Chapter 968 Praising This Sword

"Haha, you've learned your lesson this time. You didn't use the same trick you used against me last time. That trick was really stupid," said Shangguan Yan, the man in the voice.

By this time, Xia Shou had completely remembered and knew who this person was.

No, it should be said that he knew who the hallucination was.

He's a writer!
During his final battle with the writer, the writer did indeed resemble the minister, because the writer had copied the minister's appearance, only the gender was male.

Why did the hallucination suddenly appear at this moment?
Delusions?
No, it shouldn't be. It's like before, I'm under too much psychological pressure right now, so I'm having the illusion that the corpse is talking.

However, this time it was quite unusual that the corpse that spoke was not at the scene; it was someone who had died long ago.

What did the writer just say?

Which move...that was the best way to deal with him?
The writer, who resembled a male version of Shangguan Yan and was lying where Shangguan Yan had fallen, continued, "Back then, you built a huge mirror palace around here, but it was completely useless. It's quite funny."

Oh, I remember now, that's what he was referring to.

Indeed, it had no effect at all, because the writer's slash came with the ability to cut through abnormalities first, so it would first cut off the spatial teleportation effect of the mirror magic, and then physically shatter the mirror.

Wait! Can Sprite's slash do that too?

Xia Shou thought about it carefully.

Sprite's slash... seems ineffective!
In that case, wouldn't we be able to use the Mirror Palace technique?

If the opponent's slash cannot directly shatter the mirror, it can be teleported from one end to the other through spatial teleportation. Using the mirror as a shield can even completely deflect Sprite's attacks!

As if discovering a completely new continent, Xia Shou's spirits immediately tightened to the extreme.

No, no, no, don't get too carried away. Even if it works, you can't just use it so simply.

Sprite is no ordinary superhuman; it would be foolish to limit his abilities to conventional thinking.

If it were that easy to exploit loopholes, then Sprite wouldn't be the Rift Queen; it should be assumed that Sprite has the ability to handle any unexpected situation.

Put yourself in someone else's shoes, put yourself in someone else's shoes...

At this moment, the writer's corpse spoke again: "Hey, you don't think I'm giving you a hint, do you? His slashes are different from mine, and his level is much higher."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Xia Shou, and he realized that his previous idea was completely wrong.

Although the spatial teleportation of mirror magic is not directly related to level, when the space corresponding to the mirror side is switched, there cannot be anything of a higher level than the user on the plane that the mirror throws out, otherwise it will get stuck like Brother Bai's ability [Rubik's Cube], and cannot be cut.

Sprite's slashes were of a higher level than his. Sprite's slashes were almost continuous. Even if he could use the mirror to connect the two spaces and transfer the opponent's slashes, it would be impossible to adjust the space teleported by the mirror afterward. Those continuous slashes would fix that space section like screws.

A mirror that cannot adjust its spatial teleportation surface, or even move itself, is practically useless; it's just a disposable item.

Such disposable items would only waste the production limit of [Future Prefabrication]. "Besides... she's never used the Witch's Slash, has she? Do you think she's called a witch just because she can cut things?" The writer said stiffly with a face that resembled Shangguan Yan's, yet was slightly different, his tone filled with schadenfreude and sarcasm.

Xia Shou then realized that Sprite hadn't used the scar that Shangguan Yan had left on him!
The minister's strike is special; the writer's strike was copied from hers, so her strike can actually cut through the abnormality first.

If Sprite had used that scar directly, he would have been cut open even in his elemental form.

Why didn't he use it?

Was it because they didn't notice? Or was it out of a king's pride? Did they not want to use the minister's power?

Or perhaps, the scar formed by the damage inflicted by the minister has lost the original effect of preemptively cutting off abnormalities that came with the attack?

Before the abnormality of cutting occurs, perhaps the damage and the accompanying force should be considered separately.

In short, Xia Shou confirmed that mirror magic was useless against Sprite. Regardless of whether Sprite used the scar, he could easily and costlessly counter mirror magic.

Even if you really have to use it, you can only use it once.

This kind of trick will be seen through immediately after one use and is completely worthless.

Wait, just once?
Suddenly, like a bolt from the blue, an astonishing idea struck his mind!
That's right, just once! Once is enough!

In an instant, the flow of time in Xia Shou's vision returned to normal; he had grasped Sprite's attack patterns.

The ordinary slashes never stop, but the slashes that turn damage into scars are released the instant they accumulate to a certain limit. This release is preceded by a warning sign; you can see Sprite peeling the scars off her body like stickers.

An attack performed with a scar has no process of being hit; instead, the result is displayed on the target in an instant.

Based on this feature, we can take a gamble!
A golden bookshelf door emerged from the shadows. As the door opened, Xia Shou's hand, formed from flames, grasped the hilt of the sword. It could no longer be called a sword, as it had no blade, only the hilt.

"Three-foot Water! Someone once used it to slay a dragon. Today, I will use this sword to slay King Sprite here!!" Xia Shou shouted loudly. The part of the Three-foot Water sword that was originally invisible slowly revealed a semi-transparent thing, like an extremely thin layer of water mist.

Three Feet of Water yearns for the refinement of special moonlight, but also for its deeds to be told. It can be seen that even a small-scale spread of the story can add new power to this sword. Although it is very weak, at least it has already formed a blade.

Xia Shou swung his sword, instantly teleporting to Sprite's side. The transparent blade slid across Sprite's body, smoothly slicing him in half.

The physical damage was transformed into scars almost instantly, but the power of the three-foot water to suppress abnormalities might also be transformed along with the damage. This was a huge gamble!
Xia Shou saw a hint of surprise flash in Sprite's eyes, but his uninterrupted chanting continued without stopping.

To Xia Shou's surprise, Sprite stepped back!
He was subconsciously trying to create distance!

This means he's trying to dodge!

Sprite, who has never dodged any damage before, is now trying to dodge. What does this mean?
This means that the damage is irreversible!
