Chapter 526 Duel
They soon brought the ten Celestials to another cavern inside the Dungeon.
Since their battle can be explosive, they decided not to do it outside.
"This is a good place… Are you going to challenge the strongest of them first?" Lancelot asked after looking around the cavern.
The ceiling is about 50 meters in height they have a huge space enough to dock a huge cargo ship…
"Do you think I can\'t handle two or three of them at once?" The Twin Blade Master asked with a chuckle.
"You can probably do that since these slaves weren\'t even in a good condition. However, you\'ll still overexert yourself. You know about their physical strength." Lancelot reminded the loud and arrogant Blade Master.
"Hahaha… You\'re right… I\'ll hold back then. If there is someone brave enough to fight me, come forward." Twin Blade Master declared as he looked at the Celestial Slaves that are now wearing some decent combat gear.
They are all wearing at Unique-Grade Equipment and Armor. As for their weapons, they are all Epic-Grade Silver Staff…
Thud. Thud.
It was Number 882 who first stepped up to fight against the Paragon.
"Hmm… You\'re brave, I like it." The Twin Blade Master commented as he looked at the Silver Staff Number 882 was holding. He can tell that the Celestial wasn\'t too comfortable with the staff as her weapon but he didn\'t mind it.
He\'s aware that these Celestials have incredible adaptability and he also knows that with just a few swings of the staff, this Celestial Slave would easily become an expert in it.
Number 882 did not reply but she held her Silver Staff and pointed it forward.
"Are you mute? Can you understand what I\'m saying?" The Twin Blade Master asked with a hint of frustration.
"Let\'s just fight…" Number 882 replied. It was as if she doesn\'t want to spare an effort to talk to him.
The Twin Blade Master didn\'t like this and he pulled out his two blades hanging on his back…
"You have no manners. So it\'s true that you\'re only respectful to the Alliance Head. I\'ll teach you a lesson so you\'ll remember how to treat me."
With that said, the Paragon stayed on the ground and slashed his blade at the Celestial Slave. The slash created a wave of energy heading straight to the Celestial Slave in front of him.
Bang!
Number 882 didn\'t dodge the strike as if she wanted to test how strong was the Paragon who dared to challenge them.
The collision of her staff and the energy released by the Paragon pushed her back. She had to step back three times before she was able to stabilize herself.
She didn\'t look fearful or surprised by that strike and only had a thoughtful expression. It appears that she had already expected this much power coming from him…
Number 882 then looked at the Paragon. Noticing that the latter was waiting for her to attack, she no hesitated and pounced at him…
Whoosh~
Her leg strength was powerful. In an instant, she crossed the ten-meter gap between them. She thrust her staff forward and successfully hit the Paragon…
No! It was only an afterimage of the Twin Blade Master…
Clang!
Number 882 waved her staff above her without even looking and hit the Paragon\'s blade…
However, it wasn\'t over yet, the Twin Blade Master has a couple of blades after all!
The second blade slashed at Number 882 shoulder… The Paragon didn\'t want to heavily injure the Celestial so he was only planning to cut her shoulder to see her blood.
However, to his surprise, the blade stopped about 3 centimeters from the Celestial\'s skin.
It was as if she had covered herself with something similar to Mana Shield…
Thud!
He wasn\'t able to slice her skin and only felt a tough resistance…
"Interesting… So you have this trick... Let\'s see how long can it last." The Paragon replied. He can roughly guess what was stopping his blade so he wasn\'t too disappointed about it.
If the Celestials are truly easy to kill, there was no way they would bring them in the battle against the Magicians of the Black Tower or the Nidite City.
Lancelot then watched the battle last for over 10 minutes. During this time, he can tell that the Twin Blade Master is holding back while the Celestial was trying to get accustomed to her new weapon…
It was pretty obvious that silver staff wasn\'t her main weapon but nevertheless, the rate of her improvement is astonishing…
As soon as they reached the 10-minute mark, the Twin Blade Master has to increase the intensity of his blade techniques…
He also had to use his movement techniques to clash against the Celestials aside from using his blade techniques…
Number 882 felt that if this keeps going on, she\'ll be able to defeat the Paragon!
However, as soon as Number 882 felt confident with her skills and thought that she had a clear grasp of the Paragon\'s strength, she suddenly felt pain in her stomach before she notices her vision darken… In an instant, Number 882 passed out and lost against the Paragon.
The other Celestials Slaves who are watching frowned at the sight in front of them… Except for Number 201, they couldn\'t understand why Number 882 was suddenly defeated.
"The Paragon can use an invisible blade. He\'s not using a Twin Blade. It should be a Tri-Blade." As soon as Number 201 said this, the Paragon loudly laughed…
"Hahaha! So it was like that. I can fool the weaker Celestial Slaves but those around your rank are quite troublesome." The Twin Blade Master didn\'t mind being exposed as he pulled his third and invisible blade.
Thud…
In a flash, they noticed that something came back to his hands.
It was as if he used some sort of string to pull the invisible blade back to him… They may not see the blade but they can feel it.
"The blade is smeared with a strong sedative. Your friend had only passed out so there\'s no need to glare at me. You guys will still be useful so I won\'t be killing you." The Twin Blade Master said after noticing the sharp gazes directed at him.
