The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

#448 - Fast and slow knife

The boy—Verethragna—stood proudly above the sky, the corners of his lips slightly raised, gazing down at the Respects on the ground with a confident expression.

Although he possessed ten incarnations, his current form was the most normal.

Not only was he a human, but also a 15-year-old boy.

When guiding the order of this chaotic world, by the order of the Lord, to punish the gods who did not obey, he liked to use the appearance of a boy.

A radiant 15-year-old boy.

In the teachings he guarded, this represented a symbol of heroes, a symbol of victory.

"Is that your way of telling me to strike first...?"

Respects licked his chapped lips.

The current Verethragna was in an invincible form with ten incarnations gathered, which was of course the case as a god, but this arrogance was irritating.

“Light of Saber!”

Swift lightning struck towards the god in the sky at a tricky angle.

This was Respects's specialty, and both its power and speed could be called top-notch.

Even if it couldn't compare to Explosion magic, it was most suitable as an opening show.

However—

The god high in the sky had a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

He didn't even intend to dodge, letting the lightning hit him squarely.

Accompanied by a roar, thick smoke rose, but the strong wind quickly dispersed it, revealing the unscathed boy.

He patted his tattered clothes, then looked at Respects with a contemptuous look, as if to say, 'What did you just do?'

“There's no need for probing.

You should have more than just this level of power, right?

Don't disappoint me!”

As he spoke, lightning ten times more violent than before crashed down.

Respects stepped back more than ten meters on the sandy ground.

Although he wasn't blasted into charcoal, the raised sand covered the sky and the earth, and he couldn't avoid getting covered in dust.

So that's how it is.

Ordinary magic has no effect on him?

It should be said that the gods who do not obey have immunity to these magics because of their high rank.

But it's not like there's no way.

At least Respects felt that Explosion magic could hurt him.

The key was that Explosion magic was a killing move, and once used, he would be completely exhausted—he didn't have the spare power to deal with the gods who didn't obey, let alone that he didn't know the authentic Explosion magic.

No matter what—

“I have to show my strength, I can't be looked down upon.”

“Hmm?

After magic, it's swordsmanship?”

Seeing Respects take out a long sword containing a large amount of magic power, Verethragna showed an interested expression.

“To truly win against you, I must preserve my magic power.”

“Is that so?

Because you are reserving powerful magic that will determine the outcome, you want to hurt me as much as possible before that… Very well, I'll play with you!”

Hahaha—

As expected of the God of War.

His sense of the battlefield was too keen.

He knew that Respects was not bad at using magic, nor did he use swordsmanship with a chaotic mind because he found that magic was useless, but he was laying the groundwork for using a powerful magic that would seal the deal at the most critical moment.

But this person clearly saw through all of this, but was still willing to follow Respects's pace.

I don't know if he was confident and arrogant, or if he really wanted to defeat Respects in all aspects so that he would be convinced, or if everything was to seek defeat?

Verethragna descended from the sky and casually pulled out a branch on the beach.

After gesturing with it, he found that it seemed a bit long, so he broke off a part.

“Hmm, this length is just right, this is enough.”

He grinned as he waved the branch.

In contrast, what Respects was using was the most powerful magic sword treasured by Ruculia, and with the enchantment effect used by Respects to strengthen it a second time, its power was even greater.

Of course, it couldn't compare to a magic sword, nor could it compare to a divine artifact.

But Respects didn't dare to be careless.

Because the ten-centimeter slash of the boy in front of him stirred up sword energy like a whirlwind, even though he was using such a small and light branch.

This was the so-called divine skill.

Respects, who had a deep understanding of swordsmanship, knew very well that after martial arts reached the pinnacle, the size and weight of the weapon held were not important.

If you want to perfectly use a heavy and huge weapon, then you have to learn how to use it very lightly; if you want to perfectly use a light and small weapon, then you have to learn how to use it to deliver a heavy attack.

There are thousands of techniques, but they all lead to the same goal.

“Oh, Lord!

Oh, Lord!

The miracle of God is great, praise the Lord, praise the name of glory.

I pray to God, Lord, please save us lost sheep.

Lord, please save the land destroyed by those without faith, at the end of the distant journey, we will reach the promised land!”

Under Respects's loud declaration, the long sword in his hand changed shape.

Originally, it was just an ordinary knight's sword, but now it had become more gorgeous, with inexplicable patterns engraved on it, wrapped and bound by golden threads, so that the radiance it emitted was restrained within.

Then, some darkness floated on the surface, and then the darkness became more and more, turning into the appearance of a black dragon, devouring all the light.

“This is…”

Verethragna was a little surprised when he saw this, but soon laughed loudly.

“Hahaha, you are really interesting!

You actually used a blessing praising God to activate the divine sword, but then used the lewdness of the dragon to degrade it, causing it to undergo an earth-shattering reversal.

This is not a divine sword, it is a thorough magic sword!”

Just as the god's status would decline due to the many mixed myths, what Respects was doing was reversing the attributes of the extremely high-grade divine sword.

Ruculia was extremely distressed when she found out, but she had no choice but to do so in order to punish and expel the gods.

“What's wrong, do you think it's unfair now?”

“How could it be!

You know that I am the God of Light and War, is there anything better than weakening me with this method of suppressing my godhood!”

Just as Respects thought.

The more desperate Verethragna was, the more excited he would become, and what he had to do was to turn this desperation into a foregone conclusion.

“Okay, it seems you are ready too.

Then, let's start the war!”

The boy god announced with a cheerful smile.

Respects slightly lowered his body, stretching backwards like a taut spring, until a certain critical point, he exerted force under his feet, rushing towards Verethragna like an arrow released from a bow.

Thanks to being born in another world, Respects was no stranger to the knight's sword, and he also knew that the advantage of the knight's sword lies in its fierce sword momentum and stable control.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the boy god, and using the force from his shoulder to his elbow, plus the strength of his wrist, he slashed the magic sword in his hand horizontally towards the opponent.

From the shoulder to the tip of the sword, it was like a whip.

If the opponent was an ordinary person, even a first-class swordsman would find it difficult to see through it the first time, and it was extremely powerful, coupled with the impact generated by the overwhelming force, even the headless knight of the Demon King's army couldn't bear it.

This was also what Respects had stolen from a certain shark-toothed serpent-tailed swordmaster.

Even with such a strike, Verethragna only blocked it with a thin branch.

Not only that, the light and fluttering movements when counterattacking—the branch only hit Respects's magic sword, causing his wrist to tremble.

Whether it was the Flowing Water Air Control Circle or the Seamless Heavenly Clothes, they were indeed the ultimate in skill.

But what skills fear most is brute force.

Even if it was using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds, the boy god's strike just now was already more than a thousand pounds.

Respects frowned slightly, while his feet pulled away backwards.

After pulling away by one body length, he appeared beside the boy god as if he had teleported.

Visual guidance, or rather, footwork.

Verethragna's eyes lit up slightly, as if he admired this skill very much.

After all, this was not magic, but a pure skill, which naturally made the Sword God interested.

So, driving such a trick, Respects kept performing fast and slow cuts.

As everyone knows.

Apart from games, fast and slow cuts in reality are even more unexpected.

Verethragna could only keep dodging these attacks by retreating left, right, or backwards.

But he didn't just dodge blindly, sometimes he would also use the small branch to launch accurate counterattacks, weakening Respects's rushing momentum.

The boy god's light dodging and thrusting were like a butterfly flying, and like a bee thrusting.

“Not bad skills.

If you continue to improve, you will definitely become a famous warrior, no, if you were born in a suitable era, you might become a God of War.

But—

Verethragna seemed to have plenty of energy, and could even say words of praise to his opponent, but after praising, his expression suddenly changed.

“I'm tired of these tricks.”

As if he didn't want to cooperate anymore, the boy god's figure suddenly disappeared.

Respects was slightly stunned.

The alarm bells rang loudly in his heart, and as if by divine inspiration, his hand was faster than his brain, and his magic sword subconsciously blocked towards his side.

With a ding sound.

The small branch was blocked outside the magic sword, only three inches away from his throat.

10 seconds.

In just 10 seconds, Verethragna learned visual guidance.

This trick is very difficult for people with more magic power, poorer magic power control, and a stronger sense of existence.

It can be seen from the fact that Stella took a week to barely learn it.

However, the boy god in front of him saw through everything in just 10 seconds and successfully replicated it.

Really…

Great!

The biggest disadvantage of visual guidance is that there will be a very strong sense of existence at the moment of appearance.

This is to cover up the unnaturalness before disappearing and highlight the existence.

And this will lead to another problem, he must stop to strengthen the impression, and what Respects was aiming for was this moment!

“Light of Saber!”

The lightning did not pounce on Verethragna.

Respects knew very well that ordinary magic had no effect on him, but it was hard to say about other things.

“What…”

The boy god staggered forward unsteadily.

That's right, what Respects was aiming for from the beginning was the sand, his purpose was to prevent the opponent from adjusting his posture and dodging or blocking when he attacked!

Now is the time—

Respects suddenly struck, the raised black knight's long sword, swung down with a fierce momentum that would surely cut him in two, the boy god was split in half!

…Not really.

At the moment when he was about to be split in two, Verethragna made an unexpected move.

He used the branch to hit his own legs, forcibly adjusting his posture by harming himself first.

Although he avoided the consequence of being cut in half, his left hand, left arm, and even his left shoulder were cut off by Respects.
