Four Split Personalities

Motan smiled, shrugged, and said, "I’ve thought about it and decided it’s better to save Wang Badan for the ’performance match’ later."

"Haha, looking down on me, huh?"

Dabus, who would never look down on someone like ’Mor’, joked with a cheerful laugh. He undid two buttons on his uniform collar and reminded, "Even though we haven’t had any real battles since we split, the levels I’ve accumulated during this time aren’t just for show, I’ve unlocked a lot of new skills too."

Motan also started laughing, saying with a smile, "Then you better go easy on me; the weapon I’m holding right now probably can’t even penetrate your defense."

"Easy enough."

"Thanks~"

The next moment, the two simultaneously put away their smiles, locking onto each other’s aura with incredible synchronization.

Meanwhile, Jadka, standing by the sidelines, raised his magic wand high, which was good at self-destructing but hadn’t blown up in quite a while, and shouted, "Then, ready—"

Boom!!!

Accompanied by a fireball, which should have been used as a signal flare, exploding the wand and blowing up the spellcaster, Motan and Anthony Dubs moved simultaneously.

[Sword Wind]

As a probing attack, a sharp glimmer was flung by Motan at a high speed, and its velocity was at least three times faster than Dabus’s perception of the move!

However, this level of attack wasn’t enough to disturb Dabus; in fact, before the high-speed Sword Wind was about to cut into his abdomen, he didn’t even react.

Bam—

The wild-shaped warhammer shattered the Sword Wind in mid-air, with Anthony, reacting almost as soon as Motan placed his hand on the sword hilt, securely intercepting the blow and completing a textbook block with precision.

Simultaneously, a head-sized fireball, spewing out a sinister green flame, was already forming in Dabus’s right hand, roaring as it aimed at Motan.

Compared to the fast but limited lethality [Sword Wind], Dabus’s spell [Evil Flame Ball] not only had an extremely short casting time of 0.75 seconds, but its damage was also spot-on. The splash range of nearly two square meters effectively compensated for its relatively slow flight speed, making it very useful as a conventional attack method.

However, as useful as it is, Dabus wasn’t confident enough to believe this hit could cause any harm to Motan, so after launching the [Evil Flame Ball], he immediately raised his hand over Anthony’s lifted warhammer, coating it with a layer of fiercely burning Evil Fire, and loudly commanded: "Push forward, Anthony!"

"Anthony, go for it!"

Anthony, who had taken over most of the body’s usage rights, shouted, pushing off with both feet, and his massive body, like a cannonball, barreled forward, waving the warhammer engulfed in Evil Flame madly as he aimed it at Motan, who had just pierced the Evil Flame Ball with a single sword.

Of course, despite the excitement, Anthony, excited to loosen up his muscles, subconsciously held back, considering that in his eyes, Brother Mor is absolutely one of his own, and it wouldn’t be good to injure him during playful sparring.

But as it turns out, Brother Mor was still the same as before, not someone who could be easily defeated by holding back—

Motan slightly leaned forward, having already activated [Waning Moon] beforehand, deftly dodged, narrowly avoiding Anthony’s swinging warhammer, and after the Evil Fire on it burned away 2% of his health, he swung down the sword hilt with lightning speed, deflecting off the warhammer, and used the momentum to spring upward.

Immediately following that, over ten meteor-like red streaks roared out, fiercely hitting Anthony Dubs’s right shoulder, leaving a multitude of dense slash marks on his broad teaching uniform.

This was the first new skill Motan learned after briefly reading the book "Sword Principle" by the Snow Bathing Sword—[Red Lotus·Hundred Broken Stars]

Though the sound and light effects of this move were impressive, and Anthony Dubs seemed quite embarrassed, the latter’s health only dropped by less than 3%, not even mentioning any potential bleeding effects. The taut copper-colored skin under the two-headed ogre teacher’s uniform didn’t even have a single cut, except for slightly impaired movement.

Nevertheless, what Motan wanted was for Anthony Dubs’s movements to be off, and he forcibly interrupted the [Red Lotus·Hundred Broken Stars] which was less than one-third complete, gracefully passing by like a breeze and sheathing his sword.

Only at this moment did a crescent moon-like circular wheel suddenly appear between them, shaking off Anthony’s right hand, which failed to block in time, leaving a long white slash mark across his chest.

[Crescent Moon Flash·Complete Cut]

Another insight from "Sword Principle", Motan’s original skill [Crescent Moon Flash] had undergone a transformation, receiving comprehensive enhancements in terms of speed and attack power, and was even endowed with the outrageous characteristic of [Delayed Effect]. Simply put, as long as Motan wished, he could retract the ’slash’ during the move and release it within 0.1 to 0.5 seconds afterward, sacrificing the weapon’s native physical damage for a significant surprise factor.

Because of this, even with Anthony’s formidable instincts in close combat brawls, he misjudged due to the ’delay’ and took a solid slash from Motan.

Moreover, Dabus was quickly chanting to repel Motan with [Evil Flame Storm], but his spell was interrupted, and by the time they could react further, Motan’s third move was coming in from the frontal zone—

Vast red Sword Qi, like a torrential rainstorm, swept head-on, forcing Dabus to use the [Resistant Fire Ring] with a long cooldown of 7 minutes, narrowly nullifying the first half of the attack. This bought enough time and space for Anthony, who used the three mighty blows of the [Armor Removal Hammer] to dismantle this offensive.

"That move just now was called [Bright Red Sky Slash⋅Confusion]."

Silently appearing behind Anthony Dubs, Motan lightly touched the tip of his foot on Anthony’s left shoulder to easily dodge Anthony’s instinctive warhammer swing, then lightly tapped his Longsword to fulfill the casting condition of a certain skill.

[Derivative Skill·Cherry Blossom Waning Moon·Only Flash]

Accompanied by a warning of ’Be careful’, a vast phantom of cherry blossoms appeared on Anthony Dubs’ retina for about half a second. Then the tense-bodied and just activated a [Flame Shield] Anthony felt a sting spreading from his surface, finding at least twenty fine blood cuts had appeared on his body, seemingly out of nowhere.

With this strike, Motan slashed off a full 14% of Anthony Dubs’s health, successfully applying two layers of bleeding state to him.

Indeed, as everyone might have guessed, Motan’s recently developed powerful skill [Cherry Blossom Waning Moon] had also been upgraded. Under the [Only Flash] preparatory stance, the original three defensive counterattack requirements needing [Waning Moon] completion were reduced to one, and the former wide-ranging dispersed Sword Qi was compressed into a single beam. Although its lethality remained somewhat dispersed, its assassination capability was greatly enhanced, and its solo combat proficiency significantly optimized.

It has to be said, amidst Motan’s seamless combo routine, which was [Waning Moon]-[Red Lotus·Hundred Broken Stars]-[Crescent Moon Flash·Complete Cut]-[Bright Red Sky Slash⋅Confusion]-[Cherry Blossom Waning Moon·Only Flash], even from the second move’s impact, Anthony Dubs, who was almost fully exerted, remained suppressed from start to finish, unable to retaliate.

Moreover...

The quality of the weapon Motan held was still [Shattered] Dawn!
