Sword play!

Chapter 90: Sword Play!!!

In one of the floating temples, deep within the monastery, a pair of green eyes watched the duel between Lancelot Jr and Elder Di, she smiled as she contemplated on some things.

"What a remarkable descendant James has chosen, although I've commanded my monks not to join the war, the human might have a fighting chance through this young man." She murmured before her face turned sad.

"James, I hope you're not dead. Please come back" she said before turning and entering into the temple and disappearing out of sight.

A few days passed after the duel, Lancelot Jr had become somewhat a controversial figure within the monastery. Some saw him as a nuisance, some saw him as unfathomable, some simply didn't care, but mostly, not a single day went by that he wasn't talked about.

Lancelot Jr was practicing the set of sword moves given to him by Elder Di, he had done it over and over again but he simply could not pull off the flexibility and the speed that Elder Di did when he showed Lancelot Jr an example by practicing it himself.

Lancelot Jr felt something was missing and indeed something was, he also thought that

Elder Di was intentionally holding back some pointers which he needed, and he felt that Elder Di was doing this in order to frustrate him. As he was getting tired of not making headway, a woman appeared before him.

She was extremely beautiful, her skin was white, extremely white and she had a bit of a glow. She was like an ancient being almost unfathomable. She didn't look completely human although her figure was that of a female She was like a mixture of human and elf with her pointy ears.

The woman came towards Lancelot Jr as he stood with frustration from his lack of a breakthrough in his sword practice. "You lack belief," the woman said.

"Who are you?" Lancelot Jr asked as he got really curious.

The woman just smiled and stretched forth her hand to Lancelot Jr "give me your sword.

Lancelot Jr was confused but for some weird reason he trusted her and handed his sword over.

Almost immediately, the spirit speaker spoke, she is the most powerful Elder monk in this monastery, she is at the very least a million years old. The first time I heard of her, I was a little girl, growing my strength in the water tribe before I learnt of the legend of James Night. Her name is Elder Kali. Don't ask any questions just listen to her instructions." The spirit speaker paused then continued.

"She is a very good friend of James Night. In fact, legend has it that they were once lovers but both parties separated due to Elder Kali's sick drive for power, she wanted to be as strong as James Night, she loved him but her desire for power was much more.

She searched tireless for power and at a time, a god gave her an elixir in exchange for spending a night with her but he didn't tell her that the elixir was made for elves, so she took the elixir made for elves without knowing of the side effects. It made her mutate, it also gave her long life. James left her because she was too stubborn and overbearing, by the time she came to her senses and wanted to make up, James was long gone. She gave up her search after years of fruitless search."

Lancelot Jr stared at the green-eyed lady before him, she only wore a simple blouse which got to her thighs. Her legs were white like her entire body, it almost feels like chalk had been used to write on it.

She swung the sword ao flawlessly and moved like she was dancing, she did it under a tree that was close by, the leaves that were falling were all pierced but the movement was so fast and so fluid that it was hard to take notice.

By the time she stopped moving so many leaves were halved on the ground from the midvein. She did it without paying any particular attention to the leaves themselves. Lancelot Jr was stunned, "this is swordplay" he yelled excitedly. Swordplay is a level 5 move from the series of sword moves given to him by

Elder Di to practice.

This particular skill set is the peak of skills present. It could be used to kill multiple amounts of people in an aerial attack. It is extremely lethal and fast, it is also a dancing sword move.

"Now you try," Elder Kali said as she handed the sword over to Lancelot Jr. Swordplay was a level 5 technique, Lancelot Jr had barely grasped the level one techniques and now he was being asked to try the level 5 technique. He didn't complain and instead proceeded to try.

As he held the sword, an imprint of information appeared in his mind, like someone impressed something in his head, as he moved, his motion was flawless, he gasped but he didn't stop, rather he continued, he did the second move, the third move the fourth move, by the time he completed the 40th move, he felt so light, like he could go against gravity, although he could fly using the air element, this weightless feeling came from the swordplay and not from his elemental control.

He knew right there that he could take on an army with that swordplay. "Thank you Elder" Lancelot Jr bowed respectfully.

"Hmmm, Elder? Kendra must have revealed my identity to you" Elder Kali said with a smile.

Lancelot Jr was stunned, 'she didn't even stop to mention the presence of a spirit speaker, she identified exactly the spirit speaker within him and she could even tell that she was the sort that could communicate. What a powerful being.

It must be said that even Sir Zuco with all the powers in the netherworld could only notice the presence of a spirit but couldn't tell the soul, only Sir Lenny could rely on memory palace of keeping the memory and information of both worlds to tell the exact spirit speaker.

"Don't worry, your secret is safe with me" she said with a smile. "To practice the sword, don't rely on brute force or strength, follow the sword principles as it is stated exactly, the fanciful moves can come after you've mastered it. Bye for now little one" she turned and flashed away, like an on and off switch she was out of sight.

Lancelot Jr stood there still stunned. "There are powerful beings in this world" he muttered to himself as he shook his head.
