“Screech!”
The sharp friction sound was incessant.
The sharp dagger and the heavy colossal hammer continued to rub against each other, creating sparks that erupted continuously in the air.
In this situation, Fang Li and Ardi entered a direct struggle.
In mid-air, Rimsy, witnessing this scene, had data-like gleams in her eyes. She aimed her Lux gun downwards at Fang Li and was about to pull the trigger.
However, before she could do so, a lightning bolt suddenly shot up from below, heading straight for Rimsy. She stiffened, and immediately controlled her flight device on her back, evading the incoming lightning attack.
“Your opponent is me so you shouldn’t be looking anywhere else!” Cecily shouted from the ground as she held a Magic Seal in her hand, causing the talismans floating around her body to emit flashes of light, transforming into lightning bolts that shot toward Rimsy.
Seeing numerous lightning bolts approaching her, Rimsy quickly raised her empty hand.
“Hum!”
With the trembling of the air, Mana gathered on Rimsy’s suddenly raised hand, gradually forming into a cannon.
A significant amount of Mana converged at the cannon’s muzzle, condensing into red energy.
Although Ardi and Rimsy were both puppets, their Master, Ernesta, wasn’t solely focused on puppet development techniques and Camilla also researched Lux.
Hence, whether it was Ardi or Rimsy, they both possessed exceptionally powerful Lux.
Ardi’s armament was specialized in defense, resulting in the impenetrable Absolute Shield.
Rimsy’s armament was specialized in offense, resulting in this cannon, an unparalleled Absolute Spear.
Its name was…
“Ruinshalef, fire.”
The next moment, the energy gathered at the cannon’s muzzle transformed into a red beam of light, violently shooting out. It sliced through the atmosphere, creating turbulence as it rushed toward the countless lightning bolts that had suddenly appeared.
“BOOM!”
The beam collided with the lightning bolts. In an ear-splitting explosion, it produced a tremendously powerful blast, sending shockwaves spreading in all directions. The blast ultimately hit the defensive barriers surrounding the stage and was blocked.
In the audience seats, spectators watched in shock as the incredibly frightening explosion unfolded before their eyes and cold sweat began to form on their foreheads.
Meanwhile, Cecily, braving the oncoming blast wave, observed Rimsy retreating in mid-air and slowly lifted the corners of her mouth.
“This is what makes it interesting!”
With these words, Cecily once again gripped a series of talismans in her hand.
On the other side, Fang Li and Ardi, while not displaying the astonishing offensive power of Cecily and Rimsy, engaged in a high-ranking close combat.
“Smack!”
Fang Li’s footsteps heavily struck the ground, his figure having turned into a blur. It was as if he had countless avatars darting around Ardi’s body, while his dagger transformed into streaks of blade light, ceaselessly slashing in Ardi’s direction.
“Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang, Clank!”
The crisp collision sounds continued to ring out in the surroundings.
Under the overwhelmingly fast movements and slashes, Ardi had completely fallen into a passive defense. He could only raise his colossal hammer, desperately blocking Fang Li’s attacks and intercepting the pieces of blade light.
Facing Fang Li’s terrifying speed and agility, opponents often found themselves in this predicament, much like Sherlock Holmes and Toudou Kirin had before.
“Squeak!”
These individuals were all the same.
In reality, Ardi was no less formidable than the previous two.
Although he lacked Sherlock’s almost precognitive deductive ability and Toudou Kirin’s exceptionally refined Sword Technique, Ardi was a puppet.
Under the influence of his powerful computational ability, Ardi exhibited a deductive prowess rivaling Sherlock’s, reacting promptly to block the intricate attacks coming from all angles.
With his incredible thought-processing speed, Ardi also demonstrated potent learning ability, clearly capturing and analyzing every move made by Fang Li. His own technique continued to improve, and catching up to Toudou Kirin was only a matter of time.
However, Ardi still inevitably found himself in a defensive position.
Because Fang Li’s speed had not yet reached its limit.
“Zing!”
Dazzling starlight surged from Fang Li’s body, resembling fragments of stars orbiting all around him.
Fang Li channeled all his Prana, gathering it beneath his feet.
With the boost from Prana, Fang Li’s speed skyrocketed, his figure turning into a meteor, suddenly passing by Ardi’s vicinity.
“Flashing Scabbard-Four Crossroads!”
The next moment, Fang Li’s figure came to an abrupt halt, as he appeared beside Ardi. He brandished his dagger, delivering four incredibly sharp slashes.
Instantly, four-blade lights seemed to appear simultaneously, like sword auras, shooting toward Ardi.
“Hahaha! Useless!”
Ardi burst into laughter, and a radiant barrier of light emerged in front of him, serving as a shield.
“Clang!”
In a resounding collision, the four-blade lights simultaneously struck the barrier, producing sparks as they were deflected.
However, at this moment, Fang Li’s figure transformed into a flash, darting from below the light barrier and advancing toward Ardi.
“Who said it’s useless? Haven’t you left yourself wide open?”
Beneath Fang Li’s half-smiling voice, his dagger, like a crescent moon, suddenly surged once again.
“Flashing Scabbard-Seven Nights!”
His fastest strike yet, in Fang Li’s hands, was released like a moon arc. It moved at an extremely rapid pace, slashing forward toward Ardi’s school emblem.
“Ooooooooooooh!”
Ardi roared, and in an unavoidable situation, he surprisingly chose to attack. He lifted his colossal hammer high and swung it forcefully towards his own front.
“Clang!”
An intense metallic collision sound resounded.
The heavy hammer, descending with great force, struck the moon arc-like blade light that had passed by in space, colliding with Fang Li’s dagger.
Beneath the weighty force, Fang Li’s dagger was sent flying and landed far away on the ground, sliding away.
“You’re finished!”
Ardi raised his colossal hammer once more, carrying a dreadful gust of wind, and smashed it down towards Fang Li’s head.
The air compressed beneath the colossal hammer, generating a thunderous sonic boom that informed everyone of the immense power behind this strike.
As he gazed at the colossal hammer descending upon him, Fang Li’s eyes gradually narrowed.
