Chapter 240: Sword Shadow (Part II)
Bridit found that no matter how backwards, left and right avoidance, or jumping, she couldn't dodge the lightning-like slash.
The momentum of that knife was as if it was going to cut her soul in two. I'm afraid it's just like what this knife says, this is a stunt that has killed a dragon in the past, and killed all powerful dragons with one stab.
Can she defeat the dragon? The answer is no, at least now she doesn't even have the qualifications to be a dragon opponent. In the face of this knife that is enough to slay the dragon, all her resistance is useless.
But even so, she still has to fight, she won't die so weakly! Even if she is too desperate to despair, she will fight until the last moment.
Five yo-yos flew in front of Briditt and formed a pentagonal shield, which was the strongest shield that gathered all of Briditt's strength.
"Click!" heard the sound of her baby's yo-yo shattering, and it really couldn't be stopped, even if she had tried her best, but the opponent's attack was too strong, so strong that she could almost completely ignore her defenses.
It is often said that when you are dying, you will recall all the things in your life, and Bridit feels that scenery now.
She was born in a poor and backward tribe, the population of the entire tribe is only a few hundred people, everyone lives in poverty, but everyone has a smile on their faces. From a very young age, she received many gifts from everyone, and everyone gave the greatest love to the newborn children of this tribe.
When she was a child, she didn't have anything special, she loved to play like other children, ran around, and always made everyone laugh. There is only one difference from others, that is, her hands are very dexterous, and when she plays with all kinds of intellectual toys, her thinking speed may not be as fast as others, but the speed of her hands must be the fastest.
Among them, the yo-yo with silk threads is her favorite toy, and she can manipulate it as if it were a part of her body. And even she doesn't know when this talent has developed into combat effectiveness, and she will never forget how surprised everyone looked at her when she first used this unique technique to kill a giant bear.
After that, she said goodbye to her homeland, and the elders who discovered her gift sent her to the holy place of the Southern Church, which was specially used to train battle shrine maidens. There, she met a lot of good sisters, and finally discovered that her body, which had never grown up, was abnormal.
The years of hard work always passed quickly, and when she officially became a shrine maiden and returned to the village, everyone frantically embraced her, and she saw so many smiles and joy for the first time.
Because she became a shrine maiden, everyone in her hometown no longer starved, newborn children could get richer food, and sick old people could be better cared for.
So she's happy with who she is, and she's been working hard for it. Attending the Brave Conference and getting to know Astarot (Ulysses) gave her more motivation to move forward.
She doesn't want to die, she doesn't want to die like this, she wants to live! She has many, many things that she wants to do, many, many wishes that she wants to accomplish. She is unwilling to die like this here.
"Click!" the fourth yo-yo shattered, and Briditt's strength was at its limit in front of the knife that was enough to slice through the dragon's defenses.
Then, a new voice appeared.
"Ding!" was the sound of swords intertwined, resounding through the sky.
"Fourth fluctuation. Ulysses and the abyssal conviction in his hand turned into a black and white streamer, blocking the dragon-slaying slash for Bridit at the last moment, and bringing her out of a desperate situation of mortality.
This set of sword skills called "Seven Shadows" is not comparable to the Dragon Killing and Destruction Sword Style in terms of power alone, but the instantaneous acceleration it can provide is the fastest among all the sword skills of the Ulysses Society, and with the explosive power of the infinite ** realm, it is the most suitable to save people.
However, Ulysses didn't expect that this knife had such terrifying power, not only cutting Briditt's yo-yo effortlessly, but also making his wrist almost completely unconscious, and blasting him and Bridit away together.
However, the purple broadblade that slashed this one was even more surprising than Ulysses.
"Fourth Wave, isn't this your trick, brother? The Seven Shadows in the Aurora Sword, right?"
"That's right, and it's the fourth fluctuation that has been cultivated to near perfection, and it wouldn't be better for me to use it myself. "The blue rune sword was full of praise for the fourth wave used by Ulysses, and he had never seen such a beautiful fourth wave except himself.
Fast as lightning, the body and sword are one, walking between light and shadow, completing the impossible miracle at the last moment, compared with the supreme and powerful attack of the dragon slaying knife, this sword skill is obviously more elegant and noble.
Back then, he used the fourth wave in this way. This is a crucial sword in the Seven Shadows, in fact, the whole set of Seven Shadows is just the enlightenment sword style of the Aurora Sword. Only those who have mastered the fourth wave can be regarded as truly stepping into the door of the Aurora Sword.
The first three swords in the entire Seven Shadows will always have a way to master them as long as they continue to practice and put in enough sweat and effort.
But the fourth fluctuation is different, there is no talent for real speed sword skills, no matter how many times a day you swing the sword, how long you insist on training, you can't reach the realm of the unity of the sword.
Whether or not they can master the fourth wave is the dividing line between ordinary people and Sword Saint Miaozi, and those who comprehend the fourth fluctuation can basically master the three swords behind the Seven Shadows, and finally begin to cultivate the higher-level Aurora Sword.
"Are you alright, Briditt. Ulysses had been following Briditt, but it had taken him a little time to cut through the dark canopy, or he could have saved her sooner.
Thankfully, he didn't come too late and didn't really hurt Briditt.
"Well, it's just that the power is a little overwhelmed, Ulysses, be careful, they're not human, they're dark gods. Briditt, who was immortal, felt that her feet were weak, and she really tried her best to prevent the dragon slaying knife.
However, it still failed, and if it wasn't for the last Ulysses sword to save her, she would have been cut in two by that terrible knife.
This is the difference in strength, and the legend that the sisters said that the more complex the posture incarnated by this dark spirit, the more terrifying it turns out to be true. The power of this pair of swords has far exceeded the level she can fight.
"Dark gods?" Ulysses hadn't heard of anything like this, and he didn't look like a wild monster, but if he had to say anything like it—it was a Noble Phantasm, and a powerful Noble Phantasm.
"They are the by-product of the failure of the Great Rebirth of the next generation, the evil spirit that wants to take the body of the Son of God, from the shadow of the dark evil spirit. Bridit told Ulysses the true face of the pair of swords across from him.
Dark Spirits - These are special monsters that only exist in the southern tribal regions, and their essence is actually human, humans who have failed to reincarnate in the next generation.
Not every intergenerational reincarnation will be successful, because for some unpredictable reasons, the success rate of intergenerational reincarnation is only about 50%, and many times the power of the deceased cannot be revived in the Son of God, resulting in the failure of intergenerational rebirth.
However, the power of the deceased who comes back will not disappear so simply, and some of them will naturally disperse and return to heaven and earth, waiting for the arrival of the next great rebirth of the next generation.
However, some of them are particularly powerful, and the deceased who have a crazy attachment to the present world will use another method to resurrect - that is, to merge with the treasure they use.
The resurrected dead who were resurrected in this way were incomplete, and their strength and personality were indeed preserved to the greatest extent after being fused with the Noble Phantasm stained with countless blood, which can also be seen as another way of resurrection.
However, they are not able to have bodies because they are still dead and have not completed the mutilated dead of the Great Rebirth of the next generation. Even if they have their original treasures as their bodies, they are just evil spirits wandering the land.
They don't even remember their own names, and will instinctively take the name of the Treasure as their own, leaving only some fragments of incomplete memories of being humans, which is also the price that must be paid for the fusion of the Treasure.
As a result, they have a madness about having a body that ordinary people can't imagine. However, they who have fused with their own Noble Phantasm cannot use other methods to obtain their bodies, as their souls have already been fused into their own Noble Phantasm.
Only their own Noble Phantasm, the Noble Phantasm that is consistent with their soul fluctuations, can contain their soul fragments, so that their consciousness will not disappear into heaven and earth.
If they want to obtain a body, there is only one way, and that is to take the body of the Son of God, and the soul state of the Son of God, who has not completed the great rebirth of the next generation, is in a precarious state, and it is the only body they can hope to obtain.
Only by gaining a body can they regain what they lack, and they are no longer the evil spirits wandering the earth in a daze.
However, this also means that they want to kill the Son of God, unlike the blessed Great Reincarnation of the Next Generation, there is only one way for the dead who have broken the rules to stay in this world after the failure of the Great Reincarnation of the Next Generation to obtain the body - that is, to completely erase the consciousness of the Son of God, and the success rate is not even one percent.
But even if this chance is less than one percent, it is worth it for this group of evil spirits who can do anything to obtain a body. Therefore, every time the Son of God appears, this kind of dark deity will definitely appear, and it can be said that they are the natural enemies of all the Sons of God, and they are also one of the most intractable enemies of the Southern Church.
These dark spirits who have lost their bodies and inhabit their treasures can do anything. In order to get a chance to be resurrected, they will do whatever it takes to seize the Son of God, so every time the Son of God appears, the Southern Church will send a witch to guard them, in order to stop these dark gods from sinning.
Most of the time, the Dark Spirits are asleep in order to preserve their power, and they only begin to appear when the Children of God appear. Every intergenerational reincarnation is also a battlefield where shrine maidens fight these dead.
Without a body and a complete memory, most of these dark gods have become cruel and ruthless, never mind killing people in order to take the body of the son of the god, and there has been more than one god witch in history who died at their hands.
For the gods and witches, finding a way to kill these evil spirits wandering in the southern land is one of their greatest missions. They are not simply ghosts awakened by resentment, any of them are ghost kings, peerless powerhouses of the past.
They are free to drive ordinary evil spirits and make them fight for it. In the war three hundred years ago, these dark gods gathered together to form an army of evil spirits that was unknown to the people of the north, but caused the fall of the most gods and witches in history.
Boys and girls who are loved by God are called children of God, and they who have voluntarily abandoned God's blessing and are resurrected in such a mutilated state are called dark gods.
The power of the Son of God is revered, and the Son of God who has completed the Great Rebirth of the next generation can inherit all the glory.
The power of the dark gods is feared, they are cruel and ruthless, because they have long lost the bodies and memories that can generate feelings. In order to obtain a body, they always chase the son of God, trying to obtain a new body.
Fighting against these dark gods and ensuring the normal progress of the Great Rebirth of the Next Generation is one of the greatest missions of the gods and witches of the Southern Church.
Since many of these dark gods were once heroes of the southern lands in the past, the battle with them has always been difficult. Luckily, they don't like to move except for the time when the Sons of God were born, so they haven't done much harm so far—except for the time when they were collectively manipulated by the Necromantic Monarch three hundred years ago, which was a nightmare for the entire Southern Lands.
"I see. Knowing the true face of the other party, Ulysses was a little more relaxed, after all, this was the type he had never fought before.
"Change me, I want to see how far this young man's Aurora Sword has cultivated. The blue rune sword took the initiative to fly to the side of the purple broad-bladed sword, emitting an icy sword light.
Having lost their bodies, they can only exist in this way, but this does not mean that they have really lost all their feelings. It is precisely because it is incomplete, so they will be particularly persistent in some things before their death, and what remains in their memory fragments is this kind of memory that can never be forgotten.
For example, the fanaticism for swordsmanship, for example, the penchant for cutting off the enemy in two with a single sword, these are all characteristics that belong to them, and they are engraved in the deepest memories of the soul.
In addition to the "full resurrection", the highest wish held by all the dark gods, these most unforgettable memories belonging to their souls are their greatest treasures and determine their behavior.
"Well, I don't like to fight the heirs of the Aurora Sword, it's torture. "The Dragon Slayer has an unforgettable and tragic memory of this.
He is the most powerful and can slay the dragon with one sword, but what he is most afraid of is this kind of enemy who is so fast that his eyes can't catch up. The dragon's body is the size of a dragon, even if you close your eyes and slash down with all your might. The power of the Dragon Slayer Knife is enough to chop ordinary dragon scales, but if you encounter an opponent who has comprehended the Aurora Sword, then it is purely a dream to slash the opponent with that sword.
And he, never used three knives in battle. It's not because he's invincible, but his combat power is all concentrated on the first, second, and third swords. If this can slay the dragon with three swords and can't defeat the opponent, then he is the one who is waiting to die.
In fact, in the few memories he has left, the battle in which he died was met by an assassin who was good at stealth and stealth, and after skillfully dodging his three stabs, he killed him with a backstab in the back.
And against his brother, the founder of the Aurora Sword, he didn't even win once, to be precise, he didn't even have a record of encountering the other party.
His attacks are too power-oriented, and although he is fast, he is not at the same level as the Aurora Sword, which claims to be able to catch up with the beautiful Aurora.
"Young man, where did you learn the Aurora Sword? "Time doesn't mean much to people who have long since died. Now that he had forgotten his name, he was left with his treasure "Aurora Sword" as his real name, and the magic sword asked Ulysses.
"Aurora Sword? What is that?" Ulysses really didn't know about this sword technique, which could be called a divine skill, and all the sword skills he knew were all learned in bits and pieces, almost everything.
The Aurora Sword lightly flashed a light shadow, and then instantly pierced through a wall about three meters away from Ulysses.
The sparkling streamer, the flickering and flickering light and shadow, was faster and more beautiful than what Ulysses had just used, like a brilliant aurora.
"Fourth fluctuation?" Ulysses vaguely felt the terrifyingness of that sword light, which was a perfect interpretation of the unity of body and sword at a level far above him in terms of sword skills.
"That's right, the fourth fluctuation is also the initial aura fluctuation, a move to completely fuse your body with the sword light. The Aurora Sword stopped in the air, revealing an elegant and powerful sword light.
Briditt in Ulysses' arms clenched the yo-yo in her hand tightly, almost unable to breathe.
Quick, too fast, she didn't see the moment Ulysses saved her, but she could see the "fourth wave" this time. If it was this magic sword that was shot just now, I am afraid that Little Bear would not have a chance to protect her at all, and her head would fly in that flash of light.
It was the ultimate in speed, and even though the dragon-slaying knife just now was also fast, it was still a little faster than she could react. And the speed of this trick "Fourth Fluctuation" was so fast that she didn't even have time to react.
She was already quite outstanding among the seventh-level powerhouses, and she couldn't react, and all creatures below the seventh-level were afraid that they would not even have enough time to blink an eye and be taken by this sword light, as if the light had taken their lives.
"This is the original sword of the Aurora Sword, and it is also the most important sword, since you have comprehended the fourth wave, then you can also be regarded as one of my disciples. You can now take this little witch and walk away, and this son of God will be handed over to us. Contrary to Briditt's imagination, it seems that because of the fourth wave of Ulysses, the dark deity whose real name is "Aurora Sword" does not feel so aggressive.
The old brother's old mistake has been committed again, he must have wanted to wait for this young man to grow up and then be his opponent, and he will not change if he dies on this once-the dragon slayer looked at his brother who was obviously planning to release him, and some vague fragments of his memory floated.
His elder brother is a true peerless genius who is ten times better and ten times more powerful than him. You can learn swords at the age of three, at the age of thirteen, you can go beyond the boundaries of your body and enter the seventh-level realm, and at the age of thirty, you will become a seventh-level powerhouse and begin to look for your own "door".
Eventually, he found it, but he didn't have time to advance to that realm. When he was about to truly grasp the "Aurora", he died on another genius he had deliberately spared.
Before he died, he had countless opportunities to kill that genius, but he let him go again and again. Until finally dying under that man's sword, everything became a stepping stone for that genius.
Losers are always easily forgotten, and his brother didn't end up opening that door into the world he had pursued all his life.
Now, he seems to be making the same mistakes as before. As a younger brother, he always didn't understand what his brother was thinking, and he didn't need to think so much, his personality was not suitable for such complex thinking.
Brother is always right, just knowing this is enough.
But, here comes this trick again, what do you think, brother?
"I'm sorry, I can't let you take the Son of God away this time. After witnessing the incredible speed of the Aurora Sword, Ulysses still didn't give up.
He couldn't give up because now any son of God could be his hope. After losing a bluestone, he could not afford to lose his last hope.
"In this way, you have the confidence to take my Aurora Sword, just by virtue of the fourth wave that you have just started. Aurora Sword was a little surprised, could it be that this young man who had learned his own swordsmanship still had any hole cards.
"I may be just getting started with the fourth wave, but I'll be more than that. Ulysses slowly lifted the abyss to judge the crime, and a steady aura like a mountain naturally emanated from him.
"Sword of Guardianship?" Aurora Sword looked excitedly at Ulysses' pose at the moment.
In the center of the sword, you are the king of the mountains, stepping on the earth, you are the lord of the earth, the heart and the sword are together, undefeated in a hundred battles, this is a legendary sword skill that the Aurora Sword has never fought against.
If the Aurora Sword represents the ultimate of light and shadow, then this sword skill represents the ultimate of defense, and it is a stunt that only a swordsman with a protective heart can comprehend.
Without the need for more words, seeing another legendary-level sword technique that he had never had the opportunity to encounter in his life, the Aurora Sword automatically entered the highest state of excitement.
For him, who has been obsessed with swordsmanship all his life, and even postponed his own entry to the "door" in order to wait for an opponent, he will never get tired of this kind of moment many times again.
New sword skills, new legends, even the current incomplete and ugly posture could not stop his burning soul.
(To be continued)
