Some people had a smooth-sailing life, studying, working, and marriage, while some people's lives were full of troubles and accidents. Even if they went out to buy a bottle of cola, they might encounter a convenience store robbery or buy something delicious.
Rorschach knew that he was definitely the latter.
"Clang!"
The elite battle axe and the broken longsword repeatedly clashed. The terrifying impact sent Roxia flying, while the tall elf's body floated in the air like a piece of paper.
In the next second, when the battle axe heavily chopped down, Rorschach had already disappeared.
"The difference in strength is too great, I can't fight recklessly."
A battle between professional Warriors generally wouldn't last too long.
In a short period of probing, one would be able to grasp the opponent's strengths and weaknesses. If he could fight, he would naturally fight. If he couldn't … he would definitely run away.
Apart from the huge difference in strength, the sudden death after several hours of bloody battle was most likely the reason why one couldn't retreat.
But Rorschach now had no such reason.
"Only a fool would fight recklessly with a brute."
Rorschach's Divine Art of Camouflage had already been practiced to perfection. Although it was only for a moment, and Salia also lost sight of Rorschach's position, that one second was enough for Rorschach to shoot out his claws and display his amazing escape skills.
"As long as I enter the pursuit and forest battle that I'm good at, traps, ambushes, sniping, and camouflage, even if you have infinite strength, you will still be defeated."
As always, Rorschach's way of thinking was to avoid the opponent's advantage and find ways to pull the opponent into his own rhythm. Using his own battle style, he tried to crush the weak with the strong.
But was it that simple?
"Divine Incantation, Beast Cage!"
Just as he reached the edge of his vision, before he could escape, a roar sounded behind him. And the whole world changed because of it.
It was a world of thunderstorms. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and thunderstorms were constantly falling. The whole world was filled with thunder and lightning, and the ground was filled with rivers of lightning. Only the small black stone pillars provided a foothold.
"Teleportation magic again?"
Rorschach's experience from that day resurfaced in his mind, but he soon realized that something was wrong. The surrounding environment felt unreal, just like virtual reality in VR.
His innate ability was also constantly reminding him that there was a problem here.
"… The legendary Domain power? Is this an expert above the Legend rank? "
Rorschach remembered that he had once inquired about what the experts above the legendary level were like. What left a deep impression on him was probably the ability to "reshape the world with one's own thoughts and turn illusions into reality".
At that time, he had even complained, "What's the difference between this and the gods in the legends? If they want you to die, you'll really die." In the end, what he got was, "It doesn't make any difference to the current you. At least you still have time to choose a way to die."
[Big Brother, hang in there. At least this isn't a direct offensive domain power. It's just an ability to restrict both sides to one battlefield. It won't have a direct impact on the battle.]
Loli's calm words gave Roxia some confidence. However, everyone understood that this was nothing more than empty words to comfort him on a psychological level.
Wouldn't have a direct impact on the battle? Restricting the opponent's movement and forcing them into an environment where they had to fight head-on, forcing them to choose their best combat environment and fighting style? This was even more overboard than a direct offensive ability.
"This is my world, the Beast Fighting Cage, a world where you can only enter and not retreat."
Salia's cold voice sounded once again. She stood on a stone pillar that only allowed her to stand on. She lifted her heavy dragon spear.
"Fourteen footholds, seven for each person. If you're forced to a dead end, you'll die."
Rorschach had already noticed that these footholds weren't randomly chosen.
The ten pillars were lined up in a row, and the distance between each other was just one jump away. It would be quite difficult to jump directly to the end.
This perfect distance was enough for both sides to fight. The one who was forced to retreat would have to choose the next foothold. The loser kept retreating until all seven footholds were gone. Naturally, they would fall into the Lightning Pool.
"Hey, hey, hey, you're even more overboard than that bastard Adam! Is this even a fair duel? Forcing an agility-based game job class to fight head-on with a barbaric bull demon like you, this is obviously a public execution. "
Forcing others to the point where they could only fight head-on and not retreat, and still making it sound like a fair duel? This was completely unreasonable behavior. It was truly overboard.
"… Then, I'll start from the last stone pillar."
After saying this, Salia directly jumped onto the last pillar. Behind her was the Lightning Pool, a pillar with no way to retreat.
Even Rorschach didn't expect that such a low-level provocation that was only pretending to complain would actually be effective.
But in the next moment, Rorschach understood from her eyes that were filled with fighting spirit. This bastard, she had completely underestimated him. From the very start, she knew that it was impossible for him to retreat!
Taking a deep breath, Rorschach knew that it was impossible for him to retreat.
"Don't even think about retreating to stall for time. If you retreat one step, there will be a second step. Cowardice and worrying about personal gains and losses are all fatal."
In an instant, Rorschach understood how this Beast Fighting Arena worked, but he still had a bitter smile on his face.
"Damn it, this seems to be the combat style that I'm the worst at."
Understanding this didn't mean that he would be able to win. The Domain World's forcefully limited combat style directly rendered Rorschach's best tricks useless.
However, Rorschach didn't have any other choice, because this Domain World was a part of his opponent's power system, and it was even the most core part.
At the end of the day, this was still a battle between the strong and the weak. It was just that this type of battle was even crueler. It seemed fair, but in reality, there was no room for tricks at all.
"Roar! Roar! This is a sacrifice to Mount Sainte! "
Rorschach stepped onto his own stage, and the entire Lightning Pool began to boil. The moment he roared, a battle axe that tore through the wind came crashing down like thunder.
"… I can't dodge this."
The moment Rorschach's entire body was filled with power, it was as if time had stopped.
"Chi."
The crisis of survival and the bitter cultivation of a Warrior Monk erupted at this moment. The Chi that filled his entire body greatly strengthened Rorschach's physical strength and abilities. The strengthened physical body also gave him better vision, hearing, reflexes, and combat instincts.
In just one second, Rorschach could see the shadow of the Thunder Axe attached to the dragon spear even more clearly, as if it had stopped moving.
It seemed like both a spear and an axe. Thunder roared on it, and thunder dragons roared between the axes. This was no longer a simple weapon attack. Even a Legend-rank mage who specialized in thunder magic would be unable to instantly condense such powerful thunder elements.
For a pure warrior to be able to use such a powerful thunder attack, this familiar material and elemental waves meant that this dragon spear was probably a top-level thunder stone.
"Flame."
Flames condensed in Roxia's hands and instantly attached to the blade of his sword. When the patched sword was swung out, it still condensed a three-meter-long flame blade.
Elemental attacks naturally needed to be countered by elemental attacks.
Furthermore, according to Aishi's foundational four-element theory of creation, the thunder element was a derivative of the wind element. Among the four elements, the fire element countered the wind element. Rorschach's flame blade should be able to counter Salia's thunder spear.
At this moment, Salia's eyes revealed a hint of surprise. She didn't expect that her young opponent would actually have the ability to cast magic.
But the result was …
"It's useless, useless, useless! Such a small flame is laughable! "
The thunder spear didn't stop attacking, but Rorschach's flames silently disappeared.
Water countered fire, but a fire could easily evaporate a bucket of water. The difference in quantity and quality made Rorschach's seemingly mighty flame blade seem meaningless.
The flames on the blade dissipated, revealing the old, patched sword. However, Rorschach still had a smile on his face.
"Yo, look at your right leg."
Before cutting off the opponent's head, a warrior's mind wouldn't be shaken. Her opponent's words were ignored, so Salia had no reason to lower her head.
However, the sharp pain on her right leg made her realize that it wasn't a lie. Even so, she still didn't lower her head!
"Clang!!"
This time, although it was inconceivable that the patched longsword wasn't damaged, Roxia, who was at a disadvantage, was still sent flying. He could only roll in the air and land on a stone pillar behind him.
At this moment, Salia lowered her head and realized that a colorless and transparent thin dagger was stuck in her thigh. There was also a colorless and invisible spider web.
"Playing with fire is just a cover for your little trick? What an interesting magic show, but not only is it meaningless, but … I've also caught you! "
With a sudden force, the spider dagger was stuck in her thigh. Then, she pulled with all her strength, and Rorschach who was on the other end of the thread was sent flying!
"Damn it, what kind of monster is this!"
Just as Rorschach was about to fall into the Lightning Pool, he suddenly shook his right hand and flew back to the next landing point.
Before this, in order to prevent falling into the Lightning Pool, Rorschach had left his spider dagger at a few landing points.
Seeing this, Salia took another step forward and silently swung her dragon spear.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
After two thunderous booms, the two landing points behind her were reduced to rubble. Following the rules of the battle, the Guardian of the Mountains only destroyed the supporting points behind her and blocked the possible loopholes that her opponent could use.
