Under the mask!

"Sorry it's not that I look down on you, but I'm afraid if I go all out I'll kill you by accident"

Hitting the undefeated one from behind, Arthur couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. Finally, he had found someone to take out his accumulated anger one

At least he thought he did until a sudden change occurred.

*Cough* *Cough*

"So, you were a mage hunh, I expected you to be an aura user since you used a sword"

"However, none of that matters since you've revealed yourself, you won't find it that easy to catch me off guard"

Saying that the undefeated one stood up from the rubble unscathed by Arthur's previous attack, even his clothes did have a mark making Arthur's pupils dilate as he thought of a sudden possibility

'Magic Armor!'

Made from the flesh and bones of magical beasts and special metals by an alchemist and blacksmith, magic armors could be said to be one of the rearrest items in the whole of Elias

For according to the beasts used, apart from the defense of the beast before death, the magic armor is able to obtain special enchanted qualities such as fire resistance+1 or blunt weapon resistance +2 increasing their users' capabilities by a whole dimension

*Wait a minute! Doesn't that mean if he's wearing a dragon-type magic Armor then I need to break through a dragon's defense*

Talking to himself, although he said so but Arthur knew it was almost near impossible to have dragon-type magic armor due to the amazing strength of dragons themselves

If anything, Arthur speculated the robe and mask he wore would be from some type of ogre or something, a not-to-strong beast but with good defense and regenerative properties

With this in mind, Arthur knew he couldn't hold back like he had planned earlier

"Leona! Change of plans!"

"I want you not to kill the one in glasses over there, and take the others as far away from here as possible"

"I'm going to go all out!"

Yes in order to avoid overturning himself into water, Arthur decided to use his full strength and end it as soon as possible

And Leona hearing this, didn't say anything but rather just nodded at him and dragged to the now unconscious Avalon and Sabrina along with her

"Damn it! Who do you think you're ignoring!"

Yelling at Arthur, the undefeated one's body began to glow with a sky-high red aura, the surrounding cave began to crack and tremble under its pressure

Even the unconscious Sabrina and Avalon began to frown their faces as they had trouble breathing under the immense aura, fortunately, Leona at this moment was already taking them away from the area

Swinging his sword directly at Arthur, it seemed he too had no importance of dragging this fight out any longer

"Heaven deifying swordsmanship! One sword cuts the sk-!"

Unfortunately, just before he could finish his finishing move, his hands suddenly stopped mid-air making it impossible for him to attack anymore

In fact, he couldn't even move his whole body, only his eyes were able to wander about as he came to sight with the figure of Arthur standing in one place with only an arm slightly raised

"Innate magic! Blood control!" Murmuring under his lips, Arthur couldn't help but be satisfied with the effects of the new move he just tried

Just now he used the blood magic of the three blood elves thanks to the seeds, and as his first time of using it in actual combat he was not disappointed

Not only that but he couldn't wait to try out the innate abilities of his other dependents, surely, they wouldn't disappointed

However, before he did that, there was one thing Arthur had to confirm

*Hopefully, my guess isn't current and I'm just wrong* thought Arthur as he walked toward the undefeated one slowly while attaining his blood control before getting close enough to rip of his mask

............

Sending away Leona and the others, while he had said it was because he wanted to go all out and they would be in the way, truth be told that wasn't the main reason Arthur wanted them to go

In fact, based on what he could see from the undefeated one, Arthur was sure he could easily defeat him without any troubles.

The main reason he decided to send everyone was a suspicion he had held within him ever since the battle began

"Similar height, stature and swordsmanship, if it weren't for the voice I wouldn't have even needed to check"

"But if it's you, then why? Did you plan to do all this from the start? Was everything a lie?"

Talking to himself, Arthur couldn't help but feel distraught as he pulled up the undefeated one's mask, and sure enough it was none other than his uncle Amos's face underneath

Looking at the man who had been with him for almost thirteen years now and took care of him like a second father, Arthur couldn't believe his eyes

or perhaps he already believed it, that was the same reason why he sent Leona and the others away, so they wouldn't see his emotional side after coming to terms with the truth, and so Sabrina didn't wake up and discover her favorite uncle had kidnapped her

However, no matter which was the case, now that he had already confirmed who was under the mask, Arthur had an important thing to ask.

Why?

"Aren't you Amos the heavenly swordsman? I heard you were close to the Thornehearts and was even teaching their son aura and swordsmanship"

"ha-ha, hilarious! I wonder how Elias and Sephrina would feel knowing that their close friend was a cultist who kidnapped their only daughter!"

Pretending not to know who he was, Arthur spoke sarcastically trying to figure out Amos's objectives through simple provocation

Luckily, it seemed like his words just now struck a nerve as after hearing him speak, Amos's eyes couldn't help but turn red as he struggled under the blood control to shout

"What do you know! How could I be friends with those two!"

"They are the ones, who made me this way! They stole everything from me!"

"While they live in luxury, I have to use all my mana to maintain my lifeforce and teach their dumb kid"

"Thornehearts! I'll never forgive them!"

Hearing this, Arthur unknowingly fell silent, obviously things weren't as simple as they seemed.
