Chapter 363: Chapter 337: Ultimate!

Two scythes, crossed over, slashed towards Rocky!

In an instant, two flashes of cold light passed by, landing steadfastly on Rocky’s body…

Crack…

The Magic Energy Shield that Rocky held in front of him shattered in the moment those two flashes of cold light passed, first breaking into four pieces before they reverted back to mana and vanished from sight.

It was precisely at the moment when the Magic Energy Shield was easily shattered that, with a swoosh, Rocky, who had barely blocked the attack with his shield, flashed to the side of the Knife Fox Demon and swung his sword down!

This time, he didn’t choose to run, but instead chose to counterattack!

This wasn’t because Rocky had found a way to deal with the Knife Fox Demon; in fact, in his view, he simply couldn’t stand up to a high-level demon. His daring counterattack wasn’t because he truly could kill his opponent, but solely for the sake of self-preservation!

Running away had already been attempted to no avail. The White Demon Armor wasn’t adept at accelerating for extended periods, utterly incapable of shaking off the Knife Fox Demon. Moreover, let’s not forget that Backhill Village lay behind him. Even if he could shake off the Knife Fox Demon, where could he flee to?

Back to Thunderhawk City?

With the White Demon Armor, he might be able to make it, but even if he did escape back there, what about the people left in Backhill Village? They absolutely wouldn’t have time to run away, and once everyone in Backhill Village died, even if Rocky successfully made it back to Thunderhawk City, he would be nothing but a lone individual, having lost everything!

So, he had no choice but to fight, even though he knew full well that he couldn’t defeat the formidable high-level demon.

In a flicker, Rocky appeared at the Knife Fox Demon’s side and didn’t hesitate to chop down with his sword, only to hear a clang–the Mana Sword, already reinforced by the armor’s mana, was directly blocked by the scythe!

An expected turn of events.

The strike being blocked was no surprise to Rocky, who immediately accelerated his armor and appeared on the other side in the blink of an eye.

The series of exchanges he had previously had with the Knife Fox Demon had given Rocky a rough understanding of this type of demon. He already knew the speed of the Knife Fox Demon, and that its scythe was its biggest advantage. Its strength was also far superior; although it couldn’t fly, it could leap continuously in the air, which meant that for Rocky, the demon was practically unbeatable.

In such a situation, he had tried running, to no effect; he had also tried ranged attacks, but the opponent’s speed had long surpassed that of the Magic Energy Bullets and the Magic Energy Beams, so they couldn’t hit him. As for the Demon Annihilation Cannon… perhaps its power was sufficient to kill or severely injure the enemy, but it took at least three seconds to initiate the Demon Annihilation Cannon, and in that time, the Knife Fox Demon would have enough time to kill him dozens of times over. Therefore, the only method of fighting back was close-quarters combat.

In a small-scale close combat scenario, Rocky could push the speed of the Void Magic Armor to its absolute limit. At this extreme, he was confident he wouldn’t lose to the enemy in speed. Once he could keep up, he would find opportunities to attack, which in turn meant that the enemy’s chances to attack would decrease, and his own likelihood of surviving would greatly increase!

In an instant, after making a swift 180-degree turn, Rocky appeared on the other side of the Knife Fox Demon and executed a sweep aimed directly at its waist.

Yet again, there was a clang as the sweeping Mana Sword was firmly blocked by the scythe, but Rocky promptly withdrew and, after a quick ninety-degree turn, appeared behind the Knife Fox Demon and raised his Mana Sword to chop down.

But this time, just as he had raised his Mana Sword, no, merely halfway up, the Knife Fox Demon turned around with unimaginable speed, preempting his move!

This…

How is that possible!!

“`

Rocky watched in disbelief as the Knife Fox Demon turned around, experiencing a moment of distraction, for he thought it was utterly impossible!

In such close-range combat, the speed and agility of the White Demon Armor were the best of the best, presumably only surpassed by more advanced custom Armors. No other Special Armor could boast superiority in this aspect over the White Demon, so he was confident that he wouldn’t be outpaced by the opponent in such a skirmish.

But he was wrong, and the Knife Fox Demon’s effortless turn before his eyes was proof of this!

And in that brief moment of distraction, the Knife Fox Demon, having fully turned around, raised the Scythe in its left hand…

In an instant, Rocky saw a flash of cold light!

That’s right, not a single flash, but a sweep of cold lights!

One slash?

Two slashes?

Three slashes?

Or four?

It was simply too fast!

In the blink of an eye as the Knife Fox raised its hand, Rocky couldn’t make out how many times the Scythe had been swung. He saw at least three slashes in that instant but felt certain there were more than three, certain that he must have missed some…

“Ah! My lord, the lord he…!”

When Rocky and the Knife Fox Demon clashed blades, the people of Backhill Village didn’t flee; instead, they stood atop the city walls, witnessing everything.

These people knew they couldn’t leave; in front of a high-level demon, they would be struck down even before a warship could take off. Their only hope was Rocky, hoping that he would emerge victorious.

So, as Rocky and the Knife Fox Demon engaged in their blade fight, everyone watched, though to their eyes, Rocky and the Knife Fox Demon were merely shades of black and white darting about at high speed, impossible to make out clearly. Yet, they all clenched their fists, silently cheering Rocky on.

But at that moment, the white silhouette representing Rocky was suddenly sent flying backwards!

With a loud bang, Rocky was sent flying dozens of meters before crashing heavily to the ground, and his Armor was now marred with no fewer than six slashes!

The Scarred Demon had swung its Scythe six times in the span of raising its hand! And each slash had landed firmly on Rocky’s breastplate, nearly shredding the chest of the White Demon Armor…

But fortunately, the White Demon Armor had been designed with a powerful Demon Annihilation Cannon hidden within its chest plate. The chest plate was not only thick but also had the strongest defensive power. When the sharp edge of the Scythe hit the breastplate, it fortunately only shattered the protective layer, sparing Rocky any harm.

It must be said that the White Demon Armor saved Rocky’s life this time. Had the White Demon Armor not been forged from the best materials, then even with a protective layer and an internal Demon Annihilation Cannon as a buffer, the sharpness of the Knife Fox Demon’s Scythe would have been enough to cleave both the Armor and Rocky to pieces.

However, the material of the White Demon Armor could save him once but not a second time, after striking Rocky and sending him flying, the Knife Fox Demon leaped up above him, then, quickly turning in mid-air and aiming headfirst downward, completed a powerful double jump with a forceful push from its hind legs, rushing towards him at extreme speed. During the charge, the pair of Scythes in its hands already aimed at his head!
