Episode 37.6 (2/2)

'Was on floor 42 of Dungeon Tantran.'

'Tritailed Serpent's venom eh? That thing's pretty nasty.'

Naturally, Zoltan must have conquered Dungeon Tantran and got the <3D Perceptions>. He likely knows <Mana Detection> as well.

”<Flame Spear>! <Flame Spear>! <Flame Spear>! <Flame Spear>! <Flame Spear>!”

Lecan retreated further as he kept shooting magic.

Zoltan has <Shadow Blade> skill. This is a skill from their old world. It shoots out invisible blades. Lecan has seen this skill before.

Lecan's barrier disappeared after Zoltan recited the spell <Goar>. What was that anyway.

In his old world's language, <Goar> means <Devour>. Which originally comes from the word <Starve>. Considering <Wind>, and <Blade>, perhaps he should call it <Starve>. Either way, Lecan has no knowledge of any skill that makes use of that bizarre spell.

But there are countless skills outside Lecan's knowledge in his old world. Adventurers don't flaunt their repertoire of abilities, the more unusual, powerful, or special a skill is, the less likely they will disclose it. It won't be surprising if a man of Zoltan's caliber possesses three, four skills Lecan has no idea of.

That skill is probably a skill that devours magic. Zoltan cast <Shadow Blade> to activate Lecan's barrier, then he devoured that barrier and attacked with his magic sword through the crack in the barrier.

A chill ran down Lecan's spine.

Lecan is considered strong in this world thanks to the swordsmanship, stamina and skills he honed in his old world, and with those as a base, the boosts in basic attributes and learning magic.

But his enemy this time is a man who has acquired swordsmanship and skills beyond Lecan in their old world, and amassed even more powers in this world for decades before Lecan.

Lecan hid himself in the end of the left corridor, grabbed one large magic stone from the bag on his waist and absorbed mana off it.

Although Lecan never underestimated him, he always saw Zoltan as an elderly. Somewhere in his heart, he thought 'He's long past his prime as a fighter.'

But that was far from the truth.

He's strong.

Genuinely and legitimately strong.

He's a foe beyond me, thus Lecan admitted Zoltan's strength in his heart.

He could feel a sense of joy welling up from within.

The very first time in this world, an opponent where he must exert every last bit of his strength.

And it's an adventurer from the same world at that.

(Interesting.)

(Ain't this interesting.)

(Getting the chance to have such an interesting fight.)

(This is exactly what it means to be adventurers.)

He no longer gives a lick as to why they're fighting anymore.

Thoughts of what would come after the fight vanished from his head.

He can experience a fight against the toughest opponent he's ever faced in his life to his heart's content and with no one interrupting. Everything else is trivial in the face of that fact.

Lecan's entire being is trembling with euphoria.
