Chapter 657: Weapon and Shield
I jump towards the spiral staircase and use [Roll] to charge upward. After gaining momentum, I kick off the staircase, flying up towards Miia.
『Aro, make a foothold!』
“Got it! [Clay]!”
Two lumps of clay appear in midair. Kicking off them, I increase my speed while obscuring my angle of approach.
I look at Miia and send in a [Dimension Claw]. However, Miia securely defends against it with the blade of her greatsword.
By the time I get close enough to Miia, her surroundings are already bathed in a haze of black light from [Eclipse].
No matter what it takes, I’ll defeat her here…! I swing my greatsword at Miia.
“It’s not like I don’t want to try clashing blows with you. But unfortunately, this is a battle to the death.”
With her defence up, she guards against my blade. The difference in ability in our sword techniques is huge. With her devoting herself to defence, I can’t find an opportunity to break through, no matter how much I struggle.
