Chapter 151: Tip of the Iceberg (6)
“...I heard that the Sword Witch was fast, but this is insane. I can’t even see her. What about you, Rajis?” asked Jordic, the Spear Dragon, gesturing toward the large screen in the lounge.
Rajis, the Sword Dragon, remained silent, eyes fixed on the battle between Keter and Henya. Due to the limitations of magic, the screen couldn’t fully capture Henya’s movements. All it showed was Keter subtly shifting his body to dodge bursts of light. But he understood how many martial arts principles lay in those seemingly meaningless movements.
There are still other strong people in this kingdom besides Jordic.
Rajis had always believed no one in his generation surpassed him, until now. Two people had proved him wrong: Keter and Henya. Keter’s archery reached otherworldly heights, and Henya’s twin sword technique was like fighting four people at once.
So her technique is definitely Agile Footwork... But I didn’t know it could be used offensively like that.
Rajis also knew that movement technique, but to him, it was just for traveling far quickly. However, Henya had elevated them into a deadly offensive style.
One small mistake and she’s going to collapse. Yet she controls it so precisely. Incredible.
He bit his lower lip, frustrated that he couldn’t see this in person.
“If only I could be there...”
Henya wasn’t the only one who impressed. Rajis thought that Keter, who was fighting against her incredible speed, was just as impressive. It seemed like he couldn’t keep up with her speed, but for some reason, he was still standing. Despite appearing helpless against her relentless stabbings happening dozens of times in mere seconds—despite dripping with blood, it was Henya who seemed impatient, not him.
“To stay that composed under the gaze of tens of thousands, with your life on the line...”
Keter didn’t panic at Henya’s new technique; he adapted. Rajis found that even more terrifying than his overwhelming archery skill.
