Under the moonlight, the two stood facing each other quietly.
Thales looked at Asda in disbelief, then at Black Sword.
'What?
'Renaissance Palace … started a massacre?
'Killed … the crown prince?'
'In Thales' memory, the only thing that fits these two descriptions was … '
Thales gulped. His brain was working furiously. 'What roles did these two guys play in the Bloody Year?'
Asda maintained his chilling smile, but this time, his smile seemed to be mixed with other emotions.
"It's time to get down to business." A strange blue light appeared in Asda's eyes, and it grew brighter. "This time, I will get rid of you once and for all."
As soon as he finished speaking, Asda 'changed'.
Thales was dumbfounded as he watched the blue light in Asda's eyes overflow from his eye sockets. Like the water in a stream, it split into a few tiny branches and covered his face.
From afar, Asda looked as if his skin was chapped, and blue light flashed under the cracks. It was very strange.
Thales felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.
At that moment, he felt that not only did Asda's appearance change, but his entire being had also changed.
'What's going on?'
"Your luck ends here," the Mystic with the blue light flowing on his face said slowly. But this time, it was as if all his emotions had faded from his words. There was not even a hint of fluctuation in his tone. "You will not have the chance to get close to me again."
Just like a puppet with a stiff face.
Black Sword's eyebrows gradually furrowed. Obviously, he had seen Asda like this before.
Black Sword's left hand slowly stroked the ridge of his sword. He bent his knees slightly, lowered his body, and made a posture that Thales found extremely familiar, but completely different from what he remembered.
"It was just a test just now," Black Sword said flatly, pointing the tip of his sword at the strange Asda.
The Mystic's face was expressionless and lifeless. Blue light flowed from his lips from time to time. "No matter what you want to test, it ends here.
The next moment, Black Sword did not say a word. He stomped on the ground with his hind legs and charged forward again!
The Mystic with the flashing blue light did not even look at his opponent. He stared blankly ahead.
This time, Black Sword's charge was obviously faster than the previous time. In just a few seconds, he was already ten steps away from Asda!
The Mystic only raised a hand slowly in the direction where Black Sword was charging from.
Black Sword let out a low growl. His upper body leaned forward, and a surge of power surged from his legs. The speed of his charge increased once again!
"Air is everywhere." The Mystic's unusual and apathetic voice rang slowly. "It fills your entire body, inside and outside your body."
Thales widened his eyes. He felt that something had happened.
Sure enough, the moment Asda raised his right hand as if he had sensed nothing, Black Sword's attacking figure suddenly swayed!
His speed suddenly slowed down.
The blue light on the Air Mystic's face grew brighter. "The air in your lungs has been frozen. It cannot enter or exit. You can't breathe anything."
Black Sword's expression changed, and he clutched his chest with his left hand!
Thales opened his mouth in surprise.
What?
The air in the human body?
Could Asda do this?
As expected, Black Sword seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. His face and eyes began to redden.
His movements changed, and his footsteps began to sway!
Thales looked at him worriedly. He looked at his only chance to escape.
Black Sword supported himself on the ground with his sword. He lowered his head and gritted his teeth.
But in the next second, the scene around Black Sword suddenly blurred in Thales' vision.
At that moment, it was as if some power had blocked Thales' vision, and the latter was a little surprised.
But reality did not allow Thales to think too much — Black Sword had already pulled his sword out of the ground!
His stagnant movements became strangely smooth again at that moment.
Black Sword's body moved. He actually regained his original speed and continued to charge towards Asda!
Thales was puzzled. 'What did Black Sword do?'
"Not a bad response." The Mystic's calm and emotionless voice rang again, answering Thales' question. "Using the Power of Eradication to strengthen and stimulate all the muscles related to breathing, you forcefully inhaled a small amount of air."
Black Sword's body swayed, and he staggered as he rushed towards Asda!
Like a drunkard, his movements had long since lost the fluidity of his first charge. Thales was very worried that he would collapse at any moment.
'And …' Thales frowned. 'If there's no legendary anti-mystic equipment, then wouldn't Asda …'
The Mystic did not seem to care about Black Sword in front of him at all. He was heard saying in an extremely calm voice, "But it can only let you live for a little more than ten seconds."
Black Sword looked at Asda, who was shining with blue light in front of him. He clenched his teeth, as if he was enduring unprecedented pain.
He raised the strange sword in his hand towards Asda!
The light path on the Mystic's face flowed with another wave of blue light.
The next moment, the Mystic's eyes shone with blue light!
No one could see his gaze clearly.
Thales saw that the air around Asda was glowing with a faint blue light. A heavy pressure descended on the air again.
'No.' Thales gritted his teeth and took a step back, maintaining his vision. 'This time, it's not as simple as the pressure!'
* Boom … * A muffled sound rang out!
Thales was shocked to see that, with Asda as the center, the snow on the ground in a circular area around him had visibly lowered by a layer.
It was as if someone had slapped him!
* Thud! *
Black Sword fell to his knees uncontrollably!
Black Sword's right hand was still tightly gripping his sword. The tip of the sword was only a few inches away from Asda.
He knelt in front of Asda, gritted his teeth and growled. His left hand supported the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
It was as if he was carrying a heavy weight on his back, and could not move.
* Shick! *
Black Sword had no choice but to withdraw his sword. The tip of the sword pierced the ground to support his body from collapsing.
'Sh * t.
I've made a mistake … Black Sword is no match for Asda at all. '
Thales clenched his fists, feeling anxious. 'But with such a huge commotion, someone should have noticed, right?'
The Mystic spat out the words mechanically. His voice was lifeless. "Look, once your body is pressured and your reaction speed is slowed down, you become much easier to deal with."
Black Sword knelt on the ground and let out a low, furious growl.
"The luck of surviving a great disaster has allowed you to live for a whole twelve years. Every time, you can escape with your life.
"But this time, you don't have a companion who sacrificed his life to create an opportunity for you to kill me." The blue light on the Air Mystic's face flowed again as he slowly said, "And you don't have a companion who sacrificed his life to save you."
At that moment, Black Sword raised his head with difficulty. His eyes were filled with hatred and anger.
"Monster …" He bit out the word with all his might.
The Mystic shook his head slowly, indifferently. He stretched out his right hand and silently clenched his fist.
In Thales' eyes, the blue light in the air began to brighten. The air around Asda slowly tightened with terrifying force.
* Clang! * Black Sword's strange sword, which was stuck in the ground, was pressed down by a few inches. The sawtooth on the sword rubbed against the rock layer violently, making a piercing noise.
Black Sword's body was slowly pressed down. His left hand and legs, which were propped up on the ground, uncontrollably shrunk towards his torso.
Thales' scalp went numb. He remembered the Mystic's favorite technique: forming a human ball.
'I've experienced it myself, haven't I?'
Black Sword's body trembled more and more violently. His body also shrank under the compressed air pressure.
His bones began to crackle.
Black Sword let out a painful roar.
However, his right hand was still tightly gripping the hilt of his sword.
It was as if it was his life.
'It's over.'
Thales sighed.
But at that moment …
Black Sword in Thales' vision blurred again.
The second prince's heart skipped a beat.
Based on his previous experience, this meant that Black Sword …
* Crack … *
A strange sound came faintly from the ground.
The Mystic seemed to have realized something. His eyes flickered and a blue light flashed across his face. "You …"
In the next second, the ground where Black Sword was crawling, starting from the point where his sword was stuck in the ground, let out a crisp cracking sound!
* Bang! *
The ground beneath Black Sword suddenly cracked!
* Crash … *
His entire body sank into the cracked rock layer!
The Air Mystic turned his head abruptly. The blue light in his eyes flickered rapidly.
At that moment, Thales saw everything clearly through his vision. Black Sword twisted his sword, unwilling to let go, and pulled horizontally on the ground!
He forcefully pulled out a hole in the rock layer!
The terrifying air pressure seemed to have found a vent. It drilled into the hole and broke the entire rock layer. Then, more and more air seeped into the gradually cracking rock layer.
The heavy pressure in the air suddenly lessened!
Thales was stunned. 'If that's the case …'
Sure enough, Black Sword, who was curled up on the ground, was no longer restrained by the air. He stepped on the continuously sinking rock layer and suddenly leaped up!
At that moment, Black Sword's eyes were clear, pure, and determined.
He looked at the expressionless Mystic and the latter's eyes, which were glowing with a blue light.
Black Sword took another step forward and approached Asda's range.
The Mystic suddenly raised his hands slightly. His body was pushed by the air and floated backwards!
It was as if he was escaping from Black Sword.
But before he could float too far away, Black Sword's right hand trembled in a terrifying manner!
A strange power surged. Black Sword's blade pierced Asda in a steady, powerful, and accurate manner amidst the turbulent airflow!
Thales inhaled sharply and watched Black Sword's instant counterattack.
The blade pierced towards Asda's head.
The blue light on Asda's face shone brightly again.
* Clang! *
A dull sound was heard!
The blade seemed to have collided with the hardest metal. It was blocked by a strange transparent barrier in front of the tip of Asda's nose!
Thales furrowed his brows. He saw a blue barrier appear in front of Asda, blocking Black Sword's weapon.
'Air wall …' He looked at the blue ball of light in Asda's left hand and said to himself.
"You always find a way out of desperate situations," the Mystic said lifelessly. "What a beautiful counterattack."
Black Sword roared furiously. He exerted strength in his legs, charged forward, and thrust his blade forward!
Asda floated backwards, but the blade remained in front of him, as if it could not break through the air wall.
It looked as if Black Sword was pushing Asda backwards.
'But …' Thales was shocked. 'They're floating towards me!'
"Try to kill me again?" The Mystic's voice was cold and calm, as if the thing in front of him was not a sword, but a fly. "You already knew that I can't be killed.
"Then why are you still defending?" Black Sword's eyes widened in anger. He held his sword with both hands and did not stop moving, as if he was determined to break through the air wall even if it cost him his life.
"It's my habit." The Mystic floated backwards and said flatly, "I don't like people getting close to me."
Thales felt his scalp go numb as he watched them float towards him. He was about to run away.
But at this moment, the situation changed again.
Black Sword suddenly sheathed his sword and quickly turned around.
He paused on the ground, gave up on continuing to thrust forward, and completely left Asda's side!
As if he did not expect Black Sword's action, the light on the Mystic's face flashed.
In the next second, Black Sword rolled to the side and landed —
Beside Thales!
Thales was shocked. Before he could react, he felt something tighten around his shoulder!
He turned his head in shock and found that Black Sword was already standing behind him, gripping his left shoulder tightly!
'How …' Thales' mind was in a mess.
"Black Sword!"
The Air Mystic, who had been lifeless since the beginning as if he had lost all emotions, roared for the first time in a loud voice, "How dare you!"
Asda let go of his left hand that was maintaining the air wall and raised his right hand.
But at that moment, Thales only felt a chill on his neck.
That strange black longsword was already placed horizontally in front of his throat!
Asda's hand stopped in mid-air.
Black Sword's cough rang behind Thales' ears.
It made his heart pound.
Thales came to a realization.
'Black Sword … is holding me hostage?
'I …' Thales resisted the urge to complain. He felt bitter in his heart. 'Why am I so unlucky?!'
The Air Mystic watched all of this. The light on his face flashed more and more rapidly. He frowned. "You always surprise me."
"I told you, I was just testing you just now." Black Sword coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood. "To make sure that my skills didn't deteriorate, and that your response didn't change drastically.
"Then, I found an opportunity like this."
Black Sword panted and slowly tightened his grip on Thales' hand. "Is this boy very important to you?"
The blue light in the Mystic's eyes dimmed, revealing his gaze.
The light on Asda's face also gradually dissipated.
Thales flashed an ugly smile at him. He wanted to shrug, but his shoulder was already firmly gripped by Black Sword and he could not move.
"Even if you slit his throat, I can use air pressure to stop the bleeding," Asda said solemnly as he looked at Black Sword who was holding Thales hostage. "You know it's futile."
Hearing that, Thales breathed a sigh of relief.
Until Black Sword's next words.
"Yes." Black Sword sighed. He switched the sawtooth side of the sword in his hand and continued to press against Thales. "So, I will directly cut off his entire head …
"Can you help him put it back together again?"
Thales' breathing stagnated.
'Na … Nani?'
"I'll try." Asda's eyebrows relaxed as if he did not care. His eyes were cold. "Threatening a Mystic? Let's see what kind of price I will make you and your Black Street Brotherhood pay. "
Black Sword snorted softly.
The blade in his hand slowly approached the boy's neck.
Asda watched his movements and slowly lowered his eyebrows.
"Wait — wait!"
A clear boy's voice rang out.
Black Sword and Asda froze in unison. Both of them turned their gazes.
