Chapter 25 - Truly Sharp! (2/2)
Will started to cultivate as he stood, he had technique, he had intent, he was confident he had qi. Now all he needed to do was to try it out.
You have to risk it to get the biscuit. Breathe Will.
”Huuuu.”
As soon as the Warhawk saw Will breathe, its instinct told it that something was not right. By reflex, it decided to bring out its strongest attack. A fireball unlike any other before it started forming in front of the bird. However, instead of just firing it, the Warhawk decided to shrink the ball and concentrate the power of the flames. The sphere shrunk until it was only four meters in diameter.
Although it was smaller than the others, it was clearly much more dangerous. Its color was much more vibrant and it gave off an intensity, unlike anything Will had ever felt before. Nevertheless, Will did not give up; in fact, one could say this only served to motivate him.
Once more ice platforms formed around Will as he leaped from the ground. Leaping from platform to platform, Will felt as if he was ready to fight for his life, there would be no bloodlust, no radiant energy to save him. Either he succeeds or he dies.
After a few leaps, Will arrived near the bird. At this moment the fireball was launched with incredible ferocity. Will immediately kept to the side after predicting the trajectory and avoided it.
He completely ignored the sounds of explosions behind him and even used the concussive force to push him further. The Warhawk was somewhat stunned by Will's incredible athletic display, yet it did not budge. The Warhawk knew that its head was the hardest part of its body and it was confident in its ability to block off anything Will could dish out.
So once Will was right in front of it the hawk did not try to run but instead flew forward, in an attempt to ram into Will.
One more platform formed in front of Will. This was his final one as he lifted up his sword, to do what he had done millions of times already. Except now there were two factors. His intent was sharp and he was cultivating with all his might!
”Arhhgg!”
With a shout, Will swung his sword. As he swung he felt the energy leave his body throughout his pores and cover his sword. He focused all his intent on his blade and swung with all he could!
After his swing, he met with no collision. Nothing touched him, all he could feel was heat passing by his sides, as the bisected corpse of the bird fell by his side. At the corner of his vision, a '1' finally formed, proving that he had
finally done it.
He had finally performed a true strike!
