Chapter 2057 Challenge 4
Some of the onlooking acolytes marveled at what seemed like Dillion's ability to vanquish his adversary in a single blow. However, Dillion remained composed, knowing that the battle was far from over. "Don't play around, get up!" his voice commanding and resolute.
The bear-transformed acolyte slowly regained his footing, the wounds from Dillion's blow visibly healing before the spectators' eyes. Despite the pain, a smirk graced the bear's face as he acknowledged Dillion's strength with a hint of admiration. "Dillion... you are a monster indeed," he remarked, his voice tinged with both respect and amusement.
Undeterred, Dillion raised his massive sword once more, his gaze steely as he prepared for the next exchange. With a powerful swing, he brought the blade crashing down upon his opponent, who barely managed to raise both arms in defense. The impact reverberated through the arena with a sickening sound of broken bone, causing the bear acolyte to stagger back several steps, visibly grimacing in pain.
Despite the injury, the bear acolyte showed no signs of faltering as he swiftly regained his composure. With a determined growl, he extended his arm, the broken bones miraculously healing before their eyes.
"Let's see how long you can stand this!" Dillion exclaimed as he prepared to charge once again. With a fierce growl, the bear acolyte accepted the challenge, his resolve unshaken. Stomping his foot against the ground, he charged forward once more, ready to meet Dillion's relentless assault head-on.
The clash between Dillion and the bear acolyte was relentless, each blow resonating through the arena with thunderous force. Despite Dillion's overwhelming strength and skill, his opponent refused to yield, standing firm against the onslaught.
For the spectators, it seemed like a one-sided battle, with Dillion dominating the fight with his colossal sword and sheer determination. However, the bear acolyte displayed an incredible resilience, enduring blow after blow with astonishing fortitude.
Emery, observing the fight with a keen eye, recognized the tactics at play and calmly explained them to the bewildered acolytes. The bear acolyte was a master of body transformation, and this particular form endowed him with Blood Bear ability, a legendary creature that grants him formidable defense and unparalleled vitality. His thick, sturdy muscles absorbed much of Dillion's attacks, while his rapid regeneration allowed him to recover from even the most devastating blows.
It became clear that this was another strategic move by Hall 68, employing a variety of tactics to disadvantage Dillion before the final showdown. From the previous lightning-fast speedster to the endurance-focused bear acolyte, each opponent was carefully chosen to test Dillion's limits and wear him down before the ultimate confrontation.
Dillion, undeterred by the odds stacked against him, braced himself for the onslaught. With lightning-fast reflexes, he parried the strikes of one duplicate while simultaneously evading the lunges of the other. His movements were a masterful blend of offense and defense, each motion calculated to maximize his chances of survival.
As the battle raged on, the air crackled with tension, and the acolytes watched in awe at the spectacle unfolding before them. Despite facing three adversaries of equal skill and strength, Dillion remained steadfast, his resolve unyielding as he fought with unmatched determination.
Emery used the chance to elucidate the intricate details of Sylar's technique, and the acolytes listened intently, their eyes widening with understanding. Each duplicate, a near-perfect replica of the original, possessed the agility and strength of a seasoned mid stage-rank 9 acolyte. This level of mastery in duplication was a testament to Sylar's formidable skill.
With each swing of their blazing swords, the duplicates danced around Dillion, their movements fluid and precise. They darted in and out of his range, constantly probing for weaknesses in his defenses. Whenever an opportunity presented itself, one of the duplicates would spring forward, launching a devastating sword slash aimed at Dillion's exposed flank.
Amidst the chaos of battle, the duplicates exchanged mocking remarks, their voices filled with arrogance and disdain.
"Haha, is this really the rank 96 Dillion?"
"He doesn't seem that strong."
"Yes, he was just lucky to find an easy match in the preliminaries."
Despite their disparaging words, Dillion remained focused, his concentration unwavering as he deftly countered their relentless onslaught.
