At the same time (?), in the big cave, inside the Abyss Arena.
Albert walked into the arena.
"Oh, here it comes again." Hercules looked at the tiger man youth with a little contempt: "You haven't learned enough yet. How many times did you die yesterday? Fifty? One hundred? Sorry, I was halfway through the count.
I just gave up counting. Don’t you feel any pain?"
"I took strong painkillers and I don't feel any pain now." Albert replied calmly.
In fact, there is still a bit of dull pain. It’s just that most of the pain has been suppressed by the medicine, so he doesn’t feel pain for the time being. And Albert knows that those are just phantom pains, and the real injury has been cured long ago. Even though he knows that it is phantom pains, he doesn’t feel any pain.
It would really hurt him, so there was no need for him to care.
But similarly, the more powerful the analgesic, the more it will anesthetize Albert's nerves and make his movements slower. This also means that he will always be slow in battle and be at a disadvantage.
Albert, who was originally in perfect condition, couldn't beat Hercules. Now, affected by drugs and injuries, Albert, who was in poor condition, couldn't beat Hercules even more.
"Are you looking down on me?" Iron Wolf snorted: "Or, this is also a clone that is here to die. It doesn't matter if it is defeated?"
"This meow, we can only tell the difference after we fight it." The tiger man young man replied, taking out his weapon.
"Forget it." Hercules also took out his weapon, "My duty is to defeat you here. No matter how many times you challenge me, all I have to do is defeat you again and again."
Albert smiled, said nothing, and rushed forward.
The power of Hercules is still a mystery. That's because every time Albert is defeated by Hercules, his memory will be cleansed by the abyss. When his "body" is sent out of the arena, he also
Forget about that battle and know nothing about the All-Seeing Hercules. Doing this can avoid Albert having to take many challenges to become familiar with Hercules’ fighting methods and find a way to defeat him. From a certain
In this sense, this rule is at least fair.
However, "having no memory" does not mean that he cannot be familiar with Hercules' attack routines. Albert tried it by dying dozens or hundreds of times, and believed that doing so would allow his body to get used to his opponent's attacks.
He struck out with his sword, and Hercules simply stepped back to avoid it.
The ancient warrior also struck back at the same time, and the large scimitar in his hand was slashed towards Albert's head. The speed was as fast as a glare. With the reaction speed of the tiger man young man, he even used [Hollow] to avoid this blow.
Not even there!
However, before being attacked, Albert always felt that things would turn out like this, so he activated [Virtualization] a moment earlier. The mere tenth of a second in advance allowed him to successfully dodge the attack.
.
In fact, the blade still scratched the tiger man's nose, cutting the pink inverted triangle-shaped cat's nose. But Albert didn't care.
"...As expected, he avoided it." Hercules was not surprised, "It was the same before, you avoided a lot of my attacks. Could it be that... through constant death, you can use your body to become familiar with my attack routine? How?
possible……"
However, the impossible did happen before his eyes. Once again, Albert dodged Hercules' kick with a feint. That kick could clearly break Albert's mandible. That tiger
It's as if he can predict the future.
Sure enough, he is familiar with the attack routine. Is it true that repeated "death" can make the body get used to it, even if the memory of the battle is washed away by the abyss?
Or maybe...Abyss did some tricks on this matter and didn't really erase the memory of the battle?
...or whatever.
Albert can "predict the future", and Hercules can do similar things.
It's not a big deal.
Even now, the trajectory of Albert's attack can be seen clearly by the all-seeing one, who can see it before the attack is launched. Because Hercules has long known the most advanced combat technique [Mind Sight Technique].
No matter how the opponent attacks him, it will be in vain. All attacks will be predicted by [Mind's Eye Technique]. As long as they come with hostility and want to kill Hercules, they will turn into a kind of photon before attacking.
Information entropy was sensed by Hercules.
Albert wielded the Luna Steel Scimitar and struck continuously, and after Hercules dodged the attack, he raised his Storm Spear blade to bombard him with shotguns. However, the ancient warriors easily dodged them.
His strong body is unexpectedly agile. His metal body called [Combat Outfit] is driven by photons, and every movement is driven by telekinesis. Every movement of his body is extremely soft, and he can move towards incredible things.
The direction is distorted. He moves as flexibly and lightly as a ballet dancer or an acrobat. He can activate telekinesis by just tapping the ground with one of his toes, causing his whole body to move backwards at high speed, avoiding attacks that he would never be able to dodge.
——That is not an action that a human being, or even any living creature, can make!
"Ha!" The Iron Wolf leaned back to avoid the bombardment of the bullets, then flipped back and suddenly swung a knife.
The impact of the scimitar in his hand instantly turned into a sharp and deadly crescent-shaped shock wave, which was exactly the same as the "moonlight wave" Bedivere had used before.
However, Albert seemed to be aware of the existence of this attack, and his body started to move automatically, raising his shield to block while avoiding to the left.
The extremely sharp [Moonlight Wave] hit the Luna Steel Shield with a dull sound. During the excitement, Albert felt that his arm became more sore and numb! Because the impact was too huge, his arm was numb and his muscles were numb.
He screamed, but his arm bones were not broken. The Luna Steel Shield had a strong ability to resolve impacts, and it was it that saved Albert.
It's just like... fighting a fully enhanced version of Bediwell.
Wouldn't it be terrifying if the moonlight waves could be fired continuously?
"That move just now... did you steal it from him?" the tiger man asked in a low voice. Before his arm recovered, he hoped to delay it for a few seconds as much as possible with dialogue.
"No, just the opposite." Hercules said: "This is the proud skill of a certain famous warrior thousands of years ago. Once a year, when I synchronize the memories with the little wolf child, I will occasionally have a part of the memory.
From me it flows back into his mind. Then he will unconsciously learn some of the moves I have learned. For example, this [Moonlight Wave]."
Even the names are the same...
"He thought it was his own move. It's really cute." Hercules sneered: "But he is also a genius. With only a vague memory like fragments in a dream, he can restore the move to its original state.
Practical. He is one of the few geniuses among the [intelligence collection terminals] I have observed over the years."
"Aren't you worried that he will steal all your special skills?"
"Worried? Why?" Hercules sneered: "Do you know how many people's lives my memory is combined? How many great warriors in history are included in it? The unique skills I have, he spent thousands of years mastering.
There’s so much to learn. What’s the point of just learning [Moonlight Wave] secretly?”
So confident, so arrogant. That is the luxury that only those with great power can have.
However, Hercules' power is real. This guy not only peeked into the lives of countless people, but also completely absorbed what those people learned throughout their lives, integrated it, and turned it into his own power.
From just now, no, from the first time he challenged Hercules, Albert felt this sense of disobedience.
He was not fighting one person. He felt that he was fighting an entire army, fighting a fighting group, fighting a team of elite warriors composed of countless heroes from the past.
That's why Hercules is so...indefeatable.
There is no chance this time, Albert thought. However, there is no way to defeat Hercules this time, but at least he will be surprised. Albert came with this idea, and he did not intend to be simple.
He has to give up. He is such a stubborn person.
The arm has almost completely recovered. The painkillers made the arm that should have been sore and numb for a long time recover faster, which may be the reason why the nerves have become more numb. While the other party was still talking and relaxed, Albert suddenly
He activated [Shenyin] and rushed forward.
Not only did his whole body become transparent, his existence disappeared directly into nothingness. No one in the world could detect his existence. Logically speaking, even if he rushed towards Hercules and launched an attack, the other party would not be able to detect this.
Just hit it.
However, the all-seeing one still dodged sideways and avoided the attack of the Luna Steel Scimitar. [Mind Eye Technique] had already attacked Albert and predicted the trajectory of the attack, so Hercules could see
See!
"No matter what you do, it's all in vain." The ancient warrior snorted coldly.
Bang.
Then his right shoulder suddenly cracked. At this time, Albert's [divine concealment] was lifted and he reappeared in front of Hercules.
"...What have you done?" The All-Seeing One looked at his opponent in disbelief. Although the small wound on his right shoulder was insignificant, it surprised Hercules very much.
However, before Albert could respond, Hercules had already seen through everything.
That's a two-hit combo.
The first strike is an attack performed before [Shen Yin] is activated. The second strike is an attack performed after [Shen Yin] is activated.
The crack on Hercules' right shoulder was caused by the second blow. Because during the activation of [divine concealment], Albert will not be sensed by anyone in the world, and the trajectory of his blow will not be noticed.
Naturally, it will not be detected by [Mind's Eye Technique]. An undetectable blow will become a real "invisible attack", posing a threat to Hercules!
The ancient warrior began to look at Albert with serious eyes.
"That's right. This is the first time you've hurt me." He said. The wound on his shoulder was healing quickly, and the memory metal quickly filled the gap, as if he had never been hurt.
"As a reward, I will tell you a good thing." Hercules continued: "My [combat outer clothing] is specially made and has strong self-healing capabilities throughout the body. However, it also has two weaknesses: the heart.
And the head. I deliberately gave this body these two weaknesses. If you really want to defeat me, either pierce my heart or cut off my head. There should be no other way.
Alright."
The tiger man frowned: "Why did Meow tell me this? Why did Meow deliberately leave such a weakness in his body?"
"The creatures of your time are pathetic and weak. Just being attacked in this area will kill you. Your time does not even have the medical equipment to repair these injuries, and the creatures of your time cannot tolerate the damage to the heart and brain."
Destroying damage."
Hercules chuckled.
"In order to fight you fairly, I have to change my [combat armor] to be as weak and full of weaknesses as you. Only in this way is it fair."
Being completely underestimated. Albert's eyes widened with anger.
"So, I'm tired of playing with swords and swords." Hercules threw away the scimitar in his hand, and two blue flames suddenly appeared in his hands: "I'll change my method and kill you hundreds of times."
Hundreds of magic fireballs began to hit from all directions, heavily surrounding Albert.
In addition to being a great warrior, Hercules was also a great magician. In other words, the great people he had observed since ancient times also included great magicians.
