Sam got home and started making preparation. Ken I want to get the herbs for my father today. I can't bear to see my father so injured. after that Sam went to train he needed to perfect his sword act more, he knew a small difference could determine the out come of his battle. on getting to the family traning hall Sam started practising his sword but still it was to no effect. He called one of his relative. Jane I know you are quiet decent in sword play please can we have a spar. Jane was sceptical, is this a trap to get your mum to kill me Jane thought, Sam pleaded with Jane then the spar started.
Jane was careful not to injure Sam, she didn't put her all into the spar and Sam was not happy with the result. Jane please can you be a little more serious as he said this he rushed at Jane forcing her to defend against him. as Sam's intention was not to defeat Jane but improve his sword he did not use his might as time went on Jane relaxed she was a beauty to behold her sword play was like a dance Sam on seeing this felt he was still to rigid. sis how did you become so prolific in the sword art. That's because I follow my heart do not think of your next move, become unpredictable. you can set traps, plan how to lure you opponent to certain locations but do not plan or think ahead during battle what style to use or how to use your sword. Let the sword be part of you and an extension of you arm.
Sam did not improve much but he appreciated what he learnt. He went to his room change his clothes to some black outfit, picked up his bag and left. He walked out of the sparrow mansion with a sword hanging by his side. then Sam started heading to the mountain where he was directed by Ken, Sam you 've to follow my instructions to the later and it's very important you do so for your safety. avoid staying behind and in front of the beast always stay by it's side. that is not a guarantee of victory but you reduce the possibility of injury and death you 've to use your speed advantage in this battle.
finally I got here. Sam took out his sword and hid his back between a crack by the mountain side. Ken I am here what's next. you will lay an ambush on the alligator let him stay far from the river before you attack and stop him from betting back in water the herbs 're at the bank of the river Sam chose a spot to hide and wait for thirty minutes nothing happened. suddenly there was noise of water at the bank and a hundred meter long alligator with half it's length taken up by it's tail Sam was taken aback. Ken is that thing not too big. Remember I told you it still has some kind of Dragon bloodline in his body. it could also spit fire, though not as strong as the dragons so you should always protect yourself from it with your phoniex fire.
Sam was still in shock he waited for the alligator to move, the beast seems to be very cautious by nature it lay near the bank for twenty minutes after that, it are some of the herbs. it was strolling along the bank like it will never leave as it worked it checked on the herbs Sam was surprised at the intelligenceof the beast. Sam don't be surprised by it's intelligence. this was to show you how crafty, do not under rate any opponent in the future after a long wait, the alligator made it's move after walking a long distance Sam decided to use a surprise attack he started drawing natural energy into his body, activated his phoniex flames and positioned himself so as to be able to attack the beasts neck.
After a while the alligator came to the point where Sam decided yo carry out his surprise attack. Sam used his maximum speed and power to attack he was so fast that before the beast could react his attack has already connected but to Sam's surprise it left a injury not deep enough to kill the beast after their collusion rank out like two metals colliding. Sam quickly keep your distance Sam immediately retreated. Having no experience in fighting beast Ken had to guide him but that made his actions some seconds late at the last second Sam had to block the tip of the beasts tail with his sword and was sent flying. whole Sam was in the air, Ken told sam to increase his phoniex flame to maximum as that will give him some resilient of the phoniex to harden his body and reduce possibility of injuries.
Sam fell to the ground after a while and nearer to the river Sam close in on it, deter it from getting close yo that river, Sam having learnt that Ken has reason for every instruction ran towards the alligator. Ken why don't I pick the herbs and leave. The beast might be slow but their is not enough time to do that and the beast will surelynot let you go. Thesame time it will now be in its favourite place water. as Sam was running the beast breath fire at Sam through its mouth. sam quickly sent out flames to counter it by waving his sword and with that an intense battle ensued.
The beast was enraged it used it tail to hit rocks towards Sam, with an incredible force Sam had to side step the stone the rock slammed into the mountain and created a big cavity. Sam knew if he didn't have the speed advantage he would have been at a disadvantage. while Sam was fighting the alligator he was too slow to react to a particular fire breath from the beast and it hit him to Sam's surprise he had no injury it seems like his own flame grew his body seemed stronger, Sam continue the flame alone should touch you I can feel your phoniex bloodline awakening more you are gradually having the physics of a phoniex, I guess same would have happened with that of the Dragon had you awakened it already.
The beast was enraged when it found out that the flames did no harm to Sam he pumped it up sam avoided the tail and jaws striking when possible but was not brutal he allowed more of the flame to hit him this time he tried absorbing them soon there wasn't much difference between the physical strength of the alligator and Sam and his body was almost as tough. Sam now started to clash head on with the alligator. Although he was sent flying at some occasion he wasn't badly injured.
