TEASER CHAPTER 7 PART 25
The
fight between Nozomu and Zonne was slowly but surely starting to shift towards
Nozomu.
Zonne
was concerned about the upper limit of his current strength because of his old
man's body. On the other hand, Tiamat was trying to increase her power without worrying
about Nozomu's body.
Now
that they were competing in close combat techniques against each other, the
difference was purely based on the total amount of power the user had exerted.
"Mmm!"
The
slash shot by Nozomu finally shattered Zonne's staff of light.
With
his technique destroyed, Zonne leaped backward, leaving the scattered elements
behind.
In
addition, he raised his right hand and deployed multiple techniques. He created
a huge ball of light as huge as his body and immediately exploded it.
The
shockwaves generated at the same time were concentrated in one direction. The
shockwave was released toward Nozomu and attempted to blow him away.
The
released shockwave was released in the spur of the moment, but it was powerful
enough to match Tima's offensive magic.
Moreover,
the distance between him and Nozomu was only a few meters. It was not a
distance from which Nozomu could react at all. Naturally, it was also
impossible to evade.
Furthermore,
Zonne created an arrow of light in his left hand at the same time as the
explosion and shot it soundlessly while hiding in the shadow of the exploding
ball of light.
The
two-stage attack consisted of a surface attack and a stealth attack.
To
begin with, it took more than just reflexes to win a high-speed battle. It also
required a deep intelligence to anticipate the opponent's movements and a high
level of thinking ability to make instantaneous judgments.
Those
who were consumed by anger often suffer defeat due to a lack of this thinking
ability and intelligence. In that sense, the current Nozomu, who was consumed
by his own anger, had almost no thinking ability.
""
Oooooooo! ""
However,
such common sense didn't apply to this young man.
As
soon as Zonne raised his hand, he swung the blade of chaos in his hand, as if
he had predicted his action.
A
very thin blade of Qi ran along the trajectory of the blade.
The
[Phantom] released from the blade sliced the supposedly invisible shockwave in
half, and furthermore, cutting in half the arrow of light that was approaching
from behind it.
"There
are still more!"
However,
Zonne had also predicted it to that extent.
Suddenly,
the ground under Nozomu's feet emitted a radiance, and countless thorns of
light protruded from it.
Multiple
attacks that combined surface and stealth attacks. The ball of light and arrow
of light released earlier were all bluffs.
In
addition, these thorns of light were just a way to buy time.
After
realizing that the thorns of light would not be enough to finish Nozomu off,
Zonne again constructed a multiple magic circle in an attempt to launch a
powerful counterattack. He began pouring in as many elements as he could.
No
matter how long it took Nozomu to slash the thorns of light to protect himself,
it would take time, even if it was less than half a second. That little time
was enough for Zonne. However…….
"What
the hell?"
Nozomu
went beyond Zonne's expectations. He stepped forward despite one of the thorns
of light that was about to thrust up toward him.
