Louis moved his neck from the left to the right, releasing ear piercing cracking sounds, as he pulled out his two Rapiers. Even he knew that this fight would be a little bit more serious and desperate than the others, if not for anything, but for the fact that these two in front of him were both in the True Essence realm. And he was in the Seventh level of the open Dantian realm, having recently advanced in cultivation, but then again there was still a gap between him and his opponents.The only difference here would be the fact that Louis has hard access to better training resources than they have. He might not have had a chance to get into the dragon blood qi pool like Yun Fao and Alex, but their time in the Infernal prison Dimension training under a waterfall was not wasted, not to mention the limited access to study and practice the Yi Jin Jing had given him a body completely adaptable to any situation, and much more stronger and filled with the purest of energy. Against other opponents, he didn"t just have access to better training resources, he was also filled with a crazy amount of talent.
There was no need to stand on ceremony or say things that really didn"t have much of a meaning. The moment his two opponents, both males realized that Louis was ready, they rushed towards him, a spear and two gauntlet covers arms with claws aiming for his body. The guy with the gauntlet-claws was faster, but the guy with the spear had a longer weapon which gave him a greater reach, hence even if they didn"t arrive at the same time, both their attacks did.
Louis waved his rapier, raising a small circular shield to his left, right over his heart and making it a little bit more concave to deflect the strike from the spear. It was a good idea, and for the most part it worked, however the guy with the spear had a little bit more power than Louis a.s.sumed as the spear pierced through the shield, and was stuck there just as Louis reversed the grip on his right rapier and deflected the first clawed punch heading for his face, and then he took a step back, dodging another one and dislodging the spear from the ruined shield.
Louis leaned back, dodging both a claw and spear strike to his face whilst simultaneously slamming both blades of his rapier together, creating a bright flash that filled the area and left quite a few blindest, chief amongst them the opponents in front of him. However these guys weren"t your average cultivators, immediately they lost their ability to see, they rapidly utilized their movement technique to move back, taking them swiftly away from the reach of Louis"s Rapiers. Louis couldn"t help but notice how well these two work together, they were either good friends, brothers or at least related to each other, or lovers...though he had his doubts about that last one.
Either way it was obvious he had to up his game, spells won"t work too well with these guys, they had decent Talent when it comes to battle and they were in a higher realm than he was. Louis had to get serious, besides he was also almost at the end of his role anyways, just Like Alex he was also mentally exhausted, not to mention his Mana reserves were pitifully low, which was why the previous shield made was smaller. Though Louis would like to say the shield was so weak because he didn"t have enough Mana to infuse, but he would be wrong.
All spells had a definite cost, even after modifications, however some are sustained spells and would continually be active and increase or decrease in intensity depending on how much Mana was being infused into the spell.
However you can out less Mana than what you used to cast the spell, It would take a serious amount of time and energy to modify spells to have completely varying degrees of power based on the amount of Mana infused, a talent in Mana manipulation would be required for that, and that was practically the hardest thing to train as a mage.
But nonetheless Louis was still in the middle of a fight, magical theories and philosophies can be pondered on later. Louis took a stance, one rapier pointed behind him to the ground, and the other facing the sky and held close to his face with it"s hilt being right under his jaw, both his legs brought closely together. It was a n.o.ble"s stance, one that was quite familiar to most as it was a stance from an acclaimed and famed sword style. (Lumiere"s 12 Sun Of Light Style) a sword technique belonging to Louis"s family and one his elder brother has used to out the rest of G.o.d in quite a few people here.
Louis shot forward, his right and left Rapiers blazing with ours yang energy. Everyone who could see it could tell it was neither light not fire, and cultivators were very sensitive to the two prime elements of Yin and Yang! So they could immediately to that Louis was a dual discipline pract.i.tioner! A mage and a cultivator! Even more talented than his mage and knight brother. Basically it meant that Louis had access to not one, but two energy reserves of different alignment. Hence he could use different techniques for different situations, a jack of all trades and quite simply a master of all. It would be harder training and advancing, but such people would always be invisible.
Louis arrived in front of his opponents, his rapiers moving rapidly as he began to shoot his hands forward, both Rapiers stabbing at high blazing speeds as Louis utilized the (Lumiere"s 1st Sun Of Light: Rapid Flashes). It was a control technique meant to disorient the enemy and push them back a bit, whilst attempting to poke them full of holes in the process. His Opponents tried their best to defend against the onslaught of attacks, but in the end they were still being pushed back.
The guy using the spear became a little impatient and made a risky move, shooting his spear forwards towards Louis"s heart, a brown surge of energy leaping from one end of the spear to the other. Louis was shocked as the spear wielder was actually stabbed four times form him to utilize such a risky move. Of course the stabs were light and not too deep, seeing as the (1st Sun Of Light) move was not a killing one, but one for control.
Louis however was just too fast for him to keep up with, though not fast enough as even in the midst of the dodging, the spear still went under Louis"s armpit and left a nasty gash on his side. Louis made half a rotation as he was facing the soft while the guy"s moment carried him forwards. Louis rapidly reversed the grip of his rapiers as he struck forwards with the jewel studded hilt, using the same (1st Sun Of Light: Rapid Flashes) move, but this with the hilt of the blades.
There were numerous dull thuds as bones were broken and his opponent was quickly incapacitated and left paralyzed. But before he could even touch the ground, Louis had ducked down, and reversed his rotation going anticlockwise as he evaded the claws that were this time aiming for his throat. Louis shot upwards, his Rapiers still held in reverse as he slammed their hilts under the jaw of the claw wielding opponent, obviously shattering it and about a couple more dozen teeth along with it.
His Opponent flew into the air already knocked out as he fell to the ground, in just about the same time as the guy with the spear. None of them were moving, and white frankly n.o.body else was savings anything, as to the onlookers, Louis had just defeated two guys in one swift and smooth motion, without even an ounce of movement of energy wasted. Even more so for them was Louis shocking talent, and his weird ability to actually reverse his rotational movement at the drop of a hat! To them it was absolutely insane, and there was definitely going to be more stories to tell; because it wasn"t just Alex who was a freak of nature, even Louis could not be considered normal, he was just as talented as Alex.
It was an unprecedented but still unique victory, one that many of the people watching would not be forgetting any time soon. Alex gave Louis a nod of his head and shook it a bit, asking Louis to step down. If there was going to be any more fighting done, Alex was going to be taking care of it himself, however before he could take that step forward, Zhang Xiao Mei already walked forwards as she raised her head up towards the seventh floor, that was now filled to the brim with people who were members of the Starlight organization. It looks like Xiao Mei didn"t want to put any more stress on her little brother, she had already seen him bleeding from his nose after using those blood abilities of his.
She would fight in his stead, besides she was the big sister, it was her job to protect him, not to mention he was the weakest and youngest out of all of them. It just wouldn"t be fair having him fight, of course that was just a bulls.h.i.t excuse, but Xiao Mei didn"t care. The organizations in this tower had treated her clan mates terribly, so as it stands.... She"s coming for blood!
