269: Chapter 269 – Lion’s Slash

269 -269 – Lion’s Slash

As Arthur was about to run away from striking and go towards Henry’s blank spot again, he stopped.

Suddenly, in front of him, three spots opened up behind Henry, all of them ready for Arthur to take advantage.

Now this was a surprising turn for him.

Since the beginning he only spotted one weak spot and suddenly three others opened up at the same time.

Arthur’s eyes narrowed at what he felt could be a trap.

‘Is he baiting me to attack him there and attack back?’ Arthur thought as he dodged under Henry’s heavy slash, ‘I don’t have much time, I need to make a choice now.’

‘Do I attack or not?’

After getting a good thought, Arthur shook his head and backed away.

It was better to wait for a greater position then being greedy back there.

…

I almost laugh at the split decision Arthur made.

It was like showing a luxurious food to a lab rat that didn’t know whether it was good or not.

The rat had to make a decision whether to eat the delicious food or avoid from the poison.

Frankly, he made an intelligent choice.

‘But you also gave me a choice too!’

I turn around fast and throw my huge sword straight at Arthur.

Arthur who saw the long distance throw, knew he made a mistake backing away so much.

“Foosh!” The air cut out as my sword propelled towards Arthur.

“Clang!” Arthur quickly blocked it with his sword, but the force behind it was immense.

With great difficulty, Arthur was able to deflect it slightly as it hit the wall behind him.

But even with that, the force propelled Arthur back as he stopped only an inch before reaching the wall.

“Hah… Hah.”

Arthur looked down at the ground as he saw the long mark his sword did.

He used his blade to stop his momentum.

It shook Arthur more to see that Henry’s strength took such a turn in this few months.

Back then, he could still somewhat keep on with Henry’s strength, but now that was just a pipedream.

‘If he hits me at point blank, I’m sure it would break my bones… even cripple me if I’m not careful.’

He looked ahead at Henry.

He was just standing with there, a grin on his face.

‘Why is he not attacking?’

Arthur got that answer as Henry signaled with his fingers for Arthur to come.

That angered Arthur.

Henry was just waiting there to be attacked.

It was like saying, he wasn’t enough to make Henry move.

‘I’ll show you.’ Arthur got up as his eyes shone with resolve.

The steel of his sword glowed bright blue.

Falbic’s eyes widened with interest, ‘Is he channeling some kind of mantra?’

…

I look at his sword glowing but raise my brow.

Arthur got ready and slashed towards me as the swords energy rippled out in a decent wave and hit me.

I stood there and defended it with my right forearm.

‘What!

He took it head on!?’

Arthur’s eyes widened at the outcome.

Henry stood where he was and there was some smoke emitting from his forearm.

Other than that he was completely fine.

“Wo- Woah Folks!

Henry took the sword mantra head on and is standing like it was nothing!” Falbic said, a bit amazed, “It’s like he’s a human wall, standing ready to defend against anything.”

“Whoo!”

“Henry!”

The crowd cheered and a few called out my name in excitement.

The ones who had the most impact was Samantha and Elisabeth.

Samantha cheered on Henry while Elisabeth’s mouth stayed open at what happened.

‘It’s like he didn’t even flinch at that attack.’

Elisabeth knew how much a big deal was that.

Even though she knew it had less power, but she was one of the few who trained with Arthur and understood the danger of that sword mantra.

But in front of Henry, it amounted to nothing.

“Why are you holding back?” I ask, breaking Arthur out of his shock.

“I know you have more power, use it.”

“Tell me, why you aren’t moving from there?” Arthur asked, “Why are you just standing there without fighting?

Am I not strong enough?”

“Well…” I think of an answer, “It’s more like, you haven’t done anything to make me move then I should to move, do you get what I’m saying?”

“…So you’re saying my attacks aren’t strong enough?” Arthur had a dark cloud over his face as I clap.

“Exactly man, that’s it.”

Arthur bend back and his sword glowed brighter than before, “Then I’ll make you move!”

“Good!” I pull up my right hand, “I’ll wait for the demonstration.”

“Haaa…” Arthur took in a deep breath and called out as the sword in his grasp attained more power.

“Blue Flash!” Arthur called and pointed his sword at me as a long beam of energy came for me.

I stood there and faced the beam with just my right hand.

“Phish!”

I felt a burning sting on my palm as I stop the beam with my hand.

“Haaaa!” Arthur screamed as he poured more power at the beam and it went out further.

Even with the pain, I stood my ground.

“Heeee.” I groan slightly and stood upright, facing the beam head on with only one hand.

Arthur poured a bit more energy before the beam dwindled and flashed out of existence.

“Haa… Haa…” Arthur groaned as his shocked eyes watched me still standing tall.

If my hand at his first attack, was a bit smoking, then this time there was a lot of smoke.

My palm glowed red with some burns as I watch steam flow out.

“Hahaha…” But I laugh.

Even as the searing pain burned my right hand, I felt good at stopping that attack so coolly.

“That wasn’t your all, was it?” I grin as I see Arthur’s stamina dropping down to sixties, “Because it’d be disappointing if it came to only that much.”

Arthur gritted his teeth.

Yet he couldn’t complain to Henry.

He poured quite a bit of energy on that attack.

It was a bit shocking for Arthur but he wasn’t going to stop yet.

“Since you ask… I’ll entertain you, Henry.” Arthur said and stood up.

“Oh?…

finally getting serious huh.”

“I’d reckon you should use your sword to defend this time.” Arthur grind his sword to the ground.

“This one’s going to hurt.”

I smile and stand my ground.

Arthur closed his eyes and I saw him dumping all the energy into his sword.

After a moment, even Falbic’s eyes widened at the way Arthur’s sword glowed.

It had a neon blue light that seemed very pure.

“Thing!”

Arthur pulled out the sword that turned heavy with energy and put it over his shoulder, “Get ready… I’m ending this fight!”

“That’s my line, dude.”

Arthur seemed impassive to my words.

He’s calm look quickly turned to fury as he screamed while swinging down his sword. frёewebηovel.cѳm

“Haaaa… LION SIGMA SLASH!”

The sword poured all of its energy in a big neon blue arc as it rushed towards its target with precision.

My eyes wavered at the immense energy thing coming towards me.

I put both hands in front of me as my only defense.

The attack came fast and hit me straight on as I had one thought before impact.

‘I don’t think this is a good idea.’
