Andres

Since that day Dawn practice a sword style using a wooden sword that he made using the wood that he pick up.

He is practicing his sword in backyard where no one is here.

Dawn is practicing the "Demon Slayer Sword Style" it is a sword style that he originally learned after conquering the third tower of the Seven Great Tower.

this sword style hit the vital points the demons including the higher rank demons.

This sword style was their nightmare.

*Whoosh*

every slash he make seems like cutting the air and every moves he takes was so smooth and he looks like dancing.

When he is about to end his practice to help his mother a young man appeared in front of him.

"Are you the one who hurt my mother?"

he looks calm but his voice is cold and Dawn can feel his anger.

He must be here to revenge his mother.

"As a son of noble I cant just kill you, it will be bad for my reputation after all."

after saying that he threw a real sword to Dawn and threw his gloves.

"That is why I challenge you to a fight. Of course I will hold back as a handicap. I wont kill you, a few bones would be enough to ease my mothers anger and mine as well."

He already unsheathed his sword and make a defensive stance.

"I will also give you a right to attack first."

Dawn remember him.

Andres Lecram.

The official Son and successor of Lecram hosehold.

He is prideful man but stupid. When the Lecram territory got attack by the demons he and his mother was the first to leave the territory with almost half of territory knight with them.

Arvin and his knights fend off the demons to give more time for the citizens to escape.

His mother, Diwa and Dawn also got left behind but Arvin take his horse and give it to them and said

"I apologize for all those years of suffering. You must protect your mother...son"

after saying that he hit the horse top make it run, her mother was crying but did not say anything.

The anger rise up if only they did not become selfish and tried to hold a little then the reinforcement will arrived and the casualties will be lessen but they choose to leave their responsibility.

What noble? you are just a trash.

Dawn pick up the sword and make a stance.

He focus his mana to his feet and arms then.

*Fwoosh*

He accelerate to where Andres standing

Andres was surprise by Dawn movements. He never thought that this commoner can move this fast.

But as a promise he must take Dawn blow so he prepared to take the blow but when Dawn was one feet away from him he suddenly stop.

Andres frown when he saw this and lower his guard but that is the worse thing he make infront of Dawn.

Dawn rushed seeing Andres lowering his guard and hit the hilt of Andres sword that make it drop.

*clang*

Andres dropped his sword and a cold blade was near into his neck.

"You cheat!"

He exclaimed, he never thought that Dawn would se such tactics but he even hate himself because he fell for it.

"If we are in the battlefield do you think that you can complain to your enemy like that?"

Dawn spoke like he had been in a battlefield. He draw closer the sword towards Andres neck

"If we are in war, Youre already a cold body."

His voice is cold as ice and his eyes does not show any emotion either.

after saying that he thrust the sword to the ground that almost hit Andres feet.

Only a fool would let his enemy take a first strike in a serious battle.

Dawn leave dumbfounded.

His silhouette getting blurred little by little until Andres cant see even a bit shadow of him.

he clenched his fist.

"That bastard!"

He also thrust his sword on the ground. He never thought thata he will lose to a person who only wield a sword for a while.

Its a big shame!

"You will pay for this!"

Then he left the the backyard

***

One week was already past since that day.

Dawn did not see Andres or even his shadow.

He must be planning something to get revenge

He is not the type of person who will give up that easily.

Dawn did not think any further, he just have to beat him when the time comes.

Right now his strength is comparable to mid grade silver rank

An individual strength was rank from lower to higher

Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond.

Every ranks has a three stage.

Lower, middle, and HIgh

A bronze rank individual can face a three normal citizens at once.

A silver rank can face a five bronze rank at once. it is the strength of majority right now.

Gold rank can be a lord to minor cities. they are strong handle the mess in the city as long as they are not platinum rank individual.

Platinum ranks individuals are the lords of the Major city. Right now there is only three major city that is under the protection of these platinum rank individuals.

As for the Diamond rank there is currently none in Maharlica continent.

Diamond rank might be the strongest to the human but not in the demons.

Dawn look at his body and decided.

"I will go to the forest of darkness."

In Maharlica Continent there are four forbidden forest.

Misty forest

Forest of death

and lastly black forest or forest of darkness.

it is a forest covered by the black trees, black soil and black water. all things that belong to that forest is black thats why human called it black forest.

and now Dawn will go their to take a things that he needed for his journey.
