Chapter 79 - (79) Blade (2/2)

'The best way to kill him would be to let the Boss aggro him and take him out while he's distracted. He's slow, I'll get to the Bosses backside quickly.' Blade thought.

He turned and began to sprint towards the Boss. Blade had barely made it three yards when he noticed the space in front of him distorted. Stopping quickly, he found that a semi-transparent 30-foot wall had appeared, completely blocking his path.

The sudden stop caused Geth to get within four feet of him. Again, another tick of almost 30 damage dropped from his hp.

Blade became angry, he couldn't let this go on. Even with his gear equipped, he had less than 1,000 HP. Thirty more hits like that and he would die, not even knowing where the damage was coming from.

Blade rushed forward with his sword raised high, he was much faster than his current adversary. In a blink, he appeared in front of Geth, a wide and wild grin showing on his face.

'This man must be a mage, he can't even turn his head fast enough to see my movements!' Blade thought. His sword swiftly swung into the man's completely open neck. He began laughing maniacally at this fool who dared to approach him.

It was only a moment later that his laughter was cut short, a lump caught in his throat. The man's eyes were staring straight into his, and he had a wry grin plastered upon his face.

Blade looked back at his sword. He found that where his sword had met the man's skin, a mere scratch had appeared on his neck. Fear made its way to his face as the wound closed faster than he could even jump back.

The strange man spoke as another tick of damage threatened his health points.

”Damn, you really thought you had me huh?”

Geth chased down the man who'd just leaped away from him, casting Barriers to keep him in range of Corruption Aura. Blade was fast.. much faster than Filthy or anyone else he'd come across, but the man lacked power.

'It's like he hasn't added a single Attribute outside of Agility, maybe some Intelligence?' Geth could see the guy's MP but he was moving too fast to read the actual number. It was less than four digits, as was his HP.

He continued trying to stay in range as Blade kept skirting away. Every now and again the man would slip in, deliver a weak blow, and then dash back. His antics were annoying, and Geth was in a hurry.

The Boss was constantly firing spells, shattering the Barriers after a mere few blows. It had to be noted that his Barriers boasted a whopping 676 HP without him having any buffs active.

'I haven't had the opportunity to test my magic resistance against something so powerful. I suppose that I'll find out my limits today.' He thought while taking another of Blades' sword strikes. This one he managed to block with his left hand.

Just when the man's health bar had dropped a bit under 75%, Geth heard an angry yell from behind him.
