Crossover Anime: Starting from Jobless Reincarnation

Page 246

At the same time, a powerful sense of oppression rose from his body.

The oppressive feeling materialized, and a sharp, imposing aura spread outwards from Garr, radiating outwards.

Luo Ya raised an eyebrow. The old man said he didn't need to use force, but he actually added something slightly.

Roya didn't feel much pressure from Gar. As a strong person, this level of pressure was better than nothing. Besides, the old man was just bluffing and hadn't really unleashed his full power.

Even so, it still made Ludius feel a chill run down his spine.

The old man in front of him had somehow transformed into a fierce tiger, staring at him with piercing eyes.

A sense of fear crept into his heart, and his right hand, gripping the sword and preparing for a karate attack, trembled slightly.

Rudius swallowed hard, telling himself there was no need to be afraid. It was his turn now, and even if the other party made a move, it would be after two moves.

Besides, at most the opponent would knock him to the ground; it was impossible for them to actually kill him with a single sword strike.

Rudius comforted himself, always having a knack for this, and cheered himself up. He glanced at Roya, who was standing aside watching the drama unfold, and finally made up his mind to stride forward.

Step forward with your right foot, then suddenly lunge forward.

With incredible speed, Rudius transformed into an arrow and charged toward Gar's location.

Gar remained motionless, simply watching Rudius silently.

The more Gard was like this, the greater the psychological pressure on Rudius.

He didn't think that someone who couldn't even beat Alice could just rush in and knock her to the ground with a single sword strike.

Many images flashed through my mind, most of which showed me throwing a slash, only to have it swiftly blocked by my opponent, resulting in a quick defeat.

Rudius was not a fool; on the contrary, he was an extremely intelligent fellow.

Smart people are like this; they often consider many factors, and thus become hesitant in making certain choices.

Hesitation is not a good thing when it comes to swordsmanship, especially on the battlefield.

For example, right now, Rudius could have charged forward and crushed everything with an unstoppable momentum. Even if he couldn't cause any real damage, he would at least have caught Gardo's attention and earned him a higher evaluation.

But now, the momentum of the Iaijutsu strike has stalled, and the power of the sword move in his hand has decreased by at least 30%.

A disdainful smile appeared on Garr's rugged face; he could still be distracted even when facing a formidable enemy.

Rudius also sensed his own hesitation, but the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released. He gritted his teeth, drew his wooden sword, and unleashed a swift slash. The circular slash cut through the air and headed straight for Gal's face.

"Round dance!"

Garr hadn't had high hopes for this attack, but he was slightly surprised by the strike.

With a slight turn of his body, the swift slash missed Garr, and the old swordsman easily dodged the attack.

Ludius was highly focused at this moment. He wasn't too surprised that his slash missed. He took a deep breath and adjusted his mindset, recalling the moves he had practiced countless times.

"Azure Sky".

The wooden sword slashed vertically at Garr's left side, but compared to his initial circular dance, this strike was significantly weaker.

Moreover, Rudius had not yet fully mastered the Heaven of the Azure Dragon; even his most proficient waltz was dodged by his opponent, let alone the Heaven of the Azure Dragon.

The moment the attack landed, a terrifying force struck. Rudius felt a numbness in his arm, followed by a sharp pain in his abdomen. His vision spun, and a tremendous force carried Rudius as he crashed into the distance.

Rudius's breathing rhythm was interrupted in an instant. His abdomen was burning with pain. Not only that, the slash made it hard for Rudius to breathe. His face turned red, and he had to take several breaths to catch his breath.

It was too fast; Ludius couldn't react at all.

I don't know how the opponent made their move, or how the longsword fell.

Chapter 255 Roja VS Sword God

Rudius fell to his knees in a sorry state, his hands bracing against the ground. The wooden sword had already been knocked away to the side. Roya walked up to Rudius and asked, "Are you alright?"

Rudius smiled bitterly to himself. How could he possibly be in a place where nothing was wrong?

Garr nodded, looked at Rudius lying on the ground for a moment, and began to comment: "Kid, you lack courage. Your swordsmanship just now was just average."

The evaluation was very short, only a few sentences. As for the fact that the Breath of the Sun was rated as average by the Sword God, Roya was not surprised at all. Yoriichi Tsugikuni was a genius, but compared to the legacy of the generations of Sword Gods in the Mushoku Tensei series, he was still much inferior.

With its profound foundation, the Sword God School is not simply the comprehension of a single generation of sword gods. It has been passed down for at least several hundred years, and each generation of sword gods, while not being the rarest geniuses in ten thousand years, are still exceptional talents selected from among hundreds.

With its rich heritage and its own pride, Garr's Breath of the Sun certainly has its merits, but he is also qualified to describe it as mediocre.

Roya shrugged at Garr's assessment, remaining noncommittal.

Garr looked at Alice, nodded to her, and said, "You're next."

Alice stepped forward, took a wooden sword from the wooden shelf next to her, and held the wooden sword in her right hand, looking at Gar without the slightest fear.

Garr said to Alice, "Are you ready?"

Alice nodded solemnly, looking at the red-haired brat in front of her. Gal's lips curled up, revealing two rows of menacing white teeth. The familiar pressure began to spread, but unlike what Alice had felt before, this pressure was only directed at her. Alice truly felt that immense sense of oppression.

Even as an observer, she felt uncomfortable, but this time she wasn't just an observer; Alice was actually standing in front of Gar.

Unlike Rudius, this oppressive feeling annoyed Alice.

Different people will have different emotions when faced with the same challenge. If Rudius felt intimidated by the powerful aura of the old sword god, then Alice felt extremely agitated.

Alice perfectly exemplified the saying "a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger," her red eyes fixed intently on the old sword god's face.

Sensing the aura emanating from Alice, Garr's lips curled into a provocative smile.

"Pretty impressive, huh? You look like you're ready to take me down at any moment. If you can do it, give it a try."

Then, Alice went up.

There were no fancy moves, nor did he build up momentum like Rudius; he went straight in.

His fiery red hair stood on end, his breathing became rapid, and he exuded a wild and savage aura.

Alice moved quickly, much faster than Rudius, because her only thought was to take down the person in front of her, and she was in no way inferior when it came to fighting.

In a flash, Alice was already in front of Garr. Her wooden sword slashed down, devoid of any beauty, but direct and effective.

Gard sidestepped. Alice's performance was merely impressive, but how could a brat who hadn't even passed the intermediate swordsman level possibly harm Gard?

Alice's longsword missed its mark, but the girl didn't hesitate at all. Since it missed, she would strike again; surely one of her swords would hit her.

Alice thought this way, and she acted accordingly.

Then there is no more then.

A figure was sent flying backward at an even faster speed, tumbling several times before crashing to the ground.

Alice buried her face in the ground, making intimate contact with the earth.

"Tsk." Luo Ya clicked his tongue.

Battles cannot be won by mere momentum.

However, Alice's injuries were far more severe than Rudius's.

Alice lay on the ground, her fingers trembling slightly, the wooden sword she was holding already flying away.

Roya walked to Alice's side and helped her up. The girl's face was flushed from the sword cut, and her face was covered in dust and dirt.

Alice opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

The injuries on my body weren't serious. The wooden sword was a blunt weapon, and it would hurt for a while when it hit someone, but it would be fine after a while.

Even though Garr's attack was a bit heavy-handed, he avoided hitting vital points, so it shouldn't have required him to be bedridden for two or three months.

However, it seems that taking a day or two of rest is necessary.

After thinking for a moment, Roya used his magic to smooth out Alice's meridians. It was just a simple treatment, nothing special. Then he put Alice aside, walked to Gar, nodded and said, "Then, it should be my turn next."

Garr still looked like that cynical old man, but the look in his eyes had become sharp.

"Then let's get ready."

Gar didn't call for the start immediately. The old swordsman straightened up, his hawk-like eyes narrowed, and the old man assumed a fighting stance, looking ready for battle.

Garr adopted the Iai stance, which was his most common method of responding to attacks.

No matter what moves the opponent makes, Gar will quickly intercept the opponent's attack with faster and stronger moves, and then slash the opponent's wooden sword away.

If this were on a battlefield, it would mean severing the arm and then instantly taking off the opponent's head.

The two were not far apart. The area was only so big, and the distance between them was just a matter of a moment. Even if they were a few dozen feet apart, it would be of no use.

For the old swordsman, there are two kinds of distances: one where he can reach his opponent with a wave of his hand, and the other where he has to run several steps to reach his opponent.

Roya took a step forward and assumed a fighting stance.

Place the wooden sword at your waist, lean to the side and press down, shifting your weight forward so that you can launch a sudden attack at any time.

His aura was concentrated and concealed, and the Transparent World hid the powerful sense of oppression. The second stage of Sword Heart was also activated in the same way. The two complemented each other, and almost instantly, Roya saw Garr's actions clearly.

With his right hand gripping the sword, he assumed an iaido stance, his weight on his right foot, seemingly preparing for a direct assault. Garr made no attempt to dodge.

Roya's lips curled up. The old swordsman was very confident. Did he really think that Roya was faster than him?

Even though the moment of activation hadn't happened, the dragon's blood was already boiling.

Scalding dragon blood surged through his body from his heart, and a tyrannical aura emanated from Roya. Even the Transparent World could not completely conceal this tyranny etched into his very bones.

The dazzling golden eyes exuded a chilling aura in the crisp morning air.
