While Riya was taking on a Legendary rank warrior, another one assaulted Alex.

Alex observed the soldiers around him and felt that if he became careless now, he would be injured.

Moreover, he was fighting the legendary rank amidst the enemy forces so he gave hand signs to his troops and asked them to engage.

Max, Aeon and Barack immediately hurled their way towards Alex.

"Die you bastard!"

Cain hopped towards Alex and tried to smack him into pieces.

BOOM!

A strong explosion erupted blowing away dust and debris from all around.

Alex blocked the attack, but one of his feet sunk deep into the ground due to the force of the attack.

Alex was perplexed seeing the ground under him cracking and felt that he was lucky that it wasn't collapsing otherwise he would be the one who would be in trouble.

Alex's muscles bulged underneath the armour and he pushed Cain.

Sharp sparks emerged as both of them confronted each other.

Gales started to emerge due to their clash forming strong shockwaves. The Arkham soldiers had already gone back a few steps back.

Alex exhaled heavily and tried to pull one of his legs out while trying to maintain the foothold, but he wasn't able to exert his full strength due to the loose soil underneath him.

Alex clasped his hand and lightened his hold which allowed Cain to push Alex's sword further but as Alex let go of it, he pulled his sword to the side and moved his head and slammed it on Cain's face.

BANG!

A dent was formed on Cain's helmet.

Cain roared in anger and his sword turned into the silver light that attacked Alex like a snake.

Alex welcomed him and took him head-on.

There were countless crisp clashing sounds on the battlefield. The soldiers surrounding the place were dazzled looking at the fight between the two which was leaving behind a marvellous trail.

The Arkham soldiers were bewildered as they weren't able to catch the site of the two fighting with all their might.

They thought that since Senior Cain appeared this man would be crushed like a small fly but contrary to their thoughts, this man was giving Cain a hard time.

The man seemed to be in Transcendent rank so how was he able to fight their Senior Knight who was at Legendary rank?

"Hahaha! I remembered that your name is Alex and that Lady is your wife. I heard you two are quite a good couple."

"Why don't you take a look at the side? She is going to die by Vend. Let me tell you Vend is quite famous and he was ranked 18 on the Legendary rank list once. His attacks are unpredictable and lethal."

Alex frowned and he stared at Riya for a moment. With a glance, he could tell that she was having a hard time trying to fight Vend.

"Idiot, the greenhorn, don't you know that you should never take your eyes off your enemy."

"Hahaha! Now die, you sinner. Even your blood isn't enough to wash the sin of killing my people."

With frantic laughter, Cain jumped and he had already appeared before Alex who seemed to be careless but who knew that Alex's images would be blurred instantly and at the next moment, he would appear right behind him.

The sword in Alex moved like a crimson flash and he slashed at Cain.

Cain was terrified and turned sideways to avoid the blow but Alex's sword moved as fast as lightning and it cut through the armour leaving a blood stain wound near the ribs.

"You kill the people in my land and think of yourself as a hero, a saint and if I do the same by killing your man who attacked us first, I am a sinner."

"You are a man who is standing at the peak of hypocrisy," Alex spoke as Cain held the area near his ribs with a pained expression.

If Cain was a second late, his hand would have been chopped just now.

Cain was perplexed as he felt that the man had acted to lose his focus a second to catch him off guard.

Unfortunately, he fell right into his traps and suffered heavily.

While Cain was lamenting and trying to suppress the pain, Alex had already appeared before him like lightning and the sword in his hands turned into two arcs of light that struck Cain's neck and his speed was even faster than before.

Cain drew a circle with his sword. Sparks flew everywhere as he blocked the two arcs of the sword and as he was about to counterattack, his blood seemed to be stiff and a strong power condensed on his body slowing him down.

Alex cast a freeing spell under Cain's feet and as Cain slowed, he was hit by numerous strikes. Although he had worn defensive gear, he wasn't able to evade the sharpness of Alex's strike and blood splashed everywhere at once as many cuts appeared all over his body that tore through the armour.

Cain slumped down on the ground with a bloody look as Alex walked towards him calmly.

Cain breathed heavily and tried to get up by supporting himself with the sword, but a cut appeared and his hand holding the sword was chopped and flew back in the air splashing blood.

Thud!

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"

Cain fell to the ground like a helpless twig and roared in pain.

"How Naive!"

"Do you think my wife is nobody who can be taken out by anyone? I trust my wife more than anyone."

"Before killing you, I am offering you a chance to witness the battle on the other side. It would feel nice to accompany the other legendary rank knight to hell."

...…..

Vend had an unusual fighting style. To have an upper hand in the fight, he never stayed head on the enemy nor he stood still rooted in a place but rather moved in through various angles to either side of the opponent.

This not only avoids getting the chance of being sliced but also increases their chances of attacking the enemy.

With a flexible sword that can bend and attack at any angle, the opponent had a hard time predicting the trajectory of the sword.

Vend moved closer towards Riya while keeping his sword close to his chest.

Riya flicked her wrist while aiming straight for the throat of the enemy but Vend back ridged down weirdly which was followed by lightning-quick swipes to either side of Riya's neck.

Riya pulled back her dagger to block the edge of the blade coming towards her neck but the blade was moving towards the neck, suddenly tilted as Vend twirled his wrist and the blade hit Riya's shoulder forming a gashly wound.

Riya's expression stiffened and she retracted her blade and tried to slash at him, and fled it towards Vend but he had retreated by a few steps.

"You can't defeat me." Vend shouted.

The sword in his hand was moving in a zig-zag motion while swinging to and fro.

Vend aura started to increase exponentially.

Riya's expression turned cold and she glared at Vend as if she was going to puncture a hole in him.
