From the shattered deck rose a figure. It was a young man in his thirties with white hair and crimson eyes. There was silver aura radiating from his body.0

Leven recoiled in shock and muttered, "A… silver knight?"0

There was no doubt. The sheer pressure radiating from him was enough to rival Varos at full strength. The silver-haired man landed firmly on deck and gave a short shout as he slashed his arm again.0

"Hah!"0

The chain blades that had swept across the pirate ship now flew toward the Osprey's Roar.
If they hit, the ship would suffer massive damage.0

"No!" Leven flung himself forward, drawing his fighting blade in one swift motion. purple aura flared along the blade as he struck the incoming chain, deflecting it. An explosion rocked the entire pirate ship.0

The silver-haired man turned to Leven with a startled expression. "You're a purple-tier? At that age? Impressive."0

He’d already realized the boy was an aura user, but he hadn’t expected him to be at such a level so young.0

"But it won’t matter."0

The man kicked off the deck with explosive force. In an instant, he closed the distance, reeling back the long sword linked to his aura chains and gripping it in one hand. Then he brought it down with a seemingly effortless strike.0

Leven...0
