Chapter 45: Seventh Level - Sword Of The Ruined World (2)
“No defense? You’re saying I have to just take the hits?”
[If we're talking theoretically, yes.]
“It doesn’t seem like a very good swordsmanship technique.”
If there was no defense, it would be hard to even call it a sword technique. The ghost gave a careful explanation.
[I said there's no defense, but that doesn't mean you don't block attacks altogether. You know the saying' the best defense is a good offense'? It's like that. You preemptively stop the opponent's movements. You attack where the opponent is going to move their sword, blocking from our side. If you had to put it into words, it would be an aggressive defense?]
“Hmm.”
Having used a sword extensively himself, Taesan understood what that meant.
“But there are certain attacks that can’t be blocked.”
The opponent’s movements were anticipated, and their attacks were stopped. It sounded good. However, in the end, this was based on the movement of an attack. Perfect blocking would be impossible.
[You just take the hit.] [But in return, you attack even more. There are complete strategies for that as well.]
“It’s not a very stable sword technique.”
[It is risky. But its power is certain. I couldn't learn magic very extensively since the gods were annoyingly picky. My innate talent was also lacking, so I was stuck with beginner magic.]
