Chapter 533 Just Like Old Times (2)
Under the astonished gazes of the growing number of onlookers, Siegfried menacingly advanced.
He was fast.
Unfortunately, not fast enough to catch Shye off-guard.
'Heh, if you think you can cross the strength attribute gap with just this, I'm afraid you're gravely mistaken, Sieg!' Shye inwardly thought with a confident smile, aiming both greatswords forward before using one of his reliable gap-closer skills.
'Rush Stab! Boost!'
Winds howled as Shye blasted through the air with unparalleled speed and ferocity, prompting Siegfried to narrow his eyes in wariness.
The intensity of Shye's attack was overwhelming.
However, Siegfried was fully prepared to counter it.
He vanished at the perfect moment by hiding in a spatial pocket, then reappeared behind Shye, whose speed suddenly dropped after losing his target.
Siegfried then wielded his wooden katana with all his might, summoning three illusory swords of different colors: red, yellow, and blue.
Shortly after, the three swords whistled through the air, stabbing straight at Shye's back.
Unfortunately for Siegfried, Shye already predicted that he was gonna disappear before they clashed.
This is why as soon as Shye lost speed due to losing his target, he prepared his next attack, [Half-moon Slash Lv.4 (Uncommon)].
Turning around, he fiercely slashed both greatswords, first the right and then the left, firing off two enormous silver slash marks that formed an X as they flew toward Siegfried.
Then, as the two warrior projectiles clashed, the three swords were easily overpowered, forcing Siegfried to quickly roll sideways to dodge.
'Hoh? Why didn't he disappear this time?' Shye pondered.
Siegfried should be able to dodge his attack easily by disappearing into a spatial pocket.
Hence, Shye couldn't help but question the method he used to evade the attack.
'Can't waste this chance now, can I?'
*GYAOOH!*
Two pairs of pitch-black wings emerged from Shye's back, accompanied by reddish-black horns on his forehead, elbows, and ankles.
A pitch-black armor then materialized on his body, followed by a blood-curdling howl reminiscent of ancient demons, enhancing his attributes, defensive capabilities, and mobility.
This was the final form of Shye's [Fallen] skills.
Experience more on empire
...With one flap of his max-level wings, Shye arrived in front of Siegfried, who had just finished stabilizing his footing.
But hey, it wasn't his fault that his intelligence attribute was higher than Siegfried's, was it?
It would be a sin to fight like an idiot if he had smarter options.
Fully knowing that Siegfried only had one charge of [Spatial Shift] left, Shye initiated the attack once more, flapping his wings mightily to arrive in front of his opponent.
Unfortunately, Siegfried seemed to have predicted it, and with a flap of his own golden wings, he bolted heavenwards with a plan of his own in mind.
Naturally, if Shye knew certain things about his close friend's skills, Siegfried also knew some things about him.
For one, he knew that Shye's wings couldn't be used continuously and that he would have to wait for one second before using them again.
This was enough for Siegfried to use gravity to his advantage, flapping his wings in sync with Shye to descend fiercely.
With this, he was sure that his ace in the hole would snatch victory for him.
Watching the mesmerizing combat scene, where it appeared as though an angel descended from the skies to strike down the ascending demon back into the depths of hell, the onlookers were captivated.
How they wished they could freeze that moment for a few more seconds to admire it.
Unfortunately, a fierce battle was bound to be fast-paced, and the moment that seemed to come straight out of a fairy tale ended almost as soon as it began.
Shye slashed his [Power Slash]-empowered greatsword upwards while Siegfried slashed his katana downwards.
Then, at the last moment, Siegfried hid in a spatial pocket, allowing Shye's greatswords to pass through before reappearing at the same location, brandishing his wooden katana viciously at Shye's neck.
Shye still had another greatsword, though, which allowed him to block the attack.
He even raised it horizontally, entering a blocking motion.
'Ethereal Sword!'
Just when the wooden weapons were about to clash, Siegfried's wooden katana suddenly flickered and passed through Shye's guard.
"It's my win, Crowl–?!"
*ROAR!*
An ear-splitting roar that resembled those of mighty dragons suddenly emerged out of Shye's mouth.
Unfortunately for Siegfried, with no other options to dodge, he fell victim to Shye's skill, [Draconian Roar Lv.5], once more.
As a result, he was scared witless, and it was as if his attack was frozen in time.
The next moment, he felt a strong grip around his neck, followed by the sensation of being violently slammed into the ground.
Soon after, he was engulfed by oblivion.
'Ahh...crap...I lost again...'
