章 5: SHADOW STRIKE

Prince Reigen was riding a white horse majestically. This wasn't in a fairy tale when the prince was riding a white horse, but that was the reality because Prince Reigen did have a white horse named Cirrus.

Cirrus was a stallion, and his white hair was silky and wispy. When running, strands of hair would fly like the clouds, cirrus.

The person who managed to infiltrate the palace of Shovalon had sent the firework signal to the Breviel army, and the troops immediately rushed to the palace to exterminate all the Wemor's witches.

The front-line troops had arrived at the palace first, and they had broken through the gates to quickly go look for the witches.

Unfortunately, the kingdom of Wemor was not only the kingdom for witches, but they had human troops too. To continue the quest, they had to fight the human army first.

They were mere mortals with no ability to use magic, and all they could do was fight with swords and spears. The Breviel troops had the upper hand as they were more advanced in terms of weaponry. Even their armor was stronger than the opponent's, and ordinary weapons couldn't tear through armor easily.

The kingdom of Breviel was famous for its weapons, and the royal troops used a special sword called Bloodquench. True to its name, the sword was indeed bloodthirsty. They slashed at human flesh like slicing paper, and even the bones of the opposing army could not be saved from the thirst for the sword.

Bloodquench was sharp enough to slice the skin and strong enough to split bone without dulling. Even the enemy's swords were nothing compared to the weapons possessed by the Breviel army.

The troops battled the enemy forces, and Prince Reigen set out in search of the witches. It was late at night, and the palace was dark and eerie. However, the fearless prince was not afraid of anything in the world. His steps were firm and bold as he began to search.

Entering the main hall of the palace, his ears suddenly caught a burst of laughter that reverberated throughout the hall. It was a large and tall hall, and the laughter filled the empty hall, seemingly wanting to intimidate the handsome prince.

Indeed he was the only one in the hall, and the prince cast his gaze to scan his surroundings. His grip on his sword tightened as he increased his vigilance.

Until finally, a black shadow flashed right at his side, and he reflectively swung his sword to slash at the shadow. It seemed that the opponent was a shadow, and his sword, Shadow Strike, might be able to perform better than any other sword.

Shadow Strike was his special sword made of the lightest material on Earth. It could be said that the sword was the lightest in the world. It was so light, and the black-haired prince could swing it easily.

However, even though it was as light as the wind, it was even sharper and stronger than the Bloodquench wielded by the Breviel army. Shadow Strike could even slice silk in half, and it could even split stone in half.

Knowing that his opponent was no ordinary human, Prince Reigen remained vigilant even though the shadow did not appear again. The black shadow was nowhere to be seen, but mysterious laughter still filled the empty hall.

"What a cunning prince of Breviel!" The laughter died down, replaced by a sneer from a woman's voice. "Do you think you can beat me after you managed to steal my magic wand, Prince Reigen?"

The owner of the name that had just been called by the mysterious voice remained alert, and he carried his body around in a circle to search for the source of the voice.

"Now you will see that you made a wrong calculation, Prince Reigen!"

And the black shadow flashed again, this time directly attacking the proud prince. The prince was slower, and he couldn't dodge the attacks in time. It was just a shadow attack, but he could feel pain in his left arm. When he brought his golden eyes to look at his arm, he could see red blood flowing from the injured arm.

Prince Reigen's breath hitched. He now realized that his opponent was indeed very strong.

Another series of laughter could be heard, and Prince Reigen increased his cautiousness once again.

"Now you know that you won't be able to defeat me, Prince Reigen? You better go back to Breviel if you want to stay alive. Sharass is in a good mood, and she will let you go if you stop minding her business!"

It was indeed the strongest witch Sharass who was attacking him, and Prince Reigen was a little nervous. He had never met Sharass before, but he had heard the story about the witch.

Sharass was the strongest witch in Wemor, and she was so evil and heartless. Legend said that she once killed more than 500 people in just two hours. That was such a horrifying story.

Prince Reigen was still in a daze, and another attack came at him. Now the attack managed to injure his right leg, causing him to kneel on the dusty floor.

Gritting his teeth, Prince Reigen felt like he was being humiliated by the evil witch. Gripping his sword tightly, he then managed to get on his two feet again.

"You are the strongest witch, right? How come the strongest witch only dare to fight using her shadow? That's such a dirty trick, and the real strongest witch won't do that kind of thing to fight a weak prince like me."

Prince Reigen knew that he was at a disadvantage because he wasn't stronger than the witch, but he was sure that he was smarter than the crafty witch. That was why he decided to provoke the witch.

And it seemed his provocation was successful because the black shadow gradually manifested into a real body. That was the strongest witch, Sharass!
