N-A-A Chapter 45 The Demon Sword. The Elucidator
Chapter 45 The Demon Sword. The Elucidator
"roar--"
A deafening roar erupted once more. This time, a black shadow identical to its head burst forth from its massive body. The shadow was much larger than its main body. Accompanied by its roar, the terrifying sound waves shattered the water prison surrounding it, scattering the debris in all directions.
Lion Roar! The golden-haired lion's signature move, using sonic attacks alone to defeat most enemies.
Huo Yuhao smiled wryly upon seeing this; it really wasn't that simple after all...
Fortunately, he had anticipated the attack methods of the golden-haired lion mastiff and had blocked his hearing in advance.
Its large mouth, full of fangs, opened wide and lunged at Huo Yuhao to bite.
With a flap of its eight wings, the wind whistled past its ears as it plunged into the ground, dodging the bite.
He hadn't originally expected to be able to trap the golden-haired lion with this move, but at least the water environment was ready.
Deep purple lightning snakes began to move around his body. Lightning would bring dryness, but Huo Yuhao still spared no effort to expend his soul power to maintain the humid environment around him.
The golden-haired lion's power mainly comes from its extremely strong body, so naturally, its defense is also quite terrifying. It is difficult for my attacks to break through its defense, and with only thirty-six levels of soul power, it cannot afford to continue to wear itself down.
The opportunity is fleeting; with the powerful piercing properties of Extreme Lightning, all that's needed is to create an opening.
To defeat numerical monsters, you can only rely on mechanics and skill.
The golden-haired lion mastiff cannot fly; it mainly relies on its own strength to jump. So, before it could bite Huo Yuhao, it began to fall.
No matter how powerful it is, it cannot defy the laws of physics. That is, when it has nowhere to gain leverage in the air, it is at its weakest defensive capabilities.
Instead of using mental detection to track the golden lion's descent, they used their eyes, not just looking at the lion's lower limbs, but taking its entire body into view, using all five senses to capture its entirety.
Although the fall only lasted a brief two seconds, to Huo Yuhao's senses, those two seconds felt terrifyingly long.
Finally, the golden-haired lion mastiff landed on its hind legs first, an action that inevitably exposed its belly.
The lion mastiff is both a lion and a dog. The appearance of felines and canines in one species cannot be called a genetic mutation, but it is at least a magical Frankenstein's monster.
But it's obvious that for such reptiles, the belly is always the weakest point, and it's currently the only place where Huo Yuhao can break through its defenses.
He was already ready to sprint, and stepped forward with his right foot. The lightning of ultimate power surged into his right foot, stimulating the muscles in his leg.
It shot out like a spring, transforming into a bolt of lightning that hurtled towards the golden-haired lion-dog.
[Breathing of Thunder, First Form, Lightning Flash.]
His right hand was completely covered with dark blue dragon scales, and his claws were sharp, with dark purple lightning so dense that it seemed to be overflowing with plasma.
The right hand, transformed into a dragon claw, swung down forcefully, and the feel told Huo Yuhao that he had caught it!
"Oh……"
The golden-haired lion let out a miserable howl as a large amount of blood flowed from its belly, which had been ripped open by the dragon's claws. Extreme lightning with immense destructive power seeped into the wound, continuously ravaging its body.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao secretly felt grateful for Baili Du's guidance.
Baili Du advised him not to rush to obtain a soul ring for his Deep Blue Glazed Dragon Martial Soul, but to spend more time comprehending the [Ultimate Water] and [Ultimate Lightning], exploring his own usage, which meant delving into his own Martial Soul.
Therefore, even though Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had said several times that she would take him to the far north to obtain high-level soul rings and soul bones, Huo Yuhao still did not agree.
I only injured the golden-haired lion mastiff; that doesn't count as a victory. Moreover, this golden-haired lion mastiff has the characteristic of becoming more frenzied in battle the more injured it is. I had injured this guy a few times before, but in the end, I was defeated by its almost insane counterattack and was literally shaken to death by the shockwave.
Huo Yuhao exhaled, his cyan-gold vertical pupils glowing with a deep blue light, his dragon scales all retracting, and a mysterious aura emanating from his body.
Nothing particularly noteworthy happened, but the golden-haired lion-dog's wound bled even faster, gathering into a blood-red water sphere in front of Huo Yuhao.
The blood contains more than 90% water, and the ultimate water itself has the ability to control water. As long as it is water, Huo Yuhao can control it, provided that Huo Yuhao's mental strength is sufficient.
This already lives up to the high value of "ultimate".
However, this method was far too cruel... Huo Yuhao couldn't help but turn his head away and close his eyes. To be honest, he didn't want to do it.
"I'm sorry... I used such a shameless method."
The once magnificent golden-haired lion mastiff quickly withered, its body swayed unwillingly, and then crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Those brownish-yellow eyes were fixed on Huo Yuhao, seemingly filled with resentment.
Your blood has been drained; no matter how much strength you have, it's meaningless.
A emotionless electronic voice came through:
Congratulations to [ID0001 Huo Yuhao] for passing level 2! You have completed the assessment before level 40. Tactical and strategic evaluation is underway, and rewards are being calculated...
[Overall Tactical and Strategic Evaluation: A-]
[Reward: Demon Sword - Elucidator]
Huo Yuhao was taken aback. A weapon as a reward? Back in level 1, it only slightly increased his physical strength...
The golden-haired lion-dog's corpse turned into golden-black particles and dissipated, leaving behind a longsword, a black longsword.
The hilt is decorated with openwork patterns and is slightly longer than a standard one-handed sword. The blade, edge, and hilt are all pure black to the extreme. Although the blade is slightly thinner, its pure black color, like the origin of darkness, gives people a feeling of indestructibility.
The sword's edge is so sharp that no reflected light can be seen from any angle, as if even light itself has been cut through by it.
Huo Yuhao casually summoned the Demon Sword: Elucidator, which flew into his hand.
My hand felt a slight heaviness; it was so heavy! It must weigh over a thousand pounds.
He casually swung the so-called demonic sword a few times, and it seemed to be tailor-made for him, making it very easy to wield.
Looking at the longsword, Huo Yuhao felt a little disappointed. If he had defeated the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger or the Pure Blood Silver Dragon, would the reward have been even greater?
Lao Huo said you're overthinking it; no matter which soul beast you defeat, the reward is the same.
【[ID0001 Huo Yuhao], do you wish to continue the assessment? Do you wish to engage in cultivation and comprehension?】
Huo Yuhao shook his head decisively, "Log out."
……
After his consciousness returned to his body, Huo Yuhao opened his eyes.
He blinked and looked up at the storage watch with timekeeping function on his wrist.
The time flow in the [Douluo World] is different from that in the Douluo Continent. That great battle only lasted for one minute in the Douluo Continent.
I got out of bed and, sure enough, saw Black Sword lying quietly beside me.
