Chapter 96 Respective Practice (Part 2)

‘What exactly is going on?’ Ulysses looked at the Judgment of Abyss that appeared in front of him suspiciously, and began to recall what had just happened...

Three hours ago.

"Go! the Sword of Victory!" As Ulysses shouted, a dazzling white light tore through the air, making a sound like an explosion. Within the attack range of this white light, even air no longer existed. After the white light disappeared, the surrounding air refilled the vacuum in that area, and the rapidly flowing air even formed a small air vortex.

"I am finally able to cast it out!" Ulysses looked at the sword in his hand excitedly. After countless hard training, he finally cast out the Sword of Victory once again. The most important thing was that this time he was not forced to use this trick by the enemy, but used it through his own hard training.

This showed that he had gradually begun to master this powerful sword move, and he no longer needed to rely on his luck at the moment of life and death. The difference between the two was as big as one in the sky and the other in the ground.

It could be said that now, Ulysses really had the appearance of a swordsman, possessing his own kills, which was a sign of a qualified swordsman. The previous Ulysses could only be regarded as an incompetent swordsman who relied on his superior sword-swinging speed to suppress the enemy. Anyone with his sword-swinging speed might be able to do the same thing as him.

"Okay, I need to carry on, and try to practice the Sword of Victory to the point where I can use it freely." Ulysses once again held the sword in his hand tightly, wanting to use the Sword of Victory again before the feeling of understanding the essence of this move disappeared.

First, he took a deep breath, and then slowly began to drive away the distracting thoughts in his mind, not thinking about anything else. Gradually, there was only a sword in his eyes and mind.

At this moment, things that were easy to overlook in the past would be seen, heard, and felt. For example, the sound of the leaves of the big trees falling to the ground in the forest, the sound of the waves beating in the distance, the fine dust floating in the air, and the smell of mud. These things that ordinary people were unlikely to pay attention to, now he could clearly feel it.

"Bang! Bang!" The beating of the heart seemed to slow down, no, it should be said that in the current Ulysses's feeling, the world's time had slowed down. He had already had several experiences and knew that it was time to make a move.

"Now! Go, the Sword of Victory!"

A white light that was even more dazzling than the last time appeared from Ulysses's hand, and the indestructible light blade once again ruthlessly tore the air in front of him. Everything within its attack range was shattered into tiny dust. No, it should be said that there was no dust left, it was turned into complete nothingness. This was the second sword move Ulysses created-the Sword of Victory, and it was also the strongest sword move he had now.

However, the sword move was not completed this time. When the Blade of Light had only flown half the range of the last time, it suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed.

With the sound of "Bang!", the sword fell to the ground. Without the sword, the move would naturally be impossible to complete. This was why the Blade of Light disappeared.

"Ah! What, what is going on!" Ulysses hugged his head and cried out in pain.

Pain, as if all the blood was drawn out of his body, his muscles twitched constantly; they swelled at one moment, and suddenly shrunk at the other moment, and it was not under the command of Ulysses at all. Of course, it was impossible to continue to make moves in this situation. And this situation happened suddenly when the Sword of Victory was cast out halfway through. At that time, Ulysses only felt that something in his body had broken down, and then it was this unbearable pain.

"Huff, Huff. Is, is it because I have used a force that exceeds my limit?" Ulysses panted, quickly searching for an explanation for this situation in his mind.

Indeed, he had heard that once the warrior used a move that far exceeded their limit, they would easily fall into the backlash brought about by the move. The backlash ranged from serious injuries to death, which was very similar to his current situation. But why didn't he show any abnormalities when he used the Sword of Victory in actual combat several times before? If this move was really beyond his limit, it was impossible that he did not have any problems several times before. And the power of those few times was obviously much greater than today's!

‘Ah! Right! It is the desire!’ Ulysses realised something. The previous few times when he used this move, he had an obvious desire to knock down his opponent, but this time he was purely to practice this move, so there was no desire to attack at all. Was it because of this, that the realm of infinite desire didn't provide him with enough power to cause a backlash? If this was the case, then he must quickly think of some desires and let the realm of infinite desire counteract the backlash.

‘Eh? I don't seem to have any desires right now?’ Just when Ulysses urgently needed a certain desire to activate the power of the realm of infinite desire, he was shocked to find that he could not find any urgent desires.

The desire to become stronger? He only trained to protect himself and Rasputin and the others. He didn't intend to use it to show off to others or to gain money and power; the desire of defeating the enemy? There was only an immobile tree in front of him, there was no enemy; the desire to let the pain disappear? He had this one, but somehow it seemed useless, maybe the realm of infinite desire did not think it was a kind of desire; desire for food was not good either. He had eaten a lot in the morning, he was not hungry at all. What other desires he had?

‘Ah! Right, I can use the desire for girls! Anyway, there are no girls here. It should be no problem to fantasize about them a little bit in my mind, right? Sorry, Rasputin, Aya, Helen, Cherie. Although I know this is wrong, I just imagine it in my mind. Believe me, I just want to activate the realm of infinite desire.’

‘Supreme God! Please forgive me, I have no choice, I swear that I will never do this kind of thing again, so please forgive me for the impure thoughts that will appear in my mind this time!’ After earnestly praying the Supreme God, Ulysses began to fantasize...
