"… Three … Two … One … Fight!"
With the announcement from the system, the preparation time ended and the barrier disappeared.
The battle between Sengoku Sengoku and Trash Alliance had officially begun.
"Pegasus Meteor Punch!"
Once the battle started, the first to attack … was undeniably Pegasus.
Brony's strength and weakness could be summed up in the same sentence — he never overthought things.
No matter what his opponent's strategy was, he would always throw a Meteor Punch at them.
Instantly, Chi channeled his combat aura. Countless white and blue punches rained down on the two members of Sengoku Sengoku like a meteor shower.
"Tsk … Not only Teacher Tsk, but this guy is also very troublesome …" Faced with the unavoidable attacks, Imagawa Masayoshi created a light green shield in front of him to block them. He had thought that such a skill would only pursue speed and attack range, and it would not be too powerful … But when he actually received the attack, he was shocked to find that each of the punches had a very high destructive power. It was far more powerful than what he had imagined.
However, Oda Ai, who stood to the side, did not do anything to counter these attacks. She merely maintained her stance and used the combat aura around her to neutralize the incoming attacks.
"Damn it …" At that moment, Oda Ai's attention was still focused on Teacher Jin. She thought to herself, "He hides at the back and keeps his eyes on us like a tiger watching its prey. At the same time, he has his teammates fight us one against two. Once we reveal our weakness, he will use that chance to kill us instantly. Such a scary man." With that in mind, she thought, "Oh well … Even though the opponent's formation is outside of my plan, since I have teamed up with Imagawa, I will have to use the original strategy …"
"Imagawa!" The next second, Oda Ai suddenly called for her teammate, "Prepare to attack!"
Outsiders might not understand that, but her teammates would understand. Before she finished, Imagawa Masayoshi used his title skill on Oda Ai without hesitation.
— — — Name: Three-Step Phase
Special Ability Type: Active
Consumption: 500 Stamina Points, 50 Sorcery Points
Effect: Create a 'Three-Step Phase' for yourself or your teammates. (Can only be used once after being transported into the scenario. Lasts for 39 seconds. When used on your teammates, the target has to be within your line of sight.)
Remark: The 'Three-Step Phase' is unable to cause physical or non-physical contact with friendly units. The damage caused by the 'Three-Step Phase' is equal to the damage dealt by the user. The 'Three-Step Phase' cannot be destroyed by any effect in the current time dimension.]
She couldn't tell how powerful this Title Skill was just by looking at the description. The description didn't explain what this "Three Steps" was. In fact, to put it more bluntly, the so-called "Three Steps" was just "the self from about three seconds ago."
Take Oda Ai as an example. Counting from the moment Akagawa Masayoshi successfully used his skill on her, Oda Ai's "Three Steps Phase" would appear about three seconds later. From a spectator's point of view, the "Three Steps Phase" would be a translucent, ghost-like Oda Ai. Her every move would be slower than the "present" Oda Ai by three seconds.
No matter what Oda Ai did, her "Three Steps" would do the same thing after a delay. For example, if Oda Ai stood at a certain spot and swung her sword forward, her "Three Steps" would repeat the same action three seconds later, at the same spot and in the same manner. Another example would be if Oda Ai used an S-rank skill that consumed a large amount of HP on a certain target. Three seconds later, her "Three Steps" would replay the exact same skill at the same spot as before.
At this point, many people had already guessed it. Indeed, this title skill that was related to the power of time was created after the Twilight of the Gods.
There was no doubt that this skill was very powerful. Especially when used on a Peerless Master like Oda Ai, it would have the effect of "one plus one is greater than two."
According to Sasaki Akira's original plan, he would encounter at least one of Hong Hu or the Shadow King in the "Battle of the Pillars." At that time, he would let Oda Ai, who had the 'Three-Step Phase', launch a series of fierce attacks. She would definitely be able to kill the opponent who was weaker in terms of physical skills.
However, now the situation has changed. In the face of the combination of Flying Steed and Sensei, this trick may not be able to kill them in seconds (Anyway, Sengoku doesn't think it will work), but relatively speaking … It's better to start with the "weaker" one, and the chance of success is greater.
Therefore, after receiving the buff, Oda Ai moved forward with her sword raised. Her sword was pointed at Flying Pegasus.
Ping!
The first cry had already broken through the heavens, and it took the opportunity to draw the curtains of a round of extremely fast attacks.
Fast! Faster than lightning.
The movement and attack speed of the two had reached the peak. The blade of the sword against the fist of the fist suddenly created a burst of sound of gold and iron clashing.
The sword shadows were endless, and they formed a formation. There was a bit of joy and madness.
The fist was endless, and it spread like wings. The left hand could destroy the sky, and the right hand could crack the earth.
In less than ten seconds, the sword and the fist had collided hundreds of times. The two sides were evenly matched, and no one had the slightest advantage.
But … objectively speaking, Oda Ai was at a disadvantage because the 'Three-Step Phase' did not play the role it should have.
Facing the fierce attacks of Oda Ai and her 'Three-Step Phase', Flying Pegasus made the most correct choice in the first place. He moved quickly in the same direction without stopping for a moment.
This could be said to be the situation that Oda Ai was most afraid of, because such a battle strategy would completely nullify the effect of the 'Three-Step Phase'.
If you think about it a little, you can understand … As long as Brother Ma did not return to the route or direction he had taken in the past three seconds, then the opponent's' Shadow from three seconds ago 'was tantamount to a decoration.
If Oda Ai was facing Hong Hu or Shadow King now, she could naturally rely on her advantage of speed to circle the opponent's body in a "8" shape, or a more complicated pattern of staggered attacks. In that way, the power of the 'Three-Step Phase' could be fully reflected.
However, Flying Pegasus was not slower than Oda Ai in terms of speed. Once he saw through the weakness of the 'Three-Step Phase' and made the reaction described above, Oda Ai could do nothing about it.
"Tsk … He is obviously an idiot, but his combat instincts are surprisingly good …" Oda Ai thought to herself as she continued to attack Flying Pegasus. "Faced with the first move he saw, he made the simplest and most effective response without even thinking. And … this kid is obviously stronger than when he was at S2 …" Thinking of this, a hint of anger flashed in her eyes. "Come to think of it … at that time, it was also him … who forced me to use a 'Consumable Skill' to end up in a situation where both of us perished together … Now that we are fighting back and forth … This is really infuriating! How can a genius like me be on par with an idiot like you?! "
The more Oda Ai thought about it, the angrier she got. She was a genius who could crush most of her opponents with her talent alone. She was also a genius who occupied a lot of the studio's resources. In terms of skills, equipment, and other aspects, she was the best. Even if she encountered the Four Pillar Gods, she would still be able to fight them head-on. However, she was still unable to defeat a hot-blooded idiot who only knew one or two skills. This was no longer something that could be described as "disgraceful."
In her anger, she fell into her old habit of forgetting about the competition and the overall situation. She fell into a state where she swore to fight Flying Pegasus to the death as if there was no one else around.
From this moment on, Oda Ai's attacks were no longer reserved. She did not care about the consumption of her Stamina and Mana, the cooldown of her skills, and the changes in other parts of the battlefield. There was only one thing in her mind now — to kill Flying Pegasus.
If she could maintain her previous calmness, she would have noticed that her teammate, Imagawa Masayoshi, had actually caught up with her and was planning to use his positioning to stop Brony's movement. If Imagawa succeeded, Brony would be in a very dangerous situation in the last ten seconds before the "Three Steps Phase" disappeared.
Unfortunately, Oda Ai did not notice this. Her attention was completely focused on the high-speed attack of Flying Pegasus.
At that moment, Oda Ai, who had changed her strategy and sped up her pace, successfully forced Brony to reveal a flaw.
Suddenly, Oda Ai's ultimate move appeared!
Without seeing where the sword came from, it was difficult to know where death came from.
At the moment when the fighting spirit collided, only the strong would be undefeated.
At the beginning of the killing move, blood was spilled on the battlefield. However, this blood came from two different people.
