Chapter 738 738- [Thousand Swords Mastery]

Especially the golden ones, they were made of Mythril and gave off a dangerous aura.

The adventurer's initial plan of surrounding the demon and ganging up on him was overturned in its head. Now it was the demon who had them surrounded. They did not know how and from where the demon took these golems out from.

However, there was one thing that they knew and that was—they had to defeat the demon here. They cannot give him any more chances to escape, they needed to kill him before the latter could grow even stronger.

Given the growth that the demon had shown them, it was only natural for Godwin and Raven to take the matter as a serious concern.

The former closed his eyes for a second and took a deep breath. With the appearance of the Andromedas, he could no longer sit back. If he wanted to take the demon down, he would have to do it himself.

The next moment Godwin opened his eyes, his eyes started shining brightly and his aura surged. Everyone could see the halo of a gigantic figure behind him. the halo lasted only for a second before disappearing. However, it gave every adventurer who had a dispirited look after the appearance of the Andromedas, a new ray of hope.

That's right, they all believed that as long as Godwin was with them, there was no way they would lose. After all, it was not once or twice that he had gone through a perilous situation such as this.

He would always find a chance to overturn any dangerous situation. He was their pillar of faith. Simon saw the changes in the attitude of the others after Godwin decided to step in. However, he did not do anything and allowed them to get their hopes up.

It wouldn't be fun at all if the other side did not struggle with all their might. Simon gave a deafening demonic roar to start off the battle.

Dark black aura released out of his body and quickly engulfed the battlefield. To counter, the adventurers, more specifically the mages with mastery in light magic, started casting light domes to keep the negative effects of the dark magic from affecting them.

The Andromedas advanced and started engaging with the adventurers in a chaotic battle.

Almost at the same time, Godwin also made his move. He brandished his sword and sent forth holy blade lights to attack Simon. The latter dodged and counter attacked with his own powerful skills and magic.

All sorts of attacks were exchanged in a matter of a few seconds indicating that both the parties had [Mana Lines] and a solid foundation.

While Simon utilised his racial advantage and the training and growth he had gone through all these years to bombard his enemy with relentless and precise attacks, Godwin on the other hand put his years of experience, his unmatched confidence and the power of his class and level into display.

Any attack that Simon threw at him, was either dodged with minimal movements or deflected. His sword and shield became like an extension of his own limbs as he performed all sorts of techniques with seamless perfection.

It was as if they were not tools but living entities that had merged with him.

Simon and Godwin were so fast that they left afterimages behind, their battle couldn't be contained in a limited space and spanned all across the sky.

The adventurers fighting the Adromedas or more like defending against their assaults, could see the brilliant flashes of magic and skills colliding and tearing the sky asunder.

Simon used every technique and skill he had learned and honed over the years in his battle against Godwin. One could even see his efforts and diligence in his moves, the path he had chosen and the training he went through to reach this point.

However, even then he was unable to suppress Godwin. As he fought with the latter, he was able to tell that he was still lacking short in various areas and there were still various things he had yet to master.

It was not just the difference in level, Godwin could easily predict his moves and divert his attacks and movement in his favour, indicating that the other party had a higher version of [Intuition] skill.

However, that was not all, there were also various other basic high tiers skills involved in his actions. Although Godwin's attacks were not flashy, each and every one of them was extremely refined and advanced.

That level of sophisticated and polished moves cannot be achieved without going through a rigorous training and hellish battles. The power packed in Godwin's attacks was far more powerful than any flashy skill or magic. He was on a level of his own where the likes of Davis couldn't even compare.

The more Simon fought with him, the more he was made aware of his shortcomings. From looking at Godwin, he also understood why Irene repeatedly stressed on improving and acquiring basic skill sets rather than focusing on flashy skills that gave one power from the get go.

It was because it was these basic skills that would become the building block for his power in the later stages when he battles with true experts, rather than the flashy skills which would sooner or later hit a wall thus stopping his growth.nOVe/lb)1n

Simon wasn't discouraged when shoved with the obvious difference between their abilities, instead, he became excited and marvelled at his powers, feeling that he had much room to grow.

The fact that he was able to fight with Godwin and last this long even without using his trump cards like the Finger of Ozymandias, said a lot about his growth. He has been walking on the right path since the beginning.

In their previous clash, Simon couldn't even last a few seconds and was pummelled into the ground and was forced to eat a loss. However, this time the situation was different. Although it was obvious that he was not Godwin's match, the difference was not something that couldn't be covered up.

The other party clearly couldn't defeat Simon in a short period of time. Of course, the fact that Godwin had already gone through a gruelling battle against Abomination and was clearly not at his full power, played a huge role.

However, Simon had flown his way all the way over here as fast as possible even if it meant it would increase the rate at which snow accumulated in his body and suppressed his level. So in a way, it could be said that both of them were not fighting at their peaks.

"[Resilience Strike]"

At this moment, Godwin erupted out with a powerful skill, his sword that was made of Adamantine shone with a brilliant golden as he swung his sword forward. The power of the attack was enough to tear space and send Simon crashing down on the ground.

BOOM... the land that was devoid of the snow, cracked and a large depression formed on the ground. At the centre of the depression, Simon who was picking himself up, had a huge gash in his [Mana Armour].

That strike from Godwin was powerful enough to bypass his defence stats and create a large wound on his chest. Blood seeped out from his injury causing Simon to grit his teeth in agony.

The external wound was superficial, it would go back to normal given his restorative abilities and skills. However, that strike was not an ordinary strike, but an attack packed with Divine magic, the advanced tier of light magic.

For a Demon Noble like Simon, Divine magic was his bane and his greatest weakness. The divine magic that seeped inside his body from that attack earlier wreaked havoc inside him delaying his recovery.

Though Godwin's attacks did not stop there, after that initial strike, he chained his attacks with more powerful skills and techniques and came sweeping down on Simon. Just as the attack arrived, the grin on Simon's face widened and the space ring on his flashed.

BOOM... dust rose and the ground collapsed.

On the other side, looking at the awe-inspiring battle of Godwin, the adventurers rejoiced. However, their happiness was short lived as hundreds of Andromedas engaged them.

These war machines although around the early stages of level 500 were becoming stronger as time passed. They analysed all the patterns and skills the adventurers had and formulated plans based on that.

What's more, these war machines did not tire and could keep on going endlessly until they were destroyed. Even the ones that were destroyed were swiftly rebuilding themselves. Fighting these cold machines of destruction, that continuously evolved during the battle was like a horror that had no end in sight.

Then there were also those incredibly powerful and sturdy ones whose whole frame was made of Mythril and the smaller and structurally different ones that looked like a crow.

Those ones sniped from the backlines and occasionally joined the battle causing the entire formation of the adventures to collapse.

"Everyone, do not lose hope, we just need to hold long enough for Godwin to win. As long as he defeats the Demon, these golems would also stop functioning" Raven swiftly defeated a Mk 7 and spoke.

The twin blades in his hands that were an [S] tier weapon, continuously swept through the air, defeating and damaging every Andromedas that came to stop him.

In this group, only he and a few others could hold their own in front of the absolutely discouraging numbers of the Andromedas. However, even then, all they could do was fend for themselves much less aid their teammates.
