Chapter Forty-Nine: No More Than Three
"W-That?!"
Under Arthas's astonished gaze, the reddish fire elemental began to gather on Edward's wooden sword.
"Demon Swordsman! It turns out that the rumor is true, there are really students who try to cultivate demon martial arts, but I didn't expect it to be you! greedy guy......
"Greedy? Okay, I don't think so. ”
"No one can get the favor of both swords and sorcery, you should know it well, or do you knowingly? John is right, you're a big boy who doesn't know the height of the sky. ”
"Haha, why do I sound so sour about this? Could it be that you also tried to cultivate the Demon and Martial Arts, but failed, so you deliberately sarcastically mocked me and wanted me to give up too? ”
"......" Arthas squinted his eyes and remained silent.
"You better keep watching your clouds, I'll play with them. ”
"I can't help myself. Arthas snorted coldly, turned his back and continued to look at the sky.
Edward was right, he had tried, and failed. During that time, he tried to balance swordsmanship and magic at the same time, but in the end he achieved nothing, and in the end, he was not proficient in swordsmanship, and his magic was a mess.
In Edward's body, Arthas seemed to see his own shadow. However, the silver-haired boy who behaved perversely was more arrogant and proud than he was.
Alsace was very unhappy.
"Ready, here, here!" Edward said with a grin.
The pale red fire element quickly condensed on the wooden sword, emitting a beautiful red light, and the wooden sword seemed to be wrapped in a red film. He held the sword in his right hand, and the fingers of his left hand caressed the blade, carefully controlling every drop of fire element.
For the Demon King, the so-called "human limit" does not exist at all, he is not a human in the first place.
The Demon King has a unique Demon King body, his ability to control and perceive magical elements is extraordinary, and Edward's swordsmanship is only slightly inferior to Amilia's.
Although there is little memory and power left, there is still room for the remaining skills.
He's been studying the magic swordsman's moves lately. Because there was no precedent and the teachers couldn't teach him anything, he had to figure it out on his own.
Teacher Rem, who taught him swordsmanship, told him that in fact, the magic swordsman's tricks were very simple, and he only needed to fuse a special magic and a special sword move.
It's easy to say, but it's hard to do. Edward always felt that the guy was just perfunctory.
As for Angelina...... Would she really be willing to point her fingers?
Ever since she lived with Emilia, Angelina was so cruel that she never gave him a good look, let alone pointing him in, and she was merciful if she didn't find fault.
Therefore, Edward has always been able to play with himself, and he has never practiced the moves of the Demon Swordsman. Now, he finally caught a good opportunity to practice his moves, how could he easily let it go?
So, he started playing with John.
Merging magic and sword skills?
At present, the only magic that Edward has mastered is the fireball technique given to him by Angelina, and as for the sword moves, he also learned a lot from Emilia, and combined the two indiscriminately, and an original move was born.
"Flame Slash!"
Edward swung his sword violently and slashed down with all his might, and the fire elemental gathered on the blade also boiled. They grew brighter and brighter, instantly turning into a raging flame, swimming back and forth between the blades, accumulating strength and waiting for the final explosion!
John was startled and instinctively raised his knife to block it. However, what he faced was not an ordinary slash, but a flaming slash that fused with magic!
Edward's weapon was a wooden sword, while John's was an iron sword, so Edward didn't dare to use too much force.
The wooden sword bell with the fire element slammed into John's sword, and all the magic power that had been stored up for a long time burst out at this moment, and the scorching flames erupted, burning its enemies mercilessly.
This is Edward's original script.
However, the reality is a different story -
Clang!
John easily blocked Edward's slash, but the expected explosion did not happen, and all the fire elements suddenly lost control at the last moment.
Like a leaky ball, the fiery red magic element turned into a powerless red mist and disappeared into the air.
Although John was a little fatter, he was indeed a true third-level warrior.
He seized the gap in Edward's daze, kicked Edward to the ground, and then beckoned his companions to rush up, ready to beat the reservoir dogs.
"Something is wrong...... Edward muttered to himself in frustration.
Although he was accidentally kicked by John when he was in a daze, with the Demon King Realm there, Edward could still calmly deal with the siege of the five of them.
Soon, he once again jumped sideways from the encirclement, raising the sword in his hand high, and controlling the irascible fire elemental in his left hand.
Again.
"Flame Slash!"
John didn't dare to be careless, so he stopped rushing forward and raised his knife to block.
Will Edward succeed this time?
This time he was even worse.
Before the flames could slash over, the fire elemental exploded halfway. Last time it was a deflated ball, but this time it's a balloon that has been blown up.
Fusion failed. The out-of-control fireball exploded in his hand, shattering him to the ground. This time, without John kicking him, he rolled into the distance in embarrassment, panting and recalling the tragedy that had just happened.
"No......" Edward wiped the ash from his face.
"Hahahaha, it's getting more noisy today, and there's fireworks to watch, it's amazing!" Arthas said loudly, turning his back to Edward.
"Damn...... What the hell am I mistaken?"
If it were someone else, I am afraid that the reason for the failure must be that God did not give humans enough talents, but Edward would not have thought so.
Something must have gone wrong.
"Or was it wrong in the first place?"
Edward suddenly remembered what had happened when he was tested on magic in the Mercury Tribe.
At that time, Angelina gave him a crystal ball and asked him to inject magic into it. The first time, he didn't know how to type, and the crystal ball didn't respond, and the second time, he typed too much and broke the crystal ball.
Not only that, but in the skill test after that, the fireball technique he performed at the beginning also burst inexplicably because of too much magic power.
His magic power is too abundant, and with the Demon King's seal, he can accumulate magic power in his body anytime and anywhere. This directly led to him not having a correct understanding of the amount of his magic power, and he would use too much force if he was not careful.
"That's ...... so"
"What are you talking about, it's too late to beg for mercy now!" John smirked.
Edward's several failures gave him a boost of confidence. This is the end of the boy's ruse, he thought.
He hurriedly beckoned his companions, surrounded Edward once more, and launched an attack on Edward with impunity.
Anyway, his magic is useless, he just runs fast, what are you afraid of?
John was confident!
Edward frowned.
Emilia had told him not to hurt the students of Hogg House.
If he really wanted to kill a few of John's people, a few seconds would be enough. After restoring the twofold Demon King Seal, the ** power that erupted from the Demon King's body alone is not something that ordinary humans can withstand.
However, if Edward wanted to subdue them without harming them, he could only rely on the magic swordsman's tricks.
"One more time...... Flame Slash!"
The same move, the same move, a sword mixed with fire and flames swung again.
John didn't care, and set up an iron knife to meet it.
This time it seems a little different. Edward reduced the infusion of mana, carefully maintaining the fire element in the wooden sword, allowing them to burst out at the last moment.
This time his script finally came in handy.
Although the pale red light is not as dazzling as the last time, it is more stable and condensed.
Clang!
Scorching flames erupted from the blade, easily breaking through John's block. The sword carries the fire, the fire carries the sword, how powerful is the magic unleashed with the sword?
John and his friends must know best.
Edward's sword was not perfect, and there were still some mistakes.
The direction of the Flame Slash was too crooked. The final burst of fire didn't hurt John at all, but passed past his ears and erupted into a tongue of fire, running all the way behind him, past his fellow in a daze, and finally crashing into the ground at Arthas's feet.
There was a thud, as if a meteorite had landed.
The flames were quickly extinguished, and at the same time, the life of the wooden sword came to an end.
The toy wooden sword collided with John's iron knife and broke into two pieces, one falling to the ground and the other burning violently, turning into a lump of black ash in a matter of seconds.
This is the power of the Demon Swordsman.
Feeling the scorching heat at his feet, not only Arthas, but everyone present was dumbfounded.
If John had been slashed in the head by the flames just now, I am afraid that he would have ended up with the same half of the wooden sword, consumed by the merciless flames, and finally turned into lifeless black ashes.
"If you still want to play, please give me another wooden sword. Edward said with a smile as he kicked half of the wooden sword that had fallen to the ground.
In this battle, the winner has been decided.
There was the Demon King Domain, and the five of them didn't want to touch the corner of Edward's clothes at all, and with the flames slashing, they couldn't escape the impact of the flames.
If it wasn't a wooden sword but an iron sword just now, I'm afraid John would have been split in half by Edward and his knife, and his body would have been cremated directly, and there would be no scum left.
"I, I ......"
John tried to say something, but Arthas's loud voice interrupted him.
"Hehe, Teacher Angelina, why do you have time to come to the Wild Bear Tribe to play. Arthas, who was sitting on a hill watching the fight, suddenly walked towards a small child in the distance.
"What are you doing?" a cute little girl in a white dress puffed out her chubby face.
