My Glitched World Throne System Came Ten Years Too Early Chapter 119

[ … words ]

WHOOSH!

Roderic shot across the road.

The older knight’s eyes locked onto him instantly.

’Two seals,’ he thought, clenching his longsword tightly.

Blue aura instantly wrapped around his sword and legs.

He kicked off without hesitation.

Roderic’s eyes widened.

’Fast,’ he thought, instantly twisting his body.

The man reached him almost instantly.

SWISH!

His longsword just barely swept past Roderic’s body.

Roderic immediately swung his hooked blade towards the man’s exposed side.

The man snapped his wrist, instantly swinging his sword in the opposite direction.

CLANG!

Their weapons collided loudly.

’Technique,’ Roderic thought. ’But it’s not my first time seeing this!’

His second blade followed right after.

WHOOSH!

The older knight pulled his head back, allowing the blade to pass in front of him.

At the same time, his wrist flicked again.

CLANG!

His longsword struck the back of Roderic’s hooked blade, nearly knocking it out of his hand.

Roderic quickly took several steps back.

The older man quickly lowered his longsword before following up with a stab.

SWISH!

Roderic just barely raised his arm in time.

The knight’s longsword passed by underneath his left arm, scratching his clothes.

Yet, instead of pulling back, the older man flicked his wrist again.

WHOOSH!

The longsword suddenly shot upwards.

But Roderic was prepared for that.

The hook of his right blade was there, catching it.

Roderic instantly twisted around, his other blade heading straight for the man’s head.

’’Tsk.’’

Aura flared up underneath the man’s feet.

He pulled back in an instant, retreating several steps.

’’Strange weapons,’’ he commented. ’’You must be Sir Roderic Whitemane?’’

Roderic let out a small breath as he collected himself.

’’Yup, that’s me,’’ he replied. ’’But I’d be ashamed if you called me sir.’’

The older knight’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He raised his sword, slowly moving it around.

’’Is all of this your doing?’’ he asked.

Roderic’s grin widened.

’’Of course,’’ he replied. ’’Who else do you see here?’’

The older knight’s expression darkened before he slowly shook his head.

’’Dishonorable swine!’’ he shouted. ’’Do you have no regard for your father’s honor?’’

Roderic remained silent.

His grin slowly faded from his face as he locked eyes with the man.

’Honor? Again?’ he thought. ’Why are all these people so damn obsessed with that bullshit!’

He slowly raised his hooked blades.

’’Honor doesn’t matter for shit once you’re dead.’’

The older knight’s expression grew slightly red.

’’Spoken like a coward,’’ he said, raising his longsword.

Roderic let out a loud scoff as he lowered his stance.

’’Call me all you want,’’ he replied loudly. ’’I will win this fight no matter what!’’

BOOM!

Both shot forward simultaneously.

Within seconds, the two closed the distance to each other.

CLANG!

Their weapons collided again.

A golden aura instantly appeared around the tip of Roderic’s blade.

Without hesitation, he swung it towards the man’s legs.

But the man clearly sensed the dense amount of mana.

He lowered his stance, catching Roderic’s blade without letting the tip touch anything.

His right leg followed up immediately.

BANG!

It connected with Roderic’s hand, sending his blade flying.

Before his hooked blade had even hit the sand, the knight’s longsword shot towards him again.

’Fuck!’ Roderic cursed, knocking it away. ’It’s like he’s dancing or something!’

The older man’s wrist flicked again.

WHOOSH!

The longsword instantly changed direction, heading for his exposed shoulder instead.

Roderic jumped backwards, his right hand open.

SHHH!

The fallen hooked blade flew back to his hand.

A golden aura instantly lit up around its edge.

WHOOSH!

A wide golden arc shot through the air in an instant.

The older knight’s eyes widened, quickly pulling back his sword.

BOOM!

The arc collided with his sword.

Within seconds, the man’s boots dug through the dirt as he desperately blocked the attack.

’What the hell is this?’ he thought. ’Aura expulsion and attraction?! But he isn’t a three seal knight!’

His expression grew increasingly serious.

Everything he’d heard about Roderic was completely wrong!

Roderic didn’t give him any time to think.

’Third movement,’ he thought, clenching his blades. ’Dragon’s coil!’

Golden aura wrapped around his legs.

Roderic instantly shot forward, nearly doubling his speed compared to before.

The older man immediately raised his sword.

CLANG!

He caught the first strike.

With the flick of his wrist, his sword twisted slightly.

CLANG!

He caught the second attack as well.

But that was exactly what Roderic had been waiting for.

Both his blades twirled around to their hooked side, golden aura lighting them up.

’’You will not!’’ the old knight’s voice rang out.

Before Roderic could react, an aura-covered foot planted itself in his stomach.

BANG!

His blades lost their aura as he stumbled back.

The older man gritted his teeth, a blinding blue aura gathering around his sword.

’’DIE!’’

Roderic’s eyes widened as the man swung down the massive aura sword.

’I need to move!’ he screamed internally. ’Something! Stall!’

Almost on instinct, his right blade moved.

But instead of swinging it, Roderic let go in the middle of the air.

CLANG!

It flew up, slamming into the knight’s sword and knocking it slightly off-course.

At the very last second, Roderic threw his body to the side.

BOOOOOM!!!

The longsword slammed into the ground beside him.

Rocks and dirt exploded into the air.

The ground cracked from the impact, leaving behind a massive crater several meters deep.

Roderic rolled across the ground before quickly pushing himself back onto his feet.

Several meters away, the older knight ripped his longsword from the crater.

For a moment, neither moved.

’’Haa… Haa…’’

The older man was breathing heavily now.

Sweat ran down the side of his face as he stared at Roderic.

Roderic was doing considerably better.

His stomach still throbbed from the kick, and several small cuts covered his arms, but he still had plenty of stamina and aura left.

Even so, he didn’t dare underestimate the man.

The difference in experience between them was simply too large.

’Come,’ he thought, raising his hand.

SHHH!

Several meters away, the hooked blade lying in the dirt suddenly trembled.

The older knight noticed, his eyes lighting up.

As the weapon shot through the air, his hand shot out.

WHOOSH!

The older knight snatched it out of the air.

’’What kind of witchcraft is this?’’ he asked between heavy breaths.

Roderic’s eyes widened slightly.

But he said nothing.

The older knight seemed to understand and nodded once.

WHOOSH!

A bright burst of aura lit up the entire hooked blade.

Roderic’s expression changed.

PANG!

His connection to the blade shattered instantly.

The older man let out a scoff, no longer feeling it pull.

Then he tossed the blade aside like a piece of garbage.

’’That’s enough of your tricks,’’ he said.

Roderic stared at the weapon, unable to call it back.

Then his gaze flicked back over to the old knight.

’Clever bastard.’

He let out a deep breath before tightening his grip around his remaining blade.

Golden aura slowly gathered around its handle.

The older knight noticed and raised his longsword once again.

A wide grin spread across Roderic’s face.

’’I think I’ve got just one more trick in store for you.’’

The older knight’s eyes narrowed.

’’Then come!’’
