The Mech Touch novel Chapter 2910

Chapter 2910: New Moves

A rush of white fog surged forward as if it wanted to engulf Ketis!

Though the woman wondered how she was supposed to block an incoming attack when she was unable to maintain vision on her opponent’s sword, an even greater priority occupied her mind.

"Eww! I am not about to let you submerge me in your own sweat!"

Disgust and indignation welled in her. Although she was not a woman who cared too much about girly stuff, there were some lines that shouldn’t be crossed!

"Get away you disgusting creep!"

Her greatsword resonated with Sharpie and her will. A sharp energy formed around it, which Ketis quickly launched forward with a simple slash.

This was the Beheader, a simplified version of the Executioner technique!

The sharp and thin energy wave she unleashed did not possess the grandness of the original technique. In exchange for giving up a lot of power, the Beheader condensed a lot faster, demanded much less energy and did not require as much concentration.

However, as her sword energy attack entered into the foggy cloud, nothing happened. It was as if the attack she unleashed had disappeared.

"Huh?"

The Cloud Cascade had already rushed up to her! Ketis had no choice but to set her bewilderment aside and enter a blocking stance while she hastily stepped back.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Ivan’s fencing sword spontaneously emerged out of the fog and slashed at Ketis from different directions.

There were two reasons why Ketis managed to block the incoming blows despite the lack of time to react.

First, her large and wide greatsword could cover a lot of angles without needing to move too much.

Second, Ketis relied on her intuition and other senses to determine where Ivan would launch his next attack!

While this sounded easy, Ivan put Ketis under a lot of pressure with this move. It was several times harder to fight against an opponent who was able to keep his body hidden!

The properties of the cloud surrounding Ivan were too strange. She knew the fog didn’t consist of ordinary sweat.

"I need to blow it away somehow!"

Yet when she thought about which technique she could utilize to remove the annoying cloud screen, she came up empty.

None of her attacks was able to affect such a large area!

As Ketis continued to remain on the defense, Ivan slowly gained momentum. Since this trick was effective against his opponent, he had no reason to drop it at this point!

Seeing that Ivan was more than willing to stick to a single winning strategy, she grew more grim. She jumped back and executed another Beheader!

Even though she swore that Ivan was hiding in the fog right in front of her, when her quick energy attack sank into the cloud without generating any sound, she became dismayed.

There had to be a way to deal with this odd technique!

She unleashed a couple of more Beheaders. However, it seemed that each of her attacks missed Ivan again and again.

Not only that, but as time went by, the cloud continued to expand. It first encompassed a width that was just thrice Ivan’s body. After a minute had passed, it was as wide as six humans standing side by side!

"Damn! Did your entire body transform into sweat or something?!"

Of course, Ivan was not stupid enough to respond and give his position away.

After Ketis unleashed her fifth attack, she suddenly frowned.

What was she doing?

Why was she wasting her energy on ineffective sword energy attacks?

As her rationality reasserted itself, she realized that she had fallen into a trap. She allowed herself to get swept up in her heated emotions. While that was usually not a problem, this time she had unknowingly entered into a losing exchange!

So far, aside from generating and maintaining his so-called Cloud Cascade, Ivan had done nothing but approach and launch some simple attacks behind his unique form of concealment.

From her understanding of energy, she recognized that Ivan was actively channeling his will over an area around him in order to maintain his unnatural cloud.

Therefore, under the premise that she could not eliminate him in her current condition, her best choice was to stall and adopt a more conservative approach!

Though she felt tempted to switch to annihilation mode and release a glob of annihilation energy, the move was quite wasteful. It wasn’t worth it to expend so much effort to get rid of some trivial sweat.

Ketis decisively drew back. This forced Ivan to move forward, dragging his misty fog with him if he wanted to remain under concealment.

She grinned. "Huh. So that’s how it works."

The sight encouraged her to keep stepping back and avoiding a confrontation. She made conscious use of one of the conventional dueling rules. Since her loadout was heavier, she was under no obligation to approach her opponent.

It was different for Ivan! If he did not actively engage Ketis in combat for a certain duration of time, then he would forfeit the match by default!

Normally, this shouldn’t be a big deal for a swordsman who possessed superior speed, but the problem right now was that he had to expend a lot of effort to bring his cloud forward!

Eventually, Ivan recognized Ketis’ solution and the futility to fight against it. He retracted his will and let his sweat dissipate.

Ivan huffed and breathed heavily. His skin was still red from discharging so much sweat at once. Even though this action should have cooled his body down, Ketis could sense his body was still in an overheated state.

"You should lie down and take a rest." Ketis kindly suggested.

"Ah, this is nothing but a warm up to me. I didn’t think you would be so clever. Every other swordsman I confronted with this move in the past tried to do their best to break it by force."

"Well, now you know what it is like to fight against a mech designer. Dispense with the tricks!"

Ivan smiled as his battle intent grew stronger despite his failed gambit. "As you wish!"

He darted forward in a familiar oblique fashion. Ketis had to move quickly in order to block the incoming attack.

Clang!
