Chapitre 66: Chapter 66: Let's start the Real Fight
Looking at the frowning Arion standing in front of him, Daiki Kurosaki scratched the back of head in embarrassment and spoke. "I just wanted to test my skills against Your Majesty. I do not want to go for a death match."
A sudden silence enveloped the entire arena, everyone either fell on the ground or their jaws were hanging. Arion's brows relaxed as he replied.
"You should make these things Clear Count Kurosaki or should I call you Duke Kurosaki." Arion spoke with a small smile on his face.
"Hehe~ That will be after the match if you would be kind enough to grant my wish to have a battle with you, Your majesty." The old man laughed heartily in reply, even then his eyes were gleaming with happiness.
He was already thinking of how good his name sounded with the title.
'Duke Kurosaki, has a nice ring to it. Haha~ now finally I can finally boat back to the smith kid, who was acting all high and mighty with his Duke title.'
"Sure~ I haven't had a good battle in many years. This will be a good opportunity to move my bones so that they do not rust." Arion exclaimed, accepting Daiki's proposal to fight against him without the risk of lie and death.
The audience was shocked hearing their King's declaration. Even in the Private room the air of seriousness and anticipation suspended.
Afterall it was a fight between the strongest Ether user, one of the few strong people alive.
Who wasn't excited to see this fight take place.
Back in the private chambers, Kerian and Luna were sitting along with the rest of their families.
Keiran clenched the handle of the seat he was sitting on as he looked at the rising aura of Arion with a serious look.
'FInally, show me the true extent of your abilities!.'
In the middle of the stage Daiki took a stance while holding the sword on his waist, while his other hand was aimed at the handle of the sword.
A gust of wind spread with his figure as a center, suddenly from the ground several swords spurted out surrounding his body.
Arion signaled the commentators to start the match, his relaxed posture did not bother the head of the Kurosaki family.
"Although it's a shame that we can not witness a life and death match of this level" his words caused Daiki's lips to twitch but went back to normal as the guy continued.
"But still we are having a rare event in front of us, we are going to watch our King The strongest Expert in the world in action after so long. So without any delay let's start the match."
*swoosh* *BOOM*
As soon as his words fell a firework was launched in the sky that enveloped a vast area of the clear sky indicating the start of the match.
The swords from the ground shot towards Arion at an incredible speed astonishing the viewers. Before the swords could come in contact with him they were stopped by an invisible field.
Arion's figure Glowed in golden light as the swords were sent backwards in an instant.
"WOOOOOOO"
The audience started cheering for the king while jumping in their seats. Under their astonished eyes the swords that were sent away went back towards Daiki joining the swords still floating around him.
"These tricks won't work against me, you should know better than that old Man Daiki" Arion exclaimed while standing in the same position he had been standing since the start of the match.
"Well it seems that way, let me move my old bones a little too." The old man chuckled while he was still in the same stance.
Suddenly his figure glowed with silver light.
Wind started moving around his figure and his feet moved for the first time.
His figure moved like a flash zooming in towards Arion.
With a slight smile on his face Arion raised arms pointing his index finger towards the old man.
The head of the Kurosaki family found himself enveloped in a gravitational field causing his to stagger but with another boost of Ether he gained his momentum and slashed at Arion's head.
As if expecting him to make a move like that Arion side stepped dodging the blade by a hairsbreadth.
Turning the gaze away from the blade that was just an inch away from his eye, Arion looked at the smiling old man and the several swords charging at him from different directions.
With a swift move he jumped back and waved both of his arms.
A wave of golden ether spread in the area, the sword started to fall one by one but the old man kept creating new swords and charged ahead.
With a flick of his finger Arion moved a sword fallen on the ground causing it to float in his direction.
The sword coated in a golden glow slammed in Daiki's attack. Without losing any time they started exchanging Sword moves.
Sitting on a luxurious sofa inside of the private Ethan Bove Looked at the stage with cold eyes as he thought,
'Show me, how much have you improved these days Arion. The old man needs to make you go all out.' looking at the black band on Arion's Wrists his thoughts continued 'would he even be able to do that.'
As he was thinking that Arion's voice echoed inside the entire arena.
"Let's take it up a notch shall we." The old man laughed out light as a reply.
"Hahahaha. Very well, I am warmed up as well."
The old man exclaimed. He stabbed his sword in the ground in front of him and started to pull the upper part of his robes revealing his old and frail chest riddled with countless scars.
The scars were an evidence to the countless battles he had been through in his entire life till now.
"They were just warming up?" One of the people in the audience asked with a shocked look on his face.
"They are on a whole different level. No wonder why Mr.Smith did not go out previously in the championship." another man spoke up from the crowd.
Their exclamation caught everyone off guard, commoners never get a chance to see the high ranking people in aaction except the time they are in arena which is very rare itself.
"Now that they can get Duke Rank in the Arena We can see more of such action in the next Championship."
While they were talking, Old Man Daiki was finished tying up his robes, pulling the sword back from the ground he placed on his shoulder.
As soon as the sword touched his shoulders swarms of swords came out of the ground one after another.
They kept coming and coming as if they were escaping a prison they have been trapped in for a long time.
Under the fearful and shocked eyes of the viewers the sword assembled together forming a giant colossal being of just swords.
With an exhilarating grin on his face the old man looked at the king and Shouted.
"Let's start the real fight!!"
