I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

"Master told me not to accidentally break Mingxin before, but during this period of fighting... I didn't even have time to take care of her. It seems that she won't be used at all."

"Of course it's not indestructible, it's just difficult to use it up! You have to take good care of your weapons." Cheng Rang said seriously.

Although there is a high probability that it will last a lifetime...

The predecessor of the curse tool Maki holds now, the Mingxin, is just an ordinary sword that Cheng Rang randomly picked from a weapons store.

But when he was "forging the sword" for Maki that day, Cheng Rang put it in his equipment slot.

The title effect of [The Strongest Sword God] can transform its attributes to an almost outrageous intensity, so-called flying flowers and picking leaves can hurt people.

Although the attack power bonus cannot be inherited after the equipment is cancelled, the durability has increased "quite a bit" as a result.

It's a lot, probably... 50 billion?

After all, it is linked to the maximum health value.

If you take good care of it, it might become a family heirloom.

"....Okay." Seeing Cheng Rang's serious expression, Maki wiped the bloody blade clean, "Who will I hit next?"

Cheng Rang held his chin and thought for a while, "What's next... We've almost killed the monsters. It's time to find you a skilled opponent. I happen to know one here."

"Then come here!" Maki confidently held the Mingxin in her hand and waited to see.

Cheng Rang clicked twice on the system screen. As the blue information flow formed, on the smoke-filled streets of Hersharemzi, a man in a black dress wearing a mask walked slowly.

There was a black straight knife on his waist, and he walked lightly.

"Who is that...?" Maki narrowed her eyes. She seemed to smell a dangerous smell on that man.

"Dimensional Phantom Thief Veneno."

The virtual battle dummies generated at the training ground are limited to those who have fought with Cheng Rang, and their values ​​can be adjusted. In order to find a suitable high-intensity opponent for Maki, Cheng Rang thought of this guy.

"Dimension

The orthodox heir of swordsmanship and a top swordsman with a dimensional bloodline. He holds the dimensional sword Wu Ming and is a very powerful opponent. "Cheng Rang explained the opponent's information to Maki, "One thing to note is that the dimensional knife in his hand does not rely on the sharpness of the blade itself to kill, but can mobilize the dimensional force to absolutely cut off all targets in a space cutting method. , if you don’t want the knife in your hand to break, don’t take his attack easily~”

"——Huh?!" Maki immediately took half a step back and exclaimed: "Then how do you want me to hit this guy? My [Use of Strength] needs to effectively block the enemy's attack before I can activate it!"

An attack that cannot be resisted, an absolute cutting ability at the space and dimensional level...that means you cannot use your own advantage? !

[Taking advantage of the situation]

Maki's first goal in practicing this time is to use this method to quickly accumulate sword power based on the opponent's attacks and release the sword power.

At present, Maki's mastery of the sword's power has reached a level that can be used in actual combat, but the premise is that she can use the skill of taking advantage of the sword's power - that is, she can successfully block the opponent's three attacks.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

By blocking the enemy's attack, the intensity, skill and momentum of the attack can be integrated into one's own body, mind and spirit, using this as a 'spark' to ignite the silent 'fuel' within the body.

Then explode violently to achieve the sword power and release it, thereby making up for the lack of combat experience and training time.

Block the enemy's attack, let the enemy's [Potential] drop, and at the same time let your own [Potential] rise. Between the height and low difference, you can launch a crushing momentum towards the opponent.

Although the limitations of [Taking Advantage] are very large, namely [must block three enemy attacks] and [no injuries allowed during this period]. But once Maki successfully releases the sword power [Bone] in the battle, the entire battle will be crushing.

After all, this is equivalent to an opponent of the same level in a spell battle. If the opponent suddenly uses [Field Expansion] and [Black Flash], the intensity will be abruptly increased by two levels.

"The so-called practice is to hone one's weaknesses, so that one can grow and become stronger." Cheng Rang crossed his arms and stepped back a distance, giving the two people space to fight.

"If I keep asking you to chop off some trash fish and the like, even if you kill tens of thousands, your ability to abuse vegetables will only increase. I can't let you learn from me."

"...It's simple!" Maki gritted her teeth and clenched her weapon. Although the enemy in front of her had not yet started to take action, the sharp eyes were already carrying terrifying pressure.

This opponent... is very strong!

Of course Veneno is very strong. Although he was stunned by Cheng Rang's dodge as soon as he appeared, and was instantly killed by Jurias, this was compared to the strength of the enemies he faced.

As a well-known Dimensional Phantom Thief in HL, he has the tyrannical strength to single-handedly compete with the entire HLPD high-intensity mecha armed escort team. If left undisturbed, he can even face Lebra Gold like Klaus and Stephen. Combination, are quite sure to be able to repel it.

After all, he has a dimensional sword that cuts off all attacks and defenses. It would be quite difficult for him to become an enemy because he can only dodge attacks that cannot be blocked!

"So...."

Cheng Rang snapped his fingers.

"——The battle begins~!"

Chapter 113 The blade penetrates the bone

The moment the battle started, Veneno, who was ten meters away from Maki, launched an attack.

The dimensional sword Wuming unsheathed it and slashed across the air. The sword energy that distorted the light came out of his hand, making Maki startled. She seemed not to have expected that her opponent could launch such a long-range and large-scale attack.

And most importantly...

Maki leaned back suddenly, and the twisted sword light passed by the tip of her nose, cutting off a strand of Maki's hair, and then penetrated the large buildings behind her without any hindrance, cutting them all in half.

These attacks...are unstoppable!

Maki's pupils narrowed.

Just get closer!

Although Maki's actual combat skills have improved by leaps and bounds during this period, she is still not able to use sword energy as casually as Cheng Rang.

Attack range is a big issue.

The second vertical sword energy followed, and Maki used the scabbard to support the ground and roll to the side.

Click!

The ground was plowed into ravines without any hindrance. Even such a long-distance attack was definitely very powerful... It would almost break off the limbs if it hit it.

"The dimensional knife has its weaknesses." Cheng Rang informed Maki while guiding her, "But you need to think for yourself. This is your battle."

weakness?

The sword winds coming one after another caused Maki to dodge in embarrassment. She had no chance to get close to Veneno, and instead retreated further and further away.

This can't go on like this!

If you are suppressed all the time, even if the enemy has weaknesses, you will not be able to test them——

call out!

Dodging the sword energy again, Maki used the terrain to hide in the corner of the building, waiting for the opportunity.

This is the intersection of city streets. Although the high-rise buildings have basically collapsed, the low wreckage can still hide Maki's figure.

Maki's mind was racing. Her weakness was that she couldn't block the opponent's attack. When she couldn't use the opportunity, her combat power was only equivalent to that of a quasi-first-level magician... Not to mention that if she couldn't get close to the enemy, she couldn't do anything to it. pressure.

The sound of breaking through the air came from far to near, and the reinforced concrete wall above the head was suddenly cut away.

Going to Yijiao, Maki quickly shrank her head to avoid being separated.

"Damn it!"

The distance is too far. What I need to do now is to get close to him. Only after getting close can I have a chance to fight back! If you avoid it, your energy will be exhausted sooner or later.

Maki grabbed a piece of broken glass at her feet and used reflection to observe Veneno in the middle of the intersection.

I saw the dimensional knife in Weineno's hand glowing with energy like blue flames. As the blade slashed, the huge twisted transparent sword energy came out of his hand and slashed quickly.

Maki immediately threw away the glass and rushed to the side. With a bang, the position where she was before was cut in half.

But witnessing the sword energy attack from Veneno for the second time, Maki was thoughtful.

Still need to...confirm again...!

This time, Maki was prepared and stuck her head out from behind the cover. Then she looked shocked and immediately raised her head back. A horizontal sword energy passed by her eyes, almost splitting her head in half.

But this time, Maki did not change positions after dodging, but immediately stood up again and stared at Veneno, who was wielding a knife in the distance.

The black blade glowed with blue flames, then slashed out, and sword energy flew out.

See clearly!

Before that guy launches a long-range attack, the blade must be ignited with flames, and it takes a certain amount of time to accumulate. Although this time is as short as less than half a second, it still cannot be fired continuously.

Maki dodged a sword blast again, and immediately drew her sword across the ground and struck hard.

The ground cracked the earth and rocks, and the huge dust mist covered her figure.

The thick dust mist blocked the vision of both parties, and Veneno continued to slash into the dust mist with a horizontal slash without hesitation.

As if time was being pulled to both sides and slowed down, Maki could clearly feel the fierce sword wind that cut through the space and swept horizontally after the invisible dust mist.

If you can't resist, just hide. If you can't react to the speed of the sword wind, keep an eye on the enemy's hand.

And before that, dodge!

Maki lowered her figure suddenly and charged towards the other side of the dust mist!

Swish——

A suffocating sword wind passed over her head, and she saw Maki's figure suddenly breaking out of the dust and mist. At that moment, her eyes stared sharply at Veneno's movements.

See that... blue flame!

call out!

As if predicting the future, Maki jumped up from her feet and turned to the side. When she was in the middle of dodging, Veneno's sword light had just taken action.

"Heh... your attack method is a bit single!"

Maki stepped suddenly and turned into a meteor and rushed towards Veneno who had just swung the sword, but the sword energy that came out of his hand missed Maki.

"Escaped in advance." Cheng Rang raised the corners of his mouth, "But this is just the beginning."

The distance of fifteen meters may only take a little more than a second for Maki who is sprinting with all her strength, so she still needs to dodge the second extremely close slash.

Sure enough, Veneno struck again, this time with a horizontal slash.

"So I've seen it clearly!"

Maki jumped up lightly, dodged the sword light, and rolled around on the ground without losing speed, and was already in front of Veneno!

Swing the sword——!

boom!

In Maki's disbelieving eyes, the figure of Veneno disappeared in front of him, and cracks burst out of the ground beneath his feet.

"Varied...."

Twisting her neck with all her strength, Maki could only see Veneno's blade close at hand behind her, and her eyes burning with blue flames under the mask made her feel like she was falling into an ice cave.

So fast!

The dimensional knife did not ignite blue flames. There was no need to accumulate long-range attacks at such a close distance. A slash hit Maki's back. Although she had tried her best to avoid it, her left arm was still cut off directly.

"Well!!"

Ruined....

The moment Maki lost her left arm, her balance was broken, and Veneno knocked her to the ground with a merciless leg sweep.

Maki, who was lying on his back, stared at the blade that was slashing towards his neck, showing an expression of reluctance to admit defeat.

"I must kill..."

Poof!

The unfinished words were interrupted by the blade cutting across a semicircle, and radiating blood instantly spread all over his feet. Veneno's movements stopped, and then turned into a blue stream of information and disappeared.

"Okay, the battle is over." Cheng Rang clapped his hands and looked at the resurrected Maki, "How do you feel?"

"You had your hands cut off first and then your head, how could you still say something like 'it feels good'?" Maki moved her left arm with an unconvinced look on her face, making sure that it was still on her body.

"Is he a strong enemy?"

"Ah, at least it's special."

"Then you are too underestimated by Helsalem Zlot. Although he is not able to travel everywhere, you can still catch a handful of them."

Maki sighed sharply, "That's really a horde of monsters..."

"When you encounter an enemy who restrains you, you cannot rely on the advantage that sword power brings to you. I hope you can still become stronger in adversity and gradually grow. After all, the so-called advantage that sword power brings to you, maybe others can also Find the same way to restrain you."

Cheng Rang pointed to Maki's eyes.
