Chapter 256 - Teaching Disciples, Instant Kill
Just as Vincent was speaking to Ebenezer, the Rockman stood up with a shocked expression and shouted, "Wait!"
Vincent glanced sideways at the Rockman and asked indifferently, "What do you want?"
The Rockman swallowed his saliva nervously and said, "Boss Fire Asura, this is a match between me and him, and it"s a life and death duel! Please don"t interfere!"
If it was just against Ebenezer, the Rockman was confident that he could defeat him as he had more than a dozen methods up his sleeves. However, if Fire Asura wanted to interfere, he would definitely die!
Therefore, the Rockman would rather offend Fire Asura to earn a chance for himself!
After hearing what he said, Vincent suddenly smiled and asked coldly, "Oh? Are you threatening me, or warning me?"
Vincent was initially worried about Ebenezer"s survival. He did not expect that this Rockman would take the initiative to provoke him. It gave him the perfect excuse to make a move!
Ebenezer took the initiative to beg Vincent. He said, "Lord Fire Asura, please do not make a move. This is a battle between me and him. If I can win this battle, I will definitely follow you and accept your guidance!"
After hearing this, Vincent could only shake his head helplessly. He waved his hand casually and said, "Alright, as you wis.h.!.+"
After receiving Vincent"s permission, a hint of excitement flashed in Ebenezer"s eyes. His shoulders swayed, and his entire aura was firm. He turned his head to stare at the Rockman that was not far away. He raised his hands that were as sharp as knives and waited for an opportunity to attack.
When the Rockman realized that Vincent would not interfere, he suddenly became arrogant. He turned his head and shouted at Ebenezer, "Tras.h.!.+ If it wasn"t for Boss Fire Asura"s help earlier, you would have already died! Now, you actually dare to fight against me. I"m afraid you don"t know how to write the word "death"!"
After seeing the battle restarting, the entire audience sighed.
"Why do I hear a hint of helplessness and sorrow from the Rockman"s curses?"
"Of course, even if he wins today"s match, he has completely offended the Fire Asura. What"s the difference between that and death?"
"How tragic! He"s clearly still alive, but he already knows that he"s dead!"
As the audience sighed, the Rockman turned his tragic fate into hatred towards Ebenezer.
The Rockman pointed at Ebenezer and cursed loudly, "Come on! Come and kill me! Let"s see if your attacks can break through my defense. Just watch how I"ll catch and kill you!"
He knew that his advantage was his defensive ability, while his disadvantage was his speed.
The Rockman"s disadvantage would be magnified infinitely especially when facing the Shadow Demon Race, which specialized in speed and concealment.
Thus, no matter how much the Rockman hated Ebenezer, he had to think of a way to make the other party attack him first.
However, Ebenezer was the perfect a.s.sa.s.sin. Before he figured out his opponent"s exact weakness, he would not make the first move no matter how much the other party cursed and provoked him. He stood motionless on the spot.
Just like that, a battle that should have made people"s blood boil became extremely boring.
The murderous Rockman did not attack. Instead, he just stood on the spot in a defensive stance and cursed at Ebenezer.
Ebenezer, who was full of fighting spirit, was as calm as a rock. He stood in the distance and stared at the Rockman, not saying a word in response.
When most of the audience members were yawning, Vincent finally could not stand it anymore. He pointed at Ebenezer and shouted, "What are you two waiting for? Can you stare at each other to death with your eyes? Hurry up and make your move!"
Ebenezer"s pitch-black and illusory face seemed to be slightly red as he continued to stare at the Rockman. He said awkwardly, "Lord Fire Asura, you may not know this, but our Shadow Demon Race specializes in a.s.sa.s.sinations. If the other party keeps staring at me, it will be very difficult for me to find a suitable opportunity to strike!"
Vincent shook his head helplessly. His battle experience could be said to be far greater than all the partic.i.p.ants in the arena. He felt that Ebenezer"s words were funny.
Vincent, who had been waiting impatiently opened his mouth and said, "a.s.sa.s.sination is not hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity to a.s.sa.s.sinate! Instead, it is to seize an extremely small opportunity and carry out the most powerful finis.h.i.+ng blow! If there is no chance, then go and create an opportunity! You can"t just stand there. You will always be in the opponent"s sight. What kind of a.s.sa.s.sination is that?"
When Ebenezer heard Vincent"s reminder, his vision became much clearer. It was as if he had understood something. He no longer waited where he was and quickly rushed towards the Rockman.
"He"s here!"
The Rockman felt a surge of excitement in his heart. He was prepared to find an opportunity to give the opponent a fatal counterattack.
"Shadow Possession!" shouted Ebenezer.
He then turned into a black shadow and flew towards the Rockman.
The Rockman stretched out his hands excitedly to grab the black shadow. However, he discovered that both of his hands were empty. He only grabbed a ball of air, and the black shadow had already landed on his body.
Shadow Possession was a common ability of the Shadow Demon Race. The Shadow Demon could turn into a shadow and attach itself to the target"s body, but it could not be maintained for long. It could only last for a few seconds.
However, under Vincent"s guidance, Ebenezer believed that he only needed a few seconds to be able to lure his opponent into revealing quite a big flaw!
Just as the Rockman was in a daze, Ebenezer"s body suddenly exited from behind him. He then swung his arm towards the Rockman"s neck.
"Crack!"
A wave of rock fragments flew out. Rocks scattered everywhere, but the Rockman did not receive any fatal injuries.
Just as the Rockman regained his senses, he turned to look at Ebenezer. However, Ebenezer had already turned around and had stretched out his arm from a different direction. He once again slashed towards the Rockman"s neck.
"Thousand Shadow Slashes!"
Ebenezer"s arm, which had transformed into a sharp blade, was instantly enveloped by a pitch-black light as it brushed past the Rockman"s neck. At the same time, a phantom image appeared on his elbow. In an instant, he had swung his blade a thousand times!
"Ah!"
The Rockman let out a blood-curdling scream as he covered his neck using his hands. He walked forward and fell to the ground weakly.
Although his defense was strong, when the Rockman received the attack, the rocks on the surface of his body shattered and revealed the core of his body. He was unable to recover in a short period of time. Therefore, Ebenezer took the opportunity to attack him a second time.
Ebenezer looked at the Rockman who had fallen to the ground. He turned to look at Vincent and said excitedly, "I"ve won! Lord Fire Asura, I"ve succeeded!"
Vincent nodded and said with a smile, "Well, you"re a good student!"
