Chapter 260 The So-Called Materialization
Chapter 260 The so-called materialization...
Greed makes people lose their minds.
In order to grab the crown, the five Nen users suddenly attacked Baybo.
Faced with the sudden attack, Baybo calmly retreated to a position where Ryan could help.
Because he wanted to avoid damage to the crown in his hand, he had no intention of counterattacking.
Besides, with Ryan here, he didn't need to worry about this problem for the time being.
"Scum should have the self-knowledge of scum."
Ryan flashed in front of Baybo, exuding surging Nen power, and his thick hair surged in the aura like a raging wave.
The unique momentum of the reinforcement department was revealed at this moment.
The five Nen users who attacked from all directions were shocked by Ryan's momentum, and their pupils shrank sharply.
One of the Nen candidates who rushed to the front was missing two fingers. It was too late to temporarily retreat.
Ryan's eyes were cold, and his figure was wrapped in an amazing aura. With just a kick of his feet, he flashed in front of the candidate with missing fingers.
"Wait, I..."
"Crack!"
Having no interest in what the fingerless psychic wanted to say, Ryan relied on his overwhelming physical strength and psychic skills to easily slap the head of the fingerless psychic on his back.
Puff——
The fingerless psychic fell to the ground and lost his life in an instant.
Killing a psychic with a palm in just one encounter is the most unreasonable advantage of the reinforcement system in frontal combat.
If there is no solid psychic skills and coping methods, after being approached by the reinforcement system, the tolerance rate will be infinitely compressed to almost zero.
In short——
One wrong step means the price of life.
Seeing the fingerless psychic fall to the ground and become a corpse in one encounter, the remaining four psychics were shocked.
Although they had witnessed Ryan's power, they still had no intention of retreating.
Grab it!
Grab the valuable crown!
The strong desire that arose from their hearts was the motivation for them to stay here.
"A bunch of trash also want to get their hands on what I like."
Seeing the persistence of these Nen users, Ryan's eyes became colder and colder, and he had the urge to break their necks.
But the unknown organism in the temple behind him...
was the only variable that made him worry.
Because the strange way that the unknown organism appeared was beyond their cognition, even if the breath of the unknown organism was very ordinary, they had to act cautiously.
"Kill two more and make sure they won't be restrained."
Ryan kicked the body of the finger-broken Nen user away and looked coldly at the other four Nen users in front of him.
Facing Ryan's cold and murderous eyes, the four Nen users were secretly alert and gradually pressed towards the position of Baybo from all directions.
They all wanted to grab the crown, but it was also a fact that they all had their own ulterior motives.
Perhaps it was the desire to take everything for himself, or perhaps it was because their knowledge was too shallow.
They had never thought about cooperating.
"Come on."
On the roof of a building, the knight smiled and looked at the situation inside the field.
In his opinion, the four Nen users who had no self-awareness were already hanging on the edge of a cliff.
Because the hardware strength of the two sides in the field was already very different, coupled with the two factors of "cooperation" and "tacit understanding", the four Nen users would undoubtedly not be able to eat each other.
The knight had already anticipated the result.
Next -
He would make good use of the sacrifices of the four Nen users, so as to collect intelligence while looking for opportunities to "control" the enhanced Nen user.
If this could be done successfully, the success rate of grabbing the crown would soar to about 70%.
The "variable" to be concerned about later was...
As his thoughts turned, the knight looked at Moyu in another direction.
Among all the Nen users present, there were only two people he valued.
One is Ryan, who is a known enhancement system, and the other is Moyu.
The knight had seen Moyu's power in the first test, and the thousands of times he swung his sword with concentration on the top of the mountain.
On the way to the temple, he saw Moyu's ability to deal with the group of armored men and the statues of human heads.
In summary, he thought Moyu was a potential opponent that must be taken seriously.
However...
The knight turned his eyes and looked at the other man with a big back hair holding two arm blades who was traveling with the enhancement system ability user.
From his perspective, the man with a big back hair with two swords seemed to have set his sights on Moyu.
"Hmm..."
The knight raised his hand to his chin.
Now is not the right time to enter the venue. If the people in the venue can kill each other until the end, then the resistance for him to grab the crown will be much smaller.
"Even if it's a potential obstacle, we have to clean it up..."
Seeing the motive of the man with the slicked back hair to target Moyu, the knight smiled and said to himself with a little sigh: "It's hard not to admire such a style."
Inside the field.
Mantis's plan is similar to the knight's judgment.
At this moment, any Nen user who appears in front of him is a potential obstacle to getting his hands on the crown.
So -
No matter right or wrong, just strike first.
This is how Mantis always behaves, and it is also what his companions Ryan and Baibo often do.
"Kill those two little devils as quickly as possible."
Mantis made a decision in an instant, stepped forward with his right foot, and rushed towards Moyu.
Leaving other obstacles to Ryan to solve, the reason why he took the initiative to target Moyu was simple.
It was just that he was best at dealing with people with knife-wielding psychic abilities.
"Menqi, step back."
Looking at Mantis rushing straight at him, Moyu climbed on the hilt with his right hand and calmly asked Menqi to step back.
Menqi had no objection and stepped back obediently, leaving the fighting space to Moyu.
But she did not do nothing, she had to hold the line beside and not let anyone affect Moyu's performance.
If necessary, she would also take action at the right time.
Moyu's eyes were fixed on Mantis, and he calmly pulled out the long sword that had been with him for more than a year.
At this moment, there was no need to delve into the reason why Mantis suddenly attacked.
From the moment the other party expressed his killing intention, there was only one thing to do.
That is to get rid of the opponent.
Moyu released his telekinesis to attach to his body surface, and his right hand tightly grasped the hilt of the knife, his eyes like lightning pointed directly at Mantis.
"This is the first actual combat since I practiced the sword."
There were some waves in his heart, and then it turned into fighting intention, which appeared on Moyu's face.
Using skilled swordsmanship to cut off the death thoughts on the armored man and the human head-holding statue is certainly a very interesting way to test the results of swordsmanship.
But the final way to test is still a duel with masters.
Mantis felt Moyu's fighting intention, and immediately sneered in his heart.
He rushed all the way and stepped into the range where he could attack Moyu.
Without any fancy skills, the arm-blade-shaped double swords tightly grasped in his hands crossed together and chopped towards Moyu's head.
Moyu took a step back at the right time to create space for counterattack, and then swung the sword diagonally to meet the double swords that chopped down.
Clang——!
The long sword wrapped with condensed telekinesis slashed at the crossed arm blades.
Sparks flew where the blades touched.
The telekinesis of both sides set off a turbulent wave of air in the collision, blowing up the surrounding dust.
"Oh?"
Seeing Moyu block the attack so smoothly, Mantis was slightly surprised, and at this moment he regarded Moyu as an enemy that needed to be taken seriously.
Not only because of Moyu's power and telekinesis skills that could block the slash, but also because of the strength of the seemingly ordinary long sword...
It was able to withstand his first wave of "qi" without any damage.
Mantis is a transformation-type telekinesis user. His ability is to give a sharp attribute to the "qi" that speeds up the flow.
With this ability, any opponent who uses a knife that he encounters will be cut off by him without exception in the end, and then fall to the ground in regret.
And his telekinesis ability is called...
"Double swords will give you the answer"
Why did he choose this name at the beginning, Mantis no longer remembers.
However, in the battles he had fought, he gradually felt that this name really fit his fighting style.
He liked the answer of "cut off your knife".
It was more powerful than any words, and more convincing than the thumbs-up gesture. It was the most obvious way to tell others that they were weak.
"Let me admire... your panicked reaction when the blade broke!"
Mantis suddenly exerted force to push Moyu back, and then swung his two knives, interweaving a storm-like attack to cover Moyu.
This was an attack method that completely abandoned defense.
Furious and crazy.
Moyu was slightly startled. In order to resist Mantis's crazy attack, he could only keep raising his knife to block the oncoming slashes.
Clang clang clang...!
The blades of both sides collided frequently, emitting a dense burst of sparks.
Mantis's crazy attack forced Moyu to retreat step by step.
"Master...!"
Menqi, who was holding the line, changed his face slightly.
Even if she was just watching, she seemed to feel the suffocation brought by the crazy attack.
"Can I guarantee 100% accuracy..."
While worrying about Moyu, Menqi gathered her telekinesis on her palm and was ready to support at any time.
But now Moyu and Mantis were fighting each other. In this case, her release attack could easily cause accidental injuries.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Menqi noticed a cold gaze coming from the direction of the temple, staring at her like a venomous snake.
"..."
Menqi looked at the source of the gaze suddenly.
I saw the feminine man holding the crown looking at me coldly.
On the top of the building.
The knight's attention has already fallen on the battle between Moyu and Mantis.
"Good."
Seeing Moyu and Mantis officially fighting, the knight could not hide his joy.
As a user of the operating telekinesis ability, the thing he likes to do most is undoubtedly to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
Now——
Moyu and Mantis are fighting, so no matter who falls, it will be a very favorable situation for the knight.
On the other side.
Ryan, who took the initiative to attack the four Nen users, and Baibo, who was responsible for protecting the crown and had no intention of taking action for the time being, were both paying attention to the situation on Mantis' side.
However, in order to concentrate on clearing obstacles, Ryan did not have much spare energy to continue paying attention, but he had absolute confidence in Mantis.
In his opinion, it was only a matter of time before Mantis got rid of those two brats.
But Baibo can always pay attention to the battle on Mantis's side, and can also lock in any move of Menqi on the side.
But at the same time, he must be alert to the situation in the temple behind him...
It is still unclear what the origin of the unknown organism is. If it is difficult to determine the threat, it is necessary to avoid contact as much as possible.
"There is nothing to fear from these people, but we still need to leave quickly."
From time to time, Baibo looked back at the temple shrouded in green light.
Clang, clang, clang...!
The sound of the close collision of blades echoed over the ruined city and reached far away.
Bolton and others who were evacuating, Dongba who fled in a panic, and even the candidates who were still struggling all heard this loud noise.
They didn't know what was going on.
only--
The previous greedy desire for this ruins has now turned into a desire to escape from here.
Inside the venue.
In that continuous offensive, Mantis exerted the ability of "the two swords will give you the answer".
The increasingly sharp "qi" relied on the continuous blows, making Moyu's long knife like a stretched rubber band, ready to break at any time.
While Moyo was forced to defend, he gradually became aware of Mantis' ability.
"My 'qi' was cut away..."
After realizing this, Moyu did not show any abnormality, and guarded every blow from Mantis without leakage.
Being able to defend as solidly as a mountain amid such a strong attack from the opponent.
He would have never been able to do it a year ago. He could only selectively avoid frontal combat and use other tactics to win.
This is the result of one year of practice.
At least I can consider building a set of abilities based on "swords".
Now--
Let’s defeat the knife master in front of us first.
Moyu retreated in an orderly manner while steadily parrying the attack from Mantis.
After discovering clues about the opponent's ability, Moyu noticed that the opponent's many slashes seemed to contain other intentions.
"Want to cut off my sword?"
The inconspicuous information revealed during offense and defense allowed Moyu to make the most basic speculations.
In a fight, the primary purpose is to cut off the opponent's sword, which is quite unethical.
But when it comes to people with telekinesis abilities, there's nothing surprising.
Under the influence of many factors such as personality, emotions, and preferences, many people with mind abilities will develop some attributes that are almost "paranoid" after awakening "mind".
The telepathic person in front of me, who seems to be able to sharpen "qi", may also have some kind of paranoia.
All in all, Moyu didn't mind trying to use this newly obtained information to create a trap.
"The so-called materialization..."
Moyu's heart moved, and he suddenly used the ability of "Soul Echo" to control the shadows to gradually adhere to his body like black swamp.
Adhering a shadow to the body cannot exert the strength it should, so it is currently the worst way to use "Soul Echo", but it is also a method that does not reveal too much ability information.
He suddenly used his abilities in a situation where he was losing ground.
This may seem like a forced move because he is about to be unable to withstand the defensive pressure, but in fact it is to make the opponent realize "Oh, this is your ability".
"I finally used my ability, but it's too late!"
Mantis sneered.
Cut off!
He spotted the moment when Moyu's power would cause Qi to start to disperse, and suddenly merged the two swords together, while improving the accuracy of "Qi".
Immediately afterwards——
The merged arm blade struck Moyu's sword again.
This time, the long knife in Moyu's hand snapped.
The pursuit is to cut off the opponent's weapon, and then deliver the most satisfying blow when the opponent is stunned, panicked, and shocked.
This is the "answer" Mantis is pursuing.
"!!!"
The long knife broke, and Moyu suddenly showed a panicked look as he lost his defensive support.
"Ah, that's the reaction... Don't worry, I will cut off everything you have in an instant."
The moment that was finally created brought Mantis great satisfaction.
He didn't intend to give Moyu any chance to breathe. He quickly concentrated his mind on the two swords, and then swung the sword to slash at Moyu, who had lost his "defensive weapon" and was exposed to an empty goal.
At this moment, Moyu threw half of the blade towards Mantis as if in a desperate struggle.
But Mantis just raised the two merged knives slightly and accurately swung away half of the oncoming blade.
"Is this your last struggle?"
Mantis muttered to himself, and immediately readjusted the angle of attack, preparing to end Moyu's life with one knife.
However--
Mo Yuna threw the knife and stretched out his palm, but suddenly a long black knife materialized.
This materialization without warning also extended the attack distance out of thin air.
Poof!
So, the tip of the knife pierced Mantis's chest.
"Well!?"
Mantis looked shocked.
