Chapter 114: Defeated
Blaze charged again. He remained low even as he ran, and when he was within a good range, he went for a sweep with his legs. Riven reacted quickly and leaped backward to dodge.
"Gotcha," Blaze said, suddenly moving in a very unusual manner. He pushed off the ground, throwing a punch in the process. His plan was simple: nail Riven with a punch when he was mid-air.
There was no way Riven could dodge that. He would have to block, and Blaze had a plan for that as well.
Riven did the normal thing in that situation and blocked the attack, but he didn’t stop there. He borrowed the force of the attack, allowing his body to shoot back.
This created distance between them, putting him out of Blaze’s striking range and safe from the combo. Blaze was stunned when this happened. There was no easy way for him to get Riven now. He looked at Riven and saw a smile on his face.
’This dude, he is really good,’ Blaze thought. His smile widened, showcasing his razor teeth again. They both landed on the ground, and he launched an even faster attack, going in with a flurry of blows.
Since he couldn’t win using techniques and tricks, he would use speed and power to win. Sadly, to his dismay, despite the fact that Riven didn’t show any crazy speed, he managed to put his sword at just the right place before the attack landed, and so he blocked all the attacks.
Blaze started getting furious. It was as if Riven could predict all his attacks. He couldn’t even see a clear way to land a hit, and what made it worse was the fact that Riven was not even trying to attack, despite the fact he had created multiple openings to do that.
’I never really appreciated it, but Sword Mastery and Sword Disciple title are really overpowered,’ Riven thought.
