Long Since Broken the Sound Barrier (Chapter 181)

Rumble!

Oscar shot up to the height of the rooftop and locked eyes with him.

“W-What?"

Had he been too careless?

Clenching his teeth, Dirje immediately kicked off the ground and dashed toward the rooftop of the adjacent building.

‘Where is he?’

As he turned to glance behind him,

Oscar was already right at his side—keeping pace with him.

‘…He’s matching my speed?’

Impossible.

He was currently using the full abilities of Carva, the fastest knight of his time.

‘I’m even pouring mana into this without holding back.’

In other words, it should have been impossible for some level-4 mage to keep up with him.

And yet, no matter how sharply he changed directions, Oscar stuck to him like a shadow.

“...You insolent brat!”

Dirje activated six circuits simultaneously, causing his mana to surge explosively and boosting his speed even further.

By now, he had long since broken the sound barrier.

‘With this, I’ll be rid of him for sure.’

Just as he was about to feel certain of his escape,

Rumble!

That same familiar thunderclap roared in his ears.

‘What? No way.’

Even this speed was being matched?

As Dirje instinctively turned his head to look behind him—

“Caught you.”

Kwaaaang!

Oscar’s heel came crashing down on Dirje’s head.
