Chapter 736 - Three Moves (1/2)

The Empress suddenly appeared in front of Theo.

Obviously, with her speed, Theo couldn't follow her movement. The next thing he realized, she was already before him.

Theo gritted his teeth and waved his spear to cut her down.

However, the Empress jumped upward and landed on top of his spear. She looked down on Theo and said, ”First of all, the Ascension Step is not an easy ability to master. When you reach the Supreme Rank, you should focus on incorporating the Ascension Step into your own footwork first.

”Take a look at me. If I step on your spear while using the Ascension Step… What do you think will happen?”

”I know. It will knock my spear down and the rest of the wind will pressure me from above, resulting in a two-directional attack.” Theo tried to lift his spear.

”Also, since you have learned the Ascension Step, you need to watch out for your enemies because they will be targeting your legs. This is how dangerous a Divine Ability is. So, make sure you keep this in mind.”

”I understand. I won't be using it in front of other people anymore… I mean, they won't be alive to tell the tale.”

”My point exactly… And this is the first move.” The Empress sighed and said, ”The second move…”

Theo pushed her upward to launch her into the air, but his body suddenly stuck, not able to move anymore.

”Eh?” Theo widened his eyes, wondering why he couldn't move.

”You have been using something similar to me. Launching your ability in succession while incorporating them into your movement… I certainly know what's in your mind. However, there is one thing that you forget about this ability. What do you think is the end goal of this ability?” The Empress landed on the ground and looked Theo in the eyes.

”!!!” Theo widened his eyes, realizing the answer.

The Empress smiled. ”It's to make the enemy not realize that the attack is already in motion. In other words, the goal of having this type of ability is to launch an attack without the enemy's awareness.

”And to do that… you need to mix your own talking skill and whatever it is to cause a distraction to your enemy. At the same time, you also need a certain degree of control to make it possible.

”But still… The biggest factor is none other than Breathing. There are different types of Breathing. For example, assassins usually have a Breathing technique that can't be traced and doesn't release any sound even when you're panting.

”If you incorporate it with your own ability, it can mask your technique, making people focus on your action instead of the movement of Magic Power. Just like this… without you realizing it, your entire body has been frozen.” The Empress explained.

The Wind Emperor obviously knew about this too. After all, the only reason he could knock down Zhilov's father, a Mythical Rank Expert, was due to his Breathing. Without him even realizing it, the Wind Emperor had brought him down.
