Chapter 938: You And Me.
As soon as the figure of the dragon appeared, Sword Maestro made a move. He attacked with all of his might, and a bright sword light appeared between heaven and earth. This sword light streaked towards Loki at the speed of light.As the sword light fell on Loki, his external body bloomed like a flower around him. So his surroundings fell into darkness, and a black hole appeared around him. The sword light fell into this black hole.
The sword light was fast, but it lacked power. When it struck the black hole, it sank into the black hole like a stick sinking into mud.
The black hole didn’t even shake because of the impact. It remained stable as it devoured the sword light.
The sword light pierced through the black hole to reach him. Everything the sword light touched was disintegrated and cleaved in two.
It looked as if the sword light would reach him. But the chances of this happening was falling by the moment because the sword light was being worn down and devoured by Loki’s external body. Eventually, the sword light was devoured before it could reach the center, where he was standing.
After neutralizing the attack, he said, "It is flashy, but it lacks substance."
Then he looked up and said to Sword Maestro, "To be fair, this attack wasn’t so bad. But if this could kill me, why didn’t you use it earlier?"
Both the avatar and the sword light had identical power levels. If there was a difference between them, it was in their quality.
The sword light was of a higher quality than whatever attack the avatar could produce. But the sword light also cost more energy to produce, and most of its power was wasted in the process of passing the boundary of the Sea of Worlds to reach Loki.
What they had in common was that both attacks were suppressed by Loki’s external body, and both of them failed to do anything to him. But Loki didn’t want to kick a man while he was down, which was why he didn’t state it outright that the sword light was a waste of time and energy. He only hinted at the fact that it wasn’t useful.
But Sword Maestro didn’t speak to defend himself. This time, he didn’t speak because he couldn’t.
The price he paid to maintain his avatar was now coming home to roost. The debt of Entropy in particular had to be dealt with as soon as possible, so he didn’t have the energy to engage in casual banter with the person who just crippled him.
After he attacked, the pressure of his existence shrank again. This time, every Dao Lord, including the newcomers, noticed the change.
Sword Maestro ignored everyone and took one last look at Loki. Then he closed the rift and disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Without a doubt, every Dao Lord knew that Sword Maestro had become weaker. At least, they were sure that if he was pretending, the price he paid for it was too much.
