The pigeon stabbed directly at Shadowkill's breaking perception. Shadowkill also saw through the pigeon's intentions and didn't fear a direct attack. He swung his fists forward, instantly heading towards the pigeon's short knife. The pigeon's figure skewed, and he dodged the fists directly. After training, the pigeon's combat awareness had greatly increased. Coupled with that person's guidance, the pigeon could now handle two or three players alone, let alone a one-on-one fight.
The short knife stabbed directly at Shadowkill's breaking perception. Seeing this, Shadowkill crossed his arms in front of his chest and retreated. The pigeon seized the opportunity, his speed surging as he moved towards Shadowkill. A hint of anger flickered in Shadowkill's eyes.
Then, he clapped his hands together, and with an opening, a long spear instantly appeared in his hand. He thrust the spear forward, and the spearhead clashed with the short knife. Both figures recoiled, though the pigeon was pushed back further. In this clash of strength, the pigeon was at a disadvantage.
Shadowkill spoke, "Did you think I was truly afraid of you? Since you attacked first, don't blame me. Being able to force me to use my weapon is already your pride."
The number of times Shadowkill had used his weapon since obtaining it was few. However, every player or boss who had seen this spear had already met their demise.
In Shadowkill's hand was a spear, eight chi long. The spear shaft was dark green, and the spearhead had a mechanical texture, seemingly wrapped in fine wires that formed an outer layer. The shaft itself bore wave-like patterns, also in dark green. At the end of the spear was a sword tip.
The pigeon looked at the spear before him, sensing its extraordinary nature. He knew he had to be careful.
He quickly checked the spear's information and was shocked. It was a weapon corresponding to the White Blaze grade, currently in a sealed state. Otherwise, Shadowkill wouldn't have been able to use it.
The pigeon guessed that some sealing formations or items must have been used, or this weapon would be unusable.
"Since you've seen my weapon, you can only die," Shadowkill declared, his eyes glinting coldly. This weapon was so well hidden that no one in his own team even knew about it. Now that it was exposed, he wouldn't let his opponent leave so easily. At the very least, he had to leave something behind.
The pigeon understood Shadowkill's intentions, but killing him would be quite difficult.
Suddenly, a shield appeared on his left hand. His arm slid into the shield, and the heavy shield surprisingly became compact. His arm directly connected to it, and the shield and arm became one. He held the shield in his left hand and the short knife in his right.
This was a combat form awakened during training, a state that integrated offense and defense. Given the power of Shadowkill's weapon, the pigeon dared not underestimate it and had to go all out.
With the appearance of Shadowkill's weapon, his speed attribute had surged by two thousand, bringing it close to the pigeon's own stats. This was why the pigeon was so cautious. Shadowkill took a step forward and charged at the pigeon, his spear dancing as he thrust it forward. The pigeon's left arm, shielded, blocked the spear's attack. He was forced back, however. This weapon had a mandatory knockback effect, making it difficult to handle.
The short knife in his right hand swept downwards towards Shadowkill. Shadowkill swung his spear, his arms moving rapidly. The short knife's attack was blocked by the spear shaft. Then, with a full sweep, the short knife slid down the spear's body. Shadowkill then used the sword tip at the end of the spear in a horizontal sweep towards the pigeon.
The pigeon leaned back, the sword tip narrowly missing his face. He then kicked out with both legs, aiming for Shadowkill's chin. Shadowkill retreated.
The distance between them widened. The pigeon slowly retracted his short knife into the shield. Then, from the sheath on his back, he slowly drew out his long sword, a weapon he rarely used. He had previously earned its acknowledgment and could now wield it freely. However, the pigeon maintained an air of mystery and had not yet drawn his sword. He held the scabbard, pointing its tip at Shadowkill.
Shadowkill felt insulted and roared, "Draw your sword! Don't look down on me!"
"Sorry, you don't have the qualifications to make me draw my sword!" the pigeon replied calmly. This was the truth; if he drew his sword, Shadowkill would be no match for him. But he wanted to conserve his strength. The reputation of the Yaotian team had spread throughout the entire Chrono Epoch. All players would be watching their trump cards and hidden strengths. He would hide his strength as much as possible.
Furthermore, because of Chen Tian, his entire team had become sought-after by players. Their professions and information were also very alluring.
The pigeon continued to point the scabbard at Shadowkill. Shadowkill felt further insulted, not drawing his sword, seeing it as utter contempt. Was he implying he could defeat him with just the scabbard? It was arrogant and presumptuous. He knew his weapon was of a certain caliber, not something ordinary weapons could contend with. The pigeon's short knife had already cracked during their previous clash, forcing him to switch weapons.
But a scabbard? He didn't believe its quality could contend with his spear. Something that would shatter upon contact, and yet the pigeon treated it with such disdain.
Shadowkill's figure blurred, turning into afterimages. With the speed boost from his spear, his speed was now comparable to the pigeon's, so he was no longer as passive as before.
His spear transformed into countless spear shadows, hurtling towards the pigeon. The pigeon's scabbard moved left and right. The countless spear shadows struck the scabbard, producing only sounds. The scabbard itself remained unscathed, not even a single crack appeared.
Shadowkill was astonished. What was the quality of this weapon, this scabbard? Could a mere scabbard ignore the damage inflicted by his weapon? If that was the case, wouldn't the sword within be worthless once unsheathed?
However, Shadowkill was a quick analyst. He didn't believe the pigeon possessed such a weapon. He then clicked on the scabbard's information and immediately understood.
The scabbard's ability was indestructibility, designed to protect the sword within. Because of this ability, Shadowkill's spear attacks caused no damage or cracks.
The pigeon looked at Shadowkill expressionlessly. His opponent would definitely check the information. However, Chen Tian had hidden and fabricated the scabbard's details, so what Shadowkill saw was false information.
Chen Tian's "Deceiving the Heavens" ability could also be applied to items and used on others, but it couldn't alter other players' information panels.
Therefore, the scabbard information Shadowkill saw was fake. The quality of this scabbard and its accompanying sword were superior to Shadowkill's weapon, but the fake information was created to conceal it.
The pigeon could also use this weapon at any time; he had already earned its acknowledgment and could wield it freely. However, its power and abilities were calculated based on his level. In essence, the higher his level, the greater the power displayed. The lower his level, the more limitations there were.
But it wasn't necessary to unsheathe it. With just the scabbard, the pigeon was confident he could defeat his opponent.
The pigeon stepped forward, and the shield in his left hand swept out, a shield blade flying towards Shadowkill. Shadowkill parried with his spear held horizontally, but the scabbard was coming towards his face.
He used all his strength to push the shield away, then used the sword tip at the end of his spear to block the scabbard and send it flying. He then executed a counter-attack, the spearhead aimed directly at the pigeon's heart.
The pigeon reacted quickly. A small gap slowly opened at the hilt of the scabbard, catching the spear tip. With a twist of his body, Shadowkill was flung sideways by the momentum.
Seeing this, Shadowkill let go of his spear. He then kicked upwards from below, striking his spear. The spear spun and descended towards the pigeon.
The pigeon saw the spinning spear and brought his shield up. He blocked it, and the spear was sent flying.
Shadowkill leaped into the air, holding his spear with his left arm in a throwing motion. The muscles in his left arm swelled as dark green energy flowed and coiled around the spear.
He then hurled the spear, which transformed into a dark green beam of light, directly at the pigeon's shield. The pigeon was stunned; his opponent had used a skill.
The shield then erupted with a phantom image, golden light filling its surface as if it had become even sturdier.
The dark green beam of light, like a falling star, plunged towards the shield.
They collided.
Dark green light, overbearing and resolute. Meteor's light.
Golden shield, guardian's phantom, boundless golden radiance.
Skill: Star Annihilation Spear!
Skill: Stalwart Shield!
The pigeon's Stalwart Shield skill could randomly enhance his shield's defense and hardness by up to eight times, but it could only be used once a day.
Star Annihilation Spear was a weapon skill, possessing the power to destroy stars and planets, a force of extreme dominance.
The pigeon gritted his teeth, enduring the attack. He had increased his defense and hardness by sixfold, yet it was still this difficult. He couldn't fathom the power of this strike.
Little did the pigeon know, this was Star Annihilation Spear! A power capable of destroying stars, not something easily defended against. A voice suddenly echoed in the pigeon's mind: 'Kid, be careful. The weapon forged from the fragments of that world is a Star Annihilation level weapon.'
"Star Annihilation level? What level is that? I've never heard of it!"
"Cough cough! You don't need to know. It's not for you to know now. Be careful, this weapon was forged from a fragment. You cannot contend with it unless you draw your sword! Otherwise, you have no chance!"
