Chapter 404: Rinloran’s Pierce (2/2)

The last scene in his eyes was Belo looking at him with an expression that seemed to be looking at a normal beast.

“Even captain......”

The freest person in the Goat Horn Team was Singo. However, he could not move at all.

The connection between him and the Undead Puppet was completely severed by Merlin.

“Merlin seems to be getting more and more relaxed and powerful...... Did she awaken something within her body? Like some battle instinct?”

Ayrin and Chris were completely attracted by Merlin’s close-range combat skill. They looked totally like two audience watching the fight.

Every time the Undead Puppet came into contact with her two hands, its balance would become worse. Gradually, its body appeared to be uncontrollably spinning the spot.

The four Eclipse Moon arcane masters also unwittingly joined the audience camp.

“Could it be that this is the rumored strongest close-range combat skill, Spinning Top Leaf?”

“Uncle, what is Spinning Top Leaf?” Ayrin immediately asked.

“It’s a close-range combat skill was said to have been lost at the end of the Era of the War with Dragons. This close-range combat skill allows the arcane master with weaker physical strength to resist an opponent with stronger physical strength. Every action aims to break the opponent’s balance. Those who grasped this close-range combat usually makes the opponent uncontrollably spin after a few exchanges, like a spinning top made to spin. By the time you are forced to spin, you would have become as brittle as a leaf, completely in the control of the opponent. Hence the name of this close-range combat skill is called Spinning Top Leaf.” The oldest Eclipse Moon arcane master watched the Undead Puppet which was spinning faster and faster, then spoke in astonishment, “This kind of close-range combat skill requires the user to have complete knowledge of the anatomy. The arcane master must grasp the opponent’s anatomy, power and weight distribution on the first clash. He also has to practice countless times...... in order to learn it.”

“As expected, it’s not a combat technique that clashed head-on, but aims to destroy the opponent’s balance...... In that case, if your strength is similar or even greater than the opponent, it will be even easier to destroy the opponent’s balance, making the opponent spin...... and making it easier to defeat the opponent!”

Ayrin enthusiastically watched Merlin’s every move without blinking once, memorizing Merlin’s every action.

In just a few seconds, the Undead Puppet had changed from spinning slowly to spinning rapidly like a spinning top.

“Next, Merlin should be finishing him off, right?” Chris had such a thought.

Plat!

At that instant, a snapping sound came from the Undead Puppet’s body.

Merlin’s left hand changed shape. Her five fingers formed a beak shape after closing up, and pecked the Undead Puppet’s arm.

That crisp sound came from within the Undead Puppet’s arm. Chris clearly felt that the Undead Puppet lost a portion of strength from that arm, a strip of muscle was severed.

“Could this be......” The oldest Eclipse Moon arcane master looked even more astonished, he exclaimed in disbelief.

At the same time he exclaimed, Merlin’s hands continued to peck the Undead Puppet. Every peck caused the Undead Puppet to produce muscle snapping sound. Although his body was still spinning, it was obvious that his arms and torso were constantly robbed of strength. His body also became completely disordered.

“What’s this combat skill?” Ayrin could not endure his curiosity.

“Sonic Pecker!” The oldest Eclipse Moon arcane master spoke with slight pauses in his breathing, “It’s also one of the strongest close-range combat skills during the Era of the War with Dragons. By using the different stabbing strength and stabbing point of the five fingers when hitting, it creates a staggered force like five sharp thorns, instantly severing some of the important muscle tissues of the opponent...... This close-range combat skill not only requires complete control on the strength exerted, unbelievable speed when pecking to generate piercing power, you must also understand the anatomy very well...... If you get hit by someone who has grasped this close-range combat skill, you will definitely get some of your muscles and tendons severed. It only takes a few hits to disable you.”

“A close-range combat skill you can’t even come into contact huh? And it’s a combat skill that can quickly damage the opponent’s body when both are locked in a quick-paced exchange of blows without the chance to use arcane skill!” Ayrin’s eyes shone even brighter.

......

Meanwhile, Rinloran had resumed moving at breathtaking speed.

Despite having the high elf moonlight healing and Ciaran’s strongest Holy Dawn healing, getting hit by Diaphano’s guardians a while ago did not allow him to recover to full strength.

However, his current speed was still unimaginably fast.

As he was clad in sword flashes, he seemed like a trail of sword flash flying through the air.

Diaphano’s expression was getting even paler, he knew that he was locked on by Rinloran. The next strike would determine the outcome.

Swoosh!

Rinloran’s figure suddenly vanished from sight.

All the sword flashes also suddenly disappeared. Then, the space before Diaphano seemed to split apart, with only a super fine sword flash drilling through.

Right from the front!

Diaphano held his breath.

The two dragon guardians which could make self-judgement reacted faster than him.

The two dragon guardians blocked his front at the same time.

However, Rinloran did not put the two dragon guardians in his mind.

Rinloran’s senses only sensed the cross-shape moonlight marking.

“Go! Thousand Storms Sword!”

He only let out a roar in his mind.

Psst!

Thousand Storms Sword’s sword flashes prowled through the front.

Crack! Crack!

Two explosions came from the dragon guardians’ bodies before Diaphano.

Diaphano felt his mouth extremely dry, as if he suddenly chewed on a mouthful of sand.

He lowered his head and saw that his abdomen was completely drilled through by the sword flashes.

Thump!

At the same time, the dragon guardians in front heavily knocked onto his body. Many shattered metal fragments pierced into his body.

Psst! Psst! Psst!......

Countless blood spurts and fragments burst out from his back.

Rinloran’s figure stopped before the fallen dragon guardians and Diaphano.

Rinloran’s face was pale as if all blood was drained from his face.

However, his eyes were sharper than any sword flash.

“Redwin...... I...... I will definitely learn the Thousand Storms Sword properly!” In his mind, the figure of that Brotherhood President who was more idiotic than Stingham appeared again.
