Chapter 159: A Sword Battle Between Two Monsters (2)
Axel's PoV:
I channeled a slight amount of my mana towards the two condensed mana swords that I wielded on both of my hands.
I continuously consumed mana in channeling my mana towards the two condensed mana swords but I didn't overdo in channeling mana towards the two condensed swords since I wouldn't rely too much on reinforcing my two condensed swords.
What I needed to rely on was my skills in my swordsmanship since that would be the only thing that I excelled on compared to the level 77,000 great forest spirit.
The level 77,000 great forest spirit relied on its abundant amount of mana to strengthen the grass sword that it had wielded so competing in reinforcing my sword would only allow the level 77,000 great forest spirit to win.
I pointed the two condensed mana swords on both of my hands towards the level 77,000 great forest spirit.
I zoomed towards the level 77,000 great forest spirit using my [Flight] skill.
The level 77,000 great forest spirit didn't bother in using nature magic to either defend itself or attack me to hinder my movements.
The level 77,000 great forest spirit directed its grass sword towards me while tightly gripping the grass sword using its two hands.
The level 77,000 great forest spirit was waiting for me to be at the level 77,000 great forest spirit's attack range so that its grass sword would be able to reach me.
I was confident that I would be able to deal with whatever sword attack the level 77,000 great forest spirit would launch towards me even if the level 77,000 great forest spirit was given time for preparation so I didn't hesitate in entering the level 77,000 great forest spirit's attack range.
After I entered the level 77,000 great forest spirit's attack range by flying towards it, the level 77,000 great forest spirit instantly reacted by performing a quick X slash.
The X slash sword attack was a simple move that could be easily executed if the swordsman who would execute it wielded two swords on both of his hands.
But since the level 77,000 great forest spirit only wielded a grass sword on one of its hands, it was safe to assume that the level 77,000 great forest spirit used the other alternative to execute the X slash sword move.
The other alternative to executing a quick X slash sword move was to slash the sword towards the right side and then followed the right side sword slash with another sword slash towards the left.
In that way, there would be an X slash sword move that would appear if it was executed in quick succession. Seeing that the level 77,000 great forest spirit had executed the X slash sword move in an instant, the level 77,000 great forest spirit must have executed it the way I knew how to execute the X slash sword move with only one sword.
I could also perform the X slash sword move to counter the X slash move of the level 77,000 great forest spirit but that would be downright boring considering that I'm just copying what sword move the level 77,000 great forest spirit had used.
Since I'm an accomplished swordsman myself, it's best to use sword moves that were exclusive to only my knowledge. In other words, the sword moves that I had invented by myself using the deep understanding I had after mastering the way of the sword.
The way of the sword or also known as Tao of the sword if that's what floats the boat of manhua fanatics.
The X slash sword move was performed by the level 77,000 great forest spirit in both the left and right side so to counter it without attacking the X slash sword move of the level 77,000 great forest spirit was to move towards the opposite side of where the first of the two slashes would hit.
For example, the level 77,000 great forest spirit had launched the first sword slash on the left side so to counter it, I needed to dodge towards the right side so I wouldn't be hit by the left side slash and the next process would be vice versa.
As much as I wanted to dodge the X slash sword move of the level 77,000 great forest spirit to conserve both my stamina and mana, it's not every day I could meet a high-level monster that would fight me in a sword battle so I decided to counter the X slash sword move of the level 77,000 great forest spirit with another sword move.
I let go of the other condensed mana sword that I was holding in my left hand and after I let go of it, the condensed mana sword levitated towards my side and the condensed mana sword followed me wherever I go so it was quite convenient.
I only needed one sword to perform the sword move that I had in mind that would be able to easily counter the X slash sword move of the level 77,000 great forest spirit so I had to drop the other sword that I was holding and fortunately, the other condensed mana sword that I had dropped was following beside me since it had the auto-follow function due to the condensed mana sword recognizing me because of my mana.
The only condensed mana sword that I was holding was the condensed mana sword on my right hand and it's because I was much proficient in using the sword on my right hand. In other words, I was included in the statistics of right-handed people.
The sword move that I was going to execute against the X slash sword move of the level 77,000 great forest spirit was a simple but practical sword thrust.
That's the reason why I only needed one word since I only needed one sword to execute a sword thrust.
The place on the X slash sword move of the level 77,000 great forest spirit where I would launch the sword thrust was at the center of the X slash.
I quickly advanced towards the X slash sword move of the level 77,000 great forest spirit that was heading towards me while directing my condensed mana sword towards the X slash sword move after I had made sure that my plan was flawless.
I waited for an opportunity to execute the sword thrust and it would be when the X slash sword move of the level 77,000 great forest spirit would be only a meter away from me.
After the X slash sword move of the level 77,000 great forest spirit was exactly a meter away from me, I instantly directed the tip of the condensed mana sword towards the center of the X slash sword move and channeled my mana towards the tip of the condensed mana sword.
The mana stored at the tip of the condensed mana sword had reached a certain amount which was the exact amount that I needed so I didn't hesitate any more and I quickly thrust the condensed mana sword towards the center of the X slash sword move of the level 77,000 great forest spirit.
Since there were originally two sword slashes from the X slash sword move of the level 77,000 great forest spirit, the condensed mana sword came in contact with the right sword slash first before it penetrates towards the left sword slash.
After the tip of the condensed mana sword that was covered in my stored channeled mana came in contact with the right sword slash of the X slash sword move of the level 77,000 great forest spirit, the right sword slashes shattered, and what came after that was the left sword slash being also destroyed by the sword thrust.
I easily countered the X slash sword move of the level 77,000 great forest spirit using the sword thrust that I had executed and it worked as I had expected.
The level 77,000 great forest spirit wasn't that surprised that I had countered its sword move and instead, the level 77,000 great forest spirit had anticipated another sword move from me.
The level 77,000 great forest spirit was right to expect another sword move from me since that wouldn't be the last sword move that I would execute.
Whenever I executed a sword move, it would be unlikely that I would end it with just one sword move since I'm the type of swordsman that would perform multiple sword move combos in quick succession.
By doing sword move combos in quick succession, my chances of defeating my enemies would increase so that's one of the reasons why I did that.
After I destroyed the X slash sword attack of the level 77,000 great forest spirit, I quickly channeled the mana inside my body to increase the output of mana used in activating the [Flight] skill.
By doing so, it allowed me to quickly fly towards the level 77,000 great forest spirit which closed the distance between me and the level 77,000 great forest spirit in an instant.
After that, I took a hold of the condensed mana sword that was floating beside me and I was now armed with two condensed mana swords on each of my two hands.
It was time to show the level 77,000 great forest spirit a genuine X slash sword move.
