CHAPTER - 18 - GODLY WARRIOR V/S THE HEAVENLY SWORDSMAN

After relaxing his mind by forgetting his volcano of negative thoughts, Jonas charged towards the bed on which the king of the holy land of Milo Azaloth, the low level god and high level heavenly swordsman, who was once a guard of the king of heaven, was sleeping. He attacked the bed and he saw that Milo was sleeping on it but, the next moment, Milo was off the bed. It all happened in a blink of an eye. Normal people would have been unable to see it but the person who was the opponent of Milo wasn't an ordinary person. He was also known as the godly warrior and he is also the one who has conquered all the 4 major elements. Milo looked at the person who was standing in front of him as his white hair shined brightly. Milo, without stuttering, said with a serious yet surprised tone,

"Who the hell are you?! What are you doing in my room?! What happened to my guards?!"

Jonas smirked and directly looked into the eyes of his archenemy. The atmosphere changed completely. The tension built up between them as they stared at each other. It felt as if the time was stopped their by itself. That was the most silent night that Milo had ever experience. The same went for the person who stood up like a demon in front of Milo. That complete silence was disturbed by a drop of sweat which fell from Milo's forehead. The 'drip' sound changed the complete atmosphere of the situation. As the situation was too awkward to be able to put into words, Jonas got distracted by that drop of sweat. His eyes changed the direction of focus from Milo's body to the ground for less than a second but that was enough time for a heavenly swordsman and a low level god to reach its target.

Milo leapt towards his opponent while he projected the spiritual sword which was sealed inside him since his birth. The sword was wide like a western sword and it's blade was shining. The edge of the sword was so sharp that it could even cut an elephant in two halves with one slash. He used a lot of force on his sword. He tried to slay the person before him, who had a killing intent, without caring about the damage which would happen to the castle if he used his sword carelessly.

However, even though Milo was a heavenly swordsman and had amazing speed and incredible power, his attack was blocked by the shield of Jonas, which was created by his Earth elemental magic and forged his shield even stronger by enabling his dark energy to float into it. Milo backed off immediately after his heavenly sword was blocked by the dark stone shield of his opponent, which he was facing at the current moment.

Milo thought to himself,

"Who the hell is he?! He blocked such a strong attack of a heavenly swordsman, who was once a personal guard of the great king of heaven! Such incredible strength! I guess he is stronger than my son-in-law! How did he get so strong?!"

Jonas watched Milo's facial expression of surprise and gave a small laugh and said,

"My name is Jonas Zel Schneider. I am the conqueror of the four major elements, which, namely are, Earth, Air, Fire and Water. I am also a master of dark arts, which is my personal abilities. I am really impressed by your sword art. What do you say if I show you some of my sword work? I have many skills which were granted to me unknowingly with this dark ability of mine. Forging objects with the help of my dark arts, is a skill of mine."

Jonas raised his hand forward. He started forging a sword with his dark energy in his right hand. The sword which was forged using his dark energy was covered with dark mist and Milo knew it instantly after watching Jonas' sword, the person standing before him, who his known as Jonas, might be the greatest and strongest opponent that he had ever faced.

Jonas rushed towards Milo with his dark sword. Milo tried to dodge his attack by having a belief in his incredible speed. Once Milo dodged his attack, he found himself standing in water, which almost filled the room. Jonas looked at his condition and said,

"The mouse is in the trap! Wrahahaha!!!"

Milo looked at his face and said,

"Hoh! What do you think you have achieved just by filling this room by water using your elemental magic."

Jonas replied,

"This was just to decrease the speed of a fast bastard like you."

Milo said,

"Hah! Don't you think that your speed will also decrease?"

Jonas replied,

"I am not a fool, like you. I have already given a thought about it. Take this!"

Jonas raised his hands backwards to increase the force in his next attack. He brought his hands forward at high speed and tried to attack Milo while the ground below Jonas was water free and it was higher than Milo's ground. Milo didn't wasted any time in thinking and instead of dodging, he clashed his sword with his. Even though Jonas had an upper hand in strength, he wasn't as good as Milo in sword arts. They clashed their swords many times and each time, Milo increased his speed and strength. While Jonas started getting a little slow, Milo didn't wasted a second and cut off Jonas' hand with his heavenly sword. The blood fountain made the entire water red. Jonas held onto his arm tightly and started laughing maniacally.

"Wrahahahahahaha!!! Wrahahahahahahaha!!!"

After that he said,

"Looks like fighting a heavenly swordsman who has ascended to the path of a lower god was a really bad idea, heh?!"

Milo looked pitifully at Jonas and said,

"Even if you regret fighting me now, your crimes won't be forgotten. You need to die in order to reestablish peace. There is no escape or retreat for you."

Jonas stopped laughing and said while clinching his fists hardly,

"Do... You... Really think... That... I... I! Will escape?!!!"

After shouting this, he landed a strong blow on the ground and castle's floor on which they were fighting got destroyed.
