Battle concludes

The elder vampire caught them off guard by suddenly dashing at Michael. 

Immediately Michael raised his sword to block the mace,

Boom!

The moment the sword and the mace collided, Michael's sword broke into 

Pieces and throw him backward a couple of meters,

"Now you pissed me off" seeing the broken sword in his hand, Michael growled. He loved those two black swords, and the elder vampire broke one like a twig with a single swing.

Now Michael had to forge or buy a pair of swords from the system for a ridiculously high price. The price was why Michael hadn't purchased a sword from the system. There were better choices in the auction houses than the swords in the system. 

Unfortunately, the system locked the ores behind an upgrade wall. So without upgrading the system to a certain level, Michael wouldn't be able to buy them.
