Bab 430: Kill them all

"Shut up, woman," was all Alex replied, not even throwing her a glance. His eyes were still glued to the masked man before him.

The woman seemed to be displeased by his remark that she straightened up and clenched her fists.

"Catch him," she ordered and the masked man attacked without a second thought, causing Alex to smirk.

In the next moment, the two engaged in a fierce battle of swords.

The masked man had pointed his sword, ready to strike Alex through his abdomen. Alex defended himself by swinging his sword in front of him, swiping the other man's blade away from his body, sparks flying from the contact. Alex then countered with an overhead slice, aiming to cut down the masked man in half lengthwise, but the masked man spun away from his impending doom, causing Alex's sword to smash on the ground, creating a large crack.
