Kidnapped Dragons (KR Web Novel)

Observing the opponent, estimating how theyll move, looking for a gap.

There was no such thing.

Yu Jitae ran in and swung [Conviction of Ancient Soldier].

Kwaangg–!

The Sword Ghost blocked it resulting in massive sparks. As their fight began, Yu Jitae was made to look into its disgusting face.

With the astonishing strength fitting an S+ mid-boss, the Sword Ghost pushed his sword away. Despite being a regressor living his fourth life, he was helplessly pushed back.

It didnt give him any chance to restabilise and immediately ran in. The sword half mingled with darkness had an unpredictable length and range to the weapon. He thought he blocked it, but the darkness embedded within the sword flowed down before scratching Yu Jitaes neck like the claws of a beast. His powerful physique was torn apart.

Parrying the sword, Yu Jitae tried to decapitate its head. However, the Sword Ghosts lower body turned into a dark mist and immediately distanced itself. The [Conviction of Ancient Soldier] ended up slashing nothing but thin air.

Its movements were mysterious and due to its unpredictable nature, the Sword Ghost was already in the air above him before his eyes could follow it.

After a turn in the air, the Ghost slashed down with its sword. Even the trajectory of the sword was extraordinary.

If he were to try to block it he could, but should he?

If he were to try to dodge it he could, but should he?

Or else…

Quickly making a judgement, he stabbed the sword whilst blocking the opponents sword at the same time. The Sword Ghosts sword which he couldnt fully parry swept past his shoulder and his left shoulder muscles screamed out in pain.

Nonetheless, the attack was effective. [Conviction of Ancient Soldier] had stabbed one of the eyes of the Sword Ghost.

However, that became a problem. Since its eyes were hollow in the first place, it didnt damage the Ghost and instead, the sword was stuck inside its skull. To the monster, its head was not a weak point.

He tried to pull the sword away, but the Sword Ghost utilised its mysterious movements again and didnt allow him to create a distance.

That was when the surrounding forest moved in a timely manner and began slashing him like a wave of swords. Hundreds of blades scraped past his entire body as pain erupted all around. His left arm lost its sense of touch.

Because of that, his mana flow became slightly slower.

The mana soaring from his heart travelled across his upper body, through the ripped shoulders, arms and wrists, before eventually gathering at the tip of his sword.

[Sword of Giant Soldier (AA) – 7th Form]

[Obliterate]

Yu Jitae struck the ground with his sword. It created an immense explosion and fragments of sharp mana scattered everywhere, taking the blades with them. Everything within ten metres from him were all crushed including the metal trees.

The Sword Ghost hastily distanced itself.

“…”

While bleeding from his entire body, Yu Jitae bit his lips. His breaths were short.

After reaching a certain level, superhumans were able to estimate their opponents power level. Yu Jitae predicted that the Sword Ghost was weaker than himself. However, it had a profound understanding of swordplay and the landscape was negatively impacting him.

He thought to himself.
