Chapter 339 - Battle at the Moon Tower: Yujin vs. Ryo
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Sounds of metal clashing against each other sounded in the whole room. Waves of energy were erupting every second.
[Thousand Slicing Blade]!
Yujin used his skills before he jumped away creating a distance away from his opponent. His hands were trembling as he couldn't handle the strength of his opponent.
He was breathing heavily and he had a few cuts on his body. His opponent was strong. A legitimate A-rank powerhouse who managed to liquefied his mana.
'This is bad... I didn't think that this man is an A-rank.' He thought as he took a glance at Yuko who was fighting the fifteen-meter tall golem. He could see that none of Yuko's attacks were effective against the sturdy golem.
Suddenly, he felt a wave of mana in front of him. He saw a large energy blade flying in his direction.
He quickly moved his body to the side to avoid the energy blade before he launched his own attack.
[Gale Swift Slash]!
His opponent simply shifted his body and avoided his attack.
'Jin, do you need my power?' Alophy asked him.
'Not yet, I'm going to test my sword skill first.' Yujin replied to her.
His opponent was a five-meter tall man with a long black hair that was tied in a ponytail. His black pants and silver-colored light armor were blue grade equipment. His twin swords were of the same grade. Both were blue grade weapons.
"I'm Ryo, the second executive of the Moon Tower." Ryo raised his sword as he introduced himself to Yujin. "You people shouldn't meddle with the affairs of the Moon Tower. We will complete our goal, our goal to destroy the True God's Holy Kingdom."
Ohm!
His swords emitted a dim light as he concentrated his mana on it. The liquefied mana was powerful so the power of his sword grew stronger. At this moment, it could even rival a low-quality orange grade weapon.
'Damn! This guy is getting serious.' Yujin said inwardly. He smiled and said, "Well, if you're going to fight me seriously then I will also not hold back."
'Jin!' Alophy shouted.
'Yeah, let's use it.' Yujin nodded and he emitted a bright light. The light illuminated the whole room as his energy slowly spread through the atmosphere.
The energy was pure and it has a calming effect that relaxes the body of any creatures.
If a person purifies their mana five hundred times then they will achieve in getting the purest energy in the whole universe, the Spirit Power. This energy was the opposite of the most berserk and wild energy in the universe, the Best Feram.
These three energies were connected to each other with mana at the center of it and best feram and spirit power at both sides.
Researchers did countless research on these three different energies. Up until now, they only managed to turn best feram to mana. They still haven't found a way to control the best feram like how monsters used it. That's why they invented a machine or device that could dilute and weakened its power, turning it into mana.
Ever since they've invented that machine, the market price of the monster orb skyrocketed and the same could be said to the demand.
The barrier that was used to cover the entire Ladros City was powered by several monster orbs.
...
The spirit power gathered around Yujin's twin swords. There's a line behind him that connected both swords and it was giving off an energy wave that amplified his overall attributes.
"What is that power...?" Ryo narrowed his eyes as he felt weird about the energy coming out of Yujin's body.
He didn't felt danger because of the nature of the spirit power but he felt that Yujin's overall strength has increased by several times.
"You don't need to know about it. Just remember that this power is enough for me to fight an A-rank powerhouse." Yujin replied before his figure disappeared.
Swoosh!
Ryo's eyes constricted as he lost his vision to his opponent. He tightly gripped the swords in both of his hands and raised his senses.
He then felt Yujin's behind him. He quickly turned around and saw Yujin slashing his sword at his neck.
Swoosh!
He bent his body and barely avoided Yujin's sword. He lifted his feet and kicked his opponent.
Bang!
Yujin received the kick on his stomach but he simply gritted his teeth and slashed both of his swords.
[Cross Wind Slash]!
Ryo crossed his swords in front of him and blocked the sword attack of his opponent.
Suddenly, the ground beneath him emitted a light as a magic circle appeared on it.
"What?" Ryo was surprised as he tried to jumped away but he was too late.
[Greater Twin Lightning Arrow]!!
Lightning burst out of the ground and it zapped his whole body.
This spell was the tier 2 version of the tier 1 spell called [Twin Lightning Arrow]. This spell didn't have high damage output but it has a great paralyzing effect.
"You wouldn't expect that I'm a mage."
Yujin said as he dashed forward. He was a sword expert but he sure knows one or two spells as he was from the mage class. He picked the mage class because he wanted to use a spell along with his sword.
"Argh! F.u.c.k!!"
Ryo cursed as he felt that he couldn't move his body. In front of him, he saw Yujin swinging both of his swords. If he didn't do anything, this guy would severely injure him for sure.
"DAMNNN!!"
He roared as the liquefied mana of his body exploded creating a sphere of chaotic energy.
[Energy Burst]!
Yujin was blown away and crashed on the walls. He spat a mouthful of blood and he felt several bones of him were broken.
The combat arts [Energy Burst] has a powerful damage output but the problem of this was the user would also suffer injuries because of the explosion of energy inside the user's body.
"Huff... Huff..."
Ryo was breathing heavily as blood was flowing out of the corner of his mouth. He slowly raised his hand and wiped the blood.
'This guy... Just what the hell is that power...?'
He thought as he looked at Yujin. Suddenly, he opened his eyes widely as he heard his opponent uttering a chant.
"O Thy Spirit, Lend me your power to close to thy wounds."
[Spirit Healing Wave]!
A wave of white glow formed around Yujin. It was coming from the spirit inside his body.
Ohm!
Ryo saw the wounds on Yujin's body were slowly closing. "You!!" He roared as he charged towards his opponent who was healing his wounds.
Yujin looked at Ryu as he gathered his spirit power in his swords. When Ryu arrived in front of him he swung both of his swords.
Ryu also swung his swords and their weapons collided creating a powerful shockwaves in the surrounding area.
Boom!!
Both of them were blasted away. The aftershocks of their power created a large crater on the ground. Without enough power, they wouldn't be able to scratch the floor that was filled with Cl.u.s.ter's mana.
Yujin exhaled as he silently used his spirit power to buff Yuko.
[Spirit Essence: Heart of Lion]!
[Spirit Vitality: Resonating Pulse]!
He also used these two skills on himself. This mode let him fight a six-circle officer with a few B-ranks powerhouses. He will not fall down easily without fighting back.
...
Yuko felt her strength increased as the spirit power seeped into her body. Her stats multiply because of this, and she would be able to damage the annoying golem.
She dashed towards the giant golem and swung her paw on its leg.
Bang!
She was already strong but her opponent this time was a powerful B-rank powerhouse.
A B-rank that was close to A-rank.
She was using the [Cat's Speed] and [Triple Muscle Strengthening] that she received from Souta.
Cracks appeared on the golem's leg. Her attack was effective this time as she gained enough power to damage her opponent.
She was thinking that if she couldn't damage her opponent she would use her last resort, the blessing of the destruction queen.
The golem raised its hand and swung it downward at Yuko.
ROAR!!
Yuko roared loudly as she didn't back down and threw her own attack.
Boom!
Both of their attacks collided and it shook the entire ground. Compared to Yujin and Ryo, the battle between Yuko and the golem was too direct. None of them were backing down and they just kept throwing their attacks against each other.
A frontal battle. Boasting their powerful strength.
Boom! Boom!
The ground continued to tremble as both of their attacks collided. Powerful energy was sweeping out in the opposite direction but both of them ignore it.
They only need to focus their attention on their opponents. They will not divide their attention to bother what's happening in Yujin and Ryo's battle.
The most important thing for Yuko was to destroy this giant golem. That's the order of her master. She will accomplish it no matter what.
