Chapter 131: Thousand swords grave
She began to pant heavily, she was almost cremated without a way to resist it.
"You did a good job there. But this isn\'t over yet."
He didn\'t let her to rest even for a second and launched his another attacked.
He dashed towards her and tried to grab her by her neck, which Anna dodged in a nip of time by twisting her body.
She then steadied he sword and engulfed it with her mana and finally attacked Evan with it.
Her attack was fluent and smooth but Evan blocked it easily. He didn\'t even have to raise his sword to block it, her sword couldn\'t penetrate his demonic transformation.
"A nice attack." Evan complimented her.
\'Even though I am giving it my all, she is still doing great.\'
And just as Evan was complimenting her, Anna yelled at him.
"Ahhhh..."
And just the technique that she copied form Evan...
Dragon\'s fury slash.
Her wooden sword was enveloped with the might of a dragon and she used all of her strength to force her sword into Evan\'s skin.
"Nullify."
But the attack disappeared when Evan\'s word fell.
Anna\'s sword returned back to normal and she dashed back.
Evan casually shrugged his shoulder where Anna has just landed her attack and said,
"Hmm, you are improving, but it still doesn\'t feel right."
\'The system said I can get her ability without any limit, so that means her ability is limited, but is copying the attack her limit? Or can\'t she surpass that limit?\'
Evan thought inwardly.
\'Does it require for her to wait till her opponent finishes his attack? Or can she adapt in the middle of the attack?\'
He then take out a sword from his ring and threw it towards Anna.
It was a black blade, with runic patterns and refined intricate designs with a dragon carved at it\'s hilt. It radiated with a eerie miasma, and it\'s edge was sharp enough to cut through any metal of earth like a butter.
\'This sword is at the same level as Celestina\'s spear. I have many weapons powerful than this, but for now this should be enough for her.\'
"Take this sword, it\'s yours from now on. Use it properly, you need it for what\'s about to happen now."
Anna looked at the aiwrd and didn\'t think much about Evan\'s warning. It was the first time she was holding onto a genuine sword.
She couldn\'t take her eyes off of it\'s radiance.
"I am glad that you like the sword, but I am not giving it to you just do you can adore it\'s beauty. I want you to use it wisely, you would need something to protect you right?"
\'This might be a bit overused technique, but it is a good one for now.\'
Then with a swing if his wings, Evan went above the ground and hovered in the air while looking down on Anna.
"Hmm, this might be an overkill actually, but I want you to use your ability to it\'s fullest. Don\'t just focus on imitating, but try to predict what kind of attack your enemy is gonna throw at you and adapt to the attack before it was even launched."
He then gathered his chaos energy around him and created a technique, a common but a fairly efficient technique in the world of cultivation.
"Thousand sword grave."
The moment he said that, thousand swords all fo which were formed from the chaos energy appeared in the sky.
All of their tip pointed at the girl standing infornt of Evan.
When Anna saw those thousand swords in the air, she trembled and gulped down, she really felt scared now.
She could tell that Evan wasn\'t in the mood of playing, she knew he wouldn\'t harm her without a reason but she didn\'t feel that he will back away as well.
"Don\'t worry, I won\'t kill you and I don\'t expect you to avoid all of this in your first try, your stats aren\'t high enough for that, today is just a practice. This is to show you what you need to achieve to have mastery over your ability."
Saying that, Evan began to launch all of his swords at her.
"Use your ability to it\'s fullest, if you don\'t want to hurt yourself."
Anna clenched the sword in her hand. A cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
She could see all of the swords pointing at her.
And before she could react to it, all of them rained down on her.
Anna used her ability to it\'s fullest and tried to see if she could see the trajectory of the swords, her pupils widened and her veins popped up in her head.
Her eyes became teary and turned red as if it was about to bleed.
She used her ability to her limit and when the swords rained down on her, she moved her feet\'s quickly.
Using the movements she copied form Evan, she also bevan to manipulate the air around her and increased her speed.
She slashed her swords to cut the swords that were raining down on her and succeeded in a few.
But she wasn\'t able to parry all the thousand swords and many pierced into her skins.
"Ahhh..."
She yelled horribly feeling the swords piercing her body.
Evan watched her with his emotionless face.
\'This is an illusion too. I can\'t bring myself to hurt her but she needs to feel the pain and not forget it.\'

Thanks for reading everyone.
I know what I did. And don\'t curse at me for that, I wasn\'t feeling too well these days, not that I was sick or anything... I was just feeling down. So much was happening to ruin my mood and I didn\'t even feel like writing anything, so I couldn\'t upload anything. But I am fine now and will upload regularly. To compensate, I will upload more chapters for the next 3 days(as I have day off).
Keep on supporting me guys.
Stay tuned for more...
