Chapter 624 - Fight with Their All (1/2)

”ALICE!” Nico, her father, yelled when he saw the other members attack Alice.

Tommy hurriedly stood in front of Alice. Using his sword, he blocked their attack. Sounds of metal clashing filled the entire courtyard.

Deflecting their attack, Tommy didn't stop there. He moved forward and struck those who attacked him using the blunt side of his sword. They were all members of the hidden clan, so he couldn't possibly wound them.

”I'm okay!” Alice replied. Her fingers were holding onto several beads. They were all the poisons that she had prepared beforehand. Even though their effects were only sleeping or paralyzing, they were usually enough in the fight because she never needed to fight for long.

”That's good…” Nico relaxed slightly. When he saw that, Ayres charged forward, nearly catching the middle aged man unguarded. The two of them exchanged glances as they moved their weapon and started clashing once again.

”Tommy, help father!” Alice instructed.

”What about you?” Tommy was stunned. If he went over there, Alice would be alone, facing the barrage of attack of her own clan members.

”I'm okay,” Alice put on a reassuring smile on her face. She raised her hand, which was holding several beads. ”I can do this.”

”Are you sure about this?”

”Trust me, I can fight too. After all, I'm the Hidden Clan's Princess,” Alice smiled brightly, reassuring the young man before her.

Tommy frowned for he was worried about her, but he solemnly nodded his head. There was no time for this. He had to help Nico or the other party wouldn't be able to contend against Ayres.

”I'll be right back!”

Charging back to Ayres, Tommy accelerated his speed. He swung his sword and crashed with Ayres, who blocked it using his hand. Blood flowed out from his hand, but the man just smirked.

”Do you think this is enough?”

Tommy's face paled. He attempted to move back, but the man had swung his arm. The force nearly sent Tommy flung away far back if not for his excellent reflex. He spun midair and landed on the ground.

His knees were shaking at the force he had to contain when doing the acrobatic movement. Focusing his attention to the man, he gripped his sword harder and stomped the ground, charging straight to Ayres once more.

”What a foolish boy,” Ayres mocked.

He swung his hand again as Tommy got closer. Sidestepping to the side, Tommy barely evaded the man's attack and swung his sword.

Tak!

It crashed to the man's arm and Tommy's eyes widened in disbelief. His strength was barely enough to leave a scar in his skin. In fact, it might even just a graze from the way it looked.

”Tsk,” Ayres clicked his tongue and swung his arm to Tommy's direction.

Bam!

It landed on the ground as Tommy managed to retreat. His eyes were filled with deep fear for he understood that he was not the man's opponent. However, he knew that he had to prolong the fight as long as possible.

'There'll be reinforcement soon. I just have to hold on.'
