Chapter 50: White Kraft

Chapter 50: White Kraft



The large sword in Kuruma's hand had a slight change in color. A shade of white started to spread from the hilt to the tip of the blade. It was very faint, but still noticeable next to the silver metal.

'During its second phase, Kuruma is able to use Kraft, one of the Three Powers!'

Kuruma's humming intensified as it lifted the sword above its head, preparing to unleash the most destructive attack so far.

Kraft had the ability to coat weapons and objects with a layer of protection that was extremely hard to break through. It also increased the attack prowess vastly.

Kuruma's Kraft was at the lowest level, White, but the difference in attacks between Kraft and without was extremely vast.

After White, the next color would be Black, which would make the weapon even stronger and more durable. Then Purple, then Red, and finally Golden. Once one's Kraft becomes more powerful, the color changes.

In his previous life, Adam managed to reach Purple, which already made his attacks and defense extremely potent. With Purple, he rarely needed to visit a blacksmith to fix his weapons, as his swords and shields didn't receive almost any damage!

'White Kraft is at the lowest rank, but it still can slice through my shield like a hot knife through butter.' Adam lowered his stance, his knees bent, and his grip on the sword tightened.

-

In the control room.

"He has to dodge!" Ron shouted urgently. "If he plans to block the attack fused with White Kraft, the shield will break!"

"However, does he know?" Dakota said with a wry smile. "I didn't mention this part in my class for a reason. They have to learn this the hard way. There are some attacks that you shouldn't try to block."

Muriel nervously looked at the screen as Kuruma was about to launch its attack.

...

Kuruma, with a low growl, swung its enormous sword over its head towards the small human in front of it. While Adam was not short by any means, in front of Kuruma, he looked very small.

'What a powerful attack!' Ramon, standing on the sidelines, instantly felt that this was a different attack from the rest.

His senses were surprising sharp.

Adam quickly leaped backwards out of danger's way. He chose to dodge, much to the relief of many.

"He did it because now the sword cannot be used effectively!" Ron said excitedly. "Usually, the hilt is too small to be easily hit, but Kuruma's sword hilt was longer than most.

"In most cases, Kuruma would've just dodged the attempt on the hilt and blocked the attack with the blade. Now, it couldn't, as the sword was stuck in the ground. Also, because the hilt was made out of wood, it was easily the most vulnerable part of the sword.

"The hilt was the only part Kuruma didn't coat the weapon in White Kraft!"

"It is not wise to coat the hilt with Kraft." Dakota touched her chin thoughtfully. "It makes the weapon hard to grip, and it is easy for the sword to slip out of the grip. That's why none of the mercenaries ever coated their hilts in any Kraft!

"It is literally the only weak spot in Kraft and somehow Adam was able to find it!"

"How the fuck did he do this?" Ron asked with a deep frown, staring at Adam on the screen. "Just who are you?"

...

"Attack!" Adam shouted.

Following that, all the players rushed like frantic animals and started delivering powerful blows across Kuruma's body. It was helpless. It was just standing there, trying to dodge

attacks, but to no avail.

The health dropped drastically.

Soon, the health reached 25%, and Kuruma let out a defeanening roar, surprising players. They realized that something was odd and quickly retreated.

Adam nodded at that. It was wise to retreat if they weren't sure about what was going to happen. To them, Kuruma already became stronger once suddenly, and now it looked like it had another phase in store.

At Kuruma's palm, a flickering fire appeared. It was small and seemingly harmless, but then the flickering fire turned more prominent and burst into a soccer-sized fireball.

'Now, in this phase, Kuruma has the ability of Magick!' Adam thought to himself and had already moved into his position.

"H-hey, I think what is happening!" Seth shouted from the back of the players. "I think it is using Three Powers! First, that must've been Kraft. You saw how its attacks became so much

stronger. Now, it is clearly using Magick!"

'Oh, he noticed it-not bad.' Adam chuckled.

"I think you're right." Donald said with a nod. "Be wary of long-range attacks. I think it can hurl those fireballs at us. Spread around; don't clump together!"
