The Second Son of The Marquis Runs Away from Home ~ Lacking Talent, He Abandons Everything and Becomes an Adventurer ~ - 190

Chapter 190: Pure Battle

Clashing with Lowd on the circular platform, we wielded our swords while maneuvering back and forth on the narrow surface.

Stepping in, I struck his chest with the hilt of my sword. As Lowd recoiled, I swung my sword, but he deflected it and punched me with his free fist.

Immediately adjusting my stance, I swung my sword again. Despite our swords intersecting many times, Lowd tangled mine and lifted it, then kicked me in the abdomen with his knee.

“Gu!”

As I rolled on the circular platform, Lowd swung his sword down at me. Despite being repeatedly swung within the confined space, I twisted my body to avoid it, then threw myself off the platform to evade a sweeping strike.

I hooked the edge with a chain attached to my weapon, then circled around to the back of the platform and aimed my spear at Lowd.

Lowd managed to evade the approaching spear, but as he used the chain to return to the platform, he grabbed his sword again and advanced towards me.

“Kukk…!”

With a smirk, Lowd took the blow from my swung sword, deflecting it with his sword imbued with light, then swung his sword down from above.

I blocked Lowd’s sword with my darkened blade, then as we separated, I swung my sword, releasing a dark slash. Lowd countered with a light slash, cancelling out each other’s attacks.

The clash between light and darkness created shockwaves that passed through, and we both wielded giant swords, but Lowd transformed his sword into a giant sword as well, creating a tremendous impact and roar.

The impact of the clash caused the area where the platform stood to collapse. As Lowd reverted his sword, he leaped towards me.

Backing away while blocking his sword with my shield, Lowd continued to swing his sword relentlessly.

“Hahaha!”

My arms began to numb from the continuous blows of his sword. However, as his sword was swung down with great force, I lowered my shield to deflect it, then headbutted Lowd.

I tackled Lowd, knocking him down, then swung my fist down. But after being hit several times, Lowd flowed with my descending fist, then directed his palm towards me, emitting light.

Dodging the released beam by a hair’s breadth, I was pushed away by Lowd as he stood up.

Grabbing onto the edge as I almost fell, Lowd swung his sword down at the hand holding onto the edge. Releasing my grip, I grabbed the edge with my free hand, then leaped up with “Wind Step,” kicking Lowd as I did so.

Facing each other again on the circular platform, we wielded our swords. Then…

The top of the tower trembled. As Lowd and I turned our gaze towards the tower, we saw a tower emerging with floating spell formations.
