Chapter 429: Chapter 0429: Storm

“No… not just a lack of concern, but a touch of gloating.”

Su Lu looked at Bod, sensing a change.

It was one of the abilities of [Wandering Mage], [Mind Magic] could not only be used in the Mental Secret Realm but could also gauge the hidden emotions of others through subtle surface changes.

In the Dream Spirit World, this ability was even more enhanced.

After all, they were all Fifth Level beings! They represented mystery and knowledge, which, despite their best efforts to restrain, kept spreading out.

“Looks like… Schumacher is in trouble!”

Su Lu’s expression tightened, Inspiration spreading as he watched the two men in the middle of the field.

At this point, the Dark Gold Bear, despite the severe injury on its right paw, clutched the short sword tightly. Its left paw raised high with an evident intention to smash Rick into a pulp.

Though his sword was held by the bear, despair didn’t touch Rick’s face, but a cold smirk appeared instead: “Blade storm!”

Boom!

A visible blade light appeared on the short sword, and the sound of the object being cut emanated.

In an extremely soft sound, half of the Dark Gold Bear’s paw fell off, exposing a bleeding wound and a smooth cross section of the skeleton.

Schumacher seemed stunned, unable to respond to the sudden development.

However, the next moment, he saw even more half-moon arc blades in front of him!

Ten! One hundred! One thousand!

Many blade lights combined, forming a storm! A storm of blades!

“Is this… blade storm?”

Arsen exclaimed, a blood-colored armor emerged from his body and the giant axe in his hand directly smashed towards the center of the storm.

Boom!

The giant axe collided with the blade storm, making a tooth-aching sound similar to nails scratching glass.

But it was useless!

The blade storm seemed like a terrifying grinder, grinding the giant axe bit by bit.

At the same time, it also descended on the Dark Gold Bear.

Whoosh!

The terrifying storm swept over, enveloping Schumacher within.

“It’s actually a blade storm!”

The sound of Celsus drawing a breath came, “This is the ultimate ability of the [Sword Saint], not only is its attack power terrifying, it also solves the defensive issue that has always troubled the [Sword Saint]. No spell or ability can break through the defense of the blade storm!”

After all, the [Sword Saint] inherently possessed the magic-breaking characteristic, any spell would be shattered before it could reach the blade storm, and physical entities would fare the same.

The [Sword Saint] at the core of the storm was virtually invincible for a short time!

“Arsen, you’re going too far!”

Seeing Arsen getting ready to make a move, Tops yelled from the opposite side, a terrifying shadow seemed to emerge behind him, instantly spreading a chilling sensation from the depths of their hearts over the whole field.

At the same time, Bob gave a cold snort, slammed his giant shield to the ground and Bod tensed up: “What… you guys want to interfere in the sacred duel?”

The veins on Arsen’s face bulged and he glanced at the people around him. His body exploded in a flash of blood, but it gradually dimmed.

At this moment, the blade storm dissipated, and the figure of the Dark Gold Bear was gone from its original place.

Its massive body seemed to have been directly cut into countless tiny particles by the blade storm, leaving no trace behind!

“Impressive… Blade Storm, I guess I’d have to dodge if I encountered it.”

Su Lu looked at Rick, discovering that the [Sword Saint]’s condition wasn’t great either, which made him feel somewhat relieved.

Is a storm faster than teleportation?

As long as I get out of the range, calmly wait for the opponent’s ‘big move’ to be over, there is hope for a counterattack!

“This Rick…” Celsus lowered his voice from the side, “He has absolutely reached the limit of his profession, and is qualified to be promoted to the sixth level.”

In his voice, Su Lu seemed to hear a bit of nervousness.

‘According to the agreement, both the Goddess Church and the Federation have sent people, one winning and one losing. Now it should be Green Tree Castle’s turn… But Celsus?’

Su Lu glanced at the opponents and snorted.

Celsus’ profession is [King of Assassination], he’s an assassin type who excels in one-hit kills.

And the only legends left on the other side who haven’t taken action are Bob, Bod, and Tops.

If Celsus confronts the Shield of the Earth, it will likely be a tragedy, just like when the [Sword Saint] confronted the [Sacred Warrior] unless he possesses ultimate abilities like ‘blade storm’.

If he chooses to confront Bod, it would be a competition in agility and speed against the [Sword Saint], again, he doesn’t have much of a chance.

It seems that he is most suited to deal with a mage like Tops.

Unfortunately, Tops is not an ordinary mage but a possessive evil spirit!

Su Lu had encountered such a mage before, who was practically a dead man with no weak points.

If you can’t eradicate the fifth-level spirit body that the opponent has, you can’t defeat the opponent.

‘In other words… Regardless of who they put forth, is Celsus completely countered? There’s only a slight chance of victory if he attacks Bod immediately…’

“Next, you send someone first.”

After recovering Rick, Tops looked at Arsen’s side: “Any objections?”

The opponent had already had two people step out first, Arsen’s side had no reason to argue at all.

Lawrence calmly looked at Celsus and Su Lu.

‘I…’

Celsus’ lips moved as if he was about to step forward.

“Forget it, I’ll handle this round.”

Su Lu chuckled and stepped forward.

He thought of Dunstan. Although the old man had some flaws, he gave generous rewards. He was also part of the Green Tree Castle so since he joined the mission, he should contribute.

Not to mention, he was the only one confident enough to walk away unscathed regardless of who he faced.

Since his safety was assured, it seemed right to help out.

“A young legend…”

Tops slowly walked into the field, sniffing,” I sense youth and vigor from you, marvelous… I will be your opponent for this round.”

“As expected, he came forward personally.” Arsen’s expression changed at seeing the match in the field,”Evil spirit mage, the immortal mage Tops!”

Unlike the [Necromancer King] who commands a large number of undead, Tops only commands one spirit.

But that one spirit is stronger than an undead legion, because it was at least a powerful five-level spirit!

One of Tops’ nicknames is ‘Undying Mage’, due to this powerful spirit. Even if he dies horribly, this terrifying spirit will reassemble him and bring him back to life! It is somewhat similar to the immortal nature of the Cursed Spirit.

This is not the spirit’s mercy, but a curse!

Tops’ life and soul can only be reaped by it!

In other words, until the expiration date of ‘death’ stipulated by the Spirit arrives, Tops is truly immortal!

Celsus looked worriedly at Su Lu, but found that the latter’s expression was strange.

It was a complex emotion intertwined with helplessness, regret, and a bit of pity.
