Burning Soul - Chapter 147

Clang! After sparring another hit Duvrion stepped back to get some distance for Arlo.

“Is that all?

A…

Plane guardian … is capable of?” Arlo replied while trying to catch his breath.

“Kid!

You sure you want to go on?

Are you forgetting that I’m a beastmen before Plane Guardian, I can go on for days if you want and look at you!

If you surrender, I might let you live!” Duvrion who didn’t even sweat in the fight looked at him with an intimidating look.

“Oh!

Do you think that’s all that I got?

Let me show you my full strength!” Arlo stood with a difficult expression, he looked on edge for sure!

.

“We can’t stay like this, you stay here and look after her, I’ll go see that kid myself!” Nuae stood up after learning that Arlo was there.

“But he almost overwhelmed Aeneas last time!

You sure you can…” Catherine who had heard about his strength reminded him.

“I’m sure Aeneas wasn’t serious and…” He pulled a sword from the Spirit realm, a shiny one!

“I was once in killing squad for a reason!” He showed a smirk on his face.

.

.

“Oye! Let me deal with him,

You can go ahead and see what’s going on there!” Nuae walked up to Duvrion and pointed to the explosive background.

“What’s going on!” Confuses, he replied,

“That kid turned into something dark, you should go there, lemme me take care of this punk here.” He swung his longsword with a smirk.

“Hmm,

I’m not sure about how much I can help. But, let’s see!” Duvrion turned around and walked past him.

“You are underestimating me, mister!” Arlo didn’t wait long before launching an attach onto Nuae.

He was equipped with the same white robe and sword he used against Aeneas.

His speed was frightening, unlike before. He must have pure in all his might to launch this attack.

“Don’t judge a book by its cover they say.” Arlo felt his cold gaze even in such great momentum.

His attack had no effect on him, it was utterly blocked and repelled by him. And it looked he didn’t even try.

“Been a while since I had the chance to go all out!” he then lifted the sword up and prepared for a counterattack

Arlo, was enough confident to take the attack head-on, though he didn’t expect him to change his weapon mid-air.

From a heavy longsword, he switched to two curved daggers. His speed was already great and now his movements became even nimble thanks to the lighter weapon.

In an instant, he landed more than 30slashes, almost overwhelming Arlo’s defence. He received one or two slashes head on making him lose his balance and fall backwards.

“Never let go of an opportunity they say.” His voice echoed in Arlo’s ears as he stood right next to him with again a different weapon, a single-handed longsword.

“I worried for nothing then, I’ll see what’s going on there as you advised” Duvrion made his way out,

“Shall we!” Nuae smirked at the kid on the ground.

“Tsk, why is everyone getting in my way!

Just a little longer and my task is done.” Arlo stood instantly and got back in his stance.

“Whatever, I’ll make sure you enjoy your time with me.” Nuance’ reply did creep him a bit

But instead of letting it affect him, he charged in yet again this time using the same trick as Nuae, he switched to bow and arrow.

‘Hmm, that is the weapon,’

“Lightning!” he enchanted the arrow before shooting. The shot lit up the whole area with extremely bright radiance,

“Such a dirty break won’t work kid!” Nuae looked right through the attack and turned around to confront the incoming sword slash by Arlo.

Indeed Arlo was startled but he didn’t stop there and landed the hit anyway.

The fierce confrontation was enough to shake and damage nearby houses. The slashes they exchanged were faster than what one could see, resulting in damaging shockwaves.

From outside it looked like they were quite the match but only Arlo knew that with every blow, he was nearing the end, he could sense the intense killing intent in each slash. Continuing any further only meant an open invitation to death.
