Chapter 484 - FLYING HEARTS (1/2)

SPARKS flew from the collision of the sword and the dagger.  The sword was suddenly surrounded with golden flames.  One could see that the owner of the sword wanted to end this unexpected battle as soon as possible.  But would Luo Yan let him?  Of course not.

Luo Yan could feel the tremendous heat from the flame.  If his daggers were made of ordinary materials, it would have probably melted by now.  Black flashes of shadow appeared on the daggers, competing against the golden flame.

The golden-haired young man seemed to be surprised seeing that.  Luo Yan took advantage of the other's temporary gaffe and used his [8th Movement Dance] skill.

His body moved on his own to perform the said skill.  His aggressive attacks appeared like he was performing a traditional sword dance.  Except that instead of a sword, he was holding two daggers.  His movements were full of grace and fluidity.  With his long white hair moving along with his every attack, his actions just looked extremely beautiful.

But Xia Lei – the golden dragon – didn't appreciate any of that beauty.  No, it was probably more accurate to say that he had no time to appreciate it.  Because each attack was very heavy.  And it just became heavier and heavier.  It's not just the power, it's also the speed.

Black flashes also appeared on the daggers with each attack.  He noticed that every time those black flashes appeared, the flame on his sword decreased.  As if it was being devoured.

He was not really that far off.  The shadow didn't 'devour' his flames, it just simply 'covered' it.  Just like how shadows could cover a lot of things as long as the right amount of light was present.

It's an inherent attribute of the daggers Yu Jiao made for Luo Yan.  As long as it encountered another element, it would try to 'cover' it with its shadows.  As if it didn't want other weapons to 'overshadow' it.  The daggers were kind of greedy that way.  And Luo Yan absolutely loved it.

On the other hand, the [8th Movement Dance] which he was using right now was a skill that produced eight consecutive attacks in a dance-like manner.  Each attack was stronger than the last, making the eight attack the strongest.  It's attacking power was not that high but it only had one second cooldown.  So, it didn't really matter much as long as one continuously used it.

Luo Yan didn't really use it for that.  He just used it to find a gap, so he could wound Dragnar.  Once he did, the effect of the Eternal Lotus would activate and the other's time would stop for three seconds.  That was enough to deal considerable damage to the other.

Although he truly wanted for them to have a proper fight at the final tournament, since Dragnar attacked him, then he could only response.  He couldn't just possibly stand here and wait for his attack, right?  He participated in this carnival to win, not to lose.  So, even if it was a waste to eliminate this dragon here, he would do it.

But he knew that it wouldn't be that easy.  After all, the other was a Legendary race.  Not only that, he could back that race with his skills.  Meaning he's not just a dragon in name.

Xia Lei also didn't plan on fighting this white-haired elf - Noctis.  He was confident that he could defeat the other.  But if he did do so, he wouldn't hear the end of it from his sister.

He knew how much of a fan his sister was of this Noctis.  Drawing fan-arts of him with another guy, gushing about him in her Weibo account.  Xia Lei was even sure that in this Rookie Carnival Xia Li was cheering more for Noctis than him, her own brother.
