74: Sword of Separation and Spectrum

"It's coming!"

Zhu Ming said in a cold voice, then with a wave of his hand, he pulled a sword out of the ring on his right hand!

The Consultant already knew that Zhu Ming was the descendant of a major family in Dragon County, so it was no surprise that he also possessed a space ring.

Most of his attention was focused on the sword in Zhu Ming's hand.

This sword was completely different from the Consultant's famous sword moon shadow.

It was a straight sword, about a meter long, looking extremely magnificent and imposing, even giving the Consultant the feeling of a scepter!

Abundant magic power surged on the blade, signifying that this was definitely no ordinary object.

The Consultant quickly used his Observation ability to take a look, but the system prompt startled him, even bordering on envy!

[Weapon: sword of night and fire.]

[Introduction: An heirloom sword collected by the Zhu Family, once bearing the title of one of the Legendary Weapons, said to have been forged by an ancient Reclusive Mage!]

[Affiliated Skill: Stance of Night and Fire (Hold the sword level with the ground, then display two different Magic Swordsman attack methods: Night and Fire)!]

"Maybe this is what a true rich second generation looks like?"

The Consultant looked at the straight sword in Zhu Ming's hand and couldn't help but click his tongue in envy.

Thinking about the famous sword moon shadow inside his space ring, he suddenly felt it wasn't so appealing anymore.

Although the famous sword moon shadow was also a very powerful weapon, judging by the system's description, it was definitely far inferior to the 'Legendary Weapon' in Zhu Ming's hand!

But Zhu Ming paid no attention to the Consultant's gaze. Holding the sword of night and fire, he stepped forward alone.

The Rathalos looked at Zhu Ming standing before it, let out another dragon roar, then flattened its wings against the ground and charged forward rapidly!

"Holy crap, Dump Truck Iai?!"

The Consultant watched as the Rathalos used 'Dragon Charge', and before his brain could even react, his body had already retreated more than ten meters backward.

But Zhu Ming remained standing calmly in front, gazing at the Rathalos charging toward him.

"Hey, stop showing off! Aren't you going to run?!"

The Consultant couldn't help but shout upon seeing Zhu Ming's demeanor.

But Zhu Ming ignored the Consultant and instead made a strange movement.

He took a deep breath, raised the blade in front of his chest, and then pulled it horizontally into a bow-drawing stance.

This was... the stance for the affiliated skill the system just introduced?

As a thought flashed through the Consultant's mind, he heard Zhu Ming speak softly:

"Night Style..."

Immediately afterward, the magic power in his body surged rapidly and poured into the sword of night and fire in his hand.

The sword instantly emitted a blue and black light, and overflowing magic power scattered continuously!

Before the Consultant could be surprised, he heard Zhu Ming's next words.

"Night Comet!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Ming had already struck with his sword!

In an instant, all the magic power in the entire Arena seemed to adhere to the sword of night and fire!

A torrent of blue magic power shot out with a roar, striking the oncoming Rathalos like a laser cannon!

With a loud boom!

The Rathalos was actually blasted directly to the ground by the torrent of magic power, letting out a painful wail!

Seeing this scene, the Consultant was stunned for a long time before muttering.

"Damn, the Sword of Absurdity!"

Both were Magic Swordsmen, and both possessed weapons with skills.

"Why is the difference so huge?"

The Consultant stared at the sword of night and fire in Zhu Ming's hand, his heart filled with envy.

Maybe this is the rich second generation; a weapon casually pulled out is extraordinary!

But this thought lasted only for an instant.

The next moment, the Consultant saw the Rathalos, which had been knocked over, roll around and get back up.

"Roar!"

The Rathalos let out a dragon roar towards the sky, appearing not to have suffered any serious damage, but rather provoked into fury by Zhu Ming's previous move!

Instantly, the surrounding magic power began to stir restlessly, and the air became unusually scorching!

Every breath felt like a fiery burn.

The Consultant quickly focused on the Rathalos's status, and the system prompt soon appeared before his eyes... [Warning: Rathalos has entered Berserk Status. Please proceed with caution.]

Isn't that obvious?

The Consultant clicked his tongue. Even if the system hadn't said it, he would definitely be careful.

As for 'proceeding', the Consultant looked at Zhu Ming.

Zhu Ming had already gripped his sword tightly and assumed the stance again.

But this time, he did not use the torrent of magic power move again.

"Fire Style... Cursed Fire Slash!"

Zhu Ming slashed diagonally with his sword!

His blade trembled slightly, and a burst of fire instantly erupted where his blade had just passed!

This firelight, condensed from magic power, lingered and struck the Rathalos.

But that was the Rathalos, a Wyvern Species whose name inherently contained 'fire'!

Zhu Ming's slash landed on the Rathalos without causing any real damage, instead further stimulating the creature's madness.

Its massive body crawled on the ground, resembling a large winged lizard, rapidly closing in on Zhu Ming.

Facing this situation, Zhu Ming frowned, immediately gave up the idea of continuing the attack, and instead lightly flicked the blade.

*Buzz!*

After the straight sword emitted a soft metallic sound, it gave off a ray of light, seemingly enchanted with some effect.

Immediately afterward, Zhu Ming pushed off the ground, leaped up like an eagle, paused for an instant in mid-air, and then rapidly descended!

In mid-air, a faint light flashed!

Several scales on the Rathalos's back were instantly shattered.

Zhu Ming reacted quickly, withdrawing and landing to the side before the Rathalos could retaliate.

Having been wounded several times, the Rathalos's eyes flickered with venomous light, and white steam constantly overflowed from its mouth.

It bent its legs, stomped hard on the ground, and simultaneously spread its wings, flying high up.

Scorching wind instantly swept across the entire Arena!

The Rathalos circled the entire Arena, locking onto Zhu Ming once more!

It twisted its body, opened its massive mouth, and spat out a ball of scorching flame capable of melting steel!

"Hoo..."

Facing the oncoming heatwave, Zhu Ming neither dodged nor flinched. He held the sword with both hands in front of his forehead, muttered an incantation, and immediately a light blue Magic Shield appeared around him.

This was a defensive move of the Magic Swordsman!

But compared to the magic shields produced by most spells, the effect was much worse.

"Frost Armor!"

Zhu Ming softly chanted again, and the surrounding magic power quickly condensed, instantly transforming into cold-infused Ice Armor that surrounded him!

This move, where attributes countered each other, effectively canceled out the scorching flame spat out by the Rathalos!

The Rathalos, failing to land a hit, roared unwillingly, flew past Zhu Ming's head, and landed in an open space nearby.

The Consultant keenly noticed that Zhu Ming was not in a good state at the moment.

He was surrounded by evaporating white mist; the Frost Armor had mostly melted, and his face was pale, clearly having consumed a lot of magic power by tanking that attack.

But afterward, Zhu Ming did not rush forward like a brute. Instead, he slanted his gaze toward the Consultant nearby:

"Consultant, how long are you planning to just watch?"
