BXBX NOVEL Chapter 17 Max's Skill
\'These little shits!\' Galanar cursed in anger, seeing his team as disposable to Max and Ravenna. So, he sprinted as fast as he could to kill them.
Max also noticed Galanar\'s sudden rush. He had to admit that they were fortunate because the only danger he perceived was from Galanar, and he was the farthest away, close to the other side of the bridge.
\'Have to kill the mobs before he arrives.\' Max glanced at the four bandits running towards him. \'Fast, you have to do it fast.\'
Max didn\'t use the Purple Sun technique; instead, he went to use his katana only.
Max came before the man in front and evaded it by ducking down. He made a diagonal upward slash that cut the man in half.
Just after he killed that man, he quickly retracted back his katana and sidestepped.
Ting!
A sword flashed right beside Max, from which he could even see his reflection.
Max slashed diagonally to his left, killing the man who just missed his attack. Then, from the corner of his eyes, Max saw two bandits coming from both sides, trying to pin him.
Max didn\'t get fazed by that tactic. He ran to the man on his left, not even glancing at the man on his right.
That right man got surprised and got his guard down for a second.
Puchi!
At that moment, Max\'s katana came in, inserting itself into his head.
The left guy got angry, seeing his brethren dying left and right. He swung his sword at Max, who was right before him.
Max swiped his right hand upwards and from it, a purple fireball shot out which clashed against the man\'s sword.
Bang
An explosion occurred that made the man stumble backward. "Cough!"
Coughing up from the smoke, he waved his hand to blow the black smoke away. Just as the smoke cleared, the man saw Max above him, blocking the sun.
Max\'s stern face, his dark eyes that are of the abyss, his short, fluttering hair, and the way he came swinging down his katana; made the man feel a death demon god was coming for his life.
And he was right.
Puchi!
Max beheaded the man, bathing in the blood that sprayed out of his severed neck.
Just as Max landed on the ground, he swung his katana to the right.
TDing!
Max\'s body shot backward as his feet dragged on the concrete floor. Coming to a halt, he looked up and saw the bandit leader had already arrived.
Then he shifted his eyes toward where Ravenna was fighting. His eyes widened at what he saw.
Ravenna had only three men before her, and all were dead this quick!
Max shouted. "Ravenna, leave one alive!"
He couldn\'t let everyone die, as he needed one alive to extract information about this region.
"You little devil," Galanar rushed before Max and swung his sword in anger.
Max\'s eyes widened when his eyes couldn\'t even capture the shadow of the sword. \'So fast!\'
Max decided to attack with his instinct and swung his katana at where the attack might come from.
Ting!
Despite being able to predict the attack by watching Galanar\'s hand motion, he wasn\'t able to tank the force behind that attack.
Bang
Max\'s body smashed against the bridge\'s railing. Fortunately, that attack wasn\'t strong enough to break it. However, some bones on his back broke, which healed instantly.
\'I have to use a different tactic.\' Max pondered as he stood on his feet, looking at Galanar, who was only a few meters away.
[ Galanar (7th Stage Health Seeker): The bandit leader, known as Rough Slasher. He specializes in heavy sword play. ]
\'This isn\'t helping much, but it still lets me know how strong that guy is.\' Max thought as he dodged Galanar\'s attack by sidestepping. But he didn\'t have time to react when Galanar attacked again, and a chain attack followed.
Max dodged every one of them, pouring all of his focus and strength into it.
As Max danced around Galanar\'s sword, he started to feel Galanar\'s attack becoming more visible to him. \'Am I catching up to his speed? No! I am getting familiar with his fighting style.\'
Because of Max\'s analysis skills that he trained for assassinations, he was able to get accustomed to the things he experienced firsthand. It helped him to learn many things by finding out the root of the actions or objects.
Galanar also noticed this as his attacks went from missing by an inch to having a hard time catching Max\'s shadow. \'This bastard is learning very fast.\'
Seeing that he had only one man left and that he might even die if Ravenna joined in, he decided to use a move. " [ Great Mountain Slash ]."
Max had just taken a step back; he saw something brewing inside Galanar\'s sword as he did an overhead slash.
As soon as Galanar swung his sword, a brown aura in the shape of a crescent moon shot at Max.
Max felt an impending danger from that, and he also knew he couldn\'t dodge it as it was coming toward him at a rapid speed. \'I guess I have to try this.\'
On \'Black Sun\', purple thunder flashed, along with purple fire too. One had to know those two were hard to mix together, as Max had tried multiple times in the past. Because of their explosive attributes, they were hard to combine.
But he was trying to combine them now because he felt in his heart that only by combining those two could he tackle this attack.
To Max\'s surprise, they didn\'t explode upon contact. \'Success!\'
With that thought, Max swung his sword at the [ Great Mountain Slash ].
Boom
An explosion occurred that shook the bridge. However, Ravenna, who was watching from a certain distance, wasn\'t fazed much by it. She watched intensely to witness the awesomeness that her Lord, Max, would do.
The smoke and dust obscured Galanar\'s vision, so he didn\'t know what the result was. But he felt there was no way Max would be able to survive it. \'Now, time to capture that demon girl. I know the nobles will like to play with her.\'
However, just as he thought, from the corner of his eyes, he saw something flashing toward him…
