Chapter 1054 Sakura Waning Moon
The same move cannot be used against the Saint a second time.
This sentence is actually very loose. For example, Seiya was once killed by Aiolia...
Ahem, let's get back to the point.
Although there is no dazzling light effect, and the fashion value of the starting hand is not even as good as the previous [Thunder] or [Spinous Process], everyone with a discerning eye can see that Liadrin is about to use it Her combat skills contain extremely terrifying power. Although it cannot be said to be infinitely powerful, for a high-level knight who has not yet touched the threshold of the epic level, just this sword in her hand is beyond Liadrin's level. He is already at the same level as his background.
[Knight Skill - Broken Setting Sun] is the specialty of Darian Diesel, the current member of the Diesel family, and Liadrin, who can use this move [Pseudo - Broken Setting Sun], can definitely defeat anyone with it. An opponent of the same profession whose strength has not yet reached the epic level.
Everyone around the training ground thought so. Even Gavin Rad, who had just seen Mo Tan turning the sparring into a teaching battle, felt that Liadrin There is a good chance of victory.
Until he heard Mo Tan’s sigh——
“This is the trick... What a pity...”
After saying such a sentence out of nowhere , Mo Tan once again activated [Crane Moon] with no cooling time, moved half a step to the left lightly, and calmly avoided Liadrin's first sword.
But this did not surprise the latter. After all, through previous battles, Liadrin knew that the opponent did possess some superb skills that could greatly increase the movement speed in a short period of time and focus on defensive counterattacks.
The previous [Thunder] and [Spinous Process] were all avoided by him using this technique.
However, this move [Pseudo·Shattered Setting Sun] is different!
Through God's perspective, we can see that this skill allows Liadrin to make five to seven slashes in five seconds, and her actual limit is no more, no less. Six consecutive cuts.
Five seconds, six cuts.
【Can win! 】
The moment Mo Tan dodged the first sword, Liadrin also swung the second sword without any delay, striking Mo Tan's side from bottom to top.
According to the female knight's conjecture, the opponent's counterattack technique of having to sheath the sword should be very limited, and the greatest possibility is that he will not be able to carry out a large range of attacks during this process. Move, or be unable to make too large a movement, so that with at most three swords, you can force the opponent to fight with you!
The last three marks in the head-to-head fight are [Pseudo·Broken Setting Sun], which has already raised its speed and power. Unless this guy can take a half-step into the epic, even if his physique is stronger than mine, he will definitely The weapon is knocked away when the last or second to last sword is received.
Liadrin, who has been immersed in the way of knighthood for a long time, thinks so.
And Gavinrad Diesel, who has epic peak strength off the court, also made the same judgment.
That Brother Mo could probably dodge the first three swords, and then he was forced into a confrontational state by Liadrin, and took the last three rounds of Shattering Sun!
[He shouldn’t be able to take it...]
Gavin Rad thought this, and then subconsciously turned to look at his grandfather, only to find that Jadeka’s expression was still calm. The clouds are light and there is no change at all.
The reason is very simple. Just as Liadrin and Gavin Rad felt that Mo Tan could not catch this move, Jadeka and Yaya firmly believed that Mo Tan could take this round of [Pseudo·Shattered] "Setting Sun", whether it is three swords, five swords, or seven or ten swords, Mo Tan can handle it.
This is not blind confidence, but partners like Jadeka and Yaya who have been teaming up with Mo Tan for adventures know very well that the latter has a skill that can greatly improve his physical fitness in all aspects.
【Reverse scale transformation】!
It is not even necessary to show the complete dragon transformation when facing the two deacons of the [Viper] Chamber of Commerce in the Cassello Grassland, even if only one stage of reverse scale is less effective and has smaller side effects, Mo Tan is also strong enough to withstand the coming onslaught.
But he didn't do that...
The reason is very simple. Although Mo Tan is not a Saint and does not have a fortress-like eighth sense, he once watched it on the Cassero Grassland. Having experienced the original [Shattered Setting Sun] performed by Darian Diesel himself, he is still confident enough to defeat this move without activating [Reverse Scale Transformation] and without the assistance of Wang Badan.
It can't be said that Liadrin is unlucky. After all, even if she uses a combat skill of the same level and that Mo Tan has never seen before, there is absolutely no way she can win this against the latter who promised to 'go all out'. victory.
Boom!
Along with a harsh sound of fighting, Motan, who should have moved sideways or retreated, suddenly swung his sword and hit Liadrin's sword tip without any bias. Shengsheng intercepted the blow.
Liadrin, who had no time to think, immediately twisted her body and slashed out the third sword, whistling down.
As a result, Mo Tan moved this time, but the amplitude was extremely small. He just turned his body slightly to avoid the blow.
At this point, the three swords have passed, and the scene Liadrin originally expected has not appeared at all. Not only did it not break Motan's [Crescent Moon], it didn't even let the opponent take two steps.
The fourth sword, a powerful and heavy slash!
哐——
As a result, as soon as he was halfway through the cut, he was stopped in mid-air by a sword thrown down by Mo Tan, making it difficult to make any further progress.
Sheathing her sword and gathering strength, Liadrin grunted, forcibly stimulating the blood in her body, and thrust out the fifth sword!
Now that the situation is completely out of control, Liadrin no longer expects to defeat the opponent with the last two pieces, but at least she cannot lose simply like this. Even if she loses in the end, she will still create some trouble for the opponent. come out.
Mo Tan, on the other hand, took two steps back with an extremely calm expression, and once again completed a round of extreme evasion under the [Waning Moon] state.
At the same time——
[Hidden proficiency reaches the threshold, you have obtained the derivative skill [Sakura Waning Moon]]
The system prompts suddenly in Mo Tan’s ears sounded.
Perhaps it's because Mo Tan's method of cracking Liadrin's [Pseudo·Shattered Sun] was too high-end. Not only did he perfectly use one avoidance and one counterattack to receive five swords in a row, but now even the [Crescent Moon] state is gone. He was not forcibly taken out, so he usually used it quite frequently, but the [Crescent Moon], which had not yet advanced like [Arc Moon Flash] and [Arc Shadow Slash], had its derivative skills unlocked at this time.
[Sakura Waning Moon, the name is quite nice~]
Mo Tan smiled, this thought flashed through his mind, and then he waved it at Liadrin with all his strength. The last sword strike was a counterattack from a well-calculated angle.
As a result, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
First of all, Liadrin did not swing the last sword towards Motan, but slammed it to the ground. At the same time, she spurted blood from her mouth, and actually set off a surge of incomparable energy on the ground. It hit Mo Tan from above and in all directions.
There is no way to avoid it!
It stands to reason... If the sword that Mo Tan swung just now was indeed a critical counterattack after evading it through [Crane Moon], then the conclusion can only be that he made an empty cut and was then killed by Liadrin The last move was combined with another knight skill [Splitting Wave Sword] and flew away with the final blow.
Although it is only a minor injury at best, it will definitely be quite embarrassing.
In fact, if things really develop like this, it is really in line with his wishes.
But...it's so immortal, because the sentence "Sakura Wanzue, the name is quite nice~" flashed in Mo Tan's mind just when he swung the last sword, so in various coincidences Next, the sword he struck was no longer a simple counterattack of the waning moon, but——
[Derivative skill·Sakura Waning Moon]

[Remarks 1: A derivative skill of the Eight-leaf Itto-ryu·Five-shaped [Crane Moon]]
[Note 2: The sad clouds are gathering in the west again, and the cherry blossoms are full of blossoms. The sad warrior died first, I sacrifice my soul to my heart! ——Eight Leaves Itto Ryu's disciple: Alan Bagley]
...
In an instant, countless dots of cherry-red blade light suddenly surged out with the black sandalwood as the center. !
Because he had just mastered the skill [Sakura Waning Moon], he was far from being able to use his arms and fingers like his other skills, and it just met the triggering conditions, so Mo Tan inadvertently used this skill directly through a thought. Use it!
The direct result of this was that Liadrin's energy inspired by the last sword was directly torn into pieces by Mo Tan's sword. Not only did she not lift him away, she even left him in the sea. Not even a wisp of it was blown up, but after that, countless blades of light spread out and spread like a beautiful rose-colored tornado, rolling towards Liadrin who staggered to her feet.
Mo Tan had already lowered the long sword in his hand, but was completely powerless to stop the 'Sakura' that had completed its activation.
Although it was only the first time to use it, Mo Tan almost started to be afraid when this move [Sakura Waning Moon] defeated Liadrin's last sword based on the prelude alone!
This skill is very powerful! Very strong!
Both practicality and cost-effectiveness are excellent, and its power is impeccable. It is also a variable skill with a controllable range. If the proficiency is sufficient, Mo Tan feels that he can even control the effective range of the skill at will. .
But the premise is ‘sufficient proficiency’!
Mo Tan, who used this skill for the first time, was obviously unskilled, so even if he is extremely talented in the field of combat, some things are difficult to do, at least at this moment. To do it, for example...
Stop those murderous blades that are as dazzling as cherry blossoms and are rolling towards Liadrin in mid-air!
“Well, I seem to have overdone it.”
Liadrin staggered while holding the long sword in her hand, feeling the cherry blossoms around her that were rolling towards her at a very fast speed, making her feel stinging even from a short distance away. It was difficult. He raised his giant sword to protect his face.
Standing in the center of the large cold and sharp blade, Liadrin did not blame Mo Tan at all. After all, she was the one who made others use her full strength.
Although this 'full strength' is a bit unexpected...
Death is probably impossible, but if you are seriously injured, you probably won't be able to escape.
Out of the corner of her eye, through the blade light flying all over the sky, Liadrin saw that Gavin Rad had drawn the sword from behind, and seemed to be preparing to rush over to save people.
But it was probably too late. It is said that beautiful things are always fleeting. Although the extremely dangerous, yet intoxicating blades around us were too fast.
[Ah, I lost...]
Liadrin sighed in relief and gently closed her eyes.
If possible, she still doesn't want scars on her face.
Then——
Liadrin, who was ready to be baptized by the cherry blossoms, suddenly felt her body lighten suddenly. She subconsciously opened her eyes and found that she had appeared on the edge of the training ground, and was also attacked by the half-dragon named Mo. The knight hugged her waist, and as for the dangerous "cherry blossoms", they were floating lonely not far behind the two of them, and the dots were extremely beautiful.
And it's a little... romantic.
"Thank you, thank you."
Liadrin looked at the clear, bright eyes in front of her that contained worry and concern, and turned away with a red face. , she knew that it was probably the other party who had forced his way into the cherry blossoms and brought her out.
【Finally not dead. 】
Mo Tan breathed a long sigh of relief, whispered "I'm sorry" and let go of Liadrin's slender waist.
Then the white elf female knight's legs weakened and she fell straight to the ground.
“Be careful.”
Of course, Mo Tan didn’t just sit back and watch others slap the ground. He hurriedly leaned over and grabbed Liadrin’s waist before she fell into Mother Earth’s arms.
“Ah! Sorry, sorry!”
After letting out a short exclamation, Liadrin hurriedly broke away from Motan's arm and jumped out as if running away, and in the next second she let out a second exclamation: "Ah! Your back!"
Until now, she noticed that Mo Tan's back was a bloody mess at some point. Not to mention that the cloak had been completely shredded into rags, the back of the plate armor that didn't fit very well was basically in place. All torn apart.
“It’s not a big problem.”
Mo Tan took two steps back, turned sideways to hide his back, and said with a smile: “The injury is very shallow, it’s not a problem.”
“It’s in the way!”
Liadrin bit her lip lightly, raised her head suddenly and said loudly: "I... uh, um, Mr. Mo! Let me apply medicine to you!"
Mo Tan:?
......
"Hmm~"
Ya smacked her lips, looked at Liadrin standing in front of Mo Tan, hesitating, and sighed deeply. Take a breath——
"Who is not aware of it..."
