No More Tricks
After saying that, Jay started to increase the pace of his attacks while maintaining the 1-meter distance between Arcane and himself.
The attacks were fast and Arcane could barely shield himself from the attacks while using the long sword.
It is said that the blood sword gets bigger, heavier, and stronger as it drinks blood, but that doesn't mean that it provides no side effects!
As the sword got bigger and heavier, Arcane's speed started to decrease.
Probably that was why Jay allowed the sword to get some of his blood. It was perceived as a mistake by the others, but it seemed as if it was planned, after all, he was trying to overthrow Arcane with his abnormal speed.
But Arcane wasn't that weak. His strength was one of his remarkable features so an increase in the weight of the sword was not that much of a burden to him.
It felt like nothing changed for him, of course, the change might have been negligible but it was surely present.
