erupted at the wall of the Freedom Fang Brigade and a thick cloud of dust clouded the aftermath.

When the dust finally settled down, everyone soon witnessed a deep and sizeable cut stretching deeper inside the wall of the Freedom Fang Brigade. While on the top surface, dozens of soldiers lay dead, after unluckily getting caught in time by the devastating effect of the sword wave.

The aftermath left the area covered in ice spikes and burning flames.

Garvin didn't bother much longer after briefly glimpsing at the result of his counter. The aftermath was within his expectations, considering how powerful the <<Molten Ice Slash>> was after personally experiencing its strength. In fact, he initially expected that it would easily cut both ends of the wall. It's probably because his <<Decade Slash>> has diminished some of its original strength.

Garvin turns his eyes to Kayn with a look of great fear and awe. "What do you call that attack?"

"It's a combination of different Active Skills," Kayn responded.

"I noticed you were able to use two <<Sword Dance>>, I am guessing it amplified the attack to 300%?" Garvin tried to guess.

"That's right,"

"Was that your full strength?"

"Not yet," Kayn shook his head. "I was just showing you how sincere I am,"

"That was more than being sincere," Garvin was slightly in disbelief. He nearly died because of that attack. If he didn't make a quick decision of parrying the attack to his side, his already damaged sword would have broken into pieces. By then, he'll be left with nothing but his broken armor to hope that it can bear the remaining power of the <<Molten Ice Slash>>.

"So, have I changed your mind?" Kayn still didn't give up persuading Garvin. He isn't really that desperate to form an alliance with the latter. To tell the truth, he can present his proposal to somebody else in the Assembly of Freedom or even start from scratch if that's what it takes. But because Garvin is a good candidate to make his plan flow smoothly, he wants to try his best to make Garvin accept.

"It's still not tempting enough," Garvin shook his head. It is as clear as daylight what Kayn can present to him in the future and the potential of his plan succeeding, but considering the situation right now where he still has the upper hand in the battle against the Dream Village, he doesn't want to easily give that up. If the worst really comes, he'll just disregard his honor and order his men to continue attacking the Dream Village.

"Well, I guess all I can say is, I've done everything I could," Kayn sighs in helplessness.

Tooottt!

Suddenly, a resounding battle horn call reverberated across the battlefield from the east.

Everyone's attention instantly turned to the source of the sound, including both Kayn and Garvin.

"They're here," Kayn muttered.

Hearing Kayn's remark, Garvin instantly understood what is about to come.

Without any hesitation, Garvin jumped back on top of their wall, awaiting the arrival of what he feared the most to come.

Dozens of blue banners raised to the sky with the insignia of a green-colored horn slowly approaching from both the east and south side of the Dream Village. Followed by countless soldiers wearing pieces of green armor with golden trims.

"Was this the real reason why you are so confident until now?" Garvin finally realized that he was fooled by Kayn. The latter might have been fighting him with all that he got, but it wasn't purely with the intent of defeating him. Instead, it was to buy time for the arrival of their reinforcement.

Honkkk!

"It seems like I am not the only one that was waiting for a reinforcement," Kayn smiled at Garvin before also swiftly returning to the walls of the Dream Village.

"Well, you could say I have a touch of unpredictability in me as well," Garvin said with pride, puffing his chest.

Over at the north, what seems to be the entire army of the Assembly of Freedom slowly approaches the wall of the Freedom Fang Brigade while raising red banners with the symbol of a wing.
