"Ultimate·Collapse·Earth Split!"

Marsha swung her heavy hammer and struck the ground, causing a series of impacts on the marble square.

Oh, even though I've seen people attack the ground and create shockwaves before, this is the first time I've seen an attack like this.

It seems like she's directly channeling energy into the ground and unleashing it at an angle?

Interesting!

Arcane·Compression·Imperial Ice Palace!

I plunged my large shield, with a one-meter radius, into the ground, and the final impact hit the shield directly.

A loud sound! The shield was covered in fine cracks.

"Not bad attack power, considering this shield is able to directly block Arcane-level magic. I didn't expect your skill to cause cracks on it."

"Ah, you jerk! There should have only been cracks!"

Marsha charged towards me, carrying her hammer, and stepped on the shield, leaping into the air above me!

Arcane·Ice Mist!

Multiple ice branches instantly extended from the magic circle beside me, and at the top of each ice branch, a series of Ice Flowers burst one after another in the air!

"Ah!"

Marsha screamed and smashed the foremost Ice Flower with her hammer!

"Ultimate Skill·Spin Tornado!"

Then her body spun rapidly in the air, continuously shattering the surrounding Ice Flowers.

But...

This caused the surroundings to be completely enveloped in ice fragments.

"Ultimate Skill·Collapse·Earth Split!"

After the spin ended, Marsha swung her hammer upward, flipped over, and slammed it down!

Boom!

The tremendous impact, perhaps because the energy that penetrated the ground couldn't dissipate, shattered the floor in an instant, turning the previously stony ground into a pit filled with small stones.

Ice fragments and the various substances produced from the crushed stones filled the air, making the visibility suddenly worse.

"Where did you go, you bastard!"

Marsha shouted and swung her hammer, but it was useless because I had long since used acceleration and charge to flee the battlefield.

Watching Marsha from afar, I laughed and directly aimed at her position, summoning two Ice Falls in mid-air and dropping them directly!

"Ultimate Skill·Blue Ocean·Tornadic Fury!!!"

A powerful whirlwind suddenly emerged from the midst of the ice fragments and dust! In an instant, the whirlwind blew away the ice fragments and smoke, and Marsha, wielding her weapon, charged out from within!

But...

The weapon in her hands was no longer a heavy hammer, but a gigantic scythe!

The two sharp blade edges spread to the sides, like the anchor of a ship, but it was a giant double-bladed scythe.

【Gentle Blue Anchor】, huh?

So that's what that title means, but why isn't there any relevant information in the system?

"Ah!"

Marsha swung the scythe while charging towards me! It seemed that after the transformation of her hammer, Marsha had gained even greater control over her weapon!

Does transformation make the weapon lighter?

Enhancement! Tundra Devourer!

Cold air suddenly enveloped Marsha's body, but she only paused for a moment before striking down again!

Clang!

The scythe directly struck my demonic blade, and with a loud sound, even my hand felt numb.

"This power... doesn't match your physique at all."

"Your attack power doesn't match your occupation either!"

"Don't be overwhelmed by too many skills!"

While saying this, I controlled the still descending Ice Falls to change their trajectory and fly towards us.

Then, I leaned to the side, and an ice totem suddenly shot out from behind me, directly colliding with my sword!

The impact made Marsha take two steps back!

"Indeed, it's strange for a mage to use a sword... but do you think this kind of trickery can deceive me?"

Just as the Ice Falls were about to appear above her head, Marsha suddenly swung her scythe upward, and a sword shadow shot up, directly splitting the two Ice Falls into halves!

It's really impressive that a level 35 hammer wielder like you can directly cut through magic like Ice Fall, and not just one but two...

Wait, there's something wrong with the opponent's scythe too. Normal weapons shouldn't be able to cut through magic without being affected by it... Could it be that the opponent's scythe is made of mythril?

And why is the opponent using a scythe when they're clearly a hammer wielder? Could it be that a scythe is also a type of hammer?

"What are you looking at?"

The opponent's scythe once again swept towards me, but I somersaulted and jumped to dodge the attack.

Then I used an ice totem to jump to a higher ground.

"I'm wondering what your weapon is made of. It's clearly a hammer wielder, but you're using a scythe."

"A scythe? Isn't this just a hammer with a blade added?"

"..."

Seeing the puzzled expression on the opponent's face, it seems that what this guy said is true.

"Alright, I understand now. It's not that hard to comprehend after all."

I smiled and waved my hand, countless ice arrows fell like raindrops from above.

But this time, the opponent didn't dodge. Instead, they swung their scythe in place!

"ultimate skill·Blue Sea·Tearing Cyclone!"

Countless wind blades immediately blew the falling ice arrows off course. This guy actually interfered with the trajectory of the magic using their own skills!

Wait, is it because the attacks caused by the ice arrows have physical damage, so they can be interfered with?

"I've already told you that tricks like this won't work on me, right?"

Dodging my attack, the opponent suddenly swung their scythe, and several wind blades came rushing towards me from below.

I smiled and directly pushed myself away from the original position using the ice totem, then pointed downwards. A huge Frost Beam shot down!

You can deflect physical attacks, but can you completely defend against pure magic attacks?

"Enchantmentα·Azure Sky·Magic Defense, quadruple enchantment against magic, activate."

Marsha raised her weapon upward, and four steel branches extended from the sides of the hammer, followed by a gray magic circle appearing at the center of those branches!

This guy's weapon... It's not an ordinary weapon at all!

The Frost Beam landed on the opponent's weapon, but a four-layered aura of enchantment completely nullified my Frost Beam.

Three seconds later, my skill ended, and the opponent was still standing there unscathed.

Then, the opponent restored their weapon to the shape of a scythe and smiled at me.

"How about that! Do you know how amazing I am? I'm the mage's nemesis!"

"Uh... Yeah, I can see that."

I wiped the sweat off my forehead and laughed.

"Fir, can you hear me? I found out about Marsha's weapon. It's called Azure Sky, a weapon against the Legion and magic, with unknown origins. The earliest record was from the fourth member of the true Blue Sea Knights who used this weapon, said to have come from an ancient ruin."

Seeing the message from Dale, I couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Is that so? An ancient ruin? I thought it was a weapon from the Gundam Reaper that somehow crossed over and got modified."

It seems... this battle is definitely not as simple as it seems...
