Chapter 554: [Blissful Spinner] (side: Volk)
I tense my body, wary of Howgrey’s [Blissful Spinner]. The only reason I can stand against him is thanks to my overwhelming physical advantage. But, his [Blissful Spinner] can overturn that.
Howgrey kicks his shortsword. It flies towards me, spinning at a terrifying speed. Dodging it is impossible, it’ll just come back. The right course of action is to repel it.
I step forward and swing into the shortsword, hoping to force it away. It’s heavier than I expected. It seems the skill is applying a constant strong force to maintain its trajectory. I was hoping to knock it far away, but instead it flies back to Howgrey’s side.
“Of course, I’m not going to miss this opportunity.”
Howgrey jumps forwards and snatches the shortsword out of the air and stabs it towards me while I’m still recovering from my swing. I leap back to dodge.
To follow up, he swings his longsword towards me. I raise my sword to block. Howgrey cancels his swing, and kicks off my sword to fly away.
“Can you endure this?”
He kicks his dagger, causing it to spin towards me. But that’s not all.
Howgrey’s figure blurs, and he rapidly gets closer. By chasing his own [Blissful Spinner] with [Shadow Fox], he’s going to strike with simultaneous attacks. If my opponent was anyone other than Howgrey, I would never consider the possibility of him aiming for something so ridiculous.
