Random Skill.
Yet another random skill.
After being targeted by Aeon of Joy, Bochang urgently needed skills to handle their "games."
This time, he barely managed to bluff his way through.
But what about next time?
Bochang had to be prepared.
The choice was clear...
"Option one," Bochang responded firmly. "Yes, I do have ulterior motives."
As soon as he finished speaking, Seele charged forward.
The exaggerated scythe whirled through the air, emitting a piercing whistle as it sliced through the wind. Before acquiring the Hundred Birds Homage Spear skill, such an assault might have left Bochang flustered.
However...
Bochang was no longer the same person he once was.
Hundred Birds Homage Spear not only taught him how to wield a spear effectively but also enhanced his observational abilities significantly.
With a single glance,
Bochang effortlessly spotted several vulnerabilities in Seele's movements. By thrusting his Vow Spear at these openings, he could completely thwart the attack.
["Reward being granted - Congratulations! You have acquired the skill 'Lotus Blossom Tongue'. By blowing lotuses from your mouth, consuming their petals can heal wounds and alleviate pain."]
"No, this isn't the kind of skill I need; I want one that guarantees victory with an 'Aha' moment!" Bochang muttered, then focused on Seele rapidly approaching him.
It was clear that Seele had no intention of allowing Bochang to explain, immediately launching an attack without hesitation.
Apparently, Seele had fully deemed Bochang as a pervert.
"So many openings..." The corner of Bochang's lips curved slightly upwards. Unhurriedly, he reversed the Vow Spear, using its butt to strike at Seele's weapon.
The reason for not employing the spear tip was simple: the Vow Spear was exceedingly sharp.
Bochang feared accidentally damaging Seele's weapon in a single blow.
In the chaotic Underworld, having no means of self-defense without a weapon was unacceptable. Bochang still considered the potential consequences for his opponent.
"Clang!"
With a crisp sound, Bochang reacted just in time, blocking Seele's attack.
The razor-sharp tip of the scythe missed Bochang's face by mere centimeters.
Despite the distance, it still caused a slight stinging sensation on his face.
This was Bochang's Spider Sense kicking in.
Of course...the wind factor played a role too. The moment Seele swung her blade, the generated air pressure alerted him.
If she practiced more diligently,
she might develop wind-based sword energies similar to those of a master swordsman.
With such mastery, even without direct contact from the weapon, damage could be inflicted through these wind blades.
Seele's physical attributes were already exceptional; the limitation lay solely in technique.
Having learned the Hundred Birds Phoenix Spear Technique, Bochang could effortlessly create wind blades, extending his attack range significantly.
However, this type of attack is generally effective only against weaker foes. Against stronger opponents, ordinary wind blades would struggle to breach their defenses.
Take Bochang himself as an example.
His DEF has greatly increased alongside multiple enhancements to his physical attributes.
Even if Seele managed to generate wind blades,
as long as the blade itself didn't touch him, at most, they'd merely scratch the surface and draw a trickle of blood.
Seeing her scythe blocked, Seele swiftly twisted her wrist, changing direction to continue her assault on Bochang.
He remained steadfast, not budging an inch.
Bochang continuously thrust his spear's butt end, blocking Seele's attacks one after another.
No matter how fiercely she struck,
she couldn't make Bochang budge even a single step.
This increasingly infuriated Seele, who initially held back but now decided to unleash her full power.
She activated the strength of her fate path completely.
"Vanish like these butterflies!" Gripping her large scythe tightly, Seele charged swiftly forward. As she initiated her attack, her entire body entered a Quantum state, turning blue and slightly translucent before ultimately disappearing entirely. "Phantom of the Past!"
With Seele's voice echoing,
Bochang could no longer locate her position.
He only spotted several blue butterflies composed of Quantum energy nearby.
Seriously? You're using your ultimate move already? Can't handle it?
In the next moment...
Bochang's Spider Sense kicked in.
`Incoming attacks: left calf, right shoulder, lower back...'
Now, Bochang could no longer remain stationary as Seele unleashed her full power, displaying considerable skill... If he continued to stand idle, he would undoubtedly get hurt.
And Bochang had no desire for injuries.
Thus, his only choice was to dodge and block simultaneously.
Blue flashes continuously lit up the air around them.
These were Seele's swift strikes, appearing rapidly one after another within brief moments.
As she attacked,
faint glimpses of Seele's phantom figure could be discerned amidst the flurry.
However, due to her extreme Speed, it was difficult to follow, forcing Bochang to rely on Bai Niao Chao Huang Qiang (Hundred Birds Towards Phoenix Spear) technique to counter.
The incessant clanging sounds echoed throughout Rivet Town.
Weapons collided, sparks flying everywhere, as the two engaged fiercely...
With Seele's location invisible, opening his eyes would only distract him from the blue butterflies and phantom slashes swirling in the air. Therefore, Bochang decided to close his eyes, relying entirely on Spider Sense to react to attacks.
This intense battle persisted for several dozen seconds.
Eventually, as Seele's stamina waned, Bochang used the butt of the Vow Spear to forcefully eject her from the Quantum state.
The disheveled blue-haired girl flew far away.
Had it not been for Seele's quick reflexes, swiftly tapping her feet on the ground several times,
she would have lost balance and undoubtedly taken a hard tumble.
"Phew...phew... Not bad, I must admit." Seele's breaths were heavy, yet she stubbornly glared at Bochang. "But...I won't concede that easily!"
"Seele, do you really want to continue fighting? Don't you think I've proven my identity now?" A slight twitch appeared at the corner of Bochang's mouth.
Seele nodded resolutely. "Perhaps you truly are Bochang, but...you also admitted to having ulterior motives, right? Unless you provide a reasonable explanation, I won't let you off so easily."
"Hmph...don't think saving Belobog gives you free rein to act recklessly."
As Seele spoke, she tightened her grip on the exaggeratedly large scythe.
Since the adversary hadn't continued attacking but instead paused for negotiation, it indicated there might still be a chance to explain oneself clearly.
Bochang was about to respond when...
