Chapter 317: Swordsman of the Falcon, Nell
317 – Swordsman of the Falcon, Nell
“Seyaah!”
Nell kicks off the ground to leap towards me. His jump doesn’t have much height, but the power behind it is incredible. He’s almost skimming across the ground.
He is by far the fastest human I’ve seen, but he’s still much slower than me. My ease of movement has been reduced slightly by my messing with [Humanisation Technique], but it’s not enough to overturn the difference.
His foot snaps off the ground, changing his trajectory to a diagonal approach. He lands, restores his stance as his back leg pivots behind him, then kicks off the wall to leap directly towards me.
“[Godspeed Flash]!”
He thrusts his sword out as he suddenly accelerates. Here it is. It’s the skill he used before. It only lasts for an instant, but it massively increases his speed.
But it appears he can only make straight line attacks with that skill. If that isn’t practical for the situation, then it’s nothing amazing. With my overwhelmingly greater power, I have plenty of margin for error in countering his attack and killing him. I swing down with the back of my still-growing hand.
Within the span of an instant, he withdraws his sword and twists in the air. He rolls down the surface of my hand and kicks off it to pass by my head and slip behind me. I hurriedly look back and see him upside down in the air. He’s managed to get behind me.
