1166 Attack 2 (1/2)

In the darkness, the saber was as bright as a silver path, reflecting the dim lights by the street.

Silver Chain's black claw and Garen's saber clashed against each other.

Clank clank clank clank clank!!

Big white light sparked around Garen. Those sparks were the result of the clashes between the extremely fast moving saber and sharp claw. Every time they collided, a white light sparked.

”Slash!” Holding his saber with both of his hands, Garen drew a sharp path forward at lightning speed.

Pew!!

Thud thud thud...

Silver Chain retreated a few steps back as a big, deep wound opened up on his chest. Fresh blood started flowing out of the wound, dripping to the ground.

It was only then that the keys Saber One had thrown out started to fall to the ground. It had already been cut into tiny pieces and no longer resembled its original appearance.

He was stunned as he lowered his head and looked at the wound on his chest.

He was injured?!!!

He was a modified Cyborg, a top class warrior from the organization that had experienced hundreds of battles! Surprisingly, he was injured by a man who was less than twenty years old?!!

Silver Chain was in disbelief as he moved his hand and touched the wound on his chest.

”This...”

Shing... Garen slowly sheathed his saber.

”Do you want to scram on your own or do you prefer me sending you off?” He asked in a condescending tone.

”... I'll let you all off the hook this time!” Silver stared at Garen as he turned around decisively and leaped, disappearing into the darkness in an instant.

Boom!!

Suddenly, plenty of black sharp claws burst out from the darkness and headed towards Garen.

Clang!!

The white sparks appeared once more as the black sharp claws were blocked off with great precision. No one could even see Garen moving his saber at all.

Garen did not pursue after him as he deflected the last black sharp claw. Garen then sheathed his saber once more, making a clunking sound as he did so. It seemed that he had created an Absolute Territory two meters around him with him as the epicenter and nothing would be able to invade this space.

Furthermore, it was as if he was not in the battle at all from the beginning until the end as his white shirt still looked the same as previously when he was walking back home.

The alley was in complete silence. It was as if nothing had happened here excluding the messy remnants from the battle.

”So... So strong!!” Both Saber One and Saber Two witnessed the whole situation with a dull look in their eyes as they looked at Garen deflecting the black sharp claws.

The strong and terrifying cyborg could not even break Garen's defense at all! This level of Saber Art... was almost at the peak of humanity's limit!!

”That's... That's the Head Minister for you!” Saber One gulped as he now realized that Garen had been holding back more than a trick or two when he sparred with Garen back at the Combat Department. It was no wonder he kept being bullied as the difference between their strength was simply too huge!

It was incredibly ridiculous for a typical human's strength to reach such a level!

”Are you okay.” Garen walked towards them and helped them up. ”Both of you are seriously injured and will need blood transfusion in the hospital immediately.” He frowned and told them as he saw their injuries.

”We're lucky... that the Head Minister had coincidentally walked passed here...we will be in big trouble if not for you...” Saber Two smiled wryly.

”It's best for you to not represent the human next time.” Garen smiled gently. ”That thing is not something you can win against. You shouldn't fight it even if you don't represent the human race.”

Saber One was stunned momentarily, and he smiled.

”Understood.”

He nodded repetitively.

********

Half an hour later. Lincoln's ambulance arrived to send the two to the hospital.

Garen stood on the street as he looked at the ambulance disappearing in the distance. If it was not for him to pass by coincidentally while Saber One and Saber Two were ambushed, he might not be able to discover one of the Four Great Cornerstones was actually Lincoln's cousin brother, Yuria.

He was no other than Saber One, whose real name he did not bother to remember.

In the Saber Art Dojo, Garen's nickname was the Great Saber and beneath him was Saber One, Saber Two and so on until the Saber Tens. This crude management brought about a strong passion for competition and rivalry as the number in the nickname signified their strength.

”I didn't expect... the Savior, one of the Four Great Cornerstones would be Yuria... I always thought that it would be Lincoln.” He held his saber by his waist tightly as he gazed at the silent street around him. As expected, someone with great influence had set up the surrounding beforehand as they wanted to keep it as an absolute secret.

Garen then walked back slowly from where he came from.

At the top of the building far away, a variety of surveillance equipment was set up. Several people in blue tight shirt were crawled in front of the surveillance system. Their faces twitched as they saw the situation on the other side of the monitor unfold.
