Book 1:Chapter 22: Swift Schwert

Inhaling deeply the guy wearing the red robe with dragon crest made an incantation gesture, after that with a grabbing gesture in his hand manifested a red spear. The edge of the spear it pointed thinly but doesn't look weak and at the edge of the tip of the spear you can see sharp spikes like a teeth of a beast. After rotating it around his body the opponent the gripped the spear both hand then his battle aura rose, you can see actual red aura radiating from his body when he holds the spear with two hands.

"Let's see how long will you, I admit it's been a while since I brought up my spear. Now entertain mo till I'm satisfied bring out your weapon." The man said.

If before he's strong even without the spear now he's even stronger probably 3 times stronger on regal estimation, but what made him more dangerous is the skills related to spear he can use.

Regal then took a deep breath raise his right hand opening his hand then suddenly made a grabbing gesture and slashing it sidewards directly sprinting forward while grabbing something using his left hand, the sight to be hold by that simple gesture made the onlookers gasped. As if this isn't a battle but a painting, the black long bar and it's read linings on top of the beautiful red lotus of the scythe. After he slashed it sidewards made small moon like arch the outer layer is red while the inside of the moon is black complemented by the dust and soul floated.

"Tsk, using flashy move won't make you strong. I admit tho that weapon is pretty good looking that suits me more." Said the man in red robe.

He also sprinted forward meeting regal head on, he gripped his spear tightly stabbing it forward straight aiming directly at regal's face.

Of course his stab is easy to dodge in normal circumstances but that's his true goal, to make regal dodge then follow up by a skill he already prepared.

Regal at this point smiled which make his opponent flinch, but still continue the stab because at this point take a step back might put him to more disadvantage.

Why did regal smile at that moment? Instead of dodging he slashed the scythe upward, parrying the stab before it stab straight through his face. The stab then got redirected a few inches above regal's head, regal then ducked because he knew his gamble payed off! He smiled because he knew that his opponent that he would dodge. But what he did was parry leaving his body open, but regal threw something from his left hand the ground he picked up from his earlier flashy move.

Of course this made the opponent stunned silly, on a battle there's no right or wrong but he didn't expect on using soil being thrown at his face. Regal then followed up by letting go of the scythe giving an enemy a spinning low kick that hit the enemy's side at the spot of the abdomen. Using the same spinning motion he grab the scythe then continue to rotate and slashed making an arch slash.

A few inches away from contact with his opponent body the opponent suddenly said.

"Warrior's Valiant!" With that his foot directly landed on the ground rooting his self like a tree immovable then around him a circular transparent barrier that blocks attack from all side. Because of this skill the attack of regal got parried and then he flew back stabilizing himself looking over with shock.

Warrior's Valiant skill- A skill open to all warrior letting them be like an immovable tree planted on the ground followed by a circular barrier that blocks attack all over the user by a certain damage threshold.

This skill is like an anti cc, or combo breaker of the opponent often used in dire situation.

The opponent now looking at regal with dread and fear if he was a second too late he might been chopped already. If not dead heavily injuring him and needing to use heals or precious potions while everybody's watching, for him is extremely shameful thing specially for such a big lvl gap. lvl 125 vs 65 is really shameful.

'And he didn't even use any skills at his disposal' Thought the enemy.

It's not like regal is saving his skills but even now he still doesn't have a skill that he can use freely. He does have a skill but he can't even activate on his own, tightly gripping his scythe before launching an attack again regal heard the man talk.

"You gut skills it's a waste at the skill of you caliber to go to waste, why not join our ranks and be a soldier for our Dragon empire? You will be living a life with benefits you won't lose out anything." Said the main in the red robe.

Of course regal wasn't sure why did the man extend the offer to him, so he must have a position in an army. To be honest if he did accept there's no losing situation for him.

But after remembering how haughty he had been and what he did to Mad monkey of course he can't accept. For him this is a matter of principles.

"Sorry but I have to refuse and leave you no choice bur continue to fight me" Regal said and smiled.

They exchange blows several back and forts the other getting advantage and disadvantage. For regal this is an experience he needed to be an expert and grow stronger, but for the man in robe the more tenacious regal become. The fear of losing made his decisions sloppy because not only his image, his position and pride are being compromise by a low leveled man. With the possibility of defeat because he can't even see regal use skills. He knew that the system won't let you reach pass lvl 50 without even a single skill, in that sense he's not wrong, regal did have a skill it's a growth type that he can't even use at will tho.

...

While their exchange continue another man with the same robe as regal's opponent silently crouch towards mad monkey. While everyone watching with amazement because a battle this intense at this level difference. Even if the battle is not that great in terms of scale it's only because of both of them are low level. Yes for most of the people heee came from great empires, big clans, big guilds and organizations. They definitely saw higher leveled that this guy but to see intense low leveled fight is rare.

Of course the princess in the palanquin and his men are also watching, but when he noticed one of his men is missing, which she knew that adept in scheming and concealing his presence and to top it off he's an extremely close to the same man fighting regal.

She scanned the surrounding with her brow knitting together forming a furrowed she gaped in shock, when she saw him silently moving in the grassy field unnoticed towards mad monkey that also watching the fight. Before he can send her warning to mad monkey, she saw that the man smiled wickedly stopping at an appropriate distance to throw a dagger.

Mad monkey sense this but only a meter away before he can react. Regal saw this and his eyes constricted but it's too late to help, of course his opponent saw this opening and smiled. This his chance but even still regal perception is strong he manage to deviate the strike on hitting vital point but nonetheless hit him.

But at this moment Mad monkey gaped in shock, he saw a figure blur parrying the dagger he saw a man a few inches in front of him. The man looks young and frail with skin like jade his hair is color white his brows is thick that made him look sharp, and his tall nose looking elegantly his frame is tall probably as tall as regal. And also as handsome as him but with a touch of elegance, he looks like a prince of germany back on earth because of his looks and his clothes. And on his right hand holding a golden cuphilt rapier matching his blue royale clothe with red cape.

"Dragon empire is it? Isn't it a bit shameful to do surprise attack like these you see?" The man in royale robe said and asked.

It's now at this time regal's opponent got stunned for a moment and got his by regal, he doesn't have a strong perception like regal but he has plenty of experience so he dodge a vital strike from regal. But not faring much better.

The man who sneak attacked and threw the dagger furrowed his eyebrow and a sense of dread crept in. The man is definitely a higher level than him. But he can't see the level of the man, maybe the man wears an item that blocked others from gathering information.

"You ask my name are you even worthy? But very well people call me Swift Schwert" The man smiled.

When mad monkey heard this he was shock he knew a bit of German because for him it was cool to pronounce so he often practice on earth.

He then asked the man. "Swift Schwert as in swift sword? Is that what you meant in German?" Mad monkey asked.

The man was also shocked that he knew the meaning of schwert. "Yes so you know your stuff let's talk later, I have question to ask" Schwert smiled then look at the man in red robe with dragon crest.

The pronunciation of schwert is unusual but because of the system no matter what language they can understand the language but how they say it or what language is still the same.

For example Schwert means sword in German, he said Schwert but people understood it as sword even if some used different language. What made the man with rapier interested in mad monkey because he knew that mad monkey isn't bound or part of the system yet. Above his head said "Mortal outside the system."
