Chapter 113: To Learn From An Opponent



The supply of necessities was typically handled after a guild had cleared the area of surrounding monsters and secured the perimeter.

It was done this way because, if they were attacked by a sudden influx of monsters while still in the process of offloading their transport from the aircraft, they would risk losing valuable supplies and potentially face greater casualties.

So, it was decided that the pickup team would arrive with their supplies after the area had been cleared, ensuring a safe environment to offload supplies and harvest resources with a lower risk of monster attacks.

Ren placed his hand under his jaw thoughtfully. "I'm not sure if I noticed a larger truck out there. I was focused on the livestream, so I didn't really check."

Kaida let out a long sigh. "I'll have to check it out myself then." She glanced to her side and saw Alister, still fast asleep. She tapped his shoulder gently. "Alister, wake up. It's time to eat."

No response. A moment of silence passed as everyone stared at Alister.

Kaida tapped his shoulder again, this time with more force. "Rise and shine!"

Still no response. Razogrin raised an eyebrow. "Is he dead?"

Hiroshi whipped his head towards Razogrin. "I know you don't like the kid, but you don't have to wish him death."

Razogrin shrugged, his shoulders rising slightly. "It was just a question. Don't make such a fuss over it."Thê source of this conte/nt n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

Before Hiroshi could respond, Ren spoke up. "He's alright. His suit is still displaying his life signals."

"He must just be exhausted, that's all."

Goro pointed at Alister. "Should we leave him here to go eat then?"

Ren shook his head. "No, it's best to have him at our side. We don't know what surprises the wasteland might throw our way."

Kaida crossed her arms. "Nice and all, but who's gonna carry him?"

Razogrin, Goro, Hiroshi, and Rex exchanged a quick glance.

Ren adjusted his glasses. "Razogrin will do it."

Razogrin scoffed. "Hell no. Unless you want to hear he accidentally slipped and land on the floor with his back."

Kaelan's muscles strained as he blocked and parried, his movements growing increasingly desperate.

'He's more experienced with a sword than I am. If things keep going like this, he'll overpower me eventually.'

They circled each other, their swords clashing again and again, the sound of metal on metal ringing out across the battlefield.

Each step they took sent clouds of dust billowing into the air, their feet leaving deep imprints in the bloodstained earth. Lightning crackled around them, the energy from their blades sparking against the ground and vibrating the air with power.

Kaelan's breathing was ragged, his muscles burning from the effort of keeping up with Alexei's attacks. He tried to find an opening, any gap in Alexei's defenses, but the dragon knight was like a force of nature.

Alexei's sword came down in a powerful overhead strike, and Kaelan barely had time to raise his own blade to block it. The impact forced him down to one knee, his arms trembling under

the pressure.

"What's wrong, Kaelan?"

"I thought you wanted to teach me a lesson?"

"Is this all an Overlord's sword can manage? Pathetic."

Kaelan grunted, his teeth clenched as he fought to push back. But Alexei's strength was overwhelming, and Kaelan could feel his own power waning.

'Come on, Alister, think. There must be something he's doing that I'm not doing... Because this body is a lot more powerful than I'm used to, I can't properly control my attacks without

wasting energy.'

'I have to change that somehow.'

Kaelan's purple eyes became more focused as he gazed at Alexei, as if trying to learn

something.

Alexei felt something was off, so he twisted his blade, forcing Kaelan's sword to the side and

leaving him open.

Without pausing, Alexei's fist shot forward, slamming into Kaelan's chest with the force of a sledgehammer. Kaelan was thrown back, his body tumbling through the air before crashing into the ground. He skidded to a halt, dust and dirt clinging to his armor as he struggled to

rise.
