The body that had been trained unremittingly for more than ten years showed a rare fatigue in the confrontation with Baron, which surprised Artolis slightly. It should be said that the fact that her swordsmanship, which she was so proud of, was so lacking, brought her mixed emotions of disappointment and joy at the same time.
Where did the other party's skills come from? Perhaps this is the biggest problem.
Artoris did not remember that Baron had ever shown such impressive sword skills. She only knew that he had great spear skills. Apart from that, she had never heard that he had any research on other weapons.
But now is obviously not the time to dwell on this. Her calm mind is running rapidly at this moment, relying on the reflex nerves activated by neural integration to evade. The intuition from the swordsman allows Artolis to infer from the opponent's starting behavior. Where will the next attack come from?
Only a moment of judgment, detailed observation and thinking, and then swinging the sword to attack!
For Artoris, as a blade dancer, although she has mostly used blade bows and physical combat for several years, the main theme of combat that can really make her devote herself wholeheartedly is swordsmanship.
However, the moment the sword blade greeted her, Artolis's pupils suddenly shrank!
I felt a chill down my spine, and my muscles and mind went all out to sound the alarm.
At this moment, his intuition was distorted, and all previous judgments were completely shattered at this moment.
The gorgeous and mesmerizing movements are actually consistent with the Death Scythe. Baron's approaching figure shows six completely different branches in Artolis's eyes.
It seemed like a brilliant insight from ancient times. Baron, who knew Artoris' purpose from the source, showed a clever trick to block the weapons that was very similar to the combined tactics. And if you can't avoid it, this powerful killing move can kill people with just one blow!
This was an intuitive feedback that Artoris had never experienced personally. Even the most pure sword master would not be able to produce so many changes in her eyes in an instant. Just like a river, it divides into several trickles, but in any case, it will eventually merge into the vast ocean.
If Artolis had to ask herself, this would be her most intuitive feeling.
"it's here!"
Absolute judgment, only the hesitation that is considered a mistake at this moment is correct.
What destroyed the branches of the six paths was a sword that carried the power of thunder.
The boy switched his attacks in an understated manner, as if his previous solutions were nothing but feints. The intention to defeat the vision is itself a feint——!
That keen reaction is not inferior in any way even compared to his sharp kicking skills.
"Qiang——"
He managed to parry the opponent's sword with great difficulty, but the lightning that was moving around the sword could not be easily resisted. A moment after the crackling sound of lightning struck the sky, thunderous light burst out with a bang. After passing through Artolis's hair, it poured onto the land in all directions, tearing the ground apart one after another with ferocious marks. gully.
"Final form: Naotsuki White Wolf!"
The intertwined sword blades showed their sharp edges, and the sparks caused by the collision scattered in the air as Artoris rose up and exerted her strength.
This is a gap that cannot be bridged by technology alone. Artolis knows this very well and uses this advantage to defeat all Baron's plans and repel him from her side.
"Is this the Thunder Sword Cavalry...?"
Her heart beat faster due to surprise, and she noticed the thunder radiating in the air. In order not to let her state of mind be seen through, Artolis deliberately expressed her surprise in a relaxed tone.
"It can be considered, but it is not complete." After backing up and stabilizing his figure, Baron could not see any expression on his face. He did not choose to continue chasing, but quietly observed Atoris and spoke. replied.
Although it has been proven by reality, Baron's answer still surprised Artolis. She did not expect that this guy had also learned other professional abilities besides his own profession like Kaguya. If he really learned the thunder on his own If you are a sword rider, it is understandable that you have mastered such powerful sword skills.
But it seems to be much more than that. Furthermore, the horror of Barong's skills comes from its versatility and its singularity that far exceeds one's expectations.
After all, I have been practicing swordsmanship for ten years. As long as it is related to swordsmanship, I can predict the opponent's intentions to a certain extent with intuition.
However, if unpredictable elements such as multiple "professional element systems" are involved, it will instantly be fundamentally different from the "swordsmanship" that Artoris is familiar with.
That kind of wonder is just like what he said. He has continuously improved in nearly two hundred years of experience, and finally achieved absolute martial arts accomplishments that spanned the long river of time.
If you want to deceive the unknown illusion - then you can no longer try to be clever. "Blade Return" will no longer be able to work on Barong, and you can only rely on reflexes to deal with all incoming threats.
Taking the opportunity to adjust her condition, Artolis took a deep breath. The purpose of sparring is not to win, she knows this very well.
But how easy is it to find flaws in Barong's moves?
The young man in front of him was called the genius of the Eternal City, and it was not without reason that he was so highly regarded. It’s not self-promotion nor promotion, because they know that perfection does not exist in the world, but only Barong is the closest to flawlessness!
"Let's end the competition here. I have to admit that I lost this time."
"Huh?" Just when Artolis was devoting herself to the battle that was about to determine the outcome, Baron suddenly put down the sword in his hand, leaving her stunned.
"There is no need to be surprised. This body's capabilities are limited, but that blow just now used up all my strength. I am surprised that you can resist it."
As Barongcai said, his body lost all strength and could no longer support him and almost fell down. Fortunately, Artolis reacted quickly enough and rushed forward to support him.
"I should be the one who was surprised." When she came into contact with the other party's trembling body, Artolis realized that Baron was not lying.
Sure enough, no matter how hard Barong struggled, it could not change the fact that he was still an ordinary person. It seems that just facing his own counterattack has already made him feel difficult. After all, there is a gap in hard power. Logically speaking, Artoris is several times higher than him in terms of strength alone. In this extremely disadvantageous situation, Under such circumstances, he could still suppress himself for twenty minutes with his skills. This situation can no longer be described as an exaggeration.
"I did underestimate the enemy this time, but to be honest, if you and I were of the same level, I would never be your opponent."
An advantage that cannot be called an advantage. Artoris would not fail to understand this. If she failed to gain an advantage in a hand-to-hand battle with her opponent, fundamentally speaking, she had already lost completely.
"With my sword power of more than a hundred years, I can only surpass you. But from this point of view, your talent in swordsmanship is unique."
"You are..."
Realizing that there was something wrong in Barong's words, Artoris was startled, but before she could finish speaking, Barong snatched her words away.
"——Tianyu Xialang, let's set off there. Let's prepare well before that."
"Tianyu...Xialang...?"
