Chapter 164: chapter 164- Challenge

"..."

Heard a man who suddenly appeared and suddenly ordered Taufik to do something, Taufik somehow felt annoyed, but there was some weird feeling inside his heart, it was like his blood was reacting to something, it's weird because this feeling only appeared when he meet a Vampire like him.

"... Who are you?"

Taufik asked that Man.

Hearing that, the man narrowed his eyes at Taufik.

"*Tsk* after seeing it again, I don't like you"

Said That Man, which got an annoyed look from Taufik who didn't get what that Man means.

"... I'm sorry? I know I'm Handsome but... I only accept Women"

Said Taufik as he looked at that Man with a disgusting look.

"Puff~ Ahahaha~ This man is so funny, Brother, hahaha~"

The woman who was with that man laughed while patting that man's back.

"Stop it, Amanda, stop it *sigh*...

Said That Man, then back to look at Taufik.

... You, do you know who I am?"

"Who? My son? I don't remember having a son as old as you, so who are you?"

"Puf~ HAHAHA~ "

Amanda just laughed louder than before, after she heard what Taufik said, Arden Archeart and the Tribe chief sweating coldly with what was happening in front of them.

A vein became visible on The Man's forehead because of anger.

"... Y-You... unforgivable... How dare you Insult me... I'll never forgive you... "

Said the man while looking down so that his eyes were not visible because they were covered by his hair; he then raised one of his hands up.

Looking at the Man, Amanda, and Arden Archeart's faces turned pale.

"B-brother calm down!"

"Yes, Prince, please calm down"

Said Amanda and Arden Archeart, but That Man didn't hear their warning and continued with what he was doing.

Sparks began to appear on his raised hand, and after that, a Condensed Mana began to gather in his palm.

The cold air began to be felt around; feeling this, Amanda began to panic and immediately screamed.

"Quick! quickly get out of this area!!"

Said Amanda, and the Archeart Family and Kel-Toi Tribe, without saying anything, Ran from this area.

"Brother Caldwell, you better know what you're doing!!"

Said Amanda before she also ran from this area following The Archeart Family and Kel-Toi Tribe.

"... EXCALIBURRR!!!"

Shout Caldwell, and then an ice block that fits in Caldwell's hand and is sixty centimeters long, and in the next second, The ice block cracked, and what appeared in Caldwell's grasp was a sword.

As the sword Appears in Caldwell's hands, the area around Caldwell has turned into an area filled with ice.

-----------------

"EXCALIBURRR!!!"

Taufik just kept quiet as he saw Caldwell shouting.

"Whoah~ What a fancy technique"

Said Taufik as he saw what Caldwell did.

"Sir, are you not going to stop him? It looks Dangerous"

Sylph on Taufik said.

"Why should I? It's look interesting, isn't it?"

Said Taufik as he looked at Caldwell with a grin on his face, and already took his Katana out from his inventory.

"... You Better prepare yourself!!"

Said Caldwell as he pointed his sword toward Taufik.

"Sure~sure~ just do your best"

"Y-You... Enough!"

Shout Caldwell again, and then a sword, which is similar to the sword in Caldwell's grip but made of Ice, begins to manifest one by one around Caldwell and stops after it reaches hundreds of swords.

"*Tch* why is it always this kind of move? Is there no others move others then created a Hundreds of sword?"

Said Taufik in a bored tone, but he still made some moves to Conter Caldwell's technique.

"Attack!"

Said Caldwell, and then that Thousand of swords began to move towards Taufik at the same time.

'SwordMagic Technique: Wind Form- Flow!'

Taufik said while swinging his katana toward the hundreds of swords then a strong wind was created that blew towards the hundreds of swords.

When the sword hits the gust of wind, the sword changes direction following the direction of the wind, but it doesn't stop there.

Taufik swung his katana again, but this time, he aimed it at Caldwell, and at the same time, the direction of the sword also changed direction following the swing of Taufik's Katana.

"... And Release!" Said Taufik.

Seeing his attack heading back at him, Caldwell made a surprised face.

"W-what?!"

Caldwell said and quickly stuck his sword into the ground.

"I-Ice wall!!"

And a moment later Ice rose towering from the Ground in front of Caldwell.

*swoosh!!*

The swords began to hit the Ice Wall.

However, just the ice wall alone is not enough to ward off all the swords, as can be seen from the ice wall which is slowly being eroded by the sword attacks.

Slowly but surely, the ice wall began to be unable to block the flow of attacks and began to hit Caldwell who was behind the ice wall, but the injuries caused were not too fatal and only scratched Caldwell's skin.

and after the torrent of attacks by hundreds of swords was over, Caldwell kneeled with his sword as support and blood all over his body and his clothes in tatters.

"... Huh? What happens to you? I haven't even started my attack and you're already like this, how funny~"

Said Taufik in a Mocking tone and smile.

"BROTHER!!"

Shout Amanda in worry after she saw Caldwell's condition. She then wanted to run toward Caldwell and help him but stopped as she saw Caldwell raise his hands and stop Amanda from approaching him.

"Don't come here! This is my Battel, Amanda, just keep watching me to remove the arrogant face from this man"

"But Brot-"

"I Said I can Handle this, Amanda"

Said Caldwell again while raising his voice which made Amanda take a step back.

"... You batter heard you Sister, Caldwell, there's no hurt in retiring but only a shame, ahaha~"

Taufik once again said to Caldwell in a Mocking tone and still with the same smile, which made him look like a villain in some of the tales who will be defeated because he talks too much, but that setting would not work if Taufik was the villain.

But Caldwell didn't reply to Taufik's words, but he slowly started to stand up

"I... I judge you worthy and hereby I Caldwell Alexander D'Archy Challenge you to a sacred duel, state your name, oh warrior that I the prince acknowledge"

Said Caldwell with both hands still gripping the hilt of his sword which was still stuck in the ground.

"!!!"

For the first time, Taufik showed a surprised face, shocked to hear Caldwell's full name.

"...D'Archy?"

"What's your Answer?"

Ask Caldwell again; ignore The surprised face that Taufik is showing right now.

"... I have many questions for you but...

Said Taufik then he also took a horse stance with both hands holding the handle of his Katana and raised it high until it reached the side of his cheek

... I will do it after I am done "Playing" with you... Thus I... Taufik D'Archy Hidayat Accept your challenge... come!"

# A/N- "I don't know if I describe the horse stance/kamar well enough and if you still find it difficult to Imagine it, I will pupictureses in the comment, just look at it"

*woosh!*

With that, Taufik and Caldwell disappear from the sight of others because they moving so fast that only their afterimages can be seen.

*clang!*

*clang!*

*clang!*

The sound of iron meeting iron was heard several times.

*clang!*

When the last chime is heard, Taufik and Caldwell reappear with their weapons, having already clashed with each other.

"... Huh?"

Taufik snorted in confusion as he watched his katana slowly freeze upon contact with Caldwell's sword.

"You have a good sword, but just having a good sword is not enough to defeat me"

Said Taufik, and then his blackish-green katana turned blackish-red; smoke began to come out of the Katana as the ice on the Katana melted.

Seeing this, Caldwell took a step back from Taufik.

"As I expected, your weapon is not just any weapon, but I feel you are holding yourself back... don't do that and face me with all your strength!"

"... All of my Strength? Don't joke around, boy, If I used all of my strength you will lose at our first clash"

"I don't care, just used all of your strength, I want to see how far I am below you"

Caldwell said, and Taufik, who heard that, let out a sigh and then directly sheath his Katana back.

"... Why you sheathed your Katana? Our duel is still not end or are you surrender?"

"No, It's already over and I won"

"What? Wha-...

Caldwell said, but he suddenly stopped because he felt a sting in his neck; without realizing it, Caldwell held his neck, and when he looked at his palm, it was already covered in his own blood.

... When? When do you do that?"

"The moment I sheath my Katana you already lose...

Said Taufik, when he sheath his Katana, in between those times, Taufik sent a non-attribute invisible sword energy towards Caldwell's neck, a sword energy which was enough to scratch Caldwell's neck.

... That's my full power"

"..."

Caldwell just stood there in disbelief at what had just happened, but the blood on his palms was clear evidence, so he couldn't deny it.

"T-this my lost"

"Yap~ enough with that, because I have many questions for you, so should we switch places?"

"... Yes, I also have some questions for you"

....
