There was a clanging sound, and the blade sliced through the air.
Takeda Tomo's sneak attack came suddenly and quickly, and naturally … it was effective.
At that moment, Weary Dream was being attacked from the front and back, and was about to be injured.
Fortunately, he also had teammates …
At the same time that Takeda Tomo slashed out with his blade, Shadow King's Golem had also charged forward.
As the Shadow King's core summon, the former Blood Golem had undergone many evolutions, and now it had become a new S-Grade creature — Platinum Golem.
This golem didn't have any special abilities, and there was only one reason why it was classified as S-Grade — strong.
How strong?
Let's put it this way … in terms of physical skills and HP, it was 30% stronger than a first-rate expert like Takeda Tomo.
Right now, the Platinum Golem was the first to arrive. It flashed to Takeda Tomo's side, and punched at the blade in the opponent's hand.
Bang —
The punch that could shatter mountains and split seas landed, and Takeda Tomo's blade suddenly changed direction.
Not only was Takeda Tomo's sneak attack thwarted, but she was also immediately in danger …
"Tsk … such a large summon, but it's still so fast …" Before the match, Takeda Tomo had also studied Shadow King's recordings. She knew that the Platinum Golem was very strong, but she had never seen this creature's full speed in the recordings. But now, in a real battle, she finally experienced it.
Bang bang bang bang …
She didn't have time to think. The Platinum Golem's follow-up move was already here. It wasn't anything special … it was just a double-punch while moving at high speed.
But Takeda Tomo had no choice but to use all her strength to deal with this simple move, because she was firmly suppressed by the golem in terms of speed and strength.
On the other hand, Date Cheng and Weary Dream's attack and defense had already entered a realm that was difficult to watch.
Date Cheng, who had pulled out his second black blade … His figure instantly turned into a blur, and his speed reached an extreme level. As he brandished his two blades, his movements were so exquisite that they were like a torrential storm.
Facing Weary Dream, who was stronger than him and wielded a long weapon, Ida used the most correct way to fight — — close, increase his speed, and combo attacks.
Due to the difference in the length of the two weapons, Ida's Dual Blade Stream possessed two different types of slashes. Therefore, regardless of whether it was close combat or normal close combat, it was still able to display high efficiency. On the other hand, Weary Dream, who used a weapon like the "halberd", was at a disadvantage in close combat. Not only would the weapon's edge not be able to strike the enemy, the length of the halberd would also become a burden when adjusting his posture and parrying.
Under such circumstances, the direction of this battle should be very clear …
However!
Amidst the sharp cries, there was a battle of discretion. Moves came and went, and it was hard to determine the outcome.
"This guy …" After Yi Dacheng attacked continuously for ten seconds, he couldn't help but feel shocked. "Isn't he ridiculously strong?"
Date had studied the information about Weary Dream before the battle. Whether it was the hard data analyzed through the video or the recent actual combat data provided by Oda Ai and Sasaki Akira, it all showed that Weary Dream's strength was at most on par with Sasaki Akira. He was slightly weaker than Oda Ai, who was at the level of a master.
However, the actual situation in front of him was … Date Cheng, who was at the same level as Oda Ai, used his superior tactics to fight against Weary Dream, but he was still completely defended by his opponent.
"In terms of weapon type and combat distance, I have no doubt that I have the advantage. In other words …" Date Cheng thought as he fought, "In terms of 'speed' and 'skill' … I also lost?"
He quickly rejected this inference.
"No … This is impossible!"
Date's self-confidence was very strong. In the team practice, he had a record of five wins and five losses against Oda Ai. When facing an opponent like Uesugi Hito who was wielding a long weapon … even if he used 70% of his strength, he would still win.
Moreover, although Date did not open his ranking in the overall player strength ranking (for strategic reasons), Oda Ai, who was at the same level as him, was also ranked higher than Weary Dream.
All these factors … showed that he was stronger than Weary Dream, so he couldn't accept that he was at a disadvantage in this duel.
"He must have used some kind of method …" Date Cheng quickly came to another conclusion. "Some kind of skill or item that can increase the efficiency of close-combat defense. Yes … That must be it! He must have used up a lot of his energy to be able to stay in a stalemate with me. As long as I don't stop attacking, my advantage will increase … Sooner or later, he won't be able to hold on! "
Logically speaking, there was nothing wrong with his inference. Unfortunately … it was wrong.
Tired Dream didn't use any special techniques. He was only using basic physical skills to deal with his opponent. The reason why he didn't reveal any flaws in this disadvantageous battle was very simple — when it came to martial arts, Tired Dream was better than Yi Dacheng.
It was precisely this "one step" that smoothed out the difference in strength between the two sides, and also smoothed out the restraint of weapons in close combat.
"Date! Why are you in a daze?! How long are you going to play with that guy? "After the duel lasted for a minute, Takeda Tomo was a little impatient.
First of all, due to the fast pace and high intensity of this duel, Takeda Tomo's stamina was depleted a little too quickly. As for the Platinum Golem … As a summoned creature, it didn't have the concept of "stamina." As long as its time limit was not up, it could continue to fight.
Secondly, when Takeda Tomo was fighting with the Platinum Golem, the Shadow King in the distance had already started to prepare other summoning rituals. God knows what kind of things he would summon next …
In short, from various angles, the two from Sengoku had to do something quickly to change the situation on the battlefield.
"Tsk …" Date Cheng heard this and snorted softly. He said helplessly in his heart, "I also want to finish him quickly … But this guy …" When he thought of this, his expression changed again, as if he had made up his mind about something. "Forget it … Since the situation is like this, I can use those abilities that I originally planned to 'save for the last few rounds' …"
As soon as he made up his mind, he changed his attack!
Putting down the shackles in his heart, Date Cheng's qi rose sharply, and the long and short swords in his hands changed …
"This is …" The moment he sensed the abnormality, Tired Dream immediately responded. He used a skill under his feet and took the opportunity to retreat two feet.
But how could Date Cheng let him get away? Seeing that Tired Dream was still retreating, Date Cheng immediately "shrank" and followed him like a shadow.
In an instant, a white light flashed, and a black light followed.
The white katana used [Secret Sword-One Katana] to attack Tired Dream's neck; the black katana used [Moon Shadow] to attack Tired Dream's ribs.
The former was the strongest slash evolved from the simplest move, while the latter focused on extreme speed and changes.
Two moves came together, and there was no way to resist.
The sword intent was clear, and the martial arts reached its peak.
This was an undodgeable pursuit, and it was also a strange move that stunned countless masters.
But … at this moment, Tired Dream's face was still calm.
At that moment, Tired Dream was still spinning with his halberd, and qi poured out.
The sword and halberd clashed, and cold stars burst out.
Vast and powerful, and majestic.
At the moment when the two extremes met, time and space suddenly stagnated.
The result of an earth-shattering blow was actually …
