Chapter 714: Sword and Thread (side: Volk)
『I shall no longer aim to dismember you, silver-haired swordsman. From now on, I will fight to kill.』
Ares says, readying his sword.
『You may well be the strongest swordsman I have seen. But this is the end for you.』
Ares appears to sway and shift. He’s using [Multi-Shadow Stride] again.
Innumerable threads plunge down from atlach on the ceiling, tracing towards Ares. She’s using the sharp [Severing Thread] skill. However, the threads are entirely unable to reach Ares.
Ares is moving far too fast in his gigantic armour. Even if it wasn’t for [Multi-Shadow Stride], landing a hit on him would be next to impossible. I had hoped atlach's threads would restrict his movements, but he appears to be dodging with plenty of leeway.
Suddenly behind me, Ares swings his sword in a horizontal sweep. I duck down at the last moment, my head dipping beneath the blade.
A huge crash impacts the cathedral wall. The building shakes, and begins to collapse.
I look around. The people who were trapped in here have all left already. It seems they carried out the two injured swordsmen who fought before me, too. I can fight without heed to my surroundings now.
