Chapter 213 Meteor Fall
A shooting star streaked across the sky.
A star sacrifices itself to bring about a miracle.
Henry felt the cold blade of the sword cleanly kiss his throat.
The pain, which cannot be described, arrives late, while shock and fear arrive even faster.
He knew that the loyal dog was very strong. More than a decade ago, he was almost shot to death by the loyal dog with an arrow across the turbulent sea.
Judging from the current situation, that was not the limit of the loyal dog's strength at that time.
Or rather, since then, the loyal dog has become even stronger.
To agree to a duel with a loyal dog is undoubtedly a foolish choice.
However, Henry still chose to do so, for a simple reason: he believed he could defeat the loyal dog.
There were also emotional factors involved. Loyal Dog was Henry's only worthy adversary, and only Loyal Dog had driven Henry to the brink of despair on several occasions.
If Henry wanted to prove himself superior to anyone, it would undoubtedly be a loyal dog.
However, judging from the current situation, Henry was wrong.
He did not misjudge his own strength, but he underestimated the power of the loyal dog.
The loyal dog launched its attack the instant the duel began, completely unexpected by Henry, who had no idea that the dog would attack so decisively.
Henry had no time to prepare; the loyal dog's greatsword was already at him.
The blade left a trail of icy blue light in the air. Before Henry could even see what happened, the loyal dog had already swept past him, sword and all.
He felt his vision tilting backward; was it because he hadn't stood firmly?
No.-·
He couldn't feel his feet at all!
He couldn't control not only his feet, but also his hands, stomach, back, chest—everything below his neck.
Only a chill that penetrated to the very soul occupied all of Henry's senses.
Only then did Henry finally understand what had happened.
He was beheaded by the loyal dog.
Henry felt his entire head floating in mid-air.
It was getting colder and colder; was death approaching? Perhaps the little blood left in my brain was rapidly draining away.
His vision became increasingly blurry, and the yellow moon in the sky gradually dimmed.
In a daze, a beam of light flashed before his eyes.
That was a shooting star!
In an instant, Henry's vision and consciousness cleared, and a warm current flowed through his veins again.
At the same time, there was an indescribable force pulling his head back to its original position.
As if time had reversed, Henry's gaze returned to its initial state.
His senses, which permeated his limbs and bones, reconnected with his consciousness.
Henry tried to tighten his right hand, and the rough texture of the wood on his fingertips told him that his head had been reattached to his body!
He didn't have time to think too much; his immediate priority was dealing with the loyal dog that was already close to him!
Henry quickly leaped forward, turned in mid-air, and gripped the axe with both hands to prepare for any possible attack.
Henry now truly understood that the loyal dog genuinely wanted to kill him.
Moreover, that dog was so powerful that it seemed otherworldly; any one of its attacks could have killed Henry!
However, the loyal dog did not make any move.
He seemed to be shocked, and his whole body stiffened.
Henry understood what the loyal dog was strange about, and Henry was equally surprised by it.
A severed head can actually reattach itself?
If it weren't for the impending doom, Henry would probably have been stunned and frozen in place. It was probably because the loyal dog sensed that Henry might have some kind of ability to control life and death that it was on guard and did not approach rashly.
Henry immediately took advantage of the opening to create some distance—being too close to the loyal dog was too dangerous.
After retreating a distance, Henry gained a better view and could see the overall situation of the battlefield.
The loyal dog still did not act rashly, and the two witnesses standing on the control panel were also surprised by what had just happened.
Benson, that old bastard, even opened his jaw wide, showing no semblance of a pirate leader, and not at all calm or shocked.
Henry then took advantage of the moment to reach out and touch his neck.
I touched a raised scar; the scar was wide, indicating that what I had just seen was not an illusion.
His head was indeed cut off by a loyal dog.
Henry also guessed what it was that had pulled him back from the brink of death.
He recalled the last words spoken in his eyes as his head flew through the air, and murmured involuntarily:
"meteor-"
He then reached into his pocket and grabbed it hard.
There should have been two gold coins there, and one of them is still intact.
The other one shattered into many irregular fragments.
Henry knew he was right, because he had only given this gold coin one enchantment: Meteor!
Henry had never encountered such a crisis before, so he was unsure whether "Meteor" would be effective.
But now it seems that its effects far exceed expectations.
This is a one-time effect that can only be triggered at night, and its purpose is to protect the wearer.
Henry never imagined that the power of the "Meteor" could even reverse death!
Thinking back to the pendant he had given Cathy, which he had also enchanted with this power, Henry realized how wise his decision had been.
As a father, he did offer some help to his son, but the stargazer said that this term also has limitations.
Stargazers believe that the stars share a common consciousness, and that the same human being will not be protected multiple times.
Once someone has triggered the equipment that has been given the "Meteor" buff, the stars will never sacrifice a second star for them.
In other words, it's useless to enchant more items with "Meteor"; this attribute can only protect the same person once.
Henry clutched the gold coin fragments in his hand, something he never parted with.
He remembered that night when Natalie saved him and became the light in his heart.
The two gold coins Natalie left behind that day saved him once again.
Natalie Henry's resolve hardened... I must find Natalie!
Henry gripped the axe tighter and stared intently at the loyal dog in the distance.
In terms of physical ability and martial arts skills, Henry was no match for the loyal dog.
The difference in strength between the two cannot be bridged by a single magical weapon.
Henry understood all this from the beginning, but he still agreed to the loyal dog's duel proposal because of the duel venue...
On his two gold coin numbers.
As long as he's on this ship, Henry is confident he can defeat anyone.
The loyal dog on the other side finally made a move and got back into position.
He was beheaded before because he wasn't prepared. Now that Henry has taken precautions, it won't be so easy for the loyal dog to succeed again.
The loyal dog became more cautious, slowly approaching Henry. Once it was within a certain distance, the loyal dog suddenly leaped up.
He raised the greatsword high above his head and then slashed it down.
Henry instinctively realized that if he chose to take the attack head-on, he would be chopped in two, axe and all.
Fortunately, the move wasn't fast, and Henry dodged it with a quick side jump, narrowly avoiding the attack at the last second before it hit him.
The sword smashed a large hole in the ship's plank in an instant, and the deafening sound startled Henry.
Then he saw a red shockwave, still spreading forward, cutting a five-foot-long crack in the deck.
Henry couldn't help but be surprised that the loyal dog was really just a human.
But he also realized that this move created an opening for the loyal dog.
Henry immediately stepped forward and swung his sword down.
The loyal dog used his arms to pull the greatsword diagonally upwards, dragging his body in the opposite direction.
Ultimately, before Henry could strike, the blade of the sword was used as a shield, separating the two.
Henry's attack was blocked by the blade.
His attack did not stop there, triggering the entry "The End of the Universe".
The point where the greatsword made contact with Henry's axe immediately frosted over, and the frost spread outwards.
Henry understood that it was simply that the moisture in the air had condensed.
But the effect of "The End of the Universe" is far more advanced than that of "Frost".
In less than a second, the loyal dog suddenly retreated and created distance.
The entry worked!
Although the loyal dog was completely covered in armor, Henry could tell that at least the dog's hands had developed blood clots due to the low temperature.
Stargazers believe that the universe is not static; it is expanding, and stars are constantly being born and dying.
But since there is expansion, there must be boundaries.
If the total amount of energy in the universe is constant, then during its expansion, the energy must be diluted, causing the temperature of the universe to continuously decrease.
Therefore, at the end of the universe, there is a being that constantly consumes heat.
Therefore, unlike ordinary ice-attribute attacks, Henry's skill allows his possessions to transform into "the boundary of the universe," directly dividing the opponent's temperature.
Even the legendary ice dragon, which is said to be immune to ice damage, would absolutely be unable to withstand this power.
The loyal dog immediately sensed something was wrong and retreated, but his body temperature must have been largely consumed by Henry's axe.
He must burn the energy within his body to generate internal heat in order to make up for this loss of body temperature.
However, this entry cannot be left open for an extended period of time, otherwise it may backfire on the user.
Therefore, it requires the user to use it at the right time. Henry closed the entry the moment the loyal dog left.
Seeing that his loyal dog was in poor condition, Henry would not let this opportunity pass.
He hurriedly chased after the loyal dog, and just as he was about to reach it, he raised his axe and swung it down.
Such a haphazard attack should theoretically have no chance of harming a warrior of Loyal Dog's caliber.
However, Henry never believed from the beginning that the loyal dog was an opponent that could be defeated by wildly swinging an axe.
He immediately activated another entry for the axe wound: "meteorite".
As the axe struck down, the blade sliced through the air and, due to friction, ignited a layer of flame, just like a meteorite falling.
Henry knew that this was not just a resemblance; it was a meteorite.
This axe blow was as powerful as a meteorite.
If the loyal dog were to try to block Henry's attack like before, even if his greatsword didn't break or crack, his hands would surely be numb from the shock.
At this moment, the blood should be flowing poorly from the loyal dog's hands, and Henry might even have a chance to knock the loyal dog's weapon away!
Of course, Henry himself did not have that much strength.
With this blow, it was more like he was being dragged away by the axe.
All power comes from the entry itself.
"Meteorite" was also a one-time entry. After being given it, Henry even had to rest for ten days before his magic was fully restored.
However, if it works, it could even secure Henry's victory!
The loyal dog seemed to realize that Henry's move was unusual, and he did not choose to defend against Henry's attack as he had before.
Instead, he held the greatsword at an angle, the tip resting on the floor, his body hunched over, hiding his entire body behind the sword.
Just as Henry was about to strike the sword, the loyal dog suddenly exerted its strength, and the greatsword began to spin along its spine.
Henry immediately realized that this was no ordinary move; it was another extraordinary one!
As the greatsword spun, a blue gale blew out from its blade.
The light black cedar was blown high backwards by the wind.
Henry's axe strike, like a meteorite falling, was surprisingly neutralized by this clever move!
When the flames burning on the axe were blown out, Henry sensed something was wrong and tried to pull the axe back.
But it was too late.
His axe was pulled by an inexplicable force, flying out of his hand and gliding behind the loyal dog.
Judging from its trajectory, it seems to be about to fall into the sea.
Henry didn't even have time to be surprised before the loyal dog gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.
The giant sword stopped spinning, and the green wind also ceased instantly.
He gripped the hilt of the sword with his right hand, his thumb and forefinger facing outwards, while the other hand was pressed tightly against the guard, pulling the sword down to knee height.
Then, he grabbed the hilt with his left hand and pressed it down, causing the tip of the sword to point towards Henry.
The loyal dog pulled back again, crouched down gently, and looked just like a mad dog with its teeth bared, ready to pounce at any moment!
Oops!
Seeing that things were going badly, Henry quickly turned and retreated.
But he knew it was all in vain.
The loyal dog will surely unleash another extraordinary move, which he, unarmed, will definitely be unable to counter.
Therefore, while he was taking a step back, he was also gathering his strength.
Then, a blue tentacle grew out from his palm.
He controlled the tentacle, sending it hurtling rapidly toward the axe that was moving away from him and about to fall into the sea.
These tentacles were created when he was constructing the magic circle for enchanting; they themselves could not directly affect anything in reality.
Henry had no expectation that he could use it to pull back the axe.
Simply use it to transmit a signal.
The tentacles were incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, they had already touched the axe.
Henry remotely activated another entry, A, within the axe using his tentacles.
comet!
The logging axe began to spin, then returned to Henry's hand along an elliptical trajectory.
The moment Henry gripped the axe, the loyal dog leaped forward.
Gazing at the gaping maw filled with sharp fangs, Henry activated the entry "Star Ring".
Four yellow rings of light encircled Henry, centered on the axe.
The loyal dog thrust its greatsword forward, and each time it passed through a band of light, both its speed and power decreased significantly.
Despite this, the giant sword easily severed all the light bands and continued to advance.
Henry had no choice but to raise his axe to block.
The first word he attributed to the axe was "hard".
However, the loyal dog's attack managed to create a large gash in Henry's axe.
Although Henry was surprised, he at least managed to stop it.
He immediately retreated, but the loyal dog relentlessly pursued him.
Henry glanced at his axe out of the corner of his eye, surprised that his weapon had almost been destroyed by the loyal dog.
Even if it wasn't completely destroyed, the axe's performance must have been greatly reduced.
But it doesn't matter.
His weapons are not limited to this axe.
Henry gathered his power, and blue tentacles grew back.
This time, it spread to the two gold coin ships—
