The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

Chapter 63: Life and Death Duel 2

Matthews did not flinch because of the pain, but took advantage of the force from the sword to move sideways, cleverly avoiding Benjamin's fatal blow and gaining a difficult space for himself. Fortunately, he was injured on the left side of his body, which did not affect his sword-swinging speed and flexibility.

At this moment, the audience burst into thunderous exclamations. They were deeply shocked by Benjamin's exquisite combos and cheered for him one after another.

Hunter watched the fierce battle on the field and exclaimed: "It's really thrilling. Benjamin is really too strong. His proficiency in swordsmanship is incredible. Every attack seems to be carefully calculated and is hard to defend against."

Archduke Leo nodded in agreement. "That was really impressive. I thought Matthews' response was good enough, but he was still a little slow."

Hunter asked curiously, “Grandfather, what do you mean by that?”

Grand Duke Leo explained: "In the previous battle, when Benjamin changed his sword style, Matthews should have adjusted his tactics immediately. Unfortunately, Matthews failed to react in time, which put him in such a dangerous situation."

Although Matthews found a temporary respite, Benjamin immediately pressed forward again with a sharp sword, forcing Matthews to continue to use his flexible ghost steps, defending while dodging and retreating. He did not dare to make an airtight and tough defense as before.

The situation on the field was stalemate again. The two had fought for more than 300 rounds. Although Benjamin's swift and sharp swordsmanship was very effective in direct confrontation, it seemed a little powerless in front of Matthews' flexible fighting tactics.

Faced with this situation, Benjamin had to use the Sochin sword technique again, which made the battle return to the original confrontation situation.

After several changes in sword techniques, Benjamin realized that Matthews was no longer able to fight against his sharp sword techniques head-on, and Sochin's sword techniques were no match for his opponent's fast sword techniques. This forced him to re-evaluate his opponent's tactics and look for new ways to break the current stalemate.

Grand Duke Soqin frowned and asked Master Claude for advice: "Master Claude, facing this situation, how should Benjamin solve it?"

Sword Master Claude pondered for a while and replied, "It's hard to have the same opportunity again. Now we can only use more powerful means. Either a large-scale attack to directly break the opponent's defense; or use special secret techniques to increase the power of Soqin Swordsmanship and disrupt the opponent's rhythm."

The audience gradually recovered from their tense state of watching the game and began to discuss this exciting duel with each other. They were full of expectations for Benjamin's next move.

Benjamin on the field no longer intended to continue wasting time, he decided to use a more powerful attack method - the spinning slash.

The Spinning Slash not only has a wide attack range, which can effectively limit Matthews's space for action, but also has great power, enough to cause heavy damage to the opponent. In the current situation, the Spinning Slash is undoubtedly the best choice to deal with Matthews' tactics.

Benjamin took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and prepared to adjust his breath and perform a powerful spinning slash. His body was as agile as the wind, and in just a moment, he was able to unleash the spinning slash and deal a heavy blow to the opponent.

However, Matthews remained alert, his eyes fixed on Benjamin, not missing any details, especially Benjamin's facial expression. Whenever he was about to perform a powerful sword skill, he would unconsciously bite his teeth.

Matthews keenly caught this subtle detail, and he immediately concluded that Benjamin would display a powerful sword skill. Even if his sword skills could be switched freely, the gap still existed anyway, so this was an opportunity, although it would pass in the blink of an eye.

But at this critical moment, Matthews decisively used his fast sword secret technique - Seven Stars One Point. His figure was as fast as lightning, and the sword light was as bright as stars. He went straight to Benjamin's heart with lightning speed. The speed of Seven Stars One Point was like a stone breaking the sky, and the sword hit Benjamin's vital point accurately.

There were exclamations from the audience one after another, they were shocked by Matthews' counterattack.

Grand Duke Sochin and Benjamin's two teachers were also shocked by this sudden change and stood up, with expressions of disbelief on their faces. They originally thought that Benjamin had a sure win, but they didn't expect that the other party actually had such an amazing counterattack ability.

This was Matthews' first counterattack since the start of the match, but with just one strike, he showed off his great strength and superb swordsmanship. Just when everyone thought the dust had settled, something strange happened again.

Although Matthews' counterattack was amazing, it accidentally hit Benjamin's breastplate, a protection he was not aware of.

The two men were stunned at the same time. Matthews was surprised that his sword was blocked, while Benjamin broke out in a cold sweat, and was grateful for his grandfather's advice, which saved him from danger.

Benjamin was filled with gratitude and fear. He recalled his grandfather's instructions before he left the house. Although he hesitated, he finally chose to obey and put on the breastplate. At this moment, he deeply realized his grandfather's foresight. This seemingly ordinary breastplate saved his life at a critical moment.

Matthews reacted quickly from his surprise. He immediately swung his sword and launched a series of fierce attacks in an attempt to make up for the mistake.

However, Benjamin recovered from the shock and retreated swiftly, cleverly avoiding Matthews' fierce attack.

Hunter sighed softly, "It's a pity, if only Matthews's blow hadn't gone straight to the heart."

Archduke Leo looked solemn and replied, "Things change all the time. There is no trace of the breastplate Benjamin was wearing. This should serve as a wake-up call for you. You must consider all aspects in future battles. There is often only one chance. If you miss it, the result will most likely be different."

Although Matthews' defensive swordsmanship was perfect, his offensive methods were relatively simple, mainly relying on a few quick sword techniques. In the duel with Benjamin, his offensive gradually weakened and he had to switch back to defense to deal with Benjamin's unpredictable swordsmanship.

Matthews remained alert, waiting for Benjamin to display his powerful sword skills again. He swore silently in his heart that once he seized the fleeting opportunity, he would pierce his opponent's throat with one sword, thus ending the fierce battle.

After a flurry of activity, Benjamin gradually regained his footing with his superb swordsmanship. He planned to perform a spinning slash again to deal a heavy blow to Matthews.

However, Matthews once again keenly perceived his intention, and quickly swung the sword in his hand, using the Seven Stars and One Point stunt to go straight for Benjamin's throat.

Although Benjamin remained highly alert and ready to deal with Matthews' counterattack at any time, Matthews chose the timing so cleverly every time that he could not defend himself.
