Chapter 144: Sword of Light
Immediately following Fanatiano, the four integration knights behind him also reversed the big sword stuck in the ground in unison with neat movements. The sword qi that erupted from it seemed to overwhelm Lin Yiyan's momentum, making the air in the corridor tremble. Obviously in such a tense situation, the buzzing Fanatio's voice was still extremely gloomy.
"Sinner Yi Yan, it seems that you want to have a one-on-one duel with me...... Sadly, however, what we have received is a strict order that if you come to this corridor, you will be wiped out by any means. Therefore, you should use them as opponents at the same time. The four-spinning sword that I trained with my own hands! ”
After making the proclamation in a high voice, Fanatio began with a "system call" and began a complex high-speed chant of divine magic, the content of which was probably no, obviously armed total domination. So, do you want to use the same technique to fight, or do you just cut it before the other person finishes chanting?
Lin Yiyan chose the latter. With a force so violent that sparks sparked on the soles of his shoes, he lunged towards Fanatio, raising his black sword high above his head and swinging it down. However, at the same time, of the four standing behind Fanatio, the knight on the far left also began to assault. The heavy two-handed sword slashed out from the left side with a low groan, and slashed towards Lin Yiyan.
Lin Yiyan, who had already entered a state of self-forgetfulness, quickly changed the direction of the sword and took the slash launched by the knight from directly above. With a loud and piercing sound, both of them were bounced away and distanced themselves.
However, compared to the knight whose huge weapon was bounced overhead, Lin Yiyan regained control of the sword more quickly, and he had already entered a counterattack posture the moment he landed on the ground, as long as he broke into the enemy's defenseless arms now
“……!?”
In the next moment when he was convinced of Lin Yiyan's victory, Yugeo immediately held his breath. The second knight on the left-hand side had already rushed up at some point, correctly aimed at Lin Yiyan's landing location and released a horizontal slash with all his might.
Lin Yiyan stopped, then swung his sword to the upper left, ricocheting off the enemy's attack. With the exact same metal sound and a large number of sparks as before, the distance between the two expanded to about four mel.
The second knight, his body posture also tends to collapse. Of course, if you slash with such a giant sword with all your might, once it is bounced off, no matter how amazing the sword-wielder is, there is no way to return to its original state. Rather, Yi Yan's move, which can take the enemy's sword with minimal movements, absorb the impact in a soft way, and then instantly enter a counterattack posture is admirable.
However. didn't even have time to sigh, and the third knight who attacked Lin Yiyan, who had just landed, appeared in Yugeo's eyes. Yugeo forced his gaze away from the sword intersect that had been repeated three times, and looked behind the two of them.
“!!” Then, Yogeo gritted his teeth. At the moment when Lin Yiyan and the third knight's sword blades intersected, the fourth knight began to advance.
But why were they able to predict Lin Yiyan's location so accurately? Lin Yiyan's reaction to the sweeping slash that appeared again was finally a little chaotic, but he finally succeeded in taking the attack, and was bounced away after a dull "clang", and the body in black flew in the air.
I see.
Eugeo finally understood the intentions of the four knights.
The knights' attacks, from the beginning to the present, are exactly the same horizontal slash from left to right. If you use your sword to catch this kind of slash, the direction of the bounce will be fixed to some extent. Moreover, the next knight's attack was a horizontal slash aimed at this point. With a larger hit range than a thrust or vertical slash, and the blade is so long and large, there is ample chance that Yi Yan will continue to capture the effective range of the slash even if he moves before the prediction of landing.
The integration knights should not have learned the secret meaning of more than two consecutive hits, but now Lin Yiyan is facing a trick that can be called a "group continuous technique". Sure enough, these guys are different from the swordsmen of the beautiful Yangdu who only pursue the type, and they are real warriors who have experienced actual battles with the dark territory.
However, the Knights' combo tactics are by no means omnipotent.
Hurry up and realize this, Yi Yan, as long as you notice, there is a way to counter it!
From Yugeo's throat, who wanted to shout loudly, a muffled moan came out, and his tongue and lips slowly began to move. In order to get back to the state of chanting in the shortest possible time, Yugeo desperately moved his mouth to recover his stiff muscles, while also trying to throw a voice at his partner.
Lin Yiyan, who received the sword attack of the fourth knight, landed a little unsuccessfully, and could only use one hand to support the ground. The first knight who repositioned himself and burst in again slashed away with a low groan. Lin Yiyan violently threw his upper body backwards and slid under the sword body. A bunch of black bangs intersected with the blade of the sword, and in an instant, it flew in all directions in the air.
If you know that the attack is a horizontal slash, you just need to avoid the sword move and dodge it from above or below. However, the premise of this is that the evasive action can be coherent with the counterattack.
If you just lie on the ground like this, you have to delay at least one breath before you want to make the next movement, no, maybe even longer. The second knight, who approached Yi Yan from the left, would definitely not let go of this flaw. The broadsword that had been mounted on the side quickly moved upwards, converting the attack into a vertical slash.
"Ah......h
Dangerous! Ignoring the sharp pain in his throat, Yugeo tried to scream. There's no way to hide from it. When Eugeo was convinced of this and wanted to avoid it
On Lin Yiyan's right side, the body of the first knight who had just swung the sword to the end suddenly shook heavily. Lin Yiyan didn't just lie on the ground. At some point, he had hooked the knight's feet with his own feet, and then used the essentials of the joint technique to hook backwards and pull the knight down on top of him.
The second knight had no time to stop his downward slash, and could only watch as the blade slashed deep into his companion's back. With intense consternation, the knight tried to draw the sword back with his left hand, but the next moment, his left hand was struck by a black flash of light that burst out from below.
Lin Yiyan stood up, made a stab with the momentum of getting up, and cut off all the knight's two arms accurately, and then, without thinking, pushed the body of the second knight towards the third knight who rushed to this side in a little panic. No matter how he spoke, he could not cut his companion in half, and the third knight could only put away his sword.
As a result, the continuous attacks of the group called the Four Spinning Swords by Fanatio finally stopped. Lin Yiyan seized this gap and ran at a terrifying speed, not even looking at the four knights, just attacking Fanatio, who was still chanting the spell.
I'm going to catch up
Ugeo shouted desperately in his heart.
“enhance……!” Fanatio groaned.
"Woooo Lin Yiyan roared angrily, and the sword swung down from the sky. Although this was originally a distance that was normally impossible to reach, the blade of the sword immediately emitted a yellow-green flash. Ein Grant Flow, Sonic Leap. Although it is a single vertical slash, it has a dashing force that is enough to close the distance several times in an instant.
Fanatio's thin sword "swished" and pointed at Lin Yiyan, who was dragging the light band and jumping up like a fierce beast. However, with such a weapon with a gorgeous appearance, no matter what kind of action he made, there was no way to catch Yi Yanmi's mysterious blow. The weight of the long sword sharpened by Kigascida even exceeded that of the Green Rose Sword as an artifact, and if combined with Yi Yan's god-fast slash, even if there were three more swords, such a thin sword would only be cut off.
The black-clad swordsman jumped to the apex and began to swing his sword forward for this moment
With a bang, the sword in the knight's hand shone brightly. No, to be precise, the entire sword emitted a blue-white glow, extending forward at an alarming speed.
A thin beam of light pierced through Lin Yiyan's left abdomen, continuing to gallop through the air, and finally hit the ceiling of the large cloister high above, causing a small explosion. Everything that happened was just in a moment. Due to the impact of being pierced through his abdomen, Lin Yiyan's secret meaning shifted slightly, only passing by the decoration of the wing pattern on Fanatio's helmet that was turned sideways, and slashed into the empty air.
The amount of blood that flew out from the wound in the abdomen was not much, but if it was a wound of this magnitude, it should not make the Mandate of Heaven decrease rapidly, but Lin Yiyan, who landed on the ground, just knelt on one knee like this. If you look closely with your eyes, you will find that thin smoke is coming out of the small hole where Yi Yan's shirt was torn.
Is it a flame-based attack? But the light emitted from Fanatio's sword was a dazzling white glow with a faint bluish. A flame of that color, Eugeo had never seen before. Fanatio turned around, his movements still graceful. Then, he pointed the tip of the thin sword at Lin Yiyan who was kneeling on the ground again.
With a "bang", the beam burst out again, and if Lin Yiyan hadn't jumped to the left when he couldn't make a move, his right foot would inevitably be shot through. The evasive light hit the hard marble floor, causing another small explosion. By the time the light had dissipated, the surface had melted into a red-hot hole.
"How...... Yes......! Yugeo, who subconsciously screamed, didn't even realize immediately that he was able to speak.
The materials used for the cathedral are pure white smooth stone and the same monumental marble as the monumental walls that separate the cruciform of Santoria. If it's just a flame, it won't hurt it at all. As evidence, even if the ground was bathed in the karmic fire that erupted from Disorugbat's flaming bow, only the carpet was burned.
In other words, if Fanatio's total domination attack was also a flame attribute, its power would be several times or even dozens of times higher than that of Desorubart's attack. If he suffered a direct attack from this kind of move, wouldn't Yi Yan's Heavenly Destiny be evaporated in an instant?!
Yugeo felt his body gripped by the cold iron claws called Fear. In front of his line of sight, Lin Yiyan didn't dare to stop jumping irregularly for a moment, and the beams of light shot from Fanatio's thin sword kept flashing, digging holes in the marble floor.
Another terrifying aspect of the opponent's move was that there was no preparation for the beam to be retracted or stabbed, at least in the position of Eugeo, and it was impossible to tell when the next beam would burst out from the tip of the sword pointing straight ahead. And its attack range is almost infinite, although the knight Elderier's frostscale whip also claimed to be the same, but compared to this rapier, it is like child's play.
With a domineering attitude, Fanatio pursued Lin Yiyan with a dance-like movement. The fourth, fifth, and sixth strikes, Lin Yiyan dodged with superhuman athleticism and wild instincts. However, the seventh blow was fatally over.
With a "bang", the beam of light that passed through the air pierced the toe of Lin Yiyan's right foot in the air, Lin Yiyan lost his balance, and his shoulder hit the ground heavily, and in the next moment, the tip of Fanatio's sword had been fixed under Lin Yiyan's erect black hair.
"Easy ......"
Yi Yan ......! As he subconsciously tried to scream, Yugeo finally noticed that the pain that was tearing at his throat gradually subsided. In such a state, the sound made should be enough for the technique to be established. Swallowing the sorrow back into his stomach, Yugeo let out a deep breath and began the chant at a volume that the knight could not hear, but only the god of creation could hear.
"System call...... "Since it is Lin Yiyan, even if he is in such a desperate situation, there will always be some way. Then, there is only one thing to do, which is to complete the technique according to his instructions and keep it in a state that can be activated at any time.
Pointing the Killing Sword straight at Lin Yiyan, Fanatio was silent for a second or so as if he was a little uneasy, and then said in a gloomy voice, "...... It has always been my bad habit to have to say a few words to my opponent on such occasions, and His Royal Highness the Knight has persuaded me for more than a hundred years to change my ...... However, I still can't bear it. I can't bear to see the people who are lying under the aura of the sword piercing in my sky, all with such incredible expressions...... You must be confused about what kind of moves you were so easily subdued, right? ”
Unconsciously, the four knights under Fanatio's command also completed the treatment of the wounded, held the big sword with one hand, and stood a little far away around Yi Yan in a large circle. This makes it even more difficult to escape. But fortunately, listening to Fanatio's tone, it seems that he will be talking nonsense for a long time. Eugeo concentrated all his energy, not allowing himself to mispronounce a word, and tried his best to continue the construction of the technique.
"Although you are a sinner, since you have lived in Yangdu, you should know such a thing as a mirror, right?" For this overly jumpy question, even though Lin Yiyan was enduring severe pain, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
Mirror.
Naturally, Eugeo has seen it too. Although there was nothing in Lurid's home, there was a small mirror in the academy's high-level swordsman's dormitory. Although it is an incredible prop that can reflect his body with a clarity that cannot be matched by the surface of the water or metal plates, Yugeo is not enthusiastic about it because he has no liking for his weak appearance.
Fanatio resolutely grasped the sword in a position that Yi Yan would attack immediately, and continued with a voice that could not be perceived, "Because it is a luxury made by pouring molten silver on glass plates, it is not surprising that the people outside of the central capital have no chance to touch it...... That prop can completely reflect the light of Sols. Do you understand...... In other words, it stands to reason that the reflected light should be twice as warm as the rest of the place. One hundred and thirty years ago, our esteemed High Priest collected a large number of silver coins and silver artifacts from Santoria, gave them all to the glassmakers, and ordered them to build a thousand large mirrors. It was to experiment with the attack technique known as a weapon, which did not require chanting. A thousand mirrors arranged in a semicircle in the front courtyard of the cathedral gathered the light of Saulse in the middle of summer, and the white flame produced burned a huge rock in just a few minutes. ”
bing qi…… White flame ......? What Fanatio said, Eugeo didn't fully understand. However, his instincts told him that what the High Priest wanted to do was as terrible as the act of having children kill each other in order to test the resurrection.
In the end, the High Priest decided that such a thing would be too cumbersome for battle, but, in order not to waste everything, he condensed a thousand mirrors with divine magic and forged them into a sword. This is this artifact, the Heavenly Piercing Sword. See, sinner, what runs through your belly and feet is the majesty of the sun god Thors! Hearing Fanatio's proud words, it was clear that the complete domination technique that was about to be completed had reached the most critical juncture, and Yugeo couldn't help but be taken aback.
Is the light of Thorse, reflected in a thousand mirrors, the true face of the white light?
If it is based on the hot element, it can also be countered by the cold element. However, how to defend against attacks in the form of light? To the best of Eugeo's knowledge, techniques that use light elemental power as the source of power have no direct attack power. If it is a light used to confuse the vision, it can be counteracted with the Dark Attribute Divine Technique, but with that level of light, even if ten or twenty small dark elements are gathered, it will be easily penetrated.
Ignoring the unbearable restlessness in his heart, Yugeo's lips continued to weave the technique almost automatically, and finally reached the last line. Next, simply sing the last line of "Enhance Armament" to unleash the power of the Sword of the Green Rose. However, it is still necessary to wait for Lin Yiyan's signal.
