บท 216: Fight (PT:2/End)

The people in the stands where silent when they saw their king injured however he, their king, just smiled. He was getting more and more excited as the fight went on. Daedalus could feel this as he was also getting more excited.

Luckily for the king the wound was shallow. Bolting forward the king slashed at Daedalus from the right. Daedalus Smiled at this thinking 'He wants to give me a similar wound.' In response to the blade coming at his right side Daedalus brought Icarus around and parried the blade. Luckily this seemed to disable the formless blade energy from forming.

After parrying the blade up to the right, Daedalus did a downward slash aimed at the king's left arm. The king was surprised at seeing his blade parried, likely because it hadn't happened in a long time. Still the king moved back, while doing so moving his sword back into position so that he could defend against the likely coming sword light.

The king as expected was correct and the formless sword energy flew at him. The king coated his sword in energy and countered the sword light, sending it into the ground. Daedalus was impressed by this and watched as the blade energy created a trench in the ground.

After the king parried the blade energy into the ground he ran forward towards Daedalus. As he was coming at Daedalus he swung his sword several times. Within less than a second the energy blades formed into an almost all encompassing net.

As he saw this Daedalus became more impressed. Rather than trying to dodge the attack Daedalus took a step forward and focused some energy into his blade, causing it to glow light red. Then he swung his sword in a wide arc from the right to the left, then up and down and finally from the lower left to upper right.

As he did this blazing red sword energy flew towards the net. The king was amazed by how Daedalus infused the fire attribute into his sword energy. The fire attribute sword energy that Daedalus had launched at the sword net arrived, slashing apart the sword net and burning it into nothing.

The king was utterly shocked by this sight as he knew that no ordinary flame could bring such a result. Only one other time had his sword net been countered by flames like this, and it was done by someone who focused only into flame arts, to the point they where made of fire itself.

In his surprise the king didn't notice Daedalus arriving behind him until Daedalus said "I win."

The king smiled wryly at this and turned around before bowing and saying "Thank you for the good fight, your majesty."

Daedalus chuckled and said "Let's head to the palace for a private chat."

The king nodded and followed behind Daedalus before saying "Also my name is actually Long Tian, or 'Dragon of Heaven', and I am part of the Long Clan. If possible may I follow you on your journeys?"
