Chapter 413: Amon’s Growth

Chapter 413: Amon’s Growth

His opponent was smoke.

Amons sword sliced air.

Parin!

Immediately, Amons chest armor was shattered.

Ryos special was shattered in one blow.

Laminated Ice Armor 30 Layers.

He instantly recast the ice armor.

He had accounted for the possibility that it would be broken in one blow.

Even though the opponent was different from Michael (pseudonym), they were still a being who claimed to be an angel.

Even if that was not their main body, they should be considered to have the greatest attack power possible.

Hmm even though its within expectations, a single blow is still

Even though he expected it, he still felt frustrated.

Niels answered Ryos murmur.

As expected, the opponent this round is so different from what he is used to.

Amons movements also showed that he was quite confused.

Ryos ice armor being broken with a single blow was something he had never experienced before.

But now that weve sent him out, we have no choice but to watch over him.

Etho declared.

It seemed that Etho, who is a priest, was mentally stronger than the swordsman or magician.

I know. I know Amon is at least more talented with a sword than I am. He might even reach the level of His Majesty Abel someday.

Ryo was surprised by Niels words.

To Niels, Abels swordsmanship is synonymous with God.

The fact that he recognizes that Amon may reach that level someday can be considered the highest evaluation.

But hes only 19 years old I think he should have had more time to slowly gain experience

Niels ended his statement weakly.

Of course, he understood it in his head.

It was too late now.

So he didnt complete his sentence.

Its okay. Unless its instant death, Ill save him.

Etho declared powerfully.

His heart is protected by Ryos ice. So it will be okay.

Etho insisted strongly again.

Ryo nodded at that.

Bakki.

Amons chest armor cracked again.

However, it was not penetrated.

It stopped at two-thirds.

It seemed that increasing the 20 layers to 30 layers had some effect.

Second reconstruction.

Bakki.

Third reconstruction.

Bakki.

Fourth reconstruction.

.

The ice armor cracked, and each time Ryo reapplied it.

That was repeated over and over again.

Niels was watching with an anxious expression on his face.

Etho stood firm and watched.

Ryo he noticed something as he was reapplying the armor.

Little by little, the duration between reconstructions is widening.

Yes, the interval between reconstructions was increasing.

In other words, it was becoming harder to break.

That was proof that Amon was getting used to it little by little.

Kakin.

Additionally, from time to time, they could hear the high-pitched metallic sound of hard objects striking each other.

One is probably Amons sword.

Then what about the other object?

It was probably smoke that had solidified

Sword Saint

A Sword Saint is truly the highest-ranking swordsman.

Theres not always one, and its not something that someone formally decides and recognizes.

It is an existence that many swordsmen in the world naturally recognize as the strongest.

Currently, there is nobody called the Sword Saint in the Central Countries.

No, to be exact, theyre not currently active.

They have already retired from the front lines

A being beyond human capabilities be it power, speed, or something else only someone at that level can even think of trying to break his defense.

That strong

Etho was surprised by Niels words.

And he thanked God.

Now, at this party, there were people like Ryo and Amon.

Meanwhile, the battle between Amon and Spirit Smoke continued.

However, it was clear that things were different from when the battle started.

It was Amons movements.

His legs were moving.

In short, the situation had evolved to where he had gone from trying to survive with minimal movement to counterattacking.

At that time, he began to utilize footwork to close the distance at once.

All because he got used to the smokes movements.

If you think about it normally, I dont think that smokeman expected their situation to gradually get worse.

I agree.

Niels nodded in agreement with Ryos words.

The Spirit Smoke would also understand that although they started with an overwhelming advantage, they had now been forced into a situation where they were at a disadvantage.

Naturally, to overcome that situation, they would typically make a move to reverse the flow of battle

But if they dont make such a move?

Then it would be something abnormal.

Whats abnormal?

As far as he could see, there wasnt anything being done.

If thats the case, he had no choice but to believe that there was something abnormal happening that was invisible to the naked eye.

And eventually

Here!

Zaku.

Amons sword pierced something that wasnt smoke.

At that moment, the something that was pierced became covered in ice.

Eh

An exclamation of surprise escaped Amons mouth.

The moment the ice covered what looked like the heart of the Spirit Smoke, the smoke dispersed.

Excellent work, Amon.

Ryo clapped.

Well done!

Niels also applauded.

Are you hurt?

Etho, being a priest, was worried about Amons health.

Ah, yes, Im okay.

Amon answered Ethos question for now.

Then he looked at the piece of ice that slipped off his sword to the ground.

This is Ryo-sans ice?

Yes, thats right. Thats what I drew on the sword with a magic formula earlier, activated if Amons sword catches something that might be the core of the smokeman. As expected of Amon, you did a good job piercing it.

Ah, yes, thank you very much!

At this point, Amon finally showed a bright smile.

However, Etho noticed something strange.

Huh? But Amons sword doesnt have any magic stones attached to it, right? Where did the magic power that activated the magic formula come from?

Just as Id expect from Etho. Youre great at knowing what to look out for! Thats from the magic line connected to me.

Magic line

Yeah. Though its invisible.

Ryo nodded many times and answered happily.

As if a novelist satisfied to know that there are readers who have noticed hidden elements in the novels he wrote

Well, whatever it is, Im glad we were able to defeat it safely.

Niels said the most sensible thing and the battle in the western atrium ended with Amons victory.
