บท 143: Checkmate

Wrik found more confidence in himself as he could use the [Eye of Insights] now. With his vision being clear, his perception was heightened as well. Even though he still could not use his mana, this ability gave him enough stability in the battle. 

The spear and sword met in the air again. Wrik did not linger on each clash, moved every time his opponent had a chance to deal a blow to him. In between, all the attacks he made were on the lower body of Arjamith, though the enormous man had blocked most of them with the spear. None of them was successful in dealing a fetal blow that could win them the duel.

In the end, Wrik did not run away like in previous times. Not because he had bought the time that needed for the success of his plan, but because he wanted to see how much progress he had made so far. He could not always win with the brain—brawl was another kind of strength. A primal kind that cancels any kind of scheme.
