The billowing smoke and dust obstructed Fang Zheng's vision, but he didn't need to see to be sure that thing was still alive. The fact that he still couldn't use his skills indicated that the opponent was still exerting oppressive force on them. Although he had indeed sent the opponent flying just now, the recoil force was enough to… make it hurt.
“Hiss…”
Carefully moving his body, Fang Zheng sucked in a breath of cold air. He opened and closed his right hand, which was gripping the sword hilt, then grasped the hilt again, finally dispelling the faint feeling of paralysis in his fingers. In that other world, he hadn't used his own body, so he could perform any exaggerated action. But in the Dark Soul world, aside from the weapon mastery skill, he had brought nothing out. Although the battle techniques were still in his memory, fully executing them with his current body was not easy. If he still had his original strength, it wouldn't be a problem, but who told this bastard to block the Power of Order?
Although Fang Zheng's body had grown stronger with training over time, it was clearly impossible to possess the strength comparable to a barbarian.
He had no choice but to try that move.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng tightened his grip on the dagger in his hand, staring intently at the billowing smoke and dust ahead.
“Hoo!!”
The smoke rolled, and the Child of Chaos roared as it leaped out again, raising its large pitch-black sword and swinging it down fiercely towards Fang Zheng.
Now!
Just as the Child of Chaos was raising its giant sword, Fang Zheng's eyes lit up. He rolled forward to close the distance between himself and the Child of Chaos. Then, raising his left hand, Fang Zheng swung the dagger upward. Just as the giant sword was about to come down, the dagger struck the part of the sword near the hilt.
“Damn it!”
Seeing this, Mart couldn't help but shout. The scene was so astonishing. In front of the massive Child of Chaos, Fang Zheng looked like a five or six-year-old child. It made the combat between the two seem like a battle between a strong warrior and a child barely reaching the warrior's waist. Fang Zheng's action of striking the sword with his own looked like a mantis trying to stop a cart. Both Mart and the other templars almost expected the next moment when the young man would scream and be sent flying. Without the augmentation of the Power of Order, they were even weaker than usual. Although the young man could move freely, his strength hadn't increased.
The Child of Chaos's own power exceeded that of ordinary people by dozens of times. The gap between them was like that of a tiger versus a rabbit. Under the opponent's full-force strike, what were the chances of Fang Zheng retreating unscathed?
Almost zero.
Under everyone's gaze, the dagger in Fang Zheng's reverse grip collided with the giant sword. Accompanied by a “thud,” the next moment, an unbelievable scene unfolded.
The giant sword in the Child of Chaos's hand, which was about to swing down, suddenly flew back as if it had struck an invisible, solid wall. Simultaneously, the Child of Chaos let out a wail, collapsing in front of Fang Zheng as if it had lost all its strength. And Fang Zheng did not miss this opportunity; he stepped forward, swung his Sky-Cleaving Sword with no hesitation, chopping into the gap in the armor at the Child of Chaos's neck, then kicked the enormous creature in the chest, sending it tumbling to the ground.
Fang Zheng raised his longsword again, attempting to deliver a killing blow, but before he had a chance to act, he saw the Child of Chaos gripping its giant sword and swinging at him again. This forced Fang Zheng to roll backward to avoid the attack. Meanwhile, the Child of Chaos slowly stood up again, letting out a muddled roar. Though no one could understand what it was saying, its anger was clear.
“How do you kill this thing?”
Fang Zheng cautiously watched his opponent, asking without turning his head. He was sure his blade had struck deep into the neck, nearly severing it. Yet, the creature's behavior indicated nothing had happened. There was no blood, not even a drop on the Sky-Cleaving Sword. It was frustrating; clearly, this enemy wasn't easy to take down.
And to make matters worse, the system didn't recognize the Child of Chaos as an undead creature, so the damage he could inflict was reduced.
“The Child of Chaos can't be killed!”
Shi Dong's voice called out loudly as he came to his senses.
“It's a creation of Chaos; it has no concept of life and death. No matter how much damage you do, it will never die.”
“What now?”
Hearing Shi Dong, Fang Zheng was even more speechless. He hadn't expected this world to contain such things… a boss with no health bar… that was lethal!
“Normally, we could defeat it, then seal it while it's weakened, but now… we don't have a cleric…”
“No, there's another way!”
Before Shi Dong could finish, Grand Knight Mart seemed to have thought of something and spoke.
“We can request the Goddess of Order's guidance to banish it from this world!”
“You mean the banishment spell?”
Hearing Mart's words, Shi Dong's expression changed.
“In the Chaos Force Field? We don't even have a holy artifact!”
“No, we do!”
As Mart spoke, he looked towards a nearby stone slab—the cover of the stone coffin that had once sealed the Child of Chaos. Upon closer inspection, the slab was engraved with intricate patterns and sacred texts.
“This was used to borrow the Goddess's power to seal the Child of Chaos. If we can use it to connect with the Goddess…”
“Whatever you're planning, you'd better hurry!”
Mart had not finished speaking when Fang Zheng cut him off impatiently. He intently watched the Child of Chaos rushing towards him yet again, then raised one long sword and one short sword in his hands.
“I'll try to hold him off, but I can't guarantee for how long!”
No sooner had he spoken than the Child of Chaos's giant sword once again swung down at Fang Zheng. Choosing to roll backward to avoid the blow, Fang Zheng had decided to stall for time. In the world of the Dark Soul, Fang Zheng had learned many things, and patience was foremost among them—dealing with a mere Child of Chaos was nothing. He used to take an hour to defeat any boss.
The Child of Chaos attacked once more. Its swordsmanship was uncoordinated, simply wild slashes. Fang Zheng didn't mind. In the world of the Dark Soul, he had fought countless battles, faced many predicaments, and died countless times. His accumulated experience was more than Shi Dong and Mart's combined. No matter how chaotic the attacks were, Fang Zheng could react and dodge them in time. The Child of Chaos seemed to lack intelligence and didn't realize what the others were doing, focusing all its attention on Fang Zheng.
As time passed, the situation grew increasingly tense for Fang Zheng. Despite having the experience to handle the fight, he lacked the stamina and physical strength. The constant dodging of the Child of Chaos's attacks was sapping his energy quickly. He even felt fatigue setting in, his legs aching and barely able to move.
“Roar———!!”
With the Child of Chaos's roar, another sword strike came down from above. Facing this lightning-fast attack, Fang Zheng gritted his teeth and tried to sidestep. Unexpectedly, just as his left leg was about to support his body, he felt his legs give out, as if his muscles had lost all strength.
Not good!
Realizing his physical condition had changed, Fang Zheng was shocked. The Child of Chaos's attack was already in front of him, and he had no time to dodge.
No choice but to go all out!
Thinking this, Fang Zheng dropped the dagger in his left hand and gripped the Sky-Cleaving Sword tightly with both hands. He raised the longsword to meet the incoming giant sword.
“Clang!!”
The giant sword smashed heavily onto Fang Zheng's Sky-Cleaving Sword, making him shudder and dropping to a half-kneeling position. The giant sword continued its strong downward momentum, slicing swiftly toward Fang Zheng's head. Clenching his teeth, Fang Zheng pushed the Sky-Cleaving Sword sideways. The giant sword's blade nearly grazed his head, causing the Sky-Cleaving Sword to angle downward before coming to rest on Fang Zheng's shoulder.
The intense pain made Fang Zheng almost scream, but he clenched his teeth and held back the nearly unavoidable strike. However, he had reached his limit.
At this moment, Shi Dong's voice suddenly rang out behind Fang Zheng.
“Success! Fang Zheng, move away!”
Hearing Shi Dong, Fang Zheng felt as if he had heard celestial music. He quickly rolled on the ground, using the Child of Chaos's remaining momentum to evade to the side. The Child of Chaos didn't expect his enemy to dodge at the last moment and lost its balance.
As soon as Fang Zheng rolled away, a white ray shot out from his original position, directly hitting the Child of Chaos!
