Chapter 283
If Ji Cheon-Myeong was the hyena—moving in the Yaksha’s wake to feed on the Kang family’s remains—then Yamamoto was a tiger. He, alongside Qilin, had crippled the Yaksha with his own hands.
“Yamamoto, or should I say Sword Master!”
Jae-Hyeok arrived like a bolt of lightning and slammed Iyarugt in an overhead arch. Sword met sword, and a metallic wail split the air.
Yamamoto’s clone—the Sword Master—twisted his wrist. Sparks sprayed between Iyarugt’s glassy edge and the sword breaker’s serrated teeth. Behind the tengu mask came a bleak voice: “Even with that sword, your strength is meaningless before me.”
So far, Jae-Hyeok had cut through throngs of enemies, mithril door plating, and even black iron composite—his sword preserving a pristine edge all the while. Such a feat could only be achieved by a legendary-rated item with the “unbreakable” modifier.
However, Yamamoto’s third sword, Samekiba, was also legendary-rated and unbreakable, and it was even of the sword-breaker class, having an aggressive design that excelled in direct clashes.
“Hmph.”
Pressing hard, the Sword Master dragged Samekiba horizontally. The Samekiba’s serrated teeth locked against Iyarugt’s edge and pulled it along, threatening to disarm Jae-Hyeok or snap his wrist—before it could, Jae-Hyeok angled the flat of Iyarugt forward and slipped free.
Sweat trickled down Jae-Hyeok’s temple, and he narrowed his eyes.
“I’ll deal with him!”
Theodore sensed Jae-Hyeok’s intent and rushed forward, yet Yamamoto’s original body kept pace.
“Oh no you don’t.”
