61 61 - Event Part 04 (1/2)

”Let the battle begin!”

After the judge said that sentence, Aatrox found an opening in Dylan's posture.

Having a large constitution, Dylan was probably either a Nodachi user (swords large enough to be held with two hands) or a shield user. From the scars on his body, Aatrox figured he'd wear a shield.

When he did not accept Aatrox's suggestion to pick up a gun, Aatrox thought he would have to give him another warning, as this was just a friendly battle.

After finding the opening in Dylan's posture, Aatrox used a skill he had acquired in his old life, [Spiritual Sword], that skill was learned by virtually all high-level sword users. It was a skill that allowed the user to invoke a spiritual sword to act as a true sword when the user was not in possession of any weapon. The sword was usually very fragile, when compared to a sword of divine level, but compared to these mortal weapons, it was as if it were made of Adamantium, a metal that Aatrox had seen portrayed as very durable on the internet.

Although for Aatrox being only on the Knight level he could not exercise the full power of this sword, he believed that it would be enough to deal with Dylan. For normal people, it would seem that Aatrox was holding an invisible sword, but for cultivators, it was as if he was holding a mass of almost invisible energy in the shape of a sword. The bigger the person's cultivation, the sharper the sword Aatrox was holding.

He only had time to do that during the battle, because Aatrox made it possible. He didn't want to fight with fists, since he had already fought with Anthony earlier and didn't want to hurt Dylan before he could get his weapons, so that the fight didn't get uninteresting.

When Dylan felt the weight of the sword hitting the shield that was attached to his wrist, he finally took the battle seriously. Just this strike had put a lot of pressure on him, pressure that he only felt when he was fighting with his older brother.

After this strike, Aatrox retreated and looked at Dylan with an inexpressive look.

Dylan seeing it opened his mouth and said. ”Thank you for not hindering things, sorry for underestimating you, let's start the real battle.” He said it while his eyes radiated intention of battle.

Aatrox seeing those eyes can't help but get excited and a small smile appeared on his face. The female cultivators who were watching the battle with their eyes glowing could not help panting after seeing that smile on the swordsman's face.

Aatrox without showing mercy started attacking Dylan. In the beginning Dylan was managing to defend himself with ease, but when he realized that Benjamin was increasing his speed and he hadn't even started to sweat a little, he started to worry if he would win this battle.
