YM778.TV Chapter 156 Duel
"A Soul-Forged weapon can do that?" Lesley asked Guardian Evrim beside her.
The two of them are secretly watching this battle together with a few servants. They were in a VIP room connected that can view the central arena from a high vantage point and they initially thought that this duel was just a way for Vincent to gain sympathy.
They were sure that Vincent\'s combat ability has greatly decreased after being blind and there was no chance for him to win at all.
Nevertheless, since he accepted the duel, he must\'ve planned to use this as a stage to gain sympathy or to uphold the promise made by their parents to marry her. That\'s right, they thought that he would use the sympathy of the crowd to gain some supporters and continue with the engagement!
This is after they heard a report that Turhan visited Vincent\'s cabin and the Black Tower\'s personnel within the Floating Ship had immediately advertised the duel to get everyone to watch.
None of them thought that he would be here to genuinely fight against Richard!
However, it doesn\'t seem to be seeing how Vincent could release such a powerful attack.
Evrim was also surprised at this as she answered Lesley\'s question.
"That\'s correct. They were rumored to possess such ability but I heard that there is a special method to activate these Soul-Forged things. If you don\'t know this method, it would just appear like a normal weapon or even worse…"
"Does that mean that Vincent has a method to release it? Is it that rare?"
"Hmm… Soul-Forged Weapons weren\'t that rare compared to a Pseudo-Legendary weapons. As far as I know, this soul forging method was only inherited by a few powerful clans. Perhaps the Kayser Clan has this method?"
"Most likely… Perhaps they also have the method to activate it? I should probably ask my father… Right, I\'m sure that our treasury also has various Soul-Forged Weapons."
Lesley muttered as she frowned while looking at the Arena.
"I even have one with me… What\'s more important is the method to activate it." Evrim said.
As a Guardian of the Zemin Clan, she has access to many Magic Tools and Artifacts so it wasn\'t surprising that she has a Soul-Forged item.

Vincent felt really nervous just now.
In truth, he hadn\'t seen the Cloud Tiger that Richard released. What he only felt was that Richard\'s weapon disappeared in his Item Sense Ability!
It means that it was either stored in dimensional storage space for that short duration or was broken and was no longer considered a complete item.
Of course, since he knows that he wasn\'t the one who broke the item, he realized that it was some kind of one-time use technique like a grenade or something similar.
\'No, wonder he easily agreed to hand over the scepter if I win…\'
At first, he considered taking the attack head-on with his several defensive talismans but the Mana Fluctuation he just felt was too scary. He didn\'t know where it was coming from as the pressure covered his entire body! He can\'t locate the attack so he had to do something.
He then decided to use his cane\'s second skill!
He received this skill after one of his two One-Time Item Random Skill Card was used!
[ Soul-Forged Ironbark Cane +10 ]
[ Quality: Legendary
Number of Enhancements: 10/10
Durability: 599/600
Crush: +530
Accuracy: +40
Description: An ascended cane that is suited for battle. It is carved from the exclusive Ironbark to form the base of the cane. It is decorated with gilded patterns and only leaves the handle untouched which has been decorated with scale-like stubs.
Remarks: This item has reached the limit and can not be enhanced. ]
[ Skills:
Ensnare (Active Skill ): In exchange for 50 units of mana, multiple targets within 35 meters of the user will be trapped by Ironcoral Vines.
Soul Manifestation ( Exclusive Soul-Forged Item Skill ): In exchange for 200 units of mana, the creator\'s soul will be summoned for five seconds that can be commanded to attack or defend. ]
To reach this level of the weapon, Vincent had used all of his Beast Cores and Spirit Stones he accumulated… He initially thought that he would still have plenty of them even after arriving at the Black Tower.
However, he only managed to get three +10 legendary items before they were emptied. After that, he can only rely on his own energy to continue with the ascension or enhancement. Perhaps, he doesn\'t have many issues with the enhancement but ascensions are just too expensive!
Since he still has to give Tara and Rem some high-quality modified potions, he can\'t just spend them all for his own good.
At this moment, Vincent felt confident that smashing Richard\'s face with his cane would guarantee his win.
Furthermore, he\'s confident that his cane would no longer easily lose its durability no matter how he used it.
This is after testing it with Rem and Tara\'s Celestial Armors!
Previously, he was always worried about his cane. It would lose durability after a single use! It was as if it couldn\'t handle the "Crush" attribute that it has. This made him hesitant to use it unless necessary.
However, after it became legendary and tested by the tough Celestial Armors, it only lost 1 durability point after 10 \'crushes\'!
Vincent then made his move after realizing that Richard was flustered by his defense.
"Ensnare…"
Iron vines suddenly grew from the ground as they entangled Richard!
Many of the Zemin Clan elites know this ability since they have seen this attack before. Of course, Richard learned about this as well after a simple investigation so he didn\'t panic.
He finally calmed down as he activated the Mana Art that he prepared for this…
"Earth Shifting…"
It is the favorite movement technique of Master Magicians that has mastered the Earth Element.
Richard used it to slip through the entanglement as he moved forward… He didn\'t think of retreating at all. He\'s fighting against a blind man and there was no way he would be the one continuously dodging and keeping distance!
It should be Vincent running away from him!
With this thought, Richard pulled out a short magic blade…
Whoosh~
He waved it in front of him as he started moving closer… The wave of his magic blade created several air bullets aiming at Vincent\'s body.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
As expected, the attack didn\'t even reach Vincent as everyone thought that it was probably the effect of the magic robe he was wearing.
Everyone thought that Vincent will try to use his iron vines again but instead, they saw him pull out a black dagger that was emitting an eerie aura.
Needless to say, it was Vincent\'s Astral Night Dagger…
Vincent then clumsily throws it in Richard\'s direction.
Whoosh~
As everyone doubts that it could even harm the latter with how weak it was thrown, something unexpected happened…
