Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 417: Swordsman's Life and Death Battle (Blood Blade)

Millicent held the long sword tightly in her prosthetic hand and swung it left and right to block the bloody blade splashing in front of her.

With a flash of silver-white knife light, several sword energies flew, and the long knife in his hand immediately broke through the intensive attack.

The curved long sword rubbed against the double-edged sword like flowing water, pointing straight to Eleonora's throat, intending to chop off her head.

Eleonora also reacted extremely quickly and simply switched to attack instead of defense.

She also desperately swung the double-edged knife at Millicent's body, trying to cut her in half.

The two men attacked with thunderous moves as if they were going to die together, but at the last moment they both dodged with nimble movements like dancing, only inflicting a light injury on each other.

Their goal is to kill each other, not to die together.

Millicent spun around, raised her knife, and blocked the double-edged sword's sharp edge.

Millicent had no time to care about the scar on her body. She could only grit her teeth and persevere, struggling to cope with the continuous attacks.

Because if we don't do this, it won't just be a matter of getting hurt, but our lives will be taken away instantly.

Such high-intensity combat gradually made her feel overwhelmed.

Even though her abundant power allowed her to draw strength from her enemies, this time her opponent was not a blood bag.

Eleonora herself was powerful and skilled with a sword, and her skills were not significantly inferior to her own.

The opponent, who was an excellent swordsman, knew how to evade the slight advantage brought by that little bit of skill.

But it was precisely because of this that Millicent gritted her teeth and persevered, taking this urgent pressure as a step for her growth.

This is a staircase that you cannot stop once you set foot on it. Failure to reach the top means destruction.

It could be said that the two of them don't get along very well, with Eleonora being the most difficult type for Millicent to deal with in battle.

Or maybe it could be said that the two of them were just so compatible that they were completely on the same track.

It is precisely because of this same road that the gap becomes extremely obvious and we can clearly see the superiority.

Rather, Millicent herself was surprised that she could do this.

But just when Millicent thought she could continue to hold the situation back, the long tug of war finally stopped.

Eleonora was the first to run out of patience, and Bai Shi's arrival made her ready to end the battle.

Although she didn't know who Bai Shi was, there was a new person in the church, and it was obvious that he was not in the same group as her.

Then you can no longer enjoy the battle, in case the battle continues and you encounter unexpected events.

After dealing with her current opponent, Eleonora would run away and continue to study martial arts in a place where no one could find her.

So at this moment, Eleonora, who had the upper hand, suddenly distanced herself.

This action was not intended to give Millicent a chance to breathe, but was intended to take her life.

Millicent didn't know what was going on, but she realized that something was wrong and knew that she couldn't let the other party act.

So Millicent followed her instincts and chased after him, trying to disrupt the operation.

The red Holy Seal of the Dragon Feast on the back of Eleonora's hand glowed blood red, and a huge phantom of a flying dragon's head immediately appeared in front of her, biting Millicent in front of her.

Once it hits, the bloody mouth will be able to swallow Millicent and the knife together.

Millicent reacted instantly, and decisively jumped backwards, leaping several meters.

A deep pit with smooth edges has appeared where I was standing just now.

Millicent gasped and looked towards Eleonora's figure.

After seeing the other party's actions clearly, Millicent's heart sank and her breathing became stagnant.

Gripping the bloody double-edged sword tightly in her hand, Eleonora truly unleashed her unique fighting skill - Blood Blade Dance - for the first time in her battle with Millicent.

The power of Blood Blade Frenzy is amazing, but it takes some time to prepare.

In an instant, Millicent felt a strange sense of oppression all over her body.

Her attention was instantly drawn to Eleonora's double-headed sword, and she was completely unable to look away.

The black and red double-edged sword was now scarlet as if blood was dripping from it...

No, it’s not as if, it’s really happening.

Cursed blood dripped from Eleonora's double-headed sword, spreading out little by little and turning into blood mist.

The blood mist gradually became thicker, dissolving Eleonora's figure, making it impossible to see her figure clearly.

Millicent gripped the long knife tightly, and beads of sweat gradually appeared on her forehead due to the pressure.

She realized that this was Eleonora's famous move, Blood Blade Dance.

In the battle between Eleonora and Yura just now, she had witnessed the terrifying and sharp sword dance.

The situation at this time seemed to be different from before. There was inexplicable blood mist and I didn't know what was going on.

To be honest, Millicent didn't have the confidence that she could handle that move easily.

At this moment, the psychological pressure that Eleonora deliberately created continued to oppress her confidence.

Just when Millicent's momentum was slowly fading, a terrifying dragon roar suddenly came from the blood mist. The sound wave suddenly shattered the blood mist, and the air wave swept around.

Millicent's heart was trembling, her eardrums were stinging, her body subconsciously stiffened, and she was almost blown away by the shock wave.

However, at this moment, Eleonora's figure immediately rushed out wrapped in blood mist and rushed towards Millicent at a rapid speed.

The distance of more than ten meters between the two people was not a distance at all for warriors of their type, and it was crossed in an instant.

Millicent dragged her numb body to dodge, but Eleonora's double-headed knife followed her like a shadow, sticking close to her body.

Eleonora's double-edged sword danced like a whirlwind, making it impenetrable.

Her figure swirled and swayed, the soil under her feet was blown away, and the weeds were blown away and uprooted by the air waves.

For the first time, a look of panic appeared on Millicent's face, and she dodged desperately.

Relying on her previous observations of the Blood Blade Dance, Millicent did dodge the first few swords.

However, at this moment, Millicent's mentality had been affected, and she was eventually hit hard by the last few swords.

The smooth wound cut across the body from the shoulder to the abdomen, and the blood immediately gushed out.

The bloody blade pierced through the body, leaving bloody scars in the already ruined church.

Millicent immediately gave up the idea of blocking, and instead swung the blade with her backhand, desperately slashing at Eleonora's body in between dodging, thereby absorbing the power of life.
-

Yura turned his head and looked at Bai Shi, somewhat anxiously.

As a Blood Finger Hunter, he had seen too many Faded Ones suffer from this move.

Even he himself fell to this move just now.

Unexpectedly, even though Millicent had seen the Blood Blade Dance, she still couldn't completely avoid it and was hit.

"Mr. Bai Shi, are you really not going to help her?"

"Millicent is obviously in trouble now..."

Bai Shi was silent for a while, but he didn't move either.

If he wanted to save Millicent, then she would never die, so he could watch her growth in peace.

But the problem is that there is absolutely no need to save her now, because Millicent can still fight and will win.

Bai Shi believed that Millicent would definitely win.

He thought so before Eleonora performed her amazing dance, and he still thought so now.

Just now, the psychological pressure on Millicent was more important than the difference in strength. Just like Elon Meier before, after being frightened by Bai Shi's aura, she was no longer conscious.

A small defeat in a battle is not a problem. At least it has not completely tipped the scales of victory.

Because Millicent was still standing there and hadn't fallen down.
-

After the blood dance, Millicent's entire body was covered in horrific cuts and blood, her flesh was a mess, and she was almost cut in half.

The equipment she was wearing was fine for traveling, but it was too flimsy for defense in combat.

If he hadn't dodged part of it, and if he hadn't drawn vitality from the abundance, he probably wouldn't even be able to stand here.

Millicent stood up straight and smiled to herself.

The blood mist just now... was just a trick to lead her step by step into the situation she desired.

The power of Blood Blade Frenzy was not much different from what she first saw. Instead, it was ambushed by Dragon Roar.

It was she herself who was affected, lost her calm and confidence, and ultimately made a mistake.

The so-called life-and-death duel is about using everything you can to the fullest, whether it's your own or your opponent's.

This is really an important lesson...

Unfortunately, even after knowing this, she seemed unable to withstand the next blow.

Eleonora's eyes flashed with surprise when she saw that Millicent did not fall.

This tiny emotion only appeared for an almost imperceptible moment, and then disappeared immediately from his eyes.

If you don’t kill it once, try again.

Eleonora calmly prepared the Blood Blade Frenzy again, raised the blade and rushed towards Millicent again.

Millicent watched Eleonora's movements silently, but her body seemed to fall apart if she moved.

It was obvious that the other party had already raised the sword again and would be able to attack her and chop off her head in less than a second.

But at this moment, Millicent suddenly felt that time seemed to be extremely long.

The other party's movements were so slow that they seemed to stop, moving quietly bit by bit.

Looking at Eleonora moving towards her, Millicent used the little time she had to hesitate.

Want to use the power of corruption?
If I could use both powers in my body...

Then the enemy in front of you is no longer an enemy, but just an ant that can be easily destroyed.

Unlike the abundance of corruption that is learned to control, once corruption is released, it will instantly corrode every part of the body.

However, this power can now be fully controlled. Even if it really corrodes the whole body, I can use some means to transform it into abundance and restore the body to normal.

Even if she used this power, no one would blame her for it...

So, make peace with corruption?
Millicent smiled and gripped the blade even tighter.

The long period of thinking between the lightning and the flint gradually regained color and returned to normal perspective.

Even the powers of the twins are different.

She had already decided to fight corruption to the end, even if it meant turning it into her own strength.

Millicent herself felt that she was a little too stubborn, stubborn to the point of being obstinate.

But she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

In such a world, once the heart begins to corrupt, the soul will fall into the abyss before the body.

She doesn't want this.

Millicent mobilized her abundant power, madly extracting strength from her flesh and blood, squeezing it to the point of almost causing irreversible damage.

As the flesh and blood dried, Millicent's emaciated body finally regained the ability to move.

And the second blood blade dance also arrived at this time.

This time, the blood blades were dancing wildly, still as sharp and unstoppable as before.

However, in this breathtaking blood dance, Millicent tapped her toes lightly, dancing gracefully and elegantly along with Eleonora.

It's like a leaf blown by the wind, feeling the airflow and being carried along.

Millicent's charm lies in her meticulousness and hard work, to the point where she works so hard that people forget how terrifying her talent is.

Millicent was originally a genius in swordsmanship.

Having seen the Blood Blade Dance once and experienced it again personally, it would be a shame to not be able to crack it now, as it is the difficulty of the Flowing Water Sword Technique.

Seeing Millicent following her movements in front of her, Eleonora was completely frightened, and she couldn't get rid of her no matter how hard she tried.

She dodged all the sword attacks without expending almost any of her own strength, and the power Millicent drew from her body was perfectly preserved.

This also means that Millicent's swordsmanship has truly reached its pinnacle.

Even if the Valkyrie herself descended, she would not be able to overwhelm Millicent with swordsmanship alone.

When the momentum of the bloody blade dance waned to its end, Millicent jumped up and turned her body slightly in the air.

The edge of the long sword passed over her head, and at this moment, Millicent seemed to really have invisible wings.

Water birds are dancing!

It was an attack that was more powerful and a dance that was more graceful than Blood Blade Dance.

The sky was filled with silver-white sword light that enveloped Eleonora's body, like wings falling from the sky.

Eleonora became furious and realized that she had no way to avoid it, so she simply wielded the double-edged sword again to fight back desperately.

For a moment, the sounds of the two men's fierce sword collisions became one, and finally almost merged into one.

The shock wave swept across a hundred meters, and when the smoke and dust cleared, the two men's weapons crossed.

The tip of Millicent's sword was against Eleonora's heart, but the edge of the double-edged knife had stopped half an inch in front of her throat.

The swords condensed their power to replace each other's breathing, and the blood-red glow and the cold sword light confronted each other without giving in.

At such a close distance, no matter who strikes first and intends to kill the other, he will be counterattacked before death.

Millicent looked at Eleonora silently without saying a word.

The abundant power continued to absorb Millicent's vitality, and by the time she landed, her injuries were no longer fatal.

The strength that had just been overdrawn from the body was rushed back to replenish it, and the wounds, big and small, no longer bled violently, and there was a momentum of recovery.

In contrast, Eleonora's injuries were much more serious.

Eleonora was covered in blood, and even with the protection of armor, the dancing water birds still caused her much damage.

However, looking at the final result, the corners of Eleonora's mouth gradually curled up.

Even if they were evenly matched, it was acceptable. At least I could use this threat to gain a chance to escape...

But a crisp sound suddenly came, breaking Eleonora's fantasy.

As she looked in disbelief, the double-headed knife pointed at Millicent broke and was chopped into several pieces by the water bird's wild swing.

Eleonora collapsed, her eyes trembling, unable to accept that she had lost.

When her weapon broke, she completely lost the capital to confront the enemy and became a prisoner of war whose life and death could be decided by the other party.

But just as Eleonora was waiting for the decision of fate, Millicent opposite her fell straight back.
