Walker Of The Blue Sky

70  Ch 70: A Fierce Battle

Emrys became extremely careful. He knew he could not afford to underestimate this beast at all.

"Roar!"

Emrys's action of avoiding its attack incited a fierce roar from the Scaled Beast. It bared its massive jaws, and a sinister red gleam flashed in its pupils. In a swift motion, the beast swung its colossal paw, delivering a powerful strike at Emrys.

Emrys jumped back a few times, thinking that he could successfully avoid this attack as well.

However, he still underestimated the beast. The beast's claw suddenly lit up with red energy, and then, a claw-shaped image manifested in the air before pressing down at Emrys.

"Puff!"

Emrys was surprised and wanted to avoid it, unfortunately, it was already too late. The attack landed directly on his chest, making him feel as if his chest was being ripped apart by a powerful external force.

Bang!

He was sent flying and collided against a petrified tree, once again spurting out a mouthful of blood. Then he slowly fell to the ground.

"Roar!"

The scaled beast clearly realized Emrys's situation and knew it had to attack when the iron was still hot. The beast did not want to give Emrys any chance to make a comeback. It instantly charged at Emrys, intending to finish the theif right away. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Emrys struggled a little and stood up, his eyes flashing with silver glint. His silver hair blew in the soft wind.

Without hesitation, he grabbed the blade from his back and was ready to face the beast.

"Flying Blade Skill, strike!"

With a grave expression, Emrys knew he couldn't afford a single misstep. He bellowed a command, channeling his Soul Force to launch a fierce assault on the Scaled Beast.

The blade on his hand moved with swiftness, transforming into a silver streak that fiercely at the beast.

As Emrys's blade neared the Scaled Beast, the beast lashed out with its tail in a mighty strike.

"Boom!"

After the two opposite forces collided, sparks flew everywhere. To Emrys's surprise, the scaled beast remained unscathed. Its defensive capabilities were evidently a lot more powerful than Emrys had thought.

An average Silver Soul Master would have been gravely wounded under that tail strike, likely losing the capacity to fight on. Fortunately, it was Emrys, and Emrys was not an average Soul Master.

Similarly, Emrys's attack also held the strength to wound heavily even an Advanced Silver Soul Master. But against the Scaled Beast, his attack was akin to a mere tickle, causing no pain and failing to breach its defenses.

"Roar!"

Undeterred by the lack of damage inflicted, the beast's ferocity surged. A fierce glint flashed in its eyes as it opened its massive jaws. Unleashing a powerful force, it viciously snapped at Emrys, intent on delivering a fatal blow.

Witnessing this, a surge of battle intent sparked in Emrys's eyes. He manipulated the Soul Force within his Soul River and guided them all to his blade. As he guided more and more Soul Force, the blade trembled, letting out a small noise. At the same time, it glowed with pale but ethereal light.

Emrys always knew that he was not powerful enough to bring forth the blade's true power. He tried previously but failed. It was the first time the blade trembled like this. Emrys was surprised to see this.

An excited expression made its appearance on his serious face. Without hesitation, he launched a powerful slash at the beast.

"Flying Blade Skill!"

Bang!

Harnessing the power of the blade, coupled with his own physical force, Emrys felt an overwhelming strength, as if he could shatter a mountain. A flicker of madness sparked in his gaze. His relentless slashes collided against the beast's open mouth.

"Roar!"

The Scaled Beast, which had previously underestimated Emrys, felt pain for the first time. A sharp object stricken against its open mouth, easily cutting deep to the left side.

Blood spurted out like a crimson geyser, painting the ground with red stains.

"Roar"

The beast roared in agony. Its ferocity was momentarily tempered by the searing pain. It might be the first time in its life that it felt a pain this agonizing.

Emrys did not let go of this opportunity. He seized this brief window of opportunity and pressed on with resolute expression. He could feel a perfect harmony between the weight of his blade and the surge of his Soul Force.

He only knew one skill, and that was the Flying Blade Skill. Having no choice, he repeatedly started executing the same skill again and again, targetting the beast.

Emrys's strikes became a blur of silver, each slash aimed with precision at the beast's vulnerable spots. Several times, he also targeted the cut part at the beast's mouth as well.

The scaled beast, now on the defensive, thrashed wildly, its massive claws swiping at the air, trying to fend off the relentless assault. Despite its earlier ferociousness, the beast now recognized the threat Emrys posed to its life.

Rumble!

Struck by Emrys's frenzied assault, a flash of murderous red intent sparked in its eyes. In a blind rage, the Scaled Beast's tail thrashed wildly against the ground, causing the earth itself to tremble under the fury of its blows. After that, it seemed to have gone completely crazy. With a thunderous roar, it lashed out with its massive tail, aiming a vicious strike in Emrys's direction.

"Roar!"

The Scaled Beast, now engulfed by a savage aura, bellowed a defiant roar skyward. Its tail approached Emrys at an incredibly fast speed with fearsome velocity and force.

Emrys knew he could not let this strike land on his body. Otherwise, he will definitely die here.

Having no choice, he brought the blade in front of his chest and took a defensive stance.

"Bang!"

The tail landed heavily on the blade. The blade sparked but did not suffer any damage. It was very strong, and even a Gold Soul Beast could not harm it, let alone this scaled beast, which was far weaker in terms of strength.

However, the force behind the beast's strike was still very powerful. A powerful force easily penetrated the defenses of the blade and landed heavily on Emrys's body, sending him flying. Emrys felt as if the bones within his body were breaking. The pain that assaulted him at that moment was agonizing. He could not help but scream in pain as blood automatically flowed from his mouth.
