526 Ancient Ruins Expedition 6 (1/2)

Chapter 526: Ancient Ruins Expedition 6

Garen snapped the woman’s neck cleanly, and simply threw it aside.

Without that ability to dematerialize, these women figures were not too different from the strength shadows he encountered in the beginning, simple and easy.

Garen searched the other two women’s bodies, and found nothing, so all he could do was twist their necks as well and leave.

In the darkness, the three women’s corpses slowly melted and faded, utterly becoming one with the darkness.

When faced with these swordswomen, if one could not catch that split-second opportunity, no matter how strong a fighter they were, they would be destroyed by time alone. After all, the swordswomen’s speed and strength were not weak by any means, and three had appeared at once.

The battle chance could only be caught by fighters who were extremely nimble in their senses and their speed, and they had to be extraordinarily experienced. Any other type of person would have no choice but to waste away here.

The darkness retreated rapidly, and it became the same pale blue mist once more.

Garen stepped forward and continued on his way.

In the time after that, wave after wave of these beautiful swordswomen kept appearing, and unlike how easily he could dispatch them in the beginning, the swordswomen began growing faster and faster, until they caused him some trouble.

At first these swordswomen appeared in teams of three, then two, and by the end it was just one person at a time.

As their numbers increased, their power increased steadily as well.

By the time he reached the last single-woman team, the swordswoman’s power had already achieved an extremely high level.

The swordswoman’s black sword was like a bolt of lightning in the darkness, it kept turning and slicing, leaving him without a moment to breathe. The onslaught was continuous, the extreme speeds bringing explosive power as well.

After many collisions, the Tower Shield was utterly destroyed. Garen had no choice but to fight with his own hands.

The last swordswoman’s speed was already faster than his, reaching speeds equivalent to about 20 potential points, this seemed to be the limit, the swordswoman’s attacks came at a jumping curve, and the instant the black sword twinkled, the blade was already on Garen’s body.

Garen called this technique the Leap Slash, it was not any particularly special technique, just a terrifying ability born from the swordswoman’s explosive power.

With the price of a deep cut through his shoulder, Garen took the chance to smash the swordswoman to death and win. But he had no choice except to stop as well, waiting for his body to heal naturally.

Although he didn’t have his unnatural powers here, making his healing speeds much slower, but the Nine-Headed Dragon’s Heart still had a powerful recovery speed that normal creatures could not hope to match.

After resting in the same spot for three whole days, Garen’s injuries no longer affected him, so he got up and continued on.

In these three days, he had also understood the swordswoman’s final Leap Slash. The swordswoman’s body was far from as powerful as his, and yet she could demonstrate such explosive speed. That was how valuable that technique was.

After three days of reflection and study, and after so many hands-on fights with the swordswomen, Garen finally understood the key to it.

As an expert fighter who had witnessed many secret techniques, Garen had a far stronger understanding of these secret technique battle skills without any unnatural powers than the Cthulhu King or the Divine God Palace Master. Such techniques naturally held no secrets to his eyes.

His powerful Intelligence came into play in a big way here as well, as he successfully analyzed the principles behind the Leap Slash.

This technique could unleash close to 20 attribute points of speed in an instant, but it required a light and sharp weapon, by controlling the weapon and the rhythm of one’s body, using a special blood qi channeling technique, they could gather all the power in their body, and shoot out their weapon as though it was a hidden weapon.

Although this technique was strong, its limit could not go any further than 20 attribute points in speed, and its power was equivalent to a Form Four battle totem outside. Outside, this sort of technique had no meaning, but in here, in the ruins where he could only use his own body to fight, the Leap Slash had a powerful effect.

This technique may have put a heavy burden on the swordswomen, but to Garen, it was easy as pie. He could absolutely use it like a normal technique, such was the power of a strong Vitality.

Ever since he entered the ruins, this was his second time reaping rewards from it, the first was learning the Doublecast ability, this time it was the simple Leap Slash technique.

Both of these techniques were things he could use by himself, no matter in what surroundings, with or without totem power or Totem Light, they would not be weakened.

Garen suddenly understood, if the legends were true, then the Warlocks definitely had the ability to travel through space, and in the starry space, there were countless planets, some with unique environments, where one could use powerful abilities to leverage on all the power of the surroundings, while others were complete wastelands that could not be leveraged at all, so those leveraging powers would be greatly diminished.

And the only thing they could truly rely on was their own bodies. The channeling of the blood qi in their bodies, to create a tremendous power, that was the true core.

Bringing his thoughts back, Garen finally ate the remaining jerky, and took out the red button.

”Is anyone there?”

These few days he had done this practically every day, asking at least once a day, but there had not been any response from the other two sides.

This time, however, there was finally a response.

”Nine-Headed Snake?” A hoarse voice came from the button. It was the Cthulhu King, he sounded extremely tired. ”Are you okay?” The Cthulhu King followed up with a question.
