Chapter 743 Four Pillars: A Swift Conclusion

Unlike the previous two opponents he had fought against earlier, Mariella did not waste any time in starting the fight.The source of this content can be linked to n0velbin•

Charging towards Valyr at great speeds, the young woman swung her sword as a faint purple sheen flashed on its surface.

Though Valyr was slightly caught off guard that Mariella was incredibly straight to the point, that still did not stop the man from responding in return.

Whoosh!

With one swift movement, Valyr unsheathed the spear on his back before meeting against the girl's blade mid-collision.

Bang!

Seeing the sword's trajectory being cut short by his spear, a faint smile appeared on his face as he thought about blocking her attack seemed to be quite effortless.

However, such thoughts did not last for long as the young girl's purple eyes began to glisten a dark purple, causing the force behind the sword to increase by tenfold.

"?!"

Thud!

Not expecting the girl's sword to suddenly undergone such an increase in strength, Valyr made a wise decision to retract his spear and distance himself from the young woman.

On the other hand, Mariella's blade continued on its intended trajectory before landing on the ground, briefly causing the ground to rumble in response.

'This is probably going to be a difficult fight,' inwardly muttered Valyr to himself as he thought about using the pistol.

With there being no limitations in place, thoughts of ending the fight quickly appeared in the young man's mind as all of his opponents so far had pitifully low health in contrast to their strength.

Though, just as his thoughts had reached a crossroads at which method would be better, Mariella had decided to strike once more.

Whoosh!

With a solemn expression on her face, a faint purple sheen appeared on her blade's surface once more.

However, unlike before, this sheen had taken on the hints of dark purple that briefly appeared on her eyes.

Moving at the greatest speed she could muster, it did not take long for her to arrive in front of Valyr as she swung her blade down yet again.

Though, now knowing that there was something going on with the young woman's blade, the young man undoubtedly that the best course of action was to dodge.

But just as he was about to distance himself from her, Valyr noticed faint traces of silver light flashing in the young woman's eyes.

Only for him to feel like the world had been put on his shoulders not long after.

Thud!

Before he could even react, Valyr felt as if his body had gained over ten times his own body weight in an instant, making it difficult for him to do even simple movements.

Yet, with the appearance of his body not being affected at all, the young man looked back at the young woman before her.

Only to notice that a faint smirk now traced the edges of her lips.

Of course, such a smirk did not last for long.

"[Arcane Shadow Warp]."

Whoosh!

Just as Mariella thought that her blade would finally land on her opponent, Valyr turned into a blur of Shadow Energy and mana at the very last moment, barely dodging the insidious attack she had prepared.

Clicking her tongue at how her opponent had avoided her attacks twice in a row, Mariella took in a deep breath as she closed her eyes.

Not long after, she refocused her attention on Valyr.

Only this time, her eyes now seemed to be glowing a pure silver.

"[Fuerza Sword Style: First Stance]."

Seeing as the young man was just staring at her whilst he stayed where he stood, Mariella inwardly smiled as she caused her blade to radiate the same silver light her eyes did.

"So that's why her attacks were like that."

Having read through both Sven and Amauris' resplendent status screens, Mariella's status screen only roused a bit of interest from the young man.

After all, both her class and subclass had something to do with the blade, which was something Valyr remembered only a select few players had ended up doing.

However, what truly caught his interest was not the fact that both her class and subclass was inclined towards combat.

But the fact that her skills had something to do with both force and gravity.

'With how smoothly she's manipulated gravity and force so far, there's no doubt that she's probably comprehended the full Intent related to it,' thought the young man, staring at the young woman for a brief moment.

Then, without hesitation, he took out the matchlock pistol from his spatial bracelet, as well as the resources needed to fire it.

Keeping an eye on Mariella to see if she would break through her stunned state earlier like Amauris, the young man began to arm the pistol for firing.

'I guess I should think that I'm fortunate to be facing her in this state,' thought Valyr to himself. 'After all, I could be facing her at the strength of a Rank 5 class holder.'

'Or worse, the strength of a Myth with a comprehended Intent.'

Inwardly letting out a sigh of relief as the young woman remained still all throughout his preparations, the young man then took in a deep breath as he aimed the pistol towards her.

Unsurprisingly, Mariella went wide-eyed towards the gesture, a faint feeling of fear creeping up within her as she got an ominous feeling from the weapon Valyr was holding.

Yet, even though she wanted to escape, her body continued to remain affixed in place.

"Just for safe measure..." Saying these words to himself, Valyr began to activate a series of skills on himself.

"Intent Seed of Shadow Energy."

"[Refined Offense Aura]."

"[Intermediate Fire Magic Style: Blazing Vigor]."

"[Limit Break: Second Verse]."

"[First Encore]."

"And lastly..."

"[Rage of the True Wyvern]."

Whoosh!

Within seconds, Valyr's aura underwent through a great transformation, causing the feeling of fear Mariella to worsen with every activation.

However, the feeling of fear eventually disappeared at the moment Valyr had infused mana into his firearm.

Instead, she began to feel a sense of peace.

"[Reckless Shot]."

Bang!

Pressing down on the trigger as he infused the pistol with mana, a faint blue bullet swiftly left the barrel as it whirred through the air.

Whoosh!

Then, without any obstacle in the way, the bullet pierced through the young woman's forehead.

'-69,368!!!'

Normally, such an attack would make for such a gruesome sight, especially with how the primitive humanoids were killed during the first trial.

However, with Mariella being a memory image, she instead turned into a series of golden fragments, gradually dissipating into thin air.

And with that...

The third fight was over.
