Chapter 423 - An expelled legend (2/2)

Although feeling no impact, the king tier beast suddenly stopped its tail and swung back again. At this point, Ray had moved in too close to the beast, expecting to deliver an attack of his own. He had expected that the beast's momentum was too great for it to suddenly stop like it had done and throw an attack from the other side.

Seeing the tail as it was, Ray decided to deflect the attack upward. As the giant tail came towards him, he managed to hit it at the right time, however, his blade was slightly tilted at the wrong angle for him to fully parry the tail away, and he was eventually pushed back by the force and was hit.

However, unlike Roki, while flying mid-air, Ray was able to recover, and he stabbed his sword in the ground as hard as he could. It was a clean cut, and he had stopped himself from being hit into the wall.

”What amazing strength and amazing body he has. The sudden stop in force for something like that should have dislocated his shoulder, or perhaps even ripped his entire arm off.” Roki said.

Watching the contestant with the single parry of his blade, Roki felt a little strange. The Footwork before was perfect as he avoided the strike. As for the parry, it could be considered poor. The only reason it had some effect against the beast tail was due to the brute strength that was used.

What had happened was a simple mistake, something a master swordsman would not make having practised hundreds of thousands of times, at least not as bad as the person in front of him.

If the fight was to continue like this Roki felt like if the two of them were to get into a fight, he could easily out duel him.

As the fight was going on, the arena, from outside, started to broadcast the battle going on inside. While they had hecklers shouting out the event on the streets.

”Everyone, we have a new contestant by the name of Nes Dalon, facing off against a king tier beast. Come in, come in!” The man shouted as a projector of the fight was being displayed behind him.

Walking through the city, a certain person who was dressed in ragged robes with dead eyes looked defeated. He looked like he was a simple push away from everything disappearing, but the sudden mention of a name had perked his ears up.

”Nes? Damn that cursed name. Why is it so popular these days?” The person thought, as he turned his head to look at the projector, he could see a closeup of the person who was currently doing battle with the king tier beast. The camera was focused on his face, as he lifted himself from the ground and held the black raven sword in his hand.

For a second, the robed man rubbed his eyes a few times. He had seen this face before, although not exactly the same, it looked nearly the same as the person he knew, only a few years older.

”Is it you, but how, you were dead… I killed you.” Walking towards the arena, the man needed to confirm it with his own eyes. For the person known as Nes had ruined his life. For once he was the great Tower master, Roy, a grand wielder in fire magic.
