Swordsmanship.
A skill that uses mana and mental power to move the sword freely and attack enemies from a distance.
It is such a rare skill that even most hero units are not able to use it, making swordsmanship one of the highest-level skills.
Would it be fair to say that this is the skill that melee characters who use swords as their main weapon dream of?
It completely overcomes the limitations of melee characters with short attack ranges.
Is this really swordsmanship?
While Otto was surprised, the mace freely moved as if it were a living creature and struck the goat head of the chimera.
Not only Otto, but Camille was surprised.
Swordsmanship?!
My goodness
Did our lord really use swordsmanship?
I never thought I would see such a skill in my lifetime
The knights and soldiers who were watching were also surprised.
Their lord used swordsmanship!
Why? Does it remind anyone of a song about a dictator of a northern kingdom using a decree of exile?
Is this really swordsmanship? Otto asked Kairos in surprise.
Kairos smiled mockingly. [So, you recognize swordsmanship. You do have an eye for talent.]
What do you mean?
[Did you think I became the emperor who ruled a third of the continent just by bluffing? The reason I was able to conquer the empire with just one mace was because I had formidable power.]
Kairos voice was filled with pride in himself.
Otto also admitted that if someone had the power to use swordsmanship, they would be considered a strong person on the continent even today.
[Use my strength] said Kairos.
Okay.
Otto swiftly caught the returning mace with his hand. Then he charged towards the Chimera.
Krrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Kyaaaaaaaak!
Meeeeeeee!
The Chimera was very angry.
Judging by the blood dripping from the goats head, it had clearly taken a serious blow.
[Start with the wings.]
The Chimera was a monster with a strategy for taking it down.
The first step was to destroy its wings so that it could no longer fly.
Roar rrrr!
The Chimera swung its sharp-clawed foreleg at Otto as it charged.
Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Otto easily dodged the attack by rolling his body.
Thanks to the power lent to him by Kairos, he was capable of movements that he wouldnt have dreamt of before.
The wings!
Otto swung his mace towards Chimeras vulnerable spot.
Since his weapon was a mace, he couldnt cut the wings, so he aimed to crush the wing bones completely.
Kwaang!!!
With a sound like an explosion, the Chimeras right shoulder collapsed as Ottos mace successfully shattered the shoulder bone that connected to the wing.
Next up? The goat.
Ottos next target was the goats head, among the Chimeras three heads.
Each of the Chimeras three heads had different abilities.
The lions head in the center emitted a terrifying flame. The wyverns head on the right spewed toxic gas, and the goats head on the left fired a petrifying ray that turned enemies to stone.
Like right now.
Zzzzzzt!
A gray beam shot out from the goats eyes, aimed at Otto.
Otto dodged the petrification beam by bending his waist like a bow.
Ziiiiiiiiing!!!
Aaahhh!
Otto jumped around to avoid the petrification beam.
[You idiot stop rolling around!]
Kairos yelled at Otto.
[Climb on its back!]
Huh?
[If you climb on its back, you wont get hit by its attacks, right?]
Right!
Following Kairos advice, Otto jumped onto the back of the chimera.
And then?
Die, you b**tard!
Otto swung his club wildly and hit the goats head.
Meeeh! Meeehhh!
The goats head screamed in pain.
Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Kyaaaaaaah!
The lions head and the wyverns head also screamed in agony.
Otto held onto the chimeras skin tightly with his left hand and continued to attack the goats head with his club in his right hand.
As a result.
Crunch!
The goats head broke and its brain spilled out.
Now its the wyverns turn.
Otto continued to attack the wyverns head with all his might.
Kyaaaaah!
The wyverns head spewed poisonous gas, but it didnt reach Otto on its back.
Crunch!
Finally, the wyverns head was also partially smashed like the goats head.
Kreooooooooooooooh!
With only one head left, the chimera rolled around on the ground.
Otto had to get off the chimeras back, or he might get crushed by its body if he kept riding on its back.
Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!
The lions head growled at Otto.
[Dont be afraid.]
Kairos advised Otto.
[When the beast breathes fire, thats your chance.]
How?
[When the beast opens its mouth wide, throw the mace.]
.!
[Nows the time!]
As the chimeras lion head opened its mouth to breathe fire, Otto swung the mace with all his might.
Swisshhh!
Mace flew like a missile and hit the chimeras throat just as it was about to breathe fire.
What happened next was surprising.
Kreaaaaah! Kreaaaaah!
The chimera writhed in agony and suddenly burst into flames on its own.
At the moment the fire was about to spew out, the mace had plugged its throat, causing the flames to reverse!
