Chapter 198: Lazy Genius (2)
The Flying Thunder Sword Technique allowed one to control aura-infused swords. The explanation was simple, but its true value couldn't be appreciated unless one had experienced it firsthand. And Keter had experienced it plenty in his past life.
Clang! Cling clang!
Gathering aura into his fingers, Keter fired and struck down the three incoming daggers with perfect accuracy.
Normally, when throwing weapons were intercepted mid-air, that was the end of it. But not the Flying Thunder Sword Technique. The daggers that were clearly shot down mid-air twisted around, spun, and were launched at Keter again. Their sudden burst of acceleration often left first-time victims dead before they even knew what hit them.
Of course, Keter, who knew the mechanics of the Flying Thunder Sword Technique, twisted his body and dodged the second wave. Each dagger aimed only at lethal points: his forehead, neck, and abdomen. Even a graze would have been critical.
“Your trajectory is too simple. Everything’s aimed at the center of the body. You think that’s enough to kill me?”
Out of habit, Keter critiqued even while dodging.
Even being deflected couldn’t stop the Flying Thunder Sword Technique, so there was no way dodging it could. The daggers that flew past Keter circled back toward him. And this time, the daggers took varied paths, as if they had taken his advice—one came from above, one waved like a snake, and one came in a straight line.
“Enough playing around...”
Keter extended his hand. He was so fast that his hand seemed to vanish for a moment. When his hand reappeared, three daggers trembled in his grasp.
Brrrrrr!
The daggers, which came from different angles and speeds, were now trembling in his palm. They squirmed like they had wills of their own, desperately trying to escape. These daggers were infused with aura and were usually impossible to catch like this. Ordinary people would lose their fingers trying. On top of that, these weren’t ordinary daggers.
