Albert successfully injured the nearly invincible Hercules. Although the blow only created a small, shallow gash in the Iron Wolf's metal body.
But the point is, Hercules failed to use [Mind's Eye Technique] to sense this blow! If he could sense it, this blow would never have been successful.
Then he looked at Albert in surprise: "Have you even learned [Wuxin]?"
Albert didn't answer, just sneered. However, this is the reality. The advanced combat skill [Wuxin], which can hide one's attack intentions and not be detected by the opponent's [Mind Eye Technique], also came from the human swordmaster Albert.
Learned it. In just four hours, Albert not only learned the [Mind Eye Skill], he even learned the [Wuxin] skill!
"It's just one day... you monster...!" Even the champion of the ancient warriors felt how terrifying Albert was.
"You said you would answer me a question." Albert covered the gap in his broken left arm. The bleeding was fierce, and his meaning began to become blurry quickly. He felt that this challenge should be the limit at this point.
"Then answer me." He asked: "How can I learn your so-called [Wolf Step]?"
"It's useless for you to know. You can't learn it. This is not within the scope of your talent." Hercules replied.
"...Just answer." Albert didn't care so much and pressed the question directly.
"Well, I can tell you." The champion of the ancient warriors sneered: "But, not now. You haven't let me enjoy it to the fullest and forced me to fight you with all my strength. When you really achieve that point,
I'll tell you the answer again."
Albert frowned, and regardless of his injuries, he raised his sword and charged forward.
With only one arm left, his consciousness gradually began to blur. However, he concentrated more on attacking and dodging. Hercules threw several fireballs with his backhand, but they were all dodged by Albert's continuous left and right steps. The tiger man rushed to the steel
The wolf slashed out with a sword in front of him, and his attack speed was almost as fast as Hercules. Moreover, he activated [Heartless] throughout the whole process. This kind of attack would not be predicted by Hercules' [Mind's Eye Technique]!
Boom! Iron Wolf relied on his superhuman reflexes to forcefully raise the scimitar to block. The scimitar and scimitar collided with each other, making a crisp explosion and sparks flying everywhere.
Albert made five more cuts in a row.
Boom, boom, boom, boom! All the attacks were blocked by Hercules with his amazing adaptability. The opponent took advantage of the situation and hit Albert's face with a fireball, which was also an unexpected blow. Hercules must be able to do the same.
Use [Wuxin], it’s just that I haven’t used it before!
In this way, everyone's fighting conditions are the same, and no one can predict whose attack is better. But Albert has accumulated something like muscle memory or conditioned reflex by fighting Hercules many times.
The effect, so Hercules just moved his strike, and Albert knew to lean down and dodge!
Pound! The attack missed, but the moment Albert leaned over to avoid the blow, Hercules crushed the fireball in his hand, and a burst of flames burst out. The flames flowed from Hercules' body.
However, it had no effect on the Iron Wolf; this high-temperature torrent of flames burned Albert's mortal body, easily burning the fur on the back of the tiger man to ashes.
"Hmm...!" Albert endured the pain and cut out the knife, moving from bottom to top towards Hercules' abdomen.
Ouch! Although the opponent didn't see Albert's blow, he guessed it from the movement of Albert's body, so Hercules had already used [Wolf Step] to slide out far away, and Albert's blow fell
null!
As soon as Heracles floated out, countless tracking fireballs were left along the way. Those slow but surprisingly lethal fireballs were like ghosts, constantly approaching Albert, but they were extremely difficult to dodge because of their tracking ability.
No, it’s no problem to dodge, just chop them off. Albert rushed over and slashed one by one, intending to chop up the tracking fireballs. But he didn’t expect that the fireballs exploded the moment they were touched by the blade, and the torrent of flames spread out.
An explosion occurred in front of Albert! Dozens of fireballs detonated each other one after another, creating a series of fire storms!
The fire swallowed up Albert in an instant. It was originally like this, but Albert actually teleported to Hercules in an instant, and the Luna Steel scimitar in his hand came out horizontally!
Using [Phantom Red Shift] you can instantly break free from the flames, restraints and other difficulties. Although it is much slower to activate than Hercules' [Wolf Step], it is perfect for dealing with slow things like tracking fireballs!
But Albert has been seriously injured, and the pain on his body is spreading rapidly. How many times can [Phantom Red Shift], a highly mentally draining move, be used?
His attack was blocked by Hercules before it hit. The surprise attack under the cover of the flames had no effect. All because Hercules' reaction speed was so fast, he didn't even rely on [Mind's Eye Technique]
With good prediction, you can react instantly!
That guy is also very strong in terms of strength and can fight very well without relying on skills. In contrast, Albert relies entirely on skills to narrow the gap in combat power with Hercules. He has already
I can’t bring out any more trump cards!
(That’s it for now, meow...)
Albert's consciousness became increasingly blurred.
(But, no!)
(You have already paid such a huge price, and if you just give up like this, nothing will change...!)
Bang!
Gradually, he could no longer hold the scimitar firmly, and the Luna Steel Scimitar in his hand was knocked away by Hercules' blow.
"It's over!" Hercules slashed, and Albert's right arm was cut off!
Albert, whose hands were broken, had almost no ability to continue fighting. His battle should have ended here.
The ancient warrior also slashed with his sword, preparing to cut a large wound on Albert's chest that could not be easily restored to end the battle.
But Albert suddenly leaned back and just managed to dodge the blow. He didn't dodge completely, but a wound still appeared. However, his dodge made the originally fatal wound less fatal.
But what's the use? This only delays the defeat. The result of Albert's defeat in this battle will not change. This useless struggle did not even allow Hercules to fight with all his strength.
Just a waste of time.
Thinking like this, Hercules couldn't help but reveal a contemptuous smile.
However, when he planned to continue the attack and clean up this "mess"——
Albert flew up. He spread his wings and soared into the air. The tiger stripes all over his body glowed with blue light - a special radiation called [Lesford Radiation].
The young tiger man floating there, with his body radiating light, looked like some kind of god from a distance.
"Idiot." Hercules said: "So what if you fly into the air? Do you want to become a target for spells?"
However, Albert did not answer. His eyes radiated light, but his eyes were looking into the distance aimlessly. At this time, Albert had lost consciousness. He had obviously lost consciousness, but there seemed to be something there.
It's dragging his body to move, allowing him to continue fighting. This is very strange.
"You guy!" The champion of the ancient warriors stared at the floating winged tiger man, feeling a sense of disobedience.
That feeling was like seeing a...monster that he had never known before. Seeing this kind of supernatural monster, even Hercules, who had experienced many battles and had experienced a lot, felt a chill for the first time in a long time.
I don’t know how much time passed before Albert’s “body” was sent out of the Abyss Arena.
"I also lost this time, nya." Albert's original self looked at the clone that was sent out and hummed. Of course, the clone that was sent into the arena before was just his clone. His original self was present with Mutt.
Waiting outside.
The "death state" of the defeated clone sent out was quite tragic - his arms were cut off, there were countless burn marks on his body, and the final decisive blow was that his head was cut off.
The newly learned advanced combat skills [Mind Eye Technique] and [Wuxin] cannot change the fact that Albert has always lost. Hercules is indeed powerful beyond specifications.
Even these combat skills can't change anything, and Albert has lost a little confidence. What should he do next to continue to strengthen himself in order to catch up with Hercules?
No matter how you think about it, it seems useless. No matter what you do, it seems like you will definitely lose.
I'm already at my wits end.
"What? You guy, you actually have a hidden hand." Just when Albert was feeling frustrated, Hercules actually walked out of the arena, and he was still covered in blood - Albert's
Blood.
"I...hidden something?" Albert was surprised, "What do you mean?"
"Oh? Don't you even know it yourself? Did you use it accidentally?" Hercules sneered: "Then I have no obligation to tell you. You can worry about it yourself, hahaha."
(What on earth is this guy doing here...)
"A promise is a promise, even if you can't make me use my full strength, I can still be satisfied. Let me tell you." The ancient warrior said: "——[Wolf Step]."
"……What?"
"[Wolf Step]. That movement technique is called Wolf Step." The ancient warrior said: "I can only say this much. I don't think you can learn it. Even if you learn it, it will not change the battle at all. But
I still have to finish what I promised you."
"Wolf step... meow..." Albert repeated in a low voice. It was a technique that he had never heard of before. Maybe he could summon the human sword master Albert again and get some information from the sword master.
.
"Then, I look forward to the next fight with you." Hercules walked into the arena again, and his figure quickly disappeared into the haze.
"Then, let's go back too." Mutt said half-jokingly: "Take your [body] back for burial."
"Ha, that's interesting." Albert gently knocked the cat boy on the head, and together with Gusta, he carried his dying clone away.
([Wolf Step] Meow...)
(Will that be the key to breaking the situation and turning defeat into victory?)
(Or perhaps, the mysterious ability that Hercules just mentioned but stopped talking about is the key to truly reversing everything?)
