Immortal Creed Chapter 86: Continuously Frustrated

Just as everyone thought Liens was about to be killed by Adonis.

Even Ben, who was watching the two fight from the side, couldn't help but want to rush in and join the battle to help Liens.

Liens, who had been primarily on the defensive, suddenly burst forth with an extrely fast direct thrust, instantly striking towards Adonis.

Adonis, who was about to unleash a heavy slash towards Liens, reacted too slowly, watching helplessly as the sword rapidly approached his neck.

This strike was the result of Liens, through "Insight," collecting the opponent's combat data during their successive clashes and gradually guiding him to expose this fatal flaw.

In Liens's premonition, he would be cut by Adonis's longsword, perhaps even losing an arm.

But Adonis absolutely could not block his sword, even if his skin defense was stronger than ordinary people, perhaps even comparable to a monster.

But even a monster, as long as its neck didn't have any special defense, couldn't block his explosive direct thrust.

The Wind Wolf knew this well.

Therefore, as long as no accidents occurred, he, Liens, was sure to win this battle.

Exchanging injury for life was the way Liens chose to break the deadlock.

This was also the only way he could achieve victory under the suppression of physical attributes.

Of course, this was mainly because he didn't know enough about Adonis yet.

The ti and number of battles were insufficient, and "Insight's" data collection on Adonis was not yet comprehensive and perfect.

Once the data was complete, he wouldn't need to use such a dangerous thod to deal with Adonis.

Just like facing a Wind Wolf, as long as he understood them well enough, Liens could toy with opponents who couldn't utterly crush him.

The sa applied to Adonis...

Although he wasn't a monster, the gap in skill made him, in Liens's eyes, truly just a high-end version of a Wind Wolf. Publi!c$ati*o&n$ co$urt e@s y of **.

Silver light stread down from above, carrying large amounts of blood that splattered into the air.

A severed arm tumbled in the air, finally falling to the ground.

Liens frowned tightly, allowing the intense pain from his severed arm to sweep through his body, yet maintaining his attack unchanged.

Unfortunately... the final outco was not as he wished.

A familiar light barrier blocked Liens's sword tip, preventing Adonis from being pierced through the neck.

Seeing that his attack had no effect, Liens quickly retreated, dodging Adonis's enraged sweeping attack.

As he retreated, a large amount of blood gushed from Liens's left arm, which was less than half intact, staining a large area of the warehouse floor and walls.

"Liens!"

Ben exclaid.

"Don't co over, Ben! The battle isn't over yet..."

Liens stopped Ben, who wanted to rush over, holding his sword in his right hand, his gaze still fixed on Adonis in front of him.

"Another magic barrier, it's truly endless."

"Marvin had one, Adonis has one too, is it that every rich person wears that kind of magic ring?"

Liens grumbled inwardly.

He felt that he and that magic barrier were absolutely fated to clash, otherwise why would it ruin his good deeds ti and ti again.

Are they just bullying him because his attack power isn't enough to break it?

"You actually, you actually..."

Adonis at this mont could be said to be furious, so angry that he couldn't speak.

Of course, it was also possible he was feeling lingering fear, and at the sa ti, relieved that he was wearing the Protection Ring.

Previously, he had found this item useless because it couldn't block an Extraordinary One's attack and only took effect when truly fatal damage was inflicted.

If it weren't for its special symbolic aning, he wouldn't have cared about it at all.

But he never expected that the very thing he considered useless had saved his life.

As he spoke, Adonis directly charged at Liens, holding his sword, protected by the magic barrier ford by the Protection Ring.

In response, Liens naturally dodged while continuing to look for an opening to counterattack.

Now he only had his right hand, and holding a sword with one arm made it difficult to block Adonis's attacks.

So Liens primarily focused on dodging, only using his longsword to parry Adonis's slashes when absolutely necessary.

After about ten seconds, the light barrier around Adonis disappeared. Seeing this, Liens prepared to counterattack.

Liens was unsure if that kind of magic ring would activate a second ti?

He hadn't had a chance to test this on Marvin.

After the first attack, due to the Contract's punishnt, he found it difficult to swing his sword again for a short period.

Moreover, each ti Marvin was startled awake and saw his figure by the bed, the effect of the Protection Ring on Marvin would be triggered.

Realizing sothing was wrong, Marvin imdiately cursed, directly using the Contract's restraint to kill him.

So, after testing the magic barrier on Marvin a few tis and finding it very difficult to break with his own attacks, he gave up trying.

After all, the Contract's punishnt truly hurt.

He just liked killing people, he wasn't a masochist, so he naturally gave up after realizing his attempts were futile.

Therefore, facing Adonis's next offensive, Liens did not intend to use the thod of exchanging injury for life to attack the opponent's vital parts again.

Because he didn't know which hand Adonis was wearing that "magic ring" on, he planned to sever both of Adonis's hands first.

That way, even if Adonis's magic barrier wasn't emitted by a "magic ring" like Marvin's, he would still lose his ability to resist, and then he could kill him.

Anyway, he didn't believe this magic barrier could be continuously triggered.

If it really could, then he would just accept his loss, it was just an instance after all, at most he would die.

Rather, wasn't he already dead for sure?

After doing sothing like this, the Glenbagen Family would never let him go.

Just as Liens found another opening and was about to swing his sword to strike Adonis, a familiar intense pain suddenly swept over him.

"Damn it, the Contract again!"

A thought flashed through Liens's mind.

Imdiately after, he staggered, almost losing his balance, and was then struck in the chest by Adonis's sword.

"Ah..."

The dual intense pain in his brain and body made Liens scream uncontrollably.

Subsequently, he fell to the ground, kneeling on both knees, propping himself up with his longsword in his right hand, preventing himself from falling flat.

However, although Liens was still holding on, he was now essentially a lamb to the slaughter for Adonis.

"Liens."

Seeing the unexpected turn of events, Ben shouted, then swung his sword and charged at Adonis, intending to force him back and save Liens.

However, Adonis casually blocked Ben's attack, then quickly drew his sword and severed Ben's sword-wielding arm.

Making him a "one-ard hero" just like Liens.

"Ah..."

Ben let out a suppressed cry of pain, but his remaining hand still tightly gripped his longsword, aid at Adonis.

Adonis saw that Ben, even with a severed arm, dared to attack him, and directly kicked him away.

He didn't want to kill these two little thieves so simply right now.

He would make sure these two experienced the humiliation he suffered today.

"Next ti, it's better to choose a ti when Ben isn't around."

Liens watched Ben's arm being severed by Adonis, thinking silently to himself.

After repeated setbacks, he knew this instance was about to end.

But he still wanted to see which guy dared to interrupt his battle?

If he didn't "repay" them, it wouldn't be in line with his personality.

"Adonis, are you alright?"

A gentle female voice sounded, and the newcor quickly walked to Adonis's side, asking with concern.
