24 The Undefeated one

"Damn it! Who are you? And put down my property right now!"

Facing Arthur and Leona who had just snatched Sabrina away from his hands, Avalon couldn't help but scream out again in anger as he wanted to kill both of them right there

However, Arthur who was trying his best to steady his emotions, couldn't help but focus on the cloaked figure standing behind Avalon

"And who might you be? Giving your attire is different from the rest of these guys, you're probably their leader or something"

"If that's the case, sorry but ill be needing to take you for some questioning after this," said Arthur as his eyes underneath the Oni mask repeatedly scanned his opponents

Different from the white robes and pointed hats the guys outside and Avalon wore, the mysterious figure war and all-black cloak and a faceless white mask with an octopus drawn on both the cloak in white and on the mask, a smaller one under his right eyelid in black.

Just looking at him and feeling his aura, Arthur could tell he was on a different level from the rest of the guys he had faced before

And perhaps he could sense Arthur too because, after a few seconds of keeping quiet, he suddenly spoke up answering

"You there, judging from your posture you don't seem very old. Didn't your parents ever tell you it's rude to ask for someone's name without telling yours?"

"Well, it doesn't matter since you're going to die here anyway, you might as well let my name be the last thing you hear before you die"

Taking a stride forward sword in hand he spoke

"I am the undefeated sword of the church of chaos, bathed in my master's glory and wreathed in his splendor"

"With one sword I clear all enemies and with another, I open a path"

"Before me, none shall stand, and behind me all are dead"

"I am the sixth limb in the church of chaos, the undefeated one!"

Hearing this, both Avalon who was about to get angry for being ignored, and Arthur couldn't help but be shocked

On the one hand, as a member of the church Avalon knew what the sixth limb meant and who the undefeated one was.

"The Sixth limb, much like an octopus the eight limbs of the church represent the eight highest powers in the church, with each of them capable of toppling smaller empires each if they wished to"

"It is said the first limb is capable of even destroying the Dragonborn empire alone if he wanted to, with him being the strongest and the eighth being the weakest"

"However, that isn't to say that the eighth limb is weak, rather it means that there are seven other monsters stronger than it"

Talking to himself, Avalon couldn't help but wonder why such a big shot got involved in today's plan, especially one like the undefeated one

A man said to have never lost a fight in his whole lifetime, among all the limbs only he dares claim to be undefeated

And as for Arthur, hearing the undefeated one introduce himself, Arthur couldn't help but chuckle

"ha-ha the undefeated one?"

"Only one sword needed?"

"Before you, none shall stand, and behind you all are dead?"

Laughing out loud, Arthur unknowingly had tears at the corners of his eyes as never had he seen such a shameless braggart in his two lives

And to say it so confidently without cringing? Arthur felt that maybe he might actually be undefeated

Thinking of this, Arthur soon regained his attention back to the matter at hand as he tried hard not to laugh

Fortunately, after taking a look at Sabrina in Leona's hand, it wasn't so hard to do.

"Alright then undefeated, you're coming with me."

"Leona, torture that guy over there, torture him for a bit then kill him as slowly as possible. How dare he call my sister his property"

Pointing at Avalon over near him, Arthur didn't even wait for her reply before pulling out his sword from, his scabbard and slashing it toward the undefeated one.

Obviously, he had faith in her abilities so there was no need to worry too much.

And to live up to this faith, as soon as Arthur left her side, Leona turned to look at Avalon who was already scared at the side

"Don't blame me, blame yourself for pissing off the young master."

......…..

[Arthur Pov]

*Clang! * *Clang! * *Clang! *

Leaving Leona, the sound of metal clashing soon filled the room.

For every attack Arthur had, the undefeated one had a counterattack

For every strike, there was a parry

It seemed as though he could predict Arthurs move before he could attack and chose the best move to deal with it

Something that was impossible for Arthur who could rival a sixth rank ability under his double mana and aura cultivation

"Could it be that's the undefeated one was some kind seventh or more rank user? Because predicting your opponent's move is a basic quality of an Aura knight or seventh circle mage"

"But if that's the case, why don't I feel any danger from him?"

"If he were rank seven, then by now my biological warning alarms would have been ringing by now"

*Bang! *

Just as Arthur was lost in thought, a huge sword came hitting his chest knocking him several feet back

"Who gave you the right to think of something else when facing me?"

"Is it that you don't take me seriously"

Shouting toward where Arthur flew, the undefeated one yelled menacingly ready to swing his sword once more and finish him off

However, just before he could he suddenly felt a chill go down his spine

"wha-!"

Unfortunately, it was two late

"Third level spell blink"

"Fourth level spell, flame arrows!"

*Boon! * Boom! * *Boom! *

Disappearing and reappearing right behind him, Arthur quickly activated two spells attacking him off guard

"Sorry it's not that I look down on you, but I'm afraid if I go all out ill kill you by accident" said Arthur as he wiped the dust off his shirt.
