Julian was turned into light particles, sending him out of the ga. Ery and the others thought it ant Julian wouldn't make it into the elite class. After all, he had the lowest point to start with, without the extra 10.000 points he would not make it. Their dream of entering the elite class together had been ruined.
Ery was frustrated with the situation, as his grip on the sword hilt was tightened even more. Turning his head towards the smirking sword-wielding acolyte, sothing inside Ery seed to break as he began to ferociously attack the acolyte.
Swing after swing, Ery continuously swung his weapons, as he poured all his feelings into the slashes. In response, the acolyte deflected, parried and blocked the slashes again and again. He even managed to injure Ery.
Ery caught a glimpse of Thrax, who was violently fighting against the other acolytes like a wild animal. Fortunately Klea ca to the rescue. As much as Ery really wanted to help them, he knew he couldn't do so, if he couldn't kill this acolyte in front of him.
The acolyte sent a heavy swing towards him, Ery barely able to parry with both his sword and dagger, even so, he still got pushed. The opponent's strength and speed were superior to his, this was probably an elite acolyte chosen mainly for his combat skills and battle powers. He wouldn't be able to overpower the acolyte before him without any strategy.
Taking a deep breath and calming his raging heart, Ery casted the [Infusion] spell on his two weapons. The battle then continued, as Ery began concentrating on the technique he had learnt from the combat puppets.
Clank! Clank!
The long reach and terrific power of the broadsword against the versatility and flexibility of sword and dagger. If he decided to fight against heavy broadsword directly with his current weapons, Ery would definitely fall into a disadvantageous situation sooner or later. Therefore, he decisively changed his approach.
He casted [Shadow Mist] and focused on his mobility as his ans of attacks. By doing so. Ery wouldn't face the broadsword's advantage of strength. Instead, he would exhibit the advantages his weapons had. Within seconds, multiple mirror images of Ery quickly appeared around the sword-wielding acolyte, making him confused and distracted.
Clank! Clank!
"This is it! This is more like it! An acolyte who possesses several elent spells and a decent swordsman! You deserve to fight , Orycon!"
Ery ignored the blabbering and concentrated fully, as he couldn't be distracted now. His mind didn't even think about his friends' current situation. After all, the fastest way to help them was to defeat this acolyte nad Orycon.
'How to defeat him the fastest?'
Ery fought against Orycon, trading clash after clash, it looked like his decision to take advantage of his mobility was working. However, it wasn't fast and decisive enough. Seeing the sword and dagger couldn't do the work that well, Ery tried to change his tactic again.
He quickly casted [Blink] and reappeared behind Orycon. This ti, Ery substituted the dagger in his hand to another sword. Currently, he was holding a longsword in both hands. Imdiately after, Ery swung his swords toward Orycon with a solemn look on his face.
While the swords descended on Orycon, sparkling luster appeared on the swords' surface as Ery used the [Heroic Slash] skill technique.
Alas, despite the diversion of mirror images, the battle-hardened Orycon could easily guess Ery's aim when he saw Ery casted his [Blink] spell. Turning his head around and seeing the two incoming swords, Orycon let out a sneer as he swung his broadsword.
"Fool! How dare you use strength against !"
CLANK!!!
Loud piercing sound resounded as the two swords hit the broadsword. Seeing that his attempt failed, Ery didn't beco discouraged, as he hurriedly jumped back to evade Orycon's counterattack.
While still making use of [Shadow Mist]'s mirror images, Ery flickered around Orycon and launched the heavy [Heroic Slash] technique on his opponent. However, this ti he no longer tried to find an opening in Orycon's defense. Instead, he swung his swords as hard as he could and struck as much as possible.
CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!
Ery pushed himself beyond his limit, as he used the [Immortal Gate] technique to its maximum. He utilized multiple battle art techniques and the [Blink] spell without restraint. As a result, pain began to wreck over his body and Ery felt his entire body slowly burning. Even so, Ery still delivered his slashes with even more fierceness.
CLANK! CLANK!
Orycon was puzzled when he realized the slashes beca heavier each ti they hit his broadsword. The clash between the three weapons continued until finally, Ey jumped high and swung both of the swords downward with all the power he could muster.
CRAACKKK!!!
Both weapons in their hands couldn't handle the stress due to continuous contact anymore. Hence, the three weapons all broke apart at the sa ti. This was exactly the plan Ery had been trying to achieve.
Because all the weapons obtained during the ga were practically identical, he was betting that clashing the broadsword with his two swords ceaselessly would definitely break both weapons. Finally, his efforts bore fruit.
As the plan paid off and the two of them lost their weapons, the mont Ery had been waiting for had co.
Orycon was still stunned by the sudden loss of his weapon, when Ery casted [Blink] one last ti and used the [Hidden Blade] skill. As if a streak of shadow passed by, Ery appeared behind Orycon and thrusted the dagger he had previously taken out.
SPLATT!
The blade successfully pierced through the acolyte's back. Orycon woke up from his stunned state due to the pain. Realizing his current situation, he growled and struggled to get away. But there was no way Ery would let this opportunity go.
When Orycon tried to attack Ery with his fist, hoping the punch would make Ery retreat. Alas, Ery swiftly shifted his head, successfully evading the fist. While doing so, Ery pulled back his dagger and sent it towards Orycon again, this ti aiming at the acolyte's neck.
Blood splattered, the dagger cut Orycon's neck, but he was still alive. It looked like Orycon managed to move his body at the last second, causing the resulting wound to be less deep.
Orycon grimaced in pain while gritting his teeth when the dagger cut through his flesh. When Ery swung his dagger one last ti, trying to end his life, the travelling dagger stopped in the air as Ery's arm was grabbed by Orycon.
"Urgh... good move! I... admit defeat! But... you.. are going… down with… ."
Ery could tell Orycon still had one last move up his sleeve, so he imdiately tried to get away. However, Orycon unexpectedly used all his remaining strength to hold on to Ery's arm.
Orycon's eyes turned shining bright as he raised his other arm to the air and casted [Call of Thunder]. Imdiately, streaks of lightning appeared in the sky. And then, a lighting strike descended and struck Orycon's raised arm.
BOOOM!!!
The lightning currents quickly rushed to Ery's arm, he felt a powerful jolt coursing through all his veins. The two figures imdiately flung back as the lightning struck them. Ery's body was swiftly thrown 10 ters away and fell to the ground. He lay motionless, as half of his body was charred. If it wasn't for [Granite Skin], Ery would've certainly died.
[Congratulation you have defeated an elite acolyte]
[You receive 5000 points]
[Your total points 20000 points]
[You are now rank 15]
[60 participants left in the ga]
A notification informing him he had killed an elite appeared on the symbol, but at this mont Ery was on the brink of death. A figure of the girl quickly approached Ery. One could clearly see the shocked expression on her face as the girl put Ery on her lap and called him, "Ery!"
