I Knew I Shouldn't Have Gone Head-On
Li Yu drew his Tang Dao and met the attack head-on, just in time for the Heretic Gods to transform his weapon into Noble Phantasm.
Li Yu hadn't yet used the Noble Phantasm forging method he learned from the Nasuverse, but now he had the opportunity.
To transform one's weapon into Noble Phantasm, the method is simple: give it a history and achievements. Isn't Verethragna the best example of such achievements?
If Li Yu can kill him with his own weapon, he will be able to upgrade his Noble Phantasm, transforming his weapon into a true Noble Phantasm. Of course, Li Yu's weapon already has such merits.
If Li Yu wanted, he could upgrade it at any time, after all, this weapon was used to kill Apollo, it was a Godslayer Blade.
But who would complain about its many achievements? Since it could kill Apollo, then having another Verethragna wouldn't be bad, and there's even the God King Melqart. The more gods it kills, the greater its achievements, and the more powerful its Noble Phantasm becomes!
"Come on, let's have an exciting battle!" Tang Dao was swung out, clashing with Verethragna's golden greatsword. The two collided with a terrifying metallic clang.
The two sides began to fight. After the first clash, Verethragna quickly sheathed his sword and launched an even more ferocious attack, every move aimed at Li Yu's vital points.
As a military genius, his martial arts skills were undoubtedly superb, at a god-like level. But Li Yu was no less skilled; while parrying Verethragna's attacks, he also learned from his opponent's techniques!
Verethragna had already seen through it, didn't care. If Li Yu could learn all his skills, it wouldn't be bad, would it? With this thought in mind, Verethragna kept demonstrating his moves to Li Yu.
"I'd like to see how much you can learn!" Verethragna said, then intensified his attack. You want to learn? Then go ahead and learn!!
One dared to learn, and the other dared to teach. Under such circumstances, the two fought each other continuously. However, Li Yu gradually discovered that there was something wrong with the moves that Lao Liu taught. If you really used them according to what he taught, then you would fall into his trap.
"Has it been discovered?" Seeing that Li Yu hadn't fallen for the trap, Verethragna wasn't disappointed. He would have been disappointed if Li Yu had actually been fooled, since that would have meant that Li Yu was just a fool who could only copy.
If that's the case, although they're difficult to deal with, they're not a threat. Li Yu chuckled upon hearing Verethragna's words, "Such petty tricks are useless against me. Although I'm learning your martial arts, I'm only using them as nourishment!"
Li Yu's true martial arts skills were never learned from any particular master. He would incorporate everything he learned into his own martial arts, making it the foundation for his Mastery of All Weapons.
"You're truly a formidable opponent. It's impossible to defeat you with martial arts alone. Now I'll have to get serious!" Verethragna's strongest form is still his Ten Avatar.
Although it might be copied, it didn't matter. It would be too difficult to defeat this guy without using his Authorities. He activated the Phoenix Avatar and instantly created distance with a speed faster than Li Yu, and launched a counterattack.
This ability is all about striking first. If the opponent's attack is faster than his, he can be even faster. Verethragna quickly created distance and immediately launched the Wild Boar attack. A huge wild boar appeared instantly and launched a fierce attack on Li Yu.
The giant wild boar charged forward with incredible speed, charging headlong towards Li Yu the moment it appeared.
Seeing this, Li Yu responded instantly, swinging his Tang Dao forcefully and unleashing a massive slash. The power unique to God Slayer erupted; only the power of a god-slayer could defeat such Divine Beast.
The resistance of the Heretic Gods is too high. If you use ordinary True Magic, they can even be immune. This is why many God Slayer actually defeat the Heretic Gods with their Martial Arts.
Li Yu's slash collided with the wild boar, instantly defeating Li Yu and turning it into pure energy that dissipated into the sky. At this moment, Verethragna charged forward.
This time, he didn't use any weapons. Instead, he swung his fist at Li Yu, the Divine Power emanating from it indicating that he had used his Authorities. If nothing unexpected happened, this should be Bull, right?
An enhanced Authorities grants an individual overwhelming superhuman strength. Unlike God Slayer who needs to meet certain conditions to unleash their Authorities, this type of power can be released at will!
Li Yu, not to be outdone, also raised his fist, instantly concentrating all his strength into it. He chose to meet the attack head-on, and the collision of their fists produced a deafening boom, instantly creating a gust of wind.
Crack! In just a moment, a cracking sound came from Li Yu's fist. His fist was instantly fractured, and Li Yu was clearly at a disadvantage in terms of strength.
The pain made Li Yu frown, but in the blink of an eye, the injury on his hand was completely healed. His terrifying regenerative ability was no joke, Verethragna also noticed this.
This made him frown. Was this guy a monster? This regenerative ability was a bit outrageous, wasn't it? He recovered in an instant? Just as he was thinking this, Li Yu moved again!
He retreated swiftly, and a golden light shone in Li Yu Li Yu's hand as a holy spear appeared. Verethragna, sensing this aura, narrowed his eyes. What was that?!
How could there be the aura of the world? Li Yu's sudden release of the weapon made Verethragna dare not be careless, and he immediately reacted quickly, turning the entire sky golden in an instant.
Li Yu unleashed his ultimate Authorities, and he followed suit, unleashing his own. This was his strongest power, Warrior, which could conjure thousands of golden weapons to attack enemies. If he knew all the information about his opponent, he could even sever their Authorities.
However, this move is not very effective against Li Yu now, since the opponent does not know much about Li Yu and can only use it as a normal attack. It can only be used to target Li Yu's Apollo Authorities.
However, Li Yu has not used Apollo's Authorities so far, which means that the opponent is not fighting him with Apollo's Authorities better to use it as a normal attack.
"Holy Lance, pull anchor!" With a loud shout from Li Yu, the spear in his hand thrust out, and golden light burst forth, transforming into a huge golden torrent that poured towards Verethragna.
"I am the strongest victor, obstacles, fall before me!" Seeing this, Verethragna excitedly manipulated the thousands of golden light swords he had condensed to bombard Li Yu's pillar of light.
These weapons converged into a golden beam of light, colliding with Li Yu's attack. Those who were originally planning to come over and touch it were also frightened and retreated when they sensed this aura.
Are you kidding me? This kind of battle is beyond their reach. They can gang up on Heretic Gods, but that doesn't mean they can survive attacks in this area.
Li Yu's magic power is limitless, but Verethragna's weapon is not. The Holy Lance, which Li Yu created with Magecraft, can theoretically be fired indefinitely as long as he has enough magic power, since all the output is magic power.
Therefore, Li Yu decisively increased his magic output, pouring all his magic into releasing the Holy Lance. In the blink of an eye, the beam of light from the Holy Lance instantly surged, then directly absorbed the attack released by Verethragna, and finally hit Verethragna directly.
Verethragna, engulfed by the pillar of light, could hardly believe his eyes. What a joke! Did they think magic was free? Even if the Heretic Gods had resistance to Magic Resistance, he couldn't withstand this kind of free-for-all attack.
Li Yu's attack blasted directly into the distance, and the entire Sardinia was under Li Yu attack. Starting from Li Yu, a huge trench was forcibly carved out.
Fortunately, the people on the island were quite strong; otherwise, if Li Yu had launched that attack, countless people would have died from the unknown area-of-effect attack, and those who sensed something was wrong would have already fled.
After all, once the battle begins, the entire island will become unsafe. You could suddenly die here, and an attack might just pop out from somewhere and hit you.
Li Yu slowly stopped attacking, his gaze falling on Verethragna, who had been hit by a Holy Lance. Veleslana's body was now riddled with holes, and golden blood flowed from his skin.
"Locked in health?" Looking at Verethragna's current state, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Yu's eyes, but Li Yu quickly understood what was going on with this guy. He had used the "Youth Authorities" on him.
Otherwise, Li Yu's terrifying Holy Lance could have taken him down directly. He triggered the Authorities of the youth when he was on the verge of death, which allowed him to recover. However, due to Li Yu's continuous output, the opponent has returned to this state.
It was as if Li Yu had directly knocked his famous sword away. If he could just deliver one more blow, Li Yu could take the opponent down with him. Thinking this, a golden light flashed in Li Yu's hand, and the Holy Spear reappeared.
Seeing this, Verethragna gave a wry smile and said, "What a freak. Are you even human?"
Continuous use without any hindrance? Compared to that, he felt his own Authorities were practically greenhorns. Only after taking such an attack raw did he realize just how terrifying it was.
If he had another chance, he would never choose to confront Li Yu head-on like that, since dodging would have been quite easy. Unfortunately... there's no second chance.
"A genuine human, so please return to mythology!" Li Yu looked at Verethragna and laughed. Another guy questioning his nationality. It seems quite a few people have already questioned whether he's human!
