Chapter 49: I’m an Attention Seeker (3)
Jordic, who didn’t know about Luke’s curse, wasn’t particularly surprised by the attack. What did catch him off guard, however, was the force behind Luke's arrows.
“Impressive,” he muttered.
There was no need for conversation. Unlike Keter, Luke had plenty of arrows. Without hesitation, Luke pulled out three arrows at once and shot them simultaneously.
As Jordic charged, he thrust his spear and intercepted all three arrows in one swift motion. But surprisingly, three more arrows flew toward him, even faster than before.
“Wh-?!”
Shooting arrows faster than I can deflect?!
Unable to deflect two of the arrows in time, Jordic was forced to spin, using his spear as support, and barely managed to dodge them.
Jordic closed in on Luke, but Luke kept retreating, continuously shooting arrows at him. Jordic couldn’t seem to get close to Luke; even his spinning spear technique wasn't working either, as each of Luke’s arrows was precisely striking the spear's shaft and disrupting its rotation. Luke's strength was entirely different from Keter's style.
Then, one of Luke’s arrows struck Jordic right in the chest. Luke had angled his bow just enough to deceive Jordic. But the wound was shallow, as Jordic, already knowing that he wouldn’t be able to dodge the arrows, used Aura Armor first.
“I thought you were a servant, but it turns out you're a proper knight. I apologize for underestimating you,” Jordic said.
With that, Jordic kicked off the ground, causing the ground to erupt beneath him. As he swung his spear widely, the aura concentrated at the tip transformed into a slicing energy wave that surged toward Luke.
