Richard thought that even if he was hit by the dagger, he wouldn't get injured at all. He surmised that it was probably just a distraction that Vincent created to retreat.
Furthermore, the throw wasn't even quick so anyone who had seen him attack could probably dodge it.
However, the Astral Night Dagger that was aid at his previous spot suddenly changed direction!
The dagger moved like it has its own life!
'Sh-it!'
Richard hastily raised his blade to block the dagger but to his surprise, the dagger cut through his Unique Magic Blade and continued to stab his chest…
Bang!
Luckily, his chainmail armor's effect hidden beneath his coat activated as it stopped the dagger from stabbing him.
The explosion was caused by its skill effect called reactive armor… By creating a controlled explosion, it could block most attacks made by mana arts.
Obviously, it was also effective in negating physical attacks like the dagger. The only problem with this is that he would be stunned by half a second…
Currently, he was fully equipped with tools and weapons that are all Unique-Rank and above! Richard felt glad listening to his sister. He initially thought of removing the heavy chainmail as he knows that he will just be fighting against a blind man…
He now realized that Vincent had prepared really well this ti.
He looked at the blind man in front of him. He estimated that he can reach him in just 8 more steps. Once he reached him, he would surely punch that annoyingly good-looking face.
"Throw everything you got! Hahaha!" Richard laughed out loud as he felt confident with his armor.
He then pulled out his steel rod ready to smash Vincent's knees so he won't be able to run away.
However, he was shocked to see the dagger in Vincent's hands again! He instinctively looked at the dagger that his reactive armor reflected and realized that it wasn't there anymore!
'What? Can it return to its owner on its own? Or is it an illusion?... No, my magic blade was destroyed. That attack was real…'
Richard frowned not understanding the logic behind Vincent's attack.
Swoosh~
Vincent threw the dagger again but this ti, it wasn't as clumsy as before…
"Tsk!" Richard was no longer arrogant as he dodged quickly. He recalled that it managed to pierce his blade after all.
However, he imdiately regretted his decision. He had forgotten that it could change direction!
"Crap!" The dagger no longer targeted his chainmail but his neck!
How vicious! Vincent wanted to kill him!
Richard gritted his teeth as he no longer hesitated and used one of his trump cards… One of his rings shattered into many pieces before his body turned corporeal as the dagger passed through him before he returned to normal.
"W-what was that?!"
"Is that even an Elental Mana Art!"
"No, that's probably another Epheral Mana Art…"
"This Richard is so rich!"
"Hmph! He still didn't win in a single move!"
The crowd watching was surprised by what they have just seen. They do not know any similar Tier 1 to Tier 4 Mana Arts that is capable of doing that.
As for that being Tier 5 Mana Art, there isn't a single chance since all Tier 5 arts can't be contained by re objects. That level is only for the Grand Magus themselves…
"Shit…" Richard cursed after retreating... He just used up an expensive Magic Artifact! This type of artifact is sothing that can no longer be reproduced! As far as he knows, none of the current magic craftsn were capable of imitating this type of ability!
That move was considered to be a lost technique and normally, it shouldn't be used in such a duel! Not even a minute had passed and Richard already wasted so much money! His older sister would surely scold him after this battle.
Richard gritted his teeth in anger as he saw the dagger appear in Vincent's hand again.
'You want to kill ?' Richard seethed in anger.
He realized that Vincent's dagger is probably a Magic Artifact that can return to its owner. It may not sound powerful but for a sharp dagger to possess this ability is definitely terrifying. Perhaps this is a perfect weapon for assassination.
"So you think you're going to win against with that dagger?! You wish!"
Richard shouted as he prepared his Mana Arts.
He can't make any more mistakes. As he realized that he don't know anything about Vincent aside from the rumors he heard, he decided to just probe him a little bit more and used his Elental Mana Arts. He wanted to make sure whether the dagger is indeed what he was relying on to win against him.
Although he's not that incredible who could use a Fusion Art similar to Lesley, he still mastered the Wind and Earth elent and he even has a couple of Mana Arts in Advanced State!
This was already considered better than normal elites at his age.
Richard jumped back so he could easily react if the dagger was thrown again. After that, he triggered his strongest long-range Mana Art.
Razor Wind!
The wind Mana Art wasn't created with the help of any tools or artifacts, it was his own creation through his skills in converting mana into an elent.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
An invisible attack ca rushing to Vincent… Although it wasn't as strong as the Cloud Tiger a while ago, it was still extrely fast!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The razor wind continued hitting Vincent's defenses. The crowd couldn't exactly tell whether it was Vincent's Aura, Mana, or Magic Tools that is helping him to defend but they were very impressed. He wasn't even budging from where he stands!
Nevertheless, this made them realize how tough his defenses were. Seeing that his wind elent is nothing to Vincent, he prepared to use his Earth Elental Mana Art…
"You—"
Richard didn't have the ti to release his mana as nurous Iron Vines started coming for him!
He used his Earth Shifting to get away from Vincent's range but he suddenly felt dizzy as he lost his balance…
Soul Pressure! Domain!
Everyone was alard.
"W-what?! Is that coming from him?"
"This blind man is crazy!"
"So strong! How can he do this to everyone?"
The crowd was stunned not by the two Aura Skills since they have experienced this before. They were stunned because it was their first ti to experience such might that could affect the whole central arena!
That's right! Even the crowd including the Arena Master was affected by the Domain and Soul Pressure!
It was as if Vincent wanted to challenge all of them!
