Re-Awakening: I Ascend with a Legendary class

Chapter 270: Unfettered Blade Mayhem’s first stage--Spiraling Execution Blade

Twenty hours had passed by since Almond was training in the dimension of his weapon art token.

He stood with his sword held.

In front of him, Almond’s clone stood in the same position.

They were already clashing against each other in silence, their eyes reflected blades that otherwise were invisible to observe physically.

The blades bent and spiraled around beneath them, with their center point right under their feet, on the ground, but still, neither of them moved.

The spiral was only visible in each other eyes as they increased in size, clashing against each other eventually.

If it was Almond of twenty hours ago, his head would have rolled, beheaded.

But now, he had grasped the intent behind his clone’s blade and finally knew why his head always turned upside down after getting cut by his clone.

Almond’s eyes flashed, and he made the move, his physical body vanishing along the lines of spirals just like his clone before both of them clashed their clashed, their position meeting at the lines of spirals that interacted with each other.

Unfettered Blade Mayhem’s first stage—Spiraling Execution Blade.

A dreadful phenomenon occurred with their clash of attacks.

Two vertical spirals with golden edges flickered into existence as their swords clashed, the sharp edges of the spirals cutting each other.

But this time, Almond let go of his sword immediately after the clash, letting off his strength as the clone suddenly got pushed forward to find resistance vanishing while Almond went past him, his hand formed into a chop aimed at the clone’s neck.

As his chop brushed at the clone’s neck, a dark gold spiral bloomed, spinning intensely just for a second as it grew several meters while shredding around its neck as the clone’s head flew up and rotated upside down.

[Congratulations, you have successfully and flawlessly learned the first stage of Unfettered Blade Mayhem—Spiraling Execution Blade.]

Almond stood there, soaking in success as he closed his eyes.

Around him, a faint dark golden spiral materialized, storming and rotating with its dreadful edge that never seemed to wane as it only grew sharper.

’Intent of Spiral Edge....an edge that produces from a single point and grows into a spiral with its ever-increasing sharpness. The tougher the target, the larger the spiral, and sharper its edge.’

Almond opened his eyes as they whirled with a shiny golden spiral with sword-like blade edges he could feel the power of this intent within his grasp, under the rule of his thoughts.

’Spiraling Execution Blade....perfect name,’ Almond grinned.

Spiraling Execution Blade was a move composed of three steps, requiring great physical exertion and mana control.

Spiral Edge intent didn’t only have its ever-increasing sharpness but also had movement influencing power.

The first step was establishing a huge spiral with him as the center. This was possible with just a thought as he had comprehended the Spiral Edge intent.

A spiral had its origin point, and from there, Almond could move to its line. The greater the physical exertion, the faster and blindingly he would move.

This was the reason why the clone would initially vanish in front of him, and then attack him from the side or behind as his head would roll.

It was because he was within the clone’s spiral range!

"Here, I come," Almond said and suddenly, both Silvester and Hiroshi felt a certain pressure on them.

’The brat got quite a sword pressure. It seems we are within his intent’s range,’ Silvester’s eyes flickered.

’Yeah, it feels quite nasty. I can feel its power within a 30-meter radius,’ Hiroshi nodded, his focus on Almond.

’Interesting intent,’ Silvester grinned.

Suddenly, both of them saw Almond vanishing and their necks turning cold.

If someone played it in slow motion, Almond traveled circularly on his spiral’s edges from its point of origin, and due to its rather long distance, the gathered momentum and power behind his slash was immense.

His wooden sword’s edge aimed at the old monster Silvester and Hiroshi’s neck and both of their swords also timely clashed against Almond with their full power to defend against it.

Almond was already past them, but the spiral blooming out when his sword struck their swords destroyed their swords, shredding before a line appeared around their necks.

"Crap," Silvester muttered as he rubbed his neck, his Fortification shattered at the last moment.

The same happened with Hiroshi as both of them looked at each other and then turned around to look at Almond who was smiling at them.

"How the heck did you learn this level of weapon art?"

"Yeah, you didn’t create it, right? I won’t believe that."

Almond coughed and dryly chuckled, "Yeah, well, I didn’t create it. But something else created it. A device called Synthesis Forge of Eternal Power that you may encounter as a reward by completing hidden challenges in the Labyrinth."

"So, how was it?" Almond asked as he rubbed his nose while smiling.

"It was stronger than the weapon arts we created, that’s for sure," Elder Silvester weakly smiled.

"Indeed. And what’s the name of intent you comprehended?" Elder Hiroshi curiously asked.

"It’s called Spiral Edge."

Both old monsters muttered their names, their eyes glinting.

"That’s an interesting name for an intent."

"What about you two?" Almond blinked. "I am curious about your Intents."

"Mine is Cherryblossom Shard," Elder Hiroshi said with a smile.

"The one I grasped and use in my attacks is called Steller Cut," Elder Silvester grinned.

"Nice, they sound cool."

"Intents are all-powerful, but the attack you executed and how you used your intent was interesting. Compared to that, it felt like we only used half of the power of our intents in designing our attacks," Elder Hiroshi said thoughtfully.

"Indeed, it seems we got much to learn, haha. Thanks, brat. I got solid insight with this," Elder Silvester laughed.

"Glad to be of help," Almond chuckled. "Now, I’ll go and leave you two be. It’s time that I finish my sub-class quests and awaken it."
