In a very short time, Heo felt that he had almost lost his sense of the new mark placed on Bright.

This was not the first time he had placed multiple marks on the same being. Previously, when dealing with the angel-level 009-1 in the main world, He Ao used three marks at once to modify 009-1's choices and ultimately kill 009-1.

However, as a result, these three marks have entered a three-month cooling-off period. Hypermemory has a total of five marks, and Heo now only has two marks available.

Now, he placed both marks on Bright.

As he had guessed, although Bright once again 'eliminated' the power of the extrasensory projection, the power between the two marks formed a special superposition.

He could sense that he could activate both markers simultaneously and use 'Easy Thought' once. Of course, he could also use these two markers to try to continue 'monitoring' Bright's thoughts.

However, in this case, these two marks would not have enough power to support 'Easy'.

He abandoned the idea of ​​activating the marker to eavesdrop on Bright's thoughts, since the marker could only hear the surface level of his thoughts anyway.

Moreover, in fact, 'listening' can only be used once, because once Bright discovers that Heo can listen to his surface thoughts, an old guy like Bright will definitely use false surface thoughts to cover up his true thoughts, and even use this to set a trap for Heo.

So listening is useful, but it can't decide the outcome of a battle at crucial moments.

However, without the added benefit of 'listening,' He Ao's decision to employ Yi Si will have to rely entirely on intuition.

He only has one chance.

Although his mind was racing, He Ao showed no other expression on his face.

He sheathed his knight's sword behind his back, gripped the golden greatsword in both hands, and slashed at Bright again.

The size and weight of the knight's sword and the golden greatsword are not balanced, so except in special circumstances, the combat power of wielding two swords in each hand is actually less than that of wielding only one weapon.

Bright doesn't seem to be carrying a long weapon, but the golden broadsword is long enough to give Heo a certain advantage with a long weapon.

"Out of control."

As Heo raised his knife to strike again, Bright opened his arms and then suddenly clenched his fists.

hum-

His entire body, along with his long robe, trembled. A sharp and violent sonic boom echoed in the air, and a howling wind rippled out from his body, brushing against He Ao's cheeks and blowing his loose strands of hair.

He Ao's steps did not falter, and there was no fear in his deep eyes. He swung his broadsword, the blade spinning overhead, creating a huge blade flower with a whistling sonic boom, and slashed down directly at Bright's body.

This strike carried terrifying power and incredible speed; the blade's light, like a golden crescent moon, streaked across the sky.

This time, Bright didn't block Heo's attack head-on. Instead, he dodged to the side like a nimble fish, avoiding Heo's strike.

boom

-

With a tremendous roar, the ground beneath Bright's feet shattered, countless cracks spread out, and chunks of reinforced concrete broke apart and collapsed downwards.

Without any hesitation, Heo immediately drew his sword and raised it, slashing sideways in line with Bright's figure.

Bright quickly ducked to avoid the attack.

His movements were extremely fast, as if they happened without warning.

“Little guy,”

The old man smiled and said, "You can't fight with brute force alone."

He Ao raised his knife and slashed back, but the old man's body leaned back as easily as a feather, dodging the blow.

Countless scattered energy circuits were reflected in the boy's eyes.

Seeing the increasingly broad smile on his face, He Ao didn't say anything. Instead, he took a step forward, raised his knife, blade upward, and slashed at the retreating old man.

The old man took a half step back to the side, dodging the slashing knife.

His body was as light as a feather and as swift as a fish. Each movement seemed to be made without any preparation, suddenly, like dust floating in the air. There was no sign of dodging. As soon as He Ao's blade arrived, he was blown away by the disturbed wind, elusive and unpredictable.

But are there really people in this world who are as light as a feather?

If it were an ability from a talent sequence, it might actually be possible, but clearly, Bright's talent sequence doesn't seem to have such an ability.

Besides special abilities, there are other ways to achieve this effect.

For example, skillful movements and techniques.

By controlling muscles and the body's energy, and by deceiving the enemy's combat instincts, one can achieve the goal of 'evasion'.

When a person is preparing to make a certain action, there is always a preparation process in advance. For example, when lifting a leg forward, the leg muscles of the leg that is being lifted will tighten, the heel will lift slightly, and the body will subconsciously lean forward.

From another person's perspective, this person is about to move forward.

Theoretically speaking, when a person moves forward, the point of support is the foot that is not lifted.

However, if a person shifts their weight to the raised foot while performing these micro-movements, using the raised toes to support their body, the foot that was not raised will slide backward, and so on.

This creates the effect of appearing to move forward, but actually sliding backward.

The muscle changes that an observer sees and notices are not actually the muscle changes that support the actor's actions.

In this way, the intuition of onlookers is 'deceived'.

The same applies to combat.

Bright's movements were not made in an instant without any preparation; he simply used the outward appearance of standing to conceal the mobilization of his strength and muscles.

At the same time, his muscle movements are very subtle, making his whole body appear exceptionally supple.

This creates the effect of a 'sudden dodge' that appears as if the blade is being blown away by the wind before it even touches the edge.

If you cannot predict his true direction of action and are deceived by his feigned actions, you will not be able to truly strike him.

At the same time, his method of mobilizing power is highly efficient in energy utilization and also significantly improves speed.

Light as a speck of dust, yet swift as a reindeer.

As the thought flashed through his mind, He Ao drew his sword, spun it, and slashed back. This time, his attack...

The old man dodged it the second time.

"The power of your butterfly is waning very quickly,"

Bright straightened up, looked at Heo, and smiled. "You're going to die soon."

He Ao did not answer, but instead held the knife in one hand, the golden blade dancing like a whirlwind, slashing horizontally at Bright again with a whistling wind.

In that instant, Heo sensed the energy flow within Bright's body.

it's here!

The next second, he stepped forward, and the sharp blade suddenly shot forward, locking Bright's retreating steps.

Bright's expression changed. It was too late for him to change his direction and dodge. He quickly raised his left hand, his left forearm hanging down, and placed his right hand on the back of his left hand. A golden light flashed across his skin as he blocked the golden broadsword that Heo was sweeping towards him.

boom--

With a deafening roar, Bright's entire body was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing through a tall building behind him and disappearing into its depths.

At that very moment, a Dragoon fighter jet took off from the gap between the two buildings, its massive cannon aimed at Heo.

He glanced at the United Industries emblem hanging on the opposite high-rise building, then gripped his golden broadsword and looked at the breach that Bright had smashed through.

The buildings in this area all belong to United Industries.

Without pausing, he raised his golden broadsword, leaped into the air, and his entire body streaked across the sky like a streak of light.

The golden light cleaved through the energy bay of the dragon rider fighter.

boom--

With a loud bang, a huge flame burst in the air.

As soon as Bright stood up from the broken concrete, he saw a huge flame erupt above his head, followed by a golden beam of light that slashed towards him.

"Kid, you've come at the right time!"

This time, he didn't dodge, but instead crossed his arms and forcefully blocked He Ao's long sword.

The sleeve covering his arm shattered instantly, revealing skin covered in golden light.

He then shook his arms, trying to shake He Ao away.

At this moment, as he stood on the edge of the building, He Ao was dozens of meters above the ground.

Heo gripped the knife hilt and, using the force of the recoil, performed a front flip, leaping into the large hole that had been smashed open and landing behind Bright.

"Kid, you've got some skills."

Bright turned around and looked at Heo. He reached out and tore his clothes to shreds, revealing dense, coiled muscles that resembled a serpentine dragon.

In that instant, Bright's body shot out like a streak of light, appearing in front of He Ao as if in a flash. Before He Ao could fully regain his footing, his golden fist delivered a powerful swing punch to He Ao's cheek.

He Ao's body was sent flying, crashing through several walls.

"Kid, these high-rise buildings are perfect as your graveyard."

Bright turned around and looked at Heo, his voice hoarse and calm.

"It's too early to say who will win or lose."

He Ao, who had crashed into the last wall, staggered to his feet. He spat out a mouthful of blood, carefully took off the scarf around his neck, and hung it on a steel bar next to him.

He stared at Bright, his mind replaying Bright's seemingly teleporting movements.

that too

It's the application of Bright's special 'body technique'.

This movement technique can be used not only to dodge, but also to attack.

"Kid, you are indeed very smart, but you can't even break through my defenses. It's too early for you to talk to me about this."

Bright raised his hand and walked step by step toward Heo. "The smarter you are, the more I'm determined to get rid of you myself today."

"I guess I'm really lucky to have a 'strongman' who has been hiding behind the scenes and dared not show his face personally take action."

Heo gripped the golden broadsword and looked at Bright with a smile.

The silent night swallowed up all surrounding sounds.

No one works in this building at night; previously, only some Eternal Secret Cult sentries were stationed in the vicinity.

"I suddenly don't want you to die. I will collect your soul, and after you become the Monster of Truth and complete your mission, I will put your soul back into your body, cut off your flesh piece by piece, and then make you repeat this pain forever in the Eternal Kingdom."

Bright looked at the young boy in front of him, his aged face somewhat ferocious.
