Chapter 63: Human? (9)
Ketal’s expression clearly showed that he was deeply moved. He was undeniably impressed by the fact that his opponent could resurrect even after being killed. The Tower Master didn’t even consider the idea that Ketal might be impressed with the magic itself.
While mages were undoubtedly rare, they were far more common than an Anomaly who could resurrect after death. It was hard to believe that someone as strong as Ketal would be impressed by mere magic.
The Tower Master, observing the battle, thought to himself, He might look a bit different, but a barbarian is still a barbarian.
A deafening rumble echoed through the air as the battle continued.
Adamant cursed under his breath. This guy is a monster!
The barbarian wasn’t wielding Myst, and he was countering Adamant’s magic with nothing more than his sheer physical prowess.
I thought the story of the barbarian catching the Aura-infused sword with his teeth was just foolish delusions spread by ignorant knights, but I guess I was mistaken, Adamant thought.
Ketal was withstanding the Myst as though it was perfectly natural. The ground quaked under another explosion as Adamant stared in disbelief. And what is with that axe? How is it still intact after clashing with my magic? What kind of weapon is that?
While Adamant was struggling to comprehend the situation, Ketal was also taken aback.
“I think you are stronger than Swordmasters,” Ketal muttered to himself.
Adamant had described himself as barely at the threshold of Transcendent capabilities, implying he wasn’t particularly strong. Yet, from Ketal’s perspective, Adamant’s abilities as a mage far exceeded those of a Swordmaster.
