Advent of the Archmage Chapter 684

Link had to admit that Saroviny was a formidable opponent .

He had spent a lot of power intercepting three consecutive Fingers of Death from her and was starting to feel a bit tired . However, this was a duel to the death . The victor would be allowed to live on, while the vanquished would simply perish . Naturally, Link had no intention of revealing his current state to his opponent .

On the surface, Link looked as if he still had a lot of power to spare .

This was not all he had to hide . Link still had a trump card up his sleeve—the new Level-16 Legendary spell he had mastered under the guidance of the Snow Mountain Archmage .

However, he still had not given this new spell a fitting name . He had not even given it a proper test-run . Right now, he was looking for a chance to use it against Saroviny .

Just as these thoughts popped up in Link's head, Saroviny unleashed another attack at Link .

Despite its size, the massive green-black sword came at Link rapidly as if it was as light as feather .

Composing himself, Link lifted up the golden sword in his hand to intercept the attack .

Saroviny was an excellent swordswoman . It was almost impossible to anticipate which direction her sword would lash out . Anyone else standing in Link's shoes at that moment would have been slain by her in a second .

Link had been parrying her attacks with everything he had . He could feel an incredible weight pressing down on him when he received her first attack . When the second attack came, he could feel that the sword's weight lightened considerably . However, his nerves remained taut in anticipation of her subsequent attacks .

When the fourth attack came, Link had already seen through Saroviny's attack pattern . When Saroviny swung her sword at him for the sixth time, Link was confident that he could now predict where her attacks would come from and counter them accordingly .

Ting! Tch! Tang! Both sides were beginning to come to an impasse as their swords clashed and clanged against each other . Shockwaves rippled out from the point of impact in all directions . As the duel went on, spatial cracks burst open and sealed themselves up almost at the same time, while spatial fragments swayed precariously around them . Most of the forest in their vicinity were long reduced to ash during the course of their duel .

In the midst of their fierce altercation, Saroviny suddenly felt a dip in Link's power . This dip was almost imperceptible, but she was able to pick it up thanks to her unusually keen senses . The sudden drop in his power had left a tiny gap in Link's defenses .

I see you're finally getting tired! she thought gleefully .

Time was a precious commodity in death duels like theirs . Saroviny was not foolish enough to let slip such an opportunity to end the fight as soon as possible .

As soon as the thought surfaced in her mind, she stabbed out her sword at the gap that she had detected .

Tch! The sword struck the gap . Link's defenses began to undergo a drastic change at that moment . It now seemed to be on the verge of breaking apart .

Moments ago, Saroviny felt that she had been clashing against a metal wall . When this sturdy wall began to crumble, she now began to feel a bit more hopeful about her chances of killing Link right then and there .

Truth be told, even though she had harbored a burning hatred towards Link for more than a century, deep down, she still feared the human Magician . She had half a mind to run away just now when she saw Link block her signature move with little to no effort .

However, she finally managed to turn the tables on Link . In her excitement, she began brandishing her sword at her opponent even more frantically . With Link's defeat, she would be able to complete the mission that her father had entrusted her with and resolve her own inner demons once and for all .

Amid the clangs and booms that rang out from the clash of their swords, Link's golden giant form finally began to waver as it took a small step back . The golden sword in his hand also seemed to quiver, as if it was about to shatter .

"Hahaha, you lose, Link!" shouted Saroviny with a maniacal laugh . She then unleashed another flurry of attacks with renewed intensity .

She could feel that Link's defenses were now on the verge of falling apart completely .

Boom! The golden giant was forced back once more . Its attacks had become even more erratic and less powerful than before .

Saroviny easily deflected the giant's attacks . She was now so close to victory she could almost taste it . Her attacks slackened somewhat when she sensed that her opponent was beginning to flag .

Even so, her defenses remained almost impenetrable . If Link's power had really dropped to such an extent, he would definitely not be able to break through her Web of Death spell . However, this was all a feint .

In truth, though Link had spent much of his power trying to defend himself against Saroviny's attacks, his power was still in its Legendary state . His actual condition was a lot better than what he was letting on . Link did not put on this facade for no reason .

Link had deliberately done so to fool Saroviny into thinking that she had already won this fight . Once her defenses were sufficiently lowered, he would move in for the kill immediately .

"Die!" screamed Saroviny . Confident that nothing now stood in the way of her victory, she lunged at the golden giant, her sword poised to pierce through its body .

"Die!" screamed Saroviny . Confident that nothing now stood in the way of her victory, she lunged at the golden giant, her sword poised to pierce through its body .

She had put everything she had into this one attack . The momentum of her attack was so great that she would not be able to change her current trajectory midway even if she wanted to .

Boom! A loud explosion rocked the earth . Link's sword managed to effortlessly deflect Saroviny's attack .

At that moment, Saroviny sensed an incredible power running through her sword . The green-black sheen on the blade's surface began to dissipate . Then, the sword began trembling so violently that keeping a firm grip on its handle seemed almost impossible .

"Where did this power come from . . . No, you tricked me!" Saroviny immediately figured out what was happening .

She had fallen for Link's feint . There was almost no chance of recovering from such a fatal mistake in a duel of this level .

Saroviny's instinct to flee the place kicked in . Though she had no intention of going down without putting up a fight, she began retreating away from Link, focusing all her attention now on avoiding his follow-up attacks .

However, this was all in vain .

Link chased after her as she tried to retreat .

He was able to close the gap between them easily with one single stride . Light began pouring out of the giant golden blade in his hand that the Ode of a Full Moon sword had transformed into .

The golden sword grew bigger and bigger by the minute, hanging over Saroviny menacingly like a grim reaper's scythe . As soon as it reached her, her life would be extinguished like a candle .

Saroviny now grew desperate . She could see that Link's sword was moments away from cleaving her in two . Finally, she broke down .

Still retreating, she screamed, "Father! Father, save me!"

Saroviny knew that there was nothing she could do now to save herself . In another second or two, she would be killed by Link .

Death would only be a breath away .

Just as Link's sword was about to come down on her, Saroviny's body suddenly began to glow . When the light subsided, she was gone .

This was not a teleportation spell, nor was it an invisibility spell . It was a divine spell . Taken aback, Link immediately pulled back his sword .

The all-powerful Ruler of Light and Darkness had intervened in their duel . He was sure of it . Right now, Link was still a mortal . There was no way he would be able to survive a direct confrontation with a deity .

Link drew a deep breath and muttered to himself, "Great, she escaped . I suppose I could go back to Ferde and take care of things there . "

Saroviny was a lot more gullible than Link had previously thought . She was already down before he could even use his new spell on her . Nonetheless, he could now return to Ferde without wasting precious time waiting for his power to recover . Link had to admit that Saroviny was a formidable opponent .
