Chapter 115: Stop Playing Around
Chapter 115: Stop Playing Around
Hamilton inwardly groaned, thinking, 'This is bad!' Reyn had cultivated the Bear Breath Technique, and even after advancing to the Extraordinary, he was a Strength-type Knight. Facing an opponent with superior speed, he was bound to be at a disadvantage.
If the two switched roles, the fight might have been more balanced.
After all, it wasn't uncommon for a cautious Speed-type Knight to dodge a few attacks from a veteran Strength-type Knight.
Reyn's expression remained calm as he unleashed a fierce Cyclone Slash towards Kalavi's approaching direction.
Kalavi's toes tapped the ground, and he leaped high, aiming at Reyn's head. His dual swords swiftly crossed, executing a classic Knight sword technique—the Cross Slash!
A chilling cross of light appeared before Reyn's eyes.
In the blink of an eye—
Kalavi's swords crossed, forcefully blocking Reyn's powerful strike.

Reyn's pupils constricted, and he hastily blocked with his Radiant Greatsword.
The Night Watch members, who had been excited and happy a moment ago, exchanged glances, thinking, 'Could he still be unharmed after all this?'
Reyn had just been promoted to a Knight, and now he had an opponent to test his strength against. It was like a perfect opportunity falling into his lap.
"Haaahhhh!"
Reyn's Agility attribute instantly jumped from 14 to 15 points, and his fatigue vanished, restoring him to peak condition. Kalavi bent his knees slightly and swung his dual swords, attacking Reyn again with even greater speed than before.
Kalavi, like a cannonball, returned to the original dent in the wall, but the heavily damaged wall could no longer withstand the powerful impact.
"..."
"Clang!"
Fortunately, the wall was of good quality; otherwise, Kalavi would have surely broken through it.
Reyn, surprised by Kalavi's resilience, felt a hint of excitement rather than fear.
"That ability to swell muscles is probably a Knight's special power, right? It's incredible!" another Night Watch member chimed in.
A deafening roar echoed in Kalavi's ears.
A piercing sound tore through the air.
"Clang, clang, clang, ding!"
Clearly, Kalavi's dual swords were not ordinary High Steel weapons; they likely contained some rare metal, like Reyn's Radiant Greatsword, which explained their exceptional power.
To achieve such an effect on the solid training ground, one would need immense strength. They had tried stomping, but the ground only kicked up a little dust, leaving barely visible footprints.
Reyn, however, remained unmoved and did not pursue.
"Reyn said he wasn't a Knight before, but now it's clear he's a full-fledged Knight! That explains why he was so calm when facing the Black Flame Mage," Matteo realized, his eyes widening in understanding.
Matteo had also activated Break Limit, and his body beneath the plate armor had slightly swollen.
Just as he was about to say something, Colonel Connor beside him stopped him, "Don't be hasty. Keep watching. Did you notice Reyn's state? He's not panicking; he doesn't look like he's about to lose."
This stacked state attack directly stunned Kalavi, and the sheer force of the blow almost tore his chest plate apart.
"Amazing! Reyn must have advanced to a full-fledged Knight!"
Reyn summoned one-tenth of his strength, and his power value jumped to 21 points.
"Hehe, I doubt Reyn will be so lucky with the next strike."
Gordon, hearing Connor's words, turned red with embarrassment and couldn't say a word. He just grunted and walked away.
Kalavi's sword speed was incredibly fast, and even with Reyn's advancement to the Extraordinary and his increased strength, he couldn't completely block all of Kalavi's attacks.
The Night Watch members were stunned speechless.
"Kalavi hasn't even shown his true strength yet, and this lucky guy is already overwhelmed!"
Kalavi performed a swift 360-degree spin in mid-air, countering the previous head-on clash.
Hamilton was taken aback and observed more closely. As Connor had said, Reyn's calmness was remarkable; he didn't seem to be forcing himself.
The situation had reversed too quickly for most people to react.
Just as Kalavi was about to quickly circle behind Reyn for an attack, Reyn unleashed a Cyclone Slash with unexpected speed. Kalavi had no choice but to brace himself for Reyn's 'Giant Strength lv1' enhanced Cyclone Slash.
The watching Night Watch members could no longer see Kalavi's attacks clearly.
Hamilton was now considering stopping this 'unfair' duel.
"Swoosh!"
Everything in Kalavi's path, including archery targets, wooden chairs, and sword racks, was smashed to pieces. Finally, with a 'bang,' he slammed into the wall, creating a circular ripple and a large dent around the impact point.
"Swoosh!"
With that, Carave could no longer hold back, and just like being charged by a wild boar, his entire body accelerated faster than before, slamming straight into the wall on one side of the training ground.
Rain's chest suddenly bulged, and his slightly loose Knight chest armor almost burst, while the muscles and veins on his neck swelled noticeably.
Carave's toes touched the ground again, and in an instant, his entire body shot forward like an arrow, charging towards Rain, his twin swords flashing with incredible speed as he continuously thrust at Rain with lightning-like strikes.
What happened next left everyone stunned!
Witnessing this, Carave's face beneath the plate helmet couldn't help but show a hint of a smile. He's too young and inexperienced! To use the supernatural ability 'Gigantic Strength' so quickly. But what good is strength if you can't hit your target!
No wonder Rain didn't pursue him; he was also dealing with the recoil.
On the ground, two clear furrows could be seen, not very deep but still noticeable, left by Carave's feet.
He twisted his neck, but instead of hearing a crack, the scraping sound of his plate helmet rubbing against the chest armor filled the air, further proving the defense of the 'Tin Can' armor.
"Cough, it seems Rain has won. Lord Gordon, can we end this farce now?" Colonel Connor coughed and spoke to Gordon.
Sparks flew!
In that case, there's no other choice but to use this move!
Facing Carave's attack, Rain decided to test the other's Knight supernatural ability, 'Gigantic Strength lv1'.
At that moment, Rain glanced at his attribute changes; his strength had increased from 15 points to 19.5, clearly the effect of the supernatural ability 'Gigantic Strength lv1'. A threefold increase in strength was far less than the boost from Power Surge.
Seizing the moment when Carave paused, Rain unleashed a Fury Slash, sending his opponent flying again. This time, Rain utilized both the supernatural ability 'Gigantic Strength' and a 50% Power Surge.
"Supernatural ability Swiftness?" Rain's expression turned solemn. This Knight named Carave had reached the limit of what the human eye could perceive.
The flawless version is available at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar, the first to release this novel.
Logically, the opponent in mid-air should be the easiest target.
"Haa!" Rain further increased the intensity of his Power Surge.
Watching this, Gordon couldn't help but nod and smile.
Gordon's mouth twitched, his expression sour. In his opinion, dealing with that 'Lucky Guy' should have been an easy task, a chance to let off some steam.
The grating sound of metal clashing filled the air.
Now's the perfect time to test it.
Rain fearlessly unleashed a powerful Fury Slash with the Radiant Greatsword towards his opponent.
Carave's speed suddenly increased severalfold, and in a flash, he appeared a few meters in front of Rain.
Carave's thrust landed heavily on Rain's plate chest armor, emitting a clear ding! Upon closer inspection, a small dent could be seen on Rain's chest armor.
But now, the situation had become so complicated, which made Gordon feel annoyed. He shouted from the side, "Carave, stop playing around!"
Instantly, Rain's muscles swelled slightly.
"Bang!"
"Clang!"
So, he decided to keep watching.
"Sssss!"
Rain's heart stirred, and he silently added an attribute point to Agility. His opponent's speed was a bit too fast, and he didn't want to reveal his supernatural ability 'Iron Skin' yet, so he needed to match his opponent's attack rhythm as much as possible.
"Yes! Yes! That's why Rain could take on six mercenaries and defeat them. It turns out Rain was already a Knight back then."
Everyone was still curious why Rain didn't pursue his opponent, but Matteo, with his sharp eyes, noticed that Rain's feet had sunk into the ground by at least ten centimeters.
In an instant, Carave's body slightly froze.
Carave slowly pulled himself out of the wall.
The 21 points of strength caused Carave's hands to tremble, and the Radiant Greatsword pressed down harder, nearing Carave's Knight face mask. Clearly, Rain's strength had become too much for Carave to withstand.
And so, Carave broke through the wall, flying out onto the street! Everyone in the training ground was left dumbfounded by this scene.
However, since Carave's Knight Breath Technique wasn't focused on strength, even as a Veteran Knight, he couldn't gain the upper hand when clashing directly with Rain.
The Night Watchmen immediately cheered, "Well done, Rain!"
"Rain, should we start calling you Sir Knight now?"
". "
At this moment, Hamilton, who was also in shock, seemed to realize something. He turned and spoke to Rain seriously, "Rain, there's something important you should prepare for in advance."
