Book 10: Chapter 2 (5)
About 10 minutes after Shin’s departure, Gargalla arrived at the orphanage.
Holding 『Giant Slayer』 high, he maintained his running speed as he raced along the roof-tops and jumped up.
『Giant Slayer』’s blade, boosted by the acceleration, was then swung down on the orphanage’s barrier.
The skill-boosted blow made the barrier shudder. Shin’s 【Barrier】 and 【Wall】 could withstand most blows without problems, but a strike from an advanced player wielding an Ancient-grade weapon would not leave it unscathed.
Each blow triggered a counter of magic attacks, but Gargalla swept them away with his battleaxe. As the barrier was located within the city, the magic attacks’ power was limited too.
“Damn, this is one tough barrier!! But… There we go!!”
【Barrier】 and 【Wall】 finally started showing cracks; seeing concrete effects of his attacks, Gargalla shouted in joy.
“Maybe High Humans aren’t that good at defense?”
THE NEW GATE included few defensive skills, and normally offensive skills tended to have higher proficiency levels.
