Chapter 355 - The Ark Of Versus The Guards (1/2)

She hated people who tried to poke into her personal space, peculiarly someone that was her enemy a few moments ago. She was still on the fence about trusting her so she had kept quiet the whole time.

Rina seemed offended that she was being brushed off but she was reminded of her place by Bryan. She remained silent as the last batch was loaded up. Footsteps of soldiers were thundering throughout the area.

”Alright, time for some action again. Slayer Verna, you can steal the show for this round,” authorized Mavislin, pointing to the opened doorway.

”Don't come back until all threat has been nulled. Got that? You should be able to handle these small amounts,” added the Valkyrie with fierce firmness in her tone.

Bryan nodded and headed out. Like how she had predicted it, Bryan was now facing off with a small handful of soldiers. All of them were half-dressed in armor, making them easy foes. Bryan smiled as he drew his katana out. Only one weapon was needed.

He launched forwards with inhuman speed, noting the fact that he was able to perform easier than normal. His breathing was constant and his movements were more stable and streamline as he sliced off the heads of the guards.

And Mavislin was right, they were such easy opponents. He doesn't need to use any Magecraft. Even a fight against Minwoo was much harder than this. He recalled the times that Minwoo scolded him for having wasted movements when wielding a katana.

And he figured out the reason why Mavislin said breathing played a big part in combat, particularly long battles. This wasn't a long battle but it was a group against one. And he understood why Mavislin had asked him to do it by himself. Somehow, this was quite relaxing.

As he pierced a guard'S ċhėst, Bryan felt something had been lifted off from his ċhėst. He then tried something and placed his foot down firmly onto the ground. By bringing his sword arm to the right, his whole body turned.

And his whole body adjusted to the new movement, causing him to spin momentarily. Like how a ballerina would. This resulted in another guard being sliced. Bryan was intrigued as he tried another move.

This time, he used the wall as support as he jumped from a certain angle to miss the guard's weak spear. The blade stabbed into the tip of the guard's head. Another guard ran towards Bryan, hoping to find an opening since his blade was useless.

Bryan scanned the rea, there were more guards ahead his way. He had already slain about ten of them and it looks like a hundred of them were around him with more to come. He couldn't continue with just his katana anymore.
