Clang!
Avatar’s murderous intent burst out. In a hurry, Katyusha could only raise her spear to block the attack. She was forced backwards, each step burying into the stone tiles. Countless cracks appeared under her feet, spreading out like a spider web.
A shockwave visible to the naked eye rushed out in all directions. The ground shook, the air trembled, and all houses within 1000 feet toppled as if they were made out of jigsaw pieces.
After the attack, a small nick opened up on Avatar’s obsidian broadsword. The material of his Beastman Epic blade couldn’t be compared to Katyusha’s Spear of Victory.
But so what?
Katyusha retreated, and Avatar followed like a shadow. He huffed out a breath. A fast air current rushed out of his throat in a guttural roar.
“Blade of Glory, go!”
Wild power surged into the obsidian broadsword, making it shine with blinding fiery light. Under the red light, the blade doubled in size. It was close to ten feet long and two feet wide. Outside the actual blade, there was a shadow made up of condensed Wild Power.
He brought it down on Katyusha; the power grew more aggressive. His attack was right when Katyusha still hadn’t regained her balance.
The air cracked like thunder as the sword came down. Bolts of bloody lightning appeared around the sword. It was so powerful it could almost cleave the heavens!
Facing this type of attack directly, Katyusha just felt tumbling waves charging at her. There wasn’t even time to breathe. She could only passively block this fatal attack.
This can’t continue. She was very clear.
She had to use this attack to distance herself from the opponent. As long as she was further away and had time to adjust, she could cast the Thorn of Fate and kill this Beastman warlord.
Clang! Katyusha blocked the attack again.
But this didn’t feel right. The opponent had used an instantaneous rend. When she caught it, she felt electric numbness go from her palm to her arm and then to the rest of her body. She almost went slack.
It was fortunate she could stand her ground, let alone use the momentum to retreat.
“Human Warrior, I don’t know why you’re doing this or how many people you have, but you will all die here today!”
Avatar gritted his teeth. His actions didn’t slow down at all, and he didn’t give Katyusha any chance to recover. Taking advantage of when she was powerless, he roared again.
“Die!”
His sword cut upward. The blade was as fast as lightning. If Katyusha was hit by this, she would be hacked into two. Even if she had nine lives, she would be dead.
Avatar had only used three attacks in all his battles. He would kill with three moves!
Even though Katyusha had the Spear of Victory, something close to being a divine spell, once she made a mistake, she wouldn’t find another chance to attack—even though she only needed one-tenth of a second.
Avatar defeated all the brave Beastmen by himself and canceled the tribal system. This all depended on his amazing combat techniques.
In Firuman, he could definitely rank in the top three for combat. No human could compare to him. Kanorse couldn’t do it; the High Elves definitely couldn’t. He could only find an equal opponent in the dragons or demons.
However, Avatar’s might didn’t just come from combat. He also had a spirit that helped him break free from all restraining tradition and change the world.
Perfect combat techniques, a majestic spirit, and surging murderous intent—the three combined to make Katyusha unable to fight back.
Just as Katyusha was about to be halved, a slender figure streaked out from the corner. This person had a lancet in both hands. One went for Avatar’s neck; the other, to his heart.
At the same time, a young man with darker skin, handsome features, and six dark wings charged from another direction. This person had a spinning shuriken in each hand. He put his hands together and the shurikens combined into a blade going for Avatar’s obsidian sword.
This six-winged fallen angel was extremely fast, almost teleporting. He had charged a second later but was even faster than the Storm Warlord Parmese who was known for his speed. He blocked Avatar’s broadsword at the last instant.
Clang! There was the explosion of metal going through stone. Avatar’s sword didn’t stop or continue. It spun midway and blocked Parmese’s attack.
During the block, Avatar’s thoughts whirred. An almost subconscious thought flashed past his mind. No, there are three of them, and they’re all at the Legendary level. My only advantage is that they aren’t working together now. If I don’t end this now, I’ll die.
With this thought, Avatar started moving. There was no hesitation or pause during this entire process.
These were battle instincts—the terrifying talent of the Beastmen!
During battle, Beastmen always had an almost beastly gut instinct. They could always make the correct decision at the critical moment.
In the history of Firuman, Beastmen always ranked high in the records of single challenges. There was the record of a Level-8 Beastman warlord killing and dying with five Dragon Warriors of the same level.
Beastmen were natural Warriors.
The next instant, Avatar activated his fatal trick. He used the reverberations from when his obsidian broadsword clashed against the opponent’s weapon and retracted a bit. During this, his sword suddenly blurred.
The obsidian sword seemed to become illusory as if formed by thousands of shadows. At the same time, the glow around it consolidated. The wild bloody-red power seemed to solidify. It was blinding.
Parmese was the most familiar with Avatar’s power. Seeing all the sword shadows, he was terrified. “Retreat, he’s putting his all in!”
The fallen angel didn’t mind. “What’s there to be scared of… oh, so powerful!”
At the same time, Avatar activated his fatal trick. Wild Power rushed into the sword, and he hacked forward with all his might.
Instantly, sword shadows filled the air within a 15 feet range. Every shadow was bloody red, and the blades dazzled. They seemed to be illusory but contained extreme power.
This was Avatar’s strongest battle skill: Wild Battle
Wild Battle
Level-11 Master Battle Skill
Effect: The user consolidates all power and murderous intent to explode abruptly. Everything within 15 feet will be pulverized!
