452 Night Raid Part 2 (1/2)

Wild Bear walked up to Saleen's side. He did not have much reverence for mages, so he sat down very close to Saleen.

”I know you.” Wild Bear laughed lightly.

”I know you too.” Saleen laughed too. Wild Bear looked very approachable. Such a huge body, besides his terrifying muscles, he was a nice person to talk to. As long as you did not compete your strength with him.

”Your female bodyguard, I feel like competing with her again.” Wild Bear said solemnly.

”Oh? There's no need to. You improved a lot, but you are still not her match.” Saleen did not beat around the bush, Sika was rewarded some powers of a warrior priestess. To a mage, it might not be powerful, but mental attacks might not be weaker to a mage. Even with the purest strength, Sika would be able to suppress Wild Bear.

If the two of them competed in fighting, with Sika's one mental attack, she could flip the strong man with ease even without a weapon.

”Huh?” Wild Bear was a little disappointed. He never felt that Saleen was lying to him. The Viscountess told him the mage Saleen was someone trustworthy.

”Let's not compare among ourselves. There will be a surprise attack tonight. If you want to compete, see who wipes out more people.”

”You think so too? I feel uneasy, I think that there will be danger.” What Wild Bear said shocked Saleen. This person who only trained his sword aura for a few years had developed telepathy like a swordsmaster had.

That was an extremely sensitive intuition towards danger, Wild Bear could not analyze and judge. He could predict that there would be something happening that night though.

To people that has such power, judgement could be wrong sometimes, but intuition would not be wrong. It was said that when one reached the level of Golden Grand Swordmaster, even during battle, one could avoid vital danger.

It was equal to a mage using the Figaro formula to calculate, but a thousand times that in speed. Such ability was what mages were envious of too.

Saleen absorbed the power from the Goddess Necklace and he could calculate many types of danger, but it was definitely much slower than intuition. During battle, he could only calculate by aiming at subjects.

Such calculation expensed quite a lot of mental power. A normal grand mage would need to meditate for a while before he could recover after one calculation.

Wild Bear's mental power must be very special. If he did not learn sword craft, but practiced magic, he definitely would have great achievements. Fate was something strange. No matter how great a person's talent was, without any opportunity, they would just lived their life and did not achieve anything. If he did not run into Lex and the group, Wild Bear would still be in Holy Rock City as a graceless chef.

He was still a chef, but his rank was different. With Lex backing him up and hiring a teacher to teach him sword craft.

”Mister Saleen, hold on.” Wild Bear suddenly stood and turned to the carriage to get his other weapon. He left it on the floor and sat down next to Saleen again.

It was an extremely long longsword. The blade itself was about three meters long. Even a person who was two meters tall like Wild Bear holding it in his hand looked awkward.

”Single edged cut horse sword!” Saleen saw the long black sword and recognized the weapon.

The Fourth Dynasty once had an army of a hundred soldiers and everyone of them held a single edged cut horse sword. These hundred soldiers were specialized in breaking a strong cavalry's assault. No matter how strong the cavalry was, a hundred brawny warriors holding a single edged cut horse sword standing there could easily block and shatter the cavalry's attack.

Saleen was surprised because the single edged cut horse sword was an ancient item and it was definitely left behind by the Fourth Dynasty.

The weapon weighed about five-hundred pounds and a common person could not even hold it up, let alone wave it around to kill enemies. That was a weapon made of Fallenstar. It was made with secret silver in order to lower the weight.

Wild Bear brought along the weapons and put it by his side, even Saleen felt his mind at rest. No matter what kind of metal or magic shield the enemy was using, before the single edged cut horse sword, they were all joke. A single edged cut horse sword only had one natural attribute, which was to tear. Wild Bear had yet to become a swords master, but he was born with a special power. With such a strong weapon, Saleen reckoned, any magic shield below sorcerer level could be splittered with one charge.

Lex was the luxurious one. If Saleen were to get such a weapon, he would definitely melt it and remake it into other weapons. Fallenstar melted together with any kind of siderite could be made into weapons with the same effects.

He did not know how many weapons Lex had. If she had all hundred of them, it would be a great trick to fight against the cavalry.

The Qin Empire had the heavy blade of a long spear, a heavy infantryman weapons used for attacking cavalry. The heavy blade was only made of steel. There was no magic effect. The value was vastly weaker than single edged cut horse sword.

”Mister Saleen, your skeleton horses, can you give one to me?” Wild Bear chuckled in embarrassment. To ask for this was something embarrassing.

”You mean the skeleton warhorses? Those are the spirits of the dead. You are not a death mage, and you are also not a mage. Even if I give one to you, the skeleton war horse would lose its life very quickly.”

Wild Bear sighed sadly and said, ” You don't know, the sword is even heavier than my hammer. If I were to hold it, I could only walk on my feet, the warhorses would be squashed.”
