Chapter 992: Finding Kiran (1/2)

Saber Monarch and Kiran both looked at each other as they took out their blades. The whole atmosphere turned sharp around them as their auras raged.

They channeled their energy into their blades and they glowed brightly.

Kiran was the first one to make a move and he swung his sword directly aiming at Saber Monarch's neck.

But the Saber Monarch didn't even dodge, he swung his saber, standing in the same position, and cut the incoming attack in half blocking Kiran's advance prematurely.

He didn't follow up with a counterattack and just stayed on the spot letting Kiran take the offensive.

The audience looked at the battle with excitement. Sam and his team are also observing the whole scenario carefully.

Out of the whole team, Saber Monarch is currently powerful as he stayed in the peak stage for a long time and should be on verge of a breakthrough to the Transcendence stage of Astral Plane.

And Five elemental King would only come second to him. Then comes Jwala and the twins and finally Agar.

Agar who knew that she is completely weaker than the rest didn't feel any pressure as she already accepted that fact even before the journey started. But the same couldn't be said to the rest and even the Five elemental kings who is the epitome of patience felt a little pressure from Saber Monarch.

So, the whole team is currently interested in knowing what this new addition ranks at and how strong he would be.

It could be said that he would rank above the twins as his cultivation stage is higher and since he is also a one in a thousand talent just like twins, it would be hard for them to kill him. But between Jwala, Five elemental King, and Saber Monarch, where would Kiran rank? This question is on everyone's mind.

But from the looks of it, it would be hard to find out as Saber Monarch who is the strongest of them all is not giving much to measure.

He is completely on the defensive and it is apparent that it is by choice.

He is fending off every attack that came at him and he made all of Kiran's efforts useless.

Kiran is also getting frustrated as he attacked more and more and he learned that it would be difficult to penetrate that defense at this rate.

He became even more aggressive and directly let his guard down. He kept on slashing down without caring for his defense and even used his legs to kick and force Saber Monarch into action.

Saber Monarch clearly noticed the change and it became a bit difficult to keep the same stance anymore and he had to finally move and as soon as he moved, the audience felt like they saw a completely different battle.

Kiran is still aggressive, but this time it didn't look like Saber Monarch had the upper hand, rather it felt like he is struggling to block and defend the attacks.

This is all because of the unique technique Kiran uses. His swordsmanship is different than normal and it focuses more on the moving objects. When the opponent is moving, h would have more advantage. And if the opponent is not moving and rather stayed stable with a proper defense, they would have a better chance at fighting him.

Saber Monarch observed this from the previous fights and noticed that defending is easier when he stayed still. But he couldn't get the grip of the whole technique to completely be invulnerable. That is why he lost his footing and moved.

But still, Saber Monarch is very skilled in battle and his instincts are top-notch, He was in too many life and death situations for him to fall just because of a technique.

After a few more exchanges, Saber Monarch was still on the defensive and all of a sudden, he took a step back after defending the strike and sighed.

Kiran felt the change in Saber Monarch's disposition and made his move, but this time he couldn't reach Saber Monarch and before he knew it, he felt a sharp sensation on his gut.

Before he knew it, Saber Monarch is standing behind him with the saber which has a faint trace of blood on its blade.

The wound is not too deep, but it is not too light either.

Saber Monarch smiled and raised a hand before saying.

”I forfeit.”

With those words, he left the stage.

Kiran looked at him in shock.

”Wait. WAIT. WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING? THE FIGHT IS NOT OVER YET.”

He yelled at the top of his lungs and ran after him. But the referee stopped him in the middle and announced him as a winner while Saber Monarch left the arena.

Sam and his team also left the arena.
