Chapter 1693 - Rays (3) (1/2)

Dyon's sword flowed like the rays of the sun. At that moment, every movement of the five captains became incomparably clear to him. Not just the choices they would make, but the trajectories and weaknesses of their techniques. His comprehension of the sword had reached such a profound height that even the techniques of the Five Blade Families were directly understood by him.

It was incomparably difficult to raise comprehension of weapon wills. However, as sword sprites, this obviously wasn't an issue that these captains faced. Each and every one of them had a half-step dao sword will. But, when their projections appeared in the air, they were directly dwarfed by Dyon's. Even Diasho Ken's, who had one that spanned 10 meters, had barely 10% the size of Dyon's!

At this moment, Diasho Ken suddenly realized just how much Dyon was holding back during the day of the black sun. Back then, he had used nothing but his fists, when reality, he was multiple times more powerful with a weapon in his hand!

”[Piercing Rays: First Layer]!”

Dyon fell into a selfless state. He no longer allowed his emotions to rule him. He needed a swift and decisive victory as quickly as possible.

[Piercing Rays] was a peak common grade technique split into nine layers, something that was rare for such a low grade technique.

The quintessence of the technique was hidden within its name. One that reached its utmost layer would have a sword qi akin to the rays of the sun, unhindered and unfettered, ruling over the world with unmatched speed and power.

However, for such a weak technique to have such a grandiose description, it could be imagined the kind of flaws it had. While those words sound grand on the surface, wasn't it simple to block the rays of the sun? Even a small child could cast a shadow of their own, right? Didn't this mean that even a small child could block the sun?

This was the weakness of the technique. It had grand aspirations, but its path was flawed. Light was flexible, but it was too flexible. If one wanted a technique with such fluidity, but also had a hidden power within, it would be better to model it after water instead of mere sun rays.

However, during his comprehension, Dyon stumbled upon something beautiful.

The rays of the sun could be impeded, but to every yin there was a yang. With the rays of the sun, came an ever-present shadow. When the shadows rescinded, what remained was the ever-looming sun. Yin and Yang, Light and Dark, Sun and Shadow. This was what this technique was missing!

If [Vanishing Fist] could be considered the equivalent to a Heaven Grade technique once brought to the One with Self realm, [Piercing Rays] was not a single bit inferior. If it wasn't for the fact Dyon hadn't comprehended light and darkness wills, it wouldn't lose out to even a divine grade technique!

However, while Dyon didn't comprehend light and dark, what he did have were his unique flames!
