Chapter 34 - Coming of age ceremony (IV) (2/2)

As soon the 3rd prince mentioned his name, the young man named Nickolson quickly walked in the middle of the dance floor. At this time, the people from the Imperial family had already cast barrier spell like a cocoon that enveloped the dance floor preventing any stray fireballs or swords to make the way onto the innocent guests.

All the spectators shifted their gazes to the young man standing on the dance floor who had a cold expression on his face. The young man adopted an eager stance, as though he couldn't wait to battle. He had a long sword in his hand with an icy white jade embedded on the handle.

Even though it was just a regular honored duel, he could not just use a wooden sword to fight his opponent because his opponent was mage not a swordsman like himself. if both of them were swordsmen, that would have been a different story. His opponent wasn't going to shoot some fake fireballs or fake lightning arrows at him but the real ones, so he had to use a real sword to counter not some wooden sword.

Seeing how ready the guy was, Shad walked onto the dance floor as well.

' My name is Shad, it is an honor to fight a well-known swordsman like yourself” he said as he raised his hand for a handshake. he did not even know who the guy was, yet he was already a well-known swordsman in his eyes.

However this time, his opponent did not fall for it. His opponent did not dare to shake his hand but instead had released the strongest aura he could, not bothering to save his strength to fight a protracted battle.

Not only he was showing his self-confidence, he was also making a statement. In front of real strength, trickery was nothing but smoke.

He wanted to use the strongest, most tyrannical strength he could muster, to directly smash Shad. He was Nickolson, the strongest swordsmen in his generation in the Nicholas Empire, now it's time for his name to spread throughout the Djage Empire as well.

The audience could all sense that Nickolson's aura was rather abnormal. It was as though his battle qi had been transformed into an ice elemental battle qi which was twice stronger than a regular one.

” Hurry up, I still have one more fight after you.

Listening to Shad's words, a hint of murderous intent flashed within Nickolson's eyes as he felt humiliated.

As for Shad, his expression was calm as before. He was so calmed that he did not even bother to start chanting his magic spell nor released any magic power from his body.

Under the attention of all, Nickolson's body erupted into motion. In that instant, his sword was cold as ice, and in a moment, he had already appeared in front of Shad.

His sword released a strange frost energy, cutting through the air, directly slashed toward Shad. However, before he would even get close, a pinging sound rang out from the exterior of Shad's exterior thick blue mana shield as the sword made contact with it.
