*Bam*
"Khakookk!!"
Roone was sent flying as he was punched again. The Helmut he wore fell down, Nux leisurely walked towards the Helmut and picked it up.
"Hmmm. This really is a good material huh."
"You bastard!"
Roone cursed in anger.
He couldn't understand.
Just what in the hell was happening here?
What's with this ridiculous monster standing in front of him?
He was clearly a King Stage Cultivator, how in the hell is he fighting against him, an Emperor?
Also, why the hell is he so fast!?
He has spared with his father many times before joining this battle.
He knew how fast normal Emperors are, this man, however, is faster than that. Combining his speed with the double swords he was carrying…
His attacks were almost endless.
The weight of Roone's sword was equal to a normal Great Sword, swinging it was not easy, the power it provides him comes with a price,
And that was his speed.
Roone had to sacrifice his speed to get gain this strength and this King Stage Cultivator was exploiting this weakness with his unnatural speed.
"I have to say, I really am a bad matchup for you huh?"
Nux smiled.
"…"
Roone didn't say anything and continued to glare at Nux.
Nux was right.
Nux versus Roone was like an Assassin versus Tank.
No matter how much Roone tried, he failed to keep up. His eyes were able to see where Nux was going to attack, however, moving to defend that area was another challenge, especially with the heavy combat gear he was using.
Even Astaria had a hard time keeping up with Nux's speed and was forced to take the attacking side in order to deal with Nux's speed, for someone like Roone, Nux's was simply a nightmare.
"AAggghhhh!!"
Suddenly, Roone gathered his strength and rushed towards Nux.
His image matched an angry bull.
Nux simply dodged his attack.
Roone, however, was not done yet and attacked again, Nux dodged.
He knew that blocking Roone's attack was not possible, even his 7 Star Swords won't hold on and would be broken into pieces.
Dodging was the only option.
Of course, that didn't mean that dodging like a mouse was the only thing Nux could do.
"Or maybe… it's not about the matchup, but a skill issue?"
Suddenly, Nux thought to himself and started thinking of another possibility,
"Maybe you are just not good enough when it comes to handling weapons? Text © owned by .
Hmmm, if your father had this combat gear, I am sure he would have done a far better job than you.
Why didn't you give it to him?
Was it because you would be too useless after losing this combat gear? Well, I can certainly see that happening."
Nux nodded to himself.
"You talk a lot for a mere insect who does nothing but keep dodging my attack!"
Roone shouted in anger as he continued to unleash his attacks on Nux.
"Heeh? What kind of logic is that?
If I am failing to hit an Expert Stage Cultivator, would others think it is because the Expert Stage Cultivator is running around like an insect, or would they think that I am just an incompetent King Stage Cultivator who should just quit everything and give up on his life?"
Nux just continued to dodge.
Emperors have nearly unlimited amounts of Mana as long as they do not use their own Mana, however, this did not mean that they had unlimited stamina.
If Roone continued to move like that, sooner or later, he would tire out.
Once that happens, then without his helmet, Roone would become a walking target.
Therefore, Nux was just riling him up, making him attack him more inefficiently and wasting more and more energy.
Of course, it didn't mean Nux could take this battle easy, if even one of these attacks connect,
It would be lethal to the point Nux wouldn't be able to take part in the future battle, or in the worse case, he might even die.
Therefore, even though he was acting like he was toying around with Roone, he was still giving his all.
"You fucking bastard!!"
Roone shouted again and suddenly, his speed increased.
'Huh?'
A frown appeared on Nux's face.
This man…
He was using his own Mana to increase his body movement speed…
Even Astaria hadn't done something like this before…
No, more precisely, Astaria wasn't capable of doing something like this.
Body Movement speed was different from overall speed, speed can simply be increased when one focuses on legs, however, when it comes to Body Movements, one had to spread the Mana all over his body accurately.
It was a risky process that required absolute control over one's Mana.
For Roone to pull something like this…
Nux was in a bad spot.
With this, Roone got rid of his most troubling weakness, not to mention it was a weakness Nux was taking advantage of.
'Well… fuck.'
Nux cursed inwardly.
He quickly jumped back. Roone, however, followed him and appeared right in front of him, and slashed his sword.
Nux barely used [Mirror] to diffuse the attack.
Roone was surprised and couldn't understand how Nux parried his attack, soon however, he decided not to think about it.
Nux's facial expression has changed.
Even though he somehow parried his attack and it looked effortless, Roone doubted that he could continue doing that for a long period of time, therefore,
"It is time you know your place, insect!"
Roone's eyes shined brightly and,
*Slash* *Slash* *Slash*
He started attacking continuously at a speed where now Nux was having a hard time reacting to them.
And unlike Nux, all his attacks were deadly and Nux was forced to continuously use [Mirror], which was eating up his mana.
'Fuck. Did I go too far with my teasing?'
Nux questioned inwardly as he continued to parry Roone's attack while jumping back again and again, trying to create some distance, only to be followed up by Roone.
He glanced at Roone again and seeing the excited but determined look on his face, Nux's face turned grim.
