#370 - Thunder Whip! (Seeking monthly ticket recommendation ticket)

Faced with the Thunder Bird's violent offensive, Anduin knew that directly blocking would only result in his own disadvantage. He had to dodge, but the fire blade could freely extend and contract according to the opponent's will, so retreating was definitely not an option. М

Therefore, in a split second, Anduin activated the Phase Boots on his feet, and with a sway, he sprinted at high speed, dodging to the left. At the same time, while moving laterally, he shot several Silent Blade Curses at the Thunder Bird, attempting to disrupt its movements.

"Hehehe, are you at your wit's end?"

The Thunder Bird mocked with a cold laugh upon seeing Anduin's actions. It then held the fire blade horizontally, and with a forceful pull, the dozens of meters long blade swept towards the direction Anduin was dodging.

The Silent Blade Curses shot towards it were easily destroyed by the horizontal swing of the Hell Blade, unable to cause the Thunder Bird any harm.

"Hahaha, run, run! The space here has already been sealed off by the disruptor on your body, so you can't use Apparition, right? Then let's see if your two legs are faster, or my flames are!" At this moment, a savage expression appeared on the Thunder Bird's face as it frantically waved the giant blade in its hand.

The row of Hellfire-constructed Hell Blades, under the force of the sweeping attack, cut down the trees along the way, and the accumulated snow melted, becoming stained with raging Hellfire, turning the area behind Anduin into a sea of fire.→

The approaching wave of fire gradually closed in on Anduin, like a towering tsunami forged from flames, giving a sense of immense pressure.

Meanwhile, Anduin had been running around the Thunder Bird in an arc. In just a short while, he was about to circle around to the area behind the Thunder Bird.

No, he couldn't retreat any further. The trap he had set up was still some distance away from the target. If he allowed the Hellfire to ignite everything around him, it would be troublesome. Although Anduin had been stalling for time, it still wasn't enough. Now, he had no choice but to risk a direct confrontation.

"Electron Vortex!"

Having made up his mind, Anduin immediately stopped and swung his wand fiercely at the oncoming Hellfire giant blade. Instantly, a powerful electric arc erupted from the tip of his wand.

These currents, interwoven with blue and silver, rapidly converged, forming a seven or eight-meter-long lightning whip.

As Anduin drew out his wand, this lightning whip, like a lightning snake, met the Hell Blade, and the two quickly collided.

"Bang!"

At the instant of the collision between [Wild Lightning] and [Hellfire], a loud metallic sound rang out, as if the whip and blade were not composed of elements, but were actual metal weapons.

The lightning whip that Anduin wielded was both flexible and rigid. The head of the whip, like a soft leather whip, tightly entangled the Hell Blade, while the body of the whip was like straight, hard steel, firmly resisting the Hell Blade, preventing it from advancing an inch further.

"Haha! Wonderful, wonderful! That's how it should be! Use all your tricks, or I guarantee you won't see the sun tomorrow!" The Thunder Bird laughed even more maniacally, while simultaneously putting more force into its arms holding the blade horizontally, pressing the Hell Blade down on Anduin.

Anduin was struggling to resist the advance of the fire blade. The Hellfire seemed to sense its master's malice and ferocity, burning even more fiercely.

Although Anduin's lightning whip remained sturdy under his control, the immense force from the front still pushed him slowly backward, his feet even plowing two deep furrows in the snow.

The Hellfire's celebratory heat wave crashed against Anduin's face, even causing him to sweat in the midst of the Christmas winter.

No, he couldn't continue this struggle. How could this madman's magic seem to be endless? Unleashing such a large-scale magic spell, yet showing no signs of fatigue.

Anduin bit down hard, immediately crouching slightly, shifting his center of gravity downward. Then, with a sudden burst of force from his waist, arms, hips, and legs, he desperately flicked the lightning whip upward, instantly deflecting the Hell Blade high into the air.

Afterward, Anduin quickly regained his breath, lowered his body, exerted force, and charged towards the Thunder Bird. He then fiercely drew out the lightning whip, and the whip's head, flashing with dazzling electric light, transformed into a silver snake's head, aiming at the Thunder Bird for a vicious bite.

After being deflected high, the fire blade, due to its excessive size and long radius of movement, resulted in the Hell Blade's poor flexibility. If it continued to maintain this form, it would be impossible to react in time.

However, the Thunder Bird did not panic in the face of this situation. With a contemptuous smile, it expertly flicked its right hand. The original dozens of meters long Hell Blade was shrunk by the Thunder Bird to the same few meters in length, calmly meeting the lightning whip that was attacking in a serpentine pattern.

Then, these two magical weapons, also composed of original elemental runes, clashed fiercely again. However, this time, unlike the tug-of-war-like struggle before, it was more like two rangers wielding cold weapons, engaging in close-quarters combat.

At this moment, the Thunder Bird was like a deranged serial killer, or a lumberjack who had drunk too much, raising the Hellfire blade high and chopping down repeatedly, performing a 'New Year's Sword Dance' on the spot.

But for Anduin, close combat was his forte and his favorite fighting style. Therefore, facing the Thunder Bird's frenzied advance, Anduin simply smiled coldly. He then crossed his steps, not even hastily raising the lightning whip, relying solely on his footwork to dodge the opponent's attacks.

Furthermore, when the Thunder Bird once again drew its blade upward, Anduin seized the opportunity to quickly bend down and swing the whip, drawing the lightning whip from a low position towards the Thunder Bird's lower body.

Seeing this, the Thunder Bird, who was exerting force to chop down, was slightly startled. It quickly stopped its downward momentum, retracted its blade, and swung it horizontally downward, attempting to block with the edge of the blade.

But at this moment, Anduin changed his move again. He shook and pulled the wand in his hand. The horizontally sweeping lightning whip instantly undulated up and down like a wave. After this swing, the whip's head immediately lifted upward, turning in a strange arc and stabbing directly at the Thunder Bird's right face.

But at this time, the Thunder Bird had already swung the blade downward, and it was too late to raise the blade to defend the upper body.

Discovering this situation, the Thunder Bird had no choice but to roll to the left in desperation, barely dodging the danger of being blown away by the lightning whip.

The Thunder Bird's roll, although it allowed it to avoid the danger of being directly swept by the lightning whip, also caused it to lose the initiative in the attack. This was like 'losing the initiative' in chess, one step slow, every step slow.

Seeing this situation, Anduin showed no politeness and immediately wielded the lightning whip, launching a storm-like offensive against the Thunder Bird.

Under Anduin's control, the lightning whip was like a nimble viper, either chopping, sweeping, pointing, stabbing, drawing, or entangling the Thunder Bird not far away.

Under his continuous offensive, the Thunder Bird no longer had the unparalleled aura of its previous attacks. At this moment, it could only dodge left and right, while raising the Hell Blade to barely parry.
