    In that split one second, the rush of information that overwhelmed Raith was enormous, and not even he could process it all.


    To be better put, it was at that point that Raith stopped processing anything.


    [Due to passive skill ''Multiple Cognitive Resonance'']


    [Auto Battle mode has been activated]


    [Your mind will enter a battle trance ride where only the memory of your muscle and the maximum capabilities of your cultivated battle sense will be the operator]


    At that moment, the knight''s sword was a hair''s breadth away from connecting to Raith''s head.


    But all of a sudden!!


    WHAM!!


    A massive shockwave burst forth– but it was not because the sword shed Raith into two.


    "..."


    Raith had dodged the sword by just a little sidestep and was standing right beside the sword.


    The knight quickly jumped backward and crouched lower, in the darkness of its helmet was a blue me glow that surged ceaselessly as the knight fixed its gaze on Raith.


    The atmosphere was different.


    Raith''s gaze was different and the knight could feel it.


    "From here on, this battle will be different," Raith said as he stepped forward, step by step, slowly.


    The knight crouched, leaning his upper body forward, he ce his long sword over his shoulder and with his free hand dangling between his crouched legs.


    Thwuack!!


    The knight burst forward, turning into a blur...


    [Using Metavision...]


    [Using Ultra–Instincts...]


    Even though the knight could not be seen by a bystander because of his incredible speed, Raith could clearly see him.


    In fact, it was different, beyond being able to see him... his visual perception of the knight''s movement had be super heightened such that his eyeballs rolled in several directions in one second, searching for all possible attack route the knight could decide to take.


    This was all possible because of the new skill, even though he could determine all the possible routes, it was still another thing to make a decision because he couldn''t block all routes at the same time.


    At once Raith dashed forward with superhuman speed –catching the knight off guard, midway before he could reach him. Even though the knight was shocked, it wasn''t fazed and immediately responded with a downward sh from its shoulder where his sword was...


    "Just as I predicted..." Raith muttered as he effortlessly weaved the knight''s sword with a fluid movement and brought out a silver long sword from his inventory. With a flick of his wrist, Raith''s sent the sword spinning into the air, distracting the knight for half a second.


    That half a second was enough for the new Raith, whose thoughts were now being processed at a different pace, a faster pace than before.


    Heunched a surprise attack from the side, and his fist sted away the knight, sending it tumbling.


    For the first time, Raithnded a hit on the knight.


    He squinted his eyes and gave no space for celebration. Immediately, he sted forward, toward where the knight had been crushed into.


    He was almost there...


    Whish


    The knight suddenly appeared from his side— immediately Raith''s eyes widened.


    He spun, and as he spun his body ckened all over and blocked the knight''s arched sh– connecting another spinning kick to the knight''s head, causing it to tumble away again.


    Hended on his feet, crouched, and projected himself into the roof, plucking his sword that had hung there and shing down on the knight that was standing up.


    But the knight''s reaction was quick!<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    He blocked Raith''s sword with his and pushed him away immediately, causing Raith to hop backward.


    Raith could feel it, his muscles were being forced to act by something he couldn''t pinpoint. It was as if he was fighting and wasn''t thinking, every reaction was just right off the bat, some reactions were ording to made calctions which he couldn''t even give words to.


    The way his mind was processing all pieces of information that the sub-skills of Multiple Cognitive Resonance was something he could never have done.


    Besides, that kick just now. It was a momentary thing, if he was to act based on his normal judgment before now, he would simply fly out of the way while barely blocking the knight''s attack.


    But at that moment, he didn''t go for a block but rather a counter and for the first time took advantage of his defensive skill [ck Armour] to block while delivering an impressive kick on the knight.


    This was all possible because his mind could now perceive, process and execute information from a multi-parallel perspective.


    "Thou have changed. I have never had a human hit me once, I give thou thy praise. And for that, I shall bestow thou thy honor." The knight swung its sword and stabbed it into the ground. Then removed the clip connecting his blue cape to his shoulders, leaving the blue tunic around his neck that ran through the inside of the chainmail and came out in between his legs.


    "I am Briceus... and I am the lord of the northern front. I will put thy head on a spike and make thou blood run over it."


    "Yes...in your dreams" Raith grinned.


    Things were getting interesting!


    The knight grabbed the sword and–


    Whish!!


    He merged into the wind as he dashed forward with a splitting image of himself. But even Raith did not fall behind.


    [Due to the title effect, ''I am Suicidal'' all your stats will increase by +50]


    Raith charged at a blinding speed but the tip of the knight''s sword was already at his chest by the time he raised his sword towards the knight as both of them connected in the middle of their distance away from each other.


    [Using Lavaration...]


    ...the tip of the sword was about connecting to his chest, when Raith pushed it away with his right hand touch, leaving just a slight cut on his chest– he darted at the knight whose equilibrium was now shifted because of the abrupt push on the tip of his sword.


    The knight naturally faulted to the side which made it very easy for Raith''s silver sword to plunge into the eyes of the knight but before it could reach, the sword was broken by an uppercut that Briceus threw as he fully tilted to the side, and stumbled.


    "Tch..." Raith clicked his tongue and gritted his teeth.


    Briceus looked at his sword as he regained his bnce, the sword had corroded and the whole de had melted away, leaving just the hilt.


    "My precious Crystallight."


    "You broke two of my swords, I broke one... I should be the oneining, not you?" Raith said to Briceus who walked back to his front with a bent back as if he was going plunged forward like a monkey.


    But Raith stood there unfazed and his eyes deadly locked on the Briceus'' movement as the knight circled him with smooth, silent, and majestic steps. He finally came to a stop after one cirction.


    Thwoosh!


    Briceusunched himself at Raith, with a fierce punch, it was amazing how his speed seem to increase every time, even though he didn''t disperse into the wind this time. His punch came at Raith real quick even though every view before the [metavision] was slowed by 50% of the original movement speed– from Raith''s perception he had reached in front of him in an instance which meant if there was no [Metavision] Raith would have died before even knowing that he died.


    In response to theing punch, Raith deftly sidestepped and as Briceus'' punch few past him, he countered with a half-cyclonic kick that was supposed to smash Briceus'' head but the knight caught Raith''s leg just as it was a hair''s breadth away from connecting to his head.


    SMASH!!


    He flung Raith into one of the metal walls. Almost immediately, Raith was alreadying out, with his body all ckened from [ck Armour]


    "Troublesome... I have no time for thy effortless endeavor!"


    Thwauck!!


    Briceus dashed at Raith immediately– the two of them began to exchange blows, their fist flying through the air in multiple patterns. Raith''s eyeballs were always busy all through, moving in different directions, following the knight''s movements, while his hands were busy blocking and countering the knight''s fist attacks.


    Raith''s movements were concise and precise, and Briceus was no slouch either, his blows were heavy and powerful.


    However, Raith''s muscle was beginning to tweak at every defense, but he showed no signs of exhaustion. With slit eyes, he endlessly battered the knight and got done in the same way.


    Sweat dripped all over Raith''s face as the two of them stayed on that single spot, with their legs locked into each other and their fist flying through each other''s faces for the next twenty minutes


    At some point, Raith couldn''t afford to block anymore so he just continued to take the attack andnd his own attacks on the knight.


    His face was blood washed with peeled skin all over his face due to Briceus'' metallic fist, even Raith''s fists were peeling off as he punched Briceus.


    They continued like that for another long time, and by a long time, it was long enough for Mok Jae-Hwa to have entered the gate and also led to the hideout by Chunho.


    Mok Jae-Hwa gazed down at the cave with a frown. For a strong hunter like him, he didn''t need to get in there to know how bastardly strong whatever was in there was.
