Set Sail (Light Novel) Chapter 20, The Dance of the Sword

Being toyed with by Yuzu in the applause, and hearing Yuzu's taunt again, Nangong's hand moved a little faster than before. The heavy broadsword danced vigorously in his hand, and the ice ring instantly became a mess, and deep and clear sword marks could be seen everywhere.

It's not okay to be suppressed like this. The whole game is not a little fun.

"Nangong? You okay? Sorry sorry, I just got a little serious! Yuzu smiled and bent down to care about Nangong, but from Yuzu's eyes, Nangong couldn't see a trace of concern.

"Well, little problem, I'm just getting into the groove!" Nangong, who fell to the ground, stubbornly got up and said.

It's very scrappy! This guy. Yuzu quietly looked at the dark shadow in front of her from a distance.

Yuzu can fly into the air and unleash her skills carefree, a distance that cannot be ignored for the short-handed profession of a swordsman.

Looking around the grapefruit in front of him, Nangong stared at the air behind the grapefruit, which was the edge of the ring. Nangong remembered that the seemingly empty place was actually hidden there with an invisible but touchable ladder wall.

Because when he entered the ring before, Nangong roughly checked the props, environment, and detailed structure of this stage. Observing one's position and environment, and preparing for battle at any time, these are a habit that Nangong has subtly learned from Streamer in countless battles over the years.

Seeing Nangong rushing over with a sword, Yuzu rose directly into the air.

And, Nangong.

Holding the sword, he passed straight past the grapefruit.

"And so it goes?" Yuzu was puzzled, and when she turned around, Yuzu looked at Nangong's back. "What does he want to do?"

As he ran, Nangong raised his hand and threw out a sword gang, slashing at the air in front of him, and the sword gang rippled on the invisible wall.

"Found a place, right there!" Nangong got the answer she wanted.

With a firm gaze, every movement of Nangong is as if it was designed in advance, and it is extremely smooth. Take a big step and run straight to the edge of the stage.

Jump with your left foot and the underside of your right foot directly against the wall. The invisible force glued Nangong's body and the invisible wall together, so that Nangong could run freely on the vertical wall.

This upward climb was a little difficult, and Nangong directly withdrew the sword into the virtual backpack.

Borrowing his own hands and feet, Nangong was like an agile cheetah, stepping on the invisible wall and walking up quickly, and suddenly stopped, because this height was enough for Nangong to assassinate Yuzu. Nangong's legs bent and slammed on the wall, his trouser legs rolled up a large cyclone.

In the next second, Nangong fled directly into the air, and between the lightning and flint, he pulled the broadsword out of the virtual backpack, and skillfully approached the grapefruit flying in the air with the sword. With his right arm, he drew his broadsword and slashed a beautiful arc in the air.

"Yuzu, you're still a little bit short of something! If you want to defeat Nangong, let's come back next time, and I'll send you away in the next place. ”

Nangong's speed was unexpectedly fast, leaving afterimages in the air, causing Yuzu's eyes to wander around, and the wind blade couldn't keep up with Nangong's footsteps at all. Yuzu had difficulty judging Nangong's location and reacting accurately.

The strong wind set off by the sword light raged on the entire stage, and now it was Nangong's home field, and the virtual pain simulated by the system could be clearly felt on Yuzu's skin, and the strong wind made Yuzu hiss coldly.

Yuzu's scars glow blue in the scars, proof of injuries in this world.

In the sword wind, Nangong's eyes were squinted by the storm, his hair surged backwards like waves, and his clothes fluttered with the wind. Nangong's body was about to be blown out uncontrollably. "What a wind!"

The sword qi invaded every corner of Yuzu's body, and Yuzu stretched out her left arm to cover her eyes. The game system has been prompting "HP-5, HP-10, HP-8......"

"Aren't you out yet?" In the strong wind, Nangong opened his eyes with difficulty, and his steps relied on the ladder wall made of orange and blue transparent glass. Nangong jumped into the air and swung his sword blade again, slashing at Yuzu who was hiding behind the wind wall. β€œhey! Do you need me to put water? I can play with you a little longer! Nangong, who had regained a city, immediately shouted at Yuzu proudly, and the movements made by his body became more and more confident and flamboyant. This is a tribute to the previous one.

There was a crisp clanging sound between the blade of the sword and the blade of the wind. The wind blades shot out by Yuzu in a hurry were all dodged by Nangong, and then broken one by one. Nangong was rapidly approaching him, and Yuzu couldn't catch Nangong's figure at all, but subconsciously he could feel the direction and source of the danger, which was a inheritance from the blood.

"Boom, boom!" Yuzu bent her body and kept unleashing qi explosions with both hands, so as to widen the distance between herself and Nangong. But gradually, Yuzu was unknowingly forced to the edge of the ring by Nangong. With a "bang", Yuzu's back suddenly touched the invisible orange glass wall, and the glass wall then appeared behind it. Yuzu turned her head and glanced behind her. "Is it the end of it? Oops! As soon as Yuzu turned his head back, he saw Nangong slashing with a sword, striding meteors, and the sharp sword passed directly through his chest.

"Poof!" Bang.

The broadsword slashed a graceful blue arc from Yuzu's chest.

β€œ-39HP!”

This sword was a fatal wound, and Yuzu's HP value suddenly plummeted. The red blood bar is almost zero, and now Yuzu only has 28% of its blood left, can it still survive?

Yuzu frowned and stepped aside, but her eyes were fixed on the dynamic and flexible Nangong in the ring. It doesn't matter if you lose the battle, it's just a game, after all. But girl, she doesn't want to lose yet!

"Sure enough...... Isn't the weightless environment on the spaceship right for him? "That's why I was able to defeat Nangong at that time! Yuzu thought a lot. Nangong he, after all, is from that place.

"Yuzu, you still need a little bit of time to grow. In this ring, though, you can stop there. "In the battle with Yuzu, Nangong only used the most basic and simple techniques of splitting, chopping, picking, and stabbing in the broadsword technique, without applying any gorgeous sword skills to it.

At the critical moment, Yuzu suddenly sees a list of weapons in the view window. "Arsenal?" When I opened it, Yuzu's eyes lit up, and the beautiful weapons of various series on the shelves were dazzling.

Knives, guns and sticks! There's a lot of everything. However, these are just basic weapons, items that only beginners will use temporarily. Without high attack power, special effects, and buff bonuses, and durability and tenacity are inferior to high-end weapons, this third-rate commodity is very limited in real ring matches.

Of course, Yuzu didn't care about their power.

Looking at these uniquely shaped weapons in the arsenal, Yuzu suddenly had a novel idea in his mind. Resist the power of the wind. My wind might be able to manipulate them, in that case...... Yuzu looked at the dark shadow standing in the wind. The probability of winning a battle with Nangong will be much higher.

As soon as he said it, Yuzu's footsteps fell from the air, and the moment he landed, Yuzu suddenly manipulated the faint air flow around him. The wind is surging and converging towards itself. All of Yuzu's senses can feel the presence of the wind. They run through their sleeves and necklines, gently stroke their hair, and then playfully flip their dresses open to see the scenery inside.

Yuzu could feel the air currents around her touching every inch of her skin, and they were summoned by herself. On the orders of the king, they gathered here.

The Wind Blade is not strong enough, and these metal weapons, they may be able to make up for it.

"It's so heavy!" Yuzu tried several times, but to no avail. The heavy blades lay peacefully on the ground, not bothering to pay attention to the chick of Yuzu.

The wind could not hold these heavy metal weapons at bay. Even though Yuzu tried her best to manipulate all the cyclones to grab the handles of these blades, she couldn't do it at all, it was too difficult.

Nangong watched from a distance for a while, but in the next second, Nangong directly rushed up and simply knocked the grapefruit to the ground with a sword. Now he is actually teaching Yuzu the skills of fighting, and Yuzu is now like a newborn, with almost no knowledge of combat in his head.

"Yuzu, you are different from me, superpowers are your best partner. Put your energy into your research. Now you don't have that foundation. "It's like a newborn without the strength to go skateboarding and surfing. Before you can get into the complexities of the human world, you need to be familiar with your body and strength, and use your limbs in harmony before you can explore the complexities.

Bullying stepped forward, fighting with Yuzu, Nangong said.

"My winds can't fight my heart yet." Yuzu realized the problem. Your own wind may be able to easily blow over a big tree, but it is difficult to blow an iron ball.

Because when I was on the dog planet in the past, I didn't actually have so many opportunities to use superpowers, and I usually just played. Compared with Nangong, he is too much worse than his combat experience. He lacked the protracted practice like Nangong and them, and he also lacked the sensational hell trials in the ancient martial arts world that he had heard.

No experience, all the time. It's all Yuzu groping her way forward.

"Unconsciously, did I go astray?" Only then did Yuzu react. With a long exhale, after cleaning up her mood, Yuzu's hand suddenly became confident. A smile curled up at the corners of his mouth. "But it's okay, I'll knock you down this time, Nangong."

Seeing Nangong who was oppressed again, the blades of the arsenal were all taken out by Yuzu in an instant, and then stacked on top of each other. Yuzu stretched out his hands and violently injected a compressed energy into it, and suddenly there was a "boom", and a large-scale explosion occurred on the ground.

"Gasburst!" This is a technique that Jona once taught Yuzu, and it is one of the few techniques that Jona allows Yuzu to practice in private. Wind superpowers may have a lot of useful and gorgeous skills, but [Air Explosion] is the most skillful one used by Yuzu. It's like eating in a normal way, and about this, the grapefruit is too ripe to be ripe anymore.

"Ahem...... Cough! ”

The blades on the ground were all blown away by the gas explosion that Yuzu had been quietly brewing for a long time, and the sword had no eyes, turned into metal shards, and exploded in all directions. Faced with the scattered metal fragments without dead ends, Nangong could only hold a broadsword to cover his chest and head. The body bent, Nangong listened to the metal fragments slamming into the broadsword with a sonorous and powerful bang, "clanging", and the metal fragments wrapped in a powerful impact force struck a pleasant sonata on the back of Nangong's broadsword.

In the face of this indiscriminate attack, Nangong had no intention of caring about the rest of his body, and there were several places on his thighs and abdomen that suddenly flashed with blue fluorescence.

"Hiss! It hurts! Nangong gasped in pain, couldn't help but squint the corners of his eyes, and looked at the girl through the slit in his eyes.

"So treacherous, Yuzu!"

In this game, injuries reduce the agility of the character. The paralyzing sensation caused by the injury instantly swept Nangong's whole body, and Nangong's legs and feet fell down uncontrollably, but fortunately, his wrist was able to react in time, and the tip of the sword landed on the ground, and Nangong tried to use his broadsword to support his heavy body and barely collapse.

After all, Nangong is a swordsman, and this profession, which has almost no means of defense, is far less good than a sword and shield hand with both offense and defense when facing a crisis.

Yuzu's side was also uncomfortable, although he had made preparations in advance and used a makeshift patchwork of air shields to cover himself and escape to the ladder wall, but the powerful impact generated by the [Qi Explosion] still caught Yuzu by surprise, and in the end, his body hit the invisible wall hard, and his internal organs rolled.

Nangong was the closest to the explosion site, and was once again hit by the powerful impact of the grapefruit, Nangong's back hit the ground with an uncontrollable "bang", falling from the air to the ground, and the pain transmitted from various parts of the body made the corners of Nangong's mouth twitch unnaturally a few times.

Nangong's health bar was rapidly decreasing.

But that's not all.

"Ha~ Nangong, you don't have any tricks now, right?" Yuzu coughed twice, jumped off the ladder wall, and walked leisurely towards Nangong, who collapsed to the ground.

Looking at the ill-intentioned, Yuzu who is rushing towards him. Nangong lay on the floor gasping for air. Said tiredly. "Yuzu, don't do this, you're going to me off. Really, the consequences can be much more serious than you think. Nangong was patiently persuading Yuzu, but there was no sincerity in Nangong's attitude and expression.

"Oh, then let me see your swordsmanship! Nangong! Pick up your sword and slash me! A contemptuous smile tugged at the corners of Yuzu's mouth.
