GOR Chapter 603 Part 1 Phoenix’s Revenge

Phoenix stood coolly in the colosseum arena and stared at the warblade in Wang Sheng’s hand . She was silently calculating the time .

Once she set her opponent on fire with her True Samadhi Fire, it will become the equivalent of an attack that ignored all dewalls . The problem was, it had a very long cool down time of 50 minutes .

Moreover, her earlier battle with Chen Xiaolian had exhausted her stamina and magic force .

This world that the two old monsters had controlled… … or rather, ‘modified’, time had slowed down by 3,600 times . Thus, all time measuring devices on her, be it her normal watch or the timer on her personal system, all of them cannot be used . Even so, she could still gauge the passage of time by herself .

Earlier, Chen Xiaolian had engaged in a fight with the Avenging Angel and also chatted with the two old monsters for quite some time . Additionally, there was also the time taken for them to be sent into this colosseum and the introductions… … although Phoenix had no way of properly gauging the time, she was able to generally estimate that around 40 minutes had passed .

Thus… … as long as she can hold on for 10 more minutes…

Phoenix shot her hand out and retrieved a dagger from her storage equipment . She crouched slightly and displayed a combat-ready stance .

“Melee-type as well?”

Seeing the weapon in Phoenix’s hand, a smile swiftly appeared on Wang Sheng’s face . He turned to face the stands and raised the warblade in his hand up high . “Boss! Although I do not know where you are, I know you must be on the stands!

“You can… rest easy and watch as I bring you victory!”

“Damn it! You idiot!”

The stance that Wang Sheng took to shout out had exposed a great deal of his body to Phoenix, who stood just opposite of him . Even so, there was only a negligent look on his face as he smiled with pride and self-confidence . Han Bi, who was watching Wang Sheng, clenched his fists and heavily slammed the energy wall . “This is a duel to the death! A duel to the death against a veteran! Do you think you are playing house here?” 

Unfortunately, due to the energy wall, his words could not make its way to Wang Sheng, who was in the arena .

All he could do was to grit his teeth . Slowly, he turned to look at Chen Xiaolian . He opened his mouth . In the end, however, he simply closed it without saying anything .  

Although Wang Sheng’s actions had left him highly exposed, Phoenix maintained a vigilant and defensive stance . She did not take the initiative to attack .

She would never take the risk of attacking first when the opponent’s abilities remained a mystery . Not to mention, the longer she dragged this out, the more advantageous the situation would be for her .

Wang Sheng lowered the warblade in his hand and turned around in a circle before finally looking at Phoenix . He smiled, “Then… … let us start!”

Kicking the ground, Wang Sheng dashed out toward Phoenix and slashed out with his warblade .

Phoenix had long since prepared herself for Wang Sheng’s attack . Her left leg kicked out and she jumped to the right, dodging Wang Sheng’s attack .

But she was not done .

She had clearly dodged to her right . After evading Wang Sheng’s attack, however, she used some unknown means to, like a ghost, circle around to appear behind Wang Sheng .

The sharp tip of her dagger viciously shot toward Wang Sheng’s back .

In the stands, Chen Xiaolian’s heart thumped furiously . He recalled the time when he had confronted Phoenix some time ago . Back then, Phoenix had displayed the same thing, moving with ghost like speed .

Although she was a magus whose main method of attacking was through a wand, her speed and skills in melee combat qualified her to be an assassin .

Wang Sheng’s attack had left him open . However, Phoenix’s dagger failed to reach his back .

Ding!

The dagger, that was about to strike Wang Sheng’s back, was blocked off by the warblade in Wang Sheng’s hand .

The tips of both the warblade and the dagger struck each other perfectly . Any deviations and they would have slid past one another .

However, Wang Sheng had not turned his head to look back . He did not even swing his warblade .

He maintained the same stance he had earlier, with his back against Phoenix while his hand held onto his warblade, having swung against empty air .

Despite that, the warblade appeared possessing of self-awareness . In just an instant, it had twisted to circle its way to Wang Sheng’ back .

Appearance wise, it looked like a noodle . Yet, when it had collided against Phoenix’s incoming dagger, it had caused sparks to fly out .

Seeing her strike fail to connect, Phoenix rapidly put some distance between them . She cautiously regarded the warblade in Wang Sheng’s hand . “Liquid metal?”

Only then did Wang Sheng languidly turn around . Like a snake, the warblade in his hand twisted back to its original shape . Wang Sheng smiled proudly .

His attack had failed to connect, but Wang Sheng did not appear disheartened in the slightest . He simply smiled and charged forward once more .

Phoenix continuously dodged Wang Sheng’s attacks . Whenever Wang Sheng’s attacks missed her, Phoenix would retaliate with her dagger, stabbing toward Wang Sheng’s fatal points . However, the warblade would always block off the dagger strikes just as it was about to hit home .

The weapon was similar to… … the T-1000 from the Terminator movies .

As the battle continued, Wang Sheng gradually forced Phoenix into a disadvantageous position .

Wang Sheng’s movements were not fast . Although he was stronger, it was not to the point where it would be difficult for Phoenix to parry his attacks . And yet, as the two of them continued exchanging blows, Phoenix was shocked to discover that the weapon in Wang Sheng’s hand was seemingly… … learning .

It was learning her movements, her techniques, her rhythm, and the angle of her attacks .

The warblade itself was no longer a warblade . With the exception of the hilt that Wang Sheng was still holding onto, the other part of the weapon had been continuously transforming . Great axe, spear, and even… … a shield .  

It would not be an exaggeration to say – the one who was actually fighting this battle was not Wang Sheng . Rather, it was the weapon he was holding . From the beginning until now, all Wang Sheng did was to do his best to close the distance between the two of them and also attempting to avoid Phoenix’s attacks . The attacks he could not avoid were blocked off by the weapon he was holding .

Unknowingly, Wang Sheng had managed to push Phoenix back to the edge of the circular arena . The energy barrier blocked off her back while left shoulder and right leg were already suffering from shallow cuts .

“Do you know?” As Wang Sheng brandished the weapon in his hand, he grinned and smiled triumphantly . “I… have never lost to a melee-type opponent . Never!”
