Diablo imdiately snatched control of the battle right after he activated the real abilities of his 'Demon Eyes' to be able to read each of Shin's moves and enhanced his overall stats with the help of 'Devil Incarnation'.
He had been styling on Shin since that movent. He outclassed his opponent in every area, whether it was in terms of speed, battle style, and control, he got it better.
His insane chanics were very amazing. He repeatedly pushed Shin to the verge of defeat, forcing the latter to show more of his cards.
"Light and Dark Reapers!" shouted Shin as he summoned Whitie and Blackie, activating his Elental Possession.
'Elental Spirit Possession (Light): Sacred Vanquisher'
'Elental Spirit Possession (Darkness): Abyssal Conqueror'
After the two Elental Spirits fused with the [Dawn Blade] and [Dusk Blade] respectively, Shin instantly gained a huge boost in his movent and attack speed. His magic affinity also reached another level.
With these enhancents, Shin was able to regain his footing a little. But despite that being the chase, he was still having a hard ti matching Diablo's proactivity.
Diablo was still suppressing him despite his sudden enhancents. What baffled Shin, even more, was the fact that his 'Ultra Instincts' seed to be not working how it was supposed to be.
Shin didn't know the reason why, but this gave him a wake-up call that he was still not utilizing his innate talent to its peak potential when he was not in Reality Manifestation State.
But this didn't an that Shin lost this battle. He was a Battle Genius for a reason, he could grow stronger as long as he continued to persevere until the end.
Diablo imdiately noticed the small improvents that Shin had as the battle progressed, which also surprised him more and more as ti went by.
'This guy is the real deal!' thought Diablo excitedly as dodged a horizontal slash from Shin with yet another narrow margin.
Swoosh!
He had no ti to think about anything else as Shin was now throwing yet another strike. Diablo quickly adjusted his center of gravity and swiftly circled around his opponent, dodging that attack once again.
Shin couldn't afford to retaliate earlier because he was busy defending himself. But this ti was completely different as he was now getting used to the unpredictable rhythm of his opponent.
If it was just about unpredictability, Shin also had a number of cards under his sleeves to match his opponent. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was very familiar with such an ever-changing tempo.
After engaging in an intense battle with Diablo for such an extended period, Shin already realized that he would be at a complete disadvantage if he insisted on using his skills against his opponent.
He knew that Diablo's Class was a Shadow Dancer since he used his True Sight Skill to inspect earlier. Even if it was on the sa rank as his Grim Reaper Profession, his skills couldn't be compared to his opponent when it ca to execution ti.
No matter how fast he used his magic-related skills, there was still a slight delay whenever he needed to activate them. It was because he needed to accumulate enough energy in order for him to release the sword waves.
There was no need to talk about the Tier 2 Skills under the Grim Reaper Class. They might be powerful but most of them needed so ti to set up before they could be used. Even the Domain Skills needed at least a single second before being released.
With Diablo's current state and insane speed, that small window was more than enough for him to interrupt Shin.
Aside from the passive skills and the 'Purgatory Penta-Slash', none of his Tier 2 Skills could be used.
On the other hand, Diablo's Tier 2 Skills could be used within an instant. This was also the main reason why Shin was always being suppressed by him.
Due to this, Shin had no choice but to rely on his lee skills that could also be executed within an instant such as 'Destructive Slash', 'Solar Cut, 'Heart Seeker', 'Multiple Stabs', and others.
And to use them to their full potential, Shin was mixing these skills when he was executing the 'Infinity Edge' Combat Technique.
Since Diablo was now engaging in a lee battle once again, Shin thought it would be a choice to use this signature technique once again. Though, he couldn't utilize its real purpose since Diablo was also breaking the rhythm from ti to ti.
Diablo was aware of that technique, so there was no reason for him to continuously clash his weapons with Shin, where the force behind his attacks would be absorbed and return to him.
At the sa ti, he was also using his signature combat technique too, the 'Darkness Excursion'. It was a combination of irregular body movents, attack patterns, and strange foot techniques.
It was a combat technique that was even higher than the 'Infinity Edge' Combat Technique since it was a combination of multiple thods.
With the help of this technique, Diablo was still able to gain an advantage in this battle.
Shin was using his 'Eclipse Wielding' and 'Infinity Edge', a Pseudo-Legednady Energy Technique and an Epic Combat Technique, which made him extrely powerful.
But he was still a little inferior to Diablo who was wielding the 'Pure Demonic Energy' and 'Darkness Excursion' which were a Psuedo-Legendary Energy Source and a Legendary Combat Technique respectively.
Even Shin Dual Elental Spirit Possession was only good enough to match the 'Devil's Incarnation' of his opponent.
Moreover, his 'Ultra Instincts' were being suppressed by the 'Demonic Eyes' for so unknown reason.
But this was still not the end of the road for Shin. For every setback that a person could experience, there would always be a lesson to be learned.
After witnessing the power of the 'Darkness Excursion' Legendary Combat Technique of his opponent, Shin suddenly got inspiration.
'If he can combine a powerful combat and complicated movent technique, then why can't I?' thought Shin as he quickly chose one of the foot techniques from his arsenal.
After thinking for a brief mont, he quickly chose the 'Mystic Movents' since it had a lot of similarities to his 'Infinity Edge'.
If the 'Infinity Edge' was absorbing the force behind his opponent's attacks and returning them twofold, then the 'Mystic Movents' was a footwork skill that accumulated more speed the more he moved.
'This foot technique may complent the areas that the Infinity Edge lacks,' thought Shin as he added the 'Mystic Movents' to the combat techniques that Shin was already executing.
Such a bold move could spell the demise of ordinary players. Using two combat techniques was already the limit for most talented individuals since it put a lot of burden on their minds.
But Shin was different, with his monstrous willpower alongside his experience of using the Reality Manifestation, such concern was the least he could think of.
Diablo imdiately noticed the strange movents of his opponent the mont Shin executed the three techniques all at the sa ti.
At first, it was a little clumsy, costing Shin to continuously lose his Health Bar. But he only used his HP Bar as leverage to familiarize himself with his new technique. He still used the Holy Light, and Scared Blessing Elental Skills to heal himself to further lengthen his life.
This ti, Diablo experienced what a natural talent was.
Moreover, it was a talent that was fueled by a lot of hard work, making it even more terrifying.
He could only smile bitterly in front of it as he could do nothing to stop Shin from completing the technique.
He tried his best to overwhelm Shin with his rapid attacks and powerful combinations of skills, Shin was able to withstand all of it in a calm manner.
Monts later, a bona fide Legendary Combat Technique was ford right in front of Diablo's eyes.
As soone who spend countless failures in his research just to create his unique style, Diablo could only feel the bitterness of the sight in front of him.
Shin successfully created the Legendary Combat Technique he was too imrsed in his trance to pay attention to the alerts that the system was showing him.
He rode this tide to continue his assault, planning to flip the state of the battle to his advantage. But how could Diablo, the forr second-in-command of the Pandemonium Troupe, be defeated that easily?
He activated another phase of his special skill without any hesitation.
'Special Ocular Skill: Demonic Eyes (Phase III)'
Another set of images and information flashed through his mind. But unlike earlier, he didn't experience another headache.
Earlier, he only suffered that intense headache since the one added to his mind was a new set of information. But this ti, it was refreshing all of the information that he accumulated since he started playing the ga.
This set of information contained not only all of his experiences when facing the other experts of the ga, but also all of the battle styles of the top godlike players he studied.
This new set of information was giving Diablo the ability to respond to all kinds of situations. He would be considered unparallel when he activated this Phase of his Demon Eyes, which was also the reason why most of the Pandemonium Troupe mbers were too scared to face him.
Cling! Cling!
The two showed an insane series of exchanges that could make anyone dumbfounded.
Their movent and attack speed were one thing, but their insane chanics and godly control were on a whole other level.
There were also insane and complex maneuvers that they were executing from ti to ti.
Whenever Shin was almost hitting Diablo with either of his sabers, the latter would always dodge with a very small margin before counterattacking almost at the sa ti.
This was a showdown between a pair of peak-class players wielding a Legendary Combat Technique.
And as the battle progressed, Diablo started to show so flaws because of his inferiority when it ca to talent and felt helpless in front of Shin's monstrous willpower.
'Is this the limit of my average talent?' thought Diablo to himself as he started to doubt his hard work.
'No matter how much effort you put in it, an average person will still remain average in front of a real genius,' he rembered this phrase that soone had told him before.
But at the sa ti, he also recalled his own reply to that person. "It is unless that person wields absolute strength!"
He knew that his talent was average, but it didn't an that it could stop him from achieving the so-called impossible.
He would still reach the summit that he was chasing after all this ti.
"Bring back the glory of the Irregulars!"
Rembering his purpose, Diablo's mind suddenly started working at a much insane rate, costing him a warning from the system.
*Ding!*
System Warning: Your Synchronization Rate was increasing rapidly!
System Warning: Current Synchronization Rate 200%!
System: You set foot on the peak of Virtual Realization!
System: Entering the Hyper Active Imrsion!
