Chapter 1570: The Strongest Flash
*Boom-boom-boom...*
Su Xiao chopped apart three rings in a row. The recoil from these collisions created several large cracks under his feet, and his right arm went numb. If he continues to drag out the fight, he will definitely lose. Maurice created the ring for a very small amount of mana, and this witch had a very, very large amount of it.
The worst news was that these rings were just one of Maurice's abilities. She still had three or four more powerful skills that she hadn't used yet.
The blade sliced through the air and finally sliced through the ring of light, but this ring didn't break up into golden particles like before, it just exploded.
Parts of the ring flew out in all directions, and two of these pieces hit Su Xiao's neck and ribs, leaving behind two deep wounds.
As he pulled out the ring fragment, he realized that Maurice had finally come up with something.
Glancing at the witch, he saw that there were 29 rings floating around her, but no new one had taken the place of the one that had just been destroyed.
Under Su Xiao's surprised gaze, Maurice swung her sword and charged towards him at an extremely fast speed.
Bubtney, who was waiting nearby, was stunned.
He couldn't understand why Maurice would choose to get close to Su Xiao on her own.
Su Xiao himself was a little surprised. Maurice was obviously the kind of fighter who mainly attacked from a medium distance and was ready to engage in close combat if anything happened, but nevertheless, she really decided to get close to him herself.
And no, Maurice wasn't mad. Everything in this world had a price. The power she currently possessed couldn't have come out of nowhere. To gain this power, she needed to gather a large amount of energy and life force, such as the witches ' life force.
All those dead witches helped Maurice gather the necessary amount of energy and vitality.
Yes, all this time, she had stayed out of the fight and watched them die, just for the sake of gaining this power.
As for what would happen after defeating this witch hunter, Maurice wasn't worried about it at all. Given her current strength, the witch kingdom in the south would give her every support, and she would be able to find even stronger subordinates. This was the world of witches — the strong got everything.
Maurice, having gained this incredible power, was over the moon with joy. In her opinion, she was now definitely one of the three strongest witches in the entire world.
But even though she became many times stronger, in the first battle, she couldn't kill her opponent in no time. Although she had some advantage, this battle looked equal.
Realizing that it would be very difficult to win with ranged attacks, she decided to try out her greatly increased powers in close combat.
Morisa had a reputation among the witches as one of the best melee fighters even before gaining this power, and with it...
She considered Su Xiao to be the first step from which she should start her ascent. She was the main character of this world, not this witch hunter that no one had ever heard of. Even though he was able to kill more than a hundred witches, she didn't see him as a worthy opponent.
A gentle, very confident smile appeared on Maurice's face.
The distance between the two sides was rapidly closing, and when they were only five meters apart, the 29 witch rings immediately rushed towards Su Xiao.
They attacked him from all directions: front, back, left and right, and even from above.
Shields immediately materialized around Su Xiao and flew out in all directions.
*BOOM!*
Dust rose on the third floor. Although dozens of shields were smashed, most of the rings were broken or thrown away
Maurice suddenly sped up, leaving behind a golden afterimage, and appeared in front of Su Xiao.
Her sword immediately swung towards him.
*Ding!*
A shower of sparks fell to the floor as Su Xiao blocked Maurice's attack. Given Morisa's stats, the power of this attack could shock anyone, but Su Xiao was practically as strong as her in terms of stats.
The blades of the swords were pressed together. Maurice held onto the hilt of her sword with both hands, while Su Xiao was used to holding the sword with one hand. He usually used his left hand to control ranged weapons or to launch a surprise attack on the enemy.
Maurice's hands tightened, and the corners of her mouth turned up.
But at this moment, she suddenly felt empty. Glancing at the hilt of her opponent's sword, she saw that he had simply let go of his sword.
This surprised Maurice. She thought that this hunter only knew how to fight in close combat with his sword, but now he let go of his sword and was clearly going to move her to the ground floor.
Su Xiao seemed to have let go of his sword, but in reality, his little finger was still near the hilt of the sword.
No longer paying attention to the dragon's Flash, Maurice's sword immediately swung towards Su Xiao's head.
He himself seemed to know this was going to happen, so he lowered his head beforehand.
The sword blade only cut off a few strands of black hair, and under Maurice's incredulous gaze, the handle of Dragon Flash moved and ended up in Su Xiao's hand.
*Ding!*
Grabbing onto the sword, Su Xiao bent down, raised his right leg, and the Wood Spirit immediately enveloped his leg.
With a loud pop, the foot landed squarely on Maurice's stomach.
With a cry, she spat out her saliva and started to fly back, but at that moment, Su Xiao swung his sword towards her neck.
Maurice looked at the blade of the sword and smiled.
It won't reach her in time.
At that moment, a black and white figure appeared behind Maurice. Hitting the back of the witch's head with his paws, Bubtny jumped up and healed Su Xiao.
Maurice's head immediately tilted forward...
*Boom!*
Maurice flew into the wall and a large amount of blood began to flow out of her body at a rapid pace.
Crouching on the floor, she tried to regain her composure. Spitting out blood, she realized that she couldn't engage in close combat with this hunter. Their skills, experience, and understanding of combat were all at very different levels.
When she heard the whistle, Maurice immediately gripped the hilt of her sword and stood up without looking up.
With a crunch, a bright ball appeared around the witch. There were five of them in total.
A bright light immediately spread out in all directions from Maurice.
One of her key abilities, "Blazing Sun", has been activated.
