He even dodged a follow-up slash to the leg!

"..."

"..."

"..."

There was silence again.

It was a strange feeling of silence unlike before.

'Is this... What happened?'

'Wasn't he a healer?'

Raymond himself was surprised.

'How am I dodging?'

He moved instinctively in terror, and he dodged.

Or, more accurately.

'I see the attack. And how to dodge it.'

In retrospect, the attacks weren't that fast.

No, they were definitely fast, but were they dodgeable, or even that threatening?

'Those attacks weren't threatening? Are you out of your mind, Raymond?'

Raymond looked dumbfounded.

But it was real.

And it wasn't the first time he'd experienced something like this.

In the ruins, when he'd faced the demon, when he'd dueled Seitil.

He had felt similar to this.

He was terrified and screaming, but in retrospect, the attacks weren't as threatening as he thought.

'Are you telling me... I've gotten stronger?'

Raymond swallowed hard.

He had a hunch.


[Stats]

[Stamina: 36 → 46 → 49.5

Senses: 33 → 38 → 41.5]


These stats have increased his physical prowess to an incredible degree.

Almost as strong as a knight!

'I'm really strong?'

At that moment, the red-faced White Sox raised his sword eerily.

"Let's see if you can get away with it this time."

Pow!

Brown mana surrounded his sword.

It was the Mana Sword, the symbol of a mana user, and it was attacking with all its might out of pride!

'Hyuk.'

Raymond's heart sank when he saw the Mana Sword.

But then, something unexpected happened.

"Stop! Stop!"

Boom!

An intense beam of light.

A mana sword with an intensity that could not be compared to White Sox's mana sword!

It was Elmud!

"Keuk?!"

White Sox managed to block, but the impact was too much for him.

He flew backwards, coughing up blood.

"M-My lord?"

Raymond looked at Elmud in surprise.

Elmud's eyes darted about like waves, then he made another sudden move.

"My lord Raymond, allow me to raise my sword for you!"
