202 Waning Moon's Desperate Battle (3)

Canyue opened his private communication and chatted with his subordinates inside the spaceship. Soon after, Mo Zilan and his men came out to greet him.

"Dad?"

Mo Zilan excitedly stepped forward, and Canyue hugged him, casually stuffing a card into his arms.

"This is--"

"Don't say anything, child." Crescent Moon gently stroked her son's hair. "This is all my savings. If anything happens to me, take it to Valkyrie Fortress. It's a neutral zone. You can use it to rebuild your life."

Mo Zilan nodded.

This was a pre-arranged script, specifically spoken for the soldiers of the Night Butterfly Federation.

In reality, what Can Yue gave him was definitely one of the fragments of that Forbidden Knowledge, the Eye of Discernment.

"But what about you, Dad?"

"In the short term, I may not be able to find that bastard named Du Zexin."

Crescent Moon turned her head and looked at Li Aoz, who was shrouded in the Dark Domain: "However, I can at least get you one Sequence Aura."

Within the Dark Domain, only those who had undergone prior surgery could see normally. In such a vast area, the enemy would either bombard it with massive firepower or engage in close combat, waging a guerrilla war.

This amount of time is enough for Mo Zilan to use that Forbidden Knowledge to resolve the aftereffects.

Canyue touched her son's face, then turned her head and walked past the soldiers.

"Wait, where are you going?" Bravo's teammate shouted quickly.

"That Italian in the sky is Nastisha, the Storm Bringer. She's yours."

Crescent Moon tilted his head, and azure armor rose from his body, a crescent-shaped helmet covering his face:

"The students are her weakness; I'll go and get them!"

Dictator Form activated! Crescent Moon's body was enveloped in dimensional fragments, and its entire body's Aoneng was integrated, greatly increasing its efficiency. It accelerated straight towards Li Aoz! Relying on the concealment of the Dark Domain, the opponent would definitely not be able to detect it.

This time, he won't behead him. He'll just pierce his heart, slice him into pieces with Dimensional Slash, and bring some back to extract his [Gravity] Aoneng.

Victory is within reach! The crescent moon appeared instantly, slashing down at Li Aoz with a hand chop.

Just as he tore through the dimension and silently slashed down, he suddenly saw a pair of silver runes light up in the ethereal spatial ripples above Li Aoz's head.

Requisitioning Aoneng - [Eye of Truth]

Crescent Moon talked with Bravo's team, whispered to Mo Zilan, and then activated her transformation to pounce on him.

Li Aoz witnessed the entire process.

But he did not act immediately; instead, he stood quietly in place, waiting for an opportunity.

Crescent Moon strode forward silently, and the torn dimension showed no reaction. He was absolutely certain that his hand chop would cleave Li Aoz in two, just like his past enemies.

[Player ' Ye Zhangjian ' trades you the item - Tsu・Shadow Edge]

Just as Crescent Moon's hand blade swung down with incredible speed, Li Aoz suddenly moved.

Suddenly, he grasped a long, narrow black Tachi in his hand, the blade wreathed in purple resentment, and slashed out at an angle.

Sizzle—

Crescent Moon's right arm was precisely severed, and the radiation damage continued to erode his armor.

Blood gushed and splattered, and Canyue's expression changed drastically.

This weapon... doesn't rely on physical cutting through the blade, but rather on radiation damage to kill.

"Lioz, you—"

Crescent Moon clutched her severed arm and retreated rapidly, her eyes filled with shock.

—This guy's strength has increased so much in an instant?

It completely surpassed the level of our previous encounters.

call out--

Li Aoz calmly wiped the blood off the blade.

Compared to the True Damage dealt by Jannia [Lord of Metal and Iron], which is blocked by the layer effect of Crescent Moon, it also quickly depletes his mana.

Using Tsu・Shadow Edge's radiation damage directly doesn't consume much of his mana, and it can still deal continuous erosion damage.

"I'm waiting for someone to deliver weapons. What are you waiting for?"

He had already seen people discussing the tasks posted by Li Aoz on the forum, and some were even live-streaming the progress. He had an advantage in information at all times.

Crescent Moon knew nothing about him, not even that he held his son's [Crescent Moon] Aoneng in his hands.

Crescent Moon took a few steps back, just about to call for help from Bravo's squad.

Whoosh!

Lightning pierced through the Dark Domain, and Dean Nastisha, her body crackling with electricity, descended to the earth, staff in hand. The storm brought her information from all directions, and she slammed her staff into the ground in an instant.

Boom! In an instant, countless magic circles appeared behind her, densely packed like a swarm of locusts, almost suffocating, and began to spin rapidly.

"I didn't want to go to war, but you forced me and even hurt my students..."

Nastisha twirled her staff, a smirk playing on her lips, and said:

"Thunderstorm - Unrestricted".

The next moment, thousands of magic arrays burst forth with light, instantly unleashing bursts of scorching silver lightning towards the position where the Bravo squad was located.

"Bravo III! Activate the magnetic field shield! Bravo VII! Recite the incantation—Bravo V and IV, deploy close-in weapon systems to intercept!"

Bravo's squad calmly dealt with the enraged [Storm Bringer], and probably wouldn't be able to pay attention to Crescent Moon for the time being.

"Where are you looking?!"

Li Aoz arrived in an instant. He raised his long sword and slashed it cleanly, circling the crescent moon like a dancer. Taking advantage of the opponent's dodge, he nimbly circled behind him and slashed down again, cutting open the flesh on his back.

Crescent Moon was put on the defensive for a moment. His dimensional jump was restricted, and he was unable to dodge for a short time. Under the absolute power suppression of the [Bloodline], Li Aoz was simply a [Martial Artist] of the same level.

Close combat is extremely disadvantageous for him.

Just as Li Aoz was about to pierce the opponent's heart with his sword, suddenly, the blade was accurately hit by a burst of bullets, deflected, and embedded in the ground.

He turned his head and saw Mo Zilan holding a precision marksman rifle, struggling to load the weapon while glaring at him through gritted teeth. "Don't touch my dad!"

Instead of gratitude, Crescent Moon was terrified and shouted at her son:

"Don't come out!"

Player ' Cumin Powder ' trades you an item - Dust-Sealed Sanctuary.

"Bright light forges precious blades, their sharpness dispels evil."

Li Aoz clenched his right hand in the air, grasping the Dust-Sealed Sanctuary. The giant sword, like a box, suddenly cracked open, bursting forth with brilliant light. It quickly constricted into a light-forged blade. With Li Aoz's energy flowing into it, the light-forged blade instantly extended, pressing against Mo Zilan's throat.

"You bastard!" Crescent Moon's eyes flashed with rage, and she was about to explode.

"Don't move!" Li Aoz said coldly, "Otherwise, your son will lose his life."

"Well--"

The fragments of light scattered, burning streaks on Mo Zilan's smooth skin. The intense heat made Mo Zilan scream, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.

Even so, he still shouted loudly:

"Leave me alone, Dad! Kill this bastard!"

"Let him go!" Crescent Moon growled, her tone softening considerably. "I'll give you whatever you want, Lioz. You're not that kind of person, are you? You keep your promises at school, you're not the kind of person who doesn't follow principles—don't lay a hand on a child, okay? He's just a child."

Li Aoz planted the Tsu・Shadow Edge in the ground with his hand behind his back, raised his right hand, and beckoned to his opponent:

Give them back to me.

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Crescent Moon comforted the other person and took out four cards from her pocket, "You want people, right? Your good classmates are all here."

"Put it on the ground, then turn around, walk a hundred meters away, put your hands behind your head, and squat down."

Crescent Moon was extremely obedient; he did as he was told, placed the card on the ground, turned around, and shouted loudly, "One step, two steps..."

After walking a hundred paces, he spread out his hands, Dou Shou to indicate that he had no weapon, then covered his head and slowly squatted down.

Li Aoz, holding the light-forged blade in one hand, walked to the card's location, put away the blade, and bent down to pick up the card.

He turned the card over, and on it were, in order, images of James II, Maria, and two students he didn't recognize.

Hobbes and Lucite are not included at all.

"We've been tricked!"

Crescent Moon grinned, turned around instantly, and tore open a dimensional rift with his backhand, separating Li Aoz from him. Then he quickly ran towards Mo Zilan.

This is the victory of experience!
