Chapter 32: [Weekly Bonus - 1/2] Duel (2)
’Roughly ten minutes. That’s all I got before the rest of them get back to their feet,’ Adrian mused upon checking the status of the heroes.
Meanwhile, it seemed Rowan had finally gotten serious about Adrian. A cold breeze blew, gently tugging his long black hair, tied in a ponytail, as he adjusted the grip on his katana.
A thin, murderous smile curled on his lips as his blade shimmered with a faint aura. It was the strength bestowed upon one of the seven rare classes in Nexaria.
The aura surrounding Rowan’s blade was weak because of his weak mana, an after-effect of Libra’s attack. Still, it was strong enough to manifest before their naked eyes, alerting Adrian.
Suddenly, Rowan lunged forward with a lightning-quick strike, aiming for Adrian’s chest. The latter deftly parried the blow, but Rowan wasn’t done.
Rowa, wielding a katana, had a speed advantage over Adrian’s broadsword. In his capable hands, Rowan could attack Adrian from several different directions while Adrian would only manage to block a few.
However, due to Libra’s interference, Rowan only performed three continuous attacks without straining himself. Surprisingly, Adrian blocked two of Rowan’s attacks, but the third one hit him in the shoulder.
The impact was loud as the katana tore through Adrian’s clothes and slashed the armour. Even with the potent aura surrounding the blade, no blood seeped from Adrian’s ’wound,’ shielded by Ogre’s tough skin and the lightweight armour concealed beneath his clothing.
"What!?" Rowan exclaimed in surprise. "How the heck are you unaffected after that?"
