Chapter 403: Determination For Victory (2/2)
Bam!
The Undead Puppet’s fist carrying pale white power brand suddenly appeared between Ayrin’s brows.
Ayrin was astonished.
His arm forcefully cushioned between the fist and his forehead.
Boom!
Ayrin was knocked back again. His had a concussion, as if his head suddenly felt several times heavier.
“Impressive! What a strange close-range combat skill! I will definitely learn a lot from fighting this guy!”
Ayrin vaguely remembered that the Undead Puppet used a completely different fist technique compared to others. He did not retract his fist then punch, but twisted his body from the start and threw out his entire arm. The two arms of the Undead Puppet were like two machetes. They moved in big motions and had greater coverage. They could strike faster and earlier.
“Merlin?”
Suddenly, Ayrin saw Merlin’s figure showing up on the other side of the Undead Puppet in the corner of his eyes.
Whoosh!
The Undead Puppet still did not turn to look and his arm threw out like a machete again, aiming at Merlin’s head.
Merlin’s body suddenly swayed backwards. The Undead Puppet’s fist only grazed a ball of silver afterimage.
Her right hand chopped the Undead Puppet’s arm with a clear motion.
The Undead Puppet’s body shook and left its standing place for the first time, jumping to the side.
Ayrin and Chris opened their eyes wide in disbelief.
Merlin’s close-range combat skill seemed to be even stronger than that Undead Puppet?
The Undead Puppet completely focused on Merlin. His arms immediately became countless white shadows.
Sounds of clashing resounded. Merlin’s figure constantly appeared all around the Undead Puppet. During every clash between their fists and feet, Merlin’s body remained stable. On the other hand, despite the Undead Puppet’s strength obviously surpassing hers, he was thrown off balance by Merlin.
“Every strike of Merlin seems to be finding a chance to break the opponent’s balance. Then she would see if she can find a chance in the next strike.” Ayrin had grouped up with Chris and discussed Merlin’s combat skill with Chris like researchers.
“Footwork...... Her actions do not seem fast, but her entire body is like a pendulum. The next action after evading is especially fast, it’s because of her footwork!” In contrast to Ayrin who focused on Merlin’s hand movement, Chris locked on to Merlin’s footwork.
“What the hell is this metal clockwork war avatar!?”
Singo, who was just next to Merlin and the Undead Puppet, was already shocked to the extreme.
Not only was the Undead Puppet he was controlling stalled by Merlin and could not attack others, Merlin’s left hand also seemed to have a great mystery.
It seemed that when she got there, she had changed into another arm.
Every clash with her left hand caused Singo to feel less connection with the Undead Puppet.
The unique arcane energy connection between him and the Undead Puppet was no longer complete. He could not even retract a portion of his power from the Undead Puppet!
......
“Moss, what about your side!? We are almost finished, do you need our help!?”
Stingham, who was the freest amongst them, remembered the almost forgotten Moss. He shouted towards the continuously exploding zone far away.
“Ayrin’s side is almost finished?”
“I can’t let them mock me again......”
Moss struggled to pant. Blood was flowing out from his nose and mouth.
Compared to the start, the duel between him and Prando had become more difficult.
That was because his attacking route was always a straight line. Prando was slowly adapting to it.
Prando just had to defend the direction he charged from to minimize the injury.
However, his body received quite an amount of damage due to the shock of impact every time.
“Originally, Berserk God’s Returning Scorched Sun is not limited to a straightforward attack. It can attack from any direction using its spin......”
“I must learn this technique...... I must defeat this guy! I must not hide behind others! I must let my mother feel proud of me!”
Boom!
He disappeared again. Trails of smoke appeared in the air once more.
“Spin, Berserk God’s Returning Scorched Sun!”
Moss’s brain recalled every diagram in the skill scroll, recalled the voice of Minlur who explained the skill to him.
“I just need to guard the front. He should not be able to hold out after another two or three times. Then I can counterattack and kill him!”
Prando, also with blood flowing out from his nose and mouth, pushed his hands forward. Five to six rapidly spinning crystal pillars appeared in front of him.
“What!?”
However, at that instant, his blood seemed to freeze.
He saw Moss’s robust body slamming into those crystal pillars.
A burning presence came from the back, cutting into Prando’s body before he could react.
Half of Prando’s body flew out while burning.
Pssh!
Without the materialized blade for cutting, Moss’s body directly hit the crystal pillar, causing him to spit out blood.
However, as he fell to the ground, his heart was filled with pride.
“Stingham! No need to help!”
“It’s over on my side!”
He shouted with all his strength.
