Chapter 165: Chapter 158: The Forbidden Rare Artifact “Chains of Reversal
“The Black Lion,” the elder in the black robe who was completely concealing his face, was employing mental magic to control Viscount Garcia’s cousin Gus, while also using a mysterious rare artifact to mask the presence of several people in the area.
He had been muttering to himself calmly as Chris charged forward.
“It won’t be that easy.”
Chris launched a daring assault, his blade flashing with a silvery glow!
His speed was extraordinarily fast, as he unleashed an unstoppable force and thrust his dagger swiftly towards Viscount Garcia’s neck.
As soon as the fight began, wind barriers were always ready around Viscount Garcia for protection, but they couldn’t completely fend off Chris’s attack. The dagger instantly pierced through the invisible wind barrier, about to touch the opponent’s body.
Had he succeeded?
Byrne, Irene, Theo, and Vanessa all felt a surge of surprise in their hearts as they witnessed this scene!
Just as Chris’s dagger was about to touch Viscount Garcia, his body uncontrollably moved backward, and the movement became faster and faster!
What’s going on?
Chris immediately realized something was amiss, sensing with his powerful perceptive abilities that it was not just his own issue, but that some invisible mysterious force was affecting the whole situation.
Vanessa desperately wanted to stand up, yet she found herself squatting down uncontrollably.
While intending to thrust forward, he found himself involuntarily moving backward, the distance from his opponent growing greater. And the more he tried to move forward, the more he moved back. Could it be…
Viscount Garcia also swayed in place in all directions for an instant as if adapting to some change. The next moment, he charged forward, raising his hands to instantly unleash a flurry of wind blades around him!
Meanwhile, Byrne, who had realized what was amiss, shouted:
“It’s our movements! They’ve all been reversed!”
When Viscount Garcia faced a fatal threat, the forbidden rare artifact he borrowed from the Eagle clan, the “Chains of Reversal,” had automatically activated!
At the cost of one year of his life, within a 300-meter radius centered on him, everyone’s movements would be completely reversed!
Each invisible wind blade was immensely powerful and undoubtedly a lethal attack. Combined with the eerie effect of the “Chains of Reversal,” the enemies in Viscount Garcia’s mind were as good as dead!
Chris, who seemed about to be sliced by the invisible wind blades, suddenly moved with an incredibly strange and agile posture, dodging numerous invisible slashes as if he were a nimble cat.
No, that was even more agile than any cat!
Viscount Garcia was shocked to his core.
That young man not only adapted to the reversed movements in a short time, but he could also sense the flow of air, dodging the numerous wind blades with extreme precision.
“Are you really Chris Fischer?”
He couldn’t imagine that the young man before him was the same extradimensional being of low-level Transmutation mentioned in the reports.
Impossible!
Even a high-level Transmutation Bloodline Knight would hardly be able to dodge such attacks with such agility under those circumstances!
“Fire!”
Byrne had already released a multitude of flaming birds, attempting to attack Viscount Garcia when he suddenly heard the roar of a ferocious beast!
The werewolf creature that had been nearly killed by a meteorite had surprisingly stood back up, as if a mysterious rare artifact on its body had activated, quickly replenishing its life force.
The Roaring Evil Beast, full of rage, first backed up a few steps, then took large strides forward, rushing towards Byrne and the others!
Byrne frowned slightly, acutely aware that it was up to him and his companions to deal with this beast, as the “Black Lion” must be controlling Gus.
At the same time, Chris had become entangled in a duel with Viscount Garcia.
To adapt to the effects of the “Chains of Reversal,” the Garcia family had already undergone training in advance, so although Viscount Garcia’s speed was slightly reduced, he remained lethal.
Every time he raised his hand, he would send out a flurry of invisible wind blades, with Chris barely dodging each time, but unable to close in on him.
Getting closer would mean he couldn’t dodge the attacks anymore; at that distance, it wasn’t a matter of agility but a complete lack of space for a perfect dodge.
Chris maintained his distance, engaging in a one-on-one duel with Viscount Garcia.
Viscount Garcia’s gaze was determined and focused, keenly aware of his opponent’s every move, his robust body moving quickly because of the wind’s power.
Each time he swung his hand, a myriad of invisible wind blades formed half a meter in front of him, then burst forth at speeds surpassing a flintlock bullet.
While Chris dodged the wind blades with deadly precision, he also danced with his silvery dagger, drawing elegant arcs in the air. With each flash of silver light, his fighting spirit soared. Each swing of his dagger carried astonishing power and speed, as if slicing through time itself.
The Reaper seemed to have woven his footsteps into a certain rhythm, alternating between attacks and evasions, their dance filled with contradictory provocations and restraints.
Yet because of the numerous invisible wind blades, he could never truly reach Viscount Garcia.
Moreover, that powerful Reaper would occasionally take to the air, attacking from mid-flight.
However, flying demanded his attention to control the airflow and maintain flight, which greatly reduced the number of slashes he could release, serving only to disrupt the rhythm of the battle.
