Chapter 79 Unbeatable Opponent (Part 1)
The headless horseman's strength was originally enough to surpass any level 6 master. Although he was wearing heavy steel armor and holding a huge steel battle axe, he had a great power that even some level 7 masters did not have, so his speed actually would not lose to any sixth-level masters. But Ulysses, who had the blood of the demon king, surpassed all the sixth-level masters, so this was the only chance for Ulysses to win. But because Ulysses' speed was based on the absence of any armor, he must not be hit by the headless horseman's great axe head-on, otherwise he would be crushed.
"Light mage! Are you kidding me! Although you are wearing a light mage robe, what else do you have that makes you look like a light mage? Is there a light mage fighting with a sword? Moreover, you are not a human at all! No human being below level 7 is immune to so many curses! You are just a monster with a human appearance!" The headless horseman mocked Ulysses fiercely.
‘Calm down, stay calm! Ulysses, if you listened to him and rushed forward recklessly, you would be fooled by him.’ Ulysses warned himself like this repeatedly, but the anger in his heart continued to rise, and his body trembled uncontrollably. What the headless horseman said had deeply angered him.
Ulysses took a deep breath and held his sword tightly. ‘If you want to be angry, vent all your anger in the battle! Let this burning anger become the power that can destroy everything!’
"Even if I am no longer a human being, even if I am now fighting with a sword! My heart is still a light mage, and a light mage who dreams of becoming a priest!" Ulysses roared. For the first time, he took the initiative to attack the headless horseman in front of him.
One slash, two slashes, three slashes... Numerous sword shadows appeared in front of the headless horseman in an instant, Ulysses' first sword move-Quick Sword Inferno was launched. With such a fast attack frequency, it should not be possible for a headless horseman using a giant axe to block his attack.
"What!" What made Ulysses surprised was that the headless horseman didn't use that steel giant axe to defend his Quick Sword Inferno. He easily found the real sword of Ulysses's sword attack among the countless sword shadows. Then he only used his left hand to punch Ulysses's sword away.
"Huh! An impressive-looking but useless trick! You are too naive to use this trick in front of me! You think this kind of trick can defeat me!?" The headless horseman said contemptuously, and punched Ulysses in the chest like lightning.
With a loud bang, Ulysses used his sword to block the headless horseman's fist that was about to hit his chest, but under the headless horseman's tremendous strength, he was sent flying six or seven meters with his sword.
"Uh!" Although blocked with a sword, the terrifying fist of the headless horseman was transmitted to his body through the sword on Ulysses' chest. Although the battle energy used by Ulysses offset some of the damage, Ulysses still almost vomited blood. This was the first real injury since Ulysses and the headless horseman fought against each other.
"In the name of Ulysses! Heal!" The light magic that Ulysses knew came in handy at this time. A white light flashed, and the pain in his chest quickly disappeared a lot.
"Light magic? You, a monster of an unknown race, can actually use light magic! What the hell are you!" Seeing Ulysses using light magic, the headless horseman was truly surprised for the first time. He never thought that the guy in front of him who seemed immune to all curses could actually use light magic. In his hundreds of years of memory, there had never been such a thing.
"Huh! Even if you can use light magic, your final fate is still death. I want to see if your light magic can resurrect the torn corpse. I'm serious now, take this attack!" The headless horseman held the huge steel battle axe with both hands again, and attacked Ulysses faster than before.
The giant axe made a terrifying sound as it passed through air. The sound was like tearing the air like a piece of cloth. This kind of attack might be enough to easily cut a piece of steel in half.
Of course, Ulysses would not block such an attack that was enough to cut off his sword. He leaped back quickly and left the attack range of the giant axe. Then relying on his own speed, he began to continuously launch attacks in the blind spot of the headless horseman's defense.
But what gave him a headache was that the headless horseman's combat experience was far above him, and almost all his attacks were easily blocked by him. Sometimes the handle of the giant axe was used, sometimes the left hand was used, and sometimes the right hand was used. No matter which direction Ulysses sent out an attack, he had a way to easily defend it. Ulysses even thought that he had completely seen through his attack, otherwise how could he make such a perfect defense so easily.
"Hit... How is it possible!!" After ten minutes of fighting, Ulysses finally found a small flaw in the headless horseman's move and stabbed the headless horseman with his sword. But what surprised him was that his sword could not even penetrate the headless horseman's armor, but left an almost invisible white mark on the black armor.
With a "bang", the headless horseman didn't care whether Ulysses was surprised, and sent Ulysses flying together with his sword again with his fist.
‘What do I do? What do I do? What method can be used to break through this headless horseman's defense!’ Ulysses who was sent flying one thing left in his mind. But no matter how he thought, he couldn't find a way to break through. The power of this headless horseman was too strong. Attack and defense were several times that of him. It seemed that there was no normal way to defeat him.
"Huh! Did you lose your spirit to fight? What a useless guy, so you don't have to run around now! Just die!" The headless horseman's words showed a hint of impatientness. In his opinion, the guy in front of him was like an annoying little mouse that he couldn’t kill quickly. At the same time, he was also a little puzzled, how this guy had such a fast speed, he didn't seem to have any magic similar to Lightning Foot cast on him, but his speed was obviously faster than any sixth-level master he had encountered in the past.
Ulysses thought about it, but in the end, there was only one conclusion. Now he was not the opponent of this headless horseman at all. There was only one way to defeat this headless horseman, which was to use the strongest sword move that he hadn't mastered at all-the Sword of Victory. Only with this move could he break through the perfect defense of this headless horseman and probably defeat him.
