Chapter 338: 338

The loud sounds of the Gigant’s footsteps and the noises of the huge swords clashing with the other .

Whenever the Gigants that Luke and Belik were riding went in contact, huge violent sounds rose and the knights who were watching them screamed from a distance .

It was because the fierce mana wave that the Gigants were presenting was the first time for the knights to witness .

Only Rogers, Philip and Hwang Bo-sung were the ones who were able to ignore the mana waves’ pressure .

They were at a master level, so they were more aware of the flow of the battle than anyone else .

“Our Lord really has a great feel and control . ”

“Well, that is all thanks to me . ”

At the words of Rogers, Philip shrugged his shoulders and spoke about his greatness .

Luke was able to attack Belik with brilliant magic attacks . At first glance, Luke seemed to be the one to take lead in the situation . However, Rogers didn’t think so .

“Our Lord’s attack doesn’t seem to work on Firestorm . ”

“That makes no sense at all . How is he able to stop and avoid all of the attacks?”

Just as Scarlet said, Luke’s attack had very little effect .

That too with the attacks going on and on, but the most shocking thing was Belik barely managed to step out of his original position .

With very minimal movement and brief steps, all of Luke’s powerful and sharp attacks were blocked and dodged .

“Lady, it seems to imply the movement of the Master . ”

“Is that possible, Sir Hwang Bo-sung? From the man’s point of view, it is his first time meeting our Lord . ”

Hwang Bo-sung didn’t respond to Kaper’s question .

He understood how Belik was responding to Luke’s attacks .

However, his language skills weren’t proper enough to explain it in detail .

After a series of attacks, Luke was struck by Belik and got pushed back .

And seeing that a chance had opened up, Belik showed the desire to rush for Luke . When Luke managed to unfold magic and block the incoming attack…

Dozens of large ice cubes formed in front of the tester Gigant and flew right at Belik’s Stiletto .

It was just a piece of ice, but its strength was comparable to that of steel as Luke had strengthened it using magic .

“Huh, you think that this is going to stop me?”

Belik didn’t panic and just smashed the ice cubes with his giant sword .

However, when he was about to hit the last ice cube flying in his direction, it exploded .

The shattered piece of ice cube obscured Belik’s vision for a moment .

As Belik was shocked by what happened, Luke rushed in using Blink .

A powerful shock wave magic formed at close range and hit Stiletto .

However, Luke, who watched its attack, frowned .

‘What the?! He is being pushed back!’

Cyclone Wave was a magic attack that struck the opponent with a powerful shock wave . Objects of volume and mass such as Gigants had no choice but to take in great damage due to the waves .

However, since Belik’s Gigant stepped back, it only got pushed, and the shock wave had no effect .

And Stiletto didn’t seem to have taken much damage at all .

“Phew! That was dangerous, dangerous indeed!”

“How did you know and respond to it?”

Luke asked Belik, who was on the move . Shortly before Luke used magic, Belik deliberately disturbed the balance of Stiletto and made it get pushed away by the wave .

“Well, it was obvious for an attack to come flying in in that situation . ”

“It was either a direct stab or a magic trick, and it is whether you try to hit me, stab me or pierce me . ”

So Belik decided that it would be best to at least reduce the damage from the hit in case it couldn’t be avoided .

That was why he deliberately got himself pushed back .

“Maybe it would have been destroyed then, but you had no choice but to make a simple and clear choice in such a situation . You are even more experienced in combat,” praised Luke .

Luke knew that the man was a formidable opponent .

However, despite his nickname—Firestorm—or his unstoppable personality, Belik was very cool-headed in battle .

The most surprising fact was that he was able to read the opponents attacks in advance .

“And just saying, Gigant’s movements are pretty obvious . Unlike the individuals who have different body shapes and muscles, each Gigant is standardized to be the most efficient for combat purposes . The only difference is the thickness of the armor or the output of the core engine . ”

In addition, there are limited areas to be hit .

It was easy to understand where the opponents attacks would come at .

‘Right, that was why he was able to counterattack while minimizing the balance . ’

If one knew how their opponents attack, there wasn’t much need to move around .

If the movement of a Gigant was reduced, the consumption of aura would be reduced as well, and so the battle could move forward easily .

‘If one is a skilled knight, it won’t be much difficult to understand the opponent’s movements . However, Belik’s sense is definitely higher than the others . ’

Belik had a keen sense of computational and analytical thinking . He was more like a wizard than a knight in that sense .

If he walked on the path of magic instead of the sword, he could have become an Archmage who might have made a name for himself in the continent .

“I do acknowledge that you are a great rider, but unfortunately, you met the wrong person . ”

With horrifying speed, Belik’s sword went for a stab .

A very straight forward attack aimed at the core engine .

However, since the attack was fast and powerful, comparable to an Advanced Sword Master, he had to choose between defense and evasion .

And Luke’s choice was to avoid .

On a hurry to hit, Belik’s huge sword was chasing Luke’s tester like a viper .

In that process, the gloves of Luke’s tester were scratched .

“You wanted to avoid me? Surely you knew that it can’t be stopped, right?”

Rushing offensively to shake of the attacks from Belik, Luke shook his huge sword .

Rather than simply using the sword skill, the left hand of the tester Gigant didn’t hold a huge sword and poured out magical attacks .

Was it because he was anxious?

Belik’s Stiletto was moving constantly .

“That is great . A Sword skill which isn’t normal too will make no difference on me . However…”

Belik, who truly admired him, changed his posture and counterattacked .

“You won’t beat me with this!”

Belik’s impact aura’s trajectory covered the air, and at the same time, a sharp bursting sound rang out .

Luke’s tester Gigant, which was cut horizontally, touched the core engine . It glowed and stepped back .

As the sparks glowed between the split up gloves, the faces of Rogers and Philip went blue .

“Stop the battle right now!”

If the core engine bursts, Luke’s life would be at stake .

Those who were ready to stop the battle stopped when they heard Luke’s scream through the transmission .

“Don’t enter yet! It isn’t done yet!”

“The core engine is fine, so don’t worry . ”

However, the balance of the engine was broken, so he couldn’t center it in the right manner .

Even if he tried to manage it, the Gigant tilted to either left or right .

‘It will be impossible to fight this way . ’

Just moving a little ahead was turning difficult for Luke . The Gigant was bound to fall with Belik’s next attack .

‘What to do? I won’t be able to win even over a normal rider with this state . ’

It was impossible for Luke to admit defeat .

He wouldn’t be able to reason with Belik, and he would have to see his arrogant behavior run out wild .

And on top of that, Luke just had no intention to lose .

‘Belik isn’t a Sword Sage . If I can’t even win over this one, how am I even supposed to defeat Rudolf?!’

Biting his lip, Luke began to manifest magic and rushed straight toward Stiletto .
