Chapter 158: Conclusion (3)
Arial shot out internal energy with his palm to Alderam head. Alderam saw it and he countered it by trying to cut off the oncoming palm attack with his sword.
The energy gets distorted and did not reach him. Enochian steel even deters internal energy attack. Truly the weapon of Gods! But Arial grinned in satisfaction.
'Finally' He muttered
Arial with his profound internal energy flicked Shadowslasher to its side while he backed off, landing on the ground a safe distance from him as his troops cheer at him again.
Sweats are formed in his forehead, dripping down from the side.
He nearly died a couple of times when he clashes with Alderam, Alderam who he never fears suddenly turned into a formidable enemy armed with that weapon.
Arial could see that his internal energy attack rattled Alderam.
There is strong vibration from the steel almost causing him to drop the sword. The air is fill with tension and the swirling internal energy in the site of their battle is suffocating.
They all can feel it.
In the distance, Kyle looked at the battle, his eyes are like the hawk
'See that' he said to West. West looked scrutinizing at every movement of Arial and Alderam.
'This sequence of events really is beyond belief.' Kyle said as he looked all around him. West nodded while still looking at the battle.
All the troops are gasping each time Arial nearly get attack like they are witnessing the battle of a lifetime.
In a few moments Alderam has launched countless of attacks, each one deadly accurate and yet each one is dissipated effortlessly before Arial who escaped each time.
The attacks were rough and brutal, the escapes are swift and clever. The troop's heart almost flew out from all the action.
No one ever had seen anything like it before. No one ever feel anything like it before. Attacking like a storm while evading like clouds.
Just as booming thunder and lightning, even when it's over, it sends chills down to the spine. Kyle heart is jumping all over the place.
For the first time he sees his friend seriously fighting. Usually, he knows that Arial never did go serious because most of his adversaries are lower level than him.
But seeing Alderam with the Enochian steel in his hands Kyle understand why Arial need to go this far.
Enochian steel is the stuff of legends. Rare and very powerful.
'During the last strike Arial was being overwhelmed' West said on horseback while his troops are guarding him
Like him, West troops are also looking at the battle but taking a lot of distance fearing what happens before will happen again.
They do not want to become a collateral damage of the battle between their young lord and Lord Alderam. That would be a meaningless death
'Yes' Kyle replied 'But he hesitated. Must be because of that sword'
West nodded. He too could understand. Enochian steel is not something you see every day. Kyle keep looking at the battle, his heart is beating furiously.josei
'You must win this battle, Arial'
On the other hand, Arial is still fiercely fighting with Lord Alderam
He twisted his hand again and release his internal energy.
One of his troop sword flew off from his sheath and flew toward his hand. The moment he does it, he felt the pain in his strikes him again.
Is he overexerting himself? He asks himself. The pain comes but Arial immediately held it back with the pure force of his energy
He looks at his troop and shouted
'I will borrow this' he yelled without looking back while his face is contorted by the pain. But he tries as hard as he can to hide that pain. His heart feels like it is giving out.
'My pleasure, my lord' Arial hear the yell from behind him
Looking at that sword glimmering with powerful aura, Arial know that only another Enochian steel can fight equally with Shadowslasher.
Every time Arial slashed the Enochians sword, his sword will shatter into hundreds pieces. It is too powerful and sharp beyond belief.
Maybe the story of Levitia cutting mountain using Enochian steel is not so hard to believe now. Arial look at Alderam and started forming strategies in his head.
He knows he need to be aggressive and unrelenting and don't let him take any initiative if he is to end this fast. The pain in his heart is worsening.
Alderam is still circling Arial as they now moved in circle, looking at each other. Fortunately, he did not see Arial scrunching his face in pain before.
If not, he surely would have exploited that and made deduction about Arial true condition right now.
Alderam hesitated to attack Arial right now, because he almost let go of the sword from the sheer strength of Arial internal energy.
Alderam is worried that if he makes a rash move it might lose him the sword. Alderam knows it is only that sword that make Arial cautious
It is also because the power of that sword that he could contend with Arial equally.
Arial on the other hand, had finished planning in his head. He knows he must use Wind God technique to confuse Alderam and not slow down.
Maybe an opportunity will open for him and he can snatch the sword from Alderam hand.
'Here I come!' Arial suddenly yelled
His foot moves forward and gust of wind accompanied him as Arial employed the Wind God Technique
He with his dazzling footwork dodges Alderam straight thrust and paper behind Alderam back. Arial eyes shined. He pointed his finger as energy shoots out from his finger.
It is the Sword Finger technique. The sword intent coming out from that energy could cut through metal.
Alderam was flustered for a bit but he did not lose his wits. He deflected the potent and sharp stream of energy using Shadowslasher.
The energy ripples and fizzles out. But some of the energy split off and shot to a few soldiers near the battle.
The energy pierced through their leather ammo and they were thrown back from their horse, as they died writing in pain on the sticky red ground.
As this was happening Arial increases his speed to confuse Alderam.
'More speed' he thought to himself.
