Chapter 428: Succeeded

The half-orc came at me fast and swung his, lighting with enchantments.

I could feel the skills behind the attack and knew it would be powerful.

His information says he is a classic strength fighter. Quite good at dealing with someone like me, who uses the speed and the light weapon.T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m

Hun!

I moved to dodge the attack but felt the resistance.

My eyes widened in surprise.

I didn't think, the bastard, have such skill. They are rare; it is hard to get them even after reaching Lv. 30.

They are called battle law skills or battle restrictions skills or simply restrictions skills.

He had used a skill like 'No Retreat' on me.

I could resist the skill, but not enough. It will slow me down, allowing him to strike at me.

That would be bad.

So, I did the opposite and swung my sword forward toward the enemy with Blade Of Gale.

The grin on his face widened, seeing that.

He has me, with such a distance, I can not even avoid his ax. I need to clash against it and braced for the powerful impact.

Clang!

I activated the Quick Parry, the moment our weapons clashed and to my surprise, parried his ax.

He seemed to be surprised too, but reacted quickly by retreating, before moving his ax in front of him to defend.

Clang!

He stopped my attack, before attacking me. His attack is faster and stronger than the last time.

There is also heaviness in it, that I didn't sense before.

I countered, using the Blade of Gale.

Clang!

Our weapons clashed, and I felt the power of his attack. He had used that made his attack heavy.

I didn't let the heaviness come at me. It would break my bones, instead used the Quick Parry like earlier to redirect the force.

He tried to stop but failed, and I moved toward him. Like the last time.

He reacted quickly and defended against the attack.

"The information had underestimated you," he said after a moment of silence.

"It always does," I replied.

It does, but this time it didn't. It is kind of accurate; I estimated my strength at the same level as they had said, but now, I am thinking, I might be a little wrong.

"Still, you are weak, and I am going to make you realize it," he said and attacked again.

Hun!

I was hit by the mental skill. Not the one he used last time, but a different one.

Scatterthought or similar, that scatters the thoughts. Distract one from what they were focusing on.

I wanted to laugh.

This is the skill; he shouldn't have used on me. Forget the high mental stats I have. I am using a skill that is the antithesis of what he had used on me.

Focus.

It neutralized the effects of the skill he had used on him.

Clang!

I parried his attack, before going at him, but he was much better prepared and defended quickly before attacking.

He changed his tactics and came from the left.

I didn't move, I just turned and defended against his attack with my rapier.

Snort!

He snorted and attacked again, with his ax being much faster than before.

I used more power of Blade of Gale and defended against it.

Clang Clang Clang!

Our weapons clashed hard and fast. He attacked me from every angle and side with increasing power, but I defended against his attacks without a retreat.

When I first saw his attack, my instinct was to retreat, but here I was fighting without a moving.

At most, I am turning to defend against him.

I am surprised and even shocked, seeing how I am fighting against him.

Forget the injuries. His ax wasn't able to enter my inner range. It was stopped by my rapier every time.

It frustrated him and made him angry before questions rose in his eyes.

"How are you doing this?" he asked, finally. "Skill," I replied, before defending against his attack.

"Die you bastard!" he screamed and attacked back, with all his fury.

I grinned and swung my sword in repones.

Clang!

I stopped his ax and parried it despite his efforts, before moving to attack.

Rip Rip

He responded immediately, and his ax cut through my stomach, while my rapier gave him a cut across his army.

The battle became bloodier after that as we started trading injuries to finish off each other.

Injuries begin to appear in every part of us. Arms, legs, chest, back, except for head every part of us had become bloody, but it didn't stop us.

It made the battle even more intense.

"I have to say, you are quite strong, but you will lose this battle. As you can see my injuries are healing, but yours aren't," he said and attacked.

He is right about that. His injuries are healing, mine are not.

Healing skills are really rare; in my army of over fifty thousand, only two people have healing skills.

"We will see about that," I replied as I defended against his attack and moved at him, getting a cut on my chest, while giving another cut on his clavicle.

He attacked again, going for my chest, with enchantment blazing.

I swung my sword to counter.

There is nothing special about it. It looked like, hundreds I had tried before, but the enemy was alert as always, to defend against my tricks.

There were no tricks this time, till our weapons were inches away from each other.

When I activated, my second offensive skill.

Clang!

Our swords clashed, as always, but this time, his eyes widened in a big surprise.

I used Mauling Strike, which I have been saving, till now.

I have a few offensive skills. Three to be exact, four if I count the Sharpness. Of the three, Consecutive Strike is nearly useless; that leaves Blade of Gale and Mauling Strike.

I wanted to use it earlier, but I didn't, because it was the only thing, that would give me a chance to kill the enemy.

The enemy was surprised, by Mauling Strike. It sent his ax away, further than he liked.

Seeing that, I smiled and blasted him with the full power of the Lord's Presence and moved forward with every bit of power, I could harness from the Blitz Steps, before attacking him.

His eyes widened in alarm as he tried to retreat and bring his ax forward to defend, but he was slower.

The earlier attack had provided me with a precious fraction of seconds, and I was going to use them.

My rapier reached his chest, and its enchantments flared as it reached his chest.

There used to be a chest place, the enchanted one, but I had broken its straps, making it hang around his stomach.

Puch!

He looked at me in horror as my rapier touched his chest, before piercing inside smoothly and tearing his heart apart.

"No!" he screamed, while I moved, dodging his ax.

Rip!

Though not completely. It had given quite a big cut across my back.

I stopped and looked at him, taking a step toward me, before stopping as the light in his eyes began to disappear.

Even skill can't heal the torn heart.

Pachack!

Seeing that, I felt relieved, but the next moment. I decapitated the body; I didn't want him to rise as the undead in the battle.

As I did with it. I quickly took out the healing potions and spread them across my injuries before dealing with one.

Hun!

I had just finished dealing with injuries and was about to move toward the undead when I felt all the hair rise across my body.

I quickly turned and saw three Magic Bolts coming toward me.

Rip Rip Rip!

I reacted immediately and swung my rapier toward them, cutting three of them.

It immediately broke their structure and turned them into energy.

The mages. I don't like them. I had trained against them, but I rather not fight against them.

Thankfully, the mage who attacked me was already fighting against our mage and used a moment of distraction to attack me.

I looked at him, before moving toward the undead, when I nearly stopped.

There is a message from Valentina. Message I have been waiting desperately for.

It had the words I wanted to hear.

She had succeeded.
