Chapter 297: Reaching the end........
[Hidden Blade: First Form]
[Blue Moon]
-FLASH!-
As the tip of my blade left its scabbard, the golden aura within me surged to life in an
explosive burst of energy.
The technique, though labeled as a skill I supposedly owned, still felt foreign-alien, even- as if my body struggled to harmonize with its power.
The speed of my swing was something I could barely control.
My grip was firm, but the sheer force behind the attack was overwhelming, almost unnatural.
I wasn't aiming to kill the clown-like Riley before me.
No, killing him wasn't the plan.
But holding back would have been arrogant-a mistake I couldn't afford against someone like him.
Unlike the previous version of myself, this one's skill set mirrored mine far too closely.
His movements were agile, nimble, almost impossibly quick.
In a battle of attrition or speed, he held the upper hand, which meant I had no choice but to end this fight before he could fully exploit his advantages.
-SWOOSH!!!
The crescent arc of golden energy surged forth from my blade, slicing through the air with a sound that resonated like thunder.
It traveled swiftly, illuminating the void with its radiance.
My [Mind Acceleration] skill kicked into overdrive, my perception of time stretching thin as I assessed the situation in microscopic detail.
Under normal circumstances, an attack like this would have caught him completely off guard.
Even though the trajectory was slightly slower than what Seo could execute, it was still the Hidden Blade technique.
