Chapter 101 - A Slow and Silent Poison
The clash between Rygar and Larax transformed the battlefield into a chaotic and brutal scene.
Every blow exchanged between them left deep marks on the ground; cracks spread like spider webs with each impact.
Lightning and flames crackled around Tsukikage, and Larax's scimitar vibrated with increasing clarity, magically sharpening with each collision.
It wasn't long before Rygar realized why Ornthorn's sword had been cut in half—the scimitar of Larax had a peculiar ability.
It seemed to become sharper with every strike, as if it were adapting to what it was meant to cut.
Thinking about it, he wondered: how did Ornthorn still have his sword intact when he encountered him? Could there be a great blacksmith in the Dragon King's Realm? But he couldn't indulge in random thoughts now.
He was fighting against a North Emperor, and as the fight advanced, he increasingly realized that even though he had made great progress with his Touki, he was still weaker in a frontal battle, even with magic.
He needed a change; if the combat continued like this, he would be the one dead in the end.
Then he suddenly used Burst Step and charged toward Nighthunter, who had fallen when he was struck by lightning.
Larax pursued him relentlessly, but he managed to recover Nighthunter.
His enhanced Flash Step was proving extremely useful—impossible to track with the naked eye.
