#262 - Amadeus's Dark Strike
“Go, Team Japan!”
“Go, Hōōin!”
“Go, Team Switzerland!”
“Go, Amadeus!”
The entire audience erupted in cheers and applause.
The excitement of the match exceeded their expectations.
Every moment was unmissable.
During the match, no one even dared to breathe loudly, so as not to disturb the game.
The match continued.
It was Amadeus's service game.
“Come on, Amadeus!”
Hōōin coldly shouted.
The tennis ball in Amadeus's hand flew into the sky. His knees bent, and the moment the ball fell, his arm disappeared, and then the tennis ball flew out!
Bang! The tennis ball generated a powerful burst of energy the moment it touched the racket.
The tennis ball was like a meteor, speeding towards the opponent's court!
At this moment.
Facing the incoming tennis ball.
Hōōin raised his arm and struck back the moment the tennis ball bounced!
The tennis ball returned to Amadeus's court with great force.
Then, it slammed into the ground and bounced up quickly.
Amadeus narrowed his eyes, raised his arm, and swung his racket at the tennis ball.
The tennis ball produced a faint ripple, with a trail of smoke, and flew out!
The tennis ball slammed into the ground almost instantly.
Hōōin's figure disappeared from the spot, and the next second he had already appeared at the landing point.
The muscles on his arm squirmed, and the moment the tennis ball bounced, he swung his racket hard!
Boom! The tennis ball and racket produced an explosive sound.
Bang! The tennis ball generated a tremendous force in an instant, stirring up ripples in the surrounding air.
The tennis ball flew out like a cannonball with heavy force, leaving a trail of smoke behind!
Amadeus saw a hint of black light flash in his eyes as he watched the incoming tennis ball.
At the moment the tennis ball bounced, Amadeus quickly locked onto Hōōin's blind spot.
He adjusted the angle of his racket and collided with the tennis ball.
The tennis ball's powerful impact and heavy force made Amadeus grunt.
Then, the veins on his arm bulged, and he smashed the tennis ball back the moment it stopped!
Bang! The tennis ball generated a powerful burst of energy the moment it touched the racket, flying out like a sharp blade.
In the blink of an eye, it crashed into the ground and then bounced towards the wall.
“15 - 0!”
Hōōin said in a deep voice.
Instantly.
The court heard the sound of a stormy sea!
As if it were in that environment.
Then, the air pressure began to drop, and the air became thin.
A skeleton pirate captain suddenly appeared behind Hōōin.
The moment he swung his racket, the skeleton pirate captain's rapier also pierced out along with the racket.
“American Pirate!”
With Hōōin's low shout, the skeleton pirate captain and the tennis ball rushed out of the racket together.
At the moment of crossing the net, Amadeus felt the scene in front of him suddenly change.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Amadeus thought to himself: “The American Pirate is stronger than before!”
At this moment, he was on the deck of a pirate ship.
The skeleton pirate captain's rapier directly pierced towards his heart.
Amadeus flashed backward, but the attack did not end.
The skeleton pirate captain's attacks were very sharp, and each time almost forced Amadeus into a dead corner.
Although Amadeus was agile, this was a pirate's deck.
He still had wounds on his body.
“15 - 0!”
“30 - 0!”
“40 - 0!”
“Game, Team Japan, score 2 - 2!”
As the referee's voice sounded, the scene in front of Amadeus changed back.
Amadeus looked at Hōōin with dim eyes.
“Good game.”
Amadeus said lightly: “But let me tell you, what exactly is the decisive gap between you and me!”
“Savor the baptism of a professional player!”
After speaking, Amadeus threw the tennis ball in his hand into the sky, and then quickly swung his racket at the moment the tennis ball fell!
Bang! The tennis ball carried a faint black light, and its figure was erratic.
It was as if it was an illusion, unable to grasp the entity of the tennis ball.
Instantly.
The entire court was in darkness. In the unlit court, they could even see their own figures.
Then.
Only the crisp sound of the tennis ball hitting the ground was heard, and then the figure disappeared again.
When the darkness recovered, the tennis ball was already crashing towards the ground.
“15 - 0!”
The referee's voice sounded.
Instantly.
The audience was silent.
What just happened?
Hōōin stood there blankly. When the tennis ball reappeared, Amadeus had already scored!
“It seems that Amadeus has further expanded his [Darkness].”
Mitsuya Akuto pushed up his glasses and said.
“But this Amadeus's [Darkness] is a bit like Yukimura's deprivation of the five senses.”
Irie Kanata adjusted his glasses and said: “Although they both belong to mental attacks, Amadeus simply makes his opponent see darkness.”
“That's right, [Darkness] can expose weaknesses, but it is also an opportunity.”
Yukimura showed a faint smile on his face and said: “If I were to compete with Amadeus, I would deliberately expose my weaknesses to him and then counterattack.”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
This is indeed a way.
But!
Only Yukimura could do this!
Although everyone nodded at this time, they still felt in their hearts that they could not do such a thing.
“Moreover, it seems that senior Hōōin is also doing something similar.”
Yukimura smiled and said: “He knows his weaknesses now and has not counterattacked, but Hōōin has remembered this weakness. Next time, Amadeus will not be able to succeed.”
“The number of weaknesses that Amadeus can attack will only decrease.”
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
That's right!
Hōōin's weaknesses are not infinite, and he also knows that he cannot counterattack weaknesses.
But Hōōin can remember the multiple points of the ball.
Then, after Amadeus attacks all the weaknesses and scores.
It is the upper limit of Hōōin's weaknesses.
Reaching this point, even Amadeus will not be able to successfully obtain the [Darkness] attack a second time.
But these are all theories.
Only powerhouses like Yukimura, Hōōin, and Onii Jūjirō can possibly do these things.
In reality, there will be more complex processes.
Especially in matches between powerhouses, anything can happen.
On the court.
“Amadeus!”
Hōōin's face became even colder.
Amadeus looked at Hōōin with a solemn expression.
The tennis ball in his hand flew into the air.
Instantly.
The court was completely plunged into darkness.
This was a complete darkness, without a trace of light.
But strangely, everyone could clearly see everything in front of them.
It was as if it were a black and white picture.
