Episode 7.17 (2/2)

Lecan swings down his trusty sword.

His sword was about to strike the Great Ogre's nape from the left side, but this isn't an attack to cut its head. Using the recoil from the blow, Lecan soared up in the air, while the Great Ogre kept charging ahead, and plunged into the wall at the opposite side.

Lecan faced off against the Great Ogre from 15 steps away. Both are regulating their breathing. They're taking a breather so that they both can unleash their finishers on each other. In order to prove their superiority.

Lecan was remorseful. He should have equipped <Guardian Gem of Zana>. Nothing can be done about that now. There's no way this tough foe would just watch as he took the Guardian Gem out of <Storage> with one hand and then put it on his neck. His head would soon separate from his body were he let off even for an instant. A mere 15 steps distance is basically nothing.

Then Lecan noticed something. The left side of his overcoat has no holes. The Great Ogre grabbed and pulled this spot hard earlier. Yet there's no holes on it.

In other words, those fingernails do not posses that crazy power all the time. It probably would only exhibit its power when the Great Ogre willed for it. Which means that it must be some kind of skill.

--Hold on. I've got skills too. An extremely useful one.

Lecan took a stance with both hands gripping his sword, and clearly chanted a spell while vigilantly glaring at the enemy.

”<Move (Trimul)>”

<Guardian Gem of Zana> was taken out of <Storage> through <Move> and got put inside Lecan's black shirt's pocket.

The Great Ogre slightly squinted its eyes while continuing to observe Lecan. Lecan had cast a spell using an extremely miniscule amount of mana, however, there's no way for the Great Ogre to knows what kind of magic it was. The Great Ogre is gathering its energy while staring at Lecan. It's preparing for a powerful move. Putting everything it has into the strongest move this magic beast could muster up.

”<Move>”

Lecan chanted the spell once again. This one's to close his pocket.

He feels zero difference from before. However, the effect <Guardian Gem of Zana> possesses has surely raised Lecan's attack power now.

The Great Ogre charged forward.

Lecan also rushed ahead to clash with it.

The Great Ogre raised both its arms high. All its fingers are curved like talons. Those ten fingers must hold enough power to easily cut steel right now.

Lecan made no attempt to escape right or left.

He swung down his trusty sword with all his weight behind it toward the charging Great Ogre from above.

Several things occurred in that instance.

Lecan's trusty sword cut off the Great Ogre's horns, down its face and reaching into its mouth.

And then it broke in half.

By some sort of tenacity, the claws Great Ogre had swung downward were still coming for Lecan from both sides.

As he fell backward pressed by the Great Ogre who kept charging ahead even while dying, Lecan realized his impending death as he felt the ogre's claws digging into his neck.
