Chapter 197 < Advise - 'Samurai Hearts' Arc (8) >
“Uryaah!”
Ootakemaru was the first to attack.
He roared and swung his Daitouren!
The blade, imbued with the powerful energy of the monster, sliced through the air with a threatening whoosh.
Dohyun didn’t dodge.
He simply raised his sword diagonally, just like before.
Like when he first faced Ootakemaru.
Saaak-
The moment the blade of the Daitouren met Dohyun’s, it flowed smoothly along.
‘Deflection’!
It was a technique considered a weaker version of ‘Parrying’, but anyone watching wouldn’t dare think so.
How could deflecting an attack with that much power without taking any damage be considered a weaker version?
“Kyaha!”
Kwaga gagak!
-Godly Deflection
-But why is he using that instead of Parrying??
-Ootakemaru can’t be parried
-Really?? That’s OP;;
-That’s why he’s one of the hardest bosses along with Sword Saint
The cleverly deflected blade scraped the ground.
The force was so strong that the Daitouren’s blade ruthlessly tore up the earth.
But Ootakemaru didn’t stop.
Leaving the Daitouren stuck in the ground, he thrust the Shotouren—which was still the length of a longsword for a normal person—in his left hand at Dohyun.
Just like before.
‘If I respond the same way…’
The same result will repeat.
Instead of the sword in his right hand that deflected the Daitouren, Dohyun skillfully thrust the sword in his left hand.
Like the Daitouren, the Shotouren flowed along Dohyun’s blade, stirring only empty air.
