Ex Rank Supporting Role’s Replay in a Prestigious School

Baek Ho-gun recognized that the great sword I was holding was Baek-A.

First, I disrupted his composure, even if only for a moment, and made a move.

But this wouldn’t last long.

As expected, Baek Ho-gun quickly returned to his usual emotionless state and added strength to the hand gripping the great sword.

In that moment, the blades facing each other suddenly became heavy.

‘Heavy...! Even with Baek Ho-gun’s power, it’s like this?’

I hadn’t fully realized it before, since I’d been fighting so well, but it seems that the debuff from Baek Ho-gun's divine beast status is significant.

If I were fighting the Wung tribe or their allies, I could probably get permission from the Divine to lift the debuff and fight.

Of course, the Divine wouldn’t grant such a favor while Baek Ho-gun was facing him.

If it were a pure power battle, I’d surely lose, so I let the blade slip sideways as soon as we clashed, and Baek Ho-gun stepped back and lowered his body.

‘A stance for leaping. He plans to disregard me and join the boss enemy immediately.’

He’d pretend to give me a chance to survive but then try to kill me, and even though he’d set up for a fight, he’d turn around to join his friend.

Baek Ho-gun of this era spared no means when it came to fighting.@@novelbin@@

Perhaps because it was a time when mere strength couldn’t guarantee survival, it seemed to have made him even more ruthless.

I could deceive most opponents, but I had sparred several times with the White Tiger who was stronger than Baek Ho-gun, so I could read his moves.

Thwack!

Just as Baek Ho-gun was about to leap, I targeted his foot and swung Baek-A.

Baek Ho-gun immediately stopped and lowered the great sword to defend.

As Baek-A struck low, it shone briefly, and the ground seemed to turn pale for a moment.
