Chapter 189 No Turning Back (6)
[Noun] A short, thick stick Usually used to hit people or livestock
This was the dictionary definition of a cudgel The Watchguards paused when they saw the weapon in Specter’s hand
…’</eel all of a sudden?’</e to hit us with that, is he?’</eh they doubted that he would actually do that, their nervousness showed on their faces
uards all turned to look in one direction
“W-what? Why are you looking at est Player in their ranks He felt pressure along with a sense of betrayal as dozens of pairs of eyes stared at hiroup and even considered each other family When Arthur had been captured by fiends, they had even been loyal enough not to hand hiht ere close…!’
But they turned their backs on hiel…
o first’</eest…’</eood example’
Arthur eventually stepped forward as his entire body trembled
Swoosh!+ Swoosh!+ </eel, “Coonna kill me Think of me as your parents’ sworn ene intent?” Arthur asked
“Yeah…”
“Even with your power, isn’t that dangerous?”
“Dangerous? For rinned At his level, he could easily take down the Watchguards with a single chopstick The only reason he had el out of darkness was to fire them up But to think that they orried about him
“Don’t worry about it and just coo slowly”
“It’s fine if you go fast”
Arthur got into position, hesitant Most Players used a physical weapon as their e-dealer, but Arthur didn’t
‘My main skill is telekinesis anyway’
Because of that, he always used a flashy weapon to distract his opponent The more his opponent paid attention to his weapon, the easier it would be for him to use telekinesis
“Here I come!” In an instant, Arthur pulled out his belt
Thwack! </e as his belt transformed into a sword It was a flexible yeon sword made out of steel[1]
“You better be careful!” Arthur called out He took a powerful swing
ht, and flexible Its trajectory was hard to read because even a slight breeze could knock it off-kilter
‘A yeon sword It’s supposed to draw my eyes to it so he can use his telekinesis’
It wasn’t a bad idea, but it was too coy
‘It only onna be some sort of surprise attack’ </e with the yeon sword either
‘It’s too obvious He’ll probably try to ambush me in the middle of the battle with smaller weapons’ </eht now, Specter was playing the role of an eneent
Thwack! </eel As it bent and flew in toward his face, he cut through the blade with his ic-enhanced hand
Slice!
“Wha…!” Taken aback, Arthur tried to retreat to create distance between theel dreift arc and struck his side
“h to knock the breath out of him and make him spit With no other choice, Arthur used his telekinesis as his body flew through the air Four throwing knives shot out fro for Specter’s pressure points
‘Just as I expected’ </ea was finding out your opponent’s skills while not letting your own be discovered
‘But if you just reveal your skill like this…’ </ee to kill theo down
knives using his cudgel like a baseball bat, and they cruround
“10 points for swordplay, 10 points for acting, and 20 points for reaction tih…” Arthur looked frustrated Of course, Specter had been able to handle him that easily because he already knehat his skill was But Arthur already knew that…
ht the fiend pretending to be Mr Jang a few days ago…’ </euard down even when he pulled out his revolver as if he knew Arthur had so else hidden up his sleeve
“What am I supposed to do now?” Arthur asked
“Get up,” Specter replied
Arthur stood up, stu He had only been hit once, but his side still throbbed
‘It didn’t break any bones… So why does it hurt so enerally penetrated through all defenses Specter was reasonable enough to not break any bones, but the daered Obviously, it would take longer for Arthur to recover
“I don’tyou advice here and there, but I can’t do that for the rest of your life” Specter gestured with his finger “You have to find your oeaknesses and fix them All powerful Players must do so”
“I’m still a Ranker…”
“Are Rankers these days this weak? It wasn’t like this back inleft to say He tossed aside his broken sword and took out his revolver “Can I use a gun?”
“You can use a missile if you want”
“Here I coround His movements were flashy as he started to run around Specter The Watchguards watched ide eyes
“He’s fast!”
“You’re telling me this is all thanks to the effects of a week of basic stath has coo so fast”
Their observations were correct Not far off, Arthur hies in his body thesuper fast’
It had only been a week With the use of the expensive potions, he was able to reach this level in a hen it easily should have taken two months
‘All we did was run…’ </e else All they did was run until they threw up, collapsed, and fainted But even with just that, he could feel that he had gotten stronger
Woosh!+
Arthur started to th in his lower body, it wasn’t even hard to change directions
‘If I can move like this…’
He was sure that he’d be able to easily take out most fiends
