Chapter 94: The Final Strike!

Seize the victory!
After so many life-and-death battles, Soren has long been told never to give the enemy a chance to breathe.
Once the enemy gets a moment to recover, the situation could change in an instant!
Great Whirlwind.
Soren doesn’t actually know any Great Whirlwind.
If he were capable of the top-tier explosive technique of the Legendary Domain, “Great Whirlwind,” he would now have the ability to simulate the legendary Blade Storm!
Double the attack speed, double the movement speed.
In the entire Material Plane, the number of melee professionists capable of mastering “Great Whirlwind” is less than ten, with nearly half being legendary Sword Saints. What appears to be Soren unleashing a Great Whirlwind is in fact just due to his already fast attack speed. His high agility combined with “Greater Acceleration” creates the illusion of activating Great Whirlwind. (Note: Great Whirlwind requires the power of Qi as support.)
As for the legendary “Blade Storm.”
This is not a combat ability but a combat skill accidentally formed in the battles of Saints.
The name “Blade Storm” was given by the adventurers themselves.
Because besides this name, they couldn’t think of anything else to describe such peak combat explosive power!
Currently, there is only one profession level 27 Orc Sword Saint in the entire Material Plane who can achieve this, using “Great Whirlwind” in combination with “Rising Slash,” “Legendary Spinning Slash,” “Legendary Death Strike,” and “Weakness Insight,” finally creating a god-slaying level of combat capability under the enhancement of “Greater Acceleration.”
Soren was fortunate to have witnessed this battle; the Sword Saint’s attack directly formed countless real sword qi!
That’s why people call it “Blade Storm.”
Another similar god-slaying level of combat ability was also created by the Sword Saint, relying on Shadow Technique and True Mirror Image, which shows that the Sword Saint indeed walked an extremely extreme path in pursuing physical lethality.
………………
Holy Radiance.
Soren’s figure has already exceeded the limits that ordinary human eyes can capture. To lock onto his position requires other methods. “Greater Acceleration” is a sixth-tier spell with astonishing effects, even without dual-wielding sword proficiency, Soren still gives the illusion of activating Great Whirlwind due to “Universal Skillful Hand” and “Greater Acceleration.”
——”Sword Intent: Spinning Dance!”
Soren’s figure moved like a shadow, and the Holy Avenger transformed into a flowing stream of holy light, completely sealing off all escape routes for the Vampire Son.
Clang clang block!
The sounds of continuous clashes rang out with every swing of Soren’s sword. The Vampire Son took a step back with each hit.
The glow of dispelled magic kept appearing.
By the end, the Vampire Son had no energy protective field left, and even his self-enhanced auxiliary spells were all dispelled.
Crack!
A very crisp sound of breaking echoed.
As Soren transitioned from Spinning Dance to a heavy slash, the Vampire Son’s sleeve sword could no longer withstand the Holy Avenger’s attack and broke into two pieces.
A series of data appeared:
“Combat Breakthrough!”
“You have gained insights in battle, mastering part of the information on ‘Spinning Slash’!”
“Combat Breakthrough!”
“You have gained insights in battle, mastering part of the information on ‘Spinning Slash’!”
“Combat Breakthrough!”
“You have gained insights in battle, mastering part of the information on ‘Spinning Slash’!”
“You have comprehended a new combat skill: ‘Spinning Slash!’…”
………………
Three pieces of data prompts appeared in succession.
But this was just the beginning. Soren’s storm-like attacks continued to yield more data prompts:
“Combat Breakthrough!”
“You have gained insights in battle, mastering part of the information on ‘Momentum Slash’!”
“Combat Breakthrough!”
“You have gained insights in battle, mastering part of the information on ‘Forceful Attack’!”
“Combat Breakthrough!”
“You have gained insights in battle, mastering part of the information on ‘Great Whirlwind’!”
………………
Three more information prompts appeared in succession. Only then did Soren’s vision stop displaying other data.
At this moment, he seemed to be in a peak combat state!
Whether it be his explosive power, combat will, or overall attributes, they had all reached a critical point, especially the Paladin’s Courage Domain, which had pushed this critical point to its limits.
——”Shadow Leap!”
——”Spinning Slash!”
Soren’s figure spun at high speed. The Holy Avenger swept through everything around him like a storm, and the Sword Intent “Spinning Dance” was initially a weakened capability of “Spinning Slash.” In the moment of breaking through, Soren finally unleashed the true spinning attack.
Psh!
A spray of blood erupted.
In the Vampire Son’s horrified gaze, the enemy’s explosive power seemed to become increasingly shocking.
What is happening?
Why does this guy in front of me suddenly seem more dangerous in the blink of an eye?
——”Divine Power Shield!”
Faced with Soren’s relentless attacks, the Vampire Son finally activated his last life-saving measure.
Divine Ability Field!
Since becoming a deity with the “Vampire” divine profession, his divine power has been growing slowly. He rarely uses this power because even for deities, divine power is an extremely precious resource. But at this moment, he could not care less; in front of the Holy Avenger’s powerful lethality, his defensive ability in Saint form could be ignored. If he didn’t activate the “Divine Ability Field,” Soren could tear him apart in an instant!
Buzz!
The erupting divine power formed a shockwave.
It knocked Soren’s figure away, and the Holy Avenger seemed like it had been cut by some immensely powerful invisible energy field, isolated from the Vampire Son.
A line of data appeared:
“You were hit by the divine power shockwave!”
“Triggered your Fortitude saving throw! … Triggered your Constitution saving throw! … You took 90 (10 points of damage transferred) points of divine damage! …”
“Attack hit!”
“You dealt 75 (+10 divine damage) points of slashing damage to the target! … The target activated the Divine Ability Field shield! … You cut through the Divine Ability Field! … You consumed 120 points of energy intensity from the Divine Ability Field! …”
………………
Finally forced him to activate the “Divine Ability Field!”
Soren wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with endless fighting spirit, and charged straight back into battle.
The Saint!
The powerful divine avatar.
Only by pushing them to use divine power can it be considered true god-slaying combat!
Otherwise,
All efforts would merely be a joke. If you can’t even force the “Divine Ability Field,” how can you slay a god?
Dream on!
During the cataclysmic period of the Saints’ arrival, one saying best describes the current combat situation, as a legendary warrior once said:
——”It’s time for the final strike!”
The final strike!
These three words represent the true peril of god-slaying combat! Forcing a divine avatar of the Saint to activate the Divine Ability Field means that almost everyone has already revealed all their trump cards!
In such a situation,
The deciding factor of victory is the combat will itself, as both sides are nearly out of ammunition!
………………
The Vampire Son’s expression was somewhat deranged.
He never dreamed that since awakening the power of the Demon Son of Fear, after encountering so many battles, even facing the Lady Wealth’s elect and personally defeating the Demon God of Fear’s high priest, he never suffered a major setback. Yet today, he was forced into activating the Divine Ability Field by a guy who seemed to have emerged from nowhere.
Once the Divine Ability Field activates,
For a divine being, it basically means they’re fighting for their lives! Otherwise, the Spider Queen wouldn’t be so furious as to try to wipe him out completely!
This is the last line of defense for a divine being.
If even divine power is exhausted, it truly means being at the end of the road!
Soren’s figure charged up again.
“This madman!”
The Vampire Son gasped, and when he saw the crimson pupils of his opponent, he inexplicably felt a trace of fear, instantly transforming into gas form to dodge.
Humiliation!
This battle felt like an utter humiliation to him from start to finish because throughout, he was chased and hacked at like a dog by the madman in front of him!
What he could not endure the most was that even now, he still didn’t know who the guy in front of him was!
He felt he was about to go insane.
