Chapter 451 Destion
Skr didn''t possess any murderous intent. It was as though he was a swordsman without a soul.
However, the coordination between his swordsmanship and his body was as precise as aputer.
There was no w in his attacks.
Jonathan had fought against Skr with Torrence before. It was an exhausting experience.
At that moment, Jonathan spotted Skring toward him. I won''t be able to climb up anymore.
Skr will cut the rope.
That was guaranteed to happen because Skr''s programming was near perfect. There would be no
faults in his movements.
If the rope was severed while Jonathan was climbing it, he would be briefly suspended in midair.
Jonathan wasn''t a match for Skr in the first ce. If he were to get stuck in the air, even just for a
moment, thetter would definitely eliminate him.
With no other options, Jonathan escaped toward the west, which was the opposite direction of Skr.
He bolted away at lightning speed.
Skr immediately pursued his target.
Yeverie and Torrence were stunned when they witnessed that scene from above.
“I''m going to save Mr. Lawson.” Yeverie was extremely worried.
Torrence promptly stopped her. “I''ll go. You hide somewhere here first.”
With that, he jumped down.
While Yeverie was also a Divine Master, she wasn''t abatant. Furthermore, she didn''t have any
weapons. If she joined Torrence, she would be targeted by the enemies and be a burden.
On the contrary, if she stayed up there, Jonathan and Torrence could focus better on defending
themselves.
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
Yeverie was aware of that, which was why she didn''t follow Torrence despite how worried she was.
Jonathan had been escaping for three minutes, while Skr had been in hot pursuit behind him.
This is bad! Jonathan swiftly spotted the end of Demon Pce ahead of him, which was an ice wall. If I
keep running away, I''ll get myself trapped!
At that moment, he wasn''t aware that Torrence wasing to his rescue. He didn''t expect anyone to
help him out.
What should I do?
Only Skr is chasing after me right now. I don''t see Mr. Moose anywhere. I think it''s because Mr.
Moose is a magician, so he''s physically weaker and can''t keep up with me. Skr can because he
already possesses that ability. This means Theos cannot force them to surpass the limitation of their
physical bodies despite being able to control them. In other words, Skr didn''t actually be more
powerful. He''s just extremely skilled with the sword. In other words, I''m still mightier than him!
A crucial realization dawned upon Jonathan.
What the f*ck. I can''t believe Skr became more threatening than me just because he has a sword.
Does this mean I can''t defeat Theos even when he''s only utilizing Skr''s strength? This is infuriating!
I''ve never been afraid of anyone when ites to fighting before!
Jonathan put on the Dragon Binding Gloves.
He had just arrived at the end of Demon Pce. Before him was the ice wall.
He suddenly stopped.
Skr caught up with him momentster and swung his sword, ready to split him in half.
Even though it seemed as if he was waving the sword casually, he was actually exerting much power.
A single swing of his de could almost bisect Jonathan''s body.
When one made their move, an expert would know whether they were as exceptional as they had
made themselves out to be.
Jonathan spun around like a snake and faced his opponent.
At the same time Skr unleashed an attack, Jonathan attacked him from below,unching him into
the air.
Jonathan was so skilled with the technique that it could be said he had mastered itpletely.
Skr''s expression remained unchanged as he thrust his sword at Jonathan''s head. He acted as
though his victory against Jonathan was secured and that he was about to win.
Skr''s swordsmanship had changed.
His next move was horrifying and couldn''t be blocked.
When Jonathan took on a defensive stance, he had already predicted Skr to use that technique.
After all, Skr was like aputer. Every action he took was the most precise and effective one.
Jonathan was also an expertbatant, so it wasn''t difficult for him to guess what Skr would do
next.
Instead of dodging Skr''s sword strike, he clutched his legs and shoved him into the air.
Skr wasn''t as physically strong as Jonathan. He immediately toppled backward.
But he remainedposed. He spun his sword and tapped the ground with the tip. Then, his body
contorted in a strange way. Like a snake, he bent his body toward Jonathan before thrusting his de
at him.
It was an astonishing and appalling turn of events.
During the entire process, Skr was in the air, his feet still in Jonathan''s hands. Yet, he had performed
a series of difficult and monstrous maneuvers without breaking a sweat.
Jonathan wasn''t stupid. Without hesitation, he threw Skr away, sending him flying.
He didn''t stop there. He leaped and charged toward Skr. He nned to eliminate him by punching
his waist before he dropped to the ground.
Skr was about tond just as Jonathan arrived below him. He swung his sword at his adversary.
That attack was performed without warning.
Jonathan was forced to sidestep the assault.
In that moment, Skrnded back on the ground.
Jonathan realized that Skr was his equal. It won''t be easy for me to kill him as quickly as possible.
Right then, Torrence arrived.
The duo exchanged nces, murderous intent swelling in their hearts. We need to deal with Skr
here as soon as possible. After that, we''ll destroy Mr. Moose. This is our only option for survival.
Skr swept his gaze past the two without any expressions.
Jonathan and Torrence attacked at the same time. Both of them were experts. In fact, Torrence was
capable of ying multiple Golden Knights alone. Now that he had joined forces with Jonathan, he
became even more powerful.
Torrence tapped his foot lightly, causing a crack on the ground. In a sh, he appeared before Skr
and attempted to slice him apart.
The essence and beauty of swordsmanship lie in two simple actions: stabbing and shing.
In terms of stabbing, one must strike like a lightning bolt so the opponent can''t react in time.
As for shing, one must be able to overpower the opponent with only a single wave of the weapon.
At the same time, Jonathan approached Skr with Antelope Rhythm and grabbed his throat with
Dragon w.
Skr swung his sword at his skilled opponents without even observing their moves.
He attacked as though he aimed to eradicate a small army in a single motion.
No longer did he care about Jonathan''s and Torrence''s attack. He didn''t mind getting injured if it meant
he couldnd a hit on the duo.
While he could afford to sacrifice his body to execute an attack, Jonathan and Torrence couldn''t.
Skr was being controlled by the puppet primordial spirit. But if Jonathan and Torrence died, they
wouldn''t being back.
Skr managed to force the duo back with a single strike.
He then took one step forward and stabbed Torrence.
Torrence blocked Skr''s de with his own. Sparks flew as the swords shed against each other.
Skr''s sword was broken in half.
Just as Torrence was about to continue to attack, Skr thrust the broken sword at him at lightning
speed.
Torrence was forced to avoid it.
When Jonathan noticed that window of opportunity, he immediately grabbed Skr''s arm.
“Get down!” roared Jonathan.
Skr sneered, abruptly turned around, and struck Jonathan''s chest with his palm.
In that instant, Jonathan heard the sound of bones cracking.
It wouldn''t have been possible for Skr to turn around with Jonathan still grabbing his arm.
Unfortunately for Jonathan, Skr had performed an unexpected maneuver and snapped his own arm.
While holding Skr''s detached arm, Jonathan spotted his other palm flying straight toward his chest.
Shocked, he bent forward before hopping backward, sessfully avoiding Skr''s attack.
Skr didn''t stick around and bolted away immediately.
Jonathan was stunned for a moment. He stared at Skr''s severed limb.
He could see the bone sticking out of the fleshy arm.
The blood that remained in the arm was cold and sticky. It was clear that Skr''s body had been dead
for a long while.
Jonathan was sensitive to blood, so he was able to feel that clearly.
Torrence was stunned, too. Jonathan shouted, “Get him!”
Torrence shook his head. “Forget it. It''s pointless to pursue him. Even if we can chop Skr''s body into
pieces, we still won''t be able to eradicate Theos'' puppet primordial spirit.”
Jonathan chucked Skr''s arm away in disgust and shook his hand, shaking the blood off his gloves.
They were somewhat shaken by the events.
“Let''s go. Let''s get out of here first,” Torrence suggested.
Jonathan nodded.
Soon, they arrived back at the copsed exit. Yeverie had been waiting for them above.
Her eyes reddened when she saw Jonathan and Torrence were still alive. She didn''t know what was
going on while staying up there. She was incredibly worried about the two men''s fates.
Torrence turned to Jonathan. “You should go up first this time.”
Jonathan didn''t reject the offer.
He stood on Torrence''s shoulders, and Torrence pushed him up.
Momentster, Jonathan and Yeverie used a rope to pull Torrence up.
By then, night had descended upon Snowhaven. Snow still covered thend and sky.
The wind and snow were raging, making it difficult for them to open their eyes.
As they stared at thendscape, they felt a sense of destion as though there was no ce for them
in the reality that birthed them.
This f*cking sucks! How the hell did I end up like this after spending only a little time in Moranta?
Jonathan felt depressed.
