Chapter 470 - 462: My Mana Is Endless
The Ocean Goddess strained to stand on tiptoe, her four tentacles propping up her body like enormous brackets, giving the appearance of a high stool. Finally, she wasn’t so short, at least as tall as Leon’s shoulders. But the twisted limb movements and comical appearance made her look like a clown.
Leon looked at the elevated Ocean Goddess. Their sizes now matched, and it was clear that the previous combat style was no longer applicable. As he raised his hand, he grabbed a handful of air and placed it before his eyes—the Divine Sword lay open in his palm, apparently no larger than a needle.
He blew a breath onto the Divine Sword, and it instantly expanded from the needle-size to a length almost equal to Leon’s height, gripped firmly in his hand.
The Sword Control Technique granted Leon proficiency with all bladed weapons, be it short swords, longswords, or giant swords. However, it didn’t grant him swordsmanship skills.
Leon’s swordsmanship was learned from the Knight Lady, Fiora, encompassing four fundamental stances and several minor ones. He let out a powerful roar, striking his left foot heavily forward, creating a deep depression underfoot, and his muscular arm veins bulged as he assumed the Bull Stance.
The Bull Stance got its name from the sword’s trajectory, resembling a bull’s horn reaching out, achieved by curving the arm so the hilt was just above the head, with the sword’s point directed at the opponent’s face.
He’s already expended nearly half of his mana, and there wasn’t much time left for Leon.
Wasting no time, he took large strides forward, gripping the sword hilt with both hands and raising it high above his head—using his shoulders and upper arms for power instead of just his arms—and delivering a straight downward slash. The New Year Sword Technique was the first to strike, crashing onto the horizontally raised trident handle of the Ocean Goddess.
The clash between trident and giant sword sent shockwaves that shattered the cloud layers.
Leon leveraged his height advantage, pressing his full body weight onto the sword, pushing the Ocean Goddess downward. Her hands, holding the trident, trembled incessantly, forcing her to retreat repeatedly. With each step back, a pit formed on the ocean floor, triggering a tsunami.
Not enough.
