CHAP 9: BRYCE.
"The prince is here."
"We bid respect to the Prince!"
Lex waved his hand with a smile, then Bryce approached him."Your highness, I want to have a rematch."
Lex look up to Bryce while sitting."why?"Lex asked.
"I go easy on you last time, and you display a great performance, so I want to check you."Bryce reply.
"Well then, ok."Lex said.'I also want to check if I can fight him if his not holding back.'
{Surprise mission}
{Defeat your enemy}
{Reward:50 exp}
{Reward 2:"Berserk mode" skill}
'Eh?, a surprice mission?so I can gain more exp if I fight?but I fought him yesterday, why did the system didn't give a surprice mission?'Lex had many questions in his head.
"Alright, I'll not gonna hold anything back this time, Your highness."Bryce said.
Lex didn't said anything and dashed towards Bryce, this time, Bryce decided to dodge the attack instead of blocking it, he thought that the Prince might be using some sort of sword technique to broke his sword again, he's not wrong though since Lex is using [Slash].
After dodging the first swing, Bryce slashed his sword to Lex's side, but Lex has many points on his agility now, so he dodged the slash by doing a back flip while dodging, while in the air, Lex threw a kick to Bryce, Bryce dodge it by leaning to his right side, but as soon as Lex landed on the ground, he slashed his sword towards Bryce.
This time, Bryce fight Lex head on.
'He manage to repent my Slash, he's really good at sword huh?'Lex thought.
The two of the continued to exchange blows until Bryce manage to hit Lex in his sides two times.
{Your health dropped}
Health:(56/60)
Lex didn't bother about the system message and continue to exchange blows with Bryce.
On Bryce's side, he's amazed and scared at the same time, his amazed because the prince is only 14 y/o but can already fight him to this extent, and his scared because the Prince is showing a fearsome eyes that says that he'll get himself killed if he don't do this right.
The other soldiers are cheering loudly, then king Lith who is on his daily noon walk saw the ruckus.
"What's happening there?"king Lith asked.
"I'll take a look your highness."one of the maids said.
"No, I'll go."king Lith insists.
After walking and git nearer, he saw his eldest so who all thought was a trash, fighting one of his royal knights commander, Bryce, and on top of that, his not even losing, the king showed smile, then leave.
After 5 minutes*
{Your health dropped}
Health:(45/60)
'Tsk, what a strong opponent.'Lex thought.
Even though Lex looks like his loosing, his [Swors mastery]leveled up to level 4 and his also keeping up more since his starting to copy Bryce's moves.
On Bryce's side, it's getting more and more difficult to win, he also starting to notice that Lex is copying him.
"Your highness, I'll speed up the pace."Bryce claimed.
"What?the Prince made Bryce use that skill?"one of the soldiers.
His talking about Bryce's skill, it's a skill that make him more faster and fiercer, Lex got hitted and knocked back 2 meters away.
{Your health dropped}
Health:(36/60)
'What a fierce skill.'Lex thought.
After getting hit by it once, Lex knew one thing.
{You've learned "Thunder steps" skills}
He smiled then used his skill [Glare], though Lex is holding his ground against Bryce, Bryce is clearly stronger, so the skill [Glare] only slowed him.
{The opponent's speed was reduced by 30%}
'Why am I feeling heavy all of a sudden?'Bryce asked, then he looked to Lex's eyes.'I see, that's some scary skill you have there, your highness.'
After Bryce got debuffed, the fight became more close."wait."Bryce said.
"Why?"Lex asked.
"I know I'm stronger, but I've been fighting a 14 y/o kid with my full strenght but I can't bring him down easily, clearly, your strong, your highness."Bryce answered.
"What do you mean?"Lex again asked.
"I withdraw, maybe we can be spar buddies, your highness, if it's ok for you."Bryce reach out his hand.
"Well, I'll gladly do so."Lex shook Bryce's hand.
{The opponent surrendered}
{Surprise mission completed}
{50 exp gained}
{You've learned "Berserk mode" skill}
'I'm barely hanging on in the end, luckily he gave up.'Lex realized that even though he got stronger, he's still weak.
Health:(24/60)
