58 Bianes Turn (1/2)
”I don't know why she acts like that, but don't think you can survive my onslaught,” said Biane as she waved 'Santana' effortlessly, ”I'm a lot stronger than her.”
*cheer
The crowd definitely looking forward to this battle because of Biane's fine skill in destruction art. Wherever she fight, that place would get wrecked like a monster just run wild.
”What do you think about this battle?” said one of the newbie.
”Hmm hard to say, Lyon is definitely quick enough to dodge Clemora's barrage of thrust, but Biane is not just fast, her skill could spread to the whole ring,” said one of the onlooker.
Suddenly the air flow on the ring was changing, however, before Lyon had time to notice this, Biane already began her first attack.
Biane slashed her greatsword without even moving half a step forward and the wind was helping her creating a slash almost invisible to the naked eye.
*slash
Sensing the incoming danger, Lyon quickly dodged to the side to avoid the invisible slash while leaving a piece of his hair.
*boom
The slash continued and embedded itself to a nearby wall.
*cheer
The crowd was in the high mood after seeing the first slash.
”He got lucky!” said the newbie.
”Maybe, but Biane wouldn't stop with just one attack, she is a brutal lady.” said an expert with a sigh.
*slash
The second slash was coming and so was the third right behind it. Lyon had no time to relax and started to jump around the ring.
(I cannot keep this up, there must be a way) thought Lyon.
*slash
The next wave of attacks came and there was more invisible slash than before. (Goddamnit! Is there really no interval at all when she launched the art?)
Lyon's eyes manage to steal a glance at a gasping Biane while he jumped around.
(I see! I've been dodging the wrong way)
Then when the next wave of attacks came, Lyon did the unthinkable to the crowd. He launched himself toward the invisible slash.
”Is he crazy?!” said one of the onlookers.
”Do he want to die or something?!” said another.
The crowd definitely stupefied by Lyon's stunt because jumping right into the enemy's attack was the stupidest thing a cultivator could do.
Biane squinted her eyes at his action, (Did he figure it out?)
(Now!) Lyon jumped forward just right before the slash made contact with his clothes and saw the second attack behind it. Just as his toes touch the ground, Lyon spun himself to the side to dodge the second attack. Surprisingly, the third attack was also dodged at the same time.
”What?! How did he do that?!” said one of the newbies.
”Fascinating, he is truly a skillful cultivator, he must be seeing the weakness of Biane's attack.” said a careful onlooker.
(Hehe, I was right. Her slash was never an area skill art, the moment she gasps for breath I know there was something fishy about her slashes. There is a reason why she never moves from that spot!)
(Her art was a slash that will change direction according to the target's distance, hence she threw the first attack to make me jumped further from her)
(In other words, her slash had a motion of being linear first before moving in the direction according to the way Biane slashed. The further I am from her, the more limited space I could dodge to, making me either get out of the ring or accept injuries) thought Lyon.
”I see, so you did figure it out,” said Biane with a tinge of a smile.
Lyon wasted no time and launched at Biane to avoid her meddlesome arts. However, his movements became slower and slower as he approached her. There was a strong wind current crashing onto Lyon's body like a tidal wave.
(This woman is really, really meddlesome.) thought Lyon.
*slash
Biane threw a strong slash from her greatsword making Lyon blown back a few steps. Although his sword was not even half the size of 'Santana' it's still could withstand some serious attack.
”Don't blame me for this,” said Lyon as he gathered energies for his spell.
