'Aida, brandish your blade.
'Fight like a Holy Elf.
'We are the strongest race. We can even defeat the Great Dragon.'
Aida opened her eyes abruptly and her expression turned cold.
Countless moves entered her mind in the blink of an eye.
From extreme stillness to extreme movement, she imitated the graceful figure of a knight in her memory. In an instant, she was only three steps away from Kaslan.
The wind howled and the machete swept out like a gust of wind.
In the next second, she took advantage of the fact that her opponent's Soul Slayer Pike was too long and could not be retrieved. She swung her blade like lightning!
Kaslan, expressionless and filled with only murderous intent, instinctively wanted to attack like before.
But he felt a chill down his neck.
'Danger.'
His consciousness blurred, he instinctively reacted.
The tavern owner's left hand twitched and the Soul Slayer Pike quickly slid back!
In an instant, his right hand had already grasped the pike a foot behind the pike and turned the pike into a handgun.
Kaslan completed his defense in an instant. The pitch-black pike blade faced the machete.
Aida's heart trembled.
She had held back a portion of her strength from the lightning attack just now so that she could unleash it again at any time.
If her opponent were to counterattack like before and neutralize her attack …
She would be able to chop off Kaslan's head before she was pierced by the Soul Slayer Pike.
'What a pity.
'Forget it.'
The elf found a ghostly figure in the vast sea of memories, and found that unique attack.
Aida's eyes lit up. She changed the direction of her blade halfway.
* Swoosh swoosh! Swoosh swoosh! * The blade slashed through the air three times!
The blade turned three times in a row and launched three feints.
Kaslan felt chills from his abdomen, left arm, and chest.
However, to Aida's surprise, Kaslan stood still in the face of the dazzling attack. His eyes were red and the pike tip stopped in its original spot.
'Every slash can turn into a killing move in an instant. But he's so calm?
Or is it because he has abandoned his consciousness and is fighting purely based on instinct? '
Aida clenched her teeth. The last feints turned into a killing move.
The blade finally slid strangely towards Kaslan's right shoulder. It was about to chop off his right arm!
At this moment, Kaslan suddenly moved again.
His feet and hands moved quickly. The pike tip was positioned in front of the blade.
The tip of the spear once again met the scimitar!
Aida frowned fiercely and withdrew her machete.
Her fear of the Soul Slayer Pike forced her to avoid its blade.
Aida sighed inwardly.
This round of attacks had been completely broken by him, so he could only look for another opportunity.
This old man was actually able to accurately grasp the location of her attack.
The first sneak attack did not work, and the three feints of the hidden killer moves also did not work.
Instead, he had forcefully used his body and the spear's edge to neutralize her attack.
The fourth time.
This was the fourth time her killer move was broken.
In her long life, she had seen countless battles and countless supreme class warriors. Even though most of the battles between supreme class warriors ended in an instant, in Aida's memory, there were still a few supreme class elites who left a deep impression on her.
Her elder sister's terrifying aura and oppressive force during battle could practically drive her opponent crazy; Chara, who always smiled, was a mysterious existence whose movements were so exquisite that he could carve flowers with an axe; the taciturn Midier was known for his continuous and terrifying killer moves that did not care about sacrificing himself.
Old Scarback liked to use faintly discernible lurking and stalking to torture his enemy's mind; the fickle and frivolous Keira was best at turning the tide of a battle between life and death.
The pedantic Stokian excelled at maintaining a steady rhythm and an impregnable iron wall defense; the ill-intentioned Knight Lorsan excelled at the explosive assault that was like a thunderbolt descending from the heavens; the vampire Parrale was used to endless feints that were difficult to distinguish between real and fake, elusive, and hidden.
Heart of the Rain's twin swords could launch an attack that was faster than the speed of sound in the blink of an eye. Lazybones Zakriel, on the other hand, was an all-rounded genius knight. He was skilled in probing and observing the enemy's every flaw.
However, this' Earth Shaker 'Kaslan in front of her was able to neutralize her attacks at the very last moment. Every time, it was a miracle, as if he had escaped from death's door.
Her attacks, which were perfectly imitated from the legendary elites, seemed to be instantly seen through by the old man, whether it was Lorsan's thunderous surprise attack or Parrale's endless feints.
And this was under the condition that he had sealed off his consciousness and was purely relying on his instincts on the battlefield.
The undefeated legend of the battlefield, Aida, who had repeatedly failed in her attacks, sighed. 'How did Zakriel face this monster all those years ago?'
But the battle was not over yet.
Aida, who was about to continue attacking with the advantage of her weapon's agility, was shocked to find that the enemy's counterattack came earlier than she expected!
* Clang! * The spearhead spun rapidly.
Kaslan's eyes were bloodshot. The Soul Slayer Pike in his hand shot out again. It twisted and spun in a strange manner, bypassing Aida's previous block, and went straight for her chest.
The image of Stokian's impenetrable iron wall defense appeared in Aida's mind.
In the next second, in the face of the fatal thrust, Aida, who was good at dexterity, did not dodge. Instead, she unexpectedly met the attack with her scimitar!
The elven scimitar struck the Soul Slayer Pike's ferocious spearhead.
* Clang! *
An ear-piercing metallic sound was heard.
For the first time since the start of the battle, Aida's exquisite scimitar and Kaslan's pike collided violently. The force of the collision was so great that there was nothing fancy about it.
Almost instinctively, Kaslan swept the pike with force!
Aida's body trembled slightly. Boundless force surged from the pike.
At that moment, all the bones in her body trembled. The joints in her arms even let out a groan, followed by numbness and intense pain.
The elf was shocked.
'This force …
'Is he really more than sixty years old?'
Her legs swayed. She was about to be swept down.
The outcome of a battle between supreme class fighters was usually decided in an instant. Falling down in such a battle meant death.
Aida's eyes dimmed.
'This is the end.'
When she was young, her elder sister's teachings reappeared before her eyes.
'Yes, those memories that have been sealed away for a long time have returned.
'Those battle skills that I accumulated through sweat and hard work before I awakened my psychic psionic ability.
'Those were once beautiful, carefree days.'
She learned how to fight against the duplicitous and cunning armed dwarves. She learned how to deal with the extremely hypocritical and immoral desert orcs. She learned how to deal with the similarly nimble but vicious and narrow-minded elven distant relatives from Late Dusk Kingdom. She learned how to deal with the pretentious but actually barbaric vampires in Grand Banquet Hill. She learned how to deal with the stupid, dull, and ridiculous humans who possessed the Power of Eradication. The above adjectives came from her elder sister, whom she respected, feared, loved, and adored.
'And the enemy before me …
'A flawless warrior. I've really seen it.'
At this moment, the image of a timid boy suddenly appeared in her mind.
'It's him.
'That boy.'
Aida smiled bitterly. She still remembered how she watched him grow into a dashing and elegant teenager year by year. She watched him become a hearty and handsome young man. She watched him be refined into the most terrifying warrior. She watched him leave when everything was within his grasp.
'And his unique battle posture.
'Wait.
His battle! '
In less than a millisecond, Aida's gaze refocused.
In the next second, just as she was about to fall to the ground, Aida's wrist suddenly twisted.
Aida's blade cleverly stuck to the Soul Slayer Pike's shaft. She did not exert force to resist. Instead, her legs left the ground and she allowed the force to push her so that she regained her balance in midair.
She floated horizontally along the pike.
In the next second, her legs touched the ground alternately. But every time she touched the ground, she rose up like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water. Her figure continued to advance towards Kaslan!
Immersed in his battle instincts, Kaslan shook his pike expressionlessly, wanting to shake Aida off.
But the elf was like a spider that could not be shaken off. She stuck to the pike and approached Kaslan at high speed.
Kaslan once again sensed danger from his instincts.
* Hiss — *
Aida's gaze was firm. Her blade rubbed against the pike's shaft. As she advanced, she slashed at Kaslan's spear-wielding hand.
Her blade, which was pressed against the pike, firmly controlled the direction of the Soul Slayer Pike, not giving the enemy any chance to block or counterattack.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
The moment the blade was about to touch his hands, Kaslan let go of the Soul Slayer Pike without hesitation!
Kaslan's left leg retreated in an instant. He twisted his waist, pulled his left shoulder back, arched his right shoulder, and clenched his right fist.
Aida's scimitar slashed at his chest.
But Kaslan was faster than Aida.
His right fist punched out like a thunderbolt!
* Thud! *
There was a deafening thud.
Kaslan's heavy punch landed on Aida's right shoulder.
* Crack — *
The chilling sound of bones cracking came from Aida's shoulder inch by inch.
Aida's face contorted in pain. She gritted her teeth and moaned in pain.
At that moment, the elf lost her balance and fell to the ground. Her scimitar left her hand.
But the sense of danger in Kaslan's heart only increased. He raised his head like a startled beast, searching for a threat.
In the next second, Kaslan felt a chill run down his spine.
Kaslan lowered his head subconsciously and reached for his left chest with his left hand!
* Clang! *
There was another clear metallic sound.
At some point in time, Aida's scimitar, which should have fallen along with its owner, appeared in front of Kaslan's chest.
The blade stabbed into the tavern owner's left chest.
Blood gushed out.
Aida fell to the ground powerlessly.
* Clang! *
At that moment, the Soul Slayer Pike fell to the ground with a clang.
Aida also fell heavily. Her right hand lay limp on the ground as if she was paralyzed.
Her left hand was still trembling in the air, maintaining the posture of throwing the scimitar.
The blade trembled in front of Kaslan's chest.
Kaslan finally snapped out of his daze. He withdrew from the instinctive state that only knew how to fight.
A cold wind blew past.
The battle between the Limiteers had ended without any warning.
Aida lay on the ground. The bones in her right shoulder were completely shattered. Her face was contorted and she could not stop trembling.
On the other hand, Kaslan panted in pain, but his tall body still stood tall and firm.
The victor had been decided.
The legendary 'Earth Shaker', Kaslan Lampard's left hand was dripping with blood in front of his chest. It was tightly gripping Aida's scimitar.
It was not allowed to advance even an inch.
Aida, who was suffering from the serious injury in her shoulder, was stunned.
Drenched in cold sweat, she looked at the scimitar in front of her opponent's chest in shock. Then, she looked at Kaslan, who was gripping the blade.
"How could this be?"
She mumbled, as if she could not believe what was happening in front of her.
Just now, the moment Kaslan launched his fatal punch, Aida's right hand trembled. She let go of the scimitar in the air and switched the hilt to her left hand.
It was also at the moment when Kaslan shattered her right shoulder with his punch and she could not defend herself, Aida sent out the scimitar in her left hand.
It went straight for Kaslan's heart.
That was the final blow that decided the victor. It was also the final blow that decided life and death.
A shocked expression lingered on Aida's face. She should have pierced Kaslan's heart at the last moment, at the cost of her own life.
'But …'
Aida looked at the blade stuck in front of her opponent's chest. She shook her head in disbelief.
'Impossible.
'Impossible!
'I clearly, clearly …'
Kaslan saw the situation before him clearly. He panted in pain.
Enduring the pain, he pulled out the scimitar that was an inch out of his chest and threw it to his side.
Blood flowed out of his chest.
The scimitar fell to the ground, letting out a metallic clang.
But Kaslan's heart was clear. He did not manage to grab the scimitar that was aimed at his heart in time.
There was another reason why he was still alive.
Amid the intense pain in her right shoulder and the numbness in her right arm, Aida, who had fallen to the ground, shuddered. Then, her limp left hand drooped miserably.
She lost.
"Impossible …" the elf, who could no longer fight back, mumbled in shock.
"You weren't wearing armor, and you didn't block."
Aida's face was gloomy. She lay weakly on the ground, enduring the intense pain in her right shoulder.
With great difficulty, she said, "I should have pierced your heart before you reached out … but …"
Kaslan's gaze froze slightly. Under Aida's glare, he slowly sighed.
"Why?" Aida's face was covered in cold sweat. She stared at Kaslan, who could not stop panting.
Struggling, she hissed, "Why can't I kill you?"
Kaslan fell to the ground on his butt.
He was panting, but he revealed a relieved smile.
The sun shone on the street. The north wind whistled and blew past the two opponents, one lying on the ground and the other sitting.
"Instructor Aida … Cough, cough … You …" Kaslan coughed violently and said with difficulty, "I'm sorry.
