Chapter 461: Don’t Leave After School!

“No… It’s impossible!”

The injured Enel, after recovering his senses, gritted his teeth and yelled loudly, enduring the pain and sweating profusely.

Ian couldn’t fathom why so many people would utter those words, but one thing was clear—the devastating slash he had just dealt to Enel had left a profound impact.

This impact wasn’t just physical; it also affected Enel’s spirit. When Ian’s fist first made Enel bleed from his nose, Enel was left bewildered. However, this second strike, cutting Enel, made him fully realize that his elemental abilities were utterly useless against Ian.

For Enel, who didn’t understand the power of Haki in this world, this was truly a devastating blow.

Enel’s self-proclaimed invincibility stemmed from his confidence in his elemental abilities. But now, facing Ian, that confidence had been completely shattered.

Lightning couldn’t harm Ian, and Enel’s elemental powers couldn’t make him immune to being beaten. He was completely suppressed by Ian. At this moment, Enel was nothing more than an ordinary person who could run a bit faster in Ian’s eyes.

Moreover, even his teleportation ability could be limited if Ian created an opportunity.

After slashing Enel, Ian looked at the black dragon wave getting farther away that had been launched to attack Enel. Following the principle of not wasting anything, Ian manipulated the black dragon wave to fly back and consumed it, turning the black flames into a pair of huge wings behind him. Ian slowly levitated in the air, looking down on Enel from above.

“You… You can soar through the heavens!?” Seeing Ian’s appearance, Enel couldn’t help but be stunned. Although he had the power of lightning, he honestly couldn’t fly like Ian. This was the first time he had seen someone who could use such abilities to fly, making him genuinely amazed.

After hearing this, Ian was also momentarily surprised but quickly understood.

According to the murals Ian found in the ruins of Ballon Terminal, the Skypieans were actually descendants of the moon people. There should be three ethnic groups among them, and the Skypieans on this Angel Island were one of them. They had an antenna-like structure on their heads and a pair of wings on their backs, but these wings appeared small, only about the width of their shoulders, as if they had degenerated. Therefore, the Skypieans here couldn’t fly either.

Among the descendants of the moon people, there was another tribe whose wings appeared even larger, perhaps due to regular training. It was possible that this particular tribe possessed the ability to fly.

Hmm? Wait a minute! Realizing this, Ian suddenly came to a revelation. Those three priests he had defeated earlier, their wings seemed noticeably larger!

Recalling the encounter, he confirmed that it was indeed the case. Although their brief confrontation at Angel Beach didn’t allow for a detailed examination, the wings of those priests were indeed bigger than the ones he had seen on Conis and her father.

However, those three priests seemed incapable of flight as well… Could it be that Ian had made a wrong assumption? Were the wings and other features of these moon people merely decorative symbols of their heritage?

Nevertheless, these were minor questions. What intrigued Ian now was the fact that Enel, despite being a Skypiean, lacked wings on his back.

Ian wasn’t the only one pondering this question; Enel was also contemplating the same issue.

Initially, Enel had been astonished by Ian’s ability to soar through the air. However, as he witnessed the immense black flame wings sprouting from Ian’s back, a hazy memory resurfaced in Enel’s mind.

It was an event that occurred approximately two years ago. At that time, Enel had defeated Gan Fall, the former ruler of Skypiea, and ascended to the position of a god. For four years, he had ruled over Skypiea. During that period, a blue-sea dweller accidentally stumbled upon Skypiea. According to Enel’s laws, this individual was an unauthorized intruder who hadn’t paid the required fee and was subsequently captured.

The blue-sea dweller chose to resist, resulting in his confinement to the Forbidden Zone, where he was subjected to trials that were nothing more than games for the priests.

However, this blue-sea dweller possessed a peculiar ability. He seemed capable of foreseeing the future. When he was captured and sent for trial, he uttered a cryptic statement to the residents of Angel Island: “One day in the future, your god will be struck down by the nemesis with black wings…”

Enel, who possessed Mantra, heard those words through his Mind Network. Such blasphemous words deserved punishment, of course!

Consequently, Enel unleashed a divine judgment that pierced through the clouds, striking down the blue-sea dweller and reducing him to charred remains. There was no need for a trial anymore…

For Enel, it was akin to exterminating a mere ant, so he quickly forgot about it afterwards.

However, for the residents of Angel Island, the words left by this Blue Sea person were remembered by many. Although they didn’t dare to propagate these words under Enel’s oppressive policies, as their fear and dread of Enel grew, these words naturally spread quietly throughout the Sky Island…

It is unclear whether the Blue Sea person could really predict the future, but the circulation of these words does have its roots. It can be said that not every Sky Islander truly agrees with Enel’s rule deep down. They are simply unable to resist his power and can only endure it.

Anything needs demand to have a market. If Enel had never appeared, perhaps these words could only be seen as solace for the spirits of the Sky Island residents, a legendary spiritual victory to express their hope for someone to help them end this fearful rule.

Unfortunately, Ian appeared just at the wrong time. His Flame Wings were not only seen by Gan Fall, but now they were also seen by Enel himself.

In the past two years, he had completely forgotten the words spoken by that Blue Sea person. However, when Ian appeared before him in such a manner and dealt consecutive heavy blows to Enel’s spirit, he dug up that memory from the depths of his mind.

“The adversary of Gods?” These words echoed incessantly in Enel’s mind. Unable to restrain himself any longer, he suddenly pointed his finger at Ian in the sky and shouted, “Ridiculous! Utterly preposterous!”

Ian had no idea what Enel had been thinking just now, so he found it somewhat inexplicable. He wondered if this guy was having another bout of chuunibyou.

Unable to comprehend, Ian decided to ignore it. Gripping the Senbonzakura, he descended from the sky and quickly charged towards Enel’s location.

Although he had just slashed him once, it seemed that the injury was not too severe for him. Therefore, Ian planned to press his advantage, aiming to bring him down completely.

However, to Ian’s astonishment, as he descended, Enel’s figure suddenly flickered, vanishing from his original position and reappearing hundreds of meters away from Ian.

That distance meant they were completely out of the battlefield.

Ian couldn’t comprehend his intentions and thought he was planning to engage in guerrilla warfare. In response, Ian swiftly swung his blade, unleashing a colossal Flaying Slash that surged toward Enel’s location.

Yet, when Enel saw Ian’s sword aura approaching, he pointed at Ian and bellowed, “No one can defeat me! No one!”

After uttering those words, Enel abruptly turned around, took a few steps forward, and vanished completely…

The Flying Slash unleashed by Ian pursued him for a short distance but failed to hit its mark.

Witnessing this scene, Ian nearly spat out in shock. This guy actually escaped!?

Damn it, if you’re going to run away, just run away! Why did you have to say something misleading? I thought you were about to unleash a devastating attack!

For some inexplicable reason, the departing Enel left Ian with a sense of déjà vu, as if saying, “Don’t leave after school! Wait for me in the restroom!”…
