CLANG—!
A muffled clang rang out. Leonard's expression changed instantly, and he quickly put more force behind his hands.
During their brief exchange, he had judged Lin Mo's Strength to be around 100, which was why he had evaluated him as not being much weaker than Deke.
'It seems it's more than that now?'
'No, it must be the bonus from this Epic Weapon...'
Leonard continued to increase the force in his hands. Lin Mo gradually felt the pressure, then suddenly changed his move, twisting his sword to deflect the force and thrusting toward Leonard's chest.
Leonard was extremely experienced in combat; naturally, he wouldn't be hit so easily.
As Lin Mo adjusted the angle of his sword, Leonard had already anticipated his intentions and dodged in advance, effortlessly evading the counterattack.
