Chapter 338 - Gigant Master 2 (2/2)

However, despite his nickname—Firestorm—or his unstoppable personality, Belik was very cool-headed in battle.

The most surprising fact was that he was able to read the opponents attacks in advance.

“And just saying, Gigant’s movements are pretty obvious. Unlike the individuals who have different body shapes and muscles, each Gigant is standardized to be the most efficient for combat purposes. The only difference is the thickness of the armor or the output of the core engine.”

In addition, there are limited areas to be hit.

It was easy to understand where the opponents attacks would come at.

‘Right, that was why he was able to counterattack while minimizing the balance.’

If one knew how their opponents attack, there wasn’t much need to move around.

If the movement of a Gigant was reduced, the consumption of aura would be reduced as well, and so the battle could move forward easily.

‘If one is a skilled knight, it won’t be much difficult to understand the opponent’s movements. However, Belik’s sense is definitely higher than the others.’

Belik had a keen sense of computational and analytical thinking. He was more like a wizard than a knight in that sense.

If he walked on the path of magic instead of the sword, he could have become an Archmage who might have made a name for himself in the continent.

“I do acknowledge that you are a great rider, but unfortunately, you met the wrong person.”

Kung!

With horrifying speed, Belik’s sword went for a stab.

A very straight forward attack aimed at the core engine.

However, since the attack was fast and powerful, comparable to an Advanced Sword Master, he had to choose between defense and evasion.

And Luke’s choice was to avoid.

On a hurry to hit, Belik’s huge sword was chasing Luke’s tester like a viper.

Puak!

In that process, the gloves of Luke’s tester were scratched.

“You wanted to avoid me? Surely you knew that it can’t be stopped, right?”

‘Kuek, Blink Dash!’

Rushing offensively to shake of the attacks from Belik, Luke shook his huge sword.

Rather than simply using the sword skill, the left hand of the tester Gigant didn’t hold a huge sword and poured out magical attacks.

Was it because he was anxious?

Belik’s Stiletto was moving constantly.

“That is great. A Sword skill which isn’t normal too will make no difference on me. However…”

Belik, who truly admired him, changed his posture and counterattacked.

“You won’t beat me with this!”

Ka-chang!

Belik’s impact aura’s trajectory covered the air, and at the same time, a sharp bursting sound rang out.

Luke’s tester Gigant, which was cut horizontally, touched the core engine. It glowed and stepped back.

As the sparks glowed between the split up gloves, the faces of Rogers and Philip went blue.

“L-lord!”

“Stop the battle right now!”

If the core engine bursts, Luke’s life would be at stake.

Those who were ready to stop the battle stopped when they heard Luke’s scream through the transmission.

“Don’t enter yet! It isn’t done yet!”

“B-but…”

“The core engine is fine, so don’t worry.”

It was a lie.

However, the balance of the engine was broken, so he couldn’t center it in the right manner.

Even if he tried to manage it, the Gigant tilted to either left or right.

‘It will be impossible to fight this way.’

Just moving a little ahead was turning difficult for Luke. The Gigant was bound to fall with Belik’s next attack.

‘What to do? I won’t be able to win even over a normal rider with this state.’

It was impossible for Luke to admit defeat.

He wouldn’t be able to reason with Belik, and he would have to see his arrogant behavior run out wild.

And on top of that, Luke just had no intention to lose.

‘Belik isn’t a Sword Sage. If I can’t even win over this one, how am I even supposed to defeat Rudolf?!’

Biting his lip, Luke began to manifest magic and rushed straight toward Stiletto.
