Chapter 52 - Aura Manifestation [6]
The moment the words left my mouth, Lucas swung his sword at me.
I quickly blocked the attack.
Chang―
'…Imperial Standard Swordsmanship?'
After blocking several of Lucas's following strikes, I realized it.
Simple yet sharply precise movements.
It was indeed the sword style known for its low difficulty and commonly taught to soldiers.
I didn't know why Lucas was using it, but since it was an easy style to counter, I could block it without too much diffi—
"Hm?"
Suddenly, Lucas changed his stance.
He gripped his sword with both hands and raised it over his shoulder.
That stance… I had definitely seen Eleanor use it before.
Before I could even react, Lucas's sword came flying at me.
I instinctively lifted my sword to block—
Boom―!
"Ugh?"
Even though I blocked it, the impact forced me back several steps.
It wasn't as overwhelming as Eleanor's strike fueled by Blood Energy, but the sheer destructive force of the technique was immense.
