Chapter 288: One Side

In the ruins of the ancient temple, the sound of gold and iron echoed constantly, and the fierce wind swept by the blades tore the already dilapidated buildings to shreds.

Powerful slashes and spells wreaked wildly in the small temple atrium, leaving the stone floor as fragile as mud. The crooked stone pillars and tattered ornaments around them had been torn apart by heavy pieces of metal a short time after the battle began.

The stone pillars that once held a few sorcerers had now crumbled, crumbling massive stones crashing into the ruins on the other side, sweeping away the pillars that barely had any remnants of their former order. The accumulated magic was completely unleashed, and the blood-smeared scarlet stained the entire ruins.

With the scarlet streamer, the three figures jumped back and forth above the rubble-strewn ruins, continuing a battle to the death, but the tide of the battle seemed to be somewhat one-sided. The man holding the giant sword was one against two, but he did not fall behind at all, but suppressed the other party with his fierce sword skills.

More than half of the destruction around him was caused by him, and the exaggerated greatsword was like a city-breaking ram, crushing everything it touched. Whether it was a stone pillar or metal, even the oncoming spells were swept into ashes with an easy blow.

The sloping roof was caught up in the fighting between the two sides, and in an instant it was shattered to pieces by the collapse of the pillars that served as support points. A metal device propped up on top rolled to the ground and slammed into the rubble-strewn ruins, and suddenly the sound of chaotic metal resounded all around.

This is not at all like a strange power that humans can have, and the giant sword that is far beyond the scope of ordinary human use is as light as a child's toy in his hand. The incredible speed of the swing almost pushes the limits of vision, weaving together a storm that only brings death.

Some people may think that the large size makes people sluggish. However, they often ignore that humans must rely on muscles as the basis for movement. A body that receives a high degree of training has a greater power output, when certain sexist that break through the "limit" are functioning. Then he will become a monster.

The mere existence of zài is already a disaster, and the monsters called "natural disaster designation" are like nature, and they don't care about the joys and sorrows of human beings. That's why. Man-made "calamities" are more dangerous than them, and they will bring about ruin by their own will.

He was covered in a dark mist, and most of what he had thought was a black waterproof jacket had been eroded by the darkness of the activity. Not only his body, but also the giant sword was coated with a layer of pitch-black "water vapor", exuding a breathless sense of oppression.

"Human beings are only human beings after all, so human beings have limits. ”

Lizzie's voice echoed in Curt's mind, and she dodged her own attack and then distanced herself: "If a person wants to become stronger, the easiest way is to exercise and study, but no matter how hard they try, they still can't break through their innate limits. ”

Precisely because of this. There are countless people who will put everything into it in order to break through that limit - and the man in front of him seems to be one of them.

Towering cylindrical stone towers envelop the heavy walls of the temple, and all the statues of the former gods have been destroyed by the men themselves. These things were nothing more than soft clay in front of the greatsword in his hand, disintegrating into dust in the pitch-black mist on the blade.

Curt could only step back quickly, carefully avoiding the slash that came at him. It's not that he doesn't want to attack, but the other party's body seems to form a space that is difficult to invade about two meters around, and as long as he dares to take a step beyond the thunder pool, he will be overwhelmed by the expanding darkness.

"What are you kidding, this guy is human? If it were a normal person, his body would have collapsed due to the reaction force!" Curt propped up a broken wooden stick in front of him, using magic to strengthen the skeleton inside, "Or can those black things not only strengthen his body's ability to recover?" Will he still have the power of a monster?"

It was as if he was in a storm circle, not to mention the front and back, left and right, even the sky and the earth were blurred in the stormy wind of blades. In order to dodge the opponent's slash aimed at the vital point. Curt had to watch the blade swing with all his might, finding the void hidden within.

His palms were still tingling slightly. Before the opponent's slash was about to cut him in two, the wooden stick infused with magic power hit the spine of the sword lightly. With a crisp metallic sound. The big sword was forcibly picked up by Curt, but the power that followed it also forced him back a few steps.

This is not the strength that humans should have, as if they had taken a bison running at full speed. Curt had tried his best to unload the force of the slash, but he still felt a dull pain in his palm, and if he was hit directly, he might not even feel the pain.

"How do I know, until now I haven't had a chance to analyze what those black things are. ”

The girl's voice looked helpless, this time she really made a mistake: "The only thing that is clear is that they are dangerous, but if they can be controlled in some way, they will be able to exert extremely powerful power - even if it is impossible to break through the limits of the human body." ”

Lizzie had already hid on the other side of the cloister at this time, and kept throwing simple spells to stop the man's attack. She had planned to organize multiple Rubik's cubes to create an array of shelling, but the complex structure of the magic was too complex to keep it in place in the howling wind.

Her spells didn't work as expected, and the target looked as if they had read all of her attacks. Even if the key point has been aimed beforehand, the magic projectile will be inexplicably deflected, pointing in a direction that has nothing.

Perhaps it was the effect of those black mist, and the magic around his body was completely distorted, and whether it was air or moisture, it all took on a chaotic appearance. Lizzie's interference seemed to him to be nothing more than a nuisance of mosquitoes and flies, and he didn't need to devote extra energy to deal with it.

"It's really difficult. ”

Since the start of the war, he and Liqi have almost been unilaterally suppressed by the other party, which made Curt grit his teeth slightly. This man was stronger than all the humans he had ever seen before, not only the power he possessed, but also his experience that those people could match.

Strength and technique maintain a high degree of unity within his body, and the exaggerated greatsword is like an extension of his body, which he wields as he pleases. Not only now, Curt had a feeling that this man's abilities were more than that, and he had not yet liberated all his strength.

The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, although this behavior seems to be bullying the small, but if you take the weak enemy lightly because of your own strength, you may be put in an unexpected place. And this man, he is obviously not the type who will show mercy because of pure arrogance.

Indeed, it was not a fair "duel", because for Curt they had a little more unfavorable conditions. He had no blades in his hands, no rudimentary trench coat, and no defense—the man, by contrast, had gained indescribable power through something.

It may be that he has some kind of temptation, or he wants to try to be as "fair" as possible, and this man has reservations about his strength. If neither is the case, then the most reasonable explanation is that he has no way to control all the power in his body.

This may be the best opportunity to attack, and when the opponent's actions are flawed, you can break through in one breath and maybe get a chance to win.

Seeing that the opponent immediately raised the giant sword in the upper section after retracting a horizontal slash, Curt immediately changed his backward posture and took a small step diagonally forward. In an instant, the raised greatsword slashed down with lightning speed, leaving a deep scar on the ground at his side.

He had expected Curt to continue to retreat to the rear, so he wrapped a large amount of darkness around the blade. When the greatsword in his hand was swung, the overflowing darkness rushed forward like the breath of a salamander, sweeping away the debris in front of him.

But his goal wasn't there.

Curt, who rushed diagonally forward, avoided the black wave that erupted from the blade, and instead took advantage of the gap before the man had time to change his moves, and burst into the inner circle. He quickened his pace and continued to rush forward, the wooden stick infused with a large amount of magic power in his hand pointed at the opponent's heart like a sword.

It's a pity that what awaits him is an iron fist-

Curt didn't see the man's movements at all, and when he came back to his senses, he could only see a fist growing larger and larger in his line of sight. The fist, wrapped in darkness, tore through the air and flew out like a hammer, finally hitting Curt in the chest.

The forward posture suddenly froze, and Curt felt as if he had been hit head-on by a battering ram, not only where he was hit, but the bones of his whole body let out a wail at the same moment. Curt bit his lip, he knew he had to move, because the man had already picked up the greatsword and slashed at him again, and if he couldn't dodge before the other could swing his weapon, he would be cut in two.

In a flash of lightning, the glow of the accumulated magic power turned into several arrows, which curved in the air and then hit the man's foothold. Although Liqi's spell support was half a step late, it still cut through the barrier of the dark organization, causing the other party to stop for a moment.

But the moment the ground was destroyed by the spell, the other party had calmly pierced through the aftermath of the spread, and at the same time rushed towards Liqi at an extremely fast speed. Behind him, the shattered ground left huge cracks, and the charred building materials shattered into endless residues and slowly fell.

The space seemed to distort in front of him, and the distance of more than ten steps was reduced to nothing in an instant, and the bottom-up blow was already aimed at Lizzie. He moved so fast that the girl didn't have time to move, and could only watch as the cold metal slashed down her throat.

It was too late, and just before his blow was about to sweep at Lizzie, Curt pounced on the girl from the side, carrying her and rushing into the darkness outside the temple. (To be continued......)
