Chapter 119 Fierce Battle
Chapter 119 Fierce Battle
Looking at the young man standing on the platform and then looking at Bakawa leaving, many people had a gloating smile in their eyes.
They all knew that Ash's efforts tonight were in vain.
Unless he can take on the anger of most people present.
But it seems that he doesn't dare.
The owl landed on Ash's shoulder and sighed softly, "The academy will compensate you for this."
"Compensation for what?" Ash asked.
"What do you need?" asked the owl.
Ash thought for a moment and said, "Sword skills. Lots of sword skills."
"Okay." The owl nodded.
Ash turned and left.
The people present also dispersed, some went to comfort their younger generations, and some went to track down Bakawa.
The ritual of refining the Philosopher's Stone can be said to be a success, or a failure. What was successful was that the Philosopher's Stone was indeed refined; what failed was that it turned into Bakawa.
But this is also the reason why some people have doubts. After all, the Philosopher's Stone was originally limited to the students who participated in the ceremony, but now "he" is walking around. Does this mean that as long as "he" is killed, the Philosopher's Stone can be used again?
Many people noticed that the Philosopher's Stone seemed to have become Bakawa's core. If they killed him and took it out, maybe they could still use it.
Near dawn, Ash, who was dozing off in his bedroom, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at his palms:
"coming."
The invisibility spell was released, and Ash headed straight for where the revenge mark was.
Soon, Ash arrived at the place where the revenge mark was, as it was not far from the academy.
At this time, Bakawa's face seemed to have aged a little. He originally looked like eighteen years old, but now he looked like twenty-five or twenty-six.
"You're here." Bakawa looked in a certain direction.
Ash silently lifted the invisibility spell and stopped suppressing the strange power in his palm.
The strange power dissipated instantly and turned into an invisible object that sank into Bakawa's body.
"Now, your Philosopher's Stone has been refined." Ash said as he looked at Bakawa, whose appearance was beginning to regress and become younger.
"Yes." Bakawa nodded, "You want to kill me?"
Ash took out the One and Only: "Why else do you think I came here?"
Bakawa said: "Aren't you afraid that your companions will die? I haven't lifted my power yet."
"Do you think I believe it?" Ash asked back.
"It seems you don't believe it." Bakawa gestured, "Then how about I show you?"
Ash still looked calm: "Don't pretend, what did you do? Do you think I can't see it? You took my things, you should know what I am capable of."
Bakawa lowered his hand gesture and said, "As expected of a gem species, you are truly loved by the world."
Ash said noncommittally: "Alright, let's proceed to the last step, otherwise your level is not enough for me to cut with one sword."
"No room for negotiation?" Bakawa said, "I haven't caused you too much damage."
"But you took my things, and I won't be at peace unless you die," said Ash.
Bakawa sighed, "But didn't I give you the corresponding compensation? I didn't take back the enhancement brought by the Mark of the Fool."
"I said, you took my things, you must die." Ash said calmly.
Bakawa said, "Nothing to discuss?"
Ash said, "No room for negotiation."
"In that case." Bakawa nodded, "Then you die."
A seven-pointed star appeared behind him, and an eagle's head suddenly appeared, which was one of the symbols of Tzeentch.
Colorful feathers began to grow on the Bakawa.
"Is it just the level of being chosen by God?" Ash took a look and said with some regret. He thought Bakawa could reach the level of being chosen by God.
"If this was a genuine Philosopher's Stone refining ceremony, I would naturally be able to enter the level of God's Chosen." Bakawa said, "But unfortunately this is just a modified one."
He waved his hand, and a large amount of underground energy poured into his body, causing his level to break through step by step and emitting a powerful aura.
A bone staff quickly grew from the ground and eventually transformed into a short knife with a skull on it, which was held in Bakawa's hand.
"Using your own corpse as a weapon is really a bad idea."
Ash could see clearly that Bakawa's energy and weapons all came from a corpse, a corpse that was 80% similar to the current Bakawa.
It seems that the one who was killed by the Supervisory Knight was not Bakawa himself, but the corpse just now.
"Any last words?" Ash's aura began to rise, and he released [Divine Power Like a Mountain] and [Unrivaled Sword Intention] at the same time.
Like a mountain, the highest and the greatest.
Bakawa's face suddenly turned pale. He didn't expect that Ash's pressure would be so terrifying.
The power of elements gathered, and a pressure rose from Bakawa that was enough to compete with Ash.
"You are indeed a brave man. Your power is truly terrifying." Bakawa exclaimed, and then he took action directly.
With a slash of the bone dagger in his hand, the power of death gathered, and warriors in black armor crawled out from the shadows one by one.
But before they could move, spells hit them one after another, smashing them to pieces.
It was the second body that took action. He entered the elemental state and floated behind Ash, like a disc, standing upright behind Ash.
Elemental spirit!
A hint of jealousy rose in Bakawa's eyes. Even though this body possessed the elemental heart and elemental antibodies, it still had not been combined and sublimated into an elemental spirit.
I didn't expect that Ash would be able to elevate the group so quickly.
The power of death continued to spread, and one skeleton warrior after another crawled out of the ground, rushed towards Ash, and were then destroyed one by one by the spells of the second body.
But as time went on, the undead creatures that appeared became more and more powerful.
Ash calmly watched Bakawa constantly summoning undead spirits. He was waiting for Bakawa to fully "mature" so that he could eat the biggest fruit.
Bakawa also knew what Ash was waiting for, and a trace of humiliation appeared in his heart. He was like a fish on a chopping board, and when he would die depended entirely on Ash's mood.
But he quickly wiped out this humiliation. As long as he could escape, it didn't matter.
Suddenly, Ash swung out with a sword.
It seemed like nothing was hit, but something was actually hit.
Bakawa's expression suddenly turned ugly because he had just released an invisible spirit, a ghost monster that could escape into space.
He didn't expect that Ash's eyes could see even this.
"Is this all you can do?" Ash spoke slowly, seeming a little dissatisfied.
His strength has improved to the present day, and he has always wanted to find an opponent of equal strength, but he couldn't find one. Either the opponent's status was not suitable, or the opponent was too strong or too weak. He felt like his bones were a little rusty.
Bakawa seems to be a good fit, but he has yet to demonstrate impressive combat power.
"My body has just been reborn, how can it compare with yours?" Bakawa said calmly, "If you have the guts to say this, then let me grow up for a while before you say anything."
Ash said calmly: "By then, you won't even be able to see my back. Do you think you can catch up with me by changing your body?"
"Now is the time when you are closest to me. You should have some cards that you haven't used yet. Use them quickly."
Bakawa sighed, "This is truly a proud statement from a genius. It makes us mortals feel humiliated."
Ash sneered, "Don't act like you're not a genius, Bakawa. Being a professor at the academy isn't something that just any ordinary person can become."
"But in front of geniuses like you, what's the difference between us and ordinary people?" Bakawa opened his arms. "It is precisely because I have seen it that I am so eager!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a holy skeleton emerged from behind Bakawa, facing the rising sun and spreading its feathered bone wings, looking sacred and beautiful.
Silver Species: Death Light Sigher, Challenge Level 600
"Not enough, is there any more?" Ash shook his head slightly.
As if in response to Ash's words, two smaller Death Light Sighers emerged from behind Bakawa.
The three Death Light Sighers joined forces, and then streams of gray rays continued to shoot towards Ash.
The second body released spells to resist, but found that these gray rays ignored the spell defenses and directly penetrated layer after layer of spell defenses and shot towards Ash.
Ash didn't move because he saw the nature of these gray rays.
Without any defense, Ash allowed these gray rays to hit him.
A little bit of death energy permeated his body and was instantly turned into life.
Seeing this, Bakawa narrowed his eyes and asked, "The power of life?"
The gray light just shot out by the Death Ray Sighers is their signature skill, the Death Ray, which has a very small chance of causing instant death.
Therefore, even though they know that the probability of it being effective is very low, few people dare to resist it. No one dares to gamble on that probability, unless they have inherent skills such as [Death Resistance] that allow them to resist instant death.
But Bakawa knew clearly that among Ash's inherent skills, there was absolutely no skill that could resist instant death.
There is only one possibility left, Ash has the power of life, so he is not afraid of instant death skills at all.
Ash nodded slightly, not denying it.
"It's really enviable." Bakawa sighed again.
The three Death Light Sighers behind him each brandished a cross sword and rushed towards Ash together.
If the death ray doesn't work, then try physical methods.
Mystery: Sun Shower
Ash swung his sword, and instantly thousands of golden points of light burst out like raindrops. This time he did not hold back, and he held only one in his hand.
Rusty!
The golden spots of light were like sharp swords, leaving sword marks on the three Death Light Sighers and gradually erasing them.
After a rain of light, only feathers were left slowly falling from the air.
Bakawa frowned, because he couldn't analyze the power contained in this sword move. It was fire, sword, or more than that. Otherwise, the Death Ray Sigher would not have been killed instantly by Ash in one move.
"It's destruction." Ash knew what Bakawa was thinking and said directly.
"Destruction." Bakawa's brows relaxed. "You are really arrogant. Aren't you afraid that the Chosen Ones of Khorne will come to you?"
The god most involved in destruction is Khorne. After all, he has always loved slaughter and death, and these two are often associated with destruction.
"We'll have to fight sooner or later, so why be afraid?" Ash shrugged. "By the way, are you still not well?"
"Right at it." Bakawa stabbed himself with his backhand, and blood flowed down the blade into his skull.
The next moment, although it was just dawn, it fell into darkness again, and a pair of scarlet eyes opened from the darkness.
"dumb--"
A slightly harsh sound was heard, and Ash saw clearly the creature summoned by Bakawa this time, a golden type Death Crow, with a challenge level of 750.
"Old man, you are not dead yet." The first words the Death Crow said were to Bakawa. Although his body had changed, his soul had not. "You are not dead yet, how can I die?" Bakawa laughed.
"How can you compare with me?" A trace of contempt appeared in the eyes of the Death Crow. Then it saw the feathers on Bakawa's body, and its pupils suddenly shrank. "You really surrendered to Tzeentch, Bakawa!"
"There is no other way. If we want to hide our fate, we can only rely on Him," said Bakawa.
"Tsk!" Death Crow pouted in a humane way, his eyes reflecting Ash in the distance, "If it could really be covered up, would you be blocked by this kid?"
Bakawa glanced at Ash and said, "He is beyond destiny. Besides, if Tzeentch really were omniscient and omnipotent, he wouldn't be one of the five evil gods."
"Beyond fate?" Death Crow looked Ash up and down, "Hey, kid, how about we make a deal? Let this old man go today. I don't want to fight with you."
Although it was just a cursory look, it could still see the energy surging through Ash all the time. In its magic eyes that could see death, his entire body was as if completely black, with no dead spot visible.
If it's not careful, it might die. This is what it is told by the feeling it has acquired in the wild.
"I'm sorry, but he has to die here today." Ash shook his head.
Death Crow tilted his head: "Do you two have a deadly feud?"
"No." Ash shook his head again.
"Is it necessary to pursue him to death?" said the Death Crow. "You are not the chosen one of the true gods, so there is no reason to fight him to death."
Ash said, "He took my things."
"Can you return it?" The Death Crow looked at Bakawa.
Bakawa shook his head.
"Then I will help you one last time. When it's over this time, the contract between you and me will end!" The Death Crow said coldly, and then its twenty or thirty meter long body disappeared in an instant.
The next second, ding!
A figure flew backwards in an instant. It was Ash. Where he was originally, the Death Crow had suddenly appeared there.
boom!
His feet sank into the ground, and Ash stopped flying backwards.
But the next second, the Death Crow came after him again, and its gray claws filled with dark deathly energy grabbed Ash fiercely, as if it wanted to crush him to death.
Ya Xiu took a long breath and put the [Fusion Technique] he had learned into operation, fusing the [Flame Sun Fighting Qi] and [Cang Lei Fighting Qi] in his body into one.
The fusion technique can indeed only fuse two energies together, but what about performing it again?
It is feasible, but the consumption of mental energy will increase greatly. However, now Ash has much more mental energy thanks to [Multiple Uses of One Mind] and the thinking enhancement brought by the mage.
[True Sword Fighting Qi] and Fusion Fighting Qi merged again, and the violent fighting qi made Ash feel a little bloated even with his current body.
But it’s okay, just let the swelling out.
Mystery: [Earth Rising Sun]
The scorching sun rises from the ground, trying to break through the darkness.
boom!
Fierce energy collided between the sword and the claws, releasing waves of shock waves that scraped off layer upon layer of the surrounding ground.
But darkness still enveloped the sun.
Ash was rushed out.
The sword was stuck in the ground, using friction to dissipate the impact force. Ash gritted his teeth and swallowed the blood in his mouth. He really deserved to be a gold species. Although he was obviously the weakest among the gold species, he was actually quite strong.
The Death Crow felt the wound on its claw healing and looked at Ash with an increasingly solemn gaze.
What's going on with this Homo sapiens in front of me? He is only level 57, but he can challenge myself who is level 750. The challenge coefficient must be 13. This is a realm that ordinary demigods cannot reach even with the power and blessings.
And damn, this Homo sapiens should have mastered the power of life, and was too restrained against it, so the power of its skills was almost reduced by half.
Ash raised his sword.
The only one, the second form
The metal multiplied and quickly turned into a six-meter-tall red and blue mecha.
To deal with giant beasts, it is more reliable to rely on mechas.
Drawing out his two swords, Ash attacked the Death Crow again.
Demonic puppet?
The Death Crow flew up, then flapped its wings, and a gray wind rushed towards Ash.
【The Wind of Decay】
The wind brought a rotten smell to the joints of the single mecha, causing rust to form there.
But as soon as the rust appeared, purple lightning flashed and quickly shattered the rust.
The wings of light shone brightly, drawing three pairs of red lines in the air, pulling Ash to the front of the Death Crow.
[Death Rigidity]
But before Ash could attack, a pair of rays shot out from the eyes of the Death Crow, instantly freezing Ash.
In just half a second, Ash released the control.
But this half second was enough for the Death Crow to attack again.
【Death Slash】
The Death Crow's wings were like knives, and they slammed hard into the center of the only mecha. It saw that Ash was there.
boom!
The armor was dented and Ash couldn't help but spit out blood. The blood was instantly absorbed by Yi Yi and used to repair the damage to the armor.
'The unique class is still a bit low.'
Ash realized this problem. The one and only weapon that was enough for him in the past was no longer enough to face the Death Crow.
Devoting some of his energy, he poured some of the materials in the space ring into the cabin. While Ash was driving the One and Only mecha to fight the Death Crow, One and Only quickly absorbed the materials.
Soon, a message popped up in Ash's sight.
{Achievement: [Birth Weapon VII] achieved, reward: characteristic extraction once.}
{Activate achievement · [Natural Weapon VIII]: The natal weapon reaches level eight.}
Features: Enchanting, refining, purification.
Ash took a quick look and directly chose enchantment.
Refining can make weapons of higher quality, but the quality of a weapon that has been tempered by the heavenly punishment of [Yingtian] day after day is already as high as it can be.
Not to mention purification, heavenly punishment can take its place.
Enchantment is pretty good. It can absorb a spell and turn it into an enchanted effect that lasts for a period of time. If you play it well, it can also resist an attack. After all, the source of spells is not limited.
The second body reappeared, chanting a difficult spell at a high speed.
[Unsharpened Blade]
Golden light emerged, and the body of the Unique Mecha was immediately covered with a thin film, which made the attacking Death Crow feel that the Unique was getting tougher.
Damn it, can this magic puppet adapt to itself? !
For the time being, Death Crow could not think of the unique ability to advance midway, but thought that it had adaptive characteristics and could change its resistance according to enemy attacks.
Feeling that the end of the contract was getting closer, the Death Crow became a little anxious.
This species of Homo sapiens is like an indestructible cockroach, and it can burst back every time it is suppressed.
I can only say that the right to life is really lame in this regard.
After the Death Crow chopped Ash away once again, it roared, "Boy, stop it, or I'm sure I won't kill you next time!"
"I can only say that it's exactly what I want!" Ash's excited voice came from the only mecha.
"Damn battle maniac!" The Death Crow cursed angrily. Just from this one sentence, it knew what Ash's true nature was.
Magical power vibrated, and a dark field spread from the body of the Death Crow, instantly pulling Ash into the dark space.
There was no sound, no light, no smell, and even my skin had lost all feeling.
Ash fell into a state where he lost all five senses.
With his two swords crossed, Ash accurately blocked the stabbing bird's beak.
Intuition? !
The Death Crow was startled. It was impossible for ordinary people to move so quickly because they were in a state of lack of five senses. Even people who had honed their sixth sense and mind would react a beat slower than those outside.
The only people who can react quickly in this [Night of Insensitivity] are those with intuition.
trouble!
The Death Crow became more and more violent, its feathers fell off, and it spun rapidly, circling around it like a chainsaw.
Its wings shone, and two feather rings instantly slashed towards the shoulders of the unique mecha.
Ash swung his swords, but both swords only managed to hit one feather each, and the remaining feathers were already attacking the joints of the unique mecha like a chainsaw felling a tree.
Click, click, click!
Even with the enchantment, scars quickly appeared on the shoulders of the unique mecha and continued to deepen.
Ash also responded quickly, and the flames of heavenly punishment erupted, burning Crow Feather to ashes.
Looking at the flames, fear appeared in the Death Crow's eyes. This power seemed to have more restraint on it.
The eyes in molten gold also broke free from the shackles of [Night of Insensibility].
Mystery: [Meteoric Sun]
The two swords merged together, like the blooming sun, and then landed on the Death Crow.
"dumb!"
The Death Crow let out a painful wail, and a deep scar appeared on its chest.
[Night of No Feeling] was also broken because of this.
Ash took advantage of the victory and quickly killed the Death Crow. He used the secrets of Chico's swordsmanship one after another and defeated the Death Crow again and again.
This kid has too much fighting spirit, how come it hasn’t been exhausted yet!
There was a trace of frustration in the Death Crow's eyes. Others used their ultimate skills very sparingly, but Ash was different and just used them as normal skills.
Is it because of the power again? What exactly is this kid's unique skill that involves so many powers!
"dumb!"
A pitch-black ring suddenly appeared, and the Death Crow repelled Ash. Then, its eyes glowed scarlet, and it was obvious that it was going to use its trump card.
Ash's two swords also began to turn black, absorbing the surrounding light like black holes.
The battlefield became eerily quiet until a breeze blew from afar.
call!
The two moved instantly.
Super Secret Technique: Black Sun
【Road to Hades】
Pitch-black rays shot out from the Death Crow's eyes, facing the oncoming black swords.
There was silence at first, followed by a buzzing sound and a deafening roar.
The roar completely alarmed the entire Saint Laurent College nearby.
The students and teachers thought someone had attacked the academy, but when they went outside, they found that the academy was intact. However, the sky in the west seemed darker than usual, even though the sun had already come out.
Only some senior teachers looked at the West with serious expressions. With their own methods, they could see clearly what was happening over there.
A demon puppet-like being was fighting with a golden Death Crow, and it looked like the demon puppet had won.
That’s all for today, more will be added tomorrow.
