Chapter 127: Battle of Savage Dog and Spike!

(TN: Savage Dog is Cu Chulainn nickname)

"Take this!" As soon as the words were spoken, C Chulainn didn't give Spike any chance to react and launched a fierce attack! A chilling radiance preceded the thrust, followed by a spear that shot out like a dragon! C Chulainn's speed was incredibly swift, living up to the name of "C Chulainn's Hound." Any servant facing him would surely be amazed by his sharp speed.

But... in Spike's eyes, C Chulainn's speed was nothing extraordinary. The speed at which an ordinary person moved was the same speed at which C Chulainn moved in Spike's eyes. There was no difference at all. However, even so, Spike didn't become overconfident.

You see, it had just witnessed C Chulainn's spear thrusting into the ground, and although it didn't break the surface, it still produced sparks! If an attack like that landed on Spike, it would definitely remove its dog fur. Just the thought of having a bald patch abruptly appearing in its perfect coat of fur made Spike shudder. How ugly would that be? Its owner might even start to dislike it.

And being disliked would be the least of Spike's worries. What it feared the most was being mistaken for a mad dog and sent to a center for handling aggressive canines. Its entire dog life would be entrusted to this blue figure standing right in front of it!

Spike wouldn't accept such a fate, no matter what!

Facing C Chulainn's fierce attack aimed at its abdomen, Spike's eyes narrowed. Suddenly, two barely transparent black screens swiftly slid into place above and below, and the narrative in the novel provided a close-up shot of Spike's face.

Not only did the narrative provide this close-up shot, even C Chulainn, who was launching the attack on Spike, saw this black screen. This sudden black screen completely obstructed C Chulainn's line of sight, causing him to be momentarily bewildered. "What kind of Magecraft is this?!"Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

The black screens came and went quickly. Spike closed its eyes, and when it opened them again, the screens had completely disappeared. C Chulainn began to doubt whether there was something wrong with his eyes.

Once the screens vanished, Spike had already assumed a posture of standing straight and covering its head with both hands. Seeing that Spike had just used a visual obstruction "Magecraft" and made no move, instead standing there to take the hit, C Chulainn couldn't help but find it amusing. But since Spike was intentionally seeking trouble, C Chulainn naturally wouldn't waste the opportunity.

Spike, still covering its head with both hands and ready to dodge C Chulainn's next attack, nodded in response. After giving it some thought, Spike wondered if this human had poor eyesight. Was it really so difficult to see that Spike was just a dog?

"I don't think you're a dog!"

C Chulainn couldn't believe it. How could this dog dodge like that? He raised his crimson spear once again and launched more than ten consecutive thrusts, twirling the long spear in a whip-like motion. However, the same situation repeated itself.

Spike began twisting its waist while covering the back of its head, displaying a complete "twist and dance" posture.

"Damn it... You must be a dog!" C Chulainn's frustration grew as his countless attacks were once again evaded.

"???"

Upon hearing C Chulainn finally acknowledging that it was a dog, Spike couldn't seem to feel happy. Although C Chulainn did call it a dog, Spike couldn't help but feel that C Chulainn was scolding it, even though there was no evidence to support that assumption.

"I'm going to thrust!" Finally, C Chulainn completely changed his approach. Since straightforward attacks weren't working, he had to resort to a more cunning method. He thrust forward, but in the instant before the strike, he changed it to a sweeping attack targeting Spike's waist.

At that moment, Spike, upon hearing C Chulainn say, "I'm going to thrust!" immediately began twisting its waist. However, C Chulainn suddenly changed the thrust into a sweeping attack.

Even though Spike was skilled at dodging, it couldn't avoid this strike. The blade of the spear smoothly swept across Spike's waist. Watching the blade pass through Spike's body, C Chulainn muttered with some anticipation, "Did I succeed...?"
