The tailed barbarian was surprised. However, it wasn't to the point that he failed to react. Before I could reach his position, his Domain that seemingly brought drought into the surrounding air slowed me down even if just by a millisecond.
Using that window of opportunity, my opponent twisted his body a bit to the side and raised his arm to block the impending Sword Skill.
Looking at how confident he was as though nothing could topple him, Momo and I couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Dodging the Sword Strike and catching it with his bare hands was nothing short of useless. Even if he recognized me as a Sword Master, the tailed buffoon still underestimated me because of the aura of a Rank 2 Transcendent in me. He believed that with the difference in UPL, he was still going to come out on top.
