154- Showdown 2

Scorching sword slash

Swoosh

The distance between Orochi and Ethan was less than 2 meters and in the blink of an eye, the fire slash was in front of Orochi.

But this time, Orochi was able to dodge without any problem.

30% increase in stats is not a joke, especially when considering the fact that almost all the stats have reached 7000 to 8000.

After dodging, Orochi dashed towards Ethan.

Ethan saw that Orochi dodged his slash, this time he was a little shocked but he made the fourth slash.

Swoosh

As Orochi got closer, the distance between Ethan and himself was closer to 1 meter, so when the 4th fire slash approached, the difficulty to dodge was almost doubled. And it increased Orochis pressure.

Just when he felt that with [Physical Enhancement] his pressure got less, he found that it was just a short term situation.

I guess, I can only activate that ability.

Orochi thought inwardly and quickly activated the Red Lancer Sword ability- Quick sword slash.

Quick Sword slash is an ability that comes with the Red Lancer Sword. This ability doubles the speed of the user for one second at the cost of 1000 MP. And this ability has a cool down period of 10 Hours.

So, this can be considered as one of Orochis hidden cards.

Orochi bought the Red Lancer sword when he was chased by the Bald guy and gang and it cost him more than 1 million Sikka, which is equal to the price of a [Red Grade Level 1] weapon. But the Red lancer swords rank is just a [Normal grade Level 11 weapon].

And it was the Quick sword slash ability with which Orochi was able to stun the Bald guy and cut off his limbs and then he was able to kill him.

When Orochi dodged the fire slash, the direction in which he dodged was to the left of Ethan, and it was the closest unguarded area, so Orochi made the shot.

There are also other reasons for the cutting of Ethans legs.

The first reason being, Ethans sword must of higher grade, at least [Red grade Level 2] or more, so a frontal collision with Ethan is a foolish idea, because Orochis sword the Red Lancer is only a [Normal Grade Level 11] sword, so if it collides with Ethans sword then there is only one result- Red Lancer will break or it will be damaged to a varying degree depending on various factors. So, Orochi will lose his weapon as well as the chance that he got due to activating the special ability of the Read Lancer sword. Now, this is not something Orochi could afford.

The second reason is linked to the first reason, instead of attacking legs, Orochi could have attacked Ethans hands especially the right hand which would decrease Ethans combat capabilities by more than 50%. But if Orochi really tried that, then the chances of cutting Ethans hand are very low. Because, Ethan is holding the sword, so he would be able to at least block the sword even if Orochis speed was great. So, the chance to change the situation would be gone and Orochi would soon be hacked to death.

And even if Orochi was able to cut off any one of Ethans hands, then Ethan must have at least learned some kind of Movement technique, with which Ethan could either escape with his remaining hand or counterattack after he realized that Orochis temporary speed burst was over. So, that would only put Orochi at risk.

The third reason, why Orochi did not attack the chest or back area instead of cutting Ethans leg. The reason is, Orochi felt that any warrior when coming to such dangerous locations as the dark forest would surely prepare many things for safety purposes. So, Ethan must also have armor on his body. So, if Orochi went for Ethans heart or had attacked Ethans chest, then due to the low grade weapon he was holding, he might not be able to pierce through it. Which means he will lose his chance.

And whether Ethan was wearing armor or not, can only be understood from the scene when Orochi attacked Ethans back with the Magic ball.

When the magic ball exploded on Ethans back, although it was also momentary, Orochi was still able to see a purple leather armor that was exposed due to the explosion, and the covering clothes were torn and damaged. So, the purple leather armor saved Ethan from receiving huge damage, or else whether Ethan could keep his body intact is still doubtful.

So, this means Orochi was lucky and smart enough to not have attacked his chest or back area.
