Summoned Swords' Teleportation

Richard leaned back against the sofa backrest and leisurely browsed the introductions to the 7 new abilities.

[Super Vision: Telescopic vision and x-ray vision]

[Attack Transfer: Can transfer attacks directed at oneself to other directions, causing the attack to miss or deviate]

[Air Bullet: Compresses air to create air bullets with power and speed comparable to assault rifles, can be fired continuously]

[Invisibility: Optical invisibility]

[Illusion Creation: Uses mind power to make enemies experience illusions]

[Mental Whip: Uses mind power to directly attack the target's mind, causing the target to feel pain on a mental level, and their body will also feel like it's being struck by a powerful electric current]

[Hypnotic Suggestion: Hypnotizes the target through mind power, or leaves undetectable psychological suggestions on the target, making the target unknowingly follow one's arrangements]

As usual, the introductions provided by the system were very simple.

However, this was enough for Richard to know the strengths and weaknesses of these 7 new superpowers.

First, these 7 superpowers are all Beta-level, which is not a low level.

Second, these 7 superpowers can all achieve good results at specific times.

Finally, and most surprisingly to him, among the 7 superpowers plundered this time, there were actually 3 from the mind domain.

Adding the Mental Isolation and Mental Charm he already had, he now has a total of 5 superpowers in the mind domain.

In terms of quantity alone, the mind superpowers he currently possesses are not few.

But unfortunately, these 5 mind superpowers combined are still no match for Professor X.

To be precise, let alone compared to Professor X, there is still a considerable gap even when compared to the White Queen of the Hellfire Club.

Although he is not comparable now, Richard firmly believes that as long as he continues to plunder superpowers in the mind domain, he will one day become a mind ability user no less than Professor X.

Not only that, his intuition tells him that as long as he plunders a few more superpowers in the mind domain, mind domain superpowers such as Mental Isolation, Mental Charm, Illusion Creation, and Hypnotic Suggestion will be merged into a more comprehensive and powerful mind ability.

Although this is just his intuition, he trusts his intuition.

After browsing the information on the new abilities, Richard began to browse the system task information.

[Task "Son of the Devil (II)" has been completed!]

[Task reward Summoned Swords has been sent!]

[Obtained new weapon: Summoned Swords!]

[Summoned Swords: A weapon originating from Vergil, a longsword condensed from magic power, it is both a weapon and a skill!]

The system's introduction to Summoned Swords was as brief as ever.

However, for Richard, who already knew what Summoned Swords were, even if the system didn't provide any explanation, he was very clear about what abilities Summoned Swords possessed and how to use them.

Unlike Dante, Vergil didn't like using firearms.

Therefore, Summoned Swords became Vergil's main method of long-range attack.

Although it's a sword, Vergil doesn't use Summoned Swords for close combat, but rather launches them like flying swords.

In addition to being used for ranged attacks on enemies, Summoned Swords also have some additional special effects.

For example, restraining enemies, and grabbing objects to teleport oneself or the enemy.

Restraining enemies goes without saying, it's used to restrict the enemy's movement.

As for grabbing objects to teleport oneself or the enemy, it's a teleportation ability similar to Flash.

However, unlike Flash, the teleportation of Summoned Swords has certain limitations.

For example, it needs to use the Summoned Swords themselves as a carrier.

When a Summoned Sword hits an enemy, one can choose to instantly move to the enemy's front, or choose to instantly move the enemy to one's own front.

From another perspective, Summoned Swords are somewhat like the "Flying Thunder God Technique" with a reverse teleportation function.

In the game, Summoned Swords can also be used as a skill and have several sword arrays with different functions and effects.

But the system did not classify Summoned Swords as a skill, but rather classified them as a weapon.

For Richard, this was not only not a bad thing, but rather a good thing.

Because it meant that he only needed to adjust the magic power output himself to make the Summoned Swords exhibit different speeds and power.

After recalling the various sword arrays of Summoned Swords in his mind, Richard closed the information panel and immediately began to summon Summoned Swords.

Although they are both weapons, it is clear that compared to the Masamune, the Summoned Swords condensed from magic power are very different.

The Masamune is a real physical long blade that will not disappear whether it is used or not.

Summoned Swords are different.

Because they are longswords condensed from magic power, Summoned Swords cannot be maintained for as long as the Masamune.

When the magic power used to condense the Summoned Swords is exhausted, or after launching the Summoned Swords like flying swords, new Summoned Swords need to be condensed again.

Although he had only just received the Summoned Swords, the moment he obtained them, Richard had already mastered the method of condensing them.

With a thought, a portion of his Magic Power was consumed, and a Summoned Sword, over a meter long and emitting an azure blue light, appeared in his hand.

Looking at the Summoned Sword, which was identical to the one in his memory, Richard stood up, held the Summoned Sword in his right hand, and began to swing it around in the living room.

Although Vergil only used the Summoned Swords as a long-range attack method, this didn't mean Richard had to do the same.

After all, the Summoned Swords were still swords, and could be used for melee combat.

While their Sharpness couldn't compare to the Masamune, they were no weaker than a Metal Longsword.

With the skills he had from using the Masamune, he wielded the Summoned Sword in his right hand with fluid ease, extremely proficiently, without any discomfort.

If there was any difference, it was that the length of the Summoned Sword was much shorter than the Masamune, requiring him to readjust to the Attack Distance.

However, this was not a difficult task for him.

After practicing in the living room for a few minutes, he used Flash and left the living room with the Summoned Sword.

After flashing several times in succession, he arrived at a park only two to three kilometers away from the house.

This was a very ordinary Small Park, not very large in area.

Because it was nighttime, there was no one in the park.

After flashing into the park, he looked towards a large tree about seventy to eighty meters away from him.

Without any hesitation, he raised his right hand and flicked it lightly. The Summoned Sword, like a Flying Sword, flew towards the large tree like Lightning.

Whoosh! The Summoned Sword sliced through the air like a Blue Laser, leaving behind a fleeting Blue Line.

In just an instant, the Summoned Sword precisely pierced through this large tree.

Then, it passed through the trunk and hit another large tree dozens of meters away, with more than half of the sword body embedded in the tree.

Upon seeing this scene, Richard didn't hesitate and immediately used the Summoned Sword's Teleportation Ability.

The next second, he teleported in front of this large tree as if he had used Flash.

On the surface, the Teleportation of the Summoned Sword and Flash were identical, but he quickly discovered the difference between the two.

Putting aside the fundamental differences.

Just from the perspective of teleportation, the Summoned Sword's teleportation was a little "faster" than Flash.

This "faster" didn't mean the Summoned Sword's teleportation speed was quicker, but rather that the Summoned Sword's teleportation had no so-called "Skill Wind-up" time.

As long as the thought of teleporting appeared in his mind, he could instantly teleport in front of the Summoned Sword.

However, using Flash had a very brief "Startup" time, which usually had no impact but could easily become a Fatal Weakness in High-speed Combat.

Although there wouldn't be many enemies who could capture this time and cause damage in this brief period of only zero point zero something seconds, it was still a weakness of Flash.

Inessa, who was killed by his Octaslash in the Restaurant Parking Lot, was a good example.

After experiencing the difference between the Summoned Sword's Teleportation and Flash, Richard didn't immediately return to the Unoccupied House that was for sale. Instead, he continued to practice with the Summoned Sword in the park.

Being able to use something and being able to use it proficiently were two completely different things.

In order to familiarize himself with the use of the Summoned Sword in different situations as quickly as possible, he felt it was necessary to practice properly.

Because if nothing unexpected happened, starting from tomorrow, he would become a Fugitive on the Department of Mutant Affairs Wanted List, second only to Magneto.

While he was practicing with the Summoned Sword in the deserted Small Park, Cyclops and Storm were piloting the X-Men's iconic Blackbird and rushing towards Los Angeles at full speed.

At the same time, Mystique was also heading to Los Angeles with several members of the Brotherhood of Mutants.
