Chapter 2513 Might And Sneak
CLANNG!
The dark red crystalline head of his ax clashed against my sword, and I shook; my whole body shook from head to toe as deep shock appeared in my eyes.
I had expected his energy would be strong and strange but did not expect this strange and strange. It seemed to be crus.h.i.+ng as a mountain while having an evasiveness of star eal.
It had pa.s.sed through several of my defense without alerting them, which is quite unbelievable, seeing how comprehensive they are.
They are designed to defend against all types of energies, but these energies were able to invade several layers of defenses before being finally stopped.
He did not wait, even for a fraction of a second after the attack; he immediately took his sword back and attacked me again.
CLANNG!
Once again, his ax clashed against mine with even greater power, but this time, there was no shaking in my body. Though I have still got surprised to see his strange energy was strange energy pa.s.sed through multiple layers of my defense, despite my preparation for it.
His strange energy is really amazing, the defenses are not easily breached, especially after I prepared for them, but they still did.
CLANNG CLANNG CLANNG!
Leonard is not one to stop; after two attacks, he continued without stopping, trying to break my weakness, but I would always stop his ax, though not his energy.
His energy continued to breach the layers with each attack, but the layers it could breach lessened with each attack as I began to understand the energy better and better. Still, I had to defend against nearly a hundred attacks of his before I could stop this strange energy from breaching the defenses.
His enemies are going to curse him a lot, while I am able to adapt my defenses to its strange energy; not everyone has that much freedom.
They would explode by this mighty sneaky energy before they could do anything against it. I couldn"t but feel the antic.i.p.ation for that, and, most importantly, the fight was not over. This is not Leonard"s full strength; there is still quite more; he is hiding.
Suddenly a smile appeared on my face and seeing that, an alarm couldn"t help but grow in Leonard"s eyes. He increased his strength to defend against what was coming but unfortunately, it was not going to be enough.
My sword, which was halfway to reaching him, suddenly increased its speed, and the aura of power around it grew denser.
CLANNG!
It appeared beside its ax in an instant and struck against it in most casual fas.h.i.+on, showing, if I wanted to, I could have easily avoided his ax and went for his neck.
Step Step Step
His body shook as our weapons clashed before he began to take the steps back; he was only able to stabilize when he took more than ten steps and looked at me in surprise.
"Your energy is amazing, but the strength behind it is lacking to do anything against me," I said with a smile, which was filled with the dare.
"Mammoth Charge!"
He said, and the powerful aura erupted from his body; this is his real move, the move from his art which is aided by the power of his Inheritance.
I know this move better than even Leonard knows it; I have studied it in great detail. As most powerful moves of Leonard come from the art, and the power of Inheritance would supplement it, making them even more powerful.
These moves are now going to be even more powerful, as Inheritance energy is also had the power of art energy; being nearly similar, they aid each other and increse in power explonenently.
The faint phantom of the mammoth appeared around Leonard as he came at me with great speed and appeared beside me in an instant before coming down on me with his ax.
Roar!
At the same time, the mammoth phantom enveloping him looked like it was attacking me with its huge tusk while letting out a soul-breaking roar.
Seeing the attack, a big bright smile appeared on my face as I moved my sword. This time, I am not in any mood for pa.s.sive defense. I want to see how powerful the attack fusion of Inheritance and art is, and especially what this fused energy could do.
CLANNNG!
My sword clashed against its ax, and the next moment, the smile on my face became even bigger.
The merged attack was more powerful than I had thought; the might and evasiveness of the energy were also amplified by many times, breaching many more layers than what the energy did in the first attack.
Step!
His attack was strong; mine was stronger; it shook him again and forced him to take a step back, and while he was doing that, I attacked him again with an even more powerful attack.
"Mammoths Clas.h.!.+"
He shouted; he responded immediately as an even more powerful aura burst out of his body as his ax moved towards me.
CLANNNG CLANNNG CLANNNG!
Our attacks clashed again, and this time too, I had forced him to take a step back, but Leonard had once again shown his great experience and skills and reacted immensely with an even more powerful attack.
His years of service in the pyramid had given him the experience which helped him polish his skills to a very high level.
He did not look like he had advanced just a few minutes ago; he is doing that even better than Sarah. While Sarah had born with great talent and zeal, Leonard only had his experience and skills, which he earned after fighting thousands of dangerous battles,
Far more than Sarah.
A few minutes pa.s.sed, and I pressed him harder and harder, forcing him to reveal every move, bring out every ounce of his energy, till only one move of his remained, the most powerful one.
"BURST!"
Leonard shouted, and a truly horrifying aura burst out of him; his armor also changed a little while the clearest phantom of mammoth appeared behind him as he activated his const.i.tution ability which now had merged with art and aided by the power of Inheritance.
He took a step and directly appeared in front of me; before I could realize what was happening, his ax was already halfway toward me.
The power had greatly surprised me but also excited me; I stopped holding back and harnessed all the power of my boosts and swung my sword at me with a huge smile on my face.
CLANNNNG!
My sword moved with a speed that I was barely able to track and clashed against Leonard"s ax, creating a shockwave that would have heavily injured even Grandmasters if they were present in this hall.
CLANNNNG CLANNNNG CLANNNNG!
The attack had shaken us and nearly forced us to take a step back, but we stabilized ourselves and attacked each other again.
The burst had really amplified the power of the attack; the energy has really come close to breaching my defenses. The burst brought a very concentrated power; if it had breached my defenses, it would have definitely heavily injured me.
It did not, and I will not let it happen.
