Chapter 105 The Sword King! Part-3.

Inside the SSA

Time left: [00 h: 25 m: 45 s.]

While Rio looked at the three in front of him he also glanced at the little guy standing beside him.

'I wonder if this little guy would be able to survive for even a few seconds… sigh, we are outnumbered this time…' (Rio)

Just when Rio was contemplating what to do next, others were also hesitating a little bit, thus the situation suddenly turned into an awkward stalemate, with both parties glaring at each other warily.

Suddenly Liam waved his hands and a huge magic circle appeared under the huge dragon.

[Shadow dragon's blessing: transform!]

The huge dragon under Liam suddenly started to transform, its whole body which was made of shadows suddenly started to compress and take a humanoid shape. In just a few seconds the huge dragon transformed into a teenage girl wearing a pitch-black dress.

Ellie's pitch-black hair waved in the howling winds and her golden serpent-like pupils glowed like a predator's under the dim environment because of the dark clouds in the sky.

'Ah, so that is the dragon Liam contracted and used to fight against Fade as his last effort… hmm, but he is now using her powers to fight me…' (Rio)

Looking at that girl, Rio was reminded of the emotional final fight between Liam with Fade.

Liam from the original novel was dead set on Kira and never noticed the loyalty and emotions of Ellie towards him.

In the final moments of the fight, when Liam's body below his chest was destroyed and his guts spilled out, Ellie sacrificed her life essence to save Liam from death, but she failed and both of them died in each other's embrace.

Liam and Ellie signed the contract that binds their life and death together, if one dies the other will also die, moreover, this contract can't be broken even if both of them want to break it. Only death can separate them in this life.

Glancing at Ellie who was glaring at him with an excited look on her face, Rio could sense great trouble coming his way.

'Her loyalty to Liam is too high, I won't be able to hit Liam effectively as long as she is on the battlefield…' (Rio)

Using the 'Forced Summon' skill of the artifact Liam summoned Ellie without using his mana, but he still needed to provide a constant supply of mana to her to maintain her.

Her mana consumption is huge and she can't use strength above rank A+ because Liam can't sustain the mana output.

'But the main problem is-' (Rio)

A black scales-covered punch directly reached Rio's face in the blink of an eye.

[Shadow Dragon magic: Instant movement!]

Without waiting for Liam's order Ellie directly launched her attacks because she knew that she couldn't maintain this form for more than fifteen minutes.

[Sword Intent!]

[Elemental sword arts: Fire type: Vertical descent!]

Rio's Sword moved covered with intense blue flames powered by sword intent, and swung insanely fast, the movement of the sword created air pressure that even caused the droplets of rain to be slashed and vaporize on touch.

The sword collided with Ellie's punch but didn't stop and directly split her whole hand in two. But surprisingly Ellie didn't even flinch and she raised her other hand and cast a spell.

Rio already had expected this to happen.

[Elemental Sword arts: Fire type: horizontal shift!]

Rio's sword bent mid-attack and struck Ellie's body horizontally splitting her body in two with that attack.

The sudden attack interrupted Ellie from casting but she still had a huge mocking smile on her face.

A few thin strands of shadows rushed from both split halves of Ellie's body and connected her divided body, but instead of fully connecting her body, the shadow threads pushed her upper half upwards and made way for a punch to pass through her.

Link's punch appeared from directly behind Ellie and with her help it didn't damage Ellie and directly passed through her.

[Dragon Arts: Mad rush!]

Caught off guard, Link's punch directly landed on Rio's stomach. Rio flew away from the impact of the attack collided with the trees behind and finally stopped after colliding with a huge tree.

…

On the other side just when Rio flew away, Ellie's whole body connected back and a satisfied expression appeared on her face.

"Bahahaha, this is the first time I was able to land such a clean hit on that slippery guy, hahaha…" (Link)

Looking at Link being excited Liam shook his head and shouted:

"Hey!, this is not the time to be celebrating we still need to take care of that little guy…" (Liam)

"Yeah, yeah, I know-" (Link)

Before Link could say anything his danger senses tingled like crazy, his neck felt cold and a chill ran down his spine.

[Elemental Sword Art: Thunder type: Judgment!]

The sword covered in pitch black sword intent seemed to be aiming to kill this time, the attack was so fast that Link was not even able to rotate his head towards left before it came so close that the sword was already touching his skin and a little bit of blood started to drip from Link's neck.

But before the sword could move any further it stopped in track.

"I won't let you do that Rio!" (Lia)

Lia's pointed sword covered in silver aura stopped Rio's sword on time. Only Lia was fast enough to react to that attack. Not even Liam and Ellie saw it coming.

'Tsk' (Rio)

Seeing that the attack didn't work Rio jumped back, his face was still expressionless but a rare coldness appeared in his indifferent eyes.

Blood dripped from his head and covered his face before but now even Rio's mouth was also covered in blood because the previous attack made him cough blood.

'That attack broke three rib bones… this is irritating….' (Rio)

'Moreover, Ellie's presence is suppressing my 'detection skill' which caused me to be hit in the first place…' (Rio)

(Ellie is a shadow dragon, she can use a wide area of magic where the enemy can't use any detection skill. This caused Rio to be unable to predict Link's attack. Ever since Rio copied the detection skill from Jin he's been relying on it a lot, this was a mistake.)

Thinking about this Rio's eyes became even colder and killing intent flashed in his eyes for the first time in a while.

Looking at Rio's unusual behavior Link was a little flustered and swallowed his saliva.

"Easy, easy bro… we are not here to kill each other…" (Link)

While Rio glared at the four of them, he didn't notice that the brief moment Rio's killing intent appeared, his sword trembled slightly as if something had awakened in it all of a sudden.

…

Rio ignored Link's question and launched his next attack directly.

'Don't blame me for being cruel now that you have started it yourself…' (Rio)

[Sword Intent!]

[Elemental sword art: Thunder type: Death flow!]

Rio clenched his sword and pointed it toward the four, a huge amount of thunder started to blast out of Rio's sword like a beam of Light, wherever the beam went it annihilated everything. The mana consumption was huge but Rio didn't care and used his mana like crazy.

He swung that huge thunder beam in a whole 360 degrees and obliterated everything in a radius of five hundred meters into dust.

The massive thunderstorm continued to blast out like crazy for thirty seconds before it finally stopped.

Every tree and stone was obliterated and even the grass on the ground was nowhere to be seen.

"Ugh…" (Link)

Looking at the aftermath, Rio found that, even though Liam cast a barrier Ellie tried to stop that attack by strengthening her body with mana. The attack still made a hole in the barrier and blasted off the whole upper body of Ellie.

Link and Lia were also not spared, Lia tried to use her silver wings as a defense by putting them in front of her but the crazy output of the attack directly caused them to shatter into pieces.

Link's state was also worse, he had put his hands in front to stop the attack, which caused his left arm to directly blow away into smithereens.

'That attack consumed one-third of my mana… the mana consumption of such massive sword intent is huge…' (Rio)

Rio glanced at his sword which was now trembling very fiercely, Rio was barely keeping the sword in control at this moment.

'The hell is wrong with my sword all of a sudden!… why is it trembling like that all of a sudden...' (Rio)

But before Rio can think of something else, a huge aura suddenly appears from behind Rio. He remembered that he asked that little guy to take care of the newbies of other teams earlier, but since the battle started he had completely forgotten about his existence.

Rio hurriedly looked around and found that the little guy who was standing with his sword in his hand a hundred meters away from him and his sword was now covered with an aura, which Rio was all too familiar with.

Although Meng was missing a hand at this moment and blood was flowing from his arm like a fountain, yet instead of pain, he had an excited look on his face at this moment.

"So, that's how it is! I understand now! So this is sword intent!" (Qi Meng)

Everyone was bewildered and shocked by Meng at that very moment. No one expected him to get an 'epiphany' all of a sudden.

Oblivious to other's reactions Meng smiled with an excited look on his face.

(Author's crazy ramblings: Everyone I hope that you all are reading this novel at panda-novel site only. I have noticed those pirated websites. This novel puts food on my table. Atleast buy a few chapters at least to show support if you are gonna read it on pirated sites anyway.)

…

Author's Note.

Yo! It seems our boy Rio is angry. That thunder-beam swirling attack was crazy! As the great meme lord says: 'He woke up and chose violence!'

Question of the day.

What do you think of Rio's sword art?

(In my opinion, Elemental sword art is a fitting technique for Rio, it's versatile and effective. Moreover, Rio isn't even using it to its full potential yet- oops! I said too much! It's a secret!)
