Chapter 194 (2): This Student Can Never Repay You, so I’ll See You Off
Eyes narrowed, Wayne conjured a sword of crimson crystals. The currents stirred behind him, propelling him and accelerating his advance. He swung his sword against the bone greatsword. With an audible crack, his sword shattered, and the greatsword continued to slash toward his neck.
Wayne didn’t panic. In this unkillable state, he would be fine even if he got decapitated. With explosive mana, he swung his fist with all the power he had gathered, punching Gaye’s ribcage. The moment the punch landed, the blade struck true, too.
A wisp of blood spread in the deep sea. Wayne held onto his bleeding neck with shock filling his gaze. He couldn’t believe that his state of immortality was broken.
Meanwhile, Wayne’s powerful punch sent Gaye tumbling through the water. The skeleton enhanced by the Headless Knight was incredibly resilient. Not even Wayne’s full-power attack could leave a fracture.
“Kekeke—”
Gaye continued to cackle. A thread of Death energy swirled around the bone blade, which he had stolen from Wayne. The ruby adorning the sword flickered as it absorbed the Death energy.
Can Death energy be stolen? Wayne stared at the blade in surprise. The white flesh in his neck wriggled to mend the gash. His eyes lit up with greed immediately. Yes, he remembered now. That sword was obviously the one he had lost. A bone sword combined with a ruby? That was clearly Shadow Nightmare lite, and since he was the owner of Shadow Nightmare, he should be entitled to claim its lesser replica.
Give it to me!
His chest writhed to spit out the Sacred Lance of Heaven in its half-unleashed state. Its white light parted the sea and sent powerful waves rippling in all directions, creating an empty space. No longer slowed down by water, Wayne accelerated into a flash of white light. The blazing tip of the lance cut through the night like a shooting star, reaching Gaye in an instant.
It pierced through Gaye’s ribcage easily. Then sacred flames bloomed and surged.
Boom!
Violent waves disturbed the calm surface of the sea; the resulting undercurrents rumbled and rippled outward. Deep underwater, Death energy and sacred flames clashed as two figures fought.
