Chapter 630: The Last Battle! Part I

BOOM!!!

The explosion echoed throughout the land as sparkly rays of magic dashed at each other in disorder. The sky crumbled. Even though they were above the clouds, the vibration caused by the hits easily swayed the high tower.

Among the moonlight and stars, at the top of the high tower where it was in open-air space. Two people kept attacking each other like their lives depended on it. One of them was a silver-haired girl, whose hair was put up in a bun with a hairpin. Her opponent was a man, one of whose amber eyes had changed into flaming red, while another was clearly glowing in the dark!

Swoooosh~~!

The lady’s blade slashed at the man, hoping to take his life, yet the man easily dodged it. The sharp gush of wind created by the hit disintegrated the cloud behind him!

BOOM!!!

The boy did not hesitate to flick his sword off the ground to counter, which created a deep rift on the floor. The woman jumped up high and defended herself with her sword!

“Not bad! Your reaction’s been improved!”

She yelled at him before flicking her hand and calling up eight swords behind her. They were like wings!

“Are we fighting in the air again?!”

The man shouted before breaking his flaming wings out of his back and dashed to the woman. He summoned a sword into his hand.

In the blink of an eye, they started attacking each other again. Their speed and movements were quite on the same level. The silver-haired lady was maybe a little more skilled since she seemed to be used to the man’s movements and hit him harder every time. The boy’s hand started to go numb!

At that moment, the silver-haired woman flicked her sword only once and the weapon in the boy’s hand broke into pieces. It could not withstand the power of the lady’s Claymore sword.

“Woah! Even the level eight earth sword can’t hold it?!”

The man complained. He dashed at the lady immediately, hoping to take that chance while she was gaining back her footing after the last hit. His hand was now glowing with strange-looking red and black magic characters!

The lady clucked her tongue in annoyance.

“Too weak!”

She shouted so loudly before dodging the hit so easily.

And at the time, she raised her hand up.

Blade of Emperor

8,698,221

The golden sparkles from the tip of her blade dragged the boy back to the ground so hard. The dust that went up from the ground caused by the explosion was so thick it blinded everyone.

While the woman slowly went down and landed on the ground, every sword on her back and in her hand disintegrated. Her amber eyes behind the mask stared at the thick dust before flicking her hand and wiping it all away.

There were only three figures lying still on the floor.

Wisana’s eyes went back to yellow again. Sarquros curled up and was suffering from pain in her stomach. The last one was Mona Lisa, who was grabbing her chest and her shirttail in pain.

“Let me warn you, Vincent.” The silver-haired girl said with a low voice. “You can’t use the last final blow unless you’re 100% sure that you’ll hit Lucius, understood?!”

“Why, aunty? If we don’t take a risk, we won’t have a chance!”

Wisana tried his hardest to push himself up. The dragon girls were still lying there in pain.

“But if Lucius finds out what you’re going to do, your chance’s gone.”

The man halted.

“Remember, you can’t let him know what you’re about to do because his Signetic will be activated immediately. We’re all doomed if that happens.”

“Lucius’s Signetic?” The boy frowned.

“Yes.” Baron nodded. “His ability is Rate Time and Imaginate. Rate Time will pump up his blood circulation and heart rate until his senses become inhuman and the world will be slowed down. To make it simple, his time will flow faster than usual for a short while and he’ll see the world in slow motion. As for Imaginate, it’s the highest level of calculation. For example, if he knows what that particular object can do, he’ll be able to use it so easily, even though he’s never seen it before. He can also use that on humans. If he knows what one thinks, his brain will calculate the other’s movement and search for a way to fight. No... it was actually the way to win. He can technically read into the future.”

“Read into the future...”

Wisana was shocked.

“Yeah, what a power, don’t you think?” Baron sighed. “That’s why I told you that it’s better to not let Lucius know what you’re doing or you’ll never get near him with your final blow.”

The man’s face clearly showed worry. He nodded, yet he did not know if he could ever do that. The more he knew about Lucius, the more he seemed invincible.

“And another thing.”

Baron got everyone’s attention again before she let out a long sigh.

“Don’t ever forget about the bad points of the ‘Syncro’.” She smiled. “Remember that after the Syncro, every wound and pain will be on all of you. The only way to avoid it is to not get hit.”

Wisana turned the other way and muttered.

“It’s very hard to control. We have to connect our minds all the time. Only a little mistake and the Syncro is over.”

“But it’s worth it.” Baron grinned. “Don’t forget that after the Syncro, everyone’s power will be accumulated and multiplied. For those who are not in a masterclass like you, this is the shortcut to fight Lucius, whose rank is even higher than a masterclass.”

“I know that...”

The boy murmured. The dragon girls smiled slightly.

“Making that face means you don’t know the worth of this skill, right? Let me tell you that Syncro is the most incredible skill that you can never look for anywhere. You’re lucky that I taught you it through the ’Knowledge Transfer’ system of the game, otherwise, you wouldn’t have a chance to unlock it.”

The boy laughed.

“Why am I not happy about this at all?”

The older woman laughed and threw them bottles of water. Wisana got a KitDoc for an extra.

“You’re lucky that these girls learned the Syncro from a master like you, too, Vincent, or you three can never morph like this.”

“Wait, really?”

Wisana said while biting into his KitDoc. He regretted it a little because he wanted to use it with Maysa. They would make such an invincible warrior with his inhuman strength and Maysa’s genius brain.

But yeah...

That was ruined now!

He sighed.

“From now on, when you’re using the Syncro, not only you have to be very agile, but you also have to try using difficult skills. Your limit for a Syncro now is three minutes, which is still too little. I want you to be able to hold on for at least ten minutes. That should do it. What you have to do is to not go beyond the time limit or your body and brain will have to carry a lot of burden and that’s dangerous. So, don’t violate it, understood?”

“Yes.”

Everyone nodded. Baron turned to look at Mona Lisa.

“And you, little Mo, your fight should be on Vincent’s information screen at all times, got it?”

“Eh? Why do I have to be on there all the time, grandma?” The little girl raised her eyebrow because she also wanted to fight alongside her parents.

“It’s more convenient,” Baron said. “The good thing about the Syncro with you and Vincent is that you can be anywhere near him when you use it. Being inside the screen, Vincent can use the Syncro at any time and it’s safer for you that way.”

Hearing that, the girl sulked. Her mother had to pat her head lightly.

“Listen to Lord Baron, my child. She’s right about your safety because your power hasn’t been fully awakened yet. The only way for you to join the war is to be your father’s power because you’ll never know when I have to be separated from you.”
