Even when besieged by multiple top-tier Servants, Dracula could fight them to a standstill!
But what this guy implied was—Dracula was strong, not him, Roa!
"Then let show you Dracula's power!"
A fierce glint flashed in Roa's eyes.
A massive crimson ripple spread out from him in all directions.
Rip!
Suddenly, massive bone joints tore through Roa's back, extending into a pair of bat wings about three ters wide.
Whoosh!
Flapping those black wings, Roa shattered the atmosphere with a thunderous crash!
"He's even faster now!"
Eiji instinctively tensed up.
If before it was just a blur before his eyes, now only a black shadow remained!
"But I can still track his trajectory!"
His brain had stopped thinking, leaving all actions to instinct.
Judging Roa's position through the inertia of his movent trajectory, Eiji fiercely swung his blade!
Roa's eyes suddenly bulged.
The enemy perfectly dodged his thrust, the blade sliding past the dagger and heading straight for his right arm!
Striking later, yet landing first!
If this continued, his right arm would definitely be severed. Roa had no choice but to pull back and retreat.
"How can this guy still react?"
Roa was greatly puzzled.
From the look in this guy's eyes, he clearly couldn't catch his figure anymore, so why could he still judge his attack trajectory?
Moreover, his blade was far longer than Roa's dagger, giving him a greater attack range!
It wasn't that Roa hadn't considered using a longsword as a weapon, but whenever he picked one up, he found it difficult to align with his opponent's lines. Only with a dagger could he barely guarantee accuracy.
"Your combat skills are terrible!"
Eiji smiled at him, a perfect mocking expression revealing several pearly white molars.
Weapons are extensions of the body.
Mastering weapon techniques ultimately ans making the weapon beco part of your arm.
Generally speaking, the longer the weapon, the harder it is to master.
It stands to reason that for Mystic Eyes like the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception or Eyes of Life, longer weapons would naturally make it easier to utilize the power of the Mystic Eyes.
Yet Roa only used a dagger instead of a longsword—proof that his swordsmanship was utterly pathetic!
Of course, one couldn't rule out warriors specialized in daggers, but those were typically assassins. Roa was no assassin.
"Being stronger than you is enough!"
A vein bulged on Roa's forehead as he violently charged forward again.
Another gust of fierce wind erupted!
Eiji sidestepped and raised his blade.
He naturally moved away from Roa's advance trajectory, and not only that, his horizontally held blade just happened to position itself right in front of Roa, as if Roa had actively crashed into it!
Startled, Roa halted his steps again.
"No ability to adapt? Not only are your combat skills poor, your battle awareness is terrible too!Seeing that he didn't pursue, Eiji launched another round of heavy sarcasm.
For true warriors, strength definitely doesn't co from calculation, but from the ability to adapt to any situation in battle.
But Roa was different. While his attacks were fierce, he essentially just targeted the lines from the beginning and kept aiming for them.
His movent patterns were very simple, with only limited attack points.
Eiji surmised that it was because there were fewer threads on him, and Roya only attacked those specific lines.
Through their nurous encounters thus far, Eiji had already morized all of Roya's attack patterns!
Even if his eyes couldn't clearly see, Eiji could instantly predict his movents through pure muscle mory.
"Roya, I've seen through you!"
Eiji raised the sword in his hand.
Unlike before, a confident smile now spread across his face.
"Your days of dominating are over! Let teach you how foolish it is to possess power without knowing how to wield it!"
Simultaneously, Eiji abandoned his previous defensive stance and took the initiative to charge forward for the first ti!
"Big words! Let's see how you plan to teach !"
Roya's face twitched, infuriated by his condescending tone.
This guy's speed was nothing in his eyes. If he just accelerated slightly, he could easily cut him to pieces. What right did he have to speak to him in such a superior manner!
Gripping his dagger, Roya resolved to capture Eiji this ti!
In the blink of an eye, the two closed in for lee combat—
"Where's the sword?"
But suddenly, Roya froze again.
From his perspective, the sword in Eiji's hand had suddenly vanished!
Was it so special sword technique?
Where did the sword go?
Alert due to his wariness of Eiji's swordsmanship, Roya quickly turned to search for the weapon.
After devouring Dracula, not only had his strength greatly increased, but his reflexes had also improved significantly. He had ample ti to locate the weapon.
But no matter where he looked—up, down, left, right, front, or back—he couldn't find any trace of that sword.
It wasn't until Eiji was right in front of him that Roya's eyes widened in shock.
The sword was still in his hand—it had never left!
"Ugh!"
Roya grunted and took a step back.
A deep, bone-revealing gash split open on his right shoulder.
By the ti he realized what happened, it was too late—the sword had still left its mark on him.
Fortunately, he had instinctively stepped back, preventing his entire right shoulder from being severed.
"You refuse to admit you're foolish even when it's obvious."
Eiji stood firmly in place, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
"In a situation like that, even if my sword disappeared from your sight, wasn't I still right here? If you had just stabbed at my head, you could have defeated , couldn't you?"
That's right!
Roya suddenly understood, imdiately filled with regret.
Why did he have to focus on the sword?
He could have simply aid for the head and taken him out in one strike!
Is my adaptability really that poor?
"Here I co again!"
Eiji closed in once more.
This ti, he even kindly gave a warning, making Roya quickly focus his attention.
The two engaged in close combat again!
"The weapon disappeared again!"
Roya's eyes flickered.
The enemy's weapon had inexplicably vanished before his eyes once more!
He completely failed to understand how it was done—there were no traces of magic being used.
But now he had a counterasure—just aim for his body!
That's right, Roya decided not to aim for the head but instead maneuvered his dagger to thrust toward Eiji's chest and abdon!
If he had actually gone for the head, that wouldn't be adaptability—that would be stupidity!
He, Roya, was definitely not truly inflexible!
He had originally aid for the heart, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't seem to lock onto the target—as if Eiji's blade could deflect it at any mont—so he had to settle for aiming at the chest and abdon.
"Swish!"
But suddenly, a flash of blade light streaked across!
"What?"
Roya's eyes widened in shock once again.
Another blade appeared before his eyes.
One blade focused on offense, the other on defense!
Though it was just one person with two hands, it felt as if they could split their focus, unleashing the effect of two people fighting in unison!
"Boom!"
A trendous force surged forth, and Eiji was forced back again.
But this ti, he only retreated three steps.
anwhile.
"Urgh!"
Roya let out a muffled groan as one of his arms was severed at the elbow, flying off into the distance.
