Chapter 24: Party and Duel - Final Part

I stared at him for a second and noticed that he is not affected by the effect of the [Tidal Wave]. I am freaked out for a moment but immediately regained my composure and observed Anselmo very carefully.

He dashed towards me with his other self but since I have a special eye, I can see through them.

It is similar to Bryan's clone technique but at the same time, different. The feeling is definitely different.

Since I know who is the real one, I will let him dash at me.

When he is 6 meters away from me, I raised my sword as if I am going to practice sword.

Anselmo immediately felt something is wrong and deduced what is that attack. He didn't stop but continued and when he reached my range, I swung my sword from top to left, diagonally.

Anselmo thinks that the attack will be a slash forward but diagonally, he got tricked.

He immediately blocked my slash and retreated a few meters back.

"I didn't think that it is the attack that defeated Willy earlier, Ain's technique!" I got annoyed on that sentence and replied with a tone of annoyance, "That is not Ain's technique, it is Xeros' sword technique!"

"Eh? Ah, it seems like there is a story from here" He said as he stared at me with his awareness is at the max level.

'It seems like he knew not to chatter much at the battle and stayed alert but he is still noisy!' I said to myself as I sighed inwardly and started dashing towards Anselmo, [Xeros Moon Style: Unhindered Night]

I said as I leaped towards him and slashed him horizontally. He blocked it perfectly but it seems like he is underestimating me. He didn't even try fighting me seriously, it made me mad a little bit.

"Hey, can you fight me seriously?" I said with a straight tone, shocking everyone in the arena. 'They are already impressed on the first clash but they can see more?! Is that what I think they are thinking'

Anselmo is also shocked that he noticed that he is not fighting seriously.

"Well, then... [Anselmo Breeze Technique: Wind God!]" Several slashes in the air that came from the sword is heading towards me.

[Scott Myriad Style: Steady Block]

I used Lucy's technique as the slashes are heading to me. The other slashes passed through beside me while the others are blocked by the sword I am using.

Everyone is dumbfounded as they recognized that technique. "That is Scott's family technique! Frightening." Anselmo said subconsciously.

Unlike in Wuxia novels, everyone in America respects one's talent and lets them do whatever they want with their talent. That includes martial arts. That is why there is no probation for copying another martial art.

I dashed towards him and used our family technique, [Xeros Moon Style: Moon Rim!]

The wind from nature itself without aura destroyed the ground we are standing to in a straight direction ranging from the user to 20 meters. It causes a minor earthquake.

Anselmo leaped out of the ground and used another sword technique, [Anderson Breeze Technique: Meteor Impact]

Anselmo used an attack similar to the meteor that going to hit the surface and destroying everything within a 5-meter radius. It caused another minor earthquake that made the audience more entertained.

I also noticed that the people from another hall including my parents immediately checked the situation here and they saw us fighting in the arena.

Father didn't notice me seeing him and I stared back at Anselmo who is in the middle of the crater that he created.

We didn't exchange another word and immediately dashed toward each other with our own sword skills.

[Xeros Moon Style: Moonless Night]

[Anderson Breeze Technique: Eternal Force]

My vertical attack clashed with Anselmo's horizontal slash and continued the battle by continuing clashing each other's swords.

'Ugh, I used all the techniques of my family. Should I use the ultimate one? No, not now!' I said as I continued taking the attacks of Anselmo.

I retreated for a few meters away and said, "[Anderson Breeze Technique...]"

Anselmo retreated as I smirk and continued, "[...Wind God]"

Several slashes that came from my sword came out and I directed them at Anselmo's spot and continued, "[Anderson Breeze Technique...]"

As I jumped up, Anselmo noticed the familiar stance in the air. Not just familiar but it is his stance.

A meteor-like attack hit the ground, creating another set of a minor earthquake.

"So you are using our techniques to defeat us. What a frightening ideology..." He said while grinning and said, "Then, let's fight very seriously!"

He dashed towards me while muttering, "[Anselmo Hidden Technique: Church of the Night]"

I also dashed towards him and used a technique that uses a domain, "[Plane Domain]"

Everyone is dumbfounded, especially Fred Dwaine who showed off this technique.

I knew that Anselmo is using a domain so to counter that domain, I used another domain to not getting restricted inside his domain.

I used another sword technique and said, "[Plane Domain] + [Vengeful Wights]"

Not just it became black and white but the voices are also inside the domain. 'What a good revision!'

I said excitedly as I used the technique of Willy Huston where he slashed vertically with a zigzag pattern.

Anselmo noticed it too but his sword is already clashed with it, making his grip loosen, and eventually, the sword will fall.

Now, he has no weapon.

I used another combination technique and muttered, "[Dwarven Steel] + [Berserk]!"

Anselmo is speechless, his face is basically telling me, "What the f**k!"

Anselmo blocked my first strike with his bare hand and continued blocking every random attack from the [Berserk] of Zero Daille.

At first, I thought that it is hereditary but when I awakened my auras, I realized that it is the combination of fortifying, manipulation, and nature-type aura. Making a technique [Berserk].

I am dominating the battle but Anselmo didn't falter and when a slash is about to hit him, he didn't block it but dodged it, reaching out to the sword that I made him drop earlier.

'That is a mistake of me...' I said to myself as Anselmo used another technique, "[Anderson Ultimate Technique: Wind Domination]"

It is similar to the [Wind God] but it is more powerful and the amount is so much than the [Wind God]

"[Thompson Light Technique: Holy Barrier] + [Scott Myriad Style: Steady Block] + [Xeros Moon Style: Blessing of the Moon God!]" I ultimately used three barriers and then several attacks hit the barrier and it didn't even make a dent.

That is a perfect opportunity for creating a plan. Looking back from the previous battles and their battle style.

...

...

'Ah!' I immediately remembered the technique of Yuno, the [Transfer Technique]! I stared once again at Anselmo who is still standing and didn't make a move, the attacks are all coming to me.

'Since I didn't know how to make space storage and create an object out of my aura, then I can't do the unlimited trick... if only I have dag...' I immediately remembered the gift of Falcon to me.

'The daggers made out of bone!' I said excitedly inwardly and I acted like I am about to fall on my knees but I am going to get my daggers secretly.

It is for three purposes, making everyone think that I am going to surrender, taking the daggers hidden in my socks, and making Anselmo's guard lower.

I successfully took the dagger out of my socks and immediately threw it to Anselmo.

Anselmo obviously dodged it but at the same time, he is surprised that I still have an attack from him. I noticed the way he dodges, he is always looking at the weapon, that is why, he looked at my dagger and when he looked back, I am not inside the barrier anymore.

Everyone is dumbfounded and surprised.

I transferred behind Anselmo and leaped with the [Assassin Step] that Falcon made me learn earlier.

Then I used a technique that Bryan used that made Cera lost and at the same time, Bernardo family's deciding move, "[Assassination Technique: Cascade] + [Revised Compressed Arrow]"

I used the dagger that I threw to slash downwards as I compress the energy of nature in the dagger. Making a good combination of compressed assassination dagger technique.

Anselmo didn't notice me coming because of the [Presence Manipulation] that Falcon gave me earlier from a piece of a patch of paper.

I slashed him downwards but I only wounded him. And then he immediately retreated to his technique he is using earlier that gave him the burden of not moving. It is a technique with a weakness for the user.

Anselmo immediately tried to use another technique but he failed because I already have a technique in my hand. I said with a smirk, "[Anderson Ultimate Technique: Wind Domination!]"

The technique that stopped me earlier will now be going back to Anselmo.

Then he blocked every single one of them because I only used the technique for 3 seconds that made 15 slashes in a second. If I used it for too long, I won't move.

Then, I used a deciding move. The ultimate technique of the [Xeros Moon Style]

"[Xeros Moon Style: Moon Descends]!"
