Episode 37.11-12 (1/2)

Lecan went in the crossroad through the right corridor and turned left.

Zoltan is standing 100 steps ahead of him.

Lecan's blood is seething.

He's never been in a fight where he keeps his fighting spirit flame burning at peak intensity this long. But it's not pain he's feeling. It's joy. His feeling of wanting to end this fight right away is mirrored with the feeling of wanting to keep this fight going on forever.

Lecan stepped toward his foe as his boots made rock hitting sounds.

Without a shadow of doubt, this man is his life's greatest adversary yet.

Zoltan has his usual magic sword in his right hand and a shield on his left. By a strange twist of fate, they ended up choosing the same equipment.

Lecan's breath is fiery. Like it's burning.

He grits his teeth to pin down his fighting spirit trying to escape out of his body. This is yet time to unleash it.

Zoltan lurched his neck to the right. Lecan saw that gesture as him saying, 'Let's end this with the next one.'

Lecan let out a subdued breath. His reply, 'That's the plan.'

Zoltan's expression had an abrupt change.

He opened both his eyes wide.

His usual buoyant aura vanished, replaced with a demonic face. Ghastly bloodlust overflowed out of his entire being. The bloodlust blew against Lecan like a storm.

Lecan was scared.

Which then turned into euphoria welling up from within.

The last time he felt fear to the point of wanting to run away was in his youth.

He will soon exchange blows with a foe capable of instilling him with fear.

The two adventurers take a step forward at the exact moment like they were in complete sync, then another, and lastly the third step which broke into a charge.

Had there been spectators in this fight, none of them would be able to catch these two's figures in this instance. Their speed was such that it's just not doable.

Lecan charged straight at Zoltan.

Zoltan charged straight at Lecan.

The distance between two became zero in an instant as two storms clashed against one another.

Zoltan swung down the magic sword in his right hand as that clash erupted.

Against that, Lecan pulled away the <Comet Cutter> he had raised.

Zoltan's magic sword that should have hit <Comet Cutter> got stopped by Lecan's necklace's barrier, creating a bluish light outline mid air.

Lecan had wildly swung the shield on his left hand toward Zoltan the moment Zoltan raised his magic sword overhead.

Zoltan attempted to stop it with the shield on his left hand.

Up until this point, Zoltan had demonstrated how much his strength and burst of power outclassed Lecan. Which is why Zoltan must think that his imperfect stance would be more than enough to stop Lecan's shield.

However, the shield Lecan swung beat down Zoltan's shield, sending it flying into pieces.

By way of <Guardian Jewel of Zana>'s Grace.

In its current full mana state, any kind of weapon no matter if it's a club or a shield, gets an enormous boost in physical power just once.

Even Zoltan was taken aback at this and greatly lost his balance. His left hand got blown away backward, his legs also almost gave out.

Lecan gulped down a large blue potion he had in his mouth.

Zoltan swung his magic sword ignoring his balance loss. It was going to cut off Lecan's left wrist. Due to Lecan swinging his shield greatly, his left hand had come out of the necklace barrier's area of effect. Zoltan has fully grasped the barrier's range from all their previous clashes.

Lecan swiftly pulled his left hand, but he failed to completely dodge the swing as the magic sword hit his shield. The shield instantly broke into pieces.

”<Fire Arrow>!”

”<Blade>!”

The two recited spells at the same time.
