Chapter 717: Volume 21: The Dark Path Chapter 3: Ultimate Showdown (1)

Seeing that the evil spirit he had released from the Soul Refining Sword did not achieve the expected effect, and his opponent merely showed a hint of surprise before launching a powerful Cold Fighting Energy that solidified and shattered the evil spirit, Kaiserlon for the first time felt the troublesome nature of his opponent.

The evil spirit sealed within the body of the Soul Refining Sword was no ordinary spirit. Although he had not released the demon sealed by his Master during an adventure on the Continent, it was a millennia-old evil spirit he had conquered in his adventures. Its powerful erosive force had been somewhat strenuous to deal with even when he had not used the Soul Refining Sword, so he was surprised that his opponent had easily nullified it, showing a skill far superior to his own. The ease with which his adversary dealt with the assault from the evil spirit of the Dark Abyss indeed shocked Kaiserlon.
