Chapter 224: The White-Hot Battlefield
Liam knew that the current Ottar was still holding back. To be precise, he was holding back a sea of power.
Even though it was Liam's first time fighting an Lv7 enemy, he couldn't feel any killing intent from Ottar in his heart.
Yes, this was a completely different situation from facing Udaeus and the Juggernaut in the Dungeon.
When those monsters faced Liam, their emotions were very pure. That was, to kill him directly.
At that time, his perception could clearly sense the other party's killing intent.
However, now facing Ottar, he could not sense any killing intent.
Even the hostility was very weak. In other words, the current Ottar was just sparring with Liam to train him?
Liam was a little annoyed. Although he had a template, when facing Ottar, could he still only ensure that he would not be injured?
However, Liam quickly calmed his unhappy mood.
If their comprehensive qualities were similar, Liam had a two hundred percent probability of defeating the other party.
Even if the other party could temporarily be promoted to Lv8, but the current Liam.
His development time was still too short.
Ottar's current age was thirty-two. He was adopted by Freya as an infant.
Afterward, it took him two years to advance to Lv2, but Ottar did not immediately engage in adventurer activities after receiving the Falna.
After receiving the Falna, Ottar focused on improving his own sword skills and other abilities.
Therefore, his actual usage time was about one year.
And from receiving the Falna until now, Ottar had only reached the level of Lv7.
If just comparing the time from engaging in adventurer activities to advancing to Lv2, then Ottar, like Ais, had advanced to Lv2 in one year.
In the original work, Bell took one and a half months (49 days) to reach level two, one month to reach level three, two months to reach level four, and a little over two months to reach level five.
And the current Liam was clearly much more efficient than Bell.
When Bell sublimated to Lv4, Liam had already reached the level of Lv5 and had led the Hestia Familia from nothing to an astonishing height.
If Loki and Freya were the current T0 Familias in Orario, then the current Hestia Familia was undoubtedly the T1 Familia in Orario.
And it wouldn't be long before the Hestia Familia would, along with the improvement of Liam's strength, be promoted to become the strongest Familia in Orario.
The level of Lv7, for the current Liam, was not at all an unattainable dream.
Even the highest level holder in Orario, Lv9, Liam was confident of reaching it in just a few years.
A series of meteors bombarded the distant Ottar. Liam's figure once again pulled away from Ottar.
Inside the entire Colosseum, a large number of blades, like meteors, smashed out large and small craters here.
Not only that, but even more intense impacts were constantly erupting from the clash between Ottar and Liam.
Liam's two hands held Envy and Sloth. The Selfless Sword Aura was contained within them, and then he began a tug-of-war with Ottar.
Facing Ottar's unreasonable stats, a frontal defense would be very consuming of stamina.
Then, the only way was to use a more mobile move than the other party to evade.
If it was a comparison of the number of skills, or the splendor of swordsmanship, it was clear that Liam would become the most splendid swordsman in Orario.
That he could get the title of Sword Saint also had a lot to do with him having numerous sword techniques.
"Secret Sword Art? Let me experience its mysteries firsthand!"
Ottar held the Beast Lord's Sword and charged at high speed with exaggerated stats.
However, in the face of Ottar's charge, Liam's figure instantly dodged, and Thrusting Smash was released at high speed.
The figures of the two did not collide. Liam's figure soared into the air, and then, carrying Thrusting Dragon-Slaying Slash, he descended from the sky~!
"BOOM!"
A dazzling golden dragon head instantly appeared, and then collided with Ottar's Beast Lord's Sword.
The ground under Ottar's feet instantly shattered, and the shockwave formed on the blades of the two sides caused the figures of both sides to change.
The Beast Lord's Sword smashed towards the ground, and Liam's figure soared towards the high sky.
With the help of this ascending force, Liam's figure turned into a golden giant dragon and once again descended from the sky.
Ottar only had time to hold the greatsword in front of him, and then Liam, bringing a series of phantoms and a golden dragon head, slashed at Ottar.
"ROAR!"
A resounding golden dragon's cry appeared in the Colosseum, and then the golden dragon head continuously moved on the ground and high in the air.
This speed that surpassed conventional speed made Ottar's figure continuously retreat, but he, like Liam, still did not get injured.
Liam held his weapon and began to use Triple Slash on one side and Secret Sword Art on the other.
Medium-distance high-speed movement, and using sword aura for restraint.
He thought that Ottar was also experiencing this special sword art for the first time, right?
Without too many thoughts, the current Liam just wanted to find Ottar's flaw as much as possible.
Liam was not new to facing enemies with a huge disparity in strength, so he was very patient.
As long as he could, through various moves, find a flaw, then he could come up with a strategy to counter the other's attack.
The sword aura restraint didn't seem to be of much use. Facing a powerhouse of this level, was it really only by facing them head-on with more exquisite techniques that it would be effective?
A Selfless Sword Domain appeared around Liam again, and then Liam began to engage in close combat around Ottar.
Because of the characteristics of the Sword Soul template, Liam found that his weapon switching speed was amplified, and even his own dexterity value was briefly amplified.
"This is Swift Hand!"
The Sword Soul template had many skills. Swift Hand was a passive ability of the Sword Soul template:
It amplified the speed of switching weapons. After switching weapons, one would get a ten-second boost in attack speed and movement speed.
Because he was fighting with Ottar, the current strongest in Orario, Liam had to review the entire Sword Soul template.
And to use all the abilities in his Sword Soul template and divine Falna as much as possible.
This was the first time he had personally fought an Lv7 enemy.
If it was Lv6, by using the mechanism of his own skills, Liam could still barely defeat them one-on-one.
But if it was Lv7, this level seemed to be already another realm.
In the face of this strength, to be able to barely not get injured had already made Liam tense up his spirit.
"Just this is far from enough! I must find a way to defeat Ottar!"
Fighting a powerhouse of Ottar's level, if one just had the idea of delaying time, then it would be very easy for the other party to find a flaw.
Only by having the thought of crushing him from the very beginning could one delay for more time as much as possible.
"Flowing Stance: Pierce!"
Unlike in the game, in the game, to release Flowing Stance: Pierce, one had to first enter the Flowing Stance state, which would directly fix one in place.
But in reality, Flowing Stance had changed from a preparatory action to a state ability.
The moment Ottar was preparing to slash, Liam had already released a thrust one step ahead.
Ottar, facing the coming attack, had no choice but to continue to defend.
"Clang!"
A huge impact came from the tip of Liam's blade to Ottar's sword body. Ottar's greatsword was clearly pushed back a little to Ottar's side.
"Flowing Stance: Leap!"
At the same time as Ottar took half a step back, Liam switched weapons with both hands and took out the Wrath Zhanmadao.
This was a greatsword in the shape of a Zhanmadao. Liam quickly leaped up, the Zhanmadao in his hand held high, and he slashed down at Ottar.
The greatsword, carrying a multi-colored flowing light, was once again defended by Ottar. Ottar's upward-slashing greatsword parried Liam's Zhanmadao.
Liam landed. The Zhanmadao, which had been parried into the air after the downward slash, turned around and released a new move in an upward-slashing manner.
"Flowing Stance: Rise!" Liam released an upward-slashing attack at Ottar, his entire figure leaping into the air.
This attack was easily dodged by the other party.
Liam did not feel any regret. Afterward, the Selfless Sword Domain unfolded again.
Nearly two hundred sharp blades emerged from it. They followed Liam and fell towards Ottar.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
Ottar once again condensed his power onto his blade and slashed at Liam's position.
A large number of armaments flew apart in all directions. Liam's figure was also sent flying by this attack.
Facing Ottar's sword aura slash, Liam held Wrath in front of him, and his figure was sent flying from mid-air to a high altitude.
In the process of his figure falling from a high altitude, he switched Wrath to Sloth.
Then, in a Drawing Sword posture, a large amount of sword aura condensed within it, and then he collected the scattered Seven Sins weapons back into the Selfless Sword Domain one by one.
Then he teleported to the nearby ground and released an attack at Ottar's side.
"Drawing Sword!"
"BOOM!"
Ottar once again held the Beast Lord's Sword at his side. The sword aura of the Drawing Sword bombarded it, but the other party stood firm.
"BOOM!"
This was Drawing Sword's second stage!
The second stage of Drawing Sword was clearly beyond Ottar's expectations. Ottar, holding the Beast Lord's Sword, took a step back.
The moment Ottar retreated, Liam once again released Thrusting Smash, proactively approaching the other party!
It was just that Ottar quickly slashed out with his heavy sword at Liam.
Liam quickly released a back-step slash. The Sloth in his hand released a large amount of Selfless Sword Aura and continuously collided with the Beast Lord's Sword.
These white sword auras, upon contacting the Beast Lord's Sword, immediately caused it to freeze.
And just at this time, Liam's figure once again released Raging Dragon Slash.
The wild dragon roared. Liam's figure flashed continuously on the ground and in mid-air. In the middle of it, he would even teleport to the vicinity of the surrounding armaments, and then attack Ottar again.
Just as Ottar had not yet reacted, Liam's figure had already arrived at Ottar's side.
"Illusion Sword Dance!"
Liam had switched his weapon to Wrath!
The fiery red golden Zhanmadao continuously released a large number of sword shadows. Three phantoms also appeared around Liam at the same time.
The heavy Zhanmadao brought up a large number of sword shadows, and a scorching sword aura directly enveloped Ottar's entire body.
Liam's ability mechanism had indeed exceeded Ottar's imagination. The other's means were varied, and he actually had the ability to use a large number of weapons at the same time.
Although he had the idea of training Liam, it was clear that the current Liam also had astonishing potential.
Ottar felt that Liam's current potential had not yet been squeezed to the extreme, and there was still a very large room for development.
And so, Ottar's speed increased again. He roared loudly, "Fight!"
The Beast Lord's Sword slashed down at Liam's position. The entire earth was cut open by the exaggerated sword aura, and then a huge gully was plowed in the ground.
Liam's figure quickly retreated, and in the moment Ottar released his slash, he interrupted the release of Illusion Sword Dance.
Then he condensed the shockwave of Illusion Sword Dance on his demonic hand, and after Ottar released his slash, he opened his demonic hand at him.
"Illusion Sword Dance Impact!"
A huge sword net, with an exaggerated range, approached Ottar, forcing Ottar's figure back two or three steps.
...
Allen vs. Ais, Hogni vs. Ryuu, Tsubaki vs. the Flaming Gold Four Warriors.
It was just that Freya also had other high-end combat power, that was Hedin, Heith, and the others.
The core members on Freya's side realized one thing, and that was that the amplification on Ais and the others was definitely only a temporary boost.
Since that was the case, then they just had to stall for time.
Hogni and the others immediately chose to dodge, and while restraining the other party, they tried their best not to engage in a head-on battle.
However, the level suppression still existed. Even while fighting and running, a large number of wounds still appeared on the bodies of Hogni and the others.
It was just that before Ais and the others could breathe a sigh of relief, Heith had already released a healing magic within the battlefield.
The wounds on Hogni and the others' bodies were rapidly recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Tsubaki gritted her teeth and looked at the Flaming Gold Four Warriors. She took out a magic sword from her pocket and released it at them.
Raging flames covered the Flaming Gold Four Warriors. It was just that this attack was defended by their coordinated defense.
Tsubaki switched to a lightning magic sword. Just as she was about to use it, she was approached by the other party.
"So troublesome!"
Tsubaki had been temporarily promoted to Lv6, but she simply couldn't break free from the Flaming Gold Four Warriors.
As for Ais and the others, it was the same. Even if Ais wanted to immediately disengage and go to Heith's position, she was immediately intercepted by Allen.
Allen also understood that no matter how seriously he was injured, it was fine. Anyway, as long as Heith could still heal, then the scales of victory were on their side.
Ais was a little angry, "Get out of the way!"
"How could I possibly listen to you!"
Allen instantly soared into the air. A bolt of lightning from a clear sky fell on the surrounding ground. Then he, driving a thunder chariot, sped towards Ais's side.
In contrast, Ais was chanting at high speed. A green storm coiled around her entire body.
The moment the thunder chariot approached Ais, Ais condensed all her power onto her blade.
"Micro Tempest!"
A strong wind instantly came from all over Ais's body to her blade. Ais's rapier shone with a dazzling light.
The blade and the thunder chariot collided, kicking up a large impact.
Ais's blade pierced through the thunder chariot, and then pierced through Allen's abdomen, passing by the other party.
Allen's figure was sent flying by the storm, and a large amount of blood spurted from the wound.
Heith's healing magic immediately landed on Allen's body. The gruesome wound healed in two or three seconds.
"I see it. Even if the healing is fast, your recovery will also cause a consumption on both you and the healer, right?"
Allen snorted coldly, "So what?"
"Then we'll fight until the healer's magic power is exhausted!"
Ais's figure approached again, her whole body enveloped in a storm.
At this moment, Allen could no longer keep up with Sword Princess Ais's movements.
Not just Allen, but even Hogni was in a state of retreat under Ryuu's attacks.
Multiple wounds appeared all over Hogni's body, and fresh blood dripped from the wounds to the ground.
The pain made Hogni's spirit become abnormally twisted, and the consumption of stamina made him feel a sense of urgency.
At the same time, the enhancement magic on Ais, Ryuu, and Tsubaki disappeared.
