26 Chapter 26: Fight Against Alaster 3/3 (1/2)
Ned wasn't really surprised that the old man took his attack easily, if such a monster was hurt by an attack like that, then that would be something to be surprised at.
He was sure that he can even take his attack without the battle force s.h.i.+elding him. It was probably that the old man didn't want his clothes to get torn. Such was the strength of a swordsman that cultivated his strength over his agility.
Even though he cultivated str over agi, it doesn't mean his agi is nonexistent. And the same would be said for a rogue that cultivated his agi, his strength would also be up to some point.
The old man this time took the initiative and attacked him.
Ned was eying the old man when suddenly he appeared behind him, it was a good thing he had the map, otherwise he would notice Alaster much later.
Ned started turning, and now he had his s.h.i.+eld strapped to his left gauntlet, that he used to guard against the wooden sword. Once they made contact, he was thrown away by the sheer strength of the old man's swing.
Getting up from the ground, he wiped the blood trickling from his mouth while grinning with excitement at the old man.
He knew that even though the old man didn't focus on his speed on his path of cultivation, he was still much faster than Ned currently, and he would probably be until rank 6~7.
However that would be without Ned using his movement technique. Aside from the three steps, it's pa.s.sive effect alone could increase his speed, but that wouldn't be enough.
Against the old man he would need to use the first step. It was a shame that he still couldn't use the second step.
He crouched on the ground for a bit, and pressed as hard as he can, after which he vanished, and appeared in front of the old man and swung his daggers.

Alaster seeing this was surprised this time. He knew that Ned used some movement technique, but for him to not be able to follow his movements, he was genuinely perplexed. As he had never known of such movement technique. He was at the top of the world, and would be able to follow even a rank 7 rogue with ease.
But it was still easy to intercept his attacks. And he did after which he said to Ned, ”You should start attacking with everything you have my boy”
