Chapter 147
Caleo looked at them calmly as he pulled out his katana.
"Charge," Caleo simply commanded.
In an instant, the Attackers reacted with swift precision. An archer unleashed a flood of arrows, forcing Cypher, Christian, and Pierre to take cover. The other three, including Caleo, rushed forward, their movements coordinated and lethal.
Caleo, with a single glance, entrusted Christian and Pierre to two of his teammates, making it clear he would face Cypher alone.
Cypher, his sword already drawn, met Caleo’s advance, their encounter a dance of steel and skill. However, Cypher clenched his teeth as he exchanged blows with Caleo. He could feel the difference in their skill and experience.
Clang!
Clash!
Clang!
Their blades clashed in a shower of sparks as Caleo aimed for vulnerable points, aiming for a quick finish. However Cypher countered his attacks by blocking each of Caleo’s precise movements. He was waiting for an opening to strike his weakness.
Caleo, sensing Cypher’s strategy, shifted his tactics. He feinted, drawing Cypher into a defensive posture before unleashing a series of lightning-fast thrusts, forcing Cypher to parry with every ounce of his strength. The strain was evident on Cypher’s face as he was pushed back, step by step, forced to react to the relentless onslaught.
But then, Cypher saw the opening he was waiting for. Caleo’s’ focus was entirely on the assault, his defensive posture momentarily neglected. With a surge of adrenaline, Cypher saw his chance, and he charged. He countered, and swiftly changed the pace and strategy by launching a series of powerful strikes.
