Chereads / Life of Arthur / Chapter 7 - Sword

Chapter 7 - Sword

2 weeks has passed since then Merlin taught me how to use a sword and today Merlin was gonna apparently spar with me. I was mad and confused when I heard that

I asked him why now and not at 8 years old?

And his response was "It's so that you could culminate your insticts better and it's because, I'm bored"

He was bored, but he had a company underhim, that's why he could sustain my wellbeing

I accepted and now here we are

I was on the ground panting

"Arthur, no matter how much we fight you can't die in the garden"

We we're fighting in the garden that he called Avalon, it was apparently hidden in a very mysterious forest and that as long as you think of entering avalon it's gates shall welcome you, it also has a system that if you we're to go out too far you would immediately leave the garden and forest it was in and appear somewhere out in the world. Avalon also had a potent healing spell that is continously cast on the people on it.

Merlin had a spell called "Garden of Avalon" that creates a large garden and copied thenpotent healing of Avalon. It spend a tremendous amounts of mana that's why he hasn't used it yet

To this day this was the only day I hated Merlin

He Freaking beat me up and did it just cause his "Bored"

I stood up gnashing my teeth

"Ahhhhhhh!" I put my sword over my head then ran to Merlin.

I unleash an attack

Merlin jumped back evading the sword, he then pushed Arthur with the wooden staff he was carrying

I was pushed back, then Merlin unleash'd a series of attack's

"Guh!" I was hit in the shoulder stomach and chin. I was sent back to the floor

"Hmmm, I was right."

I was curious about what he just said

"Right about what?"

"Fufu" he giggled "Nothing, let's take a break for now"

"Umu!"

We sat facing each other. Merlin took out a picnic basket and in the basket was sandwiches he made.

Legion and Abelah came to me during my break and handed me some honey.

"Thank's" I answered. I looked back at Merlin and saw that he was wide eyed and open mouth looking over at Legion and Abelah

"T-that, is that a war beetle and a wasp queen?"

"I think that Abelah said that she was a queen and Legion seems to like me" I pat the head of Legion and Abelah "But I dont know what race they are"

"I see, then excuse me. For now after eating train with my shadow" Merlin created a shadow to spar with, then he took Legion and Abelah then walked to a far area of the garden, he then croaced down and talked to them.

I finished eating

I stood up and faced the shadow

I took the first chance and attacked with a right

The shadow moved it's head sideward to dodge then kicked to my stomach

I jumped back to dodge, after jumping back I kicked the ground then immediately let out a flurry of left fist

"..." Tears formed in my eyes

The shadow stopped all my fist by putting it's hand forward and high-fived my fist

I jumped forward and kicked its calf

It didn't budge

Well it was expected, I am,still weak

It kicked the ground and jumped forward

It closed the gp between me and it in a second

With it's fingers it aimed at my eyes

"..." I was panting on the floor trembling

I saw death...No, I felt death

I think I peed my pants

I looked down

"Phew" I wiped the sweat off my forehead

"I didn't peed nor pooped my pant's" I smiled "I have matured!"

I stood up

I fell

My feet trembled to the point that I couldn't stand up on my own

Merlin saw me and ran to me

"Arthur, we will end this training now"

I nodded my head, then Merlin carried me to a chair, my leg's we're trembling but, when Merlin carried me my whole body trembled so much that I could visibly feel and see that I was trembling
