Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1961 Duel
Having grown up together, the two had naturally sparred many times before, and he knew Wright's courtly swordsmanship all too well.

If I make the first move, and Wright finds an opening, I will be countered instantly and fall into a disadvantageous position.

Knowing this, Eredar immediately adopted a defensive stance.

During this time, seeing that Wright also had no intention of making any rash moves, Ereda calmly and deliberately provoked him...

"What? Aren't you going to make a move? If you keep waiting like this, my Hydra is getting impatient."

Almost at the same time that Ereda finished speaking, the Hydra in the distance roared furiously, greatly increasing the pressure on Wright.

Yes, the threat we face isn't just the Eredar, but also the Hydra.

The combined efforts of the elven mage squad and the elven archers can indeed suppress the Hydra to some extent, but whether they can defeat it is still uncertain.

The safest course of action would be to deal with the Eredar first, and then deal with the Hydra.

With that thought in mind, Wright no longer hesitated, leaped forward, and charged at full speed.

Upon noticing Wright's actions, Eredar, who had been in a defensive stance the entire time, immediately followed suit. The moment their weapons clashed, one was blue and the other was black, and two astonishing energies erupted directly from their bodies.

Centered on Wright and Eredar, two terrifying energy fields quickly formed.

One was sky blue, as if surrounded by a gale, and you could even hear the howling of the wind.

One was a deep, dark black, like a black abyss, exuding a chilling stillness.

The two energy fields collided and squeezed each other frantically, trying to crush the other completely.

In an instant, the surrounding land was completely crushed by the two frantically squeezing energy fields.

Without a doubt, these are two martial artists who have reached the Realm of Martial Arts!
“You have become stronger, Eredar.”

"You haven't changed a bit, Wright!"

As she shouted, Eredar swung her thorny greatsword, blocking Wright's attack and launching a counterattack.

Realizing that things couldn't continue like this, Wright's expression turned cold, and energy surged from the twin swords in his hands.

In an instant, the blade of one of the swords was engulfed in crimson flames, while the other sword was entangled in howling winds.

The Elf King's twin swords of wind and fire have only revealed their true form at this moment!
The next second, the Flame Spirit Sword was suddenly swung out, and with a muffled 'boom', a wave of high-temperature flames swept towards Eredar.

Immediately following, with Wright's smooth, waltz-like steps, the Wind Spirit Sword in his other hand caught up with an even more astonishing slashing speed.

[Wind Slash!]

The True Word Battle Technique erupted, and a sky-blue slash, like a raging storm, flew out along the blade of the Wind Spirit Sword.

This 'Wind Slash' was extremely fast, like a whirlwind passing by, arriving first despite being launched later, and directly catching up with the Flame Wave Slash that had flown out earlier.

In an instant, wind and fire intertwined! The two slashes merged into one, transforming into an even more terrifying attack!
Meanwhile, Ereda, who already knew what Wright was going to do as soon as he made his move, looked serious.

Not daring to be careless in the slightest, dense dark energy rapidly overflowed from the thorny greatsword in his hand, and he unleashed it at the precise moment!
[Dark Devouring Slash!!!]

At that moment, a black slash, seemingly formed from boundless darkness, flew out from the sword's edge. In the blink of an eye, the two slashes collided with lightning speed, unleashing an even more terrifying energy shock that spread outwards.

Even the Hydra, which had been standing not far away, subconsciously retreated a distance, afraid of being drawn into the battle between the two.

Amidst the raging energy storm, Wright moved with lightning speed, wielding twin swords of wind and fire, and had already reached Eredar's side.

Their fighting styles are completely opposite.

Eredar wielded his greatsword, employing a powerful and overwhelming attack.

Wright, on the other hand, moved swiftly, using his fast sword to decide the outcome!

In a one-on-one duel, normally Wright's fast sword would undoubtedly have the advantage.

But Ereda knew him too well. He knew Wright's moves inside and out. Every time Wright launched a fierce attack, Ereda, wielding his relatively cumbersome thorn greatsword, was always able to deflect the attack and launch a threatening counterattack.

Wright was clearly aware of this as well, but a person's fighting style, or even their moves, cannot be changed so easily.

Especially in a duel with a strong opponent of the same level, the slightest mistake could result in one's own death, let alone temporarily changing one's fighting style and moves, which is no different from courting death.

In the midst of the fierce battle, Wright attacked with his twin swords. Although the Flame Spirit Sword and the Wind Spirit Sword were a pair, they were actually made of different materials, not to mention their enchanted attributes.

Wright is a wind-attribute individual, and his fire attacks are not due to his own abilities but entirely to the enchantment of the Flame Spirit Sword.

The forces of wind and fire can complement each other, with the Wind Spirit Sword as the primary sword and the Flame Spirit Sword as the secondary sword.

Under this premise, the different material enchantments also determine that the attacks of the two swords are not the same, and can even be said to be completely different.

The Wind Spirit Sword is lighter and faster, while the Flame Spirit Sword is more powerful and fierce.

As Wright swung both swords with the same force and speed, it was clear that the Wind Spirit Sword was faster, while the Flame Spirit Sword was a beat slower.

Simply put, these swords come with a built-in speed control! Wright doesn't even need to consciously control them; as long as he swings them normally, the speed control effect will naturally occur.

The way the two swords are wielded, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, is the most unpredictable thing. Anyone who comes here will have their rhythm disrupted if they are not careful.

Eredar was well aware of this characteristic of the Wind and Fire Twin Swords. More than three hundred years ago, he was utterly defeated by the speed of these twin swords and was left with a wound that was almost fatal.

Now, more than three hundred years have passed since that battle. During these three hundred years, he has been diligently cultivating and constantly simulating and rehearsing the battle with Wright in his mind.

At the same time, he had his subordinates practice against him using both fast and slow sword techniques.

However, this training model is not very effective because the skill gap between the subordinates and the trainees is too large.

Now, facing Wright again, even though she knows his moves inside and out, Ereda still feels the pressure.

However, Eredar was not in a hurry. Up to this point, everything was still within his expectations. His goal was to prolong the battle.

Because he knew very well that his most obvious advantage over Wright was his superior physical fitness and strength!

In other words, as the battle continues, his advantage will become greater and greater!
