Chapter 533 – Plunder

Knight Jamal wielded his Will, making the sword in his right hand hum.

Wooong!

The sword vibrated again, resonating with intensity. Enkrid saw the trembling blade create afterimages.

It seemed as if the sword had multiplied into dozens, perhaps hundreds of blades, resembling the rapid wingbeats of a bee. Unless that sword was a chatterbox like Aker, this had to be Knight Jamal’s swordsmanship.

“Try taking this one.”

Jamal swung his sword. There was no sound of his feet striking the ground nor the blade cutting through the air. When a knight at his level swung a sword with intent it moved beyond ordinary perception.

The speed surpassing limits, silenced even the sound. This phenomenon was called the moment sound dies, a term coined by a bard attempting to describe it. In reality, it was nothing more than a sword swung faster than sound. To the average person, the motion seemed to mismatch the sound entirely.

But for those who dwelled in this realm within the space where sound itself died—it was all the same.

Using foresight, Enkrid anticipated Jamal’s attack a step ahead, yet simultaneously realized it was nearly impossible to evade. The trajectory was difficult to avoid. No, it was a strike aimed not to be dodged but to demand a block. It seemed like a move to settle the duel in a single blow rather than through successive strikes.

Dodging would concede the initiative to his opponent.
