章 143: That Was Intense.

He began to fashion a buckler. Something much smaller, more compact, and more difficult to use. The large shield will allow for some errors in accuracy and precision while the buckler won't. This will make the already tricky parrying even more challenging. The advantage of the buckler is that it is lighter and can be used with only one arm so he can wield two at the same time.

"Let's go" He cheered himself for another run.

The sixteenth run ended in another failure. The tongue attack struck the buckler and shattered it along with his arm. Then it went on to pierce his chest. It is the first time he suffered such a defeat on the very fir titan frog attack. He had been able to resolve it the first time he encountered the attack without any prior knowledge of it. So this failure was worse because he had been prepared for the attack.

"I just have to get the hang of it." He said while his eyes burned with determination.

"I also have to make stronger bucklers."
