Overgeared: Transmigrated as a Super Named NPC but also a Player

Chapter 20: Sword Saint (2)

Looking at Lexus who had the slender egg-shaped face, lips and eyes that were popular among women.

"Shit… he was handsome…"

Because of his past and how he was discriminated due to his looks, Greed disliked handsome and skilled people, so his favorability towards Lexus dropped exponentially.

Greed swung his great sword at Lexus, but Lexus changed the sword like a dagger back to the reverse as naturally as flowing water and blew the greatsword with the Blight of Misery.

Wobble.

As Greed whose center of gravity was shaken, perhaps because he attacked forcefully. Lexus looked at him and calmly stabbed him in the neck with a sword.

[You have suffered 2,800 damage.]

[You have been shocked. You will be unable to move for 1.5 seconds.]

[A legend doesn't yield easily.]

[You have resisted.]

[The Apostle of Justice’s bravery is unmatched.]

[The Apostle of Justice is in a crisis. You won’t easily collapse in front of the enemies.]

[All stats will increase by 30%.]

Carelessness is never an option. Any person who had clutched a sword in their hands would have had these words hammered into them over and over – yet things like this still happened.

There were occasions on the battlefield of war where knights who had reached the ranks of generals or commanders – would lose their lives to the spear, sword, axe or any weapon of a mere footman. Of course, these situations did not unfold in a one-on-one scenario; but the conditions call 'war' have a diverse plethora of variables.

Although Greed had reached new levels and had become a legend, he was yet to garner enough experience to be aware of this. The flow of the duel was already tilting completely in Lexus' favor.

'What is this damage!?'

Greed knew that it was just a basic attack. He was on a completely different dimension from him. Greed relied on his newly obtained skills however, Lexus didn't use any skills. He just fought against Greed with his sword skills yet his damage almost killed him.

Klang! Kah kah kah kah…

'A fearsome strength! I am armed with the Frostlight Orc Chief's Helmet and Khan's Masterpiece, but I still received this much damage!'

Greed was already at level 97 after raiding Malacus and his strength stat is now at 824 which an ordinary level 97 player shouldn't have. Though it was already impressive to have this strength stats before being a level 100, Lexus' base strength stats was already on par with Greed's, just slightly superior to Greed's who was a level 97.

Greed immediately drinks a healing potion and aimed for a counterattack. His health which was at 10,016 was almost depleted by more than 1/4 of his health with just one blow from a basic attack. He was angry inside because he was attacked out of nowhere so he let the rage inside him to be the fuel and attack. The more Greed repeated his flurry of attacks, the weaker his attacks became.

"Hup!"

Twoong!

Now going beyond receiving and deflecting the attacks, Lexus deadlocked their swords and started pushing his opponent back. Lexus was testing how much energy his adversary had left before he was to begin his own assault in earnest. Seeing Greed unable to stand his ground and pulling back, Lexus became surer.

'It seems he's quite drained. Should I slowly start pushing for the victory?'

Greed's stamina stat is way lower than him even though Greed was at level 97 because Greed mostly invested all of his stats points to strength and agility. Though his strength stat was at 824 which was already amazing if compared to his level, his stamina stat was at 571.
