191 Dimensional Slashes
"What's going on...?"
Li Aoz stopped in his tracks, scanned his surroundings, and even used his Mental Power to project his gaze, but he still couldn't find any trace of the crescent moon.
Where did it go?
The mental scan yielded no response, so expecting Element Resonance to reveal information was out of the question— under the 《Under the Crescent Moon》, it was hard to say whose side their charms would be on.
This is why Li Aoz put away Jannia's and the Element Architecture's talents.
Even though it's a battle against opponents of higher levels, dealing with Liu E and Canyue is completely different.
The former is an ordinary researcher with limited attribute suppression. For a thug like Canyue who completely overwhelms him, the more flashy his moves are, the easier it is to expose his weaknesses.
My trump card lies in the White Obelisk and the crescent-shaped Aoneng... but my opponent has more trump cards than I do.
Putting everything else aside, I've already activated my Dictator Form, while the other side hasn't.
Even a fool knows that the [Dominator] type is completely different before and after transformation. Only the Combat Power after transformation is the actual combat power of a [Dominator] type Deified Person.
Crescent Moon's fighting style emphasizes skill and tactics, which is neither good nor bad news for Lioz.
His focus on skills and tactics indicates that he is not physically strong. The fact that he just punched Canyue away shows that he does not have the ability to deal with attacks head-on.
As for his skills and specialties, as well as his divine status, these all need to be carefully understood.
The battle had been incredibly intense, Li Aoz hadn't dared to relax for a moment. Only now, when his Li Aoz was away, did he have a chance to glance at the opponent's attribute panel: ————————————

purely.
Very pure.
Crescent Moon's belief is very firm, and she has a clear understanding of her own position. Such a pure and Aoneng person with absolute confidence is rare even in Star Abyss.
All his knowledge, skills, expertise, and even his name and race are derived from his Aoneng, Crescent Moon.
It's clear that Crescent Moon's Primary Attribute is extremely high, while its other stats are relatively average, except for its [Charm] stat, which is higher than its own.
"This is a typical Yakuza style of play... It's incredibly strong in the early game, but lacks variety in the late game and becomes easy to counter."
It's just that his two divine choices were mediocre... otherwise, the actual benefit would have been close to 700.
But what really caught Li Aoz's attention was his talent.
"Objective Resonance!"
He wanted to become a bishop, and to maintain his advantage, he needed to possess top-tier talent. For a long time, his impression of Ya Wen was limited to this talent.
"I originally just wanted to beat him up, rescue Lucite and Hobbes, and then run away."
This time, it really is a fight to the death.
If we miss this opportunity, we'll have to take away Ya Wen's talent.
Li Aoz made up his mind and was about to continue searching for Canyue's whereabouts, as he was now very clear about Canyue's abilities.
The [Crescent Moon] Aoneng can be used for some very interesting operations in the later stages: for example, randomly summoning some extradimensional creatures to travel and play in a fictional lower universe, or simply banishing people to a withered dimension with no future, or even summoning an isomorphic entity from another dimension - that is, another version of yourself from another dimension.
Based on his understanding of the level of development of the Dominion class, [Crescent Moon] is currently unable to switch dimensions at will and is far from qualified to become a true Dimensional Traveler.
However, the Dominator-level Crescent Moon provides a powerful passive that reduces physical damage by 80%.
[If I were Crescent Moon... I would probably avoid direct confrontation as much as possible. In terms of strength, I have an absolute advantage. If that guy hadn't had a passive ability, that punch I just delivered him to his grave.]
Li Aoz began to think carefully.
His intelligence is not much lower than that of Crescent Moon, so if the opponent wants to think of a tactic, he should be able to think of it as well.
The best way to avoid direct confrontation is to hide in other dimensions and launch ranged attacks to lower his health, then jump out and finish him off.
It's simple, direct, and efficient; you can't even touch him the whole time.
But [Crescent Moon] should be a close-range Aoneng, so how can Crescent Moon strike from a distance?
Just as Li Aoz, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
His right hand... suddenly flew out slowly.
To be precise, there was a break between the space where his right hand was located and his wrist.
When Li Aoz came to his senses, his entire body was cut open in dozens of layers.
There was no bleeding, no breakage; they were simply fragmented, like a torn portrait, yet they maintained his basic physiological system.
[This is— Dimensional Slash!?]
Aoneng derivative skills; this guy knows the techniques of the [Spellblade].
Li Aoz's body instantly shattered into pieces, scattering across the ground, while the Crescent Moon's slashes continued, his body becoming fragmented, like chopped jelly.
Completely powerless to fight back, Crescent Moon perfectly demonstrated what it means to have absolute suppression from a senior.
But he seems to have forgotten one thing.
"The scourge is still hanging on you!"
Time stopped but continued, and no matter how much the Dimensional Slash cut, it couldn't harm Li Aoz, especially since he had enough health and mana regeneration.
"Let's see who runs out of mana first, or whose [Calamity] will suffer first!"
