Chapter 44 43. Blackfire
Luna's face flushed as she fumed in anger. She stared at the man as she changed her dancing style. This time, her movements seemed a bit more striking. Combined with a sharp expression, it seemed that she was going to dance to her death.
The lace also became agitated at this time, instantly surrounding Ed with a fierce attitude. It seemed that she wanted to capture him by hook or by crook. Now, Ed couldn't continue to dodge anymore.
"You want to die, don't you?" Ed chuckled in amusement, "It's amusing seeing you try so hard."
"The probability of winning against you is almost zero. So I know what I'm doing," Luna also smiled while dancing, "I'm just collecting data for my master."
"Oh? So ruthless?" Ed dodged and attacked the lance, making it tremble to the point that it stopped dancing around for a second before regaining its composure.
Luna gritted her teeth and continued dancing, but no matter how many times she twisted her body and turned, the lace couldn't even get close to Ed's body. She started to get frustrated as she stopped her attack and stood on her side, staring blankly at her opponent, "I'm going to update my data on you. It seems you have gotten stronger."
"Sure," Ed waved his free hand as if he hadn't heard what she just said. "I did level-up."
The truth was, he never showed his real power level to anyone, not even his brother. He had reached level one hundred long back when he was still in Meridio, with his brother, but he never showed his true strength, hiding it from everyone else.
If he did, he might end up indirectly challenging his brother at any time. At present, he was using a level eighty strength to fight back. He would just let the System God think that he had upgraded to level eighty.
When Luna saw this expression, she frowned as if she just thought of something, but shook her head. It seemed she couldn't continue the line of thought for some reason as she turned the lace back into a sword as it disappeared into her body, "In that case, Dancemaster wouldn't be useful against you anymore."
"Ah, so you were measuring my level by Dancemaster," Ed genuinely praised the girl, "And here I thought you were fighting seriously."
Luna's weapon changed all of a sudden. Two axes appeared in her hands with a brown hilt, but the only strangeness was that instead of an iron blade, there was a triangle-shaped black fire flickering at the top of both the weapons. She held it in her two hands and raised her head, "I'll fight for real now."
After she said this, she launched an attack on the bald man.
Ed frowned when he saw those axes. This was a legendary ax weapon, Blackfire, that would only be used by rich systems above level ninety. Of course, lower-level systems could also grab it if they had that much money, but they might end up getting tired too soon while using this weapon.
There was a reason why Blackfire was one of the strongest weapons of the fire attribute—it had a black fire coming straight from hell. This fire would be used to destroy the bad karmas of the criminals by burning them within the black fire for a period before releasing them into the reincarnation pool.
The black fire was famous for being never-ending even in hell. If someone were to summon it, it would burn the enemy and torture their soul, inflicting innate damage so much so that the poor soul would probably take a long time before becoming a human again.
The most dangerous thing was that it would continue to burn away until it was extinguished by the user. If they wouldn't extinguish it, the fire might end up destroying the entire planet, ultimately turning the entire Universe into charcoal.
Now that Ed saw the girl using this weapon…. He smiled. There was a spark of interest appearing in his eyes as he stared at those axes, "Now you're talking! This is what I call a fight!"
The viewers' comment section became even more excited after seeing the scene.
[What the heck am I seeing? Is that Blackfire?! The legendary weapon? Ahhhh! I'm breathing and I can see that weapon with my own eyes! My life's purpose has been fulfilled!!!!]
[Oh my God! That's Blackfire! It's as good as I saw in the pictures!]
[I want that! I F*CKING WANT IT RIGHT NOW!]
[Oh, I love Ed Hudson! He's the most handsome bachelor of all! I want to get married to him!]
[The above girl, please stop. He has many fan wives here. If you start, they'll also join, and we action lovers won't have a chance at chatting at all!]
After that, the comment section went off in another direction. Of course, this had nothing to do with Ed.
He and Luna were busy fighting one another to death. They both attacked one another and dodged, but Ed still didn't use his skill until the end.
He smiled and said, "You're getting better at fighting."
"I learn from the best," Luna attacked again, but the ax in her right hand ended up hitting the tree. She frowned when she saw the black fire burning the entire tree down, "Tch. I hate it when this weapon does it. It's destroying my garden."
Ed ignored that comment and continued to fight. Even though this was a black fire, he wasn't afraid for one reason—the power level of this weapon was greatly reduced because of Luna's low stats.
Even though robots were basically OP and could create fake versions of all the weapons and skills through their bodies within their attributes, they couldn't use a higher-level weapon. Even if they created a fake version, the power potency of that weapon would be reduced to that of their current level.
Despite that, the fire was still real. Only the attack and CE had changed, and everything else about the fire damage remained the same. The most damaging thing was that there were two blackfires. Ed knew he had to be careful. He grinned as he continued to fight, "I've never had so much fun in years. Let's do this again!"
"I'm sorry, I'm the Queen of Orient. I can't waste my time fighting a mere teacher," said Luna while she summoned back the blackfire from the tree and continued to fight.
"Oh? Then let's end it," Ed said, he raised his weapon and pointed the top toward the loli and said with a smile, "Petrification."
