Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 1307

The Mighty Rudolf

~Ting.

The duo clashed their swords against one another with a fiery passion. And just as one would expect, William was overpowered.

“YAH!” Rudolf yelled, pushing his pointe back.

Strong. Very strong.

This was William’s thought, looking at how far back he had been pushed.

It was just the beginning of the battle, yet his wrists had already been forced to turn at extreme angles that made them feel pain.

Rudolf’s bulging muscles and veins were already in full display from that single attack alone.

And seeing how far he pushed his opponent, Rudolf was complacent, grinning again at his might.

And with several more waves, he forcefully smashed his word at William from all angles.

Whoop. Whoop. Whoop. Whoop.

The sounds of the air whistling dangerously.

Focus. Focus. Focus. Focus…

William dodged as though dancing, leaning to the left, right, ducking, and even falling backward, all to avoid the deadly blade.

And the more he dodged, the fiercer Rudolf became.

“Bahahahahahaha~… Boy! It’s already impressive that you can dodge by lightning Illusion sword for so long. Trust me, not meant people can do it.” Rudolf said with a cheeky grin plastered on his face.

And for the first time, William truthfully agreed.

Make no mistake. Rudolf’s slashes were nothing of the ordinary.

Take a good look at the slash.

Vibrations…

That was the best word he could come up with when examining the matter.

Picture a string held firmly at its ends. And then, imagine someone pinching and pulling the string from its center.

The vibrations that occur on the string, rocking backs and forth, were similar vibrations he saw on the sword.

That’s right. The sword, though looking ready, was rocking side to side with each slash.

This also meant that the sword attack would cover thicker width ranges too.

Moreover, the fact that it was constantly vibrating made it hard for William to see the precise location where the attack was targeted.

This might seem like a useless piece of information to many. But in battle, one could be saved an inch away from an attack.

Calculating angles and coming up with attack predictions was what would keep one alive.

He couldn’t afford to slack off, or he would get cut without even knowing it

Dammit!

.

~Whoop. Whoop. Whoop

Sweat trickled down William’s forehead the fiercer the attacks came.

“Hahahahahahahahaha~… Boy, where’s your confidence now? What’s the matter, can’t handle my lightning illusion technique? Hehehehe… If you think you can wear me off by doing and but attacking, then too bad. Don’t you know where I come from?”

~Whoop!

“Boy! I’ve been on the battlefield for over 5 hours, using only this technique. So if you think I’ll lessen my lighting speed, then think again!”

With that, Rudolf concentrated all his strength into the next attack, aiming to slash William onto half cleanly.

“Eat my sword, you lowly piece of sh**!”

~Whoosh!

The sword moved incredulously as William quickly moved to the side as though diving into water.

Bloody Hell!

What sort of techniques are they teaching those bastards in Morgany?

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he honestly felt that his life was about to end just now.

William rolled off and painfully dragged gis body off the floor.

Looking at his left shoulder, he was supposed to get scared.

The injury he just received was terrible. .that is, a thin, topmost layer of his skin had been sliced off as though one were slicing thin strips of meat.

Terrible.

The surface was now dyed red, with blood continuously oozing out of it.

The last time William ever felt this close to death was when Eli and Connor almost killed him in one of his secret bases.

Dammit!

William gritted his teeth while watching his opponent swirl the sword in his hand playfully.

“William Barn… I did give you a choice, no? All you had to do was just lower your damn ugly head for the return of the true Monarch. You are a paper Monarch, not wanted by anyone. So let me put it to you now. Even if you manage to kill me, your request will still end up the same. You, William Barn, will die.”

William’s blood went cold while listening to Rudolf.

If eyes could kill, Rudolf would’ve long been dead by now. William buried the pain he was feeling on his shoulder, focusing his strength on his sword, waiting for his opponent to come to him.

That’s right.

It would be foolish for him to attack first. This guy had all sorts of strange techniques from Morgany. And William didn’t like surprises during battle.

But his cornered look only pleased Rudolf more and more: “William, William, William… I take it that you’re a man with some sense in your head. Tutututututut… Don’t try to be like that rebellious late uncle of yours. You don’t have what it takes to be the next Alec Barn. So don’t try to be one. I’ll tell you what… Because I like you, I’m ready to offer you a deal of a lifetime.”

A deal?

William remained silent, listening to the giant before him.

Hooked and sinkered.

Rudolf smirked confidently.

He wasn’t a fool!

Indeed. He had underestimated how many idiots existed in this world.

No one with some ‘upstairs’ would think of doing what William just did.

Thus, he came here into event territory, thinking he could just waltz back out after delivering the message. Plus, with all due respect, who attacks the messenger?

Wasn’t he just doing his job here? In his opinion, William was way out of line.

And that was to secure his safety leaning this place, he decided to make a ‘deal’ with the brat.

Of course, whether he would keep and uphold the deal was an entirely different matter.

Heh.

Now that he had said what he came to say, all he wanted to do was leave, head back and report harshly about this wannabe Alec Barn.

Rudolf smiled. “Yes…. I want to make a deal with you.”
