It had made, his movements sort of ghostly, which made it hard to track.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, I am slightly regretting, removing the focus. I did it in favor of other skills, which I had thought would be more useful here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Till now, I didn't get a chance to use it and I hope, I never do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His movement is confusing, but I could see it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mental stats are high enough, that such skills couldn't confuse me; not to mention, that I had leveled up and had an actual battle experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said that today I am in a much better position to fight an enemy like, him than I was yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I would have been fearful of such a skill yesterday, but today, I am not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped in front of me and attacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His attack was fast, with mist covering his sword, made me feel like, my head was spinning as I looked at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't look away and instead swung my rapier in response, with the power of Blade of Gale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our swords clashed surprising, the tall man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget his sword hitting me, I didn't even so much shake, which was surprising even to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like the level-up had given me a greater boost than I had thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't have time to enjoy the surprise as I dashed to my left with the Blitz Steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rip!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was able to dodge it, but an attack from Rolno Orac had torn my sleeve, with a blade of his saber, nearly touching my skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, it had only cut the sleeve, not the hand he was targeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hun!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was feeling relieved when I saw another attack coming toward me from the front, by the tall man and his sword had already crossed half of the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I reacted immediately, with a rapier whipping toward it without wasting any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could feel his attack was more powerful than the last. It is not only fast, but there is also weight to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was right, I felt it the moment, my sword touched his and activated a quick parry, to divert the force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would have numbed my hand, at the least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to stop the parry and press ahead but didn't succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hun!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It presented me with a golden opportunity to move at him and hack his neck, but I had to move to dodge the attack from the orc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bastard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I cursed the orc as dashed left. If not for it; I would have a good chance to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The confidence surprised me, but it is the truth. There is a good chance I would have been able to kill him or at least injure him seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle yesterday had given me the valuable experience of fighting the pre-Lv. 30.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had sparred with them, hundreds of times, but I didn't have the confidence till yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday's battle had given me the confidence, and experience, to fight foes like these.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, I am not just fighting with the intention of surviving, but to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attack came from the front again, and I moved my rapier to deal with it while keeping an eye on the orc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I clashed, parrying the attack once again, before moving on to dodge the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rip!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was a little slow at that and got the cut on my waist by the orc's saber. It's not deep enough, but deep enough, to draw out the blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had just dodged the attack from the orc when a human attacked me again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang Rip Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I clashed against them every second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn't want to give me even a moment of rest. I am constantly moving, my feet never staying in one place for more than a fraction of a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am using my Speed Skill and passive skills to the best of their abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have trained to use them at maximum efficiency, and I am pleased with how I am doing, despite the cuts appearing on my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rip!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another one appeared on my back, and a moment later, tears began to appear in my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It started to burn, like someone had filled it with kerosene and lighted it with the fire. It's really painful, that I want to scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain skill. It was the first time he had used it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I bore the pain and defended against the attack, parrying it, when I noticed something surprising from the corner of my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had been expecting the saber, but it was a shield coming at me, with an obvious intention of ramming it at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is also fast. Fast as the saber he had been attacking me with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had experienced enough ramming from Garzong and others to understand, how bad it would be. If the shield rammed against me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I moved to dodge the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is not a single thought in my mind to stop the shield with my rapier; that would be an utter mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I dodged it, but he seemed to have expected it as he attacked me with the saber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I reacted immediately and brought my rapier forward to defend against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My rapier clashed against his saber, giving me a shock in my arm despite parrying the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attack might not be fast, but it was filled with power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rip!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I defended, but another came immediately, and I moved to dodge it, but the attack was fast, and it cut through my chest, right below the armor, giving me a bloody cut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bleed,\" he said with a smile, and came at with the orc, while I moved to dodge, before defending against his second attack and dodging another of the orc's attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang Rip Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My blade clashed, and I dodged while getting cut on the back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are increasing and the pain; they give brings tears to my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wanted to scream. Instead, I bore the pain and defended and dodged their attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their teamwork is good, and their capabilities and powers complement each other. It is likely why they have been sent to deal with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should surrender, Silver. It will only become more painful. If you keep fighting,\" said the orc and leaped toward me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is definitely a skill. Seeing with the grace and speed, he had leaped toward me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I waited for a moment and crouched down, before moving right. Dodging his attack, before swinging my rapier forward to defend against the tall man's attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will not surrender. If I had an intention of doing that; I wouldn't have resisted the undead at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not interested,\" I replied as I dodged another attack from the orc, which severed a few pieces of the tattered sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minutes passed, and the fight continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone is fighting. I don't know how they are doing; I am completely focused on the two enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are so powerful, that I didn't let myself get distracted, even for a moment. I cannot afford, to even look around for even a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rip!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I got another cut on the back by the orc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is light like the most, but their numbers are piling up across my body and also the pain they are giving me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wanted to kill the bastard, but Orc wasn't the target, nor I could kill him with the tall man on my tail, who is attacking me constantly every second since the battle begins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their plan is good; they are attacking me constantly, not giving me even a single chance to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I do not mind it, to be honest. I like such battles. I thrive in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few more minutes passed, and we were still fighting. I could see the frustration and anger in their eyes, but they were experienced and kept it under control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had not expected this; they might have thought about the two of them together, it wouldn't take them more than a minute to finish me off, but it had been over ten minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though, it's also true, that I am bloodied and battered, while there is not a single injury on their body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rip!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another cut appeared on my leg as I dodged the saber of the Orc when the sword-tall man came at me as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I moved my sword to defend against his attack, using Blade of Gale, which I had using since the start of the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My sword clashed against his, and I parried with a quick parry as I did hundreds of times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is why, he already started moving, pulling back his sword for another attack, while the orc, attacked from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attack, I would dodge and then move my sword to defend against the attack of a tall man again, but I didn't do that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, I move forward like a bullet, without care for the attack of the Orc coming from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surprise flashed in the tall man's eyes, but he reacted fast by retreating and bringing his sword forward to stop me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My sword clashed with his and could see a relief appeared in his slightly panicked eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I grinned at him and pushed myself forward. This time, I held nothing back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, my speed more than doubled, and appeared beside him with our shoulders touching and the sword locked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wha\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his mouth, looking at our locked sword, when his eyes widened and panicked, which had just disappeared, returned with a hundred times more intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rapier isn't the only weapon, I have. There is another one, that is moving toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sparred with Jim the most; the third of the sparring, I had done was with him. So, it is obvious, I would learn some tricks from the rogue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dagger reached him when I felt a defensive method activated on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It surprises me, not the defensive skill, but the one it belongs to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't belong to a tall man but to the orc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That didn't stop my dagger, it flared with the power of enchantments, and I activated Sharpness on top of it, making the attack even more powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It touched the tall man's neck and pierced inside despite the defensive skill, before tearing his neck apart with the power of Mauling Strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap on thebelow to read20Advanced Chapters.\u003C\u002Fp>",1791,"2026-06-09T06:54:39.599Z",1,"novelbin.me","3e1ee1ef9ac69ab2d53df7af5ac2f3c67506cf41a8c0708a4ac1287f353cc74b","city-of-desire-kingdom-building-chapter-444","city-of-desire-kingdom-building-chapter-442",917,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcity-of-desire-kingdom-building-cover.jpg"]
