Slash! Chang!

The two swords which constantly clashed with the other cut the air and created deadly sounds.

The shockwaves from the aura of the Sword Masters, moved ferociously uprooting the trees as if they were being swept away by the storm.

Nervousness spreading all through her body, Reina stepped back to see the battle between Luke and Arch Duke Gregory.

She didn’t know much about swords, however, she wasn’t so blind to not know that their skills were just the training matches where one tried to recognise the skills of the others.

Which was why she was scared every time Gregory’s sword crossed with Luke.

Instead of feeling any more emotions, she just wanted to stop the fight right away.

But Gregory showed no signs of hearing to her words, and Luke didn’t seem like he wanted to back down either.

Kang-!

At one point, Luke’s sword flew into a bush.

‘Dammit, I am weaponless.’

Gregory rushed towards Luke who was shaking his hand to relive it from the shocks he felt from the clashing. Gregory had no intention of letting Luke go, whether the sword was in his hand or not.

Nevertheless, Luke showed no signs of fluster.

‘What are you going to do now? Are you going to block the sword with your bare hands?’

The moment Gregory was rushing towards Luke with thoughts.

Slash!

The sword which had been thrown into the bushes was back in Luke’s hand as if it never happened.

It wasn’t just that.

The speed of Gregory’s sword fell significantly. Almost as if his sword was being blocked by something.

‘This, no way…’

While Gregory stopped, Luke recovered the sword and fought back.

His sword came in contact with Gregory, who was much eager than before.

Arch Duke Gregory, a Sword Sage, was calmly avoiding the attacks, then blocked the attacks.

“You use magic. That too magnetic, huh? isn’t that right?”

Luke just decided to smile instead of answering Gregory’s questions.

The sword which flew away was recovered, and he was able to stop Gregory’s furious sword strike right away because Luke managed to manifest Magnetic magic.

The Magnetic magic was divided into anode and cathode, pushing the same pole and pulling the opposite pole.

Luke silently applied the magic in the middle of the swords battle with Gregory. He constantly changed the state of yin and yang from time to time.

So the offense and defense were going according to him.

‘But, now I won’t be able to use it anymore.’

Just as Luke had thought, Arch Duke Gregory exploded his aura and in turn, destroyed the magnetic magic that was created.

Thinking of the next action, Luke kept on wielding his sword.

Luke hurriedly launched a golden aura to stop the offense from Gregory.

“So, your sword is the Gold Sword. Is that name Lev a fake one or is there another unknown bloodline of the Rakan?”

‘Kuk, I was in a hurry.’

At the words of Gregory, Luke’s expression changed.

Fighting was difficult when the identity of the enemy was unknown, he had ordered his subordinates to not use the family sword technique.

But he was the one who was using the Gold Sword in the battle.

The power of Gregory was so great and the momentum was so terrifying that he couldn’t hold back.

Even with the constant attacks, Gregory talked, “The Gold Sword… about 90 years back, I went to the Rakan territory to know about the swords, that was when I saw a knight performing it. It was so amazing that it wasn’t anything like the Holy Sword.”

‘That was why he knew.’ Thought Luke.

“As a paladin knight at that time, I wanted to learn the Gold Sword. However…”

In specific, the Gold Sword was a vision that was only passed down to the heads of the state and their own knights.

“I wanted to learn the Gold Sword no matter what, so I saw how it was used once. Of course, I wasn’t able to get it right with just seeing it.”

Nevertheless, Arch Duke Gregory trained desperately.

He continued to study what he lacked and transformed and developed the Holy Sword.

His research and practice of the Gold sword continued for decades.

“And at last, it paid off. I succeeded in learning the Gold Sword.”

‘What?!’

It turned scary when Luke heard that.

The aura of Gregory’s sword was rising like a flame.
