The Great Martial Arts Battle

Mordekaiser's chest armor wasn't closed; there were many gaps between his sides, clearly showing the location of the Death Rune. 🎉ൠ 🐤👤

Kayle relentlessly attacked the gaps, the Power of Light covering the Demon-Binding Blade, making it incredibly powerful!

Nullifying Weapon can suppress many magical and Natural Power, but they do not resist the Power of Light. On the contrary, their gold and white combination makes them even more dazzling!

Mordekaiser was becoming increasingly difficult to deal with, and in his panicked state, Kayle seized the opportunity to slash at his left ribs, then flipped her blade and pried off a large piece of his armor.

Before he could absorb it back, I snatched the Iron Armor and handed it to Ashe to seal with True Ice.

Mordekaiser was both shocked and furious. He should have known about the battles we had fought along the way, but he never expected Kayle to suddenly become so powerful!

Actually, it wasn't just him; I never expected that a fully-fledged angel could be so terrifying—he was practically an immortal war god!

Moreover, she combined my swordsmanship with Djis's spear technique, making her a formidable opponent for Mordekaiser.

The fierce battle continued for a while longer. Mordekaiser's Death Qi was gradually suppressed by Kayle's Power of Light, and the iron sand around him was also greatly weakened. Now we can make our move!

Udyr was already itching for a fight, his palms whistling fiercely in his Giant Bear form. I was also ready with my Wind Slash at its best, and the Gale Sword vanished from my hand into nothingness.

As Udyr slammed into Mordekaiser's left ribs, he flew directly in front of me. I raised my Gale Sword and met him head-on, just as I had done with Karthus.

The instant the Gale Sword touched Mordekaiser, a sharp, piercing metallic scraping sound reached my ears. The Wind Force suddenly vanished, and he used my momentum to twist his body and swing his mace at me.

It turns out that even the strongest Wind Force I could gather could be devoured by the Death Qi. That's truly unreasonable.

Since the Wind Force won't work, I'll use swordsmanship; that way, I can save a lot of energy!

Jax once said that there is no clear distinction between strong and weak in strength, and that Martial Arts can defeat magic and even the Natural Power!

After a long time, I felt much more comfortable using the Wind Blade. After these days of practice, I have fully mastered the essence of the Wuju Swordsmanship School and Janna's teachings. Although I haven't reached the peak of Martial Arts, I am much stronger Mordekaiser!

Gradually, Udyr retreated to the outer perimeter to control the team, while Kayle and I focused all our strength on Martial Arts combat against the powerful enemy!

With an indestructible body, attacking with all one's might using swordsmanship is truly exhilarating!

As the battle intensified, Mordekaiser was already badly wounded. Soon, Kayle seized the opportunity to cut off his arm and mace again, and I took the chance to smash his chest cavity and pull out the Death Rune!

After losing the Death Rune, Mordekaiser was no longer able to reassemble his body, but his consciousness had not yet vanished:

"Angels are such powerful beings; their formidable physique and Power of Light shattered my centuries-old dream."

"You are neither a person of this era nor an immortal god; you have no reason to continue existing."

"Heh, I disdain divine positions! I will destroy the gods and return life to its true nature!"

"It's such a pity that you remained so stubborn even as you were about to disappear. But rest assured, I will bury you here and witness the Shadow Isles regain their former beauty."

"Do you really think you can defeat me without paying a price? You living beings are far too overestimated!"

After Mordekaiser finished speaking, he was reassembled once again. He could move freely without the help of the Death Rune, and flesh grew from beneath his armor!

His skin was dark yellow, and his muscles were very strong. Although only part of his body was exposed, long and deep scars could be seen all over his body, and his blood-red eyes were like those of an angry beast!

"It would normally take some time for you to recover your full strength, but I have to return ahead of schedule. Your swordsmanship seems quite impressive; let me have a go at it!"

To my surprise, the fierce battle resumed. Mordekaiser, now back in his Martial Arts!

At first, he was just swinging the hammer haphazardly, but now it's completely different. His hammer technique is exquisite and orderly, and his movements are agile and varied. He is a master of Martial Arts!

Even if he's incredibly strong, he still struggled to fight both me and Kayle at the same time, especially with Varus and others providing support.

Suddenly, he pointed at me and shouted, "Come and fight me in my Cycle of Despair!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I found myself suddenly in a closed space. The scenery around me hadn't changed, but I couldn't see anyone else!

Cycle of Despair? Is this a barrier that forces a one-on-one duel? Whatever, let's have a good fight!

I met Mordekaiser's spiked hammer with Gale Sword, and once again unleashed a masterful Windfury strike, but this time the one-on-one fight wasn't so easy!

Mordekaiser is very strong and fast, and I've never fought someone who uses a hammer before, so I'm still getting used to it.

But it's okay, I'm not afraid of fighting strong people, because I can neutralize most of their strength by applying Uniform Strength!

I was just getting ready to get to work when I suddenly realized that Uniform Strength wasn't working, and I would occasionally feel waves of force rebounding back at me!

"Heh, don't even think about using any tricks. If you want to defeat me, you can only rely on swordsmanship!"

"I see, then I have no way out!"

Since Uniform Strength wasn't working, I stopped thinking about it and focused solely on fighting Mordekaiser.

After a difficult battle, I gradually discovered that his hammer technique was not without its patterns; his attacks in front were incredibly fierce, while his defenses behind him were very weak.

Of course, discovering a weakness doesn't guarantee victory, because getting close to him from behind is very difficult, and my moves aren't perfect either. Mordekaiser also discovered my weakness!

In the past, apart from occasionally sparring with Fiora, I rarely sparred with others. The people of Ionia were no match for me, so apart from my weakness in swordsmanship, I never found any other shortcomings.

Now, when fighting someone as strong and powerful as Mordekaiser, I realize that it's difficult to cover both my upper and lower body at the same time. When dealing with attacks from above, my lower body is often unstable, and when I focus on my lower body, I can't effectively deal with attacks from above.

I'd be happy to discover my shortcomings through friendly competition, but this is a life-or-death battle!

This Cycle of Despair wasn't very large, and it was becoming increasingly difficult for me to dodge. Before long, he suddenly swept his legs, and the spikes on the hammer pierced my thighs!

Ignoring the pain, I used the force of the hammer to leap backward, my brain racing as I considered a solution. If I didn't find a good way to deal with it, he would beat me to death in no time!
