Chapter 1075: Chapter 525: Elaphia Advancing (2)

Unable to undergo Formal Liberation, lacking Conceptual Skills, it only needs the extra effect of Attack Enhancement to achieve the goal with its form and material combination.

Since the opponent uses a Chain Blade, after Elaphia was forbidden from using Blade Master abilities, her attack speed and position are definitely inferior to the opponent’s, thus the strategy chosen is defensive counterattack.

As long as she isn’t struck by the powerful, unpredictably positioned Chain Blade, she can find a moment to counterattack. Because attack and defense don’t occur simultaneously, Li Ang didn’t separately create a sword and shield, but merged the two.

This doesn’t conform to conventional weapon crafting ideas, but after discussing with Elaphia, Blondie Douding agreed readily.

And when the weapon was completed, her simple use of it convinced Li Ang that she could certainly make the most of it. Maybe only she could grasp it so quickly.

Elaphia grasped the hilt, the Flying Blade beneath her decomposed, as she held the Giant Sword aloft through Magic Power, suspended without falling.

"What is this?"

The crowd glanced at her twice, immediately realizing this was different from the past.

Though powerful individuals can float temporarily using Magic Power, this cannot be used in combat. To displace in the air during a fight, one must possess corresponding Professional Skills or potent Equipment.

Elaphia’s main flight method relied on mastering the Flying Blade, otherwise there was no need to step on it continuously, but now she can levitate without a weapon and still hold a heavy weapon.

"Perhaps it’s because her mastery over Magic Power is enough to intercept the Law; now, her control surpasses the limits of the Excellence Realm."

While speaking, Elaphia raised the Shield and Sword, her arm applied force and suddenly slashed downward, then her body rotated along with the Giant Sword.

This move had been used previously by both Urbian and her last opponent Faneya; being of the same Weapon Race, the blond young girl would surely employ it. Definitely, it’s a common attack method their race uses to compensate for their stature.

Only her physique previously couldn’t wield this move with significant force.

After stepping halfway into Legendary, what she lacked could be aided by Magic Power that surpassed the Excellence Realm, beginning to involve the Law; this Magic Power’s interference with the Material World is quite brute and efficient.

One slash transformed into blade wheels, Aifei stopped the momentum to turn and horizontally slash, and the Sharp Blade swept through, without returning but with her body following its spin, continuing to launch an upward strike in the air.

In a short time, she executed a series of smooth and rapid slashes, just by watching, without confronting an enemy, it was clear that her close combat skills were far beyond before.

Even while performing these movements, her Dark Gold Skirt danced, she seemed to waltz in the air, the weapon’s sternness and the blond young girl’s beauty, two conflicting elements integrated, giving a feeling as if she transformed into another kind of being.

Li Ang felt her Magic Power floating state akin to when he activated "Law Enforcer"; this move from Law Protection also released fierce Magic Power for himself to levitate, perhaps because both involve higher-layered Magic Power utilization.

After showcasing the advancements from this brief journey, everyone returned to the Alaphia Family, resuming their previous lifestyle.

Li Ang planned to wait until she finished this round at the end of November before leaving; hence, the remaining days were spent continuously crafting weapons to accumulate artisan experience, in such a situation where materials are inexhaustible and without bothersome distractions.

To advance from Tier Eight to Tier Nine Artisan requires 75,000 experience points, but continuously forging Tier Eight Equipment added considerable experience, and by the last day, he roughly completed a quarter of the progression.

An interlude was that Elaphia personally reviewed every piece of his workmanship, sieving, judging, and then adding some that she considered admirable into her Armory without a second thought.

As for the remainder, they could actually fetch a high price, and at this point, Farlonio would approach with a wide grin to negotiate terms for acquisition.

A peaceful and regular lifestyle passed like this; before the Martial Extreme Trial began, news arrived from the elders of the Weapon Race.

"In order to showcase more of our race’s power to the world, the final battle of the Martial Extreme Trial and the ceremony to select the Martial Extreme champion will open to exceptional Sky Knights and various aristocrats," the herald said.

After he left, Farlonio frowned: "Unsure what trick those old folks are conjuring again."

"It’s not really a scheme; merely wanting to mimic me to gain benefits from outside yet they haven’t even grasped contemporary rules. This path isn’t easy," Elaphia evaluated.

There’s another message that arrived at the Alma Family.

This is a message from the Guild.

Previously, a series of actions targeting the Empire, including the campaign in the City of the Ship’s Rudder, were within the entire war against the Empire. Now, unable to locate the hub, the Guild decided to make a phase summary and prepare for the next phase’s core position search, so the Knight Resolution Council will convene again.

Moreover, this time, there’s a segment to judge those Imperial war criminals and the fiends aiding them in creating calamities.

This matter is quite related to Li Ang because the victory at the City of the Ship’s Rudder and the Empire’s alarming Destruction Battleship bring the Guild’s attention to the trial of the critical offender Rams Moningson; Li Ang and a series of related individuals were all invited to participate.
