Chapter 269 - The Power Of Experimentation (1/2)

The weapons that Giel chose and that were in the stands could be considered ”Catalysts.” Rare metals, minerals, and monster parts were used to create these weapons. They could conduct mana through them, but that did not negate their strength and sharpness.

If someone gives an ordinary human and a mage each a weapon of rank zero, of course, the mage was much stronger. He would cast a spell along with the Catalyst and overpower the ordinary human. However, if you arm one person with a simple steel sword and the other with a sword made of parts of a monster of rank zero, the result would be obvious. The second man's weapon would easily destroy the first man's sword.

Evan didn't ask any questions. He did not believe that an ordinary man could even wound a monster, it was something unreal to him.

The Ice Mutant attacked. First, he ran toward Giel and swung his clawed paws at him, but Giel was utterly calm.

He gripped the shield tighter and waited for the right moment to throw it in the monster's direction. The shield was a strange, triangular shape with deep gouges. It was similar to a shuriken, which only made it more deadly in flight. Giel wasn't going to use the shield for protection, he was going to inflict a serious wound on the monster with it.

Whoooosh.

The shield instantly reached the monster and easily severed its arm. Giel aimed for the shoulder and hit exactly where he wanted. The monster had not expected such a turn of events, it thought it was a harmless victim, but suddenly it was he who received the first wound.

Crimson blood gushed from the wide wound, but the Ice Mutant stepped aside and froze the bleeding wound with his icy breath.

”He was able to throw a shield at that speed, I'm sure that shield weighs a lot, that power is abnormal for a mere human.” Commented Evan on what happened.

”Yes, but it's too early to conclude. Giel hasn't won yet, the Ice Mutant could well crush him to pieces, just a few hits with those ice claws will suffice.” Rave muttered.

He watched their battle closely. This experiment was one of the most interesting he'd done so far. Rave was delighted with the results obtained in such a short time.

The fight continued with Giel tearing toward the monster. There was no fear in his eyes, only confidence, and strength. He knew that his weapons could kill this monster, and his speed was enough to dodge all attacks.

The Ice Mutant ran at Giel in response. When the monster got close enough to Giel, it swung its claws horizontally.

Giel reacted quickly and made a roll, and slid right under the monster's claws. The next moment he quickly got to his feet and swung his sword to cut the Ice Mutant's left leg off at the knee.

The monster didn't understand what was happening. He went into a fit of rage and tried to grab Giel, this was his last chance to win. But Giel wasn't going to give the monster that chance, he had one option to win with a hundred percent probability.

He bounced to the side a second before the icy claws were to sink into his flesh. Giel wasn't going to risk getting close to the monster, his life was at stake in this battle. There was no point in showing off.
