One step, two steps... three steps, entering attack range... Good! This time, you won't die? Death Knight!
Iri calculated the range of the Seal. When the range covered Death Knight, Iri once again let out a smirk, then prepared to swing the giant blade in her hand.
But just as Iri was about to swing her sword, Death Knight, as if predicting the trajectory of Iri's attack, had already moved her body in advance.
"I told you! Get rid of that disgusting expression! You have such obvious facial changes before launching an attack, everyone knows you're about to attack!" Death Knight said while predicting the trajectory of Iri's attack.
"Is that so? Myo-o Goin! Shinjyu Hatsu-do!" Iri shouted, then swung her sword.
However, this sword strike was naturally dodged by Death Knight, as Death Knight had indeed predicted correctly.
Iri's sword strike was just a very simple horizontal slash, with no special features other than being a bit faster.
"I thought you were something amazing, but you're nothing special... Urgh..." Death Knight had just finished speaking when a cold and painful sensation came from her chest.
Looking down, she saw that her chest had been hit by a blade. The wound wasn't deep, and a layer of frost had condensed on it, preventing any blood from flowing out.
"Hmm? What did you say just now? Can you say it again?" Iri said with a smile. This was revenge for Wu Da Forest.
"Wh-what's going on? I clearly dodged it." Death Knight was instantly bewildered.
"Don't think you're the only one who can use air blade attacks!" Iri explained to the bewildered Death Knight.
However, that wasn't the case. Iri didn't know any air blades at all. Death Knight was affected by the Shinjyu just now, causing her to misjudge the attack trajectory.
This was to be used in conjunction with the Ice Aura emitted by the Ice Aura. It could be used as long as it was within the range covered by the Ice Aura.
The so-called Shinjyu.
To put it simply, it was similar to an illusion! But Iri wouldn't be so honest as to reveal the principle of her ultimate skill to her enemy, so she just made up the air blade to bluff her.
"You... you scoundrel!" Although Death Knight was grumbling, she didn't impulsively rush over. But rushing over or not was useless now; she was already within the range of the Seal, and Iri could cut her into pieces at any time.
"It's getting late, it's time to end this, isn't it? Hey... I say, Yugali, if you stop now, I can still spare your life! If you continue, then I'll just have to kill you once." Iri advised her.
Actually, she had no intention of advising her at all. Saying this was just to continue provoking her and to mock her a bit.
"Damn it... if you can kill me, then come on!" Death Knight said, gritting her teeth, as if enduring something, but her tone was very lacking in confidence.
"Then! Come on! Take this! Myo-o Goin's ultimate secret! Sanzu Zandan! Kurikara Ken!" Iri shouted out the name of her move with full momentum.
Anyway, it was another world, so no one would say anything if she was a bit chuunibyou. Besides, wasn't it popular in other worlds to shout out your moves loudly?
In an instant, the figure of Iri, holding the giant sword, disappeared from Death Knight's sight for about a second, then reappeared in the same spot, but when she reappeared, Iri had her back to Death Knight.
"Sanzu means the three evil paths. Yugali, after you die, which path will you fall into?" Iri didn't turn around, but said something very pretentious, yet of unclear actual meaning.
Next, she should snap her fingers, and Death Knight behind her should fall into pieces.
Uh... it might get a bit bloody later. As Iri thought this, she raised her hand, a triumphant smile on her face, and snapped her fingers, which had never made a sound before. She just waited to hear a crash, the sound of disintegration and falling to the ground.
There was indeed a crash, but what disintegrated was not Death Knight behind her, but the giant sword in her own hand.
The giant ice blade shattered all over the ground, and then, in the distance, after a thud, there was another sound of ice breaking.
Something's not right?
Iri quickly turned around and saw Death Knight standing perfectly fine in place. Besides another wound, almost piercing her entire side, diagonally below her chest, she was completely fine. What about the promised dismemberment?
A bewildered Iri looked towards the direction from which the sound had come and saw a large section of the ice blade smashed onto the ground not far away.
Iri finally understood what was happening. It turned out that her MP had already run out when she activated her ultimate skill.
So, after activating the ultimate skill, the twelve-part cutting ultimate move that should have instantly struck Death Knight, only landed one cut before the greatsword broke in half. The remaining eleven cuts all hit thin air... This was very awkward; Death Knight was still alive! So, her pretense just now was all for nothing!
