Chapter 155: Mastery of Infinity Sword Forms
The Silent Sword Valley trembled under the Dragon King's presence.
Shen stood at the center, Sword of Infinity in hand, its black-crimson aura flaring like molten shadow. Every rune along the blade pulsed with his divine, demonic, and dragon-infused power. The air thickened; even the mountains seemed to bend toward him.
He inhaled slowly. The engraving inside him thrummed. Now was the moment.
Shen's movements became fluid, yet impossibly precise. Each step, each swing, was a form—a technique drawn from his mastery of the Infinity Sword.
Form One: Heaven's Cleave
Shen's sword arced, cutting through the Dragon King's shadow clones. The strike bent space slightly, leaving a visible streak of black-red energy that seared the ground and shattered stone. The Dragon King faltered, wings slicing air but failing to connect.
Form Two: Void Reversal
Spinning midair, Shen sent a shockwave of energy that distorted reality around him. The Dragon King's wings were clipped. Its tail swiped blindly, missing by inches. Rocks flew in all directions, yet Shen moved like light, untouchable.
Form Three: Crimson Eclipse
The Sword of Infinity absorbed residual energy—dragon blood, curse remnants, divine aura—and condensed it into one massive strike. The Dragon King's scales cracked, glowing with an unnatural light. It roared, shaking the valley, but could not escape the strike's precision.
Sael and the knights flowed in perfect synchronization.
Sael unleashed Rising Star Thrust, striking exposed flanks.
A knight executed Dragon Fang Sweep, targeting claws and wings.
Another performed Twin Serpent Riposte, slicing through spectral echoes and residual energy.
Shen's forms continued. Each technique built upon the last, flowing seamlessly:
Form Four: Shadow Piercer—slices through defenses, leaving trails of shadow energy.
Form Five: Infinite Spiral—a whirling strike that spins energy around the enemy, forcing the Dragon King to stagger.
Form Six: God-Devour Strike—the Sword of Infinity absorbs hostile energy and releases it amplified, hitting the Dragon King's core.
The valley shook. Dust rose in waves. The Dragon King staggered, massive form faltering under the relentless combination of forms, Demonic Sword absorption, and Twin Blade precision attacks.
Even as it struggled, a faint aura stirred in the Dragon King—a hidden form, a latent power awakened by the Infinity Sword.
Shen's eyes narrowed. Calm, unwavering, yet sharp.
"This is only the beginning," he murmured.
"Every form, every strike… brings us closer to the ultimate battle."
The valley hummed, responding to the sword forms. Stones quivered, shadows shifted, and even the distant peaks seemed to lean closer, watching the dance of the Infinity Sword.
Shen's mastery of the forms had awakened not only the Dragon King but also the latent potential of the valley itself.
The fight had escalated from survival to a war of will, power, and precision.
And Shen was ready to push further.
