THE BATTLE OF 1000 SPIRITS

CHAPTER 24: THE PROTECTOR OF THE FIRE ROSE RING

Mili and Holuka stared at each other sharply, they were both watching and observing their respective gaps to begin attacking.

Although Holuka had the upper hand because she used her core attack, she did not dare to move rashly at all. The reason is that Mili also has not used his core attack, then another reason is that even if Mili does not open the core attack, his strength is still frightening so that Holuka does not dare to act recklessly.

They continued to look for gaps until Holuka decided to move first, Holuka started to step forward, at the same time the 4 fire swords that were always revolving around Holuka started to spread.

1 sword of fire flew and attacked from the front, 1 sword of fire from the left, then 1 other sword of fire attacked from the right of Mili, then 1 other sword of fire attacked from the right, for the last 1 fire sword remained around Holuka protecting her.

Although all of them were fire swords flying in a swirling state, but every time the sword of fire whirled around it showed a rose-like shape with flaming petals constantly falling down.

"But! Tang!".

Mili struck the 2 fire swords that attacked from his left and right without any problem, after which he dodged the fire swords that attacked from the front with a slight movement of his body to the side.

Suddenly the 2 fire swords that were struck away flew back towards him, while the fire swords that he had managed to avoid revolved like a boomerang that rushed towards Mili again.

This time Myro was attacked from 4 directions because the front there is also Holuka who shook his sword.

"The Rose of Fire!", cried Holuka where her sword fire turned into a rose trunk full of thorns and exploded trying to catch Mili.

"Dash!".

Mili cut the stem of the fire rose that attacked towards her. But no matter how hard Mili tried to cut it, the stem of the fire rose continued to grow back trying to catch her.

In the midst of a desperate situation, Mili concentrated great strength in his spear "I admit that the core attack you have is indeed troublesome, but in the end there is a great weakness in every strength that is its user! As long as the user dies, no matter how powerful the power is, it will eventually disappear. Blood Aura!".

A strange red aura gathered on Mili's spear, he took his breath before swinging his spear towards the pile of fire roses trying to kill himself by catching it.

"Dash!".

The blood aura from Mili's spear formed a slash that cut through the pile of thorny rose stems.

After that, the slash continued forward until it was right in front of Holuka.

Facing the slash of Mili's spear attack, Holuka said confidently "You're right, no matter how powerful an attack is as long as the user dies then all of it will disappear. But you forget 1 thing, my core attack is not an attack to kill the enemy, but my main objective of the core attack is the protector who protects the target, he said, as the name of my core attack is the Protector of the Ring of Fire Roses!".

"Shelf!".

Mili's blood aura attack was immediately stopped by 1 fire sword that was still revolving around Holuka.

But slowly Mili's blood aura weakened while Holuka's fire sword remained just as powerful.

Under the swirling attack of the fire sword, finally the attack of Mili's blood aura completely disappeared.

On the other hand, Mili dodged the fire sword that attacked him from the right side, then he slashed the fire sword from the left side using his spear.

Sensing the crisis from behind, Mili jumped up without hesitation which made her manage to dodge again.

Seeing the back of her was empty, Mili ran towards the back without hesitation. He is not a fool, if it continues like this then it remains a matter of time until he will be defeated by Holuka.

For that reason, Mili ran towards the fence that bordered between the ship and the sea.

Without a doubt, Mili jumped to stand on the guardrail, then he jumped into the sea without hesitation.

"What?", Holuka was shocked at Mili's crazy move, they were now in the middle of the sea.

Although their ship has not been too long to leave, but they are quite far from the dock. If you jump now, there is a high chance of dying in the middle of the sea either due to drowning, fatigue, or hunger.

Therefore, Holuka never thought Mili would choose to jump into the sea as a way to escape. Who would have thought, the most unlikely path would otherwise be the one chosen by Mili.

Without hesitation, Holuka ran towards the direction where Mili jumped followed by the 4 fire pedans that kept flying around her while muttering "Is she crazy? He even left his master just for his own life, did he not have a heart - Wait, he was a cold-hearted general who killed 1 capital without hesitation, he said, I don't think it's unusual for him to leave his master for his own life".

When he reached the guardrail, Holuka looked down where he was surprised to find a sharp iron rod flying towards him.

"But!".

Fortunately there were 4 fire swords that always protected him so that the iron rod failed to injure him.

But Mili, now hanging from the wall of the ship by thrusting his spear into the wall, smiled proudly "As I said, every strength has a weakness! It seems that I managed to find the fatal weakness of your other strength that those 4 fire swords could only attack the person you saw. If the target is not under your sight, then the sword of fire will not be able to chase after him, am I right".

Holuka's face became cold, he realized that Mili was deceiving him, he pretended to jump from the ship so that he was careless which made Mili know 1 other weakness of his core strength.

"When you find out about it then why? Do you think you've won? I may not be able to attack those who are not under my sight, even so my fire sword defense will always protect me automatically whether I realize it or not. So in the end your attack will not hurt me" said Holuka confidently, then he waved his hand which made 2 swords of fire rush towards Mili who was hanging on his spear that pierced the ship "Besides isn't your situation really bad right now? By jumping and hanging on your spear, doesn't that mean you have nowhere to escape from my sword unless you jump into the sea?".

Facing the 2 fire swords that were approaching him, Mili who had almost no way of escaping again said with a mocking smile "Do you think so? But you're wrong, there's an escape route here!".
