Chapter 362: Chapter 261: The one I’m least worried about is Ailin!
Countless fists rained down on Long Yi, producing a resounding roar. In an instant, Long Yi’s chest clothing was torn asunder! Smoldering! What speed! What power!
The onslaught came quickly, and it retreated just as swiftly. The siblings retreated, only to see Long Yi in tatters as well as a worried look on Ai Lin’s face standing behind him.
"Cough! Cough! That was impressive." Long Yi coughed twice; his turbulent blood gradually calming down. He ripped off his smoldering coat and threw it on the ground, revealing his robust torso.
"Brother Long, are you okay?" Ai Lin asked softly.
"I’m fine." Long Yi flexed his chest, feeling no serious injury, before reassuming his fighting stance, speaking to his opponents.
"Apologies, I tend to have high defensive ability, which seems a bit unfair."
Frei smile: "Having high defense is a skill of its own, there’s nothing to be apologetic about."
"Even though I appreciate your nonchalant attitude, you’ll still have to pay me for my clothes." Long Yi grinned. Instantaneously, Long Yi’s expression suddenly changed, saying: "For some reason, I feel like someone else owes me something too... what was it?"
At this point, sweat beads began to emerge on Cain’s forehead, who was watching the battle from the side. He had destroyed Long Yi’s famed frost sorrow sword with a strike of his own. This frost sorrow sword, as it was used by Elsa before, was well-known. Among Dragon Knights, several used its replicas. Yet none were as exquisite as this sword. Considering that Long Yi is Elsa’s boyfriend, the frost sorrow sword he had must have been an original.
Who knows how much it’s worth!
Of course, it was just a remark by Long Yi. He didn’t take it seriously, nor did he have time for that.
Because, it was his turn to attack!
"Ai Lin! Attack! I’ll go first! You find your timing!"
"Okay!"
With that, Long Yi and Ai Lin charged.
Since Long Yi had chosen to attack proactively, he would, of course, disregard defense. By using his immense strength and impressive agility, Long Yi sent a flurry of random punches through the air. While it seemed chaotic, Frei noticed that his arms had effectively blocked all his offensive routes, forcing him to go on the defense!
Long Yi’s attack may not be pleasing to the eye, but it was effective!
Boom!
A hard punch landed on the siblings’ fists. The siblings were forced to retreat several steps before stabilizing. What immense power! At this moment, Ai Lin found her position too, and seeing the opponents retreating, she dashed forward. She is adept in leg attacks, more than punches. A person’s legs are much longer and stronger than their fists. Hence, from the very beginning, Long Yi had been training Ai Lin to use her leg attacks more often. This time, Ai Lin executed her leg technique magnificently, integrating the styles of taekwondo and Muay Thai. It incorporated the broad movements of taekwondo and the swift, ruthless precision of Muay Thai.
Long Yi unexpectedly leapt high and descended from the sky like a massive stone.
Crash!
With one heavy stomp, the siblings were split apart.
"Alright, it looks like we can each take one now."
Long Yi said with a smile.
But Frei laughed too.
"If you think you can win by separating us, you’re gravely mistaken. Because when we siblings are together, it’s not to enhance our power, but to suppress it!"
Boom!
Frei and Freya’s bodies suddenly showed faint dragon scales, and they ignited simultaneously!
"Dragon Blood Syndrome!"
Ai Lin shouted.
If a mother comes into contact with dragon blood essence bearing dragon power during her pregnancy, the essence is eventually absorbed by the fetus, resulting in the birth of a child with Dragon Blood Syndrome.
The most significant feature of Dragon Blood Syndrome is that the bearer possesses a certain degree of fighting aura or mana from birth. Also, during times of emotional instability, the bearer’s dragon blood can trigger a transformation into a dragon. However, this transformation isn’t permanent; once the body’s dragon power is exhausted, the transformation will automatically cease.
"This is quite intriguing." Long Yi observed, intrigued.
"How about we wait for a bit? I can’t suppress my fighting aura during the surge, it should recede in about ten minutes," Frei suggestd.
"No need." Long Yi dissipated his fighting aura with a smile. "Go all out!"
Frei nodded, saying, "That works! But I must warn you, Miss Ai Lin. Although you are a Fairy Dragon, be cautious when confronting my sister. Among us siblings, she’s the most robust!"
Long Yi just laughed, "You should worry about yourself!"
Boom!
Two fists collided once again without any flourish. Long Yi and Frei both retreated a step simultaneously, then advanced a step, and their fists collided again.
Just two strikes had caused the ground to peel away a layer!
"Good!" Frei shouted. He had put almost everything into these two punches, and undoubtedly, Long Yi had given it his all too!
"The best is yet to come!" Long Yi led the attack! That’s just Long Yi’s personality; he always prefers to strike first. The best defense is offense at any given time!
Although the current scenario was still about hand-to-hand combat, the moment fighting aura was involved, the contest immediately changed.
Explosions, destruction!
However, the most intense fight wasn’t on Long Yi’s side. It was between Ai Lin and Freya! The reason being Freya was also a Magic Fighter!
Everyone knew what would ensue when two Magic Fighters went head-to-head in hand-to-hand combat.
"Ethereal Light Shield!"
"Sail with the Wind!"
"Ears of the Fox, Eyes of the Owl!"
"Tide of Mana!"
"Double Spellcasting!"
"Triple Casting!"
"Burst Casting!"
"Physical Enhancement!"
"Swift Technique!"
Various enhancements were cast on both of them one after another, then they proceeded into a dizzying display of hand-to-hand combat and magic confrontations.
If it were up to their Mana, Elsa was obviously no match for Freya who possessed six dragon marks. However, Elsa, being a half-dragon body, had an advantage that Freya lacked - dragon power affinity.
Freya by nature is human, even if she is infected with the dragon-blood disease, she still is a person. And when she uses dragon power, she wants to transform dragon power into Mana. This takes time, no matter how short it is, it does need time.
But Elsa is different.
You can say that Elsa is human, but you can also say that she’s a dragon. When Elsa uses magic, she uses dragon power directly! Also, a magic fighter’s combat method usually involves spellcasting via physical contact. In other words, you need to hit the other person before casting a spell, which may mean missing fleeting opportunities. Yet, Elsa can precisely seize this timing.
On the other hand, Freya, being a dragon blood disease carrier, has her defense greatly enhanced, making her less afraid of magic. However, for Elsa, she has a double defense.
She herself is a dragon, which naturally resists both magic and fighting aura. Her body not only has dragon scales, but also a layer of black tight fitting soft armor.
This black armor made from a special material, comprising of a Crystal Core and the remnants of the Ghost Dragon, is extremely tough. It offers improved resistance against both magic and fighting aura.
With these factors balancing each other, even though Freya is stronger and boosted by the dragon blood disease, she’s momentarily at a stalemate with Elsa.
"It seems like Miss Elsa can’t hold on much longer!" Suddenly, in the midst of the fight, Frei spoke.
"Bro, why are you suddenly talking nonsense?" Long Yi laughed, simultaneously launching a whipkick toward Frei.
Freya swiftly pivoted on the spot, dodging Long Yi’s whipkick. In mid-air, she kicked directly towards Long Yi’s head! "I’m not talking nonsense, she is actually on the verge of losing!"
"Just wait and see!" Watching the raised leg of the opponent, Long Yi retreated on the spot, swiftly rushing forward with a straight kick, aiming at Frei’s chest. "If you really think she is about to lose, that means your sister is close to losing too!"
"What?" Frei blocked with both hands, bravely withstanding Long Yi’s kick, using the force from the impact, he manages to return to an upright position. To his surprise, Elsa, who seemed fatigued, suddenly rushed at Freya.
"Because, this is our secret technique!"
Infinite Combo.
This was a technique that Long Yi, who is seemingly obsessed with fighting games, carefully researched. In the previous world, it was challenging to implement. But in this world, if one’s strength and agility reach a particular level, theoretically it is possible to execute an infinite combo.
The so-called Infinite Combo, is not typical like those in games, with haphazard skills strung together. Rather, it involves using the motion of the previous move to initiate the next. The action changes depending on the enemy, the most reliable way being forcing or inducing the enemy to move as desired, subsequently exploiting the enemy’s opening to launch the continuous combo, leaving the enemy defenseless.
This is somewhat similar to the flawless coordination between the Frei-siblings, but there is a slight difference. The siblings rely purely on their speed and do not consider initiating the next move, they solely rely on speed to overwhelm opponents. Long Yi’s Infinite Combo is different, it needs to constantly change according to the opponent’s condition.
In simple terms, Long Yi believes that even he himself would find it hard to pull off.
But he believes in Elsa.
Elsa is smarter, more flexible! And as a magic fighter, she has more options!
Then, Elsa’s performance began.
Complex magic continuously fired from Elsa’s fists and feet. Freya, forced onto the defensive, had no chance to counter-attack. Because Elsa’s next attack would surely cut off her attack route!
"Sister!"
Frei finally panics a little, trying to break out of Long Yi’s confinement to assist Freya. But Long Yi was like a door deity, not letting him advance an inch. Moreover, Long Yi no longer took the initiative to attack, but merely suppressed Frei.
Long Yi’s intention was very obvious.
This was Elsa’s performance!
Elsa kept attacking, kept bombarding. Finally, Freya carelessly exposed a slight flaw!
Whoosh!
The tip of the pointed heel stopped right in front of Freya’s chest, not advancing any further.
"I lost!" Freya declared reluctantly.
Frei was first taken aback, followed by a smile returning to his face. Then, the flames engulfing his body extinguished too.
Ten minutes were up.
"We concede this round." Frei said.
Freya obediently returned to her brother’s side, much like a long-awaited reunion, both siblings let out a sigh of relief. (To be continued.
