Volume 8 Chapter 37: Getting Back Ground
"..." Neither side moved as they stood still. Keith's eyes did not blink for a whole minute. I can't make any rash moves against him. That was something he knew for sure. One move would gut him.
Isaac had such a normal stance, but it was anything but ordinary. No openings or imperfections. He was on the same level as Tennol, actually maybe even better! While ideas came to his mind,
"If you're not going to make a move, then I will," Isaac commented before disappearing.
Ching! The sound of wood collided with one another. Yet, it did not sound like wood at all! Instead, it felt like two metals colliding with one another.
"Oh," Isaac was intrigued, "So, you could block that?"
"You sound so unimpressed with that," Keith grinned. But he was sweating inside. What a heavy hit.
"Should I be?" Issac swung his sword again! His speed was blinding as Keith raised the shield in the air, guarding against it. But even as he did, he was being pushed back!
"You're wide open," "Gnh!" Isaac's blade smacked Keith in the face. Slowly, more attacks landed on the child!
"Are you-"
"He can't move. Rather, he can't counterattack," Krystal explained, "The sword saint isn't going to let him make a move." It was as if Isaac was a half...no, even two steps faster than Keith. There was no way the boy could overpower him. The others seemed to know this as well. Yet,
This kid isn't giving up. Issac realized something; despite the child getting pushed around like a rag-doll, he wasn't going down. His eyes were cold and calm; it was as if those attacks didn't affect him.
Wait for it. Keith's eyes continued to gaze at Isaac's movements. As the sword saint was going to land another blow,
"!" Isaac quickly backed off as Keith's spear went forward! It was a basic attack, but it was more than enough.
Good kid. Tennol nodded. It's time for you to get back some ground. He just needed to break his rhythm. However, this wasn't enough.
What else can you do? Isaac had taken a step away from him. But that was only for a second, as he went on the offensive again. Tennol understood Isaac wasn't going to give him any leeway.
Who was he? He was none other than a sword saint. It would be impossible to interfere with his movement.
Keith understood this as well, and he quickly charged forward. Even as he held the shield, he was quite a blur.
"Hah," Isaac chuckled, "Child, I commend you for your skills. But you're biting off more than you can chew." He was beating him left and right before. Yet, he wanted to fight him with his actual hand?
"I'm the one who gets to decide. And I doubt you can use your hand after I broke those fingers." Keith grinned as he slammed his spear on the ground.
"..." Dude had one crazy set. No one would dare talk to a sword saint like that!
"Keith is the craziest person I have ever met," Scarlet laughed as she held her head.
"...Interesting. Then make this fun for me." Isaac did what the child wanted and switched hands. His whole demeanor changed; that once aloof cloud had become sharp.
"I have to get-" Instant.
"!" Keith sidestepped. However, it was not enough; his left arm had a cut going through it. And that was not the end, as Isaac rained down even more pierces!
"Holy!"
"How are you supposed to do anything about this?!"
"It's impossible to block it!"
That relentless assault was like a leopard not allowing its prey to escape.
"Keith, you need to put up your guard or something!"
I'm trying! Keith was trying to do so, but each blow pushed his hand back down!
"You're good, but you're still too green!" Issac sliced at Keith's face. But the boy moved his head upwards, dodging. Yet, it struck his chin.
"It's over." A hit to the chin was just as destructive. And yet,
"You're standing?"
