Chapter 1962: Chapter 1962: Scheming
For Amon, every other creature in this world was no more than an ant, and naturally, she didn’t care about the thoughts of these ants, so she had no hesitation about her plan.
However, these very ants not only discovered her protection but also trapped her in a way that made recovery impossible.
Now, with this realm on the verge of destruction, Amon must go all out. If this attempt fails, her end will come.
The Enchantress had long stopped caring. Her temperament was not suited for being a host; she simply sat atop a building watching the sacrificial scene. In reality, she was digesting the battle techniques and skills passed on by the Dance King.
Admittedly, though this realm was small, someone like the Salary King, a top-tier warrior, was still remarkably powerful and stunningly brilliant.
The skills acquired can’t be said to be weak, but they are too coarse and primitive, far inferior to the complete heritage of the main realm.
Of course, perhaps Amon never intended to pass on the truly good things, but in the end, it worked in their favor.
Although the battle skills of the Salary King were a bit weak, the fighting techniques were mesmerizing.
This reminded her of Li Yao’s battle rhythm and footwork. With Li Yao’s strength increasing, the combination of battle skills and techniques became very ingenious and increasingly formidable. Recently, this kind of technique wandering between life and death has rarely been seen.
The experience and images passed on by the Salary King were mostly of positioning in complex situations and battle techniques that use leverage.
Through the images, the Enchantress learned that the Dance King was once the last Goddess Princess. Although called a princess, with the sealing of the Holy City, these pure descendants of the gods were worse off than a fallen phoenix.
She was good at singing and dancing, and for a time, traveled the continent with a troupe relying on dance.
Later, she awakened the Holy Fire and received the legacy of the fourth Salary King, embarking on the path of a strong warrior.
She then became the Salary King. Over long explorations, she integrated her dance techniques into her fighting skills.
This is where the Dance King comes from. Amid thousands of troops, amidst wanton magic, a graceful silhouette danced, pleasing to the eye.
Yet this captivating spectacle was actually the Dance of Death. With her figure flashing, enemies fell one after another. That was her defining battle as the Salary King, breaking through ten thousand troops alone, saving a city.
Her combat skills were infused with dance, making her movements more elusive and flexible.
This allowed her to dodge attacks that ordinary people would see as unavoidable. It also meant that she could attack from unbelievable angles.
Although it was full of aesthetic beauty, it was tricky and eerie, with a chilling lethal intent.
Moreover, she came to a startling conclusion through analysis.
Li Yao’s techniques and skills largely relied on formidable spiritual power, using absolute insight and self-control to wield combat power beyond his rank.
The dancer, in contrast, did not train in spiritual power but naturally honed it through battle techniques, relying on the techniques themselves.
This means that as long as she studies properly, she can quickly master them without needing a foundation of spiritual power like what Li Yao taught.
Of course, there’s no saying which is better or worse, and there’s absolutely no conflict or contradiction between them.
Quite the opposite, the two can complement each other, most suitable for herself at this stage. The benefits of strong spiritual power are undeniable, but when it is weak, the Dance King’s techniques become crucial. Moreover, studying these techniques also enhances spiritual power, increasing self-control, which allows more freedom in using the Dance King’s techniques, endlessly.
This is not to blame Li Yao. In the last life, there was no guidance. It was all a group of people exploring, and many proposed theories before making efforts to validate them.
During the process, they discovered the crucial role of spiritual power, which led Li Yao to believe in using it as a basis.
Of course, this isn’t wrong; it’s just that under the System, progress seemed slow, but that was the view of the Starfire people. For others, this method was very fast.
It only shows different starting points. Starfire members, especially core ones, can intuitively feel Li Yao’s strength and naturally become more urgent, realizing their gaps and shortcomings, making the original way of improving seem unsatisfactory.
The Enchantress’s eyes grew brighter, as if she saw a new doorway. Eagerly studying the techniques of the Dance King’s legacy, she gained immensely.
After busying himself for over half an hour, Li Yao finally set up an array glowing with purple light at the top of the manor’s main building.
Then he sat in the center of the array, his body gradually starting to oscillate with purple ripples.
“Are we ready, what do I need to do?” the Enchantress asked.
“You don’t need to do anything, just watch the show, but if there are small fries causing trouble, you need to handle it,” Li Yao said.
“Alright, I’ll be attentive.” The Enchantress nodded and stood up, stopping her observation of the legacy.
Li Yao took out a crystal glowing with a purple light, and suddenly crushed it. The crystal shards did not scatter but congregated in the center of his palm, forming a peculiar rune.
Bang!
Li Yao activated the Ancient God Transformation. The runes and nodes of the array burst out with more dazzling light, and a column of light shot into the distorted space.
The bright light here also attracted some attention, but it was now a critical time for the ritual, and no one dared to be distracted. Even the Archbishop’s expression changed momentarily, but he continued chanting the sacrificial spells.
Capture!
Countless tentacles enshrouded in black mist madly charged out from the pillar of light, seemingly merging into the Void.
Then, above the ritual, right beside the Golden Giant, the space suddenly shattered. A mass of smoke-and-mist tentacles erupted and began to madly absorb the extremely dense life and soul power.
A thunderous roar erupted from the mouth of the Golden Giant. The unmoving Golden Giant smashed the spatial rift with a slap, but though those tentacles were shattered, they couldn’t be extinguished, continuing to madly absorb the permeating Sacrificial Power.
Even more infuriating for the Golden Giant was that its phantom hand was also penetrated by many small currents of black mist, which instead absorbed its own strength, preventing her from being annihilated.
“Insignificant ants dare disturb this god’s sacrificial ceremony!” the Golden Giant’s eyes suddenly opened, and two beams of light shot out.
“Think you can kill with a gaze? I can do it too.”
Li Yao’s dark eyes immediately emitted a faint glow, shooting out dark purple beams, clashing with the two golden beams in the city’s center.
Crackle, crackle!
The colliding beams scattered light below, causing the buildings to catch fire.
“Damn it, who are you, and why are you stealing my power?” The Golden Giant grew annoyed upon finding that this move couldn’t subdue the opponent…
