Chapter 100: Monster
With her two fingers firmly holding onto the blade that had been rushing towards her, Lin casually pushed it outwards.
This caused Gordon to stagger back a few steps.
โYouโre not my opponent, leave.โ Her calm eyes were overflowing with killing intent; This was her final warning towards her aggressor.
ใIngredient: Fire Lizardโs Tongue, Sulfur Stoneใ

โBoomโฆโ The air was set aflame.
Heated air rose up as the small, dark alley was filled up with a bright fire, causing temperatures to rise abruptly.
A crowd of fiery-red sprites was joyfully dancing back and forth on Gordonโs palms. Under the scorching heat, Linโs field-of-view was gradually beginning to distort.
As the incantation syllables chanted through Gordonโs lips started to overlap with one another, his palm-sized fireball had seemingly found a new source of fuel. It began to burn more intensely and rotated faster while growing larger and larger in size.
A human โA feeble species of the lower stratum โ had used language to receive the protection of the raging flames.
This inconceivable fact was laid out before her eyes, causing her to gasp in astonishment. That said, no matter how incredible it was, Lin was already prepared; Whether be it to evade or intercept them.
At this moment that seemingly unending chant came to a halt. Like a deflating balloon, the rapidly-expanding flame quickly extinguished and cooled down. It was as if it had just been a flash of fireworks.
Gordon had sidestepped and avoided the blade that had come stabbing towards him. The expensive ceremonial robes on his body, however, were not that lucky. A small piece of cloth had been cut off.
Despite receiving a surprise attack, Gordon didnโt falter nor hesitate in the slightest. He performed a backroll and moved out of the two-handed longswordโs attack range.
โYouโve arrived pretty quickly. It seems your nose is quite effective for a lapdog. Iโll give you a little applause for your eagerness to protect your owner.โ Gordon casually tossed the sulfur stone and the Fire Lizardโs tongue into his pocket. freewe bnovel.com
โI am actually here to save you.โ Replied Ji Bai as he carried his two-handed sword. He then shot a glance at Lin, whose hands were wrapped in blood threads.
โThe young are fearless. Even if you havenโt seen a demon before, you must have definitely heard of them? I cannot guarantee to be able to stop her once she gets angryโฆโ
โAre you sure you want to get in my way?โ Gordon looked at Ji Bai coldly.
โDidnโt you hear what I said?โ Ji Bai frowned.
โโฆIt makes no difference if I switch up the sequence and kill you first.โ With his hand, Gordon touched the sword in his hand and diverted his strength to the soles of his feet.
The somewhat-indistinct artwork on his blade was the outline of a pitch-black silhouette: A sinister-looking monitor lizard.
The sword tip drew a flowing river of fire in the air.
โCrack!โ The sound of fabric being burnt at high temperatures.
โโฆHis sword has also been enchanted by a sorcerer?โ
Although his timely evasion had helped him avoid the full-on assault dealt by the sharp blade edge, the line of fire had set Ji Baiโs collar aflame.
โA fight is a fight. Destroying someone elseโs personal assets is going too far!โ
Nobody would allow such a golden opportunity, where their enemy was distracted, to slip past like that.
Gordon didnโt give Ji Bai any chance to take a breather. Making use of the fact that Ji Baiโs attention was concentrated on his clothes, his longsword shot down backward, still emitting sparks of fire. It resembled a venomous snake plunging towards its target.
โClank!โ The loud sound of metal colliding reverberated and echoed through the air.
The fire sword was firmly stuck onto the handguard of the two-handed sword.
โI got you now.โ Said Ji Bai in a chilly tone.
ใCommon Class Magicโ Capric Counter Handguardใ: A counter sword technique. It would capture the instant the opponent makes a move and use oneโs handguard to intercept and block the attack. Requiring a strong neural reflex, it would create an opportunity for the defender after the attack was successfully intercepted.
A trace of astonishment flashed past Gordonโs eyes.
The next moment, he was sent stumbling backward.
Capitalizing on that chance, Ji Bai gave Gordon a kick and sent him flying towards a wall.
โDonโt try to show off your swordsmanship when youโre not good at it. Youโll lose your life instead.โ Ji Bai shot a glance at the handguard that had now been charred black, and inwardly gritted his teeth.
He would be lying if he claimed that it didnโt pain him in the least. This impure, two-handed longsword suffused only with a speck of Molybdenum metal was actually the only object in Ji Baiโs possession.
In contrast, the lone sword Gordon held in his hands was shiny as snow, to the extent that one was able to see the engraving on it. Precious stone ornaments decorated the crossguard of the blade while its body had also been enchanted.
It was simply the difference between a burning fire rod and a purple-rarity sword that had been upgraded 8 times.
โMasterfully applying sword techniques and combining kicks and attacks to perfection. Youโre a knight.โ Gordon patted the dust away from his clothes and stood up as if nothing happened.
A thin halo resembling a layer of iron skin fluttered up and down on his body. Some of the โiron skinโ that was protecting his back had broken down from the impact earlier and fallen.
โThe armor protection spell of a sorcererโฆ Youโre a shaman.โ Ji Bai narrowed his eyes.
โNo, I am just a human.โ
โโฆโJi Bai didnโt respond in any way to Gordonโs explanation.
โYour understanding of magic is too shallow. As a matter of fact, even though the difficulty to learn it is extremely high and the number of spells is limited, there is still knowledge humans can understand and learn from.โ Gordon picked up his sword and shot a glance at Ji Bai and Lin.
โSo the relationship between knights and demons has already become so close that theyโre like one family, huh? No wonder the common people are steadily being pushed to a dead-endโฆ The previous incident, the one where demons besiege the city walls, was actually orchestrated by your kind, am I right?โ
Ji Bai didnโt pay attention to Gordonโs words. Stretching his waist, he held his sword with his hands and swung it downwards like a shaking warhammer.
ใWatcherโs Furyใ
โHmph.โ Gordon laughed grimly. When faced with the sword edge that was surging towards him head-on, he had chosen to advance instead of retreating. With a stretch of his waist, he lifted his own sword up high.
His move was identical to Ji Baiโs action.
โCould this move possibly beโฆ?โ
ใWatcherโs Furyใ
โClank!โฆโ
Both blades were swung with a great force and openly clashed against each other, causing an ear-splitting metallic clashing sound to violently reverberate inside the small alley.
The sparks of fire on Gordonโs blade exploded outwards, violently stirring up the surrounding air. At the same time, shockwaves from the aftermath reverberated outwards, causing a series of fissures to appear on the nearby cement walls.
The two of them quickly retreated.
Ji Bai had gotten down to his knee, heavily panting while leaning on his sword.
Seemingly unaffected by the attack, Gordon stood up once again, looking just the way he was before. The only exception to that was the number of tiny โiron flakesโ on his body โ they had lessened somewhat once again.
ใWatcherโs Furyใ. A rare human sword technique whose destructive capability was capable of reachingใCrushingใclass. While it required less than 5 years for one to achieve minor success with it, there was no time limit as to how long it would take for one to master it. From that alone, it was clear how difficult it was to master such a sword technique with unparalleled destructive capabilities.
Ji Bai slowly got to his feet and stared at Gordon for a moment.
โA swordsmanship genius. If youโre a human, that is.โ
โThatโs too much of a compliment, but thanks.โ Replied Gordon after being silent for a moment.
Ji Bai suddenly narrowed his eyes on something and ferociously threw the molybdenum sword in his hand towards Gordon.
Gordon didnโt dodge nor react; Rather, he kept a calm expression as he looked at the two-handed sword that was thrown in his direction.
โClank!โ The two-handed sword brushed past Gordonโs shoulder and continued on its trajectory. It was then flicked away following a collision with what appeared to be a thick shell.
Perhaps because of being obstructed by the sword, the movement of the creatureโs body turned sluggish.
โHsssโฆโ The creature appeared to be very upset. With thread spitting out of its mouth, its small densely-packed red eyes were blinking and moving non-stop. Its 8 legs that were thrust deep into the ground were covered with sharp black hair. The bottom half of its body had the size of a carriage and undoubtedly was the body of a spider, while the upper half of its body resembled the figure of a naked, well-developed woman. There were no facial features on its face, instead, its entirety was densely covered with countless red small-eyes. A pair of large pincer teeth extended their way downwards from the position where the ears should have been.
โHsssssโฆโ A hissing noise capable of causing oneโs scalps to turn numb echoed within the small, peaceful alley.
