Chapter 40: The Third Level
"Congratulations on breaking through the second area, is the challenger returning to the real world?"
"Go on. β
"Your current challenge is: the third area, the Blade Arena. Guardian: Dance of the Blades. β
The cold voice fell, and the scenery in front of Eloh's eyes changed again, turning into a wide white stone platform.
This time, there was no topographical influence, and the guardian was also standing not far in front of him, dressed in black, with two long swords, one black and one white, behind his back, ordinary but extraordinary.
After breaking through the second level, Iroh simply treated the wound before moving on to the next area.
Of course, this is not that Iroh is too arrogant, but that he intends to try his limits.
Shadow of the Jungle is strong, but that battle is more about explosiveness and insight. What Iroh wants more is an opponent who can test himself from all aspects,
For example, the one in front of you.
As if to confirm that Iroh was ready, the guardian moved in an instant.
The black light armor was like a deep ink mark swaying between the sky and the earth, and the white long sword behind him was the first to come out of its sheath, swallowing a dazzling sword light, and the Dao sword shadow was like a drizzle of rain, and its terrifying sword aura was interspersed like rain.
Ello's pupils contracted suddenly, and the next moment the Egg of Shelter activated, only to see a flickering dragon egg made of purple energy envelop him and disappear.
Subsequently, Iroh appeared in an alternate dimension.
With a sigh of relief, the Egg of Shelter, although it was only a low-level dragon magic, was very useful. For example, in an emergency situation like just now, the Golden Scale Protector could not be used for the time being, and the huge body could only be a burden in this dense sword light.
Unlike the Phantom Arrow Rain of Jungle Shadow, Dance of Blades' attacks are all real, and the moment I make contact, Iroh realizes that his strength is indeed much stronger than that of Jungle Shadow - so if you resist hard, the result will never be good.
It also takes some preparation time to activate the Transfiguration Technique, so in an emergency, only the Egg of Asylum magic can be used.
Without wasting precious time, after completing the transformation, Iroh used the remaining time to treat the injury in his heart.
Then, the duration of the spell ends.
The gray-clad boy appeared in place of the dragon, and the sword qi that was as continuous as the autumn rain had reached him, and its ubiquitous sword shadow was even more boundless falling leaves.
Taking a deep breath, even a proud Arlo must admit that there are times when the small size of a human can make a huge difference. Like now, at least he didn't have to think about how to dodge all the sword lights.
"It's like a dragon!"
Another dragon spell is activated. Feeling his body suddenly become as light as the wind, Iroh exerted his strength slightly, and the almost impenetrable sword light became a prison full of flaws in his eyes, and Iroh rushed towards the Dance of Blades like an arrow off the string.
This time the opponent was completely different from Shadow of the Jungle, and it was clearly more inclined to long-lasting weakening than an instantaneous outburst.
In other words, if you are beaten passively like before, it will only be Iroh himself who loses.
Yun lightly avoided the sweeping sword qi, but Ello's gaze stopped on the opponent's long sword, his gaze slightly fixed on it.
As the distance between the two shortened, the black sword behind the Dance of Blades suddenly unsheathed.
Different from the illusion and reality of the white sword, unpredictable, this black sword is unpretentious, exuding a calm and firm momentum.
At this moment, the two swords came out together, and the sword light that Ai Luo was facing under the combination of rigidity and softness suddenly increased several times!
Tossing and turning, the sword light of the Dance of Blades became more and more dazzling.
If it was just a drizzle before, now it is like a hurricane, with the wind sweeping the leaves, cutting off Elo's back road. In such a situation, Iroh can only choose to dodge, or admit defeat, and have no chance to make a move at all.
Could it be that the accumulation of four years can only stop at the third level?
Iroh didn't think anything of it at this point.
Because, he simply didn't have the slightest energy left to think about superfluous things.
He could feel the sword momentum of the Dance of Blades growing stronger and stronger, reaching its peak - at that time, it was the moment when the attack of the Dance of Blades burst out, and the entire platform would be enveloped in this incomparably terrifying sword momentum, this was the power of the Dance of Blades!
Instead of killing with a single blow like Shadow of the Jungle, it slowly pushes the enemy into the abyss of despair.
Therefore, if in the face of the Shadow of the Jungle, Iroh could still seize the opportunity to counterattack instantly, then this time he did not have the slightest chance.
In the next moment, Iroh's pupils suddenly contracted like needles.
"Sure enough, the guards in the third level are still a little too strong for me...... However, it's not my style to throw in the towel. β
Sighing silently, Iroh made a decision in an instant. I saw that in the shadow of the sword in the sky, Iro's figure was like snow swaying in the wind, frozen in mid-air in vain.
Thus stood still in the storm of death, and let the oncoming wind howl and blow his clothes to the sound of hunting.
Gazing at the sword shadow in the sky with calm eyes, Iroh whispered, "It's over." β
At the same moment, his eyes also completely turned goldenβnot a little golden light from the black pool before, but the whole eye was filled with gold, like a small sun in the eye socket.
The dance of blades in the gallop changed slightly, is this guy finally going to make a move?
Hearing this, there was no contempt in the eyes of the Dance of Blades, as a top swordsman, he would never despise others because of his opponent's words, all he could do was to wield the sword in his hand to the extreme.
At this time, the offensive of the two swords has been vividly and vividly, the sharp sound of breaking the wind is even stronger on the platform, the sword momentum of the dance of the blades has reached the extreme, and then the two swords are united, and the thousands of sword shadows are like the rain slanting down in the heavens and the earth, but in the next moment, they merge into a knife of nothingness, slashing towards Ailuo.
The so-called Dance of the Blades, this is his real weapon - the knife!
"Smack-"
As the golden pendant was knocked down by the sharp blade, Iroh finally moved. His fingers lifted slightly, and a seemingly inconspicuous fireball appeared on his fingertips.
"Dance of the Blades...... Let's use you to test my true strength. β
The moment the words fell, the small fireball fell to the ground.
Burst.
Before entering the arena, Iroh and Noele discussed the information that remained in the ruins. Although Noele had not studied this area in depth, he made a suggestion at the time that since the material extracted from the scales of Ailo was very close to the "uranium" recorded in the ruins that caused the explosion, it was possible......
Ello also has the ability to cause a similar explosion in his body?
Unfortunately, in the real world, that kind of explosion is too amazing, and if Iroh really restores it, I'm afraid that he will immediately fall into endless trouble.
And that didn't work out with Iroh's plans, at least until he built up a strong enough force, he wasn't going to do anything too high-profile.
But it's not the same in the Arena of Iota.
Forced to the extreme by the Dance of the Blades, Iroh finally plans to completely release the ability in his body when the restraint is detached. And this time, instead of letting it spread freely, it will be condensed in one point and then explode!
In a trance, Iroh seemed to see a strange picture: in a void space, a seemingly ordinary ball was slowly spinning. If you look closely, you can see that the ball is actually made up of more and smaller spheres, and Iroh roughly counted them, and there are 239 in total.
What does this mean?
Before the thought could be finished, a brilliant stream of light suddenly pierced the space and bombarded the ball.
- Heaven and earth are discolored!
The pupils of the Dance of the Blades shrank sharply, and the shadow of the knife pierced through the lightning and flint seemed to be under the pressure of a mountain, as if it was on a majestic mountain, and it collapsed directly.
Before he could make a single move, the unprecedented light and heat filled the entire Blade Arena, and then ...... Reduces everything to ashes in less than a second.
After a long time, the immeasurable light and heat gradually dissipated, and the originally wide white platform had become a huge crater. And in the center of the huge crater, Iro, who had recovered his body, stared at the amazing scene in front of him with great concentration, as if he was still reminiscing about the explosion just now.
To be honest, Iroh had never seen such a terrifying explosion, although he had already felt its power and suppressed the scale of the explosion a little, but he didn't expect that even a weakened explosion would be enough to blow up the entire arena!
It has been said before that the power of magicians lies in their ability to mobilize the power of heaven and earth for their own use.
Facing a top-notch legendary archmage is tantamount to facing the wrath of heaven and earth. With the insignificance of manpower, how can it be compared with heaven and earth?
Iroh had thought of this until now.
If...... If a person can grasp such a terrifying power, then it can be regarded as heaven and earth......
Perhaps, it also has the power of a war, right?
"Congratulations on breaking through the third sector, is the challenger returning to the real world?"
"Yes. β
This time Iroh didn't move on, and while he was confident that he would use this explosion to break through the fourth level again, don't forget that the purpose of this challenge to the Iota Arena was mainly to test his limits, not to actually clear the level.
Besides, based on the strength of the Dance of Blades, it is speculated that the defender of the next level may kill himself before he has time to cause an explosion.
"Although I still had to use my hole cards in the end, I finally got an idea of my strength......"
The next moment, Iroh, who had returned to the castle hall, stood up, his dark eyes shining in the sunlight.
"The preparations are over, so it's time to go back!"
