Chapter 2079 The Same Trick

[Internal organ damage X Deadly execution]

This is Blaze's own understanding of [Fatal Execution]. As a passive skill, [Fatal Execution] is always active and can turn a trivial scratch into fatal damage.

The issue with "fatal execution" isn't whether it's strong or not, but that it's "fatal." But that's precisely the problem: most creatures have a natural ability to avoid "fatal" things, seeking advantage and avoiding harm.

Monsters below him naturally wouldn't feel this deadly aura, since he could kill them with a single sword strike regardless of whether he used the "Fatal Execution" technique. However, monsters that he couldn't kill with a single strike and those who had the ability to maneuver around him would constantly feel this deadly aura and try to avoid it.

In the world-class challenge of the Sun Parade, he needs to carry Amaterasu from the first level of the Twelve Nights Kingdom, the River of Ra, all the way to the twelfth level, and pass through the Gate of Resurrection. During this process, he will be attacked by countless monsters from the dark world.

Those powerful monsters were all killed instantly by him with [Fatal Execution], but only a small portion were ended by him triggering [Fatal Execution] with a slash, because they could sense the deadly threat from the blade he swung.

Conversely, the monsters of the dark world were not well-prepared for his punches and were all hit by the combination of [internal organ critical strike x fatal execution].

Blazer's personal conclusion is that living things have an instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, and will avoid deadly threats, but if a deadly threat goes around in circles, they will not be able to sense it.

A slash or cut triggers [Fatal Execution] and results in death, while the combination of [Internal Organ Critical Hit X Fatal Execution] adds an extra [Internal Organ Critical Hit] step. Internal organ injuries are really nothing to high-level monsters; as long as they are not completely shattered, they can recover thanks to their own strong vitality.

But even such a minor internal injury can trigger [Fatal Execution], resulting in immediate death.

Blaze isn't particularly particular about [fatal execution], and he certainly wouldn't use it in sparring, but he wouldn't shy away from it in a life-or-death battle.

Facing Leo Kane, his only concession was to use Gungnir, a weapon that sealed Leo Kane's fate without resorting to unrelated powers. Had Leo Kane not behaved with such integrity, he probably would have thrown Gungnir as soon as he noticed Leo Kane approaching, thus quickly resolving the situation.

Moreover... he didn't believe that the combination of [internal organ damage x fatal execution] could solve Leo Kane's problem.

Just as Blaze's fist was about to land on Leo Kane's side, striking his liver, Leo Kane released his battle axe and, as if to trade blows, punched Blaze in the head.

boom--

The two forces collided, and the wind pressure swept away the surrounding dust. The Greenland pupils of the audience contracted slightly, because it was Blaze who was knocked back.

But this is not particularly unbelievable. It is an advantage brought by body size. Larger individuals not only have higher strength, but also longer limbs and, most importantly, more vital areas.

Leo Kane is five meters tall, which allows him to perfectly utilize his physical advantages without affecting his [skills]. Blaze, who is less than half the height of Leo Kane, would make completely different movements when trying to hit Leo Kane in the abdomen compared to actually hitting her in the abdomen.

One requires stretching the body with all one's might, exposing the entire body, while the other is much more casual. It's obvious which movement has a greater flaw.

The difference in physique is not a problem for Blaze, because Blaze has the Silver Worgen transformation, which increases his height to over three meters.

What shocked Greenland was Leo Kane's counterattack against Blaze. Although the movements were different, there was something about them that was charming. Leo Kane's movements had similarities to Blaze's fighting skills, Pankrasin.

Pankrasine, a rather famous martial art, is based on ancient Greek techniques. Here, it refers to the science-based combination fighting skills possessed by the sage Chiron. Leaving aside the learning requirements, the difficulty is top-notch. It requires a significant investment of time and repetitive practice to accumulate proficiency. It takes at least a year to fully master all the moves before one can officially acquire Pankrasine.

To date, no player has unlocked the Pankrasin set. Even including NPCs, only the researchers Chiron and Blaze are known to possess this skill set.

But just now, Leo Kane made a move similar to the Pankrasin.

This description is somewhat inaccurate, because Leo Kane had no opportunity to come into contact with Chiron and Blaze, and today was their first meeting. There was no reason for him to perform the Pankrasin move, especially since the Pankrasin tutorial involves power generation techniques.

There is only one reasonable answer: Leo Kane's actions were self-intuitive, yet they miraculously resembled those of Pankrasen.

The feeling of facing Leo Kane head-on was even stronger than that of Greenland, and he was also wearing the Eye of Athena, within which Jasmine had already analyzed Leo Kane's movements.

The similarity is 65%.

This number is quite subtle; it seems to be, yet it doesn't.

However, if we also take into account the derivative moves of the [All Eighty-Eight Stars] that he currently possesses, the similarity is 85%.

Leo Kane's moves are a combination of the basic move "Pancrass" and the derived move "All Eighty-Eight Stars".

"How is this going?"

Blaze frowned slightly, but he wasn't flustered. Pankrasen wasn't a technique only he could learn; Chiron would teach it to anyone as long as the conditions were met and the learning progress was achieved.

The problem lies in the derivative moves of the "All Eighty-Eight Constellations." Chiron also has tutorials for derivative moves, but after observing the Great Constellations, he developed his own version of derivative moves based on his personal insights. This is how Leo Kane learned them.

Is it really possible for such a coincidence to happen in the world?
Blaze took another step back, creating distance, and then bursts of sound emanated from his body. His body suddenly swelled and grew larger, with silver-white fur spreading from his head to his entire body. His equipment also began to transform as his body expanded.

[Human Armor: Solar Eclipse Armor - Beast Armor: Lunar Eclipse Armor]

The white armor was stretched open along the lines, revealing the black lining underneath. The Hermes Walker armor on the legs was separated and fastened to the knees and ankles. The Poseidon Abyss armor on the arms transformed and de-covered itself, replaced by an exoskeleton-like attachment.

The Eye of Athena on the head has been transformed to match the structure of the wolf's head.

Blazer twisted his neck, his eyes fixed on Leo Kane.

If you want to know the answer, there's only one way: fight.
