Chapter 243 I've Never Seen Such a Request in My Life (5.1k)
"Die, scoundrel!"
In a sinister bellow, the Goddess of Conspiracy, Melinoe, wielding two daggers, pounced toward the pretty boy who disrupted the harmony of the Netherworld's household. Dark deathly aura and twisted vitality swirled around her, clinging to the blades like two furious dragons of black and white.
Luo En squinted his eyes; behind him, the golden wheel rotated, positioning to the fifth slot, from which the blood-soaked [warrior] emerged.
He then casually broke off a golden bough from the garden, using it as a sword, unconsciously mimicking Athena's tone when she had tormented him years ago, and spoke leisurely.
"That's all? Let me teach you how to use a sword!"
No sooner had he spoken than the scarlet blood essence stirred the violent Aether Tide. The wind swept through like a storm, and a blazing sword light burst from the tip of the golden branch in Luo En's hand, overwhelming the two daggers with tremendous force and charging straight for Melinoe's throat.@@@@
The sword edge had not yet arrived, but the slicing wind pressure already caused Melinoe's skin to sting.
Realizing the terrifying destructive power it contained, the Goddess of Conspiracy dared not intercept it head-on and quickly ducked and shifted to the side, attempting to dodge this sudden strike.
"Too slow!"
In the blink of an eye, Luo En's wheel of light spun behind him, the stern [warrior] transformed into the rapid [goat], advancing at lightning speed to thrust the sword tip right in front of Melinoe, then striking down heavily.
"Smack!"
"Ahh~"
The crisp snapping sound echoed through the forest, Melinoe clutching her buttocks, which radiated a fiery pain, and glared fiercely at the pretty boy across from her.
"Hmm, nice look in your eyes, but unfortunately, looks alone won't kill anyone."
Luo En tapped the garden golden bough gently in his other hand's palm, teasing with a smile.
Unable to tolerate the provocation, Melinoe, enraged, pushed the dual divinities of life and death within her body to their limits, like a fiercely nursing wolf cub, showing her fangs once more towards her mysterious opponent.
However, the skills and strength of the two were not on the same level.
The sweeping golden bough sometimes resembled a sharp, viciously thrusting rapier, sometimes a heavily chopping greatsword, and sometimes a flexible shortsword...
It even used the tactics of a long spear when thrusting and transformed into the style of a battle saber when retracting...
In short, it changed unpredictably, impossible to defend against.
If Athena were present, she would recognize that this was Luo En's own combat style formed by [Infinite Weapon Training].
—As long as it benefits the situation, it does not stick to any particular style of movement; all techniques under heaven could be utilized for his use.
According to the Goddess of Wisdom's assessment, this fancy system could achieve good results against opponents of equal or lesser strength, but against truly skilled experts specializing in one method, it wasn't necessarily effective.
At most, respond to all changes with constancy, with one method breaking all others.
Luo En had fought Athena many times, and although the Goddess of Wisdom stated that to avoid bullying the junior she always approached with the mindset of sparring, lowering her strength to the same level as Luo En's,
Ultimately, it always ended up with Luo En being the one thoroughly beaten—this was very telling.
However, it's a pity that the opponent was not the overwhelmingly powerful Athena...
And indeed, she was even weaker...
Hence, Luo En's [Infinite Weapon Training] demonstrated its utmost advantage, exploiting the endlessly varying tactics to repeatedly and effortlessly break through Melinoe's defense, striking her arms, back, and buttocks repeatedly.
"Smack, smack, smack, smack!"
The crisp smacking noises resonated continuously, interweaving in the woods into a jubilant symphony, subjecting Melinoe to a thorough thrashing until she, in extreme grief and humiliation, could no longer bear it.
"I'm going all out against you!"
