Chapter 647 - You’re Great, but You Talk Too Much (2/2)

An instant later, Nozama was affected. His usage of energy was no longer perfect. His sword slowed down a bit while Link’s sped up. Moments later, there was a piercing cling. Their weapons had clashed but didn’t separate. They’d “stuck” together. Link and Nozama’s power clashed within, and their weapons vibrated, creating rings of shockwaves in the air.

When the shockwaves appeared, they lifted the black dust on the ground. The dust in the air thickened; their figures were barely visible.

In the fight, Link was slightly weaker, but his heart was calm. He could multitask without making mistakes. Whenever he wasn’t strong enough, he would use some small spells to help himself and disrupt Nozama. So within one second, they’d clashed dozens of times but were at a stalemate.

One second later, Nozama realized he couldn’t win and instantly became furious.

He knew the fury would affect his mindset, but he couldn’t control himself. When faced with ordinary opponents, these emotions would make him more violent. He could intimidate his opponent and use that to his advantage. In countless fights through the millennium, he’d used his aura to win every time.

But this time, he knew it would be useless.

One’s so-called aura was just a mental image. Link was able to see through these psychological things. If Nozama lost his temper, his opponent would be unbothered while his own mind would be affected. If his mind was affected, he wouldn’t be able to multitask and use spells like Link.

In a short-range fight, using spells seemed fancy. But if there was a mistake and a spell backlash happened, it would be disastrous. He could get killed instantly!

His murderous intent grew; the bloody light in his eyes grew heavier. Nozama unconsciously let out guttural growls.

But Link was still as calm as ever. He sensed Nozama’s changes. The power from the man’s sword grew stronger, but they were less condensed. The threat towards Link decreased. He could easily block them with some battle techniques.

They clashed for one second, two seconds, three seconds… At eight seconds, they were still tied.

“I’m going to kill you!” Nozama growled like a beast. He brought his sword down to force Link away.

Link used this chance to retreat. At the same time, Nozama also stepped back and put his sword away to cast spells.

He’d lost in terms of battle techniques. He could only defeat Link with spells. Regular spells were ineffective, but he could use a spell to activate a large-scale physical attack. For example, a meteor shower could smash Link to bits!

But then something happened. Something moved in his vision, and a sword appeared. It was Link’s attack. He had the same thought as Nozama and had acted earlier!

Nozama had already retracted his sword. His sword was six feet long and couldn’t turn easily. Link’s sword appeared under his rib and he couldn’t block it even if he had a sword. Seeing that he was about to be stabbed in the heart, Nozama growled and grasped the sword tip with his bare hands.

Crack! He successfully grasped the sword, but blood flowed from the cuts on his palm.

“You’re looking for death!” Stimulated by the pain, Nozama’s emotions went out of control. He forgot all about the God of Destruction’s order to capture Link alive. As his hand flashed, a runestone appeared. He added in dark power, and the runestone glowed with a dark, watery halo.

But at that time, he vaguely saw a white light in the dust before him. Then the sword in his hand disappeared.

This discovery shocked Nozama awake. No, he’s going to escape!

Looking at the dark runestone in his hand, he immediately gave up on the destructive spell. Picking up his sword, he rushed forward. But 300 feet later, it felt wrong. He didn’t think that Link would keep retreating. Three hundred feet was enough for Link to use a transmission spell and escape.

As expected, when he finally rushed to Link, he only saw a shred of white light.

“Nozama, you’re strong, and you’re great, but you just talk too much.”

Crack. Nozama’s fury erupted, and he crushed the runestone to powder. After that, he composed himself and checked the spatial ripples left in the air.

Hmph, do you plan on running for your entire life?

Next time Nozama caught up, he planned on using a spell from afar to stop Link. He’d like to see what Link could do then!
