Chapter 111: The Invasion of Evil (4)
Crunch.
The headless body tumbled across the ground. Butler, who had instantly regenerated, stared in shock.
“What... what just happened?” he shouted. His expression looked nothing like before. He was visibly alarmed. “What did you do?”
Butler had imbued his greatsword with the power of severance, a force capable of slicing through any material. If everything had gone as expected, that barbarian should have been chopped into pieces. Instead, only Butler’s greatsword had shattered.
“What do you mean what did I do?” Ketal asked, tilting his head. “I just threw a punch.”
“You...!” Butler reached out. Darkness swirled around his hand, reconstructing his broken blade.
Ketal watched with interest. “So even the sword can regenerate. Then that greatsword itself must be your authority.”
Ketal sounded pleased as he analyzed the situation, which only made Butler’s face twist with rage. Butler then charged, imbuing his blade once again with severance.
Ketal calmly extended his hand and caught the greatsword in his grip. Butler channeled more power, trying to slice off Ketal’s hand. Yet, the power of severance was suddenly crushed, as if it had struck a solid wall.
Ketal tightened his grip on the blade. Unlike before, instead of shattering the weapon, he seemed intent on taking it.
“You scum!” Butler hissed, his face contorting. “How dare you try to steal my weapon!”
“If you don’t like it,” Ketal replied, “try and stop me.”
