Within ten seconds of the rapid exchange, Ian had slain Viscount Avak twice, but he was far from relieved.
Because he had already guessed the principle of the Viscount's resurrection, he also knew that the number of times the opponent could be resurrected was probably in the hundreds, if not thousands... What's more, as the Viscount's mastery of the Dead River Armament deepened, along with the full recovery of his strength, his power only grew greater.
There was now a bloody gash on the palm of Ian's sword-wielding hand, and both his shoulders and spine felt numb, only for the Ghostly Regeneration Core to mend the wounds... If it weren't for his foundation as a Rock Cast Knight, he might have fallen into disadvantage during those few seconds and hundreds of full-force sword clashes.
Of course, in the end, it was his superior skills that prevailed, albeit by a narrow margin.
"What power?!"
