Chapter 397: The reason behind the Mo's List!
Translator: Radiant Translations Editor: Radiant Translations
The changes that happened in this duel were too interesting! His opponent had completely changed Eddie's perception with his extraordinary strength! Eddie had initially assumed that there would be no one in the CHF other than those figures on the Mo's List that were able to force him to use his full strength . However, at this very moment, the person before him possessed the adequate qualifications for him to do so!
Tilting his waist slightly, a blood red, oddly shaped short knife appeared in Eddie's hand .
"You're the first opponent that's worthy to be its target!"
The appearance of the short knife in Eddie's hand was too strange and weird looking . It was slightly longer than a dagger, yet had only one sharp edge/ However, there were many multi-sized holes on its surface, with even more on its handle . If one takes a cursory glance, it would appear like a crude, shoddy and broken toy . However, if one were to take a close look, one would feel that those messily placed holes and openings gave of a perfect cadence and rhythm that would make one's heart palpitate . Fusing with the dark red splendour of the knife, they gave an illusion of flowing light radiating out from it towards all directions!
After a few moments of doubt, the Skylink shows signs of a chat-xplosion once again . What's that broken knife? Was that a failed product of the Brooks Family?
"Regardless of who you are, today's the day you'll fall . " all of a sudden, Eddie voice rang out in a what seemed like a demonic tone, appearing melodious and dreamlike . People with slightly less resolute and firm minds felt as though they could see waves of music radiating out of him as he spoke . "Experience the strength of the Musical Soul Blade, and you'll regret resisting all the way to this point!"
Soul Power visible to the naked eye started to surge out from him, appearing just like a heat haze of the desert that enveloped his entire body!
With a slight twitch of the left hand, he slowly raised it up, causing the dark red short knife in his hand to draw a perfect half circle in the air . The heat haze formed by his Soul Power started to merge with the surrounding air, which was funnelled into the holes present throughout the knife . As they exited from its various openings, various kinds of strange and weird sounds were made . As those noises fused together, they sounded ear-piercing, melodious, hurried, extensive at the same time . However, for those who were unable to identify the intertwining tones, all of them had felt a slightly peculiar feeling appearing within their hearts .
. . . . . .
Bierlia City has always been the most famous cultural hotspot of the Federation, and was nicknamed as the flourishing ground for arts, the city of music and capital of romance . During the dark era, it had seemingly gathered all of the creativity of mankind, causing countless artists and musicians to be born within it .
Zac Brooks was born in Bierlia City, and possessed the purest bloodline of this family of assassins . At the age of 3, he had already awakened his Soul Power, while his nimble and deft fingers were akin to the hands of gods . At the age of 8, he was already able to master the Blade Art, 4 Blade Stream! He was recognized to be the most outstanding genius of the Brooks Family, with the nickname of God's Hand!
However, it was a pity that he did not use his talents for the "right track" . Perhaps due to being born in the city of music, the capital of romance, Zac wasn't enthusiastic about killing people . Instead, he was infatuated by music, and had even sunk into the river of love with a beautiful music teacher . The talent of God's Hands was utilised by him on a piano, quickly causing his name to be universally known by those of the music community . If an ordinary person were able to become a music grandmaster like Zac, one would definitely be considered to be fortunate to have led a glorious life . However, Zac was no ordinary person . Being the successor of a family of assassins, the high hopes of his family were pinned on him . Yet, he had squandered his talents on something as senseless as music . To his family, the 10 fingers fluttering about on the keys of the piano had become their greatest source of shame and embarrassment!
After countless failed attempts to advise and change his decision, the Brooks Family's anticipation and hopes had turned in to disappointment, before reach despair and infuriation . This coward the only wants to play with music was the shame and embarrassment for an aristocratic assassin family!
Therefore, Zac's status within his family dropped by a landslide, and was sent to till the fields in a desolated part of the wilderness, all until his wife passed away .
Eddie Brooks!
He possessed a more eye-catching level of talent and obstinate nature than his father! After Eddie's fame and reputation had emerged, he had re-entered the sights of the Brooks Family . Nonetheless, the journey wasn't smooth sailing, as needed to endure for the "wrongdoings" that his father had committed . This was the reason why the Brooks Family had always nurtured and propped Yingren up . To them, Eddie could only be the training partner and shadow for Yingren .
Perhaps it was due to the influence of his childhood, being born in the capital of romance, or even due to him wanting to clear his father's name, Zac's talent and strong attachment to music were preserved in Eddie .
The Brooks Family was incomparably worried before that this son would eventually walk down the same path as his father . However, such thoughts and worry were quickly tossed down the drain . Unlike the "weak and cowardly" Zac, Eddie was able to fuse killing people, music, the way of an assassin and art together . At this instant he had created his Musical Soul Blade, he had changed his destiny, walking out of the shadows to become the captain of the CHF Bierlia Academy squadron .
At this moment, he would use this unique dagger of his to start the open his path to glory and honour . It wasn't for the Brooks Family, but for his exceptionally gifted father . For the sake of his mother, his father had given up on fighting and everything else to be a wife-protecting husband . Being their son, he wanted to wash away all the shame and embarrassment his father had suffered .
No one will be able to obstruct his path!
As the Musical Soul blade was waved around in the Soul Power infused surroundings, a bewitching tone rang out across the entire stage . The sound appeared illusionary and dreamlike, causing a feeling of intoxication akin to be in a paradise . Even those people watching from afar and via the Skylink could feel themselves been entranced .
"Bewitching dance! Soul Subduing Region!"
Like an evil demon living in the depths of the abyss, Eddie's originally gentle and soothing voice had abruptly turned sharp, incisive and ear-piercing!
Countless people watching via the Skylink were caught unprepared, as their faces contorted from the sharp sounds that pierced their ears!
Regardless of them being considerably far away from the stage, the surrounding audience watching from the competition grounds were extremely ill-prepared to deal with Eddie's voices . Quite a few of those seated closer to the stage were stunned by the abrupt change in the fluctuations caused by his voice, while their ears were pierced so hard that they temporarily turned deaf . All of them clutched their heads in agony, and all of these reactions were due to the remnants of sound waves coming from the stage .
At the same time, the sound wave visible to the naked wave shot out like a supersonic large calibre bullet, sending sonic booms out as it broke the sound barrier on its way to Wang Zhong!
Such an attack was absolutely unable to be predicted! Although it was visible, it's already too late by the time you've noticed it! Although you'll be able to hear the ear-piercing sonic booms, the attack would have long piercing through your body by the time you've caught wind of it! This was an attack that travelled faster than the speed of sound! With the reaction speeds of Casted Soul Stage experts, that were speeds that they would be utterly unable to react to!
