Chapter 613 - Merging The Three Sword Techniques In Theory
"Hahaha, he didn't mean any harm," Arthur couldn't help but laugh before adding, "but he has a point here."
"Don't…" she warned.
"Just think of ways to strengthen your relationship with the pearl," Arthur smiled as he added, "I don't want for the final technique to fail because of that."
"Humph," she only harrumphed while he let the sword fall on the ground before picking it up again. He already was eating meat to replenish his consumed dragonair power.
He glanced over the deep grooves his last evolved technique left on the ground before smiling.
"It's time for the last one," he muttered before holding the sword with one hand and the other just moved at his back, stretched there as far as it could reach.
"Are you dancing?" she said in a tone that told him that she was still mad.
"I'm doing the technique if you may," he softly said before he stood over his toes.
"Yeah, you're dancing."
He ignored her remark and then started to run. He was moving on his toes, jumping over them, taking wide strips in each step.
Then he suddenly moved his back hand and moved it parallel to the hand holding the sword while he jumped high in the air. The next moment he waved the sword over his head and the two hands created a small sword image in between before it was launched like an arrow fast forward.
The image kept increasing in size rapidly, then it broke up into smaller ones while ending by forming a shades of five swords which went to devastate the ground.
"This is the poorest skill you had so far," Gege said and he didn't take her remark down to the heart.
"I don't mind it being weak," he muttered before adding, "but each sword would explode now."
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Just as he said, the sword images exploded all of sudden creating severe shockwaves that increased the lethality of it exponentially.
"See?" he laughed, "this is the true form of my strike."
"Still weak," the golden dragon said, "you need a stronger one."
"Any suggestions then?" he asked.
"Ding! Dunno, but the way you used your energy seemed perfect."
"Yeah, I feel the same," the golden dragon said.
"You need to use my pearl energy then," Gege said in a light tone, "it will increase the strength of this technique."
Arthur went into silence for a moment there before saying:
"If I did that then we add more pressure over your pearl," he paused for long minutes before adding, "I don't see this is needed. After all we will merge the three techniques together."
"You need one weak one to shoulder the others," the golden dragon got what he was aiming at.
"Precisely true," Arthur agreed, "I just need a technique to make the balance between the other two."
"You won't need my pearl energy?" Gege asked in a low tone.
"I'll need it," Arthur said before adding, "but at the right time."
"Ding! That would be great."
"I too agree on that."
"I don't see how this would be useful," she sighed, "the first technique will have all of the pearl energy, not this poor one."
"Don't forget the three will merge together to form a single technique," Arthur said before adding, "so any addition to one equals helping all."
"Exactly."
"Ding! This is true."
"I still can't see what you guys are saying or agreeing at," yet she kept her low tone, "you are all cold hearted with no care for my precious pearl."
Arthur couldn't help but laugh, "don't worry, your precious pearl will have her time to shine."
"Empty words."
"You'll see," Arthur seriously said, "soon enough you'll see with your eyes."
"When?"
"Soon," he laughed before adding, "I still need to think of ways to unify the moves of the three."
"You can just use the third technique moves," Gege casually said, "after all you move in it in a very amusing way."
"It's not about the shape of the moves," Arthur deeply sighed, "the first technique uses small steps to gather energy, while the second one uses the strong impact on the ground to awaken the sword, as for the third… well the fast moves are required to create the phantom image and create momentum."
"Ding! I believe you should break them down to the fundamental moves," the system suggested.
"Explain."
"Ding! Your view of the moves is depending on the old not the new techniques. For example, the first technique doesn't need the slow moves anymore. After all you take the power directly from the pearl energy and it's enough."
"I agree with the system," the golden dragon said, "as for the second move you don't need those heavy steps anymore. I believe the power your blood holds is enough to awaken any sleeping beast."
"See?" Gege laughed, "only the dancing moves on your toes are needed here."
Arthur didn't hurriedly answer before asking, "In which pattern and order do you think I should use the techniques?"
"First you need to use my pearl power," Gege hurriedly said and Arthur just ignored her.
"Ding! First create these sword shadows," the system said.
"Then use your fire sword technique and end it all with the last one," the golden dragon said.
"This…" Arthur hesitated as his mind started thinking deeply about all the scenarios he could have if he used their order, "it won't work," he sighed, "the fire sword technique is so brutal. It must be the last one to be used, not the first."
"But it takes quite time to activate the sword fire," the golden dragon said.
"Then I should start it early and not use it until I finish everything else, "Arthur's eyes shone brightly before adding, "I'll first create the sword phantom using the third technique, then start using the fire technique before stopping when the sword and the phantom are covered with fire…"
"And?" Gege was very impatient.
"Then I'll create the sword phantoms before moving in the same way the sword fire technique is required before finally releasing the three techniques combined," he excitedly said while the blue flash in his eyes was clearly evident.
"Ding! You won't have time to replenish all of your energies at the same time," the system warned.
"I don't need to," Arthur laughed, "as during moving I can eat some meat and consume some replenishing pills to replenish the usage of my dragonair and spiritual energies. As for the last strike…" he paused and the next instant Gege jumped to say:
"I'll do it, don't worry… depend on me on this. I promise no matter how much the pearl energy was depleted I'll replenish it fast."
"Are you sure?" Arthur asked before stressing over this matter, "the window we have will be very short, and if you screw up I'll helplessly fall on the ground motionless for a few minutes."
"Don't worry, I'll make sure I can inject an enormous amount of my energy to the pearl."
"How?" the golden dragon asked with much doubt.
"I can use a tree," Gege suddenly said before adding, "after all she isn't just here for transmitting your words to others. She can connect my energy with the pearl in a better way than it already is."
"Great," Arthur had an excited look over his face, "arrange things with her first before we start our trials."
"Give me a minute."
