Chapter 51: Banquet (6)
Sharp and hard crystals of ice were swirling around Syris’s blade
Although it was the innate power of the Endorma bloodline used to kill their opponents, Jin couldn’t help but find her figure beautiful and breathtaking, shi+ning under the crystal lights
Every time she thrust her sword, the sht
The cold energy’s crystals were spread apart densely like a net and shone brilliantly And while it gave Jin the urge to touch these beautiful floating shards, they were lethal weapons that would tear him apart
Craack!
The two blades collided, and the sound of ice breaking echoed in the arena Had Jin not covered his sith aura instinctively, his weapon would’ve shattered into bits and pieces
‘So this is the rumoured Myriad Iceblades’
Most people would’ve been bewildered when suddenly facing the Myriad Iceblades, but Jin didn’t show any change in his expression
“It’s still too early to be surprised, Jin Runcandel!”
‘Um, I’m not really surprised…’ or so Jin would’ve liked to reply, but his opponent had such an elated and triumphant face that he didn’t want to spoil her ed her attack with nih Jin had some time and room to spare, Syris believed he had narrowly avoided her blade
As Jin adjusted the distance between therew on Syris’s face
“You will tellrelated to that day”
“I wouldn’t be so sure I could’ve cut you down just now if I wished for it”
Indeed, it would’ve been possible had he used spiritual power, so Jin was technically telling the truth
“Looks like your bluffs are 5-star like your swords her sith full power once again
There are many cases where a 4-star defeats a 5-star in a duel of pure swordsmanshi+p Thus, if you added the Myriad Iceblades and Syris’s abundant fighting experience into the equation, it was beyond doubt that she would win this duel At least, that’s what Syris was thinking
Shhhrk! Shrrrrk!
Every ti, the air around the blade froze
It was a highly dangerous power In fact, the rumours say that an Endorma who masters the Myriad Iceblades can freeze an entire ocean
“I didn’t think you’d use your secret technique right off the bat, Syris As the youngest child who has yet to learn the clan’s secret techniques, it’s quite disheartening to watch”
“That’s not my problem!”
Jin didn’t counterattack and si on his defense Thus, Syris believed that her victory was guaranteed
A horizontal slash Lower slash Now a diagonal
Syris’s swordplay was fierce yet drew flexible trajectories Jin threw his body around to dodge and fend off her attacks
Although it appeared as if he was being pushed back, Jin aiting for an opening Moreover, the fact that he was able to ward off her sword every time proved his swordsh, Syris realized that her opponent was uess a 5-star is still a 5-star He was narrowly dodging and parrying , his true character and skills are showing’
It took a genius to know another genius
Syris admitted the fact that she had underestimated Jin His swordsmanshi+p was clearly far more advanced than hers
‘But that’s the extent of it The Myriad Iceblades 3rd Form can easily make up for the difference’
The Myriad Iceblades 3rd Form It was a technique that the Endormas called ‘Avalanche’ Syris could only use this technique a single tiy was severe, so it was a last resort she could only use at a decisive th and sta out this fight When he finishes reading my attack pattern and finally counterattacks, I’ll turn the tables on hi! Skrrrt!
Their radually ca used to each other’s ht drag out
And Syris wasn’t the only one thinking that Jin was slowly changing to a footwork that put hihts as his opponent
‘Syris should have recognized the difference in our skills by now, and she ht I’m sure she’ll use sooing to be?’
Jin couldn’t quite estith of her secret technique as he had never confronted so the Myriad Iceblades
Therefore, Jin decided to use the most powerful ‘secret technique’ he himself knew
Back when he was at the Storround in order to kill time Needless to say, Syris didn’t know that Jin already knew several secret techniques of various martial clans from history
Before Jin could decide on his countered at hi her sword down, ai, silver hair got in the way of her blade and were sliced off
“It’s over, Jin!”
Fwoooosh!+
Suddenly, a violent blizzardaround in a circle with Syris at the center But unlike the blizzards that form naturally, when the icy winds reached Jin, he received sashes on his forehead
The sharp winds were slicing away at his clothes, and the cold air washis neck and joints stiff
Myriad Iceblades 3rd For this snowstorm, the arena was completely dyed white Crystals of ice formed and exploded with dull sounds, and pure-white aura crashed into the obstacles like an avalanche
The scenery had unexpectedly changed to that of a snowy mountain peak in winter The snow/aura blocked Jin’s vision, and the wave of cold energy made it impossible to breathe
At the center was Syris with an enthusiastic expression showing her confidence in her victory
But she then saw Jin wearing the sarin of a human who knew they had already defeated their opponent
‘How come?’
The avalanche-esque snowstor in the arena, so even if he was a 5-star genius swordsman, he wouldn’t be able to overcoh she felt uneasy for a short moment, Syris didn’t pay it much heed The main force which prevented the world’s two superpowers—the Runcandels and Zipfels—fro the Hidden Palace was this power
Stagger
Syris stuy and aura within her Since she had avoided hitting Jin in the vital areas, he would most likely survive this ordeal But at the very least, the Runcandels’ youngest child would fear her from today onwards
However, Syris couldn’t savour the taste of victory yet
Akin to an ice pick, a single handle-less blade pierced through the thick layer of white, snowy energy that blocked their vision
‘What? How did he—!’
Syris hastily fixed her posture… At least, she tried to The asn’t enough on its own Her body’s lack of strength fro her brain’s orders She could only wait for the next sequence of events to occur in her bad posture
