Chapter 631: Reginald’s Trump Card

*FWOOSH!*

Winds parted as Reginald charged forward, his dagger glowing an eerie red.

The skill the older scout used was quite similar to one of Shye’s trump cards, [Nightfall Reaper], in the sense that it was silent as midnight.

However, just from one look, Shye already knew that the skill-infused dagger was extremely lethal, and it would probably take his life should he take it head-on.

’Hmm...that red glow probably enhances his dagger’s sharpness or something. However...’

Shye was honestly a bit disappointed.

If this was Reginald’s ultimate killing move, Shye thought it seemed a bit too weak, as there were several ways to counter it.

Even he had multiple strategies to handle it.

However, he wouldn’t express this directly to Reginald, as it would be unnecessarily rude. He aimed to humble the older scout somewhat but didn’t want to completely shatter Reginald’s ego and pride.

Thus, Shye decided to simply keep his mouth shut and deal with the attack.

’There’s no need to use my [Barrier of the Condemned] here...’ He inwardly thought, opting to [Blink] backward and exchange both greatswords with his ruby-tier elemental staff and his legendary adamantite-tier black shield.

’Fireball! Icicle Spear! Rock Bullets!...’

Shye then fired one basic spell after the other while retreating, causing all sorts of problems for the charging Reginald who had to sidestep, jump, and perform rolls to dodge.

Yet, strangely, there was no hint of panic or worry in Reginald’s face.

’Hmm? There should be a time limit for this weapon and probably attribute enhancement skill of his, no?’ He mused, continuing to fire spell after spell.

However, soon, Reginald stopped dodging his projectiles. Instead, the scout started to face them head-on.

He somehow magically sliced each spell apart as though they were nothing.

This unusual sight finally elicited a reaction from Shye, who was dealing with Reginald’s somewhat underwhelming killing move.

With narrowed eyes, he retreated further. Shye then used his trusty barrage combo.

Unfortunately, the results were the same. Each fire bomb and frozen thorn was sliced apart.

’What the f*ck?’ Shye inwardly cursed in confusion.

Naturally, Reginald immediately stabbed at Shye, confident that his dagger would land first.

With how fast his opponent currently was, Shye also thought that it was inevitable that he would be struck first.

However, it was of little consequence to him.

As the dagger approached, Shye activated his Impious Origin Belt’s skill, [Barrier of the Condemned], allowing him to easily receive Reginald’s attack.

He then grabbed the scout’s neck and ruthlessly smashed him onto the ground.

’Phew...that should do it...’ Shye inwardly sighed in relief.

There was no way that Reginald could’ve been conscious after such a violent blow to the head.

Unfortunately for Shye, not only was Reginald still conscious, but the chokeslam seemed to have had no effect on him.

Even more astonishing, he managed to pry Shye’s arms—strong as those of monstrous beasts—away from his neck.

It was simply unreal.

At that moment, Shye jumped back with narrowed eyes.

’Something’s fishy...’ He thought inwardly.

There shouldn’t be any skill or spell that could make someone this powerful so suddenly.

Unless...

’Ninth Devastation Ray!’

Swapping one of his greatswords for his ruby-tier elemental staff, Shye unhesitatingly fired one of his trump cards, aiming it straight at Reginald’s forehead.

It was a vicious move that would kill the young scout instantly.

However, despite being struck cleanly, Reginald merely stood up the next moment as though nothing happened.

Nonetheless, Shye was unperturbed. He then activated another of his killer moves, [Nightfall Reaper], and slashed his opponent’s head clean off.

Shye had clearly seen the head roll across the ground, so when Reginald stood up with his head intact, Shye finally confirmed his suspicions.

’Heh, I knew it...’
