“Did the son of Besse lose?”
“How did he lose?”
“I don’t know, I didn’t see clearly…”
“Drag him back to update the patch!”
“What exactly did Milora do?”
The spectators outside witnessed the scene and were buzzing with discussion.
The match between Milora and Todd ended too quickly and suddenly.
From the perspective of the onlookers, Todd suddenly lost his balance and was struck by Milora with a giant sword before he could even display the runes he obtained from the maze, and then… he was down.
Did she have some special skill? A curse that makes people weak or something?
“…What is that?”
The sharp-eyed Morai naturally noticed something was off at a glance.
Although he was watching the live broadcast from a distance through the light screen (a convenient setting in cultivation novels for spectators to watch dungeon live streams), he could vaguely sense that Milora used some kind of rune.
“Good!!”
Torina breathed a sigh of relief.
Feng Aotian is indeed Feng Aotian.
Even if the first step was wrong, he could make up for it with talent and luck later on.
However, what surprised Torina was…
Feng Aotian truly lives up to his name.
“Contributing an extraordinary performance beyond the audience’s expectations” is basically a standard for every protagonist in the Aotian genre during competitions.
In the past life, reading from the protagonist’s perspective didn’t feel like much, but in this life, from the audience’s perspective, it was clear how extraordinary it was.
Without the system’s assistance, Milora couldn’t have a comprehensive understanding of the battlefield, nor did she know where there were worthy opponents, so she used the simplest and most direct method:
Provoking hatred.
“I get to sleep with Torina every day! I can touch her feet and thighs every day! I’m definitely marrying her! Are you jealous? Too bad!!!”
“““““““You bastard ahhhhhhh!!!!””””””
So without her having to look for them, all the other contestants—everyone who heard her shout nearby—came over.
This is nothing more than a common trope in Long Aotian novels—”The protagonist uses the treasure obtained in the dungeon as bait to lure enemies,” except this bait was a bit abstract, even Torina couldn’t hold it in.
Many contestants attacked Milora together—and Milora’s gravity rune happened to have an instant kill effect and area attack, which was very effective against opponents charging in angrily.
“Weightlessness!!”
She expanded the gravity anomaly field to its maximum, and everyone who stepped in entered a weightless state, unable to control their bodies and colliding with each other.
The various skills they released flew around like wild horses.
The first wave left many injured or stunned, and then Milora swiftly harvested them with her giant sword, a tactic that never failed.
With the essential phase of clearing the small fry done, what about the one-on-one duel with a true expert? Naturally, that couldn’t be left out.
“You can make things you touch lighter or heavier, right?”
Keloron Papating, entered the fray.
His weapon was quite peculiar, with a blade and guard that emitted a bright red glow, and combined with his all-black outfit (and big nose), it gave off an indescribable sense of oppression.
“Hmph… you guess.”
Milora realized the opponent was not simple, probably not someone who could be dealt with using an instant kill, and immediately tensed up.
“Everyone who gets close to you can’t control their bodies, can’t hold their weapons, as if their bodies and weapons suddenly became heavier or lighter… Let me guess, is it gravity? You can change the gravity of objects you touch and create small gravity fields.”
“Curious? Come and try it?”
“Hmph, you’re too confident.
I’ll show you—there’s no need for anyone else to drink Miss Torina’s armpit sweat when I’m here!!!”
“You suddenly said something super lame!?”
“Take this!!!”
So fast! Keloron’s approach speed was faster than any previous opponent! The light sword and the rune short sword clashed, leaving a scorch mark on the short sword, while the light sword—did not become lighter or heavier!
“My sword blade is a family special, a complete energy body! It’s meaningless to increase or decrease its weight, and you can’t deflect energy with gravity, can you?”
“So what?”
Milora immediately expanded the gravity field, and Keloron’s body sank for a moment, but only for a moment.
He quickly stabilized himself with some mysterious power.
He stood firmly on the ground, unaffected by gravity.
“…How did you do that?”
“Just controlling my body with telekinesis, even in space, I can walk as if on solid ground.”
Milora didn’t understand what he was saying, but she was sure that the skill she used earlier was just countered by this man, and he was also very skilled in ‘telekinesis,’ an ancient form of magic…
“Your little tricks don’t work on me, come on, Milora Sistema—”
Keloron twirled his sword and beckoned with his finger, “Let me see how much you’re worth without those tricks?”
With that, he turned into a blurred shadow, and the light sword struck like a red lightning bolt from the shadow! Milora barely dodged and immediately counterattacked with the short sword, but it was blocked.
She immediately swung the giant sword!
“Hmph, too easy to see through.”
Keloron calculated the distance and slightly retreated, just enough to avoid the giant sword’s edge—
However, the giant sword didn’t come down.
Milora just maintained the posture of “raising the giant sword,” and suddenly thrust out the short sword with her other hand! The continuous short sword slashes were faster than Keloron expected.
After a four-hit combo with the short sword, she suddenly swung down the giant sword she had raised halfway, faster than the short sword!
“What the hell—”
Keloron urgently used telekinesis to block the giant sword, but Milora’s short sword was already ready to strike—yet she didn’t strike, she suddenly switched to a three-hit combo with the giant sword!
Keloron almost couldn’t handle it.
Milora’s entire combo was very strange, with unpredictable rhythm, force, and angles!
But the strangest part was yet to come.
Completely, unable to grasp the rhythm of her attacks.
Three short sword strikes, followed by four giant sword strikes, then alternating four strikes with the short and giant swords, short sword switching to giant sword, giant sword switching to short sword, fast short sword, slow short sword, fast giant sword, slow giant sword switching back and forth, delayed strikes, sudden strikes, instant strikes, lock-on tracking strikes, all kinds of variations, with pre- and post-attack delays sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes present, sometimes absent, ever-changing, Keloron felt like he was in a fog, completely suppressed—
“Enough! What kind of damn swordsmanship is this??”
“The kind that can beat you!”
Bang!!!!
The giant sword slammed into Keloron’s face with a comical sound, sending him flying and knocking him out.
“…She really improved so fast.”
In the audience, Torina wiped her sweat.
Just over a week ago, Torina had just taught her the basics of the Deville family swordsmanship.
Now, she could skillfully use the gravity rune and Smoke Knight swordsmanship to level up and wreak havoc.
However, most people’s attention wasn’t focused on her.
Because on the other side of the battlefield, there was an even more dazzling presence, showcasing their cheat first.
“Oh my god, is that the legendary…””Star Rune!?”
“Who is that?”
“Seems to be from the Alphares family!”
“So strong!!!”
