Chapter 214: Chapter 214: New Moon, Scythe
Clang, clang, clang!
Roger’s figure moved, successfully blocking every attack from Julianne. Despite being a witch, Julianne’s strength was frighteningly immense.
Even when facing another Transcendent-level Demon Hunter, she could absolutely dominate.
However, unfortunately for her, she was facing Roger.
“To possess such strength right upon entering the Transcendent level, you’re no ordinary Demon Hunter. You must come from a Blood Hunter family!”
Roger didn’t make a sound. Although he seemed to be handling it with ease, he was actually going all out.
His spiritual power was continuously being consumed in his mind, and Julianne was becoming increasingly aggressive. Her figure flickered in the shadows, almost appearing instantaneously.
If she chose to flee, Roger might not have been able to catch her. Gradually, Roger also unraveled the mystery of Julianne’s abilities.
It was that black garment draped over her body.
Not only was it Julianne’s weapon, but it was also the external manifestation of her strange Spell. No matter how many pieces it was sliced into, it would automatically return to her body.
With this realization, an idea struck Roger, and he slowly retracted the Quinn Dharma Seal that enveloped his body.
Indeed, without the Dharma Seal’s protection, Roger’s reaction speed dramatically decreased, soon becoming hesitant. After a few exchanges, Julianne found an opportunity to leave a wound on his shoulder.
“Where is your ability now?”
Julianne let out a cold laugh.
“It seems that this ability is not infinite after all…”
“Your Spell isn’t infinitely usable either, is it?”
Roger sneered, stepping on the brown earth, while his wound was healing at an astonishing rate.
Seeing Roger’s recovery ability far surpassing that of a normal Transcendent, a flash of understanding crossed Julianne’s eyes.
“Tell me, which family do you come from?”
“After you die, I could send your corpse back to your family’s graveyard. Oh… maybe I’ll keep it.”
Julianne’s eyes greedily sized up Roger’s body.
Such a body was the perfect medium for certain types of Black Witchcraft.
“What do you plan to do with my body?”
Roger sneered, retreating as he fought.
“Thinking of running now? Too late!”
Julianne’s speed suddenly increased, her garment falling clean off her. Her eyes glowed intensely, and her spiritual power coalesced, forming sharp spikes!
“Break!”
A piercing pain shot through Roger’s mind—the spiritual power of a New Moon-level witch was still too much for him.
The Quinn Dharma Seal formed by his spiritual power in his mind blazed brightly. In the instant the two forces clashed, Roger finally pinpointed the trajectory of Julianne’s rapid movements.
“So that’s how it is!”
Ignoring the attacks from Julianne that could land on him at any moment, Roger moved like a nimble leopard, side-stepping to the right and lunging forward.
His body stretched gracefully in mid-air, his chest core swelling madly as infinite strength poured into his limbs.
“Caught you!”
In fact, from the beginning of the duel, it was not Julianne’s actual body that was relentlessly attacking. A New Moon-level body couldn’t possibly move with such near-instantaneous speed.
The one who could do this was only the Spiritual Body.
But not an ordinary Spiritual Body.
Julianne had cultivated her soul into something akin to a Monster Spirit through Black Witchcraft. Her Spiritual Body moved quickly, only revealing her physical form when launching an attack.
The things she had said previously were just to paralyze Roger, making him mistake her ability to move rapidly through darkness and shadows.
Such a misconception was extremely fatal in battle.
In fact, the real Julianne had been hiding nearby, and in the recent clash of spiritual power, the automatic counterattack by the Quinn Dharma Seal gave Roger a clue to Julianne’s physical location.
Killing the physical body would naturally cause other Spiritual Bodies to crumble without a fight!
“Swoosh!”
The Julianne who had been attacking Roger suddenly vanished and reappeared 10 meters away at another spot.
But Roger was not slow either, his power erupted fully, bringing earth-shattering changes with an Extreme Force of 7 points.
Added to that were the extra enhancements to his physical fitness after the Green Grass Trial and the improvements from the spoils of war in the Hunter’s Cabin.
Although Roger had just entered the Transcendent realm, his combat power was already close to the peak of an ordinary Transcendent.
Even more so!
“I told you, you should have run away earlier!”
Roger descended from the sky, his Steel Sword moving both quickly and slowly, the lightness of a cat and the weight of a bear merging in that moment.
Someday the Dharma Seal might be integrated into his swordsmanship, but at this time, with just his swordsmanship, Roger was confident he could completely vanquish this woman before him!
Without the soul to control it, the body naturally couldn’t move; Roger just then remembered that during the recent fight, Julianne’s movements seemed almost aimless.
In fact, many times she inadvertently blocked certain directions, probably to avoid any fallout from the fighting that might damage her hidden body.
“Burst!”
“Bear Pressing!”
Facing Roger’s desperate strike, Julianne’s expression became particularly serious as her monstrous momentum shattered the illusions around her, and her Spiritual Body merged with the one behind her.
The black clothes stripped away from her body, forming a dark bone scythe in her hands!
The crescent moon behind her was like the Abyss, captivating and deep, as she made an exaggerated upward swing with her scythe.
Boom!
The collision of weapons emitted a loud crash, blowing the surrounding dirt into the air; upon landing, Roger’s power gained the upper hand, temporarily suppressing Julianne.
But then the light of the Black Moon behind Julianne surged, a terrifying force channeled into the scythe, and the impact caused Roger to stagger upon landing.
“Even if you’ve found my physical body, what can you do?!”
“You’re still no match for me!”
Julianne’s beautiful face displayed a cruel smile.
“Such a pity for your body!”
The New Moon and the scythe merged into one, and Julianne, with her momentum greatly boosted, firmly suppressed Roger.
She began to exert force, and blood markings started appearing on her skin surface, clearly indicating that her body couldn’t withstand the violent power and was therefore getting damaged.
Confronted with a wave of power surging like the sea, Roger did not panic but smiled instead; his Steel Sword slightly shifted, its blade grazing past the scythe Julianne held, slashing diagonally.
In the next moment, both of their attacks landed on each other’s bodies simultaneously!
“Thinking of dying together with me?”
“You think you’re worthy?!”
Julianne sneered as a burst of light exploded when Roger’s Steel Sword struck her body.
At the same time, Julianne’s attack was deeply blocked by an invisible barrier.
“What’s going on?”
Surprise flashed across Julianne’s face but was gone in the blink of an eye, the next second Roger roared, delivering three consecutive slashes to the same spot!
Crack!
Julianne’s witch body shattered in response, and a deep, bone-visible wound appeared on Roger’s chest, but even so, he kept relentlessly launching attacks.
Endless strength poured into his body from the earth under his feet, swiftly healing his body. Unrestrained violence exploded in his chest; at this moment, Roger had only one thought in mind.
“Slash! Slash! Slash!”
