Chapter 239 (2/2)

It was a breathtaking scene.

Reina stopped speaking.

Her emotions were so strong that the rocks, trees and the winds, which were acting like her escorts, moved recklessly. As Reina felt overwhelmed, she gradually began to lose her power and all the beings went back to normal.

It was only Luke that remained the same, which what he saw.

“Lev? Aren’t you the one that’s called God’s warrior in the rumors?” Asked Gregory.

“I am the one who stopped the falling meteor.”

Luke pulled out his sword without even realizing it.

Arch Duke Gregory’s eyes, which was flashing with a golden aura, narrowed.

“I will test to see if you really are God’s warrior. If you aren’t ready to come out, then step back,” said Gregory.

Luke didn’t answer immediately. Reina was right behind him, holding his sleeve and shaking her head.

No matter what, he seemed like the kind of person who no one should even think about retreating from.

Luke nodded, trying to tell her that it would be okay. He slowly approached Arch Duke Gregory, which was engulfed with his aura.

“I don’t mind taking up the test.”

“You are brave. I’ll be the one to take the first strike.”

The moment he was done speaking, Gregory rushed toward Luke.

The attack was simple and straightforward, yet it wasn’t a move that one could just brush off.

Slash!

The Arch Duke’s attack hit Luke’s nape then blood came out of it.

“Kyak!”

Reina, who was about to run over to Luke, stopped when she saw his hand signaling her to stay where she was.

Reina tried to calm herself.

While looking at the blood on the tip of his knife, the Arch Duke frowned.

It wasn’t because he got his opponent in such a short time.

Originally, he was aiming for the heart and not the nape. However, for some reason, he missed.

There was a reason.

Luke’s sword made sure to divert the incoming sword over his shoulders.

‘To think about avoiding the attack in such a manner!’

It was unbelievable how he pulled that off.

He was already convinced after seeing the unusual golden aura that his opponent would be good, but he was showing unexpected skills.

“Would this much be enough for a warm-up?”

At the question from Luke, Gregory just nodded his head.

Gregory changed his stance to a more aggressive one and pointed his sword toward Luke with a more serious expression.

“This time, it will go through you,” warned Arch Duke Gregory.

The moment he was done speaking, terrifying attacks kept coming in from the Sword Sage.

Luke was taking in the attacks one after the other. The Arch Duke’s attacks now couldn’t be compared to the attack he did earlier.

It was just the beginning, and Luke had to overcome it, no matter what.
