Chapter 108: Preparations for Going Back to the Continent (1)
The sun rose slowly from the sea in the east, emitting a soft and warm red light. Several seagulls flew up and down in the sky, making a crisp chirping sound. Waves of waves hit the yellow sandy beach, leaving behind some colorful and beautiful shells from time to time.
Ulysses took a deep breath, focused his attention on his hands, and slowly closed his eyes.
"Boom! Boom!" In his ears, the sound of waves and the chirping of seagulls gradually disappeared, and the heartbeats gradually became clear.
"Come out! Judgment of Abyss!" Suddenly, Ulysses' eyes opened, and as he shouted, a dark red giant sword appeared in his hand from the void.
"Ah!" He firmly grasped the giant sword in his hand, and then swiped a sword toward the endless blue sea with all his strength.
With the loud noise of "Boom!", a huge black sword energy blasted out from the huge sword in his hand, easily tearing apart the originally calm sea. On the sea surface where this sword energy passed, a huge crack with a width of several meters appeared, and the crack extended tens of meters long before disappearing. Countless fish and shrimps were stunned by the shock caused by this blow and floated to the surface.
Driven by the waves, the stunned fish and shrimps were washed to the shore one after another.
"Mhm! Today's harvest is not bad! Ah! This kind of shrimp is Helen's favorite. Sadly, there are not many. This fish is also good, Rasputin will definitely like it." Ulysses was happy after casting out the earth-shattering slash. He ran to the shore and began to pick up the fish and shrimp that had been stunned.
In a short while, Ulysses picked up the delicious fish and shrimp from the pile of fish and shrimp that had been washed ashore. In this way, the special training that he recently had in the morning was over.
After gaining the ability to freely summon the weakened version of demon sword Judgment of Abyss, Ulysses had one more training to do every day. The purpose of this training was to fully grasp the power of Judgment of Abyss, because the purpose of practicing swordsmanship was not to kill, so it was crucial to obtain full control of Judgment of Abyss. In this way, he could control his own strength in battle so as not to injure the innocent.
In the first few days of training, as long as he waved his sword energy, the dark power attached to the Judgment of Abyss would completely wipe out the creatures on the nearby sea, not even leaving the bodies behind. However, as he became familiar with the power in Judgment of Abyss, he was slowly able to control the power in Judgment of Abyss. Recently, he had been able to just stun the fish and shrimp in the sea as before without killing them all, which was just like what he did just now. Using those stunned fish and shrimps as food ingredients was nothing more than an additional task of training, but because of the strong demands of Rasputin and the others, this additional task seemed to have a tendency to take over the training itself...
"Alas! I am such a terrible demon king!" Thinking of this, Ulysses sighed. Using the sword of the demon king to fish, if he let Aya know about this kind of thing, he didn't know what Aya would say. However, she hadn't been by his side very much recently. According to her, she was trying to build a vehicle back to the continent, but it was strange that she didn't tell him what the vehicle she was building was.
What exactly is Aya building? Is it a boat? But with her small body and without my help, how is she able to build a boat? Or is it another type of transportation?' Maybe the only means of transportation on the sea should be boats. For a moment, Ulysses was lost in thought.
"Good morning! Ulysses! How is your Phantasm's practice?" Rasputin's voice came from behind him, interrupting his thinking.
"Mhm! Very smooth! If this goes on, I should be able to fully recover soon, and then I will be able to take you back to the continent." Ulysses smiled and answered Rasputin's question. Recalling the surprises on their faces when he told Rasputin and Cherie that he could use his Phantasm again a few days ago, for the first time, he felt that Judgment of Abyss, the sword of a demon king, was not actually such a bad thing. At least because of it, they would have the opportunity to leave this deserted island.
"That's great! To be honest, the condition on this deserted island is really terrible. Especially for girls, you can't even buy clothes or jewelry, and you can only eat fat bread, fish and shrimp every day. It's really unbearable. And most importantly, there is not even a drop of wine here, it's hell!" Recalling the time Ulysses told them that his power had slowly recovered and they could leave the deserted island soon, Rasputin was indescribably happy.
"Rasputin! It's not that I want to criticize you, girls shouldn't drink too much alcohol! And you are still a mage. If you drink too much..." Ulysses looked at the excited Rasputin hesitantly, and finally felt that he should persuade her.
"Well, if you say that, then I will drink less. However, there is no alcohol on this deserted island, so this is actually meaningless." Rasputin hesitated and accepted Ulysses' advice.
"Actually, I have a little alcohol here. But I didn't know you actually like drinking, so I didn't take it out. Would you like some?" Seeing that Rasputin seemed to have accepted his advice, Ulysses thought after a while and told Rasputin that he had alcohol.
"What, you have wine!" Rasputin exclaimed, her eyes lit up suddenly, and she started to stare at Ulysses like a wolf staring at prey, she almost drooled.
"Ah! U... l... ssess! Can you give me some? You don't seem to drink wine anyway! Please, just a little bit is fine." Rasputin moved to Ulysses's side with lightning speed, and then used a pleading tone that made him sweat behind his back.
"Uh! Rasputin, don't look at me like that! Didn't I say that I will give you some!" Seeing Rasputin's look at him like a wolf staring at Little Red Riding Hood, Ulysses somehow thought of the little demon, Aya. Her gaze now was very similar to the gaze Aya had when she was having some mischievous idea.
"Then take it out now. Please... I can't wait anymore! Wuwu! You don't know how dark the days without wine were! Hurry up." Rasputin said coquettishly like a little girl.
"Alright!" Unable to bear Rasputin's coquettish plea, Ulysses took out a jug of wine and a cup from the Dark Dimension Space.
"Mhm! Girls can't drink too much, two glasses should be enough. Ah! Rasputin, what are you doing!" Just when Ulysses was about to pour the wine from the jug into the glass and pass it to Rasputin, Rasputin suddenly snatched the jug from his hand quickly, and ran away at lightning speed. Ulysses could only watch her back disappear into the woods dumbfounded.
Sigh! Forget it, there is only a jug of wine anyway, even if Rasputin drank all of it, it shouldn't be a big problem. But it was really unexpected that she is actually an alcoholic. Ordinary girls wouldn't like this kind of thing, right? Is there any special reason as to why she is an alcoholic?' Seeing Rasputin's back disappearing in his sight, Ulysses sighed and then began to guess why she had such a hobby.
But after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't find any suitable reason to explain this matter, so he soon put the question behind him.
"Next! It's time to continue practicing swordsmanship!" Ulysses took out an ordinary sword from the Dark Dimension Space and began to practice daily practice.
"Quick Sword Inferno!!!"
"The Sword of Victory!!!" Since he currently only had these two moves, further perfecting these two moves had become Ulysses' recent training goal. In constant practice, he began to slowly master his current limits. Take Quick Sword Inferno as an example. Now if he didn't use the power of Judgment of Abyss, he could probably use it dozens of times. The strongest move, the Sword of Victory, could only be used once, and it would be dangerous to use it again.
But this was on the premise of not using the realm of infinite desire, if he could stimulate the power of the realm of infinite desire, he should be able to improve a lot. As for the use of the unrestricted Judgment of Abyss, he had not tried it yet. In fact, if allowed, he never wanted to use that kind of power far beyond his limit. With the ideal of being a respected priest, he really didn't like the power that could kill all life.
"Hiss! Hiss!" Countless sword shadows burst into the air around Ulysses, and the practice continued...
On the other side of the desert island, Aya was floating in the air, and Helen followed her. In front of them was a girl with holy green pupils, wearing steel armor, and holding a golden sword.
"Arcelia! Helen! Destroy all these things for me!" Aya's slender finger pointed at the huge black shadow in front of them.
