Chapter 67 The Information That Decides the Outcome
"Come, Hyacinthus!"
Roy said coldly, his figure moving quickly, rushing in front of Hyacinthus, and slashing fiercely with the Murakami Sword. The sharp sword light swept through the void, shining brightly.
Clang!
Hyacinthus raised his sword, sparks flying from the blade, and snarled, "Just because you gained the same stats as me, don't get too cocky!"
Although it's unknown how Roy improved his stats, as a LV.3 adventurer, his battles, achievements, and experience far surpass those of a LV.2 adventurer, so he has absolute confidence!
That's exactly the case!
Hyacinthus's sword flashed, leaving afterimages as he attacked from all sorts of tricky angles, forcing Roy to retreat continuously.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Each clash of the blades produced a crisp metallic clang, sparks flew, and Roy retreated repeatedly, causing everyone to feel a sense of tension.
"Don't worry, there's not a trace of panic on Roy's face," Hermes said with burning eyes.
The calmer you are, the more likely you are to win in the end.
Roy's steps were perfectly steady. In terms of combat experience, he was slightly inferior, but not by as much as one might imagine. After all, he spent all his time sparring with Ryu, who was at level 4. Compared to Ryu, the speed of Hyacinthus, who was at level 3, was nothing in his eyes.
Within the sword net constructed by Hyacinthus, Roy keenly detected a tiny gap.
call out!
Roy's Muramasa sword suddenly thrust out, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, breaking through the tight net of swords and heading straight for Hyacinthus's head. The chilling killing intent seemed to materialize as a venomous snake coiled around the latter's neck.
At the last second, Hyacinthus turned his head away and escaped unharmed, leaving him drenched in cold sweat.
Warm liquid flowed down, and when Hyacinthus reached out to touch it, he felt a stinging pain. Looking closer, he saw a crimson stain; the sword had still sliced his cheek.
"You bastard!"
Hyacinthus was immediately enraged, as he had become extremely concerned about his appearance ever since that strange illness.
"drink!!"
Hyacinthus seemed to transform into a berserker, wildly swinging his longsword and slashing at Roy.
Roy was like an elite assassin; when his first attack failed, he fell silent again and switched to defense.
Waiting for the right opportunity to arrive.
A chilling killing intent lingered around him, making Hyacinthus feel as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat.
Click!
Faced with Hyacinthus's repeated slashes, Roy's Murako sword was covered in marks, and a crack became more and more obvious. Finally, the slender sword broke in two.
"Hahaha, as expected of the impoverished Apollo Familia, owing sixty million Fali, they don't even have a decent weapon!" Hyacinthus was even more smug. The solar flame-shaped sword in his hand was a high-level weapon of the Apollo Familia, a weapon that only the successive captains could use!
With that, Hyacinthus pressed his advantage, swinging his cold sword and aiming for Roy's forehead.
Roy raised his steel arm guard to block, but the sun-flame-shaped sword sliced through without leaving a mark.
"What is that arm guard?"
Hyacinthus felt the recoil returning to him, his hands went numb, and he frowned.
The Steel Armguards are truly epic quality, even better than the Sunfire Sword!
Roy stared at Yacintos with a cold gaze.
He actually had several opportunities to retaliate, but he suppressed his urge to act. He had no interest in petty squabbles; he was all about killing with one blow!
"My name is Love, darling of light. I dedicate this body to my sun! My name is Sin, the jealousy of the wind. I summon a fierce wind to descend upon this body!!"
At this moment, Hyacinthus did not continue his attack. Instead, he retreated and ran towards the edge of the arena, chanting incoherently.
"Oh no, it's magic!"
Everyone's expression changed. Magic was always used as a trump card, and its use could decide the outcome of the battle!
Hyacinthus is not like Ryu; he cannot simultaneously handle five actions: high-speed attack, movement, evasion, defense, and chanting. At most, he can manage to escape and chant.
Facing someone with greater strength, such half-baked parallel chanting is suicidal.
But his enemy is Roy at level 2. Hyacinthus is determined to escape with all his might and is absolutely confident that he can keep Roy from catching him in a short time.
They could only watch helplessly as he unleashed his magic.
Roy knew this too, and had no intention of chasing after him. He stood still, ready to block.
"—Unleash the fiery wheel! Come, western wind! Crimson Radiance! Alien Phantasm Zephyros!"
After Hyacinthus finished chanting, a halo appeared in his hand, which spun and released flames. He threw it out, and it flew through the air toward Roy.
The aperture appeared in an instant, standing in front of Roy.
Guardians!
Roy silently activated the special effect of his steel arm guards, and invisible ripples spread out, forming a magical shield.
boom!!
A violent explosion occurred, the earth shook violently, and flames roared like a giant dragon, engulfing the surrounding area for dozens of meters.
The onlookers felt a chill; they were taking things too far, worried that someone might die.
As the roar subsided, a figure emerged from the depths of the dust. As the dust thinned, the figure gradually became clearer, standing in the center of the sunken crater.
It was Roy, completely unharmed!
"hiss!"
A collective gasp filled the arena. Could they really be going head-to-head with a level 3 adventurer's magic?
Only the gazes of gods and high-ranking adventurers fell upon Roy's arm guards, their eyes thoughtful.
Hyacinthus was completely unaware of all this. His confidence began to waver, and he angrily demanded, "Why aren't you dead yet?!"
Roy did not answer, but like Hyacinthus, he stepped back and began to chant, "Charge, Thunder Spear, I am the one who will carry it out..."
"You think I'd give you the chance to chant or cast spells? How naive!"
When he saw Roy trying to imitate him, Hyacintos couldn't help but mock him. He thought Roy had some hidden trump card, how ridiculous!
Before he finished speaking, Hyacinthus unleashed his full speed, charging towards Roy like a raging bull.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill for Roy. Roy had been an adventurer for less than a month, so it was impossible for him to know such an advanced technique as parallel chanting.
Only Liu's eyes remained calm. It was over. Back in the dungeon, Roy had already set a trap for Hyacinthus.
Facing the overwhelming force of Hyacinthus.
Suddenly, Roy advanced instead of retreating.
Activating the special effect of the Wind Chaser Boots breaks through the limits of agility and speed, reaching SSS level.
The two seemed to be heading in opposite directions, almost instantly shortening the distance.
This caught Hyacinthus completely off guard.
Roy's lips curled into a sinister smile. The incantation did not end, but golden lightning surged from his palm, crackling and forming a sphere.
Hyacinthus's eyes widened. Was the magic complete?
The ball of lightning in Roy's hand expanded again, reaching a diameter of one meter. The surging lightning emitted a dangerous aura and struck Hyacinthus's face without hesitation.
Bang!
The lightning engulfed Hyacinthus's figure, and the resulting explosion was in no way inferior to the magic from before.
"Aa ...
A horrific scream echoed through the sky!
