Chapter 212: PAID

I was in much better condition than usual. It might be because of a change in my mindset that made such a difference. What was clear was that I felt incredibly refreshed.

A sense of confidence that I could do anything surged within me. My body moved in sync with my thoughts, and my mind was clear, wide open. I could see each of Kelberos’s movements in fine detail.

The first ambush was perfectly executed. I didn’t hit the vital point as I intended, but I still made a clean, significant hit by cutting deeply into his back. For someone as strong as Kelberos, this was quite a successful strike.

With the feel of cutting through muscle, droplets of blood splattered across my cheek.

There’s always a certain pleasure when I feel my enemy’s confusion. Our eyes briefly met. I smiled slyly at Kelberos and withdrew the sword I had swung. At the same time, I twirled my dagger in my left hand and grabbed it in reverse.

In Inble, the sword is a very common and versatile weapon. Of course, swordmasters, knights, even dancers, and sword mages can all wield swords. Most melee classes that use weapons can use swords.

The assassin class I wield is no different. Just as a Hashashin uses a scimitar, an assassin can wield a sword just as easily. It's just that the dagger build is more commonly used.

What I hadn’t been able to use up until now wasn’t the "sword," but rather the "swordmaster" class.

In other words, now, even without being a swordmaster, I could wield a sword just fine. In my right hand, I gripped a longsword of about 80 cm in length, and in my left hand, the usual dagger. This was the weapon I had chosen for this match.

“Will we get to see the infamous play again in this arena?”

“I think so... If there’s any leftover stamina, I’ll drown him in the seawater. If he doesn’t like the sea, any other place is fine.”

“That sounds great!”

“Looks like a photoshopped image, damn it.”

“Ah, don’t you know? This is ‘Boshintang’ from Korea.” → “But it would be too salty if it’s in seawater.” → “I’m from the MZ generation, and we young people like strong flavors.”

“Why does she smile like that?” → “I guess she likes choking people.” → “No, she likes making them drowsy.” → “?”
