Can you withstand the power of this sword strike, which has been used twice in the game?

"But didn't you just lose?" Airo reminded him with a wry smile.

Hilo crossed his arms and scoffed, "Lost?! I didn't lose! At least he didn't beat me!"

Layton chuckled. "But if I hadn't saved you, you would have almost died, wouldn't you?"

“Bullshit! Isn’t the plan just to stall for time? I knew you were rushing over, that’s why I fought to the bitter end!” Hilo retorted, unconvinced.

Yes, the original plan was to rely on the [Necromancer's Blade] to reduce the Sword Demon's stamina and magic power as much as possible, and then kill it steadily.

Given An Yi's damage output, he could have indeed pressed his advantage and killed it after losing an arm.

The strategy of "wearing down" is to prevent the opponent from having any trump cards yet to be played.

That's a coincidence, isn't it? It's been typed out now!

This also proves that the previous strategy was correct.

The current situation has indeed severely weakened the opponent before forcing them to reveal their true strength.

That is why An Yi may still win even if his attributes are slightly lower than his opponent's.

As for whether Shiloh did it on purpose...

“I suppose so,” Layton shrugged.

"What do you mean 'just consider it'? That's right! Everyone thinks that way, right?!"

As Hilo spoke, he glanced at the others.

No one looked at her; in fact, they deliberately avoided eye contact.

"Answer me!!" Hilo screamed in frustration.

"Stop talking, they've started," came Sephie's voice.

"what?"

Hilo looked over and, sure enough, the Sword Demon and An Yi had already begun their first battle!

From everyone's perspective, this duel was destined to be a one-sided affair.

Both sides were using swords, but the sword demon on one side was three meters tall, wielded a greatsword, and had an astonishingly long arm span.

An Yi's height of 1.79 meters looked like a child to the other party, and her physique was not even in the same league.

Although the Sword Demon has lost some of his stamina and magic, it is still difficult to determine who will win or lose.

When sword blades of different sizes intersect, it's like chopsticks hitting a toothpick.

Furthermore, while the Sword Demon appears large and somewhat clumsy, it actually boasts an agility of 30, making its attacks...

Like a violent storm!

Xislinn stood to the side, her heart aching for An Yi.

Given the opponent's speed and strength, it seems An Yi will have a hard time inflicting damage on the Sword Demon...

……

"Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!!"

The clash of blades produced a metallic clang like firecrackers, and An Yi appeared utterly powerless against the massive blade and its incredible speed.

As Ferdinand swung his sword, he grinned maliciously and shouted, "Is this all you've got?!"

Should we switch to our right hand?!

"It's already unfair enough that I'm using my left hand. Are you trying to make me finish you off faster by switching to my right hand?" An Yi said calmly.

"Outrageous words!" Ferdinand sneered.

He didn't know why a human's physique could unleash such power, but no matter what, it couldn't compare to his strength as a demon lord.

Moreover, he will become stronger in his own territory, and will be protected even in the domain.

It's only a matter of time before this human is killed!

but……

After a two-minute exchange, he began to show signs of difficulty.

……

"Will Mr. An Yi be alright...?" Hissline asked worriedly, standing in front of the barrier.

From An Yi's own perspective, he was constantly retreating, but to outsiders, he appeared to be circling the barrier, retreating countless times.

To the naked eye, it appears that they are barely resisting the enemy's attack, with no power to fight back.

Lycorina wanted to say something, but...

"I can't see their movements at all..." she said with a wry smile.

Layton said, "But isn't Annie the one who keeps retreating? And his stamina is quite high. If this continues, something bad will happen, won't it?"

Upon hearing this, Milu shook her head frantically beside her.

Hilo crossed his arms and said solemnly, "No, the other side expended more energy."

On the contrary, An Yi Karl was not only defending, but also using his opponent's force to retreat.

And... he wasn't hurt at all.

All of the Sword Demon's attacks are ineffective.

Simply put, it's all talk and no action, but utterly useless.

Milu nodded vigorously.

The only two people in the entire stadium who could clearly see Any and Ferdinand's movements were Shiloh and Milco.

In addition, they each have their own understanding of combat, so it's easy to see that An Yi is not at a disadvantage.

Hilo frowned, wondering if he could so easily deflect every sword strike under such attacks.

Her resilience is extremely low; even a slight, severe injury can easily reduce her health to zero.

Can she manage to prevent the sword demon from even touching her?

Although Shiro was not entirely convinced, he had to admit that An Yi was indeed stronger than himself in swordsmanship and combat.

……

Within the area, Ferdinand frowned; his attacks were becoming increasingly difficult.

An Yi rhythmically parried and deflected the force, and the sound of metal clashing came one after another, seemingly retreating step by step under the opponent's continuous attacks.

In reality, they were figuring out the opponent's attack rhythm to find an opportunity to strike.

His attributes are indeed slightly inferior to his opponent's, but it's not a crushing difference; there's still a lot of room for maneuver.

On the other side, Ferdinand seemed to be in control of the battle, but now he was beginning to realize how troublesome Any was.

Because none of my attacks landed on him!

They blocked them all!

The opponent's technique of deflecting force was very skillful. It seemed like I was putting a lot of pressure on the opponent, but in reality, the opponent didn't expend much energy at all!

The onslaught of fierce attacks was somewhat scrambling.

The defense, which was steadily losing ground, was poised for victory.

Ferdinand gritted his teeth.

We must... break through his defense!!

"drink!"

Suddenly, the veins in Ferdinand's left hand, where he was holding the sword, bulged and doubled in size!

The greatsword pressed down, the attack about to land on An'i—

"Bang!!"

A sudden gust of wind erupted beneath An Yi's feet, sending her flying several meters backward: "She really did have a trick up her sleeve."

Ferdinand's heavy blow hit the air, and his arm immediately returned to normal. At the same time, his heart pounded wildly as he stared in horror at Any, his large body dripping with sweat.

...It’s over!

Chapter 179 This is how to use a sword.

Based on the opponent's defensive rhythm, he would definitely block and deflect the force, so that attack was used halfway through...

He must strike by surprise!

That attack was caused by him using a lot of physical strength and magic power, which could instantly unleash twice the power.

Skill is useless in the face of absolute power!

If hit, An Yi will surely be killed by a single sword strike with twice the power!

however……

He suddenly ran away!

Instead of parrying his own attack, he stepped out of the attack range!

Ferdinand knew that Any would definitely be prepared, but he didn't expect this human to react so quickly!

Incredibly fast.

why? !

This human's strength and speed are clearly inferior to mine, so why was he able to neutralize all of my attacks?!

As if anticipating its own attack, it immediately devised the optimal solution!

Suddenly, Ferdinand's heart tightened.

"...Impossible, right?"

In his mind, images of this human fighting the sword demon a thousand times appeared.

This human was intimately familiar with the Sword Demon's fighting style and understood all of the Sword Demon's sword techniques.

It's likely that all of my attack methods have already been figured out in this human's mind!
