The Crimson Flame Swords turned into a golden flame, and in the next second, Alton appeared in front of Tang Shaoyang. The concept was similar to blink, so Tang Shaoyang did not see it coming.
Tang Shaoyang was caught off guard for a moment, but he quickly reacted. He activated his [Chaos Fire]. The black flame discharged from his palm, swirling into his battle-ax. At the same time, he channeled his Slayer Energy into his battle-ax as well. He then brought his battle-ax upward, clashing against Alton's golden flame sword.
Boom!
The golden flame and the black flame clashed. The two different fires collided and spread out. At the same time, a figure was pushed back from the fire. Alton looked at the collision between the two fires in shock. He did not think that he would be forced back with that clash.. He was sure that the young man was caught unprepared with his attack, but he still lost from the clash even after that.
'So he is testing me.' Alton squinted his eyes. This was the weird fight he had for years as he felt his opponent was getting stronger and stronger each time he tried to do something. "Let's try it once again."
"Pyrolis Sword Technique: Fourth Blazing Sword, Blooming Flame!" Hundreds of golden flame swords formed around the explosion, creating a blooming flower with all the tip swords aimed at the explosion. Alton then slashed his sword downward, then the hundreds of golden flame swords moved into the core of the explosion, where Tang Shaoyang was.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The golden flame swords burst out, creating another stormy flame amidst the explosion. The fire spread wildly, forcing the others to retreat from the battlefield, leaving Tang Shaoyang and Alton alone. Even Allan was forced to retreat under Bronson's pursuit.
Of course, as the two leaders fought, the Beast Coven also attacked Tang Shaoyang's force. The war between the two forces broke out soon after they got separated from the leaders.
Alton stood motionlessly on the spot, staring at the explosion. He hoped his attack did something to Tang Shaoyang. As the flame calmed down, he saw a figure standing in the center of the blazing black flame. He observed the figure and realized that all his attacks were futile. He did not even see a scratch or burned mark on the black scale from all the attacks he launched.
"I see since the skill does not work, what about this one." Alton rushed toward Tang Shaoyang. He recalled that he won the close combat, so he might as well fight Tang Shaoyang closely.
Tang Shaoyang also realized that even his [Chaos Fire] did not work on Alton. While [Chaos Fire] blocked the golden flame, it could not be used to attack Alton as the golden flame also neutralized his black flame.
Looking at the incoming Alton, Tang Shaoyang swung his battle-ax horizontally as Alton pushed his shield forward. He imbued Slayer Energy in his battle-ax before he swung it toward Alton.
Dang!
Alton's flame shield blocked the attack, but his hand was shaking from the impact. The old knight then used his skill, [Flame Charge], and the fire suddenly blazed and pushed him forward, forcing Tang Shaoyang to retreat.
"I see, it's working." Alton realized that close combat was truly effective against Tang Shaoyang, and he did not give Tang Shaoyang time to recover as he launched himself forward. He stabbed the flame sword toward Tang Shaoyang's chest.
Instead of blocking or dodging, Tang Shaoyang cast a movement skill, [Volant Step]. He maneuvered in the air, avoiding the stab and bringing the Dragon Destroyer downward toward Alton. Alton did the same; he spun in the air and launched a spinning kick toward Tang Shaoyang's waist. Alton was faster as his kick landed first.
Tang Shaoyang grunted in pain as his body flew to the side. Shortly after that, he regained his footing with [Sky Walk]. By the time he regained his footing, Alton was right in front of him with his sword ready to cut his neck. Tang Shaoyang opened his mouth and activated his skill, [Fire Breath].
He spewed the black flame toward Alton's face. However, Alton expected the counter as his body maneuvered to the side. The [Fire Breath] backfired as he lost sight of Alton. If not for [Spirit Eyes], he would not notice the old knight moved to the side instead of retreating.
Tang Shaoyang pushed his body backward to avoid the sword, but he was a second late. The sword grazed toward his forehead, cutting through the dragon scale. It was not a deep cut, but that was Alton's win. Blood trickled down from his forehead toward his eyes.
At the same time, Zaneos was watching the fight closely as he was integrating into Tang Shaoyang. He could do nothing but observe the battle from the sideline. He did not expect that The old knight would corner Lord Tang Shaoyang. 'What Zara said was true, not all Legend Ranks are the same. But Lord Tang Shaoyang should win the fight if he uses [True Dragon]....'
However, Zaneos soon read his Master's thoughts. The Demon Swordsman realized that his Master did not have an intention to use [True Dragon]. He could sense the excitement from his Lord even though he was being cornered. Yes, the fact that he was in a disadvantageous position only excited His Master more.
It was not that he did not understand the excitement, but he felt this was not the right time for this. Alton could kill His Master if this continued. As the fight continued, Alton kept pushing his Master back with the unexpected maneuver. Of course, Zaneos could tell His Master about Alton's movement, but it might not be effective because Alton might hit His Master first by the time he told His Master where the attack would come from.
As the fight continued, Tang Shaoyang suffered many cuts. His chest, shoulder, hand, and even on his neck.
'If only I can transfer my vision….' Zaneos then found out a trick that might help his Master. He could enter into his Master's thoughts when he was integrating with his Master, and maybe he could share his experiences and vision with his Master.
—Master, I might have a way to help you in this fight. Please don't resist, and I will start transferring my experiences and vision with you.
Tang Shaoyang did not know what Zaneos talked about, but he nodded, indicating he agreed to do what Zaneos wanted to do. At the same time, Tang Shaoyang was having a hard time against Alton. As the battle continued, the thing he could do was dodging the old man's flame sword. He could not even launch a counter as the battle continued.
Alton summoned seven flame swords around him. As he thrust his sword forward, the seven flame swords also launched toward seven parts of Tang Shaoyang's body.
Tang Shaoyang held the battle-ax in the middle and spun the battle-ax, blocking all the attacks. The flame swords dissolved into a normal flame, and he reflected Alton's sword simultaneously.
"Huh!?" At the same time, Tang Shaoyang saw something strange. He could see four overlapping Alton's images that went into four different directions. He was quick with the reaction and leaped back. It was bizarre, and he did not want to take the risk to face that.
'Was that Alton's skill?' Tang Shaoyang speculated that it was Alton's skill. The overlapping images confused him for sure.
—It is not, but that's my vision. It's similar to an ability to read the future like Lady Mengyao, but I get this vision after countless years of fighting on the battlefield. It started with my instinct to read the enemy's movement, but it later evolved into this vision. I got back this ability after the advancement to Grade SS Spirit.
Zaneos immediately explained to Tang Shaoyang. He did not think this would work, and he realized that integration was not just about attributes and skill, but they could share their experiences and innate ability for his Master to use.
'Huh? But shouldn't I get the skill after integrating with you? Why does it appear right now?' Tang Shaoyang's thought it was a passive skill. If it was a skill, he should learn the skill after he integrated with the Demon Swordsman.
—I don't know, but that's not a skill, My Lord. It's my innate ability that is born from my sword technique. I think the System does not take that as a skill, so we don't share it unless I transfer it to you? I am not clear too, but I think it's not the time to talk about this, My Lord.
Sure enough, Alton was coming for him. The old knight rushed in a straight line toward him. There was no overlapping image this time. However, as soon as he raised his vision, the overlapping images appeared. There were six of them, including the real Alton.
Tang Shaoyang was not used yet with this vision. He then swung his battle-ax horizontally. At the same time, he activated [Invisible Slash]. When he executed the move, the overlapping images were reduced from five to two. That meant Alton would move toward these two directions.
In the first overlapping image, the old man would move to his right and cast the flaming shield charge toward him. In the second overlapping image, the old man would move to his lift and slash the sword to his neck.
However, Tang Shaoyang was aware that Alton would fail to do so because of his [Invisible Slash]. Either way, Alton would be hit with the invisible blade that formed through the skill. Sure enough, the invisible blade struck Alton's belly and sent him flying backward.
