My writing is not the best but please bear with me.

"Huh?!"

Aither's voice sounded in his ears and it made him startled.

(Not the third prince?! Is he crazy?! Then..... Who is he?)

Confused thoughts filled Jackass's mind, he wondered who Aither's identity truly is or perhaps he was just joking.

Perhaps this is just a joke to make him distracted but in any case it didn't matter that much anymore.

No matter who his opponent is, he'll just have to crush them.

"Argh!"

And with a strike using his left shoulder he hit Aither behind him.

Aither got sent flying a few meters back and as soon as he landed he held his left abdomen.

It was aching from the strike just a few moments ago.

"Damn that hurts...."

(I forgot to slit his throat because I wasted my time speaking....)

Aither said and thought as he made a mental note in his head to not make the same mistake again.

He got up and stood in a fighting stance once again.

However, when he was about to grab his sword he noticed that it was no longer there.

And that was when he realized l, that the moment he got sent flying he let go of his sword.

(Another mistake I should correct.)

Making another mental note in his mind he rushed towards his sword.

Jackass on the other hand was waiting for that moment.

(He is nothing without his sword.)

That was wrong and at the same time correct.

Currently, Aither only knew how to fight with a sword but it was all just some basic swordsmanship.

To fight head on by only using your fist against a bigger opponent with a much higher experience and skills that you is simply stupid.

Yet, in order to retrieve his sword he needed to do exactly that.

Then, was he afraid? Was he scared that his opponent is much more skillfull than him, had a sword, and much more experience?

Of course not, such things had already happened to him in his previous world and he confronted it all head on.

There is no need to fear the strong, if you are weak then be confident.

Fight with your all....with confidence....and only then shall you ever get a chance to win.

That was his mindset and it didn't change much when he arrives in this world.

Aither circulating all the Aeven in all parts of his body simultaneously, he rushed forward fearlessly.

Meanwhile, Jackass tightly grasped the great sword with both of his hands and launched an attack.

An attack that sent flying an Aevieny slash and it headed towards his direction at an incredible speed.

(This strike.... I need to dodge.)

Mustering up all the strength in his body he dodge the slash with all his might.

And he managed to avoid it by a few centimeters width.

The strike managed to leave a slash on the floor but it left no wounds on Aither.

By then, he successfully retrieved his sword.

(Noice!)

"Now we can fight properly Jackass."

"...are you insulting me or are you calling my name?"

"A little bit of both. Never mind that let's continue our fight shall we?"

Aither spoke in a provocative manner and Jackass responded in kind.

"You've gotten quite talkative haven't you third prince? Well, no matter, I'll still rip you to shreds! Ahahahahaha!"

The fight started once again, a great sword user against a single-edged sword user.

Their bodies like their sword were big and small.

However, their strength were even, at least that was until Aither managed to strike an opening.

An opening that he purposely created by striking in only three places.

His head, his right arm, and his abdomen.

He only striked those spots until now.

Then, he concentrated all of his energy and so did Jackass.

Their fight reached to the point where they gave it their all and focusing only in one thing.

A strike to finish the match.

A strike to kill their opponents.

With that said, Aither sword's turned illusory.

It can be seen but you will feel as if it was never there.

This mystical phenomena happened on its own and even Aither didn't know the cause of it.

He just went with the flow and performed his strike.

An illusory strike that pierces through one's vision.

"Haaaa!!!"

"..."

Jackass shouted as he released his attack that was both domineering and destructive.

While Aither striked it head on, facing it with his all as he received all the damaged.

Well, at least that's what was supposed to happen.

However, at the same time the attack clashed with Aither.

He vanished without a trace and the attack hit no one.

"Where did that bas—?! "

As he was about to finish his words, Aither arrived before him.

Jackass's was shocked. Someone who he thought was killed had arrived before him.

But he immediately calmed himself and tried to deliver another blow.

But...

"This time..."

Aither spoke and without continuing his words he slashed his sword passed through Jackass's neck.

His head got decapitated and removed from his neck and what soon followed was a fountain of blood splurting out of his neck.

He was killed and at that moment Aither had already jumped a few meters back to avoid getting blood on his clothes.

Then, he continued the words from before.

"I'll kill you without wasting my time with words."
