Chapter 103: You Can Buy Pride with Money (1)
Gyro’s sword and Jordic’s spear clashed in midair, entangling in a fierce struggle as Gyro’s sword came crashing down, while Jordic's spear deflected and redirected. Luke, Anis, and Taragon held their breath, forgetting even to blink as they etched the battle into their minds.
Where else could they witness a fight between warriors of three-star caliber or higher? Simply watching was an invaluable lesson, a flood of insights waiting to be grasped. Even better, the two fighters wielded techniques of the highest level.
Gyro’s Swift Elephant Sword incorporated swiftness, power, and the intake. Meanwhile, the Moonlight Spear Style, derived from the Moon Rabbit Tribe, embodied four core principles—adaptability, unpredictability, swiftness, and unity—making it an unparalleled spearmanship.
Of course, having more principles didn’t necessarily mean an advantage in combat. Still, Jordic’s spearwork flowed seamlessly, like an unbroken stream, as if he had fully mastered all four principles.
Yet his techniques were ill-suited against Gyro’s sword. His adaptability and unpredictability crumbled before the sheer, relentless force of the greatsword, which advanced like an enraged elephant. In addition, their swiftness was similar.
Sweat dripped down Jordic’s forehead. His earlier resolve to win using only Block, Pull, Thrust, was long gone.
He aimed for Gyro’s chin and legs with Moonlight Spear, First Form: New Moon, but the incoming greatsword forced him to deflect with Third Form: Reverse Half-Moon Spear.
The Reverse Half-Moon Spear was designed to disarm or deflect an opponent’s weapon, but against Gyro, it was useless. In fact, it nearly made Jordic lose grip of his own spear.
Where the hell did Keter find this monster?!
There was no time to voice his frustration.
He stepped back, escaping the greatsword’s range, then pulled his spear back before thrusting forward.
