Chapter 517: The World’s Strongest Swordsman (side: Volk)
The lecherta’s cheeks puff out as she prepare another spray of poison. But I shake my head.
“…It’s fine for now, it’ll just block our vision.”
In a high-speed aerial battle, the poison effect can be rendered almost entirely meaningless simply by holding one's breath. Under normal circumstances it could be a useful deterrent, but Alexio has already charged straight through it without hesitation. He is stronger than I am, so the smokescreen effect would actually be a disadvantage.
“Kishi…”
The lecherta swallows the poison in her cheeks.
“Here I come, Dragon Hunter!”
Alexio swings his sword to release a [Shockwave] as he flies towards me. I shoot it down with a [Shockwave] of my own.
“…[Quick].”
Alexio utters after closing most of the distance, and changes his grip on his sword. I learnt how fast he is when we crossed swords earlier. But, apparently he can strike even faster.
