Chapter 50: White Kraft

The large sword in Kuruma's hand had a slight change in color. A shade of white started to spread from the hilt to the tip of the blade. It was very faint, but still noticeable next to the silver metal.

'During its second phase, Kuruma is able to use Kraft, one of the Three Powers!'

Kuruma's humming intensified as it lifted the sword above its head, preparing to unleash the most destructive attack so far.

Kraft had the ability to coat weapons and objects with a layer of protection that was extremely hard to break through. It also increased the attack prowess vastly.

Kuruma's Kraft was at the lowest level, White, but the difference in attacks between Kraft and without was extremely vast.

After White, the next color would be Black, which would make the weapon even stronger and more durable. Then Purple, then Red, and finally Golden. Once one's Kraft becomes more powerful, the color changes.

In his previous life, Adam managed to reach Purple, which already made his attacks and defense extremely potent. With Purple, he rarely needed to visit a blacksmith to fix his weapons, as his swords and shields didn't receive almost any damage!

'White Kraft is at the lowest rank, but it still can slice through my shield like a hot knife through butter.' Adam lowered his stance, his knees bent, and his grip on the sword tightened.

-

In the control room.

"He has to dodge!" Ron shouted urgently. "If he plans to block the attack fused with White Kraft, the shield will break!"

"However, does he know?" Dakota said with a wry smile. "I didn't mention this part in my class for a reason. They have to learn this the hard way. There are some attacks that you shouldn't try to block."

Muriel nervously looked at the screen as Kuruma was about to launch its attack.

...

Kuruma, with a low growl, swung its enormous sword over its head towards the small human in front of it. While Adam was not short by any means, in front of Kuruma, he looked very small.

'What a powerful attack!' Ramon, standing on the sidelines, instantly felt that this was a different attack from the rest.

His senses were surprising sharp.

Adam quickly leaped backwards out of danger's way. He chose to dodge, much to the relief of many.

SMASH, CRACK!

The large sword sliced through the ground without any effort, shocking all the players. This was an extremely powerful attack.

At that moment, many broken pieces of the ground flew towards Adam like a flurry of bullets.

Adam quickly covered his body behind his shield and blocked the incoming projectiles with

ease.

If he hadn't done so, those broken pieces could've actually caused some severe injuries, especially since some of them looked quite sharp.

The large sword wasn't the only thing that could injure him. It was also the environment around him that posed a threat.

After the dust cleared, Kuruma effortlessly lifted its enormous sword. It didn't look happy that its attack had failed.

'I could easily combat Kuruma with speed, but I can't handle that in my current state. I don't want to exhaust myself and make myself an easy target.'

Adam thought to himself and then glanced towards the other players, wondering if any of them could be of any use. None of them seemed strong enough to take on Kuruma.

'There is only one thing I can do.'

Adam stomped on the ground and suddenly started running towards Kuruma, with the shield in front of him and his sword next to him.

Kuruma grabbed its large sword with both hands, raised it high above its head, and then swung it down with all its might. It was so big that it looked like it could cut straight through Adam and leave no crumbs behind.

At that moment, Adam's body leaned dangerously forward; it looked like he was about to trip, and as the players were about to cry in horror, he quickly rolled sideways out of the danger's way.

The large sword cut through the ground beside him, and Adam quickly put the shield beside him and blocked all the debris that came flying towards him.

Kuruma looked frozen as the sword was stuck in the ground, its arms trying to pull it out with all their might. Slowly, the sword started to get loose from the ground.

At that moment, a silvery flash appeared in front of Kuruma, and then a shortsword cut through the air and sliced through the hilt of the sword. It also managed to cut through a few of Kuruma's fingers.

The large sword, with its white blade, lost its hilt. It wasn't possible to wield it anymore. Slowly, the white color left the blade, and it turned a dull gray color.

...

"He sliced through the hilt?" Dakota looked surprised.

"He did it because now the sword cannot be used effectively!" Ron said excitedly. "Usually, the hilt is too small to be easily hit, but Kuruma's sword hilt was longer than most.

"In most cases, Kuruma would've just dodged the attempt on the hilt and blocked the attack with the blade. Now, it couldn't, as the sword was stuck in the ground. Also, because the hilt was made out of wood, it was easily the most vulnerable part of the sword.

"The hilt was the only part Kuruma didn't coat the weapon in White Kraft!"

"It is not wise to coat the hilt with Kraft." Dakota touched her chin thoughtfully. "It makes the weapon hard to grip, and it is easy for the sword to slip out of the grip. That's why none of the mercenaries ever coated their hilts in any Kraft!

"It is literally the only weak spot in Kraft and somehow Adam was able to replace it!"

"How the fuck did he do this?" Ron asked with a deep frown, staring at Adam on the screen. "Just who are you?"

...

"Attack!" Adam shouted.

Following that, all the players rushed like frantic animals and started delivering powerful blows across Kuruma's body. It was helpless. It was just standing there, trying to dodge

attacks, but to no avail.

The health dropped drastically.

Soon, the health reached 25%, and Kuruma let out a defeanening roar, surprising players. They realized that something was odd and quickly retreated.

Adam nodded at that. It was wise to retreat if they weren't sure about what was going to happen. To them, Kuruma already became stronger once suddenly, and now it looked like it had another phase in store.

At Kuruma's palm, a flickering fire appeared. It was small and seemingly harmless, but then the flickering fire turned more prominent and burst into a soccer-sized fireball.

'Now, in this phase, Kuruma has the ability of Magick!' Adam thought to himself and had already moved into his position.

"H-hey, I think what is happening!" Seth shouted from the back of the players. "I think it is using Three Powers! First, that must've been Kraft. You saw how its attacks became so much

stronger. Now, it is clearly using Magick!"

'Oh, he noticed it-not bad.' Adam chuckled.

"I think you're right." Donald said with a nod. "Be wary of long-range attacks. I think it can hurl those fireballs at us. Spread around; don't clump together!"
