Salute To The General



Raimond snickered. "You have such a conceited tone!"

After that, he waved his arm.

That time, more guards encircled Kraven.

Seeing that, Kraven shut his eyes.

Upon noticing Kraven's pompousness, the dozen of guards exchanged glances before picking up speed while closing their distance with Kraven. Then, they swung their swords at Kraven in unison.

At that very moment, Kraven's eyes shot open with an exceptionally sharp glare.

Taking a step forward, he slashed his sword sideways.

Snap, snap!

As the crisp sounds of weapons snapping rang, the guards' swords broke into halves.

At the same time, there were gaping wounds on the throats of the men, oozing blood.

Thud!

A dozen guards collapsed after having their throats slashed.

While the angels frowned, the remaining guards were all jittery in the face of such an overwhelmingly powerful enemy.

All of a sudden, sounds of footsteps approached from afar.

Two elderly men clad in black and white respectively came to the rescue with their subordinates.

When Raimond and the rest saw the two elderly men, they bowed in deference.

"Greetings to the Light and Dark Messengers."

The two elderly men were Allfather's right-hand men, namely Dark Messenger Agastya Facon and Light Messenger Varuna Jain. Agastya questioned in annoyance, "What are you doing? The sirens have been blaring for some time now. Have you not dealt with the intruder?"

Raimond respectfully informed, "The enemy is rather tricky to deal with, so normal guards can't win against him. The four of us were just about to make a move. Please pardon us for the hassle."

Varuna huffed, "We aren't the ones that matter here. You might draw the attention of the Five Heavenly Guardians of Heavenly City if the sirens continue making all these noises."

Agastya added coldly, "It might even get Allfather's attention, let alone the Five Heavenly Guardians."

Raimond was sweating nervously as he promised, "We'll capture the intruder right away."

With that, he gazed at his comrades.

Winson, the Fallen Angel, volunteered immediately. "You can stay put. I'll deal with this guy."

Then, he unsheathed his rapier. Within a flash, he launched an attack on Kraven, who was standing nearby. Without a word, Kraven took him on.

Whoosh!

Winson moved incredibly fast, his rapier moving even faster.

Kraven could only see a blurry figure before saw a glinting blade

unimaginable speed. Covel.nee

Following his instincts, he lifted his sword to retaliate.

Clang!

Kraven managed to block Winson's powerful blow. Right after that, the two of them began close-quarter combat.

Their figures came together before moving apart repeatedly as their glinting blades clashed.

Sparks flew as the sounds of blades clashing rang.

their faces.

Apparently, none of them expected Kraven to be able to fight on par with Winson.

Nheless, their weapons became the winning factor when their skills were evenly matched.

It was because Kraven used a whip sword, while Winson used a rapier.

When they battled, their weapons kept on clashing with each other, which wasn't good for Kraven's whip sword.

After ten or so rounds, Winson's rapier brutally broke Kraven's whip sword with a final blow.

At the same time, he thrust his rapier in the direction of Kraven's throat, steel flashing.

At the critical moment, Kraven tilted his head in an incredible feat to avoid Winson's rapier. Nheless, Winson's rapier still touched Kraven's shoulder, leaving behind a gnarly wound.

Kraven leaped backward to put some distance between them.

Winson waved arrogantly as he sneered. "Haha. This decides it. You lose."

Boom!

The casing was shattered, leaving behind an unassuming ancient sword in his hands.

"From what I see, the battle has just begun," he declared lividly.
