Chapter 18: Blood Work
" Impossible, this is impossible....to think General Gex has fallen "
General Tosu voiced out, he couldn't believe what he just saw, Major Saige engaged in an heated battle against General Gex of the Rav Tribe and after a few minutes of both swords clashing against eachother.
Only one stood victorious!
Major Saige stood before the headless corpse of General Gex with a smile written on his face, he placed his leg on the bodiless head, crushing it with his foot, men of Grigori roared out loud, they were scattered.
" What are we going to do about this? Lord " General Kitsu asked when he faced Lord Abraka Del Rosso, Lord Abraka remained quiet while watching the heated battle for a few more minutes before he went in.
Charging in with his horse neighing wildly!
His soldiers followed him, charging into the battle as well, they all had their blades unsheathed and ready to shed bloods!
[ On the walls of the Rutherford Barony ]
All saluted the moment Ser Tristan walked into the scene, standing on the wall while watching everything from above, standing beside him is Commander Dylan and the rest of the special knights and Majors.
" What's the current situation? " Ser Tristan asked.
" We are currently winning the war, Major Saige took down countless soldiers with his swift blade work, and he took down a general of the Rav Tribe, he is really a strong warrior " a soldier reported.
Ser Tristan wore a smile.
" Sure, it's thanks to my liege who gave us the chance to become stronger, to be his mad dog, Commander Dylan, as we planned....we are fighting the horsemen not the horses, we need those horses "
" So we should begin the fireworks already, Abraka is charging in " Ser Tristan spoke out, Commander Dylan turned when he noticed the incoming armies which were led by the charging Lord Abraka.
" That's true....your eyes sure are sharp " Commander Dylan said when he climbed the cliff of the wall, he could feel the fierce wind scattering dusts across the air when he leapt, he unsheathed his blade.
[Flashback]
" Shin Zuztu Sword Art? Isn't this too special? " Dylan asked, he is faced with Baron Kyle Reinhart who visited him on the Red Night, Dylan who's soaked in the bloods of his murdered families was stunned.
Baron Kyle handed a sword technique manual to him.
" It's quite special since it once belonged to someone whose strength is beyond the understand of humanity, the man who created this sword technique once ruled as the sword King in the Saturn Era " Kyle answered.
" The Saturn Era? What's that? " Dylan asked, looking stunned.
" There's no need asking questions of things you shouldn't know, I gave you this technique because I found you worthy of it, your aura is compatible with this sword art so you are the best user "
" With this....you will become one of the strongest and one of my favorite dogs, I won't teach you how to manifest it, you must learn it yourself....if you fail, be ready to slit your throat " Baron Kyle declared.
Turning his back when he vanished into the darkness!!
Dylan who remained on his knees faced the ground, he took a glance at the manual which was dropped on the ground, slowly picking the manual from the ground, he gently opened it up when he realized something.
[Now]
" Shin Zuztu first chapter: Splitted Heaven "
Commander Dylan chanted the moment he unsheathed his blade, he fueled his blade with his auras and he released a single slash, cutting through the reality itself, it created eerie waves of shock.
All that was seen was the color of black and white!
It came rushing, the disastrous effects of his sword attack, the burning waves which blasted the horsemen without hesitation, soldiers were burnt by the fierce radiating waves when Lord Abraka blocked it.
Countering it with his own auras!
He is a nexus being, those who reaches the fifth stage or star are given two titles, the second title but the most certified one is nexus, It's a title created by the emperor himself, and Lord Abraka is a nexus being.
He blocked the effects of the radiating winds with his auras which he wrapped around his body, Lord Abraka charged forward, running towards the direction of Commander Dylan who landed on the ground.
" It seems I became his target huh? " Commander Dylan said, with a smile seen on his face, he shealthed his blade, Ser Tristan descended down from the cliff of the wall and he made his landing.
His feets touched the ground, raising his head, he saw the charging Abraka Del Rosso!
" It isn't a lie that Abraka is a nexus being, but compared to us.....he is a mere small fry, I will handle it from here " Ser Tristan declared, he took a step forward, slowly unsheathing his blade, he walked passed Commander Dylan.
" Ser Tristan and i are the only nexus beings amongst the Liege's forces, and we both possess one of the treasured sword techniques he had in his possession, I'm curious to see how strong Ser Tristan is "
Commander Dylan said to himself!
" So you wanna fight me huh? I don't mind....I will kill you then kill him, it doesn't matter who come charging " Abraka screamed out, he stood on his horse back when he jumped down, he landed on the ground.
Releasing his auras into the air, he vanished from the scene, Commander Dylan widened his eyes in shock, he could see through the speed of Abraka!
Abraka appeared right behind Ser Tristan, bringing down his blade in other to cut Ser Tristan in half with brute force but Ser Tristan took a step, evading the blade that was unleashed against him.
Cutting through space itself.
" Hey blonde, just because you evaded my first attack, don't think you can escape my second attack " Abraka roared out, he twisted his blade, aiming for another brutal strike against Ser Tristan.
One could feel the terrifying pressure which was covered the air but despite everything, Ser Tristan remained calm, he swiftly blocked the blade of Abraka, both blades clashing caused an uproar.
Space itself was caught up in fierce collision and the air shook vigorously!
" I can agree that you are strong but do you really not have any sword art? are you a sword that just swings care free? what a shame.....you would have been the perfect challenge for me to test the limits of my power "
" As a fellow member of the nexus, you are a disgrace "
" Sun Convergence, first chapter: Hell! " Ser Tristan chanted, in that moment, the heat tremendously increased, everything dried up when the blade of Ser Tristan was caught in the heated flames.
Burning up everything beyond the realms of understanding.
" Wha....what...what is this? What is this power? " Abraka Del Rosso screamed out in pains when he was caught up in the flames, he burned, his flesh withered in the flames when Ser Tristan beheaded up.
Showing him the mercy of quick death!
" You asked what is this power? I do not know, a power which bypasses the law of nature and grants me the force of manifesting nature in my blade work, I don't know who created this sword technique "
" But one thing is certain....they once ruled the world a long time ago, I'm a simple dog, a dog does not question it's master " Ser Tristan spoke out, he slowly sheathed his blade back into his scabbard.
And the explosive flames vanished without a single trace.
" Huh? It's over already? It ended even before I had the fun of watching it, but it doesn't matter anyway, the death of Abraka means we have won back our stolen land, the Baron sure will be pleased "
" I know a dog shouldn't be too curious but who exactly is our master? or should I say, what exactly is the tenth young master? "
" I don't know why but I do feel he's an entity who doesn't belong to this world "
