Damn it! Ohjin cursed without meaning to and bit his lips as he stared at the slowly approaching blue-armored knight. It looked like it would be out of the frying pan and into the fire for him.
Of course, hed imagined hed have to fight the knight in the worst-case scenario. I was hoping I was wrong. As always, though, nothing went the way he hoped it would.
Can I beat it? He thought back to Jason Hardy and Orlando Bale being defeated, and he couldnt think of a way to emerge victorious without using Heaven Unfolding. Shit, I cant use Heaven Unfolding, though
He already knew that, once he started to rely on it, he would eventually bring about a certain catastrophe. He had to avoid using it unless it was the worst situation. Its not yet to the point where Im out of options.
He squinted and tightened his grip on his spear. He couldnt think of a way to beat the monster, but there was at least a way to fight it on equal footing.
The blue-armored knight came to a relaxed stop, and its dark-red eyes glared at him through its helmet. Without saying a word, it drew its rusty sword.
Shlink
A freezing chill spread over the area, and just when the tension seemed thick enough to cut with a knife
"Namgung Hui, now!" Ohjin shouted as he looked over the knights shoulder.
! The knight turned in a hurry but couldnt even see so much as a rat behind it, and there was certainly no Namgung Hui.
Ohjin smirked and leaped forward. "As expected, you understand humans, dont you? Lightning & Thunder stretched out from the end of his spear and shot toward the knight.
The monster lifted its rust sword to deflect the attack, but how could someone parry lightning with a sword?
Kzzzzzt!
The blue lightning flowed into the sword, electrocuting the knight through its armor. Following the attack, the knight swayed on its legs.
"Hup!" Ohjin exploited the opening and rapidly closed the gap between them. Since the knight understood language and had some level of intelligence Blue Lightning! His lightning fanned out.
Pzzzzzzzzzt!
The knight avoided the lightning with the same, mysterious teleportation step itd used against Jason and swung its sword. Thinking fast, Ohjin wrapped Lightning Flames around the blade of his spear and moved to block.
Just before their weapons met
Taang!
Ohjin fired a wire into a nearby tree and launched himself into the air as he released his spear and let it bounce off of the knights rusty sword before it rolled on the ground.
Claa-aang!
Since it has intelligence, it can be lied to. Still on an upward trajectory, he spun in the air and used Thunder Fall to drop toward the knight.
The monster calmly faced Ohjin and swung its sword at him during his rapid descent.
Ohjin brought his lightning-covered fist down against the edge of the rusty sword.Rread latest chapters at novel35.com
Crack!
"Keuk!" Intense mana surged through the knights weapon and started to tear apart Ohjins fist. He quickly jumped back and created some distance before he lost the exchange.
Ah, so will it not be that easy to trick? The knights reaction times were too fast. Even though hed used a feint and dropped his weapon, it hadnt helped. He frowned and channeled the stigma of Aquarius to heal his ruined fist.
"Now!" Still lying down, Ohjin suddenly opened his eyes and channeled mana into his wires.
Shllliiiiiinnnngg!
As they contracted, the wires wrapped around the knights legs and pulled.
! Surprised, the blue-armored knight drew its sword and cut at the wires. Using that moment, Ohjin shot to his feet and threw a right-handed punch imbued with Lightning God Physique.
I only have one chance. It was the moment hed been waiting for since the fight started. Stigma of Clepsydra. The world came to a jarring halt. Strangely enough, the knights sword moved at such high speed that it continued to visibly close in toward Ohjins shoulder.
It looked like itd hit him before he managed to punch the knight, but
Shlink!
The rusty sword passed through his shoulder as if it were air.
Bzzzzzzzzzt!
A moment later, his crackling fist seemed to strike the blue-armored knights helmet.
Bang! Craaaaaaash!
The knight went tumbling and rolling across the ground.
"Ha!" Ohjin exclaimed as he looked at the knight. Shit, it blocked that? At the last second, just before his fist made contact with the knights head, itd changed the trajectory of its strike and blocked with the flat of its blade.
Drrrrk
He saw proof of that in the scattered remnants of the knights rusty sword and gave the fallen knight a solemn look. Damn it His entire right arm was in tatters due to the Lightning God Physiques aftereffects; just when he thought it was time to use Heaven Unfolding
"Ugh my head." It looked like the sword had failed to absorb all of the shock, and the knights helmet cracked and shattered into pieces.
He saw a handsome face underneath. Allen?" Ohjin asked.
Sure enough, Allen, an apostle of Deneb and a member of the Seven Stars, staggered to his feet while groaning and clutching his head. "I expected you to be strong but I honestly never imagined you would be this strong." The man shook his head and wiped the blood from his forehead.
Ohjin heard the man muttering to himself and wondering if he was really an 8-Star. "Ha" Disbelieving laughter left his mouth. If the blue-armored knight was Allen, then
Clap, clap, clap!
He heard applause behind him and turned his head to see a woman he didnt recognize. She had dark-green hair, a slim figure, and was about as tall as Ha-eun. As if that wasnt enough, she was undeniably beautiful, and her emerald-green eyes sparkled at him.
"Wow! That was amazing! I never thought anyone would hit Allen!" She burst into laughter and clapped her hands in joy. "Oh, by the way, I'm Rebecca. You've heard of me, haven't you?"
Of course hed heard of her She was the Star of Celestial Shining Pearl, Rebecca Bella high-ranking Awakener of Gemini. It would be harder to find someone who didnt know her.
"Um she said. Would you have an easier time recognizing me if I used the name NT?
"What?" Ohjin asked.
A big smile crossed Rebeccas face, and she bashfully approached and stroked his cheek as he stood still in shock with an unreadable expression.
"Fufu, she said. Good job, Uncle. I thought I would fall in love when you said youd kept your promise.
