"I hope you welcome your guests properly." Jhon said. Harry was so afraid.
" oh don't worry about that, I am very generous."the voice said "so what is your business with me ?" The voice became closer to them.
"He is fast" jhon said in his mind, he looked behind him self, To find a muscular, tall figure with silver hair, carrying a giant sword on his back.
"Jhon his sword is bigger than yours,and he looks stronger than you" Harry said, terrified.
"That doesn't matter " jhon said coldly.
"It is if you want to fight me" the man with the silver hair said.
"For me, it doesn't matter either way."
"If I were in your place, I wouldn't say the same thing." The man with the silver hair said with a smile.
"You are not me "
"So I think you came here to fight me " "When I saw you, I wanted to fight you.Because now I've confirmed my suspicions." Jhon said with a smile.
"you have no chance against me,But even if you succeed in killing me, you'll face significant problems with the navy.In any case, you're a loser."
"The necklace and ring you wear are worth a thousand monsters, which is why a monster hunter cannot possess them. This means you have a side job that the navy probably doesn't approve of,you still have to learn more."jhon said. The silver-haired looked at his necklace and ring as if seeing them for the first time.
In the blink of an eye, John swiftly moved towards the silver-haired figure, wielding his sword to strike. The silver-haired individual quickly dodged the blow and disappeared into the fog.
"You didn't hesitate." The silver haired said "you are fast but not enough to kill me "
""I didn't intend to kill you; I was just testing your reaction. It seems I need you alive to learn many things from you." Jhon said,The sword was still in his hand.
The silver-haired started to laugh "You're intelligent and skilled; what hinders you is your arrogance. By the way I am Randy"
"I didn't come here to make acquaintances." John didn't lower his guard and remained prepared for any sudden attack.
"I like you, you can join us if you want ,it's a big lose to kill you" Randy said mockingly.
"Harry try to move away from the fog." Jhon ordered Harry.
"No one of you will live from here alive" Randy said and disappeared into the fog.
"I can't see him, but I can sense him." Jhon said in his mind "he is so close ,he will attack in any time soon ".
"I got him" Randy said in his mind.He suddenly emerges from the midst of the fog behind John, lifting his sword above his head and bringing it down towards him.
"That it is" Jhon said in his mind.He turns around, facing Randy's attack, and the clash of the swords echoes through the forest. Randy retreats back into the fog once again.
"He has a good reaction, despite his pride he is also an expert and skilled. I should leverage my advantage by knowing the location of our conflict to exit it with the least possible damage." He said in his mind .
Jhon penetrates the mist, gripping the sword with both hands. Suddenly, Randy is ambushed with a surprise attack, narrowly avoiding it as he didn't anticipate the assailant's freedom of movement within the fog. Randy decides to withdraw again, but this time with a gash on his face.
""He can't see me, but he attacks on instinct.I believe I've lost my advantage now." Randy said in his mind.
"I think now you need to show your self ,and fight like a man" Jhon said.
"People like you, fools, can't distinguish between being cautious and being fearful." Randy said ,and showed him self."You have to know the defrent between us" Randy said as he advanced towards Jhon.
"I will finally engage in a genuine battle." Jhon said with enthusiasm .
"But first, I will make you mind clear for this fight " Randy moved into Harry.
"Darn, I didn't expect him to be despicable to this extent." Jhon followed him.
Harry was very frightened when he noticed Randy heading towards him. Randy reaches Harry, and John couldn't catch up with him in time. Randy waved his sword in a circular motion to decapitate Harry. Somehow, Harry lowered his head at the right moment.
"Even weak animals struggle in their final moments to survive, but often in vain." Randy pulled his hand back to attack Harry again, while John remained distant and couldn't intervene in time. "I will cut his head that time", And just before the sword touched Harry's neck, who was unable to show any reaction this time, Randy noticed something gleaming heading towards him. He realized it was a dagger and didn't have time to block it with his sword, so he stepped back to evade it. Then he prepared to attack again, Jhon that time was between them,Randy surprised and waves randomly,The strike wasn't difficult for John to block. "Your opponent here is me." Jhon said,anger evident on his face.
"You really outmaneuvered me in the fight. When you couldn't catch up with me, you threw the dagger to slow me down. "And you also threw it at the right time. If you threw it earlier, I would have reconsidered my attack and defended it. But you're smart, and you know what you're doing. You truly impress me,I've truly diminished your standing." Randy said"You can adapt to any situation, but don't forget the significant power gap between us. What you're doing are just tricks delaying your inevitable death."
"The real fight start here" Jhon said.
"I will make your death quick " Randy started attacking on Jhon,He directed numerous strikes with his sword, and John contented himself with parrying them.John didn't flinch or hesitate in the face of Randy's attacks.
"There is no fear in his eyes from me" Randy said in his mind.
John changed his stance and started to attack as well, creating distance between them. Randy blocked it, hesitates in the attack once again, realizing that everything John is doing is part of a plan. They both stand for a moment, looking at each other.
"I have to be careful, and not miss any move he makes."Randy said in his mind.
"I made a distance between us,I need to use that to finish this fight." Jhon said in his mind.
Both of them realized that the fight might be coming to an end. They era advancing towards each other. They both attacked each other, their swords clashing, the sound echoing in the surroundings. They stepped back from each other.
"That it is " Jhon said in his mind .
This time, John advanced first, and Randy followed suit.
Before their clash, John tossed his sword high into the air, and the blade had been spinning through the air like a fan.
"Is he made,He made himself isolated."Randy said in his mind, "I shouldn't underestimate him, as everything he does has a reason. I don't have to miss the sword,I am not comfortable with this black blade either."
Randy for a moment had looked at the blade, "He fell into the trap" Jhon said in his mind. At that moment, John pulled a medium-sized sword from under his cloak, advancing with a low stance that would make it challenging for Randy to defend against.
Randy realized the attack late,John striked him on his left side below the ribs with a deep wound. After the clashing, Randy pivoted to attack John while still possessing the strength to do so. The sword fell into John's hand; he seized it, parrying Randy's strike with the other sword. Following that, John raised his sword and brought it down towards Randy's hand to cut it off.
The gem in the sword's hilt glowed, and the blade absorbed the blood on it.
"It's a cursed sword." Randy said. "You made a deal with the demon"
"The only one who made a deal with the demon here is you" Jhon said,"and that is the reason why your hair is silver."
"How did you do it,with my speed and my strong, and you defeat me without any damage "
"Experience always triumphs over talent."
"How were you able to sacrifice your sword and throw it into the air at a crucial moment, betting that it would capture my attention, as part of a strategic move to gain an advantage."
"From the beginning, I made you believe that all my moves were deliberate, and that's where you fell into the trap, thinking every action of mine was part of a plan." Jhon said, "I could have defeated you in direct combat, but I wanted to prove to you that strength isn't everything in a fight. The one who wasn't cautious enough in this battle was you." Jhon said with a smile.
