Chapter 146
In an instant, a golden light shone forth, its brilliance appearing as if it were white light.
"Whoosh—!"
"!"
Seeing this, Amagiri Ayato also leaped high into the air.
Yurith also sensed an astonishingly sharp sword aura erupting from the flames of "Great Wheel Burst Radiance".
In an instant, the "Heavy Wave Flame Phoenix Flower" in front of Yurith shattered into fireflies and dissipated into the arena.
The flames emanating from the "Isolated Red Umbrella Flower" also dimmed.
"Snap—!"
A clear, circular slash mark appeared on all the walls of the entire competition stage, except for the one behind Yurith.
Then, the flames emitted by the Second Round Open "Great Wheel Burst Radiance" were instantly slashed and left blank.
Chapter 68: The moment of transcendence is the moment the seal is broken.
Amagiri Ayato returned to Yurith's side, wary of Luo Mio standing amidst the embers.
Yurith looked at Luo Mio, recalling the astonishing sword energy and golden light from just now.
"That move just now, could it be... 'Raikiri'?"
Amagiri Ayato shook his head and said, "Maybe not..."
"Luo Mio's move 'Raikiri' involves continuously gathering and compressing power. It might look very similar on the surface, but in principle, what Luo Mio just used was simply a concentrated strike."
Hearing Amagiri Ayato's explanation, Yurith smiled wryly and said, "Yes... if it really is 'Raikiri,' then we've already lost."
Moreover, Luo Mio's "Raichi" has already been banned by the six Integrated Enterprise Consortium.
Yurith glanced at Amagiri Ayato.
"Ayato, that's all we have left!"
Amagiri Ayato nodded.
"Um."
——
Luo Mio sheathed her Crow Feather Katana, looked down at "Skoll" in her left hand, and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work, 'Skoll'."
A faint wolf howl emanated from the "Eternal Twilight Wolves," which radiated a pale silver light.
Luo Mio smiled slightly, then raised her head and looked at Amagiri Ayato and Yurith.
When Yurith saw Luo Mio looking at her and Amagiri Ayato amidst the embers, she said, "From now on, it's up to you, Ayato!"
"Bloom! 'Melting Sky Falling Red Flower'!"
Flame flowers fell from above the heads of Yurith and Amagiri Ayato, creating a powerful vortex of explosive winds that enveloped them in fierce flames and scorching heat.
Seeing this, Luo Mio did not make a move, but waited quietly.
A short while later, a figure flashed past quickly within the powerful vortex of flames.
"!"
Luo Mio's heart stirred.
He took a slight step back, and in that instant, a dark red blade of light flashed across the spot where he had just stood, as if cleaving the moon.
Upon closer inspection, Amagiri Ayato was holding a dark red katana-shaped Kou-type Weapon.
Yeah...
Luo Mio glanced at Yurith in the vortex of flames with her azure eyes.
"Flame Vine Ornament King Flower"...
Yurith's support skill is a special move that adds fire attributes to weapons. When this move is used on Amagiri Ayato, it helps him adjust the Stellar Power to make the "Black Furnace Demon Sword" the size most suitable for Amagiri Ayato.
A flash of dark red light appeared again, Amagiri Ayato Luo Mio with remarkable fluidity and speed.
With a swing of her right arm, a golden, lightning-infused sword, Zan Yue, slashed out from Luo Mio's arm.
"White Tiger Drives Lightning - Transformation of Strength - Weeping Willow!"
"Sizzle!"
The "Black Furnace Demon Sword" easily burned Luo Mio's golden Moon Slash in two.
"Drink it—!"
After cleaving Zangetsu in two, Amagiri Ayato held the "Black Furnace Demon Sword" in both hands on his right side and then swept it horizontally towards Luo Mio.
Seeing this, Luo Mio narrowed her eyes, her left hand transformed into a hand blade, and the silver and moonlight colors of the "Eternal Twilight Eyes" on her arm reflected each other.
He also swept it away with a hand chop.
"Clang!"
However, this time, Amagiri Ayato's "Black Furnace Demon Sword" did not easily inflict wounds on him.
As her arm bounced away from the "Black Furnace Demon Sword," Luo Mio instantly raised her right elbow and struck at Amagiri Ayato.
"Thousand Star Falcon"!
Amagiri Ayato had no choice but to raise her sword to block Luo Mio's attack.
Looking at Amagiri Ayato, who had distanced himself from him, Luo Mio thought to himself.
Sure enough... both the speed of the sword swing and the speed of the body were doubled... and each sword swing was incredibly smooth, with the connection between moves being extremely fluid.
Since that's the case...
The Star Mist Shadow surrounding Luo Mio burst forth with even more dazzling and brilliant starlight magic.
"Drawing Foot" is useless against the celestial mist that awakens "consciousness"...
So...
Luo Mio moved her feet slightly, and in the blink of an eye, Luo Mio and Amagiri Ayato by more than half.
He turned his body to the side, clenched his right fist, and slammed it out violently.
Seeing Amagiri Ayato twisted his wrist and used a diagonal slash to block Luo Mio's punch.
But the next moment...
After her first attack was blocked, Luo Mio retracted her right fist, spun her body using her left foot as a pivot, and suddenly swept her right leg out horizontally.
"White Tiger Drives Lightning - Transformation of Strength - Pure Lotus!"
With a clang, Amagiri Ayato was knocked back by Luo Mio.
Her pale purple eyes were fixed on Luo Mio, and she let out a soft breath, readjusting her breathing to its optimal state.
Unbeknownst to him, his own Stellar Power quietly flickered, emitting a faint glow.
——
The Hyperion
Fu Hua on the sofa, watching the duel between Luo Mio and Amagiri Ayato on the spatial screen.
However, her bright blue eyes revealed a sense of helplessness.
A quick glance revealed that Fan Xinglu lounging casually on the sofa beside her, completely unconcerned about her image.
"If you want to watch the game, you can watch it at Jielong yourself, why do you insist on coming here..." Fu Hua said helplessly.
Fan Xinglu waved her hand dismissively and said, "You've been freeloading at my place before, so it's perfectly reasonable for me to come here this time, isn't it?"
Fu Hua said, both amused and exasperated, "Didn't you call me over?"
"Oh dear," Fan Xinglu chuckled, "They're all the same, all the same."
Fan Xinglu's dark golden eyes revealed an unmistakable fighting spirit bordering on murderous intent as she looked at Amagiri Ayato on the spatial screen.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
"That kid's movements have changed a lot compared to previous matches..."
His dark golden eyes glanced at the grey-haired, blue-eyed beauty beside him.
"You helped him, didn't you..."
"Oh? Are you so sure?"
Fan Xinglu chuckled, her eyes flashing with intense fighting spirit as she looked at Fu Hua.
"In the entire Asterisk Warband, apart from that kid 'Shattered Ghost,' no one can give him a significant boost in a short period of time."
"And the 'Shattered Ghost' is incapable of teaching him; aside from him, you're the only other option."
Fu Hua adjusted his glasses, picked up a teacup, took a sip, and looked at Amagiri Ayato, who was confronting Luo Mio on the spatial screen, with his azure eyes, and said, "I just gave her some simple pointers."
"Hehe..." Fan Xinglu chuckled and shook her head.
"Your guidance has enabled that kid to improve his strength by a level in a short period of time. If other people knew about it, they would probably try every means to get you to give them some pointers."
Fan Xinglu turned her eyes back and looked at the screen in the space.
"However, the 'Ghost Qi' lurking within that kid..."
"Clang!"
On the spatial screen, Amagiri Ayato was once again pushed back by Luo Mio's attack.
Shaking her head, Fan Xinglu said, "What a pity. If it weren't for the 'seal' on this kid, I could have witnessed a truly thrilling battle."
Fu Hua chuckled upon hearing her words and said, "Don't worry, you'll probably see a battle that will leave you breathless in no time."
"Oh?" Fan Xinglu looked at Fu Hua in confusion.
Fu Hua laughed, looking at Luo Mio on the screen, and said, "Didn't you notice?"
"Every time Amagiri Ayato clashed with Mio, the Stellar Power emanating from him became even more intense."
Upon hearing this, her previously dull expression instantly brightened, and Fan Xinglu stared intently at the screen.
Fu Hua was also looking at the figure of Amagiri Ayato in the Space Window, and couldn't help but recall the words she had spoken to him yesterday afternoon when she was holding "Ruoshui" and instructing him.
"When your accumulated power surpasses that of the Sealer, the seal that imprisons your power will automatically break."
Chapter 69: The Real Battle! "Seal Released" Amagiri Ayato VS "Lunar Eclipse" Luo Mio
Luo Mio clenched her right fist and lunged towards Amagiri Ayato.
Amagiri Ayato raised the "Black Furnace Demon Sword" high and slashed at Luo Mio with the kasaya slash.
"Clang—!"
The moment the two collided, a strong gust of wind howled and dispersed, and the sound of air being torn apart resounded throughout the stage.
The force of their fists and the energy of their swords swirled around them, creating fleeting sparks.
Luo Mio's eyes flickered slightly.
"The First Transmission of the 'Amagiri Bright Star Style' Sword Technique— Second Flood Dragon!"
Amagiri Ayato took a heavy step forward, unleashing the "Black Furnace Demon Sword," its dark red blade light transforming into a cross as it slashed down on Luo Mio.
Luo Mio moved her feet slightly, retreating to avoid the attack range of the "Black Furnace Demon Sword".
A moon-colored light appeared on the "Eternal Twilight Wolves".
Luo Mio raised her arm and then swung it downwards with all her might.
"Moon Smasher's Fang"!
Three sharp, wolf-fang-like moonbeams appeared above Amagiri Ayato.
Seeing this, Amagiri Ayato twisted his wrist and swung it quickly towards "Moon Smasher's Fang".
At this moment, Luo Mio's left hand, palm out, struck out directly at Amagiri Ayato.
Amagiri Ayato's eyes narrowed, and in front of Luo Mio's attack, the Stellar Power gathered and transformed into a barrier of pale blue light.
