The energy cannon and cards surrounding Gwen vanished as they entered the veil of water surrounding her with a plop, what replaced those were four mechanical rifles, two of them on each of her side with their muzzle pointed at Nightin.
"Young fella, you should be glad that you"re able to make me use my second stage of my seven Astrals, but it"s a pity that you won"t go any further than this." Gwen mocked as energy started to gather as magazine for her rifles which were ready to fire their enemy down.
"Why don"t you try me?" Nightin arrogance didn"t allow him to give in just because his opponent was stronger, it"ll become the fuel to pump him up as he converts the fear into courage.
Nightin dashed forwards without any fear, his sword was what gave him strength even when he was just a lowly mortal, he would still be more than willing to place his life on the line, just to trust it. Trust them.
I"m no longer the brat who was once pampered by my family, neither am I the sect master of the Nirvana sect anymore, I"ll only live for myself until the day, to bring Charlotte together with me. Nightin made a vow deep within his heart, oblivious to the unknown truth that he has already lost himself amidst the chaos of this world.
"Are you courting death?" Gwen questioned as a slight tinge of worry formed on her face, but it was soon replaced with resolution as she thought to herself, maybe this is the best way to nurture new blood.
Two of the upper energy rifles fully charged up its ammo as two laser beams shot towards Nightin, Gwen had actually turned serious against Nightin.
"Gwen, are you out of your mind?" Orochi yelled at her as a wisp of flame gathered on his palm.
"I"m totally sober, if this young fella truly has what it takes as you mentioned, then this should be the very least he must handle." Gwen answered coldly, a cold burst of water shooting out from her lower rifle as they cooled off the flame.
Gwen wasn"t sure if Nightin truly had the ability to block off an attack from her second Astral plane, but if any mishap were to happen to Nightin because of her rash decisions, she would have no choice but to beg him while paying a hefty price to save him.
Come on brat, you can do this. Gwen was rooting for Nightin from the bottom of her heart as the laser beams made their way towards Nightin.
Nightin dashed forwards as he raised his sword and blocked off the first collision from the laser beam, the flames spiralling around his sword left it as they took on the form of a Phoenix and destroyed the laser beam, in exchange of its short lifetime.
Looking at the second laser beam das.h.i.+ng towards me, I felt a strong sense of uselessness and was at a lost for what to do. Even after I managed to control the flames of the Phoenix at a much higher level, my spirit energy was still about sixty percent depleted.
All I can blame was myself for being weak, me being nothing but a mortal to begin with would stay the harsh reality no matter how much I change it, no matter how much I try to change and even with the system"s a.s.sistance, reality still hurts.
Yet why was that one strand of will within me unwilling to just let go of the ties of this world? Circulating all the remaining spirit energy within my body, I made a final effort to slash forward while infusing the law of Samsara into that attack.
If just being able to understand the cycles of reincarnation isn"t enough, then I"ll control the cycles of reincarnation and choose my next ident.i.ty in my future life, but that still wouldn"t suffice as I will lose everything I possess now.
Merging the soul of someone who is bound to step into the Overlord realm into this attack of mine, its attack power increased tremendously as it tore through the laser beam without any signs of stopping.
This sudden change caught Gwen off guard as she formed the projection of a s.h.i.+eld in front of her while leaping backwards and firing again, but with all four rifles this time.
Boom
Explosions took place after one another, yet a portion of the attack still remained as Gwen asked herself, just how far can he go?
"Third form of the seven Astrals, Star plane!"
The projected rifles vanished as they took on the form of twenty eight stars surrounding Gwen.
"Star force, star merge, star storm!"
With a quick series of combinations, Gwen connected the stars together ad they formed a storm of stars that resembled a tornado as it blocked off the attack, but that resulted in her losing two of the stars as well.
"Alright, the battle is over!" Orochi announced hurriedly right when the battle ended as he stepped into the middle of their battle.
Gwen kept her stars and asked Orochi while still keeping her gaze on Nightin who had collapsed on the ground "Do you think that we should get that man to become his mentor? His sword moves aren"t flexible enough and he"s too weak to even make use of them right now."
Orochi sighed as he took out a manual from the jade snake body and answered "It shouldn"t be too difficult for him to cultivate a G.o.d rank movement technique with his wisdom."
Gwen eyes opened to the max as she asked in surprise, the excitement in her eyes couldn"t be hidden as she asked "You plan on teaching him a martial technique just below the Immortal tier?"
Orochi broke out in a chuckle, the jade snake coiled around his hand actually opened its eyes in fear for the first time, the turned its head towards its master as it stuck out its little tongue and hissed at him in protest.
But when Gwen scanned inside Nightin"s body, she looked at Orochi in shock and commented "His injuries are just far too serious."
