Ai Si leaned back as far as she could, and the sword's tip scraped past her uniform, cutting off a few strands of her flying golden hair.

Ai Si's eyes lit up with fighting spirit, and her sword movement suddenly became wild.

The silver sword no longer pursued precise blocking, but instead forcibly broke through Liu's defenses at a faster speed. The two weapons collided seven times in a second, sparks exploding like fireworks.

Liu was forced to retreat continuously, and every time he blocked with the wooden sword, his arm trembled slightly. In a pure strength contest, [Sword Princess] ultimately had higher ability values ​​and was superior.

but……

Liu's strength does not come from her swordsmanship. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, opened her lips, and chanted softly:

“—The now distant forest sky. The infinite stars inlaid in the endless night sky respond to my ignorant voice and grant me the protection of the stars once again. Give light and mercy to those who have abandoned you—Come, wandering wind, wandering traveler…”

Ais noticed that Liu was chanting magic, and in an instant, the rhythm of the battle quickly changed.

"Wake up!"

Compared to Ryu's medium to long magic chants, Ais's short magic chants are faster.

Almost in an instant, Aisi's long golden hair was slightly lifted by a gust of wind, and the green magic whirlwind wrapped around the silver-white Sword of Despair in an instant, and the sword body was suddenly wrapped in a layer of flowing wind barrier.

Ai Si launched a quick and fierce attack, rushing out in just a moment, sparks flying. The two retreated at the same time, and then approached again in an instant. As the sword shadows crossed, the air was cut with a sharp whistling sound.

With [Wind Spirit Sprint] activated, Ai Si's dexterity, agility and attack power were significantly improved. Like golden lightning, the wielding silver sword wove a web of death in the air, forcing Liu to retreat step by step.

With every block, Liu felt a numbness in her palms. Under the sheer speed suppression, her chants were repeatedly interrupted.

Good thing...

After persisting for several rounds, Liu's magic finally recovered!

"Fly across the skies, gallop across the wilderness, speeding past all things. Embracing the brilliance of the stars, I conquer my enemies—the Wind of Light!"

The moment the magic was completed, countless tiny light bullets appeared around Liu's body, circling her like stars. The next second, these light bullets suddenly exploded, turning into a dense rain of light, pouring towards Ais!

Aisi's pupils shrank slightly, but her reaction was not slow at all. She swung her sword suddenly, and the wind blade collided head-on with the light bullet!

"Boom boom boom——!"

The shockwave of the explosion raged through the training ground, sending up thick smoke and dust. Even under double gravity, Liu and Ais's speed and magic release were still extremely fast.

In the smoke and dust, Ai Si's figure suddenly rushed out, with the sword of wind pointing directly at Liu's chest!

Liu had anticipated this, and while blocking with his wooden sword, he instantly retreated several meters, pulling away again, keeping a distance of about ten meters between them.

The sound of heavy breathing echoed in the training ground.

Ais's golden hair was stained with beads of sweat, but the fighting spirit in her eyes was more intense than ever: "[Gale] has indeed... become stronger."

If it was LV4 Liu, he would have locked onto the enemy with that thrust just now, but LV5 Liu saw through the move at the critical moment and blocked it in time.

Liu swung his wooden sword into a beautiful sword flower, and a lingering light spirit danced in his green hair:

"Each each other."

"Then... from now on I'm going to give it my all."

"Let's take over"

The brief spell was like the prelude to a storm. In an instant, a cyan whirlwind, even more violent than before, enveloped her body, the wind pressure creating spiderweb-like cracks on the ground of the training ground.

Ariel is a magic with wind attribute, a very short magic that wraps the body with wind to enhance attack, defense, speed and short-distance flight ability.

Output power can be adjusted through 2 different chants.

"Strike" is the second stage of [Wind Sprint].

When Ai Si finished speaking, the protection of wind spread from the sword to the whole body, and the space around Ai Si was distorted by the high-speed flow of magic power.

Liu's pupils shrank slightly. She could clearly feel that the oppressive feeling emitted by Ai Si at this moment was infinitely close to the level of LV6.

But the elf girl did not retreat. Instead, she raised the wooden sword above her head and began to chant a more solemn spell:

“When the mission is faithfully fulfilled…”

The tip of the wooden sword emanated pure white light, drawing a sacred path in the air.

Chapter 86 Aisi: Finally Became a Blonde Loser

“When the mission is faithfully fulfilled…”

The tip of the wooden sword emanated pure white light, drawing a sacred path in the air.

"Libra will become the fortress of balanced order..."

The white light transformed into a flowing magic circle, slowly spinning under Liu's feet.

Isn't it [Wind of Light]?

Seeing the difference in the chanting text, Ai Si immediately became alert. This was a new magic.

Aisi didn't know what Liu's new magic was, but seeing the magic power constantly bursting out, she knew that if she gave Liu the chance to complete chanting the new magic, she might fall into a passive state.

Therefore, Ai Si did not give her opponent more time to prepare. She instantly turned into a golden meteor and rushed forward. There were even vacuum ripples on the trajectory of the Wind Sword.

"A crown of incorruptibility, a lamp that destroys evil!"

Liu dodged sideways at the critical moment, and the magic circle moved accordingly, unfolding a translucent barrier the moment the sword reached his body.

The Wind Sword collided with the barrier, emitting dazzling sparks.

“In the name of the goddess…”

The chanting continued, and Ryu's green hair danced like a living thing under the stimulation of magic power. Seven small magic circles appeared around his body and rotated in a circle.

Ais's attacks grew increasingly fierce, using the power of wind to flexibly change direction in mid-air, attacking from all angles. Each strike precisely struck the weak points of the barrier, and fine cracks began to appear on the protective shield.

“Like footprints streaking across the sky, dotting the earth with brilliant stars!”

Just as the barrier was about to break, Ryu finished his final chant.

Seven small magic circles simultaneously emitted dazzling light, transforming into seven prism-like barriers.

““——Justice flows forever!””

When the last spell fell, bright starlight suddenly bloomed around Liu.

Countless glittering crystals appeared out of thin air, slowly spinning around her like fragments of stars.

Each crystal reshaped itself in the light, transforming into a variety of gleaming weapons: slender swords, sharp daggers, ornately decorated wands, rune-inscribed shields...

"Chickweed!"

Following Liu's clear shout, a blood-red crystal suddenly shattered and turned into a stream of fire that poured into her body.

In an instant——

"boom!"

Blazing white flames ignited from her limbs, the blade of the wooden sword was wrapped in boiling flames, and the leaping tongues of fire drew petal-like trajectories in the air.

This is the signature magic of the former leader of the Astralia family, [Red Flower] Alyse Raphael.

Use flames to grant extreme speed and explosive power, allowing level 2 adventurers to rival level 1 legendary combat skills!

But at this moment, Liu is even better!

The skill [Fairy Star Singing] is activated to enhance the magic effect.

The surrounding weapon crystals resonated simultaneously, and starlight began to mix into the flames, leaving burning star marks on the ground with every step.

The skill [Spirit Recharge] activates. When attacking, the more spiritual power is consumed, the greater the increase in "Power". It automatically activates once spiritual power is consumed.

The fire of the soul ignited in the depths of Liu's lake-blue eyes, and his mental power turned into tangible energy ripples. With every point of mental energy consumed, the flame became three points stronger. In the end, the whole person seemed to have turned into a human-shaped torch, and even the tips of his hair were scattered with particles of light.

Aisi's pupils couldn't help but widen slightly. In her perception of wind, Liu was like a supernova about to explode. It was not just the power of fire, but the embodiment of the entire will of [Gas]!

This is the true peak posture that inherits all the ties of the past and present, and is unique to Liu Liang!

Ryu's figure faded into thin air amidst the flames—

"boom!"

The blazing flames exploded into a blazing white halo on the ground, and her true form transformed into a stream of fire as she charged forward. As soon as Ais raised her Wind Sword, the flaming wooden sword slashed down at a speed beyond vision!

"Qiang——!"

At the moment the swords collided, the blue storm and the red fire wave collided, and the ground of the entire training ground collapsed in the elemental turbulence.

In the gravity room, the speed of both sides remained unchanged. The flaming wooden sword drew a blazing arc of light, and the air was burned and distorted wherever the blade passed.

Although Ai Si's wind sword was as fast as lightning, her slender arms had begun to tremble slightly in the pure power confrontation.

"boom!"

Another heavy slash, Liu's sword force was as unstoppable as a volcanic eruption.

Ais was forced to retreat three steps, and the wind magic wrapped around the silver sword was constantly being eroded by the flames.

The elf girl seized the opportunity and suddenly changed her tactics.

"Five Lights Slash!"

The wooden sword transformed into five lines of fire and attacked simultaneously, each strike landing precisely at the same spot on the Wind Sword.

The first slash shattered the wind barrier, the second slash shook off the defensive posture, and by the fifth slash, Ai Si's sword path had become completely disordered.

"Final blow!"

Liu's figure suddenly disappeared in the flames, and when he reappeared, he had leaped above Ais's head. The wooden sword chopped down vertically with the momentum of burning everything. Ais hurriedly raised her sword to block it.

"clang!!!"

With a deafening metallic clang, the Wind Sword was forcibly brought down upon Aisi's shoulder. Aisi's knee buckled uncontrollably, slamming heavily onto the ground. The aftermath of the blow cracked the specially constructed surface of the training ground like a spiderweb.

The flames gradually dissipated, revealing a scene where the winner had already been decided:

Liu's wooden sword rested firmly on the side of Ais's neck, the flickering flames on the blade illuminating the blonde girl's incredulous expression...

"I... lost." Ai Si said softly. This was the first time she lost in a pure swordsmanship competition since she became LV5.

Liu sheathed the wooden sword, the embers of the flame slowly dissipating from her fingertips. She looked at Ai Si, who was still a little dazed, and said softly, "Sword Princess, this isn't about strength or weakness; it's just that we're on different paths."

The scorching air in the training ground gradually cooled, and Ryu's voice came clearly:

"In the days of Astraea's Familia, we faced the corrupted Dark Faction. Those demons in human form forced me to hone a fighting style specifically designed to target humans: the purifying power of fire, the blade of righteous judgment."

"But you are different. Your sword was born to kill monsters." Liu said.

She hates monsters very much and believes that they should be destroyed, so she awakened a skill called [Avenger].

Princess of Vengeance: Increases the attack power of all monsters to a high level, and dragons to an extreme level. The effect of this skill varies with the level of hatred, with the stronger the hatred, the greater the effect. Loki considers this skill to be the strongest damage-dealing skill in the history of the Netherworld. However, most weapons cannot withstand its power and are easily damaged.

It is precisely because of this skill that Ai Si is able to defeat the strong with the weak when facing dungeon monsters. When the Loki clan was conquering the dungeon, they almost used the LV5 Ai Si as a LV6.

Ke Liu is an elf, not a monster.

So today, Ai Si's true strength was not fully displayed.

Both of them are powerful warriors at LV5, but when facing different enemies, they will show completely different fighting postures. This is more like a kind of...complementarity.

Ai Si stared blankly at the magic of wind flowing in her palm. The tyrannical aura that had been lingering on the sword for years seemed particularly quiet at this moment. She suddenly realized that this was the first time someone did not simply praise her strength, but truly understood the unforgettable obsession in her power.

"Next time, we can go to the dungeon for a competition. There, Miss Ais can fully unleash her...power against monsters. Speaking of which, it's time for me to go to the dungeon as well."

Xingjian usually trains at the [Canned Workshop]. Since the battle with Black Goliath, he hasn't been deep into the dungeon for a long time.

Although his ability value has already reached the standard, he lacks the key "great achievement", so he hurried forward, otherwise he would not be able to fulfill his promise to Goddess Astraea.

………………

The next day.

The dawn mist had not yet dissipated, and the streets of Orario were filled with the coolness of morning dew. Xingjian walked into the rising sun and arrived at the guild headquarters. The stone building looked solemn and majestic in the morning light.

At the entrance of the guild, Aegina Zul had been waiting at the counter for a long time. The half-elf girl pushed her glasses, and a trace of worry flashed across her deep green eyes the moment she saw Xingjian.

"You asked me to come here so early. It seems this is not an ordinary request."

Aegina said softly, her voice carrying the sharpness of a consultant.

Xingjian smiled slightly and did not deny it.

Aegina led Xingjian through the corridor and came to a quiet reading room. The heavy wooden bookshelves were filled with adventurers' records and maps, and the air was filled with the scent of parchment and ink.

The half-elf girl closed the door and turned to look directly at Xingjian: "So, where are you going this time?"

"Big Tree Maze."
