Although Porter's expression didn't change in response, there was clear delight in his eyes. Not caring if it was an ambush, he drew his longsword with his aura and swung it at Mufasa!
A bright red 'danger' word that only he could see appeared over Mufasa's head.
He couldn't block it!
Mufasa's heart skipped a beat, and the hand holding the quicksilver longsword shook hard — not to parry, but to deflect the attack!
It should have been able to deflect his opponent's attack and force him into a stunned state, thereby creating an opening for a follow-up combo. However, the city watch officer did not even flinch and easily nullified the deflected force, depriving Mufasa of the chance to follow up with another attack.
Mufasa couldn't help being surprised.
But he didn't know that Porter, who had been keeping a straight face all this while, was even more shocked.
His Dou Qi Cut was actually blocked by a person without Dou Qi? How was that possible?!
Aura was a manifestation of Kratos, the God of War's divine grace, and was essentially a supernatural power similar to magic. After all, Magic Violet was the origin of all magic in this world, and both Magic Violet and Kratos were part of the Seven Divine Fathers. At least, in the eyes of mortals, there was no hard distinction of strength.
The fact that it was a divine power meant that most people couldn't defend against aura no matter how powerful their swordsmanship was, unless they could escape the shackles of rules and achieve a miracle of their own to become a Legendary champion.
Porter would never believe that the young man before him was a Legendary champion. If he was, he would have unleashed his ultimate move after being humiliated, killing them and dragging all of Lancaster down with him.
Likewise, he didn't make any move to cast a spell, so it probably wasn't magic.
Therefore, the only possibility was a divine spell. He was most likely buffed with some sort of divine spell, which was why he could resist Porter's aura! Captain Bort came to his own conclusion.
Whatever the case may be, he had put away his disdain just now. The fact that he could block an aura attack meant that he had transcended mortals and ascended into the realm of the supernatural. He was no longer a being at the mercy of others, and was worthy of Porter's attention.
"I am Bott Marbier, Lancaster Lieutenant, heir of Alton Cobold's swordplay and heir to Lancaster's seal by the Temple of Glory! State your name, Extraordinary One!" He then turned to Mufa and spoke loudly.
The name was so long, and it felt a little cool. Mufasa could not help feeling a little envious.
Hence, after a moment of silence, he mimicked her and said, "I'm a witness to the fall of the Rotten Bones, a lamplighter who explored the Land of the Tragic Death, a treasure hunter at the bottom of the Gray Canyon, a warrior who fought against the merfolk invasion. A normal passerby, Mufasa! "
What f * cking ordinary passersby! Bolt and the young noble cursed inwardly.
Feeling that Mufasa didn't want to expose his identity and hence made up some random titles, Bolt stopped talking and attacked Mufasa again.
It was different from the feeling of the sword swings at the beginning. The city guard's current sword technique was ruthless and strange, and with the support of his Combat Aura, his speed and strength far exceeded that of an ordinary person. If it were any other player, they might have suffered a loss and died on the spot. After all, the abandoned houses were too small for mages and rangers to use their skills freely. Shadow Swordsmen were not adept at direct confrontations, while Clerics would have trouble channeling, while Spirit Swordsmen might just bury themselves …
But Mufasa was an exception. At present, he was the only Swordmaster Player who had chosen the Kengyoku path.
In other words, he had no other abilities apart from his swordsmanship. He had no laser cannons, no way to trade HP for buffs, and no dirty tricks such as throwing sand and hitting bricks.
All he could rely on was his swordsmanship and himself.
Having decided to take the Kengyoku path after being attracted by the class-change demonstration video, it was normal for him to lose to monsters of the same level at the start of his class-change. In fact, he would be in danger if he ran into two or three monsters five or six levels lower than him at once, and his combat ability simply couldn't compare to other Players, often dragging other Players into party-wipes in dungeons.
As time went by, Mufasa gave up on teaming up and tried to solo dungeons instead.
After all, unlike now when Players' levels had increased, the first dungeons were extremely difficult and dangerous for Players with full parties.
At first, Mufasa naturally died in every way he could, almost dropping out of Level 15 due to a moment of carelessness and unable to use Kengyoku.
But at some point in time, Mufasa realized that the monsterlings in the dungeons were becoming too weak to even stand up to a gust of wind. He could see their movements and trajectories clearly, easily parrying or deflecting every single one of them. Even against the Rotten Bones Archbishop, he could take away two-thirds of its HP without taking any damage, before being instakilled by its unavoidable AoE attacks …
That left Mufasa with the misconception that he could even take out the Rotten Bones Archbishop if he had a trustworthy party to help him heal with a shield.
It was a pity that his reputation as the engine of party-wipes had long since spread among the Players. Even the Players who didn't know his name would immediately say things like 'our party is full', 'let me go, bro' or 'here's twenty bucks to buy barbecued pork' when they heard that he was a swordmaster who took the Kengyoku path.
That was why Mufasa, who had given up on his Lord's Light Illuminates the Earth weekly quest, started preaching in Lancaster once again, intending to personally lead some newbies to team up with him.
And it was precisely because of that that Mufasa was able to handle Porter's barrage of attacks with ease … he didn't even have to use See Through to keep up with the pace!
Just like that, the captain who had intended to throw Mufasa into a frenzy and finish him off in one go was now dragged into a violent battle of attrition!
Unlike Mufasa who could maintain his peak form as long as his stamina bar was not empty, Bolt was a human whose will to fight would fall as his stamina was drained. Half a minute after the two exchanged blows, he could not react in time and allowed Mufasa to strike his finger with the hilt of his sword, sending his longsword flying as he could not hold it steady.
But that wasn't all! Porter bellowed inwardly, bursting out every ounce of his combat aura!
The power of the God of War never said that it could only be used on weapons! Porter flashed a sinister smile, and the condensed combat aura shot at Mufasa!
Although Bott's attainments in swordsmanship were not bad, he was still a distance away from being a true powerhouse. He lost more often than he won when fighting with someone of the same level, but he always had the last laugh, because every swordsman would subconsciously lower their guard after knocking down or sending his sword flying.
That being said, the combat aura bullet he unleashed at that moment was actually his strongest move!
But in the very next second, his smile froze on his face. The combat aura bullet he fired with all his might was parried by his opponent!
How was that possible?! Combat aura bullets were not swordsmanship but a pure energy supply. How could it be parried by a parrying technique? That's not combat aura!
Mufasa might have sneered if he could hear his thoughts. 'It's just an aura bullet. I've seen too many of them in PvP against Players, and as long as the word' danger 'doesn't appear above their heads, they could even parry fireballs, ice bullets, tentacles, lime powder, bricks, seafood, and oil roots!'
Be that as it may, Bolt could no longer ask his question because Mufasa did not give him the chance to raise the white flag after parrying the Aura Bullet. Instead, he simply did a somersault behind Bolt and cut off his head with a clean and efficient set of executions!
