Act 138 First Contact, Wall of Elements

readx(); While Brando was thinking, Baron Grudin had already snapped his fingers. Immediately, two servants came up with a wooden box each. They cleared the table, then placed the wooden box in front of Brando, bowed slightly, and then withdrew.

The Baron stood up and made a gesture of invitation to Brando.

"What is this?" Brando thought to himself that this guy would definitely not give him anything good. Although he was a viscount, Grudin couldn't flatter him. Besides, the slap in the face he had just now was so satisfying, and this guy was leaning against him, which is no longer a mean word to describe him.

He hesitated for a moment, then nodded to Antitina and motioned for her to open the box.

After receiving the instructions, the noble daughter immediately got up and opened the box. She was playing the role of a viscount's bodyguard at the moment, so she naturally had to behave appropriately and could not ask for advice on everything as usual. But Antitina had just opened the first box when her movements froze.

Looking from Brando's direction, he could see that the noble girl gritted her teeth tightly to restrain herself from screaming.

what happened?

Antitina stayed in front of the wooden box for a long time, as if some magic had been cast. Brando saw her throat trembling slightly, almost making a slight clicking sound. The girl took a deep breath and finally stepped aside.

With a snap, the fork in little Roman's hand fell onto the plate.

Brando's expression also changed instantly.

Because there was a human head in the opened box——

To be precise, it was the swordsman's head that he had seen before; the swordsman's eyes were closed tightly, his blood had lost color, and his skin was as pale as a layer of rubber.

Brando was silent.

Antitina glanced at him carefully, endured it again and again, and finally let out a breath and opened another box. Although the noble girl almost collapsed in her heart, she still played her role firmly. Her fingers were almost trembling so much that she couldn't hold the lid of the box. She finally calmed down and slowly opened the lid of the box.

It contained the head of another female elementalist.

Antitina's face turned pale.

"That woman tastes good," Baron Grudin smiled slightly and replied: "But a gentleman does not take what others like. I heard that the wine glass made from the girl's skull is very delicious when used to hold wine. I don't think the Viscount has ever tried it. .As for the other one, consider it a gift——"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the hall heard a soft buzz.

They immediately saw that the sword on Brando's waist automatically trembled and popped out halfway. It buzzed and made a sharp sound, as if screaming for killing, and as if it was about to shoot out at the next moment; the young man's Both hands were pressed on the table, and they pursed their lips tightly without saying a word, but everyone felt a cold breath spreading from the young man's body——

There is substantial murderous intent.

The nobles sitting next to Brando were the first to bear the brunt. The knives and forks in their hands clinked and fell to the ground, and they were so shocked that they could not move. The cold breath spread forward, and the knights drew their swords one after another in an attempt to protect Grudin, who was smiling and seemed to be savoring the pleasure of toying with his opponent.

But the smile immediately froze on his face.

Because almost everyone present saw a layer of white frost climbing up the table - starting in front of Brando, the silver dinner plate 'crackled' and the porcelain exploded,

The cracked porcelain pieces shattered again and turned into smooth-edged particles or powder. The white frost moved forward, and for a while, the tableware on the table flew away, forming a faint white mist, like an invisible head. The giant beast was crossing the table and attacking Grudin directly opposite.

The two knights in front of the baron groaned, and the swords in their hands were broken into pieces. They immediately screamed and covered their eyes, and blood flowed from between their fingers.

However, the wailing in the hall was far less sudden than the shock in everyone's hearts. Because when they saw this scene, everyone could only think of one word——

Element sensing.

Even Brando didn't expect that he would understand the meaning of the elements in the state of rage; at that moment, he felt that his thoughts seemed to be in an endless black coldness, but the fight between the two hurt him. For others, Grudin's despicable and cowardly behavior completely exceeded the most taboo bottom line in his heart.

Brando felt disgusted, yes, it was a feeling of disgust born from the deepest part of his heart. He looked at this man who was wearing the skin of a baron but was filthy in his bones. The hypocritical smile on his face seemed to be distorted into a ridiculous abstract figure.

An impulse arose in his heart to make this filth disappear completely from this world.

But from the boundless anger, Brando had another realization. It was not cold murderous intent, but stillness - the space was still, obviously full of anger, but from this thought another thought of self-examination was born. This thought brought clarity to the young man's mind, as if he could see his anger from a detached perspective and calmly master it.

In other words, it's as if there are two Brando's at this moment. A Brando who was completely enveloped in boundless murderous intent, a Brando who calmly looked at this anger from a perspective of transcending himself.

Therefore, Brando found that he could completely control the anger in his heart.

He felt that his strength was increasing exponentially. This perception was integrated with the perception gained from his grandfather's battle. Brando finally touched a solid barrier.

he knows,

That is the wall of elements——

The moment he touched the wall, he felt a few extremely short words passing through his heart: quiet, still, stability. Then the wall ruthlessly bounced him back. Want to attack the elements of civilization? Not qualified enough

Then all the illusions collapsed, the spiritual world seemed to be shattered into pieces, and time resumed its flow in an instant, pulling him back to reality.

Then Brando heard an explosion like fried beans. Glass and porcelain exploded to pieces in front of him. The temperature in the hall seemed to drop by dozens of degrees, and the walls were covered with a thick layer of white frost.

The first thing Brando did when he raised his head was to put his hand on the silver-plated sword hilt. With just this action, Baron Grudin and the more than twenty knights behind him were forced to move forward by the invisible momentum. After taking a big step back, the chairs behind him all cracked and shattered into wooden fragments flying like butterflies.

"protect me"

Baron Grudin screamed.

Although the knights around him felt uncomfortable, they all had to pull out their swords and block them again under the order; what awaited them was Brando's ordinary sword——

The thumb and index finger rest on the cross guard, the little finger hooks the hilt of the sword, and the middle finger, ring finger and palm control the stability of the sword. The wrist swings from left to right, and the elbow and shoulder have drawn the simplest arc.

White Crow Swordsmanship.

Explosion of power——

No matter which aspect you look at it, this is the most basic swordsmanship. Just like the first sword struck by a beginner swordsman, the trajectory is clear and the intention is obvious. Even a slightly experienced person can easily judge how the sword should be struck.

However, none of the twenty black iron knights in the middle were able to dodge.

The sword seemed to be stretched in space, and the frightening cold light on the blade made everyone feel the biting coldness in their bones. The coldness climbed up each of their bodies, and then frost instantly formed, forming a thick layer of ice.

Element, ice.

Unable to move——

A white light swept across, and twenty heads flew high into the sky. At that moment, almost everyone was petrified, no, not just petrified, but too horrified to be able to stop themselves. There was a sound of chairs and utensils being turned over, and the nobles on both sides of the table rolled back and clung to the walls on both sides - not even caring about the coldness, as if they were afraid of getting close to this terrifying young man. Same around me.

Twenty ice sculptures fell down in front of him with a click, turning into lifeless corpses. This was the first time that the aura of death was so plainly displayed in front of Baron Grudin. Every time in his life, he had so calmly controlled the life and death of others, but at this moment he finally understood that when life is ruthlessly contained, the weak one is as weak as a drowning person who is unable to resist fate.

That is the deepest sorrow, and the most proud civilization of mankind has been completely trampled on.

He finally couldn't bear it anymore. He thought Brando was just a swordsman with average silver strength at best. This status is just on an equal footing with him, so of course they can use whatever means they can to give the other party a blow.

But now he finally realized that he was wrong, that was not a silver swordsman at all. Rather, it is a terrifying existence that has touched the edge of the elements. No, once the elements are civilized, it is already considered inhuman.

It turned out that the person sitting in front of him was not that easy to mess with, but a giant beast that chose people to eat.

Brando stood forward with a cold face, and the long table suddenly split into two pieces with a 'tearing' sound. Others didn't even see clearly how he took action. They only saw the young man moving forward, and there was no longer any obstacle between the Baron and him.

Brando said nothing, and pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword again.

"I am the lord of the kingdom——"

Grudin collapsed and couldn't help but wailed. He looked around in panic, hoping to see anyone coming to save him, but unfortunately, there was no one. Everyone was stunned. They did not expect that a banquet would develop into such a situation, or they did not expect that a strong man who touched the edge of the elements would come to a remote place.

Brando walked over step by step and looked at this guy as if he were looking at a dog.

His hands dropped, ready to take this guy's life.

But it was at this time that Brando felt a hand on his hand. He was slightly startled and turned around, only to see Akane holding the halberd upside down in one hand and looking at him seriously with amber eyes.

"Akane?"

The girl with red hair and ponytail looked at him and shook her head.
