Chapter 241
“......”
A chill traced Yusuke’s spine as he examined the cross-section of the ogre’s neck.
Ogres were famous for their thick skin and bones; moreover, their kind had necks like tree stumps. To cleanly behead such a monster was no easy task—in fact, given how tall ogres stood, it was close to physically impossible for most players.
This ogre in particular stood over eight meters tall and was nearly half as wide.
When Yusuke had seen it preparing to step on the onlookers, he’d made the snap decision to sever its ankle first. Not only would doing so save the onlookers, but it would also destabilize the ogre—bringing it to its knees and putting its neck within reach.
This strategy was common sense when attacking large monsters.
Jiang Lei clearly thinks the same.
Yusuke turned his gaze to the ogre’s other leg. Jiang Lei had attacked the ogre in almost the same way and at the same time as he had.
Well, technically, there’s a difference in difficulty. My striking the ogre’s raised leg is much more impressive, although even that is still nothing compared to striking off the ogre’s head...
No matter how many times Yusuke thought about it, beheading an eight-meter ogre in one blow was a feat bordering on miraculous.
At least in terms of swordsmanship, he’s several levels above me. Thinking as much, Yusuke’s lips twitched as he fought the urge to laugh.
Isn’t he only sixteen years old now? Hehe～
