Chapter 83: – The Lord Is With Us (4)

༺ The Lord Is With Us (4) ༻

Battle Immersion.

A phenomenon in which one’s concentration reached its peak, heightening all the senses to the point time seemed to slow down. Even the slightest change in the air felt strangely palpable.

It was also known as the “Swordsman’s Time” by the elites who enjoyed close combat while surpassing the fine line between life and death. Just by the name, it was clear that many of those who have experienced this phenomenon were swordsmen.

Yuren, who was among those elites, began to feel the world around him slowing down.

A haunting glow flashed from his sword as it left a silver line from its sheath and straight towards Ian. It was a swift attack that shouldn’t have been possible to react to even if one were to divide the time into fractions of a second.

However, Yuren knew.

He had been spotted.

Before he knew it, Ian’s golden eyes were trained on his sword, and within the frozen time, only those eyes seemed to be moving.

Ian’s mood completely shifted from the leisurely calm he had while drinking tea. Flinging the teacup into the air, he struck back violently.

Clang!

The silver flash was met with another blade, sending sparks through the air.

The resulting impact caused Yuren’s sword to bounce back.

Yuren’s eyes widened in shock.

Even though he had struck first, the man had been able to react. It should have been impossible with the level of skill Ian normally showed.

However, Ian hadn’t just deflected his sword with ease, he had also drawn his hatchet in that short timeframe.

Yuren, having no idea what Ian’s next action might be, struggled to formulate a plan.

But Ian’s intentions were quickly revealed.

Without a hint of hesitation, Ian’s hatchet decisively cleaved through the table.
