Chapter 338.2
‘Three paths? Not eight yet? I see…’
It was the first time Isaac had seen his sword technique, Isaac Swordsmanship, performed by someone else. Though Edelred could only produce three paths instead of eight, Isaac wasn’t sure if it was due to a lack of power or a unique aspect of Edelred’s style. Still, it was impressive. Considering his age, Edelred was mastering advanced techniques far earlier than Isaac had.
‘Gebel was late teaching him advanced swordsmanship, but… let’s see how he reacts to a counterattack.’
While Edelred’s sword energy came toward him, Isaac had enough composure to analyze and think. It wasn’t that Edelred was slow, but rather that Isaac’s reaction speed had skyrocketed after his battle with Dera Heman.
Isaac moved his sword.
Slash, clash, bang!
In three swift motions, he shattered the three streaks of energy Edelred had unleashed. That part was expected. What was unexpected, however, was what happened next—one of the shattered energy streaks reversed direction and flew toward Edelred.
“Ah!”
Isaac was momentarily caught off guard, and in the blink of an eye, Edelred was thrown back by the counterattack. Protected by *Kaldbruch*, he wasn’t hurt, but the stunned look on his face showed how unexpected the hit had been.
