Chapter 408: Chapter 293: Black Swordsman, Brave Lion Slash

Eliphas did not pick up the "alms" of the Black Swordsman, but instead condensed a magic thrusting sword with high temperature and electric current through magic power.

Even after enduring the dual blows of the Overlord and the Dawn Dragon, he maintained his composure during the battle. Upon seeing the Black Swordsman’s heavy armor, he immediately came up with a strategy to use high temperature and electric shocks.

As for why he chose a thrusting sword, it’s his personal habit. Though the difference between a greatsword and a thrusting sword seems vast, with Eliphas’s combat skill, he wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.

As someone who climbed up from the bottom, his martial skill far exceeded his magical prowess. Magic alone couldn’t intimidate mercenaries!

The Black Swordsman held the great sword with both hands, facing off against Eliphas from afar.

"Captain, let’s help too!"

When the mercenaries shouted this, Eliphas moved. He combined Magic Flash and Acceleration Battle Skill to deliver a strike as fast as lightning, and the thrusting sword flickering with flames and electric current reached the Black Swordsman in an instant!

"Bang—"

A heavy collision resounded, the air blast stirred up endless dust, and small stones on the rock wall continuously fell down.

As the thrusting sword was about to hit, the Black Swordsman abruptly slashed his greatsword down, choosing to exchange injury for injury instead of defending!

Such a wild fighting style, like a beast. If that strike hit, Eliphas would be split in two like a pig in a slaughterhouse.

But he reacted in time, or rather, as if he had predicted the Black Swordsman’s attack, he changed direction to defend just in time.

The broad greatsword and the delicate thrusting sword were evenly matched at that moment, time seemed to stand still, and the sparks from the collision fell slowly in front of both sides, Eliphas’s face was cold, his icy gaze confronted the red light flowing from the gaps in the opponent’s helmet.

"Crack! Clang—"

The mercenaries’ inquiries had not faded, yet the two sides collided countless times in an instant, the intensity and speed of the battle left the onlookers dumbfounded.

The Black Swordsman fought wildly, and with brute force combined with the great sword, made his weapon a terrifying presence that would injure on graze and kill on touch for the enemy.

Eliphas remained calm and maneuvered near the battlefield, launching surprise attacks constantly, completely ignoring the opponent’s strategy of exchanging injury for injury, always managing to block the greatsword’s assault with exquisite techniques.

Another round of engagement, Eliphas’s magic weapon aimed at the Black Swordsman’s head, but the beast-shaped helmet of the opponent suddenly opened a bloody maw to bite the thrusting sword, while swinging the great sword as Eliphas couldn’t evade!

"Captain, be careful!"

"Boom!"

The greatsword slashed into the air, Eliphas abandoned his weapon and retreated at a critical moment, and the left-behind weapon exploded violently!

The mixture of high temperature, electric current, and flash burst out together, completely obstructing the Black Swordsman’s vision. When he dispelled the mist with a roar, he saw Eliphas had already gathered a new thrusting sword in the distance, posing in a stance he had never seen before.

"Shoot him."

With Eliphas’s whisper, the magic-formed thrusting sword blade swiftly shot out, like a flash piercing the Black Swordsman’s chest!

But in the next second, a warning of death rang in his mind without any sign, and when he looked up, he saw the greatsword coming down on him!

When was it thrown!?

Eliphas hurriedly dodged, but it was a moment late, and the heavy sword hilt collided with his shoulder, echoing a crisp bone-cracking sound.

"Tsk!"

The Black Swordsman dashed toward Eliphas with meteoric strides, tightly grabbing the sword hilt before the great sword smashed into the rock wall, and spun with a Swirling Slash to interrupt Eliphas who was about to use Healing Magic.

The light and shadow were chaotic, and with no other option, Eliphas used magic to create several decoys to confuse the enemy’s vision, seizing the opportunity to retreat and heal his injuries.

In the first round of clash, both sides were evenly matched, each inflicting wounds.

The Black Swordsman touched the penetrating wound on his chest, as if savoring it.

On the other side, the mercenaries hurried to heal Eliphas, saying, "Captain, let us fight together too."

"No, don’t meddle unnecessarily." Such minor injuries like bone fractures can instantly heal under strong magic. Moving his shoulder back to normal condition, Eliphas showed a familiar smile.

After the brief encounter just now, he had already understood the Black Swordsman’s combat style and physical strength, it wasn’t something he couldn’t contend with.

No, I should say, I can win.

Eliphas’s confidence was ignited. The Black Swordsman undoubtedly posed a challenge, and placed in the outside world, he would be a mighty warrior surpassing captains, but there’s a high possibility he could defeat such an opponent alone.

This would restore the confidence he lost after the blows from the Overlord and the Dawn Dragon.

Gathering a new weapon, he twisted a sword flower, his silver hair fluttering in the dark wind, the apparition of the White Eagle appeared behind him, he pointed at the Black Swordsman like a knight of justice.

"Come on, let’s start the second round."

In the City Lord’s room, Gong Qiying watched the real-time broadcast in the Crystal Ball, nodded at Eliphas’s strength, and then summoned the City Lord Panel.

[Change the Black Swordsman’s strength from C+ to C++]

In the next second, it seemed that a change occurred in the Black Swordsman in the graveyard, and the posture that was originally standing upright like a human suddenly hunched over, he lifted the great sword, and his overall image gave the feeling of... being in a state between human and beast?
