From everything reported to him, this strangers mostly like are powerful magi user, probably a tier four or five. thinking of this possibility, his body shook in fright.
no matter how powerful he is, he is nothing but trash before such figures. being able to deal with tier two magi user easily with just strength isn't an easy fit for someone with strength base magi.
there most would leave clues of their magi activation or energy circulation. but using just strength want they have evolved to a precedented level their physical attributes alone is enough to deal with trash
after all leveling up means getting stronger both physically and Magi wise. thinking of this he thought it wise not to pursue this issue further.
its best to his in the shadow he had always being and slowly milk this weaklings here to facilitate his growth. once he finally get strong enough, he would make sure to pay those bastards for challenging his might in his own territory
"take that fool to the infirmary and get him treated, send message to everyone outside to withdrew for the time being
we get back on business once those two are out of town, make sure to keep an eyes on them"
he yelled his order at his underlines who fidgetingly chorus a reply I fear and was about to carry out his instruction when a cold chill run down their spin freezing them in place when they heard a gentle alluring voice that seems to come from heaven but belongs to the descendant of the abyss
"there is no need for that"
raising his head to the direction of the voice, its just as his subordinate had described. seeing the two figure clothe in regal white robe steps out of the shadows
he brow arc because even with his strength, he couldn't tell what level of strength this two possess.
"you must be the famous Nike of sand hill city, we've heard quite a lot about you in the short while we tarry for a rest
seems like the rumours sure holds credit for all you've done, oppressing the weak and forcing mundane into servitude"
"and you are righteous, beating people up in a square and intruding into others private business" the noble raised his brow in a sarcastic manner
"ooh, about that, your lackey bite more than he could chew and news to be taught a lesson to respect other people
weaker or stronger than him, and as for badging in"
she wipe out a spear from her spatial storage, taking a fighting stance pose. "its because I'm here to serve you justice"
the Noble eyelids twitched seeing this fighting pose, and as if he had gone mad burst into a fit of laughter.
"let me guess, Kathryn indulge you into coming here right, no to be more appropriate
she coerce your blind fool into sending you kids over to deal with me, I honestly don't know if I should cry or laugh at his stupidity"
his fear and cautiousness had gone through the window by now, having piece together the puzzle he found no reason to be
Damien grunt angrily at the side he stood when he heard his father referred to as blind master but held his peace
"seem like you are acquainted with our father, I'm curious how you figured everything out quickly
still your crime had only top up calling my father a blind fool, don't blame me for making your punishment extremely slow and painful"
"haha, you are amusing indeed, your words are like music to my ear. did u just war you sy father?
that fool wouldn't have the guts to side another child, not to mention two
as for melting out judgement, I doubt you kids got what it takes. if you happen to be a genius couple with the presumed age I deduced from your voice
you shouldn't be more than a tier two Magi, my bet is you got some pretty good items to conceal your true strength
not that it matter though as it would e mine pretty soon, I just feel so insulted he had to cower behind in the shadow
sending you kids to your death, typical selfish Noah. always thinking about himself alone without a care for those around him".
Damien could barely hold in his rage anymore, he couldn't stand the nonsense spoken about his father
"you are wrong" Dianne words halt his action to charge over, "my Father is one of the most selfless and caring father figure I could ever wish for".
her mind recount all the wonderful time she had growing with Damien and er father now known as Noah
she even recall a time the village people employed a mercenary from one of the big city to come deal with the testifying basilisk beast they saw the other time
unfortunately for her and Damien, they were out in the woods hunting and were just tier one at then.
if Noah hadn't showed up in time to save them, they would have been dead by now. the scene of Noah battling against a mercenary powerful enough to stage two huge tier one basilisk flash before her eyes
the equal level of strength they display and the advantage the mercenary had due to his magi were still ingrin in her memory
Noah had barely won that day due to his swordsmanship expertise and leverage to read aura
but he didn't overcome without a price, he sustained multiple wounds and a deep cut to his back a and chest.
how can someone who could stand for a nobody like her, a monster that she is be called selfish and uncaring.
how can he be a fool n he could just take Damien and escape leaving her to the mercy of the mercenary to buy himself time
she pierce her word hard into the ground in rage as monstrous killing intent surge out of her, one that made Damien gulp secretly.
"you dare insult my father before me, calling him names in my presence? count yourself lucky of you have a quick death"
"bring it on kid" Nice wipe out twin sword just like the ones Damien usually uses and took a battle stance
a stance ever too familiar to him, 'The riverdale sword dance', he grow wondering why this noble would have his father sword art technique
"just so you know kid, I should be considered your Senior martial brother since we share same teacher
too bad he never told you about having an older brother and sister just like you too
or the reason I decided to leave him, still its not important anyway way as you both are going to die after all"
Dianne figure blink out of place arriving before him mid air in a flash as she struck her spear down at him with all her might
Nike reacted by placing his sword in a cross form slightly above his head as the spear collide with it, forcing hi knee to bend a bit an a deep crack appearing beneath his feet.
he frown realising his misconception of Dianne strength. this kid is no level short in comparison to his own strength
the realization if this got him furious, how can a kid her age already posses the level of strength that took him years to achieve
Dianne didn't care the thought going through his head, her figure move once again, stabbing at him from the side which he evade by leaping away for the trajectory of the attack
Dianne followed in with another attack, already expecting him to dodge in the initial one in the first place
both of them became licked in a fierce battle, their figure flashing all through the place. leaving behind blurry after image of their movement due to the extreme speed they were using
in a few breath of time, the room looks nothing like it was before. stab and cut mark cover majority of the place and spiderweb cracks fill the floor and walls
Dianne and Nike stood opposite each other panting for breath, giving each other a deadly stare.
"I'm impressed, old fool finally find a genius student. I never expected your level of strength and techniques proficiency to be on par with mine
too bad you choose the old man side, I would have made you one of my concubine.
now let get serious" Nike put away his twin sword and took out a special looking spear brimming with energy
Dianne and Damien reacted to this new weapon as both became cautious instantly.
"haha, seeing your reaction I doubt you've ever seen a artifact weapon before.
this is the riverdale familiar signature weapon built just for the riverdale sword dance technique
now let's dance" the spear him in resonance with his declaration as his strength surge fort, breaking the it natural limits
Energy enveloped the spear forming a flowing stream of water cascading it body.
Dianne eyes widened as he noticed Nike had activated his Magi, its no long a battle of sheer strength, proficiency and tactics.
From the look of it, he has a perfect magi build for for technique, a water related magi as the energy around the spear has such properties.
"You want to dance, fine by me" Dianne declared too" pale lead green energy surge of her hands, enveloping her spear as a corrosive effect became to take place on the spear but she didn't mind
She also wipe out a single of pair of twin sword in addition to her spear which was enveloped like the spear too as she took a serious stance
"I guess we would have to put to test the core of this technique, two sword one spear"
