Chapter 295: Yecheng: The Sword Dance Begins!
Chapter 295: Yecheng: The Sword Dance Begins!
"Blade Slash? This guy Yecheng is indeed from that world, and I estimate that before his crossing over, he was a sword master."
On the adjacent stage, Sida pulled off a cool 720-degree spiral jet to repel his opponent, who landed face-first, spitting out tomato sauce while still paying attention to Yecheng's battle.
Seeing Sida's "seriously injured" state, the referee felt pity and wanted to call a halt to the match. Sida's resilient yet unyielding personality was admirable, but if this continued, Sida would be beaten to death by Kreya!
However, the referee's good intentions were unexpectedly rejected unanimously by this oddball sister-brother duo.
Sida refused because his "Wayfarer's Eighty-Eighth Move: Ultimate Art" was not yet complete, and it wasn't time for him to leave the stage.
As his opponent, Kreya also told the referee that she had grown up beating up her younger brother. She didn't mention other aspects of her brother, but his thick skin was commendable.
For Sida, this level of intensity was nothing; it was the constant whipping from his older sister that would allow his unaccomplished brother to grow.
This "deep sibling bond" left the audience speechless.
Jaga and Rxu, who had come to witness their friend's embarrassment, now watched Sida, who was stuck in the stage like an upside-down onion, with expressions of discomfort.
If they remembered correctly, Sida had once said that his older sister doted on him, right?
So, this was what was meant by "doting"? No, if Sida cherished this kind of "affection," they seemed to have discovered a blind spot: Sida might be an M!
Compared to the various ways Sida was getting knocked down, the battle between Yecheng and Roze was much more exciting.
As Sida had said earlier, Yecheng's rapid blade slash to counter Roze's longsword technique was the so-called "Blade Slash."
But Yecheng's Blade Slash was not an ordinary one; it was a simultaneous slash and retreat.
This move was both offensive and defensive, allowing for the fastest counterattack while defending.
The best weapon for a Blade Slash was a longsword, but the sword techniques and knights in this world seemed to prefer using swords, so they lacked such a technique.
Therefore, when Yecheng countered Roze's attack with a high-speed Blade Slash, she was genuinely surprised.
"My apologies, Senior Roze. It was my fault for being distracted just now. To express my sincerity, I will now fight you with my 'true strength'!"
Roze had intended to ask about the sword technique Yecheng had just used, but in the next moment, as Yecheng spoke, his figure had already closed in on her.
"So fast! Did he enhance himself with mana?"
Facing Yecheng, who had suddenly appeared before her, Roze had no time to think and hastily gripped her longsword to block.
"Ding——————!"
As a powerful clash of metal rang out, Roze, holding her sword with both hands, felt a terrifying force transmitted through the sword to her hands.
The immense power caused her hands to go numb, and the intense vibration almost made her longsword slip from her grasp.
But at the last moment, Roze clenched her teeth and tightened her grip on the sword. According to the swordsmanship tournament rules, if the longsword slipped from her hand, it would be considered a defeat.
The longsword in his hand was firmly gripped, and although the powerful force exerted on the blade was enough to push Roze's body back, it still slid several meters away from the edge of the stage!
As she watched Night City's relentless pursuit, pushing her to the edge of the stage, Roze unleashed all her mana without holding back.
Only those with mana are worthy of the title "Mage Swordsman," a level of power far beyond those without.
Mana not only enhances the body, granting Mage Swordsmen the robust physique that ordinary people can only dream of after countless forging, but it can also be channeled into their blades, imbuing their techniques with immense destructive power.
With mana, Roze's body became exceptionally light and agile. As Night City's strike landed where she had just been standing, she gracefully sidestepped the attack, her body enveloped in a gust of wind as she counterattacked.
"Ding—ding—ding—ding—ding!"
On the stage, the two figures clashed repeatedly, their longswords clashing and ringing out with each strike.
The students in the audience were utterly mesmerized. Such an intense battle was not only unexpected in the first round but would have been a rare sight even in past finals!
The princess of the Artistic Kingdom, Roze, was even more formidable than Night City had imagined. He decided to unleash more of his power, thinking that if she could withstand this attack, there would be nothing more to say even in defeat.
Night City, of course, was not using mana to enhance himself. He was solely relying on his physical prowess to counter Roze's mana-enhanced body.
No, Night City was not only fighting with his physical strength but also seemed to be suppressing himself, holding back.
Roze's strength, however, had exceeded Night City's expectations. Even compared to the current Kreya, she was undoubtedly stronger than his cheap father, Gais.
As the prolonged battle continued, Night City's playful spirit emerged, and he decided to reveal more of his power.
"Night God Flow Zero - Butterfly Dance!"
Roze, who had been evenly matched with Night City, was taken aback when she saw him draw his sword again.
Night City's previous sword techniques, while seemingly powerful, felt incomplete to Roze, like a pre-programmed puppet following a set routine.
But the sword Night City wielded now gave Roze a completely different impression, as if it had been imbued with a new soul!
Indeed, it was as if ordinary art had been elevated by the infusion of a soul.
In Roze's eyes, Night City remained the same person, but his movements and the sword in his hand transformed into a butterfly gracefully dancing.
Although he was swinging his sword, it felt more like a sword dance, a dance as magnificent as a waltz, dazzling and deadly!
"Ding——————!"
Despite her heightened vigilance, after blocking several of Night City's attacks, scratches began to appear on Roze's body.
As the princess of the Artistic Kingdom, Roze had naturally developed an appreciation for art through exposure. However, her love for the sword surpassed her artistic inclinations, leading her to choose the path of the blade.
But she never imagined that someone could merge art and the sword, creating such an "Artistic Sword"!
