Chapter 223: On par with Ota?
A torrential downpour, fueled by lightning, fell from the sky, its raindrops incredibly powerful.

Just a single drop of thunder and rain, with enough power to render a level-two adventurer incapable of fighting.

Large numbers of adventurers were hit by the lightning arrows, howling in pain and numbness.

"Why are they targeting us specifically?!"

"You only pick on the soft ones, don't pick on me, okay?"

"I want to fight a good battle with an evenly matched opponent, not be a clown here and get defeated in one move."

Hedin, standing in the distance, had a cold expression. His lightning attack was merciful enough; at least being hit by his arrows would only result in loss of mobility.

His life was saved.

Of course, if they insist on getting up and fighting again, he wouldn't mind giving these cannon fodder a few more thunderbolts to push them to their limits.

Lily gritted her teeth, listening to the screams coming from the communication magic stone and the flashing lightning on the distant battlefield.

"White Elf Wand? His combat power is too exaggerated, isn't it? Currently, Hegni, the four Flame Gold Warriors, and Allen have already been suppressed by our side."

But who will stand against Hedin's white magic wand?

Lily gritted her teeth as she watched this scene. "Adventurers near Ryurion, help Ryurion quickly defeat Hegni!"

She found herself revealed again; Ryu and Ais had just advanced to Lv6, and Tsubaki was also undergoing her first temporary level-up.

Therefore, the sudden increase in panel attributes cannot be efficiently converted into combat power.

If Liang Yue were here, she would quickly understand the current situation.

The sudden increase in level is something that only Bell or Liang Yue could grasp so quickly.

It's like someone who's used to driving a sedan suddenly starting to test drive a supercar with monster-like performance.

Before driving a sports car, there is always a professional sports car team that provides one-on-one driving training to the employer.

Due to the time constraints, Ryu, Ais, and the others could only adapt to this power while fighting the enemy.

…………

Liang Yue was wearing an invisibility cloak, and as the main force began to assemble and attack, he dropped some specially made daggers along the way.

Afterwards, following his premonition, he approached the island's arena.

"If I'm not mistaken, Ota should be waiting for me here. Then let me see just how strong Ota is now."

Ota, whose base stats are Lv7, can temporarily boost his overall strength to Lv8 by summoning his magical war boar.
Of course, this ability will consume a great deal of one's physical and mental strength.

He put away his invisibility cloak and walked toward the arena gates.

Another colosseum? It's such a familiar place.

Liang Yue looked around with a sense of wonder, noting that many countries in the world had similar arenas.

After all, monsters and dungeons exist in this world.

In this medieval world where a select few possess extraordinary powers of swords and magic, the arena, which reveres individual combat prowess, is naturally very popular.

Pan En leaped down from the high walls of the Colosseum and stood in front of Liang Yue.

He had blue, center-parted hair, and now, holding a long sword, he landed on the ground, glaring at Liang Yue through gritted teeth.

"Liang Yue! Prepare to die!"

Liang Yue looked at the man who was roaring at her. The man was short and had blue hair. As a member of Freya's Familia, he was quite loyal to Freya.

He was as tall as Bell, only a pitiful 165 cm, so his angry appearance reminded people of an angry lamb.

"Further words are useless; only sufficient strength allows one to do whatever one pleases."

"You bastard! Prepare to die!"

Pan En approached Liang Yue with a furious expression. Liang Yue gripped the Sloth sword in her right hand, and the Selfless Sword Qi was gathering power within its sheath.

Seeing Liang Yue gathering her strength, Pan En's expression became extremely serious.

Whether they approached or moved away, the subsequent attacks were exceptionally fierce.

Pan En accelerated again, and Liang Yue's right hand, holding the Sloth, instantly drew its sheath.

The sword aura, emanating a white, freezing light, erupted instantly, sweeping past the opponent's figure at a speed that Pan En could not possibly dodge.

"Ding!"

The sword energy clashed with Pan En's longsword, producing a metallic clang. Then, Pan En's longsword was cleaved in two by the sword energy, and red blood mist erupted from his chest.

Then, he drew his sword and unleashed a burst of sword energy, sending Pan En flying once again.

When the other person landed, their wounds and most of their body were frozen solid, rendering them unable to move.

"Is this all you've got? Paine, if you want to take your anger out on me, you'd better at least be able to keep up with me."

It was still a single strike; Pain's strength was even weaker than Bell's threat.

The Sloth sword truly has a unique advantage when it comes to crushing weaker opponents.

Especially after defeating an opponent, the freezing ability can temporarily stop their injuries.

Liang Yue closed her eyes to sense the battlefield behind her and connected it to the Selfless Sword Domain using the daggers she had placed in advance.

Therefore, there are now a total of 192 weapons within the Liangyue Sword Domain.

These are the weapons that adventurers who have lost their ability to fight have "lost".

Liang Yue stepped into the arena, and at the same time, Ota, who was at the edge of the arena, also landed inside.

"I've been waiting for you for so long, Liang Yue!"

On Ota's back were three weapons: two black swords and a greatsword forged from Udeus's materials.

"I'll give you one move, now use your full power! Bring it on, risk everything!"

As Ota was saying this, he threw a black knife from his back in front of Liang Yue.

A series of streaks of light flashed rapidly across Liang Yue's body:
War fervor, Flowing Heart, Selfless Sword Aura, Automatic Parry, Weapon Control...

He amplified all the buffs he could with his own abilities, and then picked up the black longsword that the other party had thrown at him.

At the same time, Otto raised his black longsword with both hands, closed his eyes, and began to chant:
"Silver Moon's mercy, golden fields, command me to be a fierce fighting boar. Bearing the goddess's divine will, gallop forward!"

"War Pig!"

His entire body began to shimmer with golden light, which then all condensed onto the longsword in his hand.

The entire black longsword suddenly burst forth with golden light, as if he were wielding a sword of light formed from the sun, its tip aimed at Liang Yue.

Meanwhile, this scene is being watched by all the residents, adventurers, and gods of Orario.

Those who weren't on the battlefield were also eager to know who would win between the two.

On one side is Orario's strongest combat force, and on the other side is Liang Yue, the adventurer swordsman who has reached Lv5 the fastest in Orario.

Even though there was a huge gap in strength between the two sides, everyone wanted to see how Liang Yue would perform when facing Ota.

Can we injure or even defeat it?

Liang Yue took a deep breath, and as the Selfless Sword Qi circulated within his body, his aura returned to its optimal state.

He began to actively listen to the breath of all things, and actively sensed the laws governing the passive iron-cutting technique of the Extreme Ghost Sword Art.

"Then Ota, let me show you my ultimate move. Extreme Demon Sword Technique - Storm Style!" The sky, ground, and walls of the entire central area of ​​the arena were suddenly covered by blue and white sword energy.

A total of 192 weapons were released from Liang Yue's Selfless Sword Domain.

These weapons were evenly distributed on the surrounding walls, completely enveloping the central area of ​​the arena in a domain of sword energy.

Ota's figure was frozen in place by the sword energy, while Liang Yue teleported to one of the weapons.

He then launched a high-speed slash at Ota.

Stunned by the sword energy, Ota can only barely use his weapon to protect his entire body in order to defend against Liang Yue's high-speed movement and slashing attacks.

Liang Yue's figure completely transformed into a streak of light, and then, like a raging storm, she relentlessly slashed at Ota with immense power and speed.

His figure kept teleporting across different weapons before unleashing another displacement slash at Ota.

It's very hard, not just hard.

Ota was already two levels higher than Liang Yue, and in addition, the opponent had development ability, abnormal resistance, magic defense, invulnerability, and other skills and magic.

All of this has led to Ota's own defensive capabilities reaching an extremely exaggerated level.

Liang Yue's figure constantly shifted within the sword energy domain, even creating six afterimages simultaneously within the domain.

It looked as if six Liang Yue were simultaneously unleashing high-speed displacement slashes at Ota.

In less than three seconds, Liang Yue had already unleashed two to three hundred high-speed displacement slashes.

Liang Yue landed on the ground, and then all the weapons within the sword energy domain were put away by Liang Yue.

He unleashed his final strike at Ota.

At the same time, the longsword in Ota's hand, which was shining with golden light, dimmed slightly due to the defensive attack.

Ota also slashed his attack towards Liang Yue.

The moment the attacks clashed, a dazzling light enveloped the entire arena.

The ground was trampled by both sides, leaving huge dents.

"boom!"

An astonishing explosion erupted, sending black smoke soaring high into the sky, followed by shockwaves that spread wildly in all directions.

Liang Yue and Ota were thrown backward by the impact, creating a huge trench in the ground.

Ota's back smashed through the walls of the arena, while Liang Yue, having released a sword energy shockwave from a distance, was instantly propelled into the air.

At that moment, Liang Yue and Ota's black blades shattered simultaneously, turning into countless fragments that fell to the ground.

Ota waved his hand, dispersing the billowing black smoke with a single stroke.

"Are you evenly matched? No, considering the difference in levels, you have the upper hand."

That was a really good shot!

Liang Yue snorted coldly in the air, "I didn't expect that my attack just now didn't hurt you?"

Yes, the attack just now only caused Ota's back to crash into the wall and collapse; his whole body, like Liang Yue's, was unharmed.

Ota threw away the hilt of his sword and took out a jet-black greatsword—the Black Sword!
"What follows is nothing but pure struggle!"

Liang Yue spread her hands and took out Sloth and Envy from the Selfless Sword Domain.

Since we can't defeat a character like Ota in a short time, we should just wear down his strength little by little!

It's likely that this battle with Ota will grant him an extremely generous boost to his stats.

"Extreme Demon Sword Technique: Meteor Fall!"

In the sky, the Sword Domain of Selflessness unfolded behind Liang Yue.

A blue-white sword aura light curtain formed behind Liang Yue like ripples on water, and then nearly two hundred weapons appeared and disappeared within it.

Armored weapons, with their blades pointed at Ota on the ground.

"I'm curious, Ota. How long can you maintain that composure of a powerful warrior?"

All that could be seen were countless weapons turning into streaks of light in the sky, like meteors carrying terrifying kinetic energy, falling towards the ground.

Ota held the Black Sword in front of him, and nearly two hundred weapons, like nearly two hundred streaks of light, slammed into the blade of the giant sword.

Then it was bounced away by the Black Sword and sent flying in all directions.

Dust filled the entire arena.

Liang Yue snapped her fingers, and the large number of armed men who had fallen into the arena vanished instantly.

He then teleported to the Selfless Sword Domain behind him.

Ota watched this scene with a serious expression. "It seems you can recycle these weapons indefinitely? That's interesting."

Liang Yue smiled. "Guess if it can be recycled indefinitely?"

The first salvo failed to achieve its purpose, so Liang Yue simply stepped through the air, as if she were walking on aerial stairs.

Within the Selfless Sword Domain behind him, weapons were continuously being unleashed at Ota.

Ota, who remained on the ground, tried his best to shoot down or destroy all incoming weapons.

Seeing that the other side had destroyed forty or fifty borrowed weapons, Liang Yue once again teleported the unclaimed weapons from the island into the Wuwo Sword Domain.

Since Ota wants to destroy his weapons, he'll just have to fight him to the death.

Let's see whether his weapons run out first or Ota's stamina runs out first.

At this moment, there were already more than a hundred weapons destroyed by Ota on the ground.

Ota, however, remained unfazed and continued to defend against Liang Yue's attacks.

Liang Yue herself was expending energy to maintain the Selfless Sword Domain, while Ota was expending energy due to the physical strain caused by wielding his weapon.

Judging from the current situation, it's really hard to say who will suffer greater losses.

In fact, Liang Yue had already prepared nearly a thousand standard swords in advance. If the long-range Meteor Fall attack could be effective, he wouldn't mind continuing to expend resources like this.

"Liang Yue, is this the kind of boring trick you want to use to wear me down?"

Ota looked at Liang Yue and asked, "This is the Sword Saint Liang Yue?"

Liang Yue's lips curled up. "It's a very low-level provocation, but I fall for it."

"Then let's continue the fight!"

He landed on the ground, with the Selfless Sword Domain continuously unfolding behind him.

Sloth clashed with the opponent's Black Sword, and chilling frost extended along the blade of the Black Sword toward Ota's arm.

At the same time, a tremendous force came from the Black Sword, not only freezing Fei Sen's air but also sending Liang Yue flying.

Liang Yue felt the unreasonable force emanating from Ota, and the difference in their stats was ridiculously large.

Ota pressed his advantage, quickly closing the gap between the two.

However, the next moment, dozens or even hundreds of sharp blades poured out from the Selfless Sword Domain behind Liang Yue.

Once again, like a meteor, it crashed into Ota's figure...
