Chapter 170: What A Group Of Heroes Are Capable Of (5)
Alex's PoV:
"You, humans, have driven me to the point that I was forced to transform into my human form. Now that I'm at my peak condition, let's continue our fight, shall we?"
The huge cheetah spoke in a tone that was confident and exuded a sense of authority but not arrogance.
The huge cheetah forwarded both of his hands towards Distere and me. The huge cheetah channeled the mana in its body towards its hands and then it's nailed which caused the length of the huge cheetah to increase and the tip of its nail became much sharper.
The huge cheetah then channeled the mana in its body around its entire body to improve the function of its body.
After the huge cheetah's preparation was complete, the huge cheetah started at Distere and I.
"I'll wait for the two of you to complete your preparations as well. If the two of you will die at my hands, might as well perform the best fight the two of you could put out."
The huge cheetah spoke towards us with utmost confidence that Distere and I would lose against the huge cheetah.
Of course, it would be pointless to argue with an intelligent monster such as the huge cheetah and even if Distere and I argued with the huge cheetah, the two of us would look like idiots.
The huge cheetah had given Distere and I a chance to activate whatever strength-enhancing skills that the two of us possessed so why not comply with it?
I planned on purchasing the [Sword Song] and [Sword Dance] skills after I had obtained enough system points since those two skills were highly needed for achieving a higher realm in the Sword Dao.
Although I had not acquired those two skills from the system yet, it didn't mean that I couldn't use those two skills.
I was a genius in my former life so I might as well utilize my intelligence and knowledge. I could imitate the [Sword Song] and [Sword Dance] skill but by imitating those two skills, the power of the original skill would be cut in half.
Therefore, no matter how powerful the [Sword Song] and [Sword Dance] skill was, it wouldn't be that much power if the power of that two skills was cut in half.
But I guess it's better than nothing, right?
Although I could imitate the [Sword Song] and [Sword Dance] skill, there would be another restriction for those two skills other than cutting its power in half.
I couldn't active the [Sword Song] and [Sword Dance] skills at the same time which would be disadvantageous for me considering those two skills would be overpowered only when those two skills were combined.
I don't know if I could loan system points from the system but even if could, I wouldn't since the interest for loaning system points must be high.
*The host is right. The host can loan any amount of system points but at the price of having a 50% interest every month.*
50%?! That's too high. So if I loaned 1 million system points to purchase a Beyond God rank skill, then I would have to pay an extra 500 thousand which meant that I needed to pay 1.5 million system points in total.
Unless the situation was dire, it's best not to use the loaning feature of the system since the loaning feature of the system was even much more absurd than the interest provided by loan sharks back on Earth.
I decided to activate the imitated version of the [Sword Dance] skill since that skill would provide me a much higher chance to survive than the [Sword Song] skill.
As the name suggested, the [Sword Dance] skill was a higher form of sword technique that allowed the swordsman to execute footwork, evasion, and body movement while using the sword as if the swordsman was dancing.
With the [Sword Dance] skill, I could evade the potential lethal attacks that the huge cheetah in human form could attack against me.
"Distere, further improve the synchronization of the mana in our body up to 100%! I will activate the imitated version of [Sword Dance]!"
I said to Distere who was beside me. Distere nodded in response as he controlled the mana that was synchronized in both of our bodies to further improve our synchronization percentage.
Currently, Distere and my mana in our bodies were at a 50% synchronization percentage. There would be a lot of side effects that would occur if our synchronization would reach 80% and let alone 100%.
One of the side effects would be our mental defense would be vulnerable but only to each other and not to third parties.
So if I wanted to, I could pry into Distere's memories as long as the synchronization percentage reached 80%.
I could also tamper with Distere's memories if I wanted to as long as the synchronization percentage reached 100%.
Distere could also do the same as those above mentioned but since I had a much higher mental defense system than Distere, Distere would be more vulnerable than I am in the state of 100% synchronization.
Distere would be at a disadvantage if both of us reached 100% synchronization so it was a matter of trust between us.
As Distere kept on fusing and manipulating the combined mana on both of our bodies, the synchronization percentage increased by 1% as every second that had passed by.
Distere and I could experience a surge of power flowing within our bodies as the synchronization percentage increased by every second that had passed by.
Distere was focusing on increasing the synchronization percentage of the mana inside our body so I started to focus on doing my part as well.
I recreated, memorized, and analyzed the essence of the [Sword Dance] skill so that I would be able to grasp a much higher imitation quality.
There was a legend that I had read from a book in this world that foretold the tale of the Greta Sage Of Imitation that could imitate any skills with a 99% imitation quality which meant that it's 99% the same as the original.
At most, I could only do a 50% imitation quality but if I overdid my performance bad went past my limitation, I could reach 70% imitation quality.
Of course, that's only a hypothesis since I had not yet reached past 50% imitation quality let alone 70%.
Nonetheless, I still tried my best to break my limits to reach 70% imitation quality in the [Sword Dance] skill.
It took me several seconds to activate the [Sword Dance] skill at 67% imitation quality.
Although I had not achieved 70% imitation quality in the [Sword Dance] skill, achieving 67% imitation quality in the [Sword Dance] skill was already an astonishing feat for me so I decided that it's better than nothing.
Distere was also almost finished in achieving 100% synchronization percentage of mana combination in our bodies since Distere had now reached 89% in synchronization percentage.
I waited for 11 seconds to passed and after 11 seconds, Distere and I had achieved 100% synchronization percentage in the mana inside our bodies.
The huge cheetah that was in human form wasn't attacking Distere and I yet as it had promised us a while ago.
Distere and I raised the condensed mana longsword upwards while channeling our mana towards the condensed mana longsword.
Distere and my mana enveloped the condensed mana long sword with thick mana and I decided to add a space attribute towards the condensed mana longsword.
The condensed mana longsword was coated with space attributed mana as an aura of black with small sparkling lights covered the condensed mana longsword.
The aura of black with small sparkling lights was the space attributed to mana so I didn't panic in adding the wrong mana attribute since demonic mana and space mana was almost similar if not for the small sparkling lights that were combined with the black color of the space attributed mana.
I had integrated the [Sword Dance] in Distere and my body. Distere and I ran towards the huge cheetah and every step that we took was similar to that of dance footwork.
The huge cheetah waited for Distere and me to reach its attack range. After Distere and I reached the attack range of the huge cheetah, the huge cheetah slashed its hands with long sharp nails towards Distere and me.
Two compressed air claws headed towards Distere and me at a high speed so Distere and I jumped and twisted our body and after we landed on the ground, Distere and I threw condensed mana longsword towards the two compressed air claws.
Due to Distere and I rotating earlier, the condensed mana longsword was rotating towards the two compressed air claws at high speed after it was launched.
The condensed mana longsword collided with the two compressed air claws and fortunately, the condensed mana longsword had more force than the two compressed air claws so the condensed mana longsword destroyed the two compressed air claws and was now heading towards the huge cheetah.
The huge cheetah forwarded its right hand towards the condensed mana longsword and opened his hands.
The condensed mana longsword collided with the hand of the huge cheetah and the huge cheetah successfully caught the condensed mana longsword.
"Is that all you got?"
The huge cheetah ridiculed Distere and me while shattering the condensed mana longsword that the huge cheetah was holding in its right hand.
