Chapter 574 The Head Of The Mountain (Part 3)

Clang. Clang. Clang.

Wain and the Knight exchanged blows for more than ten seconds. Wain swung his sword from different directions in a ferocious manner as though berserk, while every movement of the Knight was graceful. No matter how hard Wain attacked, the Knight always found a graceful solution to the problem.

p Gladius was silent. He had to give Wain advice, but this was the first time Wain didn't immediately lose, so he wanted to see how far it could go.

"Shit! Die!" Wain exclaimed as he stepped forward and lunged with his sword.

In response, the Knight also stepped forward and blocked Wain's attack with a raised sword with the blade to the ground as he used it as a shield.

Wain immediately attacked again, but the Knight instantly turned and swung his sword diagonally, so the blade tip plunged into Wain's flesh. Then, the Knight kicked Wain's chest, so he tossed him aside, as far away from the altar as possible.

The kick was not painful, but it was very powerful, as it was enough to throw Wain off the slope, and he fell to the bottom of the mountain.

"You bastard! I'll tear you apart!" Wain uttered with a furious look as his aura intensified several times.

He gathered energy and wanted to use the Blind Sorcerer's power to return to the ruins through the spatial rift, but he wasn't wearing a robe or an eye patch.

Bam.

Wain fell to the ground, and a massive dust cloud rose.

"What the hell?!" Wain exclaimed as he addressed to Blind Sorcerer, "Why didn't you help me?!"

'Well, Gladius forbade me to do so, or rather all of us. You have lost your temper, now you need to calm down.' Blind Sorcerer said in a calm voice.

"Forbidden? What nonsense is this? Since when do you take orders from him?!" Wain exclaimed.

'It's for your own good.' Code of Light and Darkness muttered, 'What did you want to do now? Teleport to the Knight and split him in two with a spatial blade? Right? I guess it is, but what's the point? Cool it.

'I agree. You're acting like a little kid. You can't even handle such a simple task. How are you even going to fight Arkans? Light Racer uttered in a sneering manner.

"Bastards..." Wain muttered and shouted, "Shut up! Otherwise, I'll kill you instead of Knight!"

His voice carried through the whole forest as though a wave that frightened most of the beasts. Goosebumps ran down their bodies as they hid under rocks or behind trees.

Wain was angry, he didn't know what he was angry about, his failure, or the fact that Blind Sorcerer refused to help him, but it didn't matter as he wanted somewhere to vent his rage. Also, the blood that flowed from the wound aggravated the situation.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Suddenly the ground shook as a huge creature emerged from behind the trees. It was a huge lizard with a massive, solid shell on its back that looked like three mountains, sharp and strong. The Lizard was in charge of the territory, so it had to deal with Wain that called it to fight.

"Well, well, I think I know who's going to win the Most Unlucky Lizard nomination this year. This is definitely not your day, right?" Wain smirked, grabbed his sword, and turned into a dark flash.

He stepped in front of the Lizard as he swung his sword. The beast had an excellent defense, so it did not dodge the attack.

Crackle.

Wain's dark sword easily cut through the Lizard's tough scales since it plunged deep into the beast's flesh as a massive stream of blood gushed from its paw. A wave of pain rippled through the Lizard's body, but the beast paid little attention as the Lizard opened its mouth wide and attacked Wain with its tongue.

A tongue like a whip came down on Wain and left a deep streak on the ground that split it in two with a massive cloud of dust.

"Damn. That was dangerous. It looks like you really wanted to kill me." Wain uttered as he stared at the aftermath of the Lizard's attack while standing on his head.

Rooooaaaaaaarrrrrr!

The Lizard was furious at this, so needles burst from the spikes on his carapace that headed toward Wain.

"Hey, I'm the one who should be pissed now. Your part is to be my victim!" Wain exclaimed and jumped up.

Needles flew under his feet, so there was nothing else to stop him from attacking. He gripped the sword firmly by the hilt, drew it back, and threw it at the Lizard's head with all his might.

The sword pierced the Lizard's head like a spear, so for it was the end.

Bam.

The beast's massive body fell to the ground with a blank, lifeless look as Wain landed next to its head and drew his sword from it.

"Phew, I definitely feel better now." Wain sighed with relief.

"Not bad. That's also how you were supposed to fight the Knight." Gladius uttered.

"Hmm? What are you talking about?"

"You ended the battle in one move, quick and precise. I mean, you could have inflicted multiple wounds all over that Lizard's body, running back and forth and waiting for it to bleed to death, but that would have been a shame."

Gladius continued, "Anyway, right now, you need to eat and heal your wounds. You'll be ready for your next fight with the knight in a few hours. I'm not a fan of cool techniques or fancy moves, my favorite style is to hit fast and hard but effectively. Every attack you make should be as deadly as this one. That's what I want you to do.

"Huh. You could have said that right away, but I think it was a good experience. I'll definitely win next time!" Wain grinned as he flipped the Lizard onto its back, "Well, well, I thought that boar that Ern caught was big, but eating all that meat will be even harder..."
