Pirates of the Peak

Chapter 1125 Instant Kill

The flying sand and stones in the valley gradually settled down amidst the lingering power of the thunder. Before the dust had even settled, Vic turned to look at Luffy in the distance and said in a deep voice:

"Luffy! Go check on Loki later and comfort him—don't let him go after Im again."

Luffy punched a knight away with his giant fist, then grinned and nodded.

After greeting Luffy, Vic walked over to Im. Although Loki was seriously injured, he had not lost his fighting ability; he was just shocked by Im's strength!

That despair of "being unable to reach it no matter how hard he struggled" plunged this proud warrior into silence, and he became somewhat self-destructive!

Vic knew that without breaking through to the realm of gods, everyone was just an ant in front of Im, and in the end, he would have to shoulder the burden of this final battle.

Turning to walk towards the center of the battlefield, Vic's gaze swept over Im, who was suspended in mid-air.

Along the way, the phantom beasts summoned by Im through the transformation of the ethereal into reality, along with Bai Luoluo and the other two, stood like statues, their scarlet eyes fixed on him, yet they remained motionless!

Clearly, without Im's new orders, they were merely puppets waiting to be deployed. This was also why Vic was able to stand safely beside Rayleigh and Jabba, observing the battle.

"It seems I'm the only one who can be your opponent!"

Looking at Im hovering in mid-air, Vic said with some helplessness, "Judging from the performance of Luffy, Loki, Shanks, Dragon, and Ace, there is still a considerable gap between them and the strong in the God Realm, and the gap between them and Im is even greater!"

Vic has given up on them. The only one who can still help him is old man Garp. As for that mysterious god-level expert, he no longer has any hope for him either!

"you?"

Im hovered beneath the thunderclouds, her voice filled with piercing disdain. Although she acknowledged Vic's talent and was optimistic about his future, he needed a future too. Right now, she didn't take Vic seriously at all!

Im is preparing to usher in a new era, so people like Vic will never be able to board the Ark. They will just be among the masses buried in the ruins of history, without even the right to leave their names in history!

Disdain transformed into killing intent, and the thundercloud that had been split in two in the sky suddenly roared and thundered. Hundreds of lightning bolts, like silver snakes breaking free from their restraints, plunged down with earth-shattering power. The dense lightning pillars intertwined to form a net of apocalyptic calamity, covering Vic from above!

Hundreds of lightning bolts, each powerful enough to devour a fleet, raced forward, while Vic stood there unmoved, his black robes fluttering in the gale, his eyes as calm as a deep pool.

Just as the first bolt of lightning was about to strike his head, a bizarre scene unfolded—all the lightning bolts, as if drawn by an invisible force, suddenly changed direction and swarmed towards the undead monsters under Im's command, like bees returning to their hive!

The Five Elders hurriedly activated their Armament Haki, as did the Divine Knights, while the Primal Demons fled in disarray, letting out piercing roars.

But these hundreds of lightning bolts seemed to have eyes, precisely avoiding everyone on Vic's side. Each lightning bolt carried the wrath of Thor, striking the enemy fiercely.

Screams rose and fell as two apprentice knights, unable to dodge in time, were struck directly through the body by lightning. Their clothes were torn, their bodies charred, and they collapsed to the ground, completely incapacitated!

Even the veteran Five Elders were struck by lightning, their bodies convulsing, blood spilling from their mouths, and their domineering defenses cracking with countless fissures.

"My nickname is Thor. You think this nickname is just for fun? Don't think that just because you control that thundercloud you can control lightning. If I want to, that thundercloud is just an ordinary rain cloud. It won't even give you a spark!"

Vic slowly raised his hand, his fingertips crackling with tiny sparks of electricity, his tone laced with icy mockery!

He could naturally hear the disdain in Im's tone just now, and instead of refuting it verbally, he immediately retaliated!

Even if his lightning laws were not perfected, he had already reached the realm of "words becoming law." The lightning that Im summoned through the thunderclouds was like his own hunting dog in front of him; how could it possibly turn against its master?

"kill him!"

Im's face darkened, and he secretly urged the thundercloud twice, but the once extremely violent dark cloud was now as docile as a lamb, not even a flash of lightning, let alone thunder.

Being publicly humiliated by a mere "mortal" enraged Im, who had ruled the world for hundreds of years. His icy voice echoed through the valley, issuing a kill order to the trio and the phantom beasts who had materialized from the void!

The moment the order was given, the deathly silent battlefield erupted once more!

"Roar!"

"Ow!"

"Chirp!"

"kill!"

Rocks broke free from Luffy and Ace's grasp, his burned arm instantly regenerating; Whitebeard shook off Akainu's magma fist, the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit causing the earth to tremble; Roger grinned, his sword "Ace" wreathed in Conqueror's Haki, striking Vick like a golden lightning bolt; the Azure Dragon roared to the sky, tearing the heavens apart, the griffin's claws gleamed with cold light, the Yamata no Orochi's tongue flickered with venom, and the Western Dragon's wings whipped up a gale, its roars shaking the air as it surrounded Vick.

Vic's eyes narrowed, but he showed no fear. He didn't take these phantom beasts and Roger and the others seriously. He could knock these puppets away and defeat them before, and he could do it again now!

Even the Western dragon that had caused him two losses was not of much concern to Vic. He had already seen through its fighting style of combining laws—it was just relying on the large number of laws and the tricky timing of its sneak attacks. If it were to be confronted head-on, it would be nothing to mention.

Hey! You've gone too far!

A cold voice rang in the ears of the Western Dragon. With the speed field boost, Vic's figure appeared behind the dragon's head as if he had teleported. His first target was the Western Dragon!

When Vic arrived behind it, the Western dragon was still charging towards the spot where Vic had been standing.

Upon hearing the sound, it turned its head without hesitation, opened its huge mouth, and a beam of bright white destructive light shot out, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound that tore through space, heading straight for Vic's heart!

Kovic's speed had long exceeded its reaction limit. He slightly shifted his body, and a beam of white light grazed past his black robe, slamming into the distant mountain wall and blasting open a huge crater tens of meters in diameter, sending debris and dust soaring into the sky.

Before the Western Dragon could finish unleashing its beam of light, Vic drew his sword and slashed, appearing directly in front of the Western Dragon. The horizontal sword in his hand flashed with cold light, like a meteor streaking across the night, with faint spatial ripples swirling around its blade!

"Shh-"

The blade flashed and disappeared in an instant; Vic had already sheathed his sword.

The massive body of the Western dragon froze in mid-air. The next second, the huge head of the dragon was neatly severed from its neck, spinning and falling with a residual beam of shimmering white light. It crashed to the ground, triggering a series of explosions, with flames shooting into the sky and smoke billowing everywhere.

The headless dragon corpse slammed into the ground with a deafening roar due to inertia, causing the earth to collapse and raising clouds of dust.

Although the Western dragon is slightly stronger than the Azure Dragon and the Phoenix, its advantage lies only in the fact that it has mastered more laws and can cooperate with each other. It also chose the right time to attack Vic, which is why Vic was able to be hit twice!

But as long as Vic gets serious about dealing with it, it's not a difficult task at all. Just like now, if Vic wanted to, he could take it down with a single slash!

After defeating the Western Dragon, Vic didn't stop. A flash of lightning appeared beneath his feet, and he instantly teleported in front of Whitebeard.

This legendary pirate, who could transform the ethereal into the real, still maintained the physique of his prime. His bulging muscles were as if forged from steel, and his massive body surged forward with an indomitable momentum, the oppressive feeling like a mountain pressing down.

Seeing Vic suddenly appear, Whitebeard's eyes narrowed. He abandoned the idea of ​​swinging his sword and clenched his right fist. A semi-transparent vibrational force enveloped his fist like a bubble. Using the force of his forward thrust, he slammed it down hard on Vic's head!

Even just the vibrational power at the awakened level is enough to tear apart the sea and split islands!
