CHAPTER 948: CHAPTER 728: I HAVEN’T USED MAGIC YET

Facing Reveis like this, while deflecting and blocking, although retreating rapidly, Reiger’s posture and steps remained flawless as he finally chanted the incantation.

"[Awaken.]"

The legendary Great Fairy Spirit Wind coiled around Reiger’s body.

"Clang!!!"

Infusing his Fool’s Sword with wind power as well, Reiger suddenly accelerated. In a loud clash of blades, he deflected Reveis’s heavy slash, transformed into a black storm, with one sword strike, sparking countless fireflakes.

"Uh...!"

Caught off guard by Reiger’s sudden counterattack, Reveis nearly lost her grip on the recoiled black greatsword, her body quivering, forcing her to take half a step back.

"Wind Breathing·Sixth Form·Black Wind Smoke!"

Instead of retreating, Reiger advanced, boldly stepping forward and closing the distance with Reveis, as if invading her space, swinging an upward slash aimed at her head.

Sword Qi spread from this slash, making its sharpness extraordinarily frightening.

"...!"

The instinctual alarm that all monsters have roared within Reveis’s mind like a bell tolling, warning her that her body, proud of its hardness that surpassed even the black rhinos of the 51st floor, couldn’t withstand this slash.

If struck by this slash, she would be gravely injured.

Though capable of regeneration and swift recovery from such severe wounds, Reveis wouldn’t naïvely assume Reiger would allow her time to heal.

Thus, Reveis let out a howling protest with eyes wide open in anger.

"Don’t underestimate me!"

After the war cry, Reveis thrust out her fist, which was not holding a sword.

The limbs of a monster are remarkably hard weapons; even a bare-handed attack hit with enough power to rival those from first-grade armed adventurers at the same level.

"Clang!"

The red-haired female monster’s fist met the sharp sword strike imbued with Sword Qi, colliding fiercely with the wind-coated side of the Fool’s Sword.

This clash caused the wind wrapped around the Fool’s Sword to explode, the impact forcefully separating Reiger and Reveis once more, opening the distance between them again.

"Why can you use Alya’s ’wind’...!"

Standing firmly on the ground and stabilizing her form, Reveis shouted.

"Who exactly are you!?"

Reveis leaped up, dashing rapidly in Reiger’s direction, her black greatsword cleaving down from above with mountain-splitting and sea-parting momentum.

"Wind Breath·Fourth Form·Ascending Dust Storm!"

Reiger stood his ground, spinning and slashing his Fool’s Sword, unleashing five Wind Blades that spiraled upward like a tornado, slashing toward Reveis descending from the sky.

"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"

Reveis was neither careless nor retreated; her black greatsword slashed repeatedly, deflecting all incoming five Wind Blades.

"Clang!!!"

By the time Reveis reached Reiger, her black greatsword had already slashed downward, striking the crystal longsword raised again, with a crash as loud as a bell toll, sparking countless fireflakes, while shattering the ground beneath Reiger’s feet.

But this time, Reiger was no longer knocked back or even staggered by Reveis’s monstrous strength, the wind enshrouding him helping to absorb the female monster’s attack power and rebound it, impacting Reveis’s body.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a kick blasted into Reveis’s abdomen.

Reiger, who had blocked one of Reveis’s powerful slashes, abruptly delivered a kick, slamming into Reveis’s body.

This kick was not only swift but also extremely powerful, seemingly waiting for the perfect moment, and it sent Reveis flying like a ball, crashing hard against the wall, cracking the ultra-hard metal wall.

Wrapped in wind, Reiger regained the initiative and advantage in the battle, seizing success while Reveis was mentally off-balance.

"Using hands and feet as weapons is not a privilege exclusive to you monsters."

Reiger said these words without joy or sorrow.

Though specializing in swordsmanship and sword arts, incorporating punches and kicks into combat is also Reiger’s habit.

After all, in his past life, he practiced self-defense, and Wind Breath itself also has aspects related to body techniques.

Just like the astonishing speed and explosive power of Thunder Breath don’t come from the sword, but from the feet, focusing power in the legs and then releasing it in one breath as a breathing technique, Wind Breath also has some special applied techniques that can wrap the wind around the hands and feet, using it as a body technique.

Because of this, most practitioners of Wind Breath are actually very skilled in body techniques.

If not for this, last time in the food storage on the 24th floor, Reiger wouldn’t have mixed the body techniques into his swordsmanship and continuously fought fiercely with Reveis.

"Even though such a thing happened last time, you’ve completely forgotten."

Reiger walked step by step towards Reveis.

"Could it be that the freak, not only out of touch with society and lagging behind on information, even has a degenerated brain?"

This sarcasm was yet another great provocation to Reveis, who outwardly appeared cold but internally was full of pride.

"Damn adventurer..."

Reveis painfully got up, detached from the ultra-hard metal wall that had cracked behind, and glared at Reiger with murderous intent in her eyes.

Just as Reiger raised his eyebrows, intending to rush over and cut down Reveis with a sword, a mournful cry interrupted him.

"Miss Ais!"

This was Rephia’s cry of distress.

Reiger paused, turned his gaze, and looked around.

After seeing this, Reiger found that our side had been pushed to a very dangerous situation by the enemy.

Theona and Theone had both fallen, spitting blood.

Ais was also on the ground, blood at the corner of her mouth.

Rephia and other members of the Loki Familia were struggling to hold on under the fierce attack from the combat prostitutes and female warriors of the battle nation.

Those combat prostitutes were one thing, with the highest estimated level being a long-legged fierce woman wielding a large cleaver at Lv.3, who posed little threat against Rephia and the other second regiment members of the Loki Familia, who were at Lv.4.

But those Amazon female warriors from the battle nation Teleskura were another story.

Among these female warriors, there were quite a few at Lv.4 and even more at Lv.3, and each one was fierce and unafraid of death, as if they had been through countless bloody battles, not fearing enemies stronger than themselves. Even at Lv.3, they would dare to pounce on the second regiment members of the Loki Familia at Lv.4, and even after being knocked down, they would immediately get up again, exuding a vicious aura as if they would bite a piece of flesh off an enemy with their teeth, relentless in charging at the enemy despite being covered in wounds, leaving the members of the Loki Familia shaken, caught off guard by multiple counterattacks.

They held ritual battles in the battle nation day after day, unafraid of death, and not fearing bloodshed.

Such a group of fierce female warriors truly injured an unknown number of Loki Familia members, and if not for the frequent Recovery Magic cast by Rephia and the rear guards, they might have been annihilated.

Ais, Theona, Theone fell.

Rephia and other second regiment members were in danger.

One could say, aside from Reiger, nearly everyone on their side had been crushed by the enemy.

And the fall of the captains caused unimaginable shakes to Rephia and other second regiment members, with defeat and complete annihilation in sight.

"I underestimated you all."

Reiger’s attention was inevitably diverted.

In response...

"I won’t let you pass!"

The red-haired female freak charged over, slicing her sword towards Reiger’s head.

"Your opponent is me!"

In such cold words from Reveis, Reiger narrowly avoided the incoming slash of the black greatsword, his expression remaining calm and composed.

"I think you misunderstood."

In such a situation, Reiger spoke calmly.

"I didn’t mean to go help."

"Do you think we’ve lost?"

"It’s far from over."
