Chapter 112: The Night Watch (Part II)
In that moment, there was nothing to be seen—only a dazzling golden red, roaring, roaring, surging and churning like a beast.
The fire is blazing, like a red lotus.
"Ahhhh——!!!!h
The roaring Loren swung the sword with all his might, without the slightest reservation.
One of the "secrets" that Isaac once told him - the power of "Bright Silver" is to materialize the power of the void and release it steadily, which is similar to the principle of a wand to a certain extent, so it can also be used as a "wand" in the strict sense.
It was precisely because of this that when he was in the Ancient Wood Forest, Loren was able to fix the bright silver on the wand "Tree Heart" given to him by the little wizard, becoming the "Dragon's Tooth".
But it's really the first time that it's used as a "magic wand"... The gray-blue sword that was supposed to be condensed turned into a burning flame under the effect of the spell itself.
The flames struck, then dissipated.
This is also the so-called "side effect" of being used as a wand - even if it is forged with Mithril, the Void Power that is so large that it exceeds the carrying limit is still not something that "Bright Silver" can bear, and at most it only lasts for a short time;
According to Isaac's calculations, it shouldn't take more than three seconds.
Three seconds... Unleashing such a powerful Turin fire in an instant was also the limit for Loren.
The flames dissipated, and the black-haired wizard, who had been able to maintain his composure a moment ago, gasped for breath, relieving the dizziness and severe pain caused by the loss of energy as soon as possible.
The floor beneath my feet has turned into a scorched earth, and there are many unextinguished embers... Half-kneeling, Rut Infinit spread his right hand in front of him, and the short sword in his hand was long gone.
Just... What's going on?
The moment the flames struck, Rut Infinit, who had attacked within two steps, knew that he could not dodge, and decisively gave up the short sword in his hand, and instead of dodging, he instinctively used the "Force Impact" to "block" the incoming flames with the air waves.
The "Flaming Sword" formed by condensing the flames of Turin was not a real blade after all, and it was foolish to condense the flames and explosions at high temperatures cast instantly.
The high temperature of nearly 1,000 degrees and the powerful impact force tore everything apart and burned everything, and even the floor and walls were dissolved, and the smoke that had not yet dissipated was mixed with a strange scorching smell.
Ruth Infinit's expression was hard to see.
Kneeling on one knee, there was hardly a single piece of his body intact - even if the impact blocked the flames, it couldn't stop the heat and embers.
The touch of imminent death swept through the body... The moment the flames came, he really felt that he was going to die!
How, how can this be......
Wheezing, Loren endured the pain in his temples, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared unwillingly at the leader of the Night's Watch who was still alive in front of him.
Even if you've gambled your all... Still doesn't work?
At the moment when the other party didn't get up, the bright silver sword in his hand bloomed again, and the last sword was stabbed!
The gray-blue beam tore through the smoke and dust, and Root, who couldn't dodge, almost instinctively struck the "Force Impact" again—the faint impact broke through the sword and brushed him by.
Dodging, Rute Infinit ducked into the smoke and dust of the hall and confirmed the location of the black-haired wizard with the glow of a silver sword.
The black-haired wizard did not continue to attack, but stayed where he was.
Root could feel that those dark eyes were also staring at him—even if he was ten steps away, the murderous aura of the other party was still rushing towards him as if it were substance.
The atmosphere in the hall was filled with smoke and dust, and the atmosphere was extremely silent.
He was scared......
The pain in his temples gradually eased, Loren slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and the blade of the sword in his hand became more and more stable, moving unhurriedly in the hall.
What exactly is Rut Infinit's weakness?
Or rather... What are your real strengths?
Experience, strength, skill, speed, reflexes...... Almost all of them were dominated by the other side, and a few encounters were enough to prove that if Rout was ready to kill, he would not have much room to dodge.
There is only one real difference between the two men - Rut Infinit, who is a night watchman, and Loren Turin who is a spellcaster.
This also meant that the opponent's spiritual hall was not enough to support the high-level spells he had used too many times, while Loren's physique could ignore the load of the Void Power;
That's where Loren's strength lies, and it's the only thing he's better at than Roote Infinit;
Loren's fighting skills have been honed over a long period of battle, and almost all of the powerful enemies he has faced are evil gods who can crush him with the power of the Void, or completely unreasonable "Oath Knights" like the Guardian Knights.
In the face of these enemies, the power of ordinary high-level spells is no longer enough to hurt them;
But Rute Infinit was different—he was strong, but he was still human, still an assassin with mastery of high-level spells.
"Bell ——!"
The firelight of the collision flickered again, and the bright silver sword was stopped by Root, and it was... Left hand!
The narrow blade stretched out from the empty sleeve, just right to block the gray-blue sword.
Loren's pupils narrowed......;
"Isn't it supposed to be in Charlotte Torino's hands?" a smile curled up at the corner of Rute Infinit's mouth: "It's interesting... Is it really worth the fuss that the Hidden Blade blueprint you left behind at the Royal Wizarding Academy to appear in the hands of the Night's Watch?"
"Or... Do you think there will be secrets in this city that we don't know?"
In the next second, the black-haired wizard's eyes changed from stunned to vicious.
"Bell ——!"
In the second collision of blades, the raiding Rout was forced back by the black-haired wizard's sword, and the pale leader of the Night's Watch clearly lost his initial momentum, with his temples beating and bloodshot eyes......
These are all signs that the energy is about to be exhausted, and the Void is too strong to erode.
And Loren is still getting faster, and even faster still has room to go.
Offense and defense reversal!
The black-haired wizard who swung his shiny silver around Ruth Infinit could only see a gray-blue glow flashing by, and again and again, one after another, the leader of the Night's Watch could barely parry, and became more and more scrambling;
Attack, Raid, Pick-up, Dodge!
The two of them kept moving their positions, twisting their steps to dodge each other's fatal blows, while looking for an opportunity to strike, parrying each other's attacks in an instant, and then closing in again.
"Bell ——!"
The sound of the clashing of swords was still in my ears, but the black-haired wizard stopped.
Rut Infinit had a gentle complexion, his left Hidden Blade stuck to the right side of his neck, blocking Loren's fatal blow, and the fingers of his right hand rested on the black-haired wizard's chest.
The bright silver sword wanted to tear open his throat, not even half a second;
The "Force Impact" that converged on Root's fingertips wanted to blow Loren's heart apart, but it was also only a millimeter;
The two of them just kept their posture motionless, and the expressions of their eyes were very subtle.
"Just a little bit ......"
Rute Infinit spoke first, staring at the black-haired wizard with complicated eyes: "Just a little bit, you can really kill me." ”
Loren frowned slightly, still motionless.
"All entrances and exits have been sealed, and the sewers have been filled with sewage?" a embarrassed Root smiled softly, his voice soft: "Not a bad lie—because this time, I really almost believed it." ”
"If that's the case, why do you have to fight with all your might to kill me? Let me guess... Are you running for time?"
"Kill me before the Night's Watch reinforcements arrive?"
At this moment, the black-haired wizard was already cold-faced.
"You see, time is fair to all and will not be on either side. The gentle Ruth Infinit smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Outside the dead hall, you can already hear the sound of intruding footsteps!
"Loren Turin, you should be honored... In the years that I have served His Majesty, you are the first person appointed by His Majesty to be free from the past as long as he can escape from the imperial capital. ”
Sighing, Rut Infinit's sun-flare-like eyes instantly froze:
"Now guess if I'm going to carry out this order?"
