Chapter 257: All Kinds of Martial Arts, This is Magic and Rejecting Magic
What is that? A stick?
That thing was thicker than an adult's waist, and its surface was covered with bumps. Its khaki color looked plain and simple, just like a deep-fried chicken drumstick, but it was a chicken drumstick that could smash a person's head like a watermelon.
This kind of thing, this kind of thing.
"Ha ha ha ha--"
Conrod usually wouldn't laugh so exaggeratedly unless he really couldn't help it.
"You're going to fight me with this, with a stick you picked up from nowhere?"
He wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "I think I can understand your thinking. If you think that slashing is not enough, why not use blunt attack? It's a pity, this is still..."
Conrod's lower body suddenly turned into black gas, and he rushed towards Gapar like a long snake, shouting:
"it's useless!"
"boom!"
Gapar smashed the ground on his head with a stick, and the ground immediately cracked and shattered, but Conrod turned into two streams of black smoke that passed through both sides of his body, condensed behind him and slashed down with two swords!
A normal person can't react to this speed!
“Boom—”
The two swords chopped down hard on the giant stick, leaving two tiny notches on the uneven surface.
Not only is the speed fast, but the force of the chop is also very strong!
"Brother, you have become stronger. You can actually react. This move once defeated the Southern Sword Saint in one fell swoop."
His body was instantly broken up by the stick, and then he immediately regrouped and continued to attack. Looking closely, his moves were indeed somewhat similar to those of the Sword Master, but his moves were more tricky and strange.
Faster than the Sword Master when he first appeared!
In terms of bonfire level, his level is around 180! And he is good at strength and speed!
Sometimes level doesn't tell everything. As a mixed-blood, Conrod's physique is far superior to Japar's. His body has remained in peak condition for a long time. Unlike the Sword Master, he is now on the verge of old age and decline in strength.
"Let's continue with the previous topic. The purpose of my coming to see you," Conrod fought back and forth with Gapar, who had shown his current strength. The opponent could not hurt him, but he could cause slight damage to him. It seemed that they were going to fall into a war of attrition?
"You know, the demons have always been organized into dozens or even hundreds of tribes to make ends meet, and the relationships between the tribes are all maintained by priests. This kind of civilization is too backward and there is no way they can exert their greatest strength."
For some reason, he raised his right arm toward the sky and said:
"They need unified leadership, they need to end this scattered state, they need a king to rule, they need... me!"
"The resurrection of the Demon King is simply an illusory thing, and as a descendant of the blood, I am born with the legitimacy to lead them, and my power is enough for me to do so!"
"But other blood descendants have the same idea. You may not know that there are countless creatures with the blood of the Demon King, and many of them live in the human kingdom, just like me before, confused and unaware of my mission. I have awakened and have power, but some other bastards have also awakened. They have lived in various tribes since childhood and can easily get support, but I don't!"
At this point, he suddenly became a little excited and said:
"I finally got in touch with a priest, a real priest who had the authority to view the memories of the Great Demon Tree. With his help, I would definitely succeed, but that guy committed suicide for unknown reasons!"
"They said he committed suicide after communicating with the Great Demon Tree. Even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe this nonsense. It must have been another bloodline that did it!"
"I have to do something else to gain support, so."
Conrod stretched out several arms made of black energy and attacked Japar with a violent eight-sword flow.
"I can only use your brain, brother, and become a stepping stone on my road to becoming king!"
The black energy that made up the body surged more violently, as if indicating that its owner was also overwhelmed with emotion and full of hope for the future.
His figure flickers like Miriam, his swordplay is as wild as a puppet soldier, and his mental state is comparable to that of Ludwig in stage one.
Damn it, why didn’t the Light Eagle Group deliver the promised weapons? That despicable guy broke his promise again. If I had the help of the weapons, I would have won the victory by now, Conrod cursed in his heart, and at this moment -
"So it's just for this kind of boring thing."
Japar suddenly swung his stick, and the hurricane he created even made the opponent's black body shake.
Conrod was keenly aware that something was wrong, and a bad premonition suddenly emerged, but he didn't want to believe it.
"Why don't you take out your weapon? I've been waiting for you to use it."
"How do you know—"
Japar took a deep breath, his skin suddenly turned red, the blood in his body was burning, the white hair unique to the elderly was constantly growing longer, burning like a raging fire, and his eyes changed in some way, becoming more like a beast familiar to people.
“Ah——”
He couldn't help but let out a wolf howl, and before the sound faded away, his figure had disappeared from Conrod's sight.
This was the first time that Japar activated the wolf blood in his body!
The next moment, Conrod's two swords shattered as if they were hit hard, and the fragments fell like snowflakes.
He opened his eyes wide, looking for Japar everywhere, but he couldn't see any trace of him anywhere! Instead, his body was being attacked all the time!
A normal battle between strong men should be "the opponent's figure disappears instantly, appears in XX place and then launches XX attack."
But Jiapal did not show up at all, and his extremely fast speed made him seem to have entered a different space that no one could detect!
Every attack made Conrod's black energy show signs of being bitten, and wounds kept appearing and healing. He didn't even have time to make any other moves and could only keep trying to recover.
This is impossible. Why did this old guy suddenly become so strong? He would definitely lose to me a month ago!
"Gapar!" He called out the other person's name. "Isn't that interesting? Your attacks are ineffective against me. How many times do I have to tell you that they are ineffective against me?"
"What about this?"
Gapar's voice finally sounded behind him. Conrod's face lit up with joy. The black energy immediately condensed into a sharp sword. He turned around quickly and shouted:
"Idiot, you fell into the trap—eh?"
His body suddenly paused, and even the wriggling black air stopped for a moment.
Why? Because what appeared before his eyes was somewhat beyond his common sense.
The blue-green magic light illuminated the dark energy on his face. Gapar stood behind him with a smile on his face, holding a giant magic wand in both hands.
A giant hammer made of magic is centered around a giant stick.
One look at it tells you this sledgehammer can bring peace to the world.
"【Hymer Hammer】!"
Under Conrod's stunned gaze, the sledgehammer from the most peace-loving Haymore classroom in Rhea Lukalia smashed down!
The light of magic burned the black energy fiercely, causing him to scream and question in pain.
"Impossible! How can you use magic? You obviously don't have the talent for it!"
"Why?"
Hearing this question, scenes emerged in front of Japar's eyes.
In the Sion dungeon, the weapon was damaged by the rust monster, the curse frog sprayed smoke to death, the pitfalls in the pigeons made me feel like dying, the unforgettable communication with the subhuman swordsman, the helplessness under the full moon, and the fire fight with the undead team of the Cinder King.
The corner of his mouth twitched suddenly and he muttered to himself.
"Because I rolled around in hell."
"ah!"
Conrod screamed, and was even knocked out of his black energy state, sending him flying backwards.
But when he saw the Sword Saint chasing him, he could not afford to slack off at all. He endured the pain and turned into black gas once again. This time, he kept a distance from the Sword Saint and kept firing black gas missiles, playing the Touhou Project!
Keep your distance, keep your distance. This way he won’t be able to hit me. That strange magic hammer obviously needs time to charge. I can dodge—
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Jiapal suddenly raised his hands to his forehead and shouted:
"Sun Fist!"
The powerful sunlight suddenly illuminated Conrod's dark world.
"Ah! My eyes!"
He was only blinded for a moment. Although he could be caught up by the Sword Master during this period, he was not close to the attack range of Haymer's Hammer, so he was still very stable!
But he watched helplessly as Japar used magic once again outside the range of the Hammer of Helmer, and then
That giant club turns into a big sword! ?
【Kalia Great Sword】!
The sword flashed, and half of Conrod's body turned into ashes!
His mind was now filled with strong doubts.
The first is why Gapal surpassed him in hard power in just one month.
The second is where did Japar learn this strange magic.
Third, am I fucking going to die! ?
Skills are crushed by numbers, mechanisms are destroyed by magic, and even half of the body is gone and is about to be caught up. This is clearly the most dangerous moment!
Conrod just couldn't understand why the situation, which should have been a sure win for him, suddenly turned into a complete loss.
Brain, think quickly, think about what tricks I have up my sleeve.
Hey, got it!
Just when the Sword Master's Kalia greatsword was about to split Conrod vertically in half, he suddenly roared out loudly.
A purple star suddenly appeared in front of Japar. The star opened its single eye and big mouth, and spit out an endless nebula.
"!"
He suddenly felt a strong threat and turned and retreated quickly with a twisted body movement. Almost at the same time, the nebula exploded.
“Boom boom boom—”
The explosion raised a cloud of dust that stretched for miles. The rift valley and the earth were shaking. Thick smoke floated up into the sky, forming a wall of thick fog.
"General, can we really still survive?" The defenders in the Titan Fortress hugged the pillars tightly, and were so scared that tears were about to come out.
"Don't worry," the general huddled under the table. "According to common sense, this is the last resort. They should leave after the fight."
“Ahem.”
Before the thick fog had dispersed, Japar had already stood up. He was naked at the moment. Not only had his clothes turned into debris in the explosion, but even his treasured enchanted items and the rare armor that could greatly increase his physical strength were damaged in the explosion, and most of their effects were gone in an instant.
After all, enchanted items are no match for weapons. He heard that the Warrior Kingdom next to the Kingdom of Anor has a kind of weapon that can greatly enhance physical fitness. When ordinary people put it on, they can compete with dragons in strength, and the weapon seems to never be damaged.
By the way, it looks like the Warrior Kingdom is about to hold its war festival that happens once every ten years, so I could go and join in the fun.
"Hehe, that must be uncomfortable." Conrod's voice came from the front, and purple starlight hung high in the rift valley, illuminating the place into an enchanting purple.
There was no doubt that thing was gathering strength, and was trying to kill Japar once and for all.
If we kill the user before it comes out, will the effect be resolved? But where is Conrod?
Looking left and right, he found that he had turned into a small black gas, entwined around the strange purple star.
Japar slashed out a sword energy, or "stick energy", but it suddenly disappeared just as it approached Zixing, as if it was suddenly wiped out.
Conrod began his "narration" at the right time.
"Brother, you are awesome. You actually pushed me to this extent. I really underestimated you before. You taught me what humility is. I will never look down on any enemy again."
"This magic is the knowledge that He imparted to me when my bloodline first awakened and I had a momentary connection with the ancestor who was wandering outside the world and gave birth to me. I can feel that this is His care for me. This is the legendary magic that only the agents of the gods are qualified to obtain!"
The sky at the border suddenly changed, and the soldiers of Titan Fortress exclaimed: "It's dark, there are so many stars!"
Night fell, but it was not the night that people were used to.
There is no moon in the sky, instead it is filled with enchanting purple stars. Misty nebulae float in the night sky, and indescribable things are wriggling and leaping in them.
At this moment people suddenly discovered that the night sky has never been as low as it is today?
It was like the sky was falling and every star was within reach.
But no one would be stupid enough to touch it, because the stars have their eyes open.
"Things are going to get serious now." The general's teeth were chattering as he looked at the scene in front of him that seemed like the end of the century.
This is indeed a battleground for the strong, but I haven't encountered this level of fighting in all these years. Everyone just fights for a while and then stops. No one has ever gone to this extent.
Densely packed and endless star eyes were staring at Japar in the rift, and all of them were transmitting invisible power towards the Purple Star. The nebula around the Purple Star became thicker and thicker, with winding and twisted things wandering in it.
Conrod's voice echoed.
"I am far from being able to use legendary magic, but the greatest benefit of God's bloodline is that I can accumulate power for legendary magic. I cannot use it all at once, but I can accumulate strength over a long period of time until the minimum conditions for release are met."
"I have been accumulating power for it since I killed my master, until this year when I was finally able to release it at the smallest level. I didn't expect that the first use would be against you. Brother, it's time for you to rest in peace."
Conrod shouted in a high-pitched and excited voice, as if singing a hymn:
"Witness the legendary magic, witness the power of God!"
Gapar's face was serious. He could sense that this move could not be avoided. Legendary magic, even the barely released version that Conrod had accumulated bit by bit over decades, was still the strongest killing move.
This move is even more powerful than the Full Moon used by the Simulated Teardrop.
Faced with this move, any living creature would tremble instinctively, but Japar would not.
His character and his backbone would not allow it. He had seen equally grand full moons and meteors, so he would not be frightened by the nebula. The wolf blood in his body supported the warriors in their fight against the abyss, and would not show fear of evil demons.
How could he be afraid in front of this bastard who betrayed his teacher and ancestors!
Gapar suddenly ran back, and Conrod's voice mocked in time:
"Want to escape? Too bad, brother. No matter how you run, you can't escape the attack range of the legendary magic. Just run, run--"
His voice suddenly stopped, because Gapar stopped and took out a shining silver shield from the bag left by Pegasus.
The silver shield, which had not responded to any magic since he got it, now emitted light when facing the legendary magic.
The reason why the Silver Shield reacted was largely due to Conrod's words just now.
You mentioned "God" just now, right?
Then I will shine.
Looking at Gapar who raised his shield towards Purple Star, Conrod laughed out loud.
"Hahaha, haha, I will always remember you, goodbye, brother!"
The purple star bloomed with the radiance of the universe, and fell towards Gapar along with the enchanting purple night sky. As Conrod laughed wildly, the Sword Saint swung the silver shield.
At this moment, he thought of Stellan who eliminated the full moon in public, and suddenly a smile appeared on his lips.
"It turns out that she had such a happy mentality at the beginning."
Just like what Gapar taught Leon at the beginning, if you want to make your fighting posture more handsome, you have to shout out the name of the move.
"【Tops' force field】!"
Facing the falling starry sky, the silver shield showed its plain color.
In Titan Fortress, the defenders were in chaos and everyone was fleeing for their lives.
"Help, help, the 36th Titan Fortress has been attacked by legendary magic. Please rescue us. We are really going to die!"
The general grabbed the voice transmission prop and shouted for help. Under the falling sky, an individual seemed so insignificant.
I am really going to die this time. My wives at home have pity on me.
He dropped his hands in despair, fell to his knees with a plop, and watched the purple nebula swallow everything. He closed his eyes, not daring to see what would happen next.
But death did not come.
The noisy voices of the defenders disappeared at some point, and there was silence inside the Titan Fortress.
In the silence, a dazzling beam of light shone on the general's face. He trembled in fear, fearing that this was a sign of death.
But nothing happened. Instead, the light became stronger and stronger, and he couldn't help but open his eyes.
When he saw clearly what was happening before him, a light of hope burst out in his eyes.
The general's mouth gradually opened wider, his breathing became heavier, and his heart was pounding.
An anxious voice from the Kingdom Army far away in the Royal City came from the sound transmission tool: "General Gabi, what happened? Answer quickly, answer quickly!"
The noise lasted for a long time before General Gabi slowly picked up the sound transmission tool and said blankly:
"It's dawn"
"What dawn?"
From the distant rift valley, a tragic wail was heard before an evil life disappeared.
I should have never dragged out a battle plot.
