"Ok?"
Darkrai, who was controlling this nightmare, noticed something strange and paused.
After trying all his abilities and finding that there seemed to be no response, Su Yi helplessly said to himself: Do I really have to fight Pokémon with my bare hands this time?
At this moment, Su Yi was like Jotaro who was trapped in a dream by his substitute Death God 13, with powerful abilities but nowhere to use them.
"Even if I don't have those abilities, at least I have a weapon..."
Just as Su Yi finished sighing quietly, something was suddenly "stuffed" into his clenched fist, and he felt a familiar weight and feel.
Su Yi looked down in surprise and found that the huge iron sword was already in his hand, and it felt very real.
"!?"
Darkrai was shocked and confused when he saw this scene, so he immediately rushed forward and tried to attack.
Su Yi reacted quickly. Without thinking too much, he immediately entered combat mode and skillfully raised his sword to block.
clang--!
The sound of metal hitting stone was heard, but Su Yi did not move at all. Not only was Darkrai's shadow claw completely blocked, but the recoil force also caused his entire body to lean back.
"It's my turn!"
Su Yi seized Darkrai's weakness, took a step forward and quickly accumulated energy, then swung the sword and chopped it down heavily!
Zheng!
The sword whistled, and Darkrai had no time to cross his hands in front of him to defend himself. Then he let out a short grunt and was heavily knocked away.
Darkrai's hands naturally dropped down, trembling slightly. He slowly floated up, looked up at Su Yi, and asked in a deep voice: "How did you do it?"
Su Yi did not answer, but instead gripped the sword tightly, feeling the increasingly real feeling, as if dreams and reality had lost their boundaries.
"If this is possible, why not that?"
This thought suddenly popped up in Su Yi's mind.
After all, this is my dream!
A powerful belief surged from his heart, and the azure waveguide broke through its restraints, creating ripples like a drop of water falling into the water.
Om-!
Su Yi was covered in dark alien armor, and the sword in his hand became even more hideous and evil.
The surrounding environment turned into a castle ruin burning with flames, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and an illusory black hole seemed to swallow the world.
The dream at this moment seemed to have turned into a doomsday scene.
Clang!
Su Yi raised the Black Dragon Blade to feel its feel and weight, then stroked the Black Dragon armor on his body, and finally opened his arms, feeling the oppression of Xuhei City.
Those feelings seemed familiar, but he had never used the Black Dragon's equipment, nor had he ever been to Xuhei City in person.
"The feeling of wearing the Black Dragon equipment comes from other equipment I have worn before, and the atmosphere of the Black City also comes from other scenes..."
People cannot imagine things they have never touched. Naturally, this scene and the equipment on his body are actually a combination of Su Yi's feelings about other equipment and scenes, as well as the game modeling he has touched.
Although the senses are extremely real, their feelings do not correspond to the real thing.
"But that's enough, in my dream, this is reality!"
Su Yi picked up the big sword and took a stance, the black wings and dragon tail behind the armor swayed gently, and the evil eye on the helmet emitted a strange light.
At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into a demon who had merged with the black dragon.
"What is this? This should be a nightmare evolved from my characteristics! I should be in control of it!"
Darkrai was extremely puzzled, and at the same time extremely surprised that his dream control was countered.
Su Yi raised his sword and pointed it at Darkrai, saying in a shocking voice: "Get it clear, you are the challenger!"
Then he smashed the blade to the ground, dragging the sword forward, letting the heavy blade cut through the bricks and stones of the ruins, and finally slashed at Darkrai with a powerful dragging sword.
Bah!
Even though he had time to use Shadow Claws to block this time, Darkrai was still knocked away.
"This is just a warm-up, don't fall down so soon!"
Su Yi let out a low shout, picked up the sword, flipped in the air like a wolf, and then gathered his strength to chop down.
Bah!
The greatsword shattered the brick and stone ground, and Darkrai dodged it, while holding his hands in the air, and dark and twisted waves of evil continued to condense from them and were fired out one after another.
Clang, clang, clang...!
Bang bang bang...!
Su Yi swung the sword continuously with the force of flowing slash, breaking all the attacks, and his body was as still as a mountain.
After witnessing the unstoppable power of the greatsword, Darkrai decisively gave up on head-on combat.
Its body flashed, and dozens of shadow clones quickly dispersed and surrounded Su Yi.
"It's hard to deal with this with a big sword..."
Su Yi glanced at the shadow clones that kept circling him, keeping an eye out for Darkrai's sudden attack while thinking about countermeasures.
He doesn't have the diverse moves of Pokémon, so he can only rely on skills and understanding to adapt to the situation.
After all, the greatsword is a bit heavy compared to some other weapons.
“In that case…!”
Su Yi gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, quickly thinking about the feel and shape of the weapon in his mind.
Zheng!
Two seconds later, the Black Dragon Blade transformed into a twisted sharp blade that looked like a claw.
Black Dragon Annihilation Sword, activated!
Seeing Su Yi transform his weapon again, Darkrai took decisive action.
Whoosh whoosh!
Several evil waves flew out from the shadow clone that was moving rapidly around Su Yi, making it impossible for him to lock onto his real body.
Su Yi wielded the sword with full concentration, breaking the attacks one by one. His technique was a little awkward because he had never practiced it in practice, but he gradually became familiar with it as he swung it.
The attack of the katana is much more flexible than that of the broadsword. Su Yi let its attacks continue like waves, and he himself remained motionless, responding to all changes with the unchanging attitude.
Obviously, such a battle is more exhausting for Darkrai, so it starts to think about how to win as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, if you lose control of the dream, the other person may wake up at any time.
While swinging the sword, Su Yi became more and more adept at using the katana, and at the same time he was also thinking about how to use "Qi".
"Qi" is the most important mechanism of the katana.
Condense "Qi" through attack, then release the "Qi" on the blade to attack, and finally condense the "Qi Blade" on the blade to sharpen it, increasing the damage caused by the sword.
At the same time, Qi and Qi blade also have other uses, such as seeing through, Qi blade slash, Qi blade cut, Iai sword drawing and Qi blade slash, etc.
Its mechanism is actually similar to that of the shield axe, both of which are in the form of "accumulating energy through attacks → integrating energy to strengthen weapons → releasing energy through weapons".
But the difference is that the shield axe absorbs energy through mechanical devices and special materials, while the katana is a hunter who accumulates energy through "qi training".
This is a bit of a threshold. Before that, Su Yi had never come into contact with any energy like Qi, and this is not the world of martial arts.
Therefore, Su Yi stopped learning the katana here and turned to learning the simpler and easier-to-understand broadsword and shield axe.
"Although I have never come into contact with Qi, I have come into contact with the power of stars, the power of molten fire, and the power of waveguides. Their essence should all be a kind of energy..."
"This is my dream! Let's unleash our imagination!"
Su Yi's eyes focused and he chopped with his sword with full concentration.
hum!
The dream world fluctuated slightly as if responding to him. At that moment, Su Yi felt the return of the wave power!
Swish!
The air blade with a light blue wave slashed out, and the evil wave was cut like tofu. The evil wave was split into two halves and exploded after flying a distance.
Swish swish!
The subsequent waves of evil were all easily cut off. Since there was no explosion on the weapon, the burden on Su Yi's hands and the sluggishness in swinging were much less, and he swung with greater ease.
Suddenly, Darkrai's attack paused slightly, but the shadow clone still quickly circled Su Yi, as if it could continue to attack at any time.
But the next moment, a dark shadow suddenly extended behind Su Yi, and then suddenly jumped out.
With the cover of his shadow clone, Darkrai secretly turned into a shadow, approached Su Yi and launched a sneak attack.
"This is my route of attack!"
Darkrai held up the surging evil wave in one hand and smashed it towards Su Yi's back.
But in a flash, Su Yifu turned sideways as if he had anticipated it, and neatly avoided the wave of evil. Then he stepped forward and swung his sword, cutting through the wave of evil with a sharp and piercing slash.
boom!
The wave of evil exploded in Darkrai's hand, blasting him back.
Zheng!
In the aftermath of the explosion, the Black Dragon Annihilation Sword cut through the smoke and dust, swirling and slashing with a light blue wave.
The waveguide air blade spins!
The edge of the light blue air blade tore through Darkrai's chest, causing him to groan in pain.
Clang!
Su Yi took a step back, drew his sword and assumed an Iai stance, looking directly at Darkrai.
"Show me your motivation!"
Although Darkrai couldn't understand Virgil's provocative voice, it could feel the provocation through Su Yi's tone and eyes.
Swish!
Darkrai silently blended into the shadows of the Black City and kept moving back and forth, looking for opportunities to attack.
……
In Xun Miao's dream, even though it cut the shadow in front of it into pieces again and again, it could always be gathered together again.
After all, a blade cannot cut through a shadow.
The Shadow Swift Dragon paced gracefully around the Swift Cat, staring at it with its eyes emitting faint blue light.
Xun Miao seemed to see his former self, the phantom hunter in the shadows.
Perhaps, the shadow velociraptor in front of us was created based on its former prototype.
"Howl..."
The Shadow Swift Dragon let out a low growl, with contempt in his eyes.
Look at you, after returning to freedom, you have become so anxious, so embarrassed, so confused...
You have become weaker!
Xun Miao: “…”
That’s right, everything we just experienced is what actually happened after it descended on Xicui.
The embarrassment of being swept away by the sea, the anxiety of suddenly entering an unfamiliar environment, the doubts and confusion after leaving Su Yi...
These are indeed the true reflections of its inner thoughts in the past few days.
I evolved into Luna, and I'm stronger than before!
Swiftmeow retorted with a vicious growl at Shadow Swift.
"Howl!"
The Shadow Swift Dragon let out a sharp roar and retorted: You have been tamed!
You lose your freedom and become dependent on him. Look at yourself, you become so fragile and miserable once you lose him!
Think about yourself before you met him!
Free, fearless, ruthless and decisive!
Swift Meow was stunned. Shadow Swift Dragon's words were like a knife, piercing its weak spot accurately.
The weakness was its previous self-doubt, which arose before it fully recognized Su Yi, and this sudden separation opened up this "crack".
Looking at the shaken Swift Meow, a faint blue light flashed in Shadow Swift's eyes.
A nightmare is something a creature wants to escape from, and it succeeds.
At this moment, a spreading wave affected this dreamland. Shadow Swift's movements paused as he sensed something was wrong.
In an instant, countless images and feelings flashed through Xun Miao's mind: that was his concerned eyes, that was his comforting touch, that was the taste that he would never get tired of, that was the comfort of combing his hair...
Those are memories with him.
Best of all, he finally found it!
Think about everything we have experienced together, the anticipation and waiting are worth it!
Swift Cat's eyes instantly became clear and determined, and he roared at Shadow Swift Dragon.
It used to be!
Have you ever felt anxious when you couldn’t find food?
Have you ever been embarrassed when fighting against other powerful enemies?
When you were licking your wounds alone, not knowing what tomorrow would bring, didn’t you feel confused?
Now it doesn't have to worry about that.
And what is freedom? Isn’t that continent a huge cage for it?
Did it ever have the chance to see everything it sees now?
The moment it chooses to embark on the journey with him, it is free.
And, while he was taking care of them, did he feel that he was being used? Did he feel that he was losing his freedom?
Never!
We give to each other, but we don’t feel bound by each other!
Swish!
Swift Meow growled and swung its wing blade to cut the Shadow Swift Dragon in half, then snorted arrogantly.
In the end, I am happy!
The Shadow Swift Dragon closed the gap again, but this time it was speechless.
……
Su Yi assumed an Iai stance, waiting for Darkrai's attack.
But he could no longer lock onto Darkrai with his naked eyes as he was hiding in the shadows of the Black City.
Having learned its lesson, Darkrai became more cautious, preparing for a fatal blow.
"call!"
Su Yi took a deep breath. Since he couldn't lock it visually, he would use waveguide to lock it!
The field expands!
The waveguide spread out and covered the decisive battle site of Xuhei City. In the waveguide vision, Su Yi firmly locked onto a waveguide.
Su Yi pretended to sneer and said, "Can you stop your tricks? I saw you!"
Swish swish!
The dodgy shadow suddenly accelerated as if it was enraged, and shot out from behind Su Yi like lightning. A figure rushed out from the shadow and attacked Su Yi.
Su Yi curled the corner of his mouth, moved his feet slightly, and pushed the sword out of the sheath with his thumb against the guard, as if he was about to kill.
Swish!
At that moment, the shadow behind Su Yi quickly extended in front of him, and another Darkrai rushed out from the shadow, with his hands clasped in front of him, and the evil waves in him were ready to go.
It can be said that Darkrai's calculations and timing were very good.
It used its shadow clone to pretend to attack from behind, but its real body was actually hiding in the shadow. When the clone rushed out and Su Yi made a move, it made a surprise attack from the front.
But all of this was clearly visible in Su Yi's waveguide vision.
Bang!
The shadow clone behind him that was used for a feint attack bumped into Su Yi's back and disappeared, and it was at this moment that Su Yi drew his sword.
Zheng!
The blade was unsheathed, the air blade rang, and the Black Dragon Annihilation Sword slashed out a sharp line.
boom!
The evil wave in Darkrai's hand was cut and exploded, and several wisps of black gas were cut out of its body by the Iai Air Blade.
"You... can really see it?"
Darkrai asked in a serious tone while his body was shaking.
Clang!
Su Yi sheathed his knife, nodded and said, "So I will take advantage of their trick."
"Sure enough...very strong!"
Darkrai's body turned into black smoke and dissipated, the dream began to shatter, and the feeling of awakening was gradually pulling Su Yi out of the dream.
……
At the same time, in Xun Miao's dream, the silent shadow Xun Miao suddenly wavered and turned into smoke and dissipated.
Then, the entire dream began to crack and fall apart like a shattered mirror, revealing the dark nothingness behind it.
Xun Miao was surprised to see a familiar figure standing with a knife in another dream at the other end of the void.
At that moment, as if he had sensed something, the man turned around, was stunned for a moment after seeing Xun Miao, then grinned and waved at Xun Miao.
"Aww..."
Xun Miao lowered his body, relaxed, nodded to Su Yi, then closed his eyes, feeling the gradual awakening.
