Chapter 231
Cha Seung-Min’s severed arm spun through the air in a rain of blood.
Nevertheless, Cha Seung-Min didn’t shout or groan, nor did he even raise an eyebrow. As a military general and an S-class player, he had trudged through more wind and rain than others would in several lifetimes.
Despite only being in his forties, Cha Seung-Min was counted among the elders when it came to combat experience—the battlefield as his second home.
For someone like him, losing a limb wasn’t anything unusual, nor was the situation critical, so long as he kept calm.
A simple misstep. I will need to adjust accordingly.
Cha Seung-Min calmly acknowledged his misjudgement. Having been countered so cleanly, it was clear to him that he’d overlooked two important variables: the first being that Jae-Hyeok was, after all, a Kang and may have remembered his sister’s techniques from childhood; the second being that Jae-Hyeok was a student of Lion’s Castle and may have seen through his techniques from having sparred with his daughter Cha Jo-Ah. If it were the latter, then that would explain why Jae-Hyeok had been prepared for his Neck Drop, as if knowing ahead of time that Cha Seung-Min could and would use it.
Either way, now that he’d used Neck Drop and failed to capitalize, Cha Seung-Min knew Jae-Hyeok would be on guard against any Kang martial techniques he might use.
Cha Seung-Min reached an easy decision.
Since he’s already alerted, I’ll simply stop using Kang Hyeon-Ah’s techniques.In any case, I have an advantage even without them.
Although Jae-Hyeok might surpass him in raw talent, that was it; be it level, stats, or experience—Cha Seung-Min knew himself to be superior in all other aspects. After all, he had been leading the battle smoothly until just a moment ago.
Once I recover and change tack, this fight will be over in moments.
With that, Cha Seung-Min reached for a potion pouch at his waist with his right hand. But in that instant, a flicker of red swept by, and his remaining hand flew away.
