Volume 2 Heroes of Might and Magic of Might and Magic: The Death Battle Chapter 143 Amakusa
"Hey Li Wei, how's it like coming to the Shadow Hall for the second time?"
The Daoist was still the same as before, dressed in a suit and tie, looking like a successful businessman. At this moment, he was sitting in a chair, leisurely drinking a pot of tea.
"It feels good." Li Wei sat opposite, looking at the tea the Daoist had handed him a few minutes earlier, but his heart was filled with helplessness.
"Don't worry too much. Everyone dies eventually, let alone the whole world. Remember, nothing lasts forever. Remember this: destruction is rebirth. That Black Paper is right. All we can do is adapt to the New World that is about to begin!" The Daoist finished his tea.
"There are many reincarnators here. They have all become extremely powerful people in the real world. Corporate presidents, heads of state, even gangsters and African warlords. Believe me or not, the future world belongs to the reincarnators. Perhaps only in this way can humanity continue to reproduce. This is the way of heaven, and I will not go against it. I also hope you will stop wasting your efforts. Last time, the Black Mist Extermination Battle that you directed was indeed spectacular, but it cannot change the final outcome."
"Seven days from now is the final deadline. Make arrangements for your family in the real world. This is my advice to you."
Li Wei remained silent, slowly digesting the Daoist's words. He had roughly guessed these secrets after seeing them on the Black Paper in the world of characters, but he needed to find the Daoist to confirm them.
New World?
Perhaps this isn't a bad thing. It's just that there are only 7 days left, and we need to make sure everything is arranged in this time.
Even the Daoist didn't know what would happen in seven days. All he could do was prepare for the coming darkness.
"Oh, right, Li Wei, that person on the Devil's wanted list. Yuan, isn't that you?" The Daoist suddenly remembered this and quickly spoke up.
Li Wei nodded in response.
"I knew it! I think you should deal with the troubles right now first. The Bear King's backer is the Ugly Reincarnator, a guy named Amakusa. He's probably the best swordsman among all the reincarnators." The Daoist Daoist calculated with his fingers and jumped up.
"He knows where you are, run!"
Li Wei, however, remained seated in his chair and sneered, "Leave? Why should we leave?"
After staring at Li Wei for a moment, the Daoist sat down again. "Hehe, that's right, you're not what you used to be, you've changed a lot! You're really amazing. Do you still have that pill I gave you?"
Li Wei nodded.
"That's good. When you reach the peak combat power level, use that pill. It will be of some help to you."
As they were speaking, a tall and burly man rushed in through the entrance of the Shadow Hall. He glanced around, and when he saw Li Wei, a sinister smile appeared on his face.
"Now that the pet account is here, I won't be watching the show, kid. Know your limits. I know you have ways to save your life. I have to go to the mission world. I'll be going now!" The Daoist chuckled, got up and left.
Li Wei knew that the Daoist wasn't afraid, but rather that he had already foreseen the outcome. Since that was the case, was there any need for him to stay and see?
Moreover, the Daoist's combat strength rating has reached the "bowing" level.
"He's another one, a cunning old fox!" Li Wei shifted his attention to the Ugly Number Reincarnator.
"Numbered Ugly Reincarnator, Amakusa Sword Soul. Attributes unknown, special skills unknown, combat power rating: Tian."
It seems this so-called Reincarnator is indeed no ordinary person.
"Hmph, so it's just a random number." Amakusa originally saw Li Wei's number through his Insight Technique and was somewhat dismissive of him. However, when he saw Li Wei's combat strength rating, which was actually at the same level as his own, he immediately swallowed his words.
"Bear King, come here!" Xiao Amakusa shouted. A tall figure ran up behind him, none other than Bear King, who had been crippled by Li Wei in the Free Market last time.
At this moment, he must have used a spiritual medicine to heal his physical injuries. As a reincarnator, as long as he doesn't die, he can use his points to buy healing spiritual medicines to Cure, but obviously, this is a considerable expense.
The Bear King, despite his towering stature, appeared noticeably shorter than Amakusa. He examined Li Wei closely and exclaimed, "It's him, Amakusa! It's him! You must stand up for me!"
Amakusa sighed inwardly, already cursing the Bear King to the bone. He had only estimated that Li Wei had reached level 1, but he hadn't expected him to be at the same level as himself. This put him in a bit of a dilemma.
However, things have come to this point, and with so many people watching, he can't turn back.
Moreover, possessing the Amakusa's Soul, he has the special skill "Swordlight Orb," which alone makes him stronger than many other reincarnators of the same level.
"Are you going to take action?"
Li Wei suddenly spoke up, sensing the increasingly intense killing intent emanating from the reincarnator opposite him.
"The Bear King works for me. You severed your own arm, so let's pretend this never happened." Amakusa was already giving Li Wei a lot of face. In Shadow Street, after losing an arm, as long as you find a skill with Regeneration abilities to learn, it can grow back.
"Is that so? You've cut off your own arm, and I'll pretend this whole thing—disturbing my tea—never happened!" Li Wei's words were like a fuse, instantly igniting Amakusa.
"Court death!"
Amakusa raised his hand, and a blue orb of light appeared in his palm. With a whoosh, a sword light shot out from the orb and slashed towards Li Wei.
Li Wei also summoned the Black Spiral Sword, and with a fierce flick of his wrist, he unleashed a slash of sword light as well.
The two sword lights collided instantly.
"Bang!"
The open-air tavern was truly devastated. The shooting sword energy shattered the entire wooden floor and tables and chairs into pieces.
"You also wield a sword? Haha, then today is your death anniversary. Amakusa's Soul —whoever possesses it is the greatest swordsman in the world. In a sword fight, you will undoubtedly lose!"
Amakusa laughed wildly upon seeing the Black Spiral Sword in Li Wei's hand, but his figure vanished like a phantom. Li Wei, however, felt a chill creep up his spine. He turned and barely dodged the attack.
Immediately following, Amakusa's attack arrived.
This time, Li Wei was a beat slower. A bloody gash appeared on his shoulder.
The surrounding reincarnators, to avoid being drawn into the battle, watched from a great distance. The Shadow Hall only allows entry to those at the highest level (level 1-3). Of course, many powerful individuals' direct slaves are also permitted to enter.
However, they are all powerful beings standing at the top of all reincarnators. In this struggle, they will not favor either side. This is a world where people can die at any time, and only by protecting themselves can they live longer.
This rule applies even to top-tier experts.
"Hey, tell me, who's stronger between these two?" A newly reached level 10 Reincarnator, arms crossed, watched the battle with great interest. Perhaps caught up in the excitement, he asked a Reincarnator next to him.
"Both of them are skilled swordsmen. I know Amakusa; he's a Tier 1 swordsman who claims to be the greatest swordsman in the world. His Swordlight Orb is indeed powerful. You also bought the Insight Technique, so you know my rating is quite high. If he wants to fight me, I'll only have to run for my life! Therefore, I think he has a better chance of winning."
"Hmph, I disagree with you. Amakusa Swordlight Orb is indeed powerful, but the person he fought was by no means weak either. Before I came, I saw him..." A burly man beside him said, glancing around before continuing in a low voice, "I saw him drinking tea with Taoist He. Think about it, what kind of status does Daoist have? To be able to drink tea with Daoist, how could he be weak!"
"Is this really true?" The other two reincarnators were greatly surprised.
"Of course it's true! The Daoist's combat strength has reached the level of a high-ranking Daoist, and his Daoist cultivation is terrifyingly powerful. I don't even dare to greet him when I encounter him normally. So I think that young man will win!" "The Daoist is powerful. That's the Daoist's skill, it doesn't mean that the reincarnator is also powerful. I'm willing to bet four points that Amakusa will kill that person!" The reincarnator who spoke first said confidently.
"Hehe, alright, I've got nothing better to do, I'll play along with you. I'll also bet on Dan Si, Amakusa will lose!" The big man laughed heartily.
"I'm betting on Amakusa too!"
"Me too"
A conversation unexpectedly led to a betting scheme. Moreover, the number of advanced reincarnations participating was increasing, with some even betting tens of thousands of points.
However, Amakusa was a veteran who entered the Shadow Hall relatively early, so he had the most supporters, and the odds were evenly distributed. Even so, most people still bet on Amakusa.
Li Wei deflected the three sword lights with a wave of his hand and took two steps back. His body was already covered in bloodstains, while his Black Spiral Sword had only managed to slit the hem of his opponent's clothes.
"That ball of light was truly amazing. His sword strikes were all guided by his thoughts, while I was still bound by the physical form of my arm and sword. In terms of weaponry alone, he was far superior to me!" Li Wei concluded.
He had completely figured out Amakusa's attack methods, so there was no need to waste any more time.
Five Senses Release!
Li Wei instantly unlocked his Visual Sense; this was the only perception he could currently unlock, but the effect was terrifying.
Amakusa suddenly realized that no matter how fast his sword light was, it would be blocked by his opponent, and the eyes of that person made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Suddenly, a crackling sound of electricity flashed across his arm, instantly turning Amakusa's face deathly pale, and he abruptly retreated.
That lightning bolt was from a protective bracelet that Amakusa obtained during the mission. It could withstand three fatal attacks, and he had already used it twice during the mission, but he never expected that the last one would take effect here.
But how is that possible? That guy on the other side didn't even make any attack move, so why did the protective bracelet automatically defend?
Could it be that...
