Chapter 390 - The Gorgos 1 (1/2)

‘No!’

Arsene, who believed in his thick defense and was preparing for the counterattack, was surprised when he saw that Luke’s attack was much stronger and sharper than expected.

When Luke seemed like he was about to slash through the last line of the shield, he hurriedly used Blink to escape from there.

If the deployment of Blink was even a little late, Arsene’s head would have been blown once again.

“Kuek. How can. You. Have. Gold. Sword…?”

Arsene had already understood the output of Luke’s Gigant.

Although he was the man who had stolen the Ancient dark magic book after Saymon’s death, he was still the father of Magic Engineering.

By just listening to the noise from the core engine, he was able to know the approximate power.

‘It was made well, at best, a warrior class. Even if the aura had been amplified by the core engine, a warrior class shouldn’t be able to break through my shield…’

He became flustered when he saw the other sword in Luke’s hand.

It was the Demon Slayer sword that Luke had been holding onto a while back.

‘Kuek, it is a weapon which strengthens the gold aura by combining the magic sword with the Gigant’s sword using Magnetic magic.’

Although it was a temporary solution, it was almost impossible for an individual to use such a skill when the situation was so critical.

It was only possible if one had enormous combat sense and magic awareness.

‘Just as I thought, he isn’t a normal human being. He won’t be doing any good to me by staying alive.’

Just as much as Arsene felt threatened, Luke was regretting how he had missed the attack.

‘Dammit, if only the output of this tester was a little higher…’

However, his regret wasn’t about not being able to make a Hero class Gigant. It was just that even with its current abilities, the tester should have taken the right strike.

Luke, who felt sad, rushed toward Arsene, wielding the huge sword.

At the storming attacks of Gold Sword which came at him, Arsene avoided the attacks by using Blink one after the other.

“Surely. The kid. Of Rakan. However. You. Still. Aren’t. Worth. A palm. Of my. Hand.”

“Huh, what else do you have?”

“Kuk. Kul. Kul. Nothing. Much. Just. Something. That. I have. Prepared a. lot. Time. Back.”

‘Prepared?’

Arsene pointed at Luke and began to gather magic.

When a sinister red flash appeared, Luke could feel a stinging pain in his chest.

It was something that he had forgotten for a while… No, it was the dark curse, which was on his body since birth.

‘Keuk, Did he do this?!’

“Die. And. Become. My. Slave!”

In the gap where Luke was in pain, Arsene used dark magic.

The dark magic, which came out of his body, turned into dozens of spears, and came at Luke’s tester.

‘Kulkulkul, if you get hit by my Dark Javelin, you are good as gone… No!’

Kakang!

Luke’s tester was supposed to be down in the blink of an eye.

But, he used the gold aura onto the tester glove and bounced off the incoming Dark Javelin.

However, that wasn’t the end.

Luke, who used Blink, rushed over toward Arsene and wielded his Gigant’s sword.

Slash!

Arsene did try to avoid the attack, but his right arm had been cut off.

“This. This makes. No. sense!”

Arsene was clearly lost.

His right arm could come back again. However, he had trouble understanding what had happened.

‘Why didn’t the curse work?’

Because the young man in front of him should have died already before even turning into an adult, he thought that he could use his hands and speed up the process.

However, he never thought that the curse wouldn’t trigger even after starting it.

It would have been very natural for his heart to stop.

However, there was a reason.

‘Thanks to Reina, I passed over that crisis.’

Luke placed his hands on the locket that he always carried around.
