Chapter 399: Decisive Duel

Seizing the opportunity, I charged at the Castellan. The robot emotionlessly raised the shaft of his weapon and used magic to conjure a new double hammerhead.

"!!!"

Before I knew it, the Castellan stomped forward and swung his hammer straight at me, with every intention to pulverize my skull into bone shards and brain matter.

I swept underneath the Castellan's attack, ducking under his massive hammer even as I sliced through his barriers with my two swords. The mechanized puppet's bulky weapon soared several centimeters above my face, almost ruffling my fringe as I slid past under it, as well as the metallic arms that wielded it. I could literally feel the heat flaring from the thruster-cannons on his arms – even though the beam cannons from Teresa's battle armor had fused with the Castellan's arms, they did not seem capable of ranged weaponry. Instead, the cannons served as thrusters to boost the strength of his mechanical arms and augment his physical blows.
