Chapter Thirty: The Light Rune

  Looking at the masked man in front of him, Lin Wu was cautiously on guard. Yesterday, this person had shattered Alice's water ball with an astonishing display of power, and the fact that Poseidon had let him come out clearly indicated that he was more than just a formidable opponent.

  The two men stared at each other for a moment, then both sides almost simultaneously took action. The masked man suddenly pulled out several flying knives and shot them towards Lin Wu. Facing the rapidly approaching flying knives, Lin Wu swung his large sword to knock them away.

  At this moment, Lin Wu was holding the Flame Great Sword lent to him by Alice. Although it was also a magical weapon, the feeling of holding it in his hand was quite different from that of the long sword. The attack speed had slowed down, but the attack power had increased.

  Otherwise, using the original long sword to knock down these few flying knives would be a bit laborious. Seeing this, Lin Wu made a silent decision in his heart that he needed to prepare several more weapons for the future. Different weapons had different effects on skills, and Lin Wu was very clear about this point. Because in the game, he had tried various schools of weapons, and each type of weapon had a great influence on skills.

  The masked man saw his flying knife being knocked off, drew out a short sword and flashed to Lin Wu's front in an instant, with a speed as swift as lightning, which made Lin Wu take a surprise.

  "Bring it on."

  Facing the masked man's astonishing speed, Lin Wu had to be careful in his response. He raised his large sword to meet the charging masked man, but just as Lin Wu's blade was only an inch away from the masked man, he suddenly turned around and attacked Lin Wu from the side.

  Before he could be surprised by the masked man's rich combat experience, Lin Wu's large sword stabbed sideways with a loud crash.

  "Continuous thrust."

  "Ding."

  The 20% hit rate of the consecutive thrusts took effect, and Lin Wu's great sword collided with Masked Man's short sword. At this moment, Masked Man's figure also retreated slightly, which was the additional effect of the consecutive thrusts: knockback. The fact that this effect occurred indicated that Masked Man's strength was inferior to his own, otherwise this effect would have been difficult to appear.

  At this moment, Lin Wu would not let go of this opportunity. Just as the masked man slightly retreated, Lin Wu made his move, unleashing the Three Segment Slash. Using the large sword to execute the Three Segment Slash was a completely different scene. Although the speed of each swing was much slower, each attack had even more power. The Flame Sword carried raging flames, and with Lin Wu's constantly flashing figure, it drew out trails of firelight.

  This is also Lin Wu's first time using a magic weapon to cast this skill, and its power has increased by at least 50% compared to not using a magic weapon.

  The masked man, who had lost the initiative, was shocked to see Lin Wu's mysterious martial arts skills. After barely blocking Lin Wu's first strike, the masked man took advantage of the slight opening when Lin Wu launched his second attack and prepared to retreat out of Lin Wu's attacking range.

  But the masked man didn't know that Lin Wu's three slashes could change direction at any time, and he could closely follow him like a maggot attached to bone, biting tightly onto the masked man.

  Alice, who was standing next to the stage, saw Lin Wu gaining the upper hand and excitedly clapped her hands and shouted loudly. Napasi's face turned somewhat unsightly, they had never thought that this primary swordsman would actually advance to intermediate swordsman, and still be so troublesome.

  Posey made a gesture towards the masked man at this point.

  The man in the mask who was dodging Lin Wu's final slash saw Posey's gesture, hesitated for a moment, and nodded slightly.

  Then the masked man jumped high, and the short sword in his hand suddenly flashed a purple light, "Magic weapon!!" Lin Wu was shocked, and immediately became fully alert.

  "Lightning strike!!"

  The masked man let out a low shout, and suddenly a small lightning bolt burst forth from the short sword, then those small lightning bolts all gathered together to form a huge lightning bolt, shooting towards Lin Wu.

  "This magic weapon is not of a low grade." Lin Wu was shocked in his heart, but at this moment it was not the time to be surprised. The masked man had already turned into lightning and rushed towards Lin Wu.

  The wind attribute Dou Qi in his body surged frantically into the Flame Great Sword, and on the raging flames, a thread of cyan energy appeared with the injection of Lin Wu's wind attribute Dou Qi.

  "Cross Slash!!"

  Facing the masked man who had arrived with a burst of electricity, Lin Wu swung a cross slash in front of him. This time, however, it was not his original blue cross slash, but a new one that was woven from two colors: blue and red. It was a cross slash composed of fire and wind energies.

  Lin Wu's ten-character slash was launched, and the masked man in mid-air suddenly shook violently, "Aura Release!!"

  Bo Xina, who was standing next to the stage, stood up in shock, his eyes filled with an incredulous expression. "No wonder Alice was so confident, it turns out she had this trump card up her sleeve. This person must be used by me, otherwise..." Bo Xina's mind had already begun to formulate a sinister plot against Lin Wu.

  Back to the battle between Lin Wu and Masked Man, although Lin Wu's Ten Character Slash was indeed shocking, a weak figure suddenly appeared in Masked Man's mind, his expression suddenly filled with determination.

  BOOM!!

  The masked man's Thunder Kill and Lin Wu's Wind Fire Cross Slash collided violently, causing a fierce explosion. When the dust settled, both Lin Wu and the masked man were somewhat battered, but Lin Wu had a defensive skill that blocked around 10% of the attack, so he was slightly better off than the masked man.

  "You're strong, but I won't lose." The masked man suddenly spoke up.

  "Is that so? What other tricks do you have?" Lin Wu said cautiously.

  The masked man didn't respond in words. Suddenly, he inserted the short sword in his hand into the arena and began writing something in mid-air with both hands.

  "What is this?" Lin Wu was stunned, he had never had the opportunity to fight against such an opponent, so Lin Wu's weakness of lacking combat experience suddenly appeared. If it were an experienced swordsman, they would naturally know that the masked man was currently using a secret technique from a foreign tribe.

  "Mystic Art: Thunder Formation!"

  Suddenly, the masked man let out a low shout, and an arcane pattern appeared in front of him. Immediately afterwards, several flying knives that had been shot out by the masked man suddenly bounced off the ground and hovered in mid-air, with countless tiny electric currents linking all the flying knives together.

  Finishing everything, Masked Man said to Lin Wudao: "Admit defeat, otherwise you will die."

  "Hmph, won." Beside him, Posey gazed at the lightning-filled arena, a hint of a smile on his face.

  "Kobayashi, don't be stubborn, admit defeat." Alice couldn't help but worry and say.

  "Oh, really." Lin Wu's face showed a hint of calmness, as if he hadn't taken the thunderstorm to heart at all.

  The masked man saw Lin Wu not giving up, his hands quickly formed a seal, and suddenly a bolt of lightning appeared and shot towards Lin Wu. In the face of the sudden lightning, a long white talisman appeared on Lin Wu's hand at some point.

  Light Rune: Increases light resistance by 30.

  Because the light resistance of the ghost swordsmen in the game is very low, Lin Wu had prepared some at the beginning, until later when Lin Wu's skills improved and he didn't use them again, leaving them untouched. This time, while organizing, Lin Wu found these few talismans that increase light resistance.

  He patted the symbol on his body, and the lightning came with it at this time.

  "Bang!" Lin Wu was almost enveloped by the lightning, and the masked man thought to himself: "Sorry, I have to win."

  "Kobayashi!!" Alice's heart skipped a beat as she saw Lin Wu enveloped in lightning, but just as she was about to rush over, Lin Wu twisted his neck and said, "This feeling is actually pretty good."
