Section 23 Peak Showdown
"It's going to be a good show again!" Nilander sat back in his seat and asked with a hint of curiosity, "I haven't seen that kid make a move in more than two years, and I don't know how many tricks he can take from Grom." ”
"It's the first time I've seen Lord Grom fight a magician!" said Caesar with a hint of excitement.
"The strongest mage on the battle list, against the strongest warrior...... This battle can be said to be the pinnacle of the showdown!" En' Boli said calmly: "With Harry's strength two years ago, it shouldn't be enough to compete with Lord Grom. I'd love to know why Master Grom would pick him as an opponent?"
"It's strange to me that I haven't heard of Harry's breakthrough in the past two years!"
"Let's wait and see...... I didn't trust Harry too much, but I could trust Master Grom's eyes. Enboli said with a hint of a smile.
In mid-air, Harry and Grom were far away.
"I can take advantage of the air, I guess Master Grom won't mind, right?" Harry winked and smiled. With the ground under his feet, the warrior can exert 100% strength and speed, but Harry will have more ground resistance than the sky, which will affect the speed of Ling 'Bo' microstep. So in the air, it was indeed Harry who took advantage.
"This battle isn't about ranking in the battle rankings, it's just about learning your sword skills before you advance. Who are you today...... I don't think I'm an opponent yet!" said Grom, with a hint of pride.
"Although I am not sure that I can win a move and a half against Master Grom, boy, if I want to be undefeated, I should still be reluctant. Harry said seemingly modestly, but in fact, to outsiders, this was already extremely arrogant. Can he remain undefeated against Grom? Doesn't that mean that Harry is only stronger than Grom?
"Let's go! Show your dragon sword!" Grom stood with his hands in his hands, his weapon already 'handed' over to Kerr. He wasn't prepared to fight Harry with weapons.
Harry is not welcome, facing Grom, only strength can speak for itself.
As soon as the Dragon Sword appeared, a flying dragon rushed towards Grom in the sky, and the high-level compressed fireball power was even more sufficient, reaching the extreme in an instant!
Grom's palm was clawed, and a golden fighting spirit condensed into a ball, and with a strong push, he blocked Harry's dragon sword. Turning his claws into palms, the golden air mass suddenly exploded, and the dragon sword flicked back.
"No! it's too weak......" Grom shook his head, the Dragon Sword was more than that's when he fought Tuclave that day.
"It's Mistress Grom!" Harry smiled unmoved, and in an instant, he had blessed the Dragon Sword with the fire elemental. Swift dragon meteor, as fast as lightning!
The fiery red sword body made a crisp sound that broke the air, like a small explosion of thunder. Kill Grom again twice as fast as before!
A hint of disappointment flashed in Grom's eyes, and it seemed that he still didn't pay attention to this move. Still clawed out a condensed dough qi mass and headed towards the Dragon Sword......
Before it could make contact with Grom's outstretched arm, the Dragon Sword suddenly swerved and slashed at Grom's side with a swift spin. The air through which the flying sword trail slashed felt as if it had been torn apart, and looking at Grom through this layer of air, the image was distorted slightly.
The moment the Dragon Sword changed moves, Grom reacted very quickly, and a layer of shrouded golden energy gushed out from his right 'leg', and with a heavy sound of breaking the sky, he kicked high to his side, and collided with the Dragon Sword fiercely.
With a dull loud bang, the Dragon Sword flew upside down for more than two hundred meters before Harry regained his grip, which showed how terrifying this rebound was. And Grom only flew back more than ten meters, and the strong explosion did not even damage his clothes to the slightest.
"It's kind of interesting...... But that's not enough!" Grom shook his head and said with a half-furrowed brow, "If your swordsmanship is limited to this, then this battle is over!"
Harry was secretly frightened, under his own sneak attack, he only 'forced' Grom back a little, his true strength may not be too terrifying! You know, the move just now is no less than the Rulai Excalibur that defeated Tuclave in the first place.
"And what about this move?" Harry 'swooped' to a thousand meters in the air, and the dragon sword was thrown straight high, 'thrusting' towards the sky.
"Is this the trick that beat Tuclair in the first place? Grom's face was so calm that he didn't seem to take this trick seriously.
A red light streaked across the sky, and only then did everyone hear a sharp groan, and Grom, who was at the target of the Dragon Sword, clenched his fists without hesitation and struck out into the sky. Crash Punch!
A cone-shaped golden qi burst out of the fist and met the falling dragon sword head-on. The Dragon Sword, which was originally extremely fast, seemed to be forcibly intercepted by some kind of resistance, and in a short distance of less than five meters, the speed dropped to zero.
The strength of the Furious Collapse Fist also changed from an upward-facing cone to a downward conical shape due to the piercing of the Dragon Sword, and then exploded......
Glancing disappointedly at the Dragon Sword floating in mid-air, Grom looked a little uneasy and slowly descended to the ground.
"I guess this is your best trick! Looks like I'm overestimating you...... Maybe we can only wait until after the fourth order before we can really fight. ”
Grom was about to leave the field, but he heard Harry laugh proudly in the air, "It was just a warm-up, is Lord Grom leaving?"
"Oh, do you have any more tricks?" Grom turned his head and stared at Harry tightly, as if to confirm that he was bluffing.
"Lord Grom doesn't want to fight me with a sword, so of course I'll have to weigh if Master Grom can really take my sword skills empty......-handed! There is a strong confidence in his eyes.
Just take this opportunity to test how much strength you have increased in the past two years! It's time for your new move to 'show' and 'show your face'...... Although Kiru's strength has grown rapidly, he is afraid that he will not be able to resist his new skills. This is also the reason why Harry has hardly fought with Kiru in the past two years, it is too powerful, and it is easy to seriously injure Kiru.
"Hahaha! Whether you are bluffing or not, you are the first person to speak like this in front of my Grom! With this arrogance, I will learn and understand again!" Grom 'soared' back to the sky, standing proudly.
"Is Lord Grom still just taking the call and not making the move?" asked Harry faintly.
"If you can force me to make a move...... Come on!" A truly strong man will never be unnecessarily modest. Harry's arrogance 'provoked' Grom's fighting spirit.
"Lord Grom, I'm looking at it! This is the first time I've used this trick against the enemy, and I would like to ask you for advice......" Harry's face turned solemn, and his expression became serious. The Dragon Sword floated in front of his 'chest', clasped his hands, and shouted, "Phantom Sword Technique!"
The Dragon Sword responded and rushed straight at Grom again.
What is the difference between this and the first move? Grom secretly doubted in his heart, whether it was a direct attack on himself or a switch to slashing, it had already proved impossible to threaten himself. Harry...... What the hell is he messing with?
His arm was covered with a layer of fighting energy, and this time, Grom was going to grab the Dragon Sword directly!
Whew! Seeing that Grom's big hand was about to touch the sword, the Dragon Sword suddenly disappeared......
What?, Grom was startled, and the dragon sword in front of him struck again. Slightly stunned, it was too late for him to grab it again, so he had to condense the fighting qi in his hand into a fighting qi ball, and slapped it towards the Dragon Sword with his backhand.
Grom blocked a gap again, and the Dragon Sword vanished out of thin air again. The body of the Dragon Sword appeared in front of him again, roaring towards Grom. And Grom was also surprised to find that the speed of the Dragon Sword was even faster than the previous two times!
Grom's right hand was grabbed and blocked twice, and it was too late to get back. He swung his left arm, and a surging aura came out of his hand, rushing towards the incoming Dragon Sword. The sword body is fiery red and translucent, obviously blessed by the fire element.
The surprising thing happened again, the Crazy Collapse had clearly devoured the Dragon Sword, but it couldn't stop the Dragon Sword from a single point, but it was as if the Dragon Sword had passed through this fierce fighting spirit and killed in front of Grom without being affected.
The attack was in sight, and there was no room for Grom to hesitate. The waist twisted back, and the entire upper body fell straight down, avoiding the impact of the Dragon Sword. With just a layer of Dou Qi Shield on his body, he may not be able to resist the Blessed Dragon Sword at such a speed.
Grom's face finally 'revealed' a dignified 'color', and after dodging the Dragon Sword, he immediately adjusted his body, and a layer of gold swelled up in his hands.
Sure enough, the dragon sword missed, flew behind Grom and disappeared again, as if teleporting in front of Harry again. And the speed ...... It's already close to the previous move that fell from the sky.
Grom didn't dare to despise this move any longer, and when the Dragon Sword stabbed at him, he suddenly turned sideways to avoid it, and then raised his hand to strike towards the sword body of the Dragon Sword. Knock out your flying sword and see how you still '' it!
As soon as Grom's fist touched the sword, he noticed that the target had disappeared again, and the dragon sword had slightly deviated to the right.
However, after the dragon sword reappeared, it came to the left of Grom, and it deviated from the direction to the right, and still killed it straight away. Velocity...... Increasing all the time!
No way...... It's not over like this...... If you let this flying sword continue to speed up like this, you won't be able to dodge it sooner or later! Good boy...... There aren't many people who can force me to make a move!
Grom fired a 'shot' in the air, dodging the Dragon Sword and heading straight for Harry. He's finally going to take the initiative......
Grom and Harry were only 100 meters apart, and in just one breath, Grom came to Harry's side, punched out, and with surging energy, he slammed into Harry's 'door'.
Although Harry's movements couldn't keep up with Grom, his 'spirit' reaction was not weak at all, and he had already avoided the opponent's ferocious attack with a teleport.
What!?Grom was taken aback, space magic?
Harry's space magic had not been openly used in the Free Empire, so many people were unaware that he had received Chilly's true biography. After all, the last time he fought was with Tuclave, and Harry didn't know how to do space magic. And when the Qili Divine Dragon saw the beginning and the end, it was naturally impossible to go around to publicize it.
Then this phantom sword technique must also be related to space magic! Gromm's heart suddenly brightened, and he guessed Harry's new skill.
Phantom Sword Technique is indeed the use of space magic to achieve the purpose of infinitely accelerating the Dragon Sword.
Previously, the power of the sword technique was limited, and after blessing the fire element, it was only equivalent to the power level of the 9th level of the beginner level. In the face of real masters, Harry mostly resorted to sneak attacks rather than strong attacks.
The power of the Dragon Sword is limited by its speed. It's not that Harry can't increase its speed, it's that Harry's 'spirit' divine power has a range of less than 1,000 meters at most. To use a simple analogy, if you use the fastest acceleration to speed up the Dragon Sword, you must slow it down after flying 600 meters, otherwise it will fly out of Harry's control due to inertia. In the middle of this, the air resistance in high-speed operation is calculated, that is, 600 meters is almost the limit of the acceleration of the dragon meteor.
Even if the dragon swings its tail well, it can brake the fast Dragon Sword well, but at most, it will accelerate the Dragon Sword to 800 meters, and the slightest mistake will cause it to lose control. This is an unforgivable mistake in a life-and-death battle.
800 m ...... It's not enough to make the speed of the Dragon Sword reach a terrifying level. Even if it is a Rulai Excalibur, it can be controlled at an altitude of 3,000 meters at most. Because the power of the sword comes from the speed, not the weight of the sword. Harry's speed of descent is far inferior to that of the Dragon Sword, and once the gap between man and sword is widened by a thousand meters, Harry will not be able to control the Dragon Sword, and the little flying sword that has lost its guidance will not be able to attack the target at all......
Harry's illusion sword technique is to use spatial magic to achieve the purpose of infinitely accelerating the Dragon Sword.
Where the Spirit could reach him, Harry could create a spatial passage for the Dragon Sword. In other words, after the Dragon Sword flies out of the kilometer, it can use the space passage to return to Harry's side again, and its speed will not be affected, and it can continue to accelerate...... In this way, the Dragon Sword continues to accelerate by 1000 meters, 2000 meters, and 3000 meters...... It's not a problem anymore.
The only problem was that the speed of the Dragon Sword could not exceed Harry's reaction speed, and if it did go beyond that, it was possible that the Dragon Sword would be out of control before Harry could react.
However, with the consciousness body that combines two consciousnesses, and Harry, who is close to the fourth-order 'essence' divine power, how can his reaction ability be comparable to that of ordinary people? If the Dragon Sword reaches this speed...... Even if it's a fourth-order opponent, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist.
In addition to infinite acceleration, Phantom Sword Technique also has a characteristic of change, and the spatial passage does not have to be maintained in a straight line...... Grom will soon come to his senses.
Before Grom could think about it, the sound of breaking the sky sounded in the back of his head. The Dragon Sword actually reversed the direction of the attack while maintaining an accelerated state!
In a hurry, Grom swung his elbow behind him, striking the tip of the Dragon Sword.
The Dragon Sword spun around twice before Harry was summoned back to his side. And on Grom's arm, a deep bloody wound appeared......
Silence!
Grom was completely injured by Harry?!, only to let out a burst of exclamation from the crowd of spectators on the battle list, this is incredible, the god of war like Grom actually lost a move! The dull and frozen face, and the extremely shocked gaze 'shot' from their eyes.
Kerr looked at his god-like master even more stunned, he never thought that the master would be injured one day...... It's still at the hands of someone my own age, it's unbelievable.
Nilander clicked his mouth and closed it for a long time. It's not that he hasn't overestimated Harry, he's tried his best to raise Harry's strength. Maybe...... Like Harry said, he won't lose...... With space magic, Harry may not be defeated. At best, Nilander thought about it, he knew that Harry knew space magic.
But he never thought that Harry could hurt Grom! At Grom's level, being able to hurt him means that his strength is at least not inferior to him.
The 24-year-old little magician wounded Grom, the god of war! In the hearts of everyone, there is only one word to describe him: monster!
"Great...... I'm so excited! 100 years later...... No one has ever hurt me except Lord Oberline!" Grom had a strange look of delight on his face. The wound on his arm was wrapped in vindictive energy, and the bleeding had already stopped.
"Although it was due to my carelessness just now, the protection of the arm is not too strong. But if you can pierce my seventy percent of the attack of the ferocious fighting spirit, your phantom swordsmanship is not bad...... And I don't think you're doing your best in this move!" Grom 'licked' his lips and lips, and he was very different from his usual calm appearance. Like a hungry beast, its eyes 'shoot' a burst of fierce 'color', and its face 'color' is also a little distorted.
"I've decided to fight you with all my might! I may not be able to control my strength...... You have to be careful, don't die at my hands......" Grom's voice trembled a little. "After all these years, there is finally an opponent who deserves my full strength...... I'm so excited! What could be more exciting than being able to have a good fight before advancing to the ranks!"
"I'll try not to let you die...... I'm looking forward to seeing you advance to the Fourth Order!"
Feeling the dangerous aura emanating from Grom's body, Harry suddenly became solemn. It seems that the other party is really going to move seriously...... I knew that I wouldn't have provoked Grom's fighting spirit, even if I wanted to stop the war!
Armor of Ice! Armor of Wind!
Harry was able to cast Level 9 Ice Armor due to the Ice Inner Armor on his body, although only three times. The Armor of the Wind relied on its own magic power, and it was only level 7, and thanks to Harry's strong 'spirit' divine power, ordinary level 7 magicians could not cast elemental armor spells.
With two layers of protection, Harry felt a little more at ease. While he doesn't think Grom can hit him, it's worth being cautious.
Moreover, the Ice Wind Double Armor can make up for each other's defensive shortcomings, and when used together, the attack on level 9 power can indeed achieve miraculous results.
Now that things have come to this point, why don't you just have a good fight! See if you can really compete with Grom after more than two years of progress!
Harry's gaze was also lit with fierce intent, and he met Grom's eyes, and the corners of their mouths curled at the same time.
