Time Travel: Age of Discovery

He was seen holding a sword in his right hand, standing three feet away from Taiya. The sword energy was like a fan, slashing down at the enemy. What was amazing was that when Soders swung the sword, the sword body actually emitted bursts of shrill whistling sounds, like the howling of ghosts and wolves, which was very terrifying.

Facing the fierce sword energy, Taiya didn't dodge. Instead, he met it with a punch. The impact of his fist on the sword energy caused sparks to fly. The piercing whistling sound grew sharper until Taiya's punch broke the energy, and the sound gradually faded. The spectators on the field had forgotten to cheer. Many nearby spectators covered their ears, their faces showing pain.

In a flash, Soders circled to Taya's left, his hands gripping the hilt of his sword. His steps were light and silent. With one final leap, the sword flashed directly at Taya's face. Taya shifted slightly, avoiding Soders's attack, the sword glancing past his collar. Taya leaned sideways, striking with a sharp right elbow. Soders dodged hastily, looking slightly embarrassed.

However, Taiya didn't give Soders a chance to breathe. He advanced, spinning and kicking him sideways. Soders took the blow head-on, tumbling several times on the ground like a projectile before finally rising to his feet. After several exchanges, Taiya realized that Soders's swordsmanship was comparable to that of other swordsmen he had fought before. Perhaps he relied on the power of the demonic sword. The difference in strength was clearly visible when Soders wasn't drawing his sword.

The demon sword is indeed strange. Taiya whispered, turning his gaze to Soders, and from his expression, he could see that the other party was getting a little impatient.

Indeed, Soders was terribly anxious. When the demonic sword was unsheathed, blood would inevitably flow. The masked man before him was as powerful as a wall, filling him with despair, like an insurmountable wall. Yet, deep within, a glimmer of faith sustained him, and he refused to give up.

The demon sword has corroded his character, Taiya said in a deep voice.

"You have tried your best? Do you want to continue? I am running out of time." These words seemed to ignite Sodes's anger. He growled and the aura around him became even colder.

"Broken Blade, you will be the master from now on." The sharp sword chime echoed, like a cold sneer. Soders stood still, head bowed, as silent as when he first appeared.

Suddenly, the sword emanated a startling aura, forming an invisible barrier around Sodes. The aura poured into his body, eventually exploding with a bang, transforming into pale green smoke.

Taiya was also shocked by this sudden scene. Is there such a use for a demon sword? A Jinchūriki?

Hehehe, you're the first person to force me to unleash the Ghostly Roaring Body. This is a technique I've diligently practiced, originally intended to deal with that person. The smoke dissipated, and Soders, sword in one hand, stood there, giving off a completely different vibe.

He, who had previously relied on the demonic sword, now seemed to become its own, a strange and inexplicable thing. Soders's eyes turned pale green, flickering with a faint light, filling Taiya with fear. Taiya let out a soft cry, calming her mind, and the feeling dissipated.

"Huh, are you a human or a ghost now?" Sodes did not answer Taya's unreasonable question. He just held the sword in his hand, jumped suddenly, and rushed towards Taya like a cannonball.

"Hmph!" Taya's arms instantly hardened, neutralizing Soders's slashing blows, but Soders followed with a frantic, swift attack. No fancy moves, only frantic slashing. This was Soders's method at the moment, with only one thought in mind: to chop Taya into pieces.

This meant that Soders had abandoned the last line of defense of his swordsman's heart, completely surrendering his body and soul to the demon sword, or rather, he had become the demon sword. But in Soders's eyes, he was the master of the Broken Blade. As long as he could surpass his opponent in strength, even if he became a demon, it wouldn't matter.

Sodes' strength and speed increased greatly. The two fought from the ground to the air, with swords, fists and feet clashing and the sound of swords and fists never stopped.

Are you really going to force me to use the Ryuying body?

Although Taiya was confident of defeating the opponent directly by using the Six Kings Spear or the Ryuukaku Spear, a direct hit would be difficult given Soders's current offensive frequency. If Taiya could use the Six Styles to assist his attacks, even two more would be no match for Soders in his Demon Blade form. However, until the truth was revealed, the Six Styles would be too conspicuous, and the risk of being exposed was too great.

Looking at the smirking Soders before him, Taiya frowned, a thought stirring. The pattern on the back of his right hand gradually grew warmer, and Taiya had made his decision.

If this move is used, the battle can be concluded quickly, but at this moment there is only the fifth move. Should I use it now?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Taiya's mind, and he retracted the mark. Forming a claw with one hand, Taiya used Ryusakura to repel Soders's frenzied attack, creating some distance.

The thought gradually took shape, and Taiya smiled.

"Interesting, I hope this plan works."

……

At this moment, Soders gazed at Taiya with a playful expression. Judging from the situation, the tide of battle had been turned by him, leaving Taiya on the defensive, unable to effectively counterattack. Even Taiya's Ryuo attack only forced Soders back, without injuring him at all.

As expected, the path I chose was the right one. Soders firmly believed that using the demon sword was the right approach. In his view, the opponent named Carlos was doomed to fail.

From a distance, Taiya was in no rush to attack, and Soders, confident of victory, was in no hurry to launch a new wave of suppression. Sometimes, a thought is like a shooting star on a summer night, fleeting. But in that moment, those who gaze at the stars have truly witnessed a shooting star, and that fleeting thought, like an arc streaking across the sky, is etched deep in their memory.

To come up with a battle strategy and put it into practice under such circumstances was truly audacious, reflecting his confidence in his own abilities.

As he sarcastically said: "It's not that I can't beat you, I just regard every battle as training."

Drawing inspiration from battle and mastering new techniques is the path Taiya has always followed. Although Taiya is unsure whether he can master the physical skills of the other world, if he can reach a certain level in the physical skills of this world, it will be enough to roam the sea without any obstacles.
