Chapter 693: Leviathan!
The dark vortex within the abyss's gaping maw continued to compress!
Everything on the ice field was drawn to it.
gravel.
Broken blade.
They all flew into the dark vortex in mid-air.
Luffy knelt on one knee in the shattered ice, his hands gripping the hilt of the first legendary sword tightly.
The sword was held horizontally in front of his chest.
The white light from Nika has faded.
All that's left is a flesh and blood body, stubbornly holding on in the center of the gravitational storm.
The ice beneath our feet made a piercing tearing sound.
Cracks spread from below his knees.
He wants to leave the center of gravity, but he can't do it now.
Chenye floated high in the sky.
He stared at the dark vortex within Im's demonized abyssal maw.
Shot.
His body leaned forward half an inch.
Then it stopped.
He's about to make his move!
But we can't fight now.
We can't fight now, at least not right now.
He would wait until the gravity of Im's demonized maw of the abyss disappeared.
He suppressed his attack, but the first divine sword below rang out.
A sharp sword cry rang out.
This voice is not protecting its master.
It is hostility.
Pure hatred, even after spanning hundreds of years, has never diminished.
The sword exploded with white light, no longer protecting Luffy, but rushing towards the demonized Im.
It tries to break free from Luffy and pounce on its nemesis.
Two forces are locked in a standoff.
One white and one black.
The allied forces on Elbaf were in complete disarray.
Some people are afraid, some are trembling!
Many people simply looked up, staring at the dark shadow that blotted out the sky, their minds blank.
"Where is Luffy now?!"
A giant warrior roared and raised his warhammer to charge.
A wall of blue fire stood in front of him.
Marco spread his phoenix wings, and blue flames drew an arc, blocking more than a dozen charging warriors.
His face was pale, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
His Observation Haki swept over the demonized Im.
"All wounded, retreat!"
"Those without Conqueror's Haki, retreat to the second line of defense, and leave now!"
Marco's voice drowned out the noise.
Without hesitation, Sabo grabbed two trembling warriors and dragged them to the back.
Beckman crouched behind a bunker.
He squinted, using his Observation Haki to sense the monster before him.
After perceiving so much!
He lowered his gun and shook his head at the sniper next to him.
Don't even try!
We can't hurt him with our strength!
On the other side of the battlefield, Rocks and Whitebeard moved simultaneously.
No discussion.
No dialogue.
The two locked eyes and attacked simultaneously.
Rocks' black flame longsword dragged out an arc-shaped slash, and black and red sword energy swept out along the ground.
Whitebeard's Murakumogiri cleaved straight down, the shockwave from the blade penetrating the earth and spreading beneath the surface.
Two forces slammed into the demonized Im's right forelimb, one after the other.
The black flame slash arrived first.
The sword energy tore through Im's defenses, carving a half-meter-long scorch mark on the scales, and black flames began to erode along the wound.
The shockwave arrived, and a powerful shockwave poured in from the crack, causing the surrounding scales to bounce up and become displaced.
A muffled thud.
Leviathan's right forelimb paused.
A shallow crack appeared on the scales.
then.
The faint mark disappeared.
In a short while, the scales were restored to their original state, without even leaving a trace.
Lox's pupils contracted for a moment.
The white-bearded man's expression was also very serious.
The two of them tested each other with all their might, enough to tear any opponent apart.
But the monster simply took the hit with its scales and recovered as if it had just been bitten by a mosquito.
The demonized Im growled.
All that could be seen was an invisible shockwave.
Rushing towards the two!
The ground beneath Lockes' feet cracked, and spiderweb-like fissures extended for tens of meters.
He swayed, then plunged his black flame sword into the ground to steady himself.
Whitebeard fared better; he used Conqueror's Haki to withstand the shockwave and managed to stabilize himself.
The two stopped fighting.
It's not fear, it's a re-examination.
The monster before them was more terrifying than any enemy they had ever encountered before.
far away.
Elbaf Royal Palace.
The top of the palace was mostly destroyed.
Aruru sat on the throne, his aged body swaying in the wind.
She kept her head tilted back, looking towards the battlefield through the cracks in the dome.
She saw it, the colossal black beast standing between heaven and earth.
Aruru's fingers suddenly gripped the armrest of the throne tightly.
She slowly stood up.
The palace guards on both sides were startled and rushed forward to help him up.
Haildin immediately stepped forward and asked.
"Elder, what kind of monsters are those on the battlefield?"
Yaru did not answer.
She stared at the monster, trying to confirm the image deep in her memory.
She spoke after a moment, her voice slightly hurried.
"Go underground. Open the third sealed chamber."
The giant guards looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Let's go now!"
Yaru's voice rose in pitch.
Two giant warriors ran into the depths of the palace.
Yaru stared at the giant beast in the distance, her hands trembling.
It's not fear.
It is a shock that transcends the long years, impacting her memories.
It is an ancient memory of the giants!
In ancient times, the sun god and the war god joined forces to suppress a black behemoth that was entangled in the roots of the world tree.
She heard countless stories from her elders when she was a child.
He thought his elders were talking about myths.
Now, that monster from the fable stands atop Elbaf.
A moment later, the two giant warriors returned.
The two men carried a broken stone slab back to the main hall.
The stone slab is half the height of a giant, with broken edges and cracks all over, but the relief in the center is still very clear.
Yaru shoved the guard aside and staggered to the stone slab.
A black behemoth is carved on the stone slab, entwined around the roots of the World Tree.
The outline of the giant beast on the stone slab is exactly the same as the monster on the battlefield.
Exactly the same.
"Elder, this..."
The guard looked at the stone slab, then at Yaru's aged face, his voice trembling.
This is no ordinary demon.
They are the common enemy of both the sun god and the god of war.
Yaru's voice echoed throughout the empty hall.
She raised her finger and pointed to the part of the stone slab where the black beast was entwined with the roots of the World Tree.
"It once swallowed the tides."
"Pollution of the earth."
"This forced the ancient giants to set aside all their conflicts and join the war of the gods."
"The scale of that war..."
She paused for a moment.
"It's bigger than any war you can imagine."
Only Yaru's voice remained in the main hall.
Aruru shifted his gaze from the stone slab and looked back at the monster on the battlefield.
She called out that name.
"Leviathan".
The two words were not spoken loudly, but the royal messenger giant was already waiting.
The messenger raised the horn to his lips, transforming Yaru's voice into a bugle call, which then spread across the battlefield.
The sound of bugles pierced through the wind and snow, reaching the ears of every soldier who could still stand.
"Leviathan"
Many of the coalition soldiers didn't understand this name.
But the older giant warriors, those giants who had read some ancient books, turned deathly pale instantly.
Morale has not recovered.
It's actually lower now.
They heard awe in Yaru's tone, something deeper than fear.
High in the sky, Chen Ye heard the name carried by the horn.
Leviathan.
The moment those three words appeared, all the fragments of intelligence were instantly pieced together.
Im's demonization.
The hatred-filled sword cry of the first-generation divine sword.
Luffy's Nikka form is exhausted.
All of them are correct!
Im's trump card is the ancient demon.
Leviathan's devouring attack, its size overwhelming even the strongest, but it was extremely afraid of the sun god Nika.
Im waited until Luffy exhausted Nika before transforming, precisely because he wanted to wait for the protection of the Sun God to disappear.
Only in this way can it appear safely.
This is Im's true trump card after eight hundred years.
It is not the sword of the law.
It is not the authority over the land.
It's demonization.
Leviathan heard his own name called.
The enormous head turned, and its blood-red eyes moved away from the allied forces.
Looking towards the Royal Palace of Elbaf.
The bugle call came from there.
It stared at the tiny figure through the gap in the palace dome for a moment.
Then he lowered his head.
The blood-red giant eye locked onto the center of the battlefield once again.
The figure kneeling on the ground was locked in focus.
Luffy.
Im confirmed the priorities.
Once Nika is eliminated, I can rest easy.
Luffy felt himself being locked onto by that gaze.
He struggled to prop himself up inch by inch.
He didn't look back at anyone!
He aimed the tip of the divine sword, which had returned to his hand, at Leviathan.
The sword was trembling.
His whole body was shaking.
It pointed directly at the center of those two giant, blood-red eyes.
Luffy didn't say anything.
The fact that he stood up showed his determination at that moment.
Even when his Nika form's time is up, he will still stand in front of everyone.
The dark vortex that Leviathan spoke of completed its final compression.
The size of a fist.
A black orb of light, the size of a fist, floated in its mouth.
This strike was enough to wipe out an island.
