Chapter 81: Prince Araton.

Dragonnel turned after watching Lilith jump out the window and he continued moving again. He got to the stairs and claimed up to the next floor. There were five floors in the castle and each of them had a lot of soldiers on them. Dragonnel didn't have to bother about all the soldiers up on the fifth floor because the demons will handle them, but he had to g to the fourth floor because he could feel that there was a troublesome person there. If Dragonnel didn't go there himself then the demons won't be able to handle that person. We already have a limited number of soldiers and we can't allow them to die like this.

Dragonnel arrived at the fourth floor and he saw that it was a large ballroom? In the middle of the ballroom stood a man with a bloody sword in his hand. There were more than fifty demons dead around him and he had this cold look in his eyes as he stared at the demons. This was the second prince of the kingdom of Aquinas. His name was Araton and he was the brother of the former king as well as the strongest swordsman that the kingdom of Aquinas had. He couldn't believe it when he heard that demons invaded the kingdom. There wasn't even a warning, the demons just appeared at their front door like uninvited guests. He knew that his brother would lead this kingdom to ruin one day, but he never knew that it would happen like this!

Araton turned to the side once he noticed Dragonnel enter the ballroom and he just stared at Dragonnel with cold yellow eyes. Dragonnel looked around him with a sigh. He knew that the demons wouldn't be able to fight this person, but for them to die this easily? They didn't even scratch the man once. Araton turned to Dragonnel and pointed his sword at him with a sneer.

"Are you one of them too? These demon scum? Tell me your name,"

Talk about a demanding attitude. Dragonnel clicked his tongue as he leaned on one leg and waved the man's question away. He didn't even give a fuck about Araton. He was more concerned about the dead demons. The demon lord will kill me if he ever finds out that I let this many demons die. He sent me here specifically to prevent something like this from happening. I should have come here faster.

Woosh!

Dragonnel tilted his head to one side as a sword suddenly stabbed through the spot his head was! A great wind blew across the room as the wall behind Dragonnel was destroyed! Dragonnel looked down at Araton with cold blue eyes and Araton immediately jumped back as he felt his heart rate increase!

Araton put his second hand on his sword as well as he realized that Dragonnel isn't someone that he can kill without trying his best. Dragonnel had so many openings while standing there, so Araton thought that he would be able to just kill Dragonnel with that stab, but it was a shock when Dragonnel dodged it! Is this man also an SS-class!? I'm an SS-class and I haven't seen anyone in the kingdom that can keep up with me in terms of swordplay. The kingdom of Aquinas was primarily a magic kingdom, so people who use swords were very rare. Even the guards that protect the kingdom were mainly mages and there were very few swordsmen among them This is one of the reasons why Araton wasn't seen as an important person in the kingdom. Since he didn't have good magic power, he always trained with the sword instead, but that also made people look down on him and call him talentless.

But Araton was strong. Even without magic, he knew he would not lose to anyone below SS-class! For Dragonnel to easily dodge that charge means that Dragonnel is also an SS-class!

Araton's eyes widened as he jumped back immediately! It wasn't because his skill failed, but it was because he felt fear! Dragonnel didn't even move at all, but Araton felt fear fill him! He knew that if he had completed that move then he would have surely been killed. Who is this man!? I can tell that he was able to track my movements.

How can he even see my illusion? I have used this skill to kill hundreds of people and he is the only one that saw through it.

Dragonnel felt like sighing. He shouldn't be sighing since was unbecoming of a member of the demon lord's household, but he just felt like -

Sigh~

Shit. He couldn't hold back. Araton growled in anger when he noticed that Dragonnel was sighing at him! Does he really think my skills are that amateurish!? Who does he think he is!?

"If I knew that it was that, then I would have been less tense. No wonder you were able to kill these many demons. How long have you been using Resonance? A year? Halfa year? I don't think it should be more than a year."

Dragonnel said this while scratching the side of his head again.

Resonance? Araton was confused. What the hell is resonance? Dragonnel noticed the confusion and he just sighed again. He should have known. This fool doesn't even know what power he is using. To think that he would unlock his resonance and he won't even know anything about it. Araton had a magic resonance that allowed him to create illusions around him. It is impossible to see through those illusions and it is extremely deadly if it is used properly. Araton would attack in one direction with the illusion while the real him would go in another direction. It was a strong resonance, but it was so amateurish. Araton himself was still young so that means that he didn't get the resonance too long ago. If he had a few more decades to polish it, then he would have been a very formidable foe.

"If you don't know what it is then just forget it. But I cannot just leave you empty-handed. I recognize that tenacity of yours since you must have trained yourself to death before getting that resonance. So I'll show you something in return,"
