Chapter 127: Fighting with Sword and Tongue (b) (1/2)

”Let me see if you got the strength to back up your arrogance.” Elliot's feet pressed on the floor, and the muscles of his arms bulged as he also used all his strength to push the swords against him.

A few moments passed by, yet both sides didn't gain a visible advantage.

Elliot shoot it a glance and spoke the following words, ”Why don't you use both of your swords?”

”Because I don't think I need to (use both my swords to defeat you as just one is enough).” The statue said in a voice overflowing with arrogance and confidence as the glow in its eyes turned a shade darker.

From the changes in its eyes, Elliot determined that it was about to use the power of one of its seven magic matrixes. So, he also came up with a picture in his mind and channeled the essence of life into his divine matrix to materialize it.

”Divine Spirit Burst!”

An instant after saying those words, as it channeled ten units of spirit energy in its first magic matrix and lost half of its remaining lifespan, an emerald energy burst out of its silver sword.

”You aren't the only one with powerful sword moves!”

Right at that time, a huge amount of golden energy burst from Elliot's swords and clashed with the incoming emerald energy.

The two types of energies clashed with each other in mid-air, creating a buzzing sound that echoed throughout the far reaches of the corridor.

Bomb

Emerald and golden waves burst out as an explosion occurred at the point of impact after a few moments, and both parties took a few steps backward.

A smile crept on the statue's face as it said gleefully, ”It's been too long since I met someone so amusing, and now I want to defeat you at all cost. I will be giving my all to achieve my last wish.”

Elliot also smiled, as thanks to his godly right eye, he found out that the statue only had around a dozen units of spirit energy left in its body, and once it uses it all, it would breathe its last.

He brandished his swords at it, saying quite blatantly, ”Like hell I would let you do that.”

The copper statue did not take well to his words and immediately responded by stepping up and using both of its swords to slash at him. Not only were its attacks too fast and sudden, but Elliot was also in the reach of its swords. Thus, they reached his chest instantly. Just as the swords were about to give him fresh scars on his chest, a wave of golden energy flooded out of his chest and smashed on the tip of the swords, tilting them to the sides. To Elliot's surprise, the copper statue instantly rotated its wrist and tilted the swords sideways, swiping them down towards him once again.

Clank!*

He managed to use his swords to block them at the very last moment, but the force behind its attack was so strong that he got lifted off his feet and thrown backward. While still in mid-air, he spun around and landed one of his feet on the ground, still sliding backward. He landed the tip of his swords on the ground, which resulted in sparks fluttering about and him coming to a halt quite gracefully.

”Clumsy.” The copper statue taunted Elliot by using a single word.

Elliot smiled back, but this smile was anything but friendly. He thought about achieving God Mode, and the God's Qi in his magic matrix entered his body through the back of his right arm and integrated with his skin, veins, flesh, and organs.
