Chapter 1215 - 30: Blade Wheel
Noticing the hateful gaze of Dunk Nik, and his words, ’You are... Annihilator,’ Su Xiao had a rough idea of the situation.
The Shadow of Annihilation Law entered this world many years ago and didn’t stay long, perhaps just to solve some trouble.
Who knows what the Shadow of Annihilation Law did to the Undead Clan, but Su Xiao could confirm one thing: this was Dunk Nik’s first time seeing a living Shadow of Annihilation Law; otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken so long to recognize his aura.
From the above conclusion, the enmity between the Undead Clan and the Shadow of Annihilation Law should be a thing of the past, yet Dunk Nik’s hateful gaze left Su Xiao confused.
How could Dunk Nik hold such hatred for the Shadow of Annihilation Law over an enmity that spanned countless generations?
What the Shadow of Annihilation Law did was simple, killing over 90% of the Undead Clan and warning them that continuing to study undead magic would lead to their extermination.
Hence, it is conceivable how much the Undead Clan hates or fears the Shadow of Annihilation Law; it’s a deep-seated hatred and fear that is passed down through generations.
"You all... appear on the Xiya Continent again."
Dunk Nik pulled down his hood, revealing a slightly aged face, belonging to an Undead in his 50s. He had a head full of white short hair, and his face was crisscrossed with scars, including knife wounds and burns.
The most noticeable feature of Dunk Nik was the scar around his neck, a half-circular mark indicating that his neck had once been cut halfway.
"Or are you not from that Vast Land, but rather, an Annihilator cultivated by the Royal Family using their mastered technology?"
Dunk Nik scrutinized Su Xiao. If Su Xiao was the former, Dunk Nik would retreat immediately to deliver this important news back to the Undead Clan. If he was the latter, Dunk Nik would find a way to kill Su Xiao.
The former scenario implies that many Shadows of Annihilation Law could arrive on the Xiya Continent, whereas the latter means the Royal Family’s military strength has increased, presenting a different level of threat to the Undead Clan.
What the Undead Clan didn’t know was that the era of Annihilators had passed, and they didn’t have to remain on edge anymore.
Su Xiao didn’t care about what Annihilators did on the Xiya Continent in the past; given the current situation, he and Dunk Nik would surely engage in a deadly battle.
Su Xiao stood up, and the Dragon Slash in his hand slowly drew out.
Dunk Nik stood on a nearby wall, and based on his judgment, if Su Xiao were an Annihilator from ’Vast Land,’ he wouldn’t be serving as the Iron Hand of the ’Holy Sodding Kingdom.’
Thinking this, Dunk Nik felt relieved, and the hatred in his eyes faded, leaving only pure hostility.
Dunk Nik hated the Shadow of Annihilation Law, or rather, he hated the will it inherited; a will that sacrificed a small number of intelligent beings (related to elements, magic, and such) to allow more intelligent beings to live and survive normally, maintaining the elemental balance of the planet and thus prolonging its lifespan.
The deeds of the Shadow of Annihilation Law looked righteous, but executing them was not; it stained their hands with blood, erected countless enemies, and earned universal dread and even hostility.
The Shadow of Annihilation Law was not about justice; they represented absolute neutral adjudication and slaughter, neutral to the point of coldness.
Dunk Nik’s hatred seemed like a disaster from the sky, something Su Xiao didn’t care much about or had grown accustomed to.
After reviewing Dunk Nik’s profile, Su Xiao vaguely sensed that his opponent was not just a straightforward close combat or Assassin; his abilities leaned more towards mid-range combat. Of course, his close combat ability was undoubtedly off the charts, with Level 42 Master’s Level Basic Ability attesting to that.
Su Xiao glanced at A Mu’s battle situation on the side, which wasn’t optimistic, but A Mu could at least hold the enemy at bay for more than 10 minutes, which was enough.
After a moment’s hesitation, Su Xiao did not immediately use a certain ability but lowered his body, locking eyes with Dunk Nik.
Boom!
The stone-walled pool at Su Xiao’s feet shattered, and clear water surged out from the collapse.
With a splash, a large amount of pool water flooded into the courtyard, and Su Xiao had disappeared from his spot, rushing straight towards Dunk Nik.
On the distant wall, Dunk Nik leaped down as a blade aura slashed past his side.
Clang.
The light blue blade aura flew into the sky, and Dunk Nik landed without wielding a weapon, currently unarmed.
Was Dunk Nik planning to fight Su Xiao unarmed? Certainly not, his weapon was unique and didn’t need to be carried with him.
Green light particles emerged between Dunk Nik’s palms, pooling together to eventually form two curved long daggers, approximately 60 centimeters in length.
The two long daggers were crescent-shaped, peculiarly shaped weapons lacking guards and with poor balance, classified as rather lousy close combat weapons.
Dunk Nik raised his arms to the side, muscles bulging as he gathered strength before throwing the two strangely shaped long daggers.
Whoosh~
The two crescent daggers spun at high speed, rapidly forming two circular Blade Wheels, whistling as they flew forward.
This was Dunk Nik’s combat style; the ’Undead Force Simulation Level 40’ was an ability to create weapons, simulating undead force into energy weapons, similar to Su Xiao’s Counter Shield in nature.
The ’Necro Force Manipulator Level 40’ was for controlling the thrown Blade Wheels, and the ’Undead Power: Heart’s Web Level 40’ was for perceiving the enemy’s location, allowing the Blade Wheels to lock onto the enemy.
As for the final ’Undead Power Death Spin (exclusive ability Level 20),’ it enhanced the rotational speed and damage of the Blade Wheels.
Two Blade Wheels, emitting green light, flew forward as Dunk Nik’s hands made a hollow grip, which immediately accelerated their spinning speed.
Buzz!
The Blade Wheels emitted a piercing buzzing sound as their rotational speed increased, while their size ballooned, forming two Blade Wheels about two meters in diameter.
Dunk Nik’s series of actions appeared cumbersome, but in reality, he leaped off the wall and threw the Blade Wheels in an instant.
The Blade Wheels had just flown 10 meters when a crisp sound resounded.
Clang!
Sparks flew as one Blade Wheel angled upward into the sky, revealing Su Xiao, who wielded a long knife, originally intending to charge Dunk Nik, but was intercepted midway by the Blade Wheel.
Su Xiao was still about fifteen meters away from Dunk Nik, a distance not suitable for using the Dragon Shadow Flash ability.
From the start until now, Su Xiao was hesitating whether to activate the ’Demonic Hunt Time.’ The ’Demonic Hunt Time’ was undeniably powerful but had a cooldown of 10 days; furthermore, during these 10 days, Su Xiao had to amass Mana Value, collecting up to 6000 points before being able to use the ’Demonic Hunt Time’ again. During intense battles, his Mana Value might not even suffice for self-recovery, let alone overflow.
Su Xiao was uncertain if he would encounter other strong enemies afterward, so he planned to probe for now; if the situation became slightly unfavorable, he would immediately activate ’Demonic Hunt Time.’
