Just as Delmar was about to pick up the Sword of Soulbreaker to examine it, a glint flashed in Alice’s eyes, and the sword returned to her hand.
“Can’t even hold onto your sword?”
Alice heard William’s voice in her ear, but she realized that her body was no longer under her control. At this moment, the ultimate substitute stepped in.
Alice finally relaxed. With William by her side, even if her opponent was the sea god Poseidon, she didn’t feel as frightened.
Delmar hadn’t realized yet that his opponent had changed.
He chuckled, “Little girl, step down. Let William come up. You’re no match for me.”
Alice’s gaze was cold as she asked, “Do you want to test swordsmanship skills, or the secrets sword techniques?”
Delmar laughed heartily, “Your choice! Just bring your strongest strike.”
“Is that so?”
William’s voice reached Alice’s ears again.
“Feel it closely. You need to learn not just from me, but from him too. His swordsmanship is simpler, so it should be easier for you to learn.”
Alice responded to William in her mind.
If anyone else heard what William was saying, they would probably be astounded.
Right, right, right!
So you’re the best!
Even the sword techniques of the sea god Poseidon are like child’s play to you.
Just when everyone thought the duel was over, Alice lunged at Delmar with her sword again.
In the instant she thrust, the previously clear sky suddenly filled with a red glow.
An extraordinary phenomenon appeared in the heavens and earth.
Delmar was momentarily stunned, and the sword almost reached his throat before he barely managed to smack Alice’s Sword of Soulbreaker away with the tree branch.
The secret sword technique Alice used indeed had no effect on him, but what if it had been William instead?
As the branch touched the body of the Sword of Soulbreaker, merely grazing the flat side and not the edge, it instantly turned to dust.
The wooden sword was now pointing at Delmar’s throat, just an inch away.
Cold sweat rolled down Delmar’s forehead.
He had no doubt that Alice’s strike could have been lethal.
Delmar even had an illusion.
Could this sword obliterate his divine soul?
“That sword is not right!” Delmar’s eyes were fixed intently on the wooden sword in Alice’s hand.
There was definitely something off about that sword!
Alice mocked, “You’re not suggesting that my sword is a divine weapon, are you?”
From outside the arena, Zoey shouted, “Delmar, her sword has a Sword Spirit, it’s extremely powerful.”
William almost forgot that Zoey had seen the Sword Spirit of the Sword of Soulbreaker.
Delmar then said, “I knew something was off…”
But as he spoke, he felt even more that something was amiss.
Even if Alice was incredibly strong, she was still just an advanced level Soulmancer. Even with a divine sword, could she unleash the kind of power displayed in that secret sword technique?
It wasn’t about the sword at all!
The secret sword technique wasn’t about what sword she was wielding.
“Do you want to continue?” William, controlling Alice’s body, asked, “If you think there’s a problem with the sword, we can both switch to different swords and duel again.”
Delmar could accept being defeated by William, but he absolutely could not accept being defeated by Alice, an advanced level Soulmancer.
Even if her future prospects were boundless, at least for now, she was still pathetically weak!
“Again!” Delmar’s brow furrowed, and the aura around him underwent a drastic change.
This time, he was serious. He wanted to see what this young girl was truly capable of.
The aura of Poseidon’s divine soul surged, leaving everyone around feeling an unprecedented suffocation.
Even Moros, who had been cheerfully watching the battle, suddenly changed his expression.
This aura was so familiar!!
He frowned, thinking hard, and finally remembered whose aura it was!
“Despicable, shameless Poseidon!! To think you dared deceive me!”
Moros, furious, had already sealed the surrounding space.
Delmar noticed the anomaly in the surrounding space and his mouth twitched violently.
Bad news! He had been found out!
In his excitement, he had forgotten that Moros was watching.
He was doomed! He had really messed up this time.
Moros, with his control over spatial laws, was not someone his mere incarnation could defeat.
It was just a pity that he hadn’t managed to steal Moros’s spatial law powers yet.
The witchcraft he had learned these past days was something Delmar actually looked down upon.
At this moment, William glanced at Moros. Moros shivered and turned to look at William.
He quickly understood that William must have known Delmar’s identity all along, but since William hadn’t said anything, it meant he tacitly allowed Delmar’s actions.
If he now killed Delmar, would William get angry?
Thinking this, Moros withdrew his power.
But he glared at Delmar with gritted teeth!
Delmar could clearly feel the fluctuations of the spatial powers around him. Moros had actually stopped targeting him.
Never mind that for now, at worst it’s just death.
Just an incarnation, if he died, so be it. It wasn’t a big deal. He might as well have this duel before his demise.
He stretched out his hand, and a longsword suitable for two-handed use fell into his grasp from outside the arena, pointing at Alice: “You don’t need to change swords!”
William certainly hadn’t forgotten how Delmar had mocked Alice just moments ago. .
Alice curled her lips into a scornful smile, “I wouldn’t want you to accuse me of bullying you.”
With that, she sheathed the Sword of Soulbreaker, and a tree branch, still adorned with fresh green leaves, landed in her hand.
Delmar’s face darkened. Although he was an incarnation of a deity, Poseidon himself was known for his quick temper.
An advanced level Soulmancer, mocking him using the same method he had just used?
Throwing back his own words and actions at him.
The key question was, if she was always this strong, then what was the deal with her first strike?
Was she deliberately showing weakness to lower his guard?
“Hmph! Little girl, I won’t hold back this time!” Delmar coldly huffed, raising the two-handed sword in his hand.
The red glow in the sky dispersed, replaced by purple lightning and a downpour of rain.
Looking up, the sky was filled with purple lightning accompanied by heavy rain, and the sound of thunder was incessant.
Garen, standing aside, was petrified.
What kind of sword technique was this?
A sword can simplify complexity, focusing power into a single strike.
But Delmar’s strike wasn’t deliberately summoning the storm,it was a natural phenomenon caused by his sword move.
Although Alice couldn’t control her own body, she could see everything happening in front of her.
“It’s over! He’s angry now.” Alice was nearly panicking internally. The sea god Poseidon angry – what did that mean?
“Why panic? Just feel his strike. This is a god-slaying strike. Most who have seen it are dead. You get to learn from it, so cherish it,” William said, controlling Alice’s body, holding just a small tree branch, showing no intention to fight.
It was like in a video game, where the opponent’s special move is charging up, but he kept pressing the taunt button.
“How can I learn from this?”
Alice was on the verge of breakdown. A god-slaying strike? It sounded incredibly powerful. 𝑖𝘦.𝒸𝘰𝑚
William, seemingly indifferent, watched Delmar and said to Alice, “Calm down, you can comprehend it.”
