Chapter 43 This is how… Old people fight? Part3

Raga stretched out his right hand calling his blade,

"Lomri" has he ran towards the direction of Tetso. But the chief remain still, even as Raga approaches still unfazed.

(Tetso my oldest friend, I still remember the day when your grandfather took us out of the 'Red Belt' and said he would not let us be slaves of war as a child, or when my father decided we should become a blacksmith Village who takes no side in any war. You honestly think that they were doing it for the betterment of the village, you poor fool they were only seeking peace for themselves).

As he enter striking distance of Tetso, with Lomri in his right hand preparing for sweeping slash from the side.

(But even as a child you were so, special. Although it was my family's decision that this Village was based on and you were just another failure to come live with my family of legendary blacksmiths. You said that you knew I was interested in the chief position, and you would have given me the chance. Please, spare me the pity… both our grandfather's were the founding members of this Village, yet while you guys were the face, personality and the voice we were and in the shadow working sweating years of tears into our arts. The hidden truth about your family other than your son, there's actually no real blacksmiths in your entire bloodline).

Tetso then effortlessly stomps on the ground with his right foot, creating an extremely heated up drift as well as molted rock to surround him.

(My oldest friend Raga, what would make you forsake your own village for your own selfish benefit. I know you you're not a coward like you're pretending to be, no matter how old you are that will never change. We fought together, so that the generations after us would not, and now you're willing to throw them into another unnecessary war?) Tetso thought.

While splashing up the surrounding wave of molten rock, with another stomp to his side. Catching Lomri in a small pillar of molten rocks has Raga instinctively shifts away from the hot molten rocks. Only to be caught up in the wave of heat which lifts his body off the ground,

(Damnit!, you walking furnace)

Has he was completely defenseless in the air, Tetso immediately throws a right hook at Raga he whispered "Break his bones, Gada".

"Varmee!" Raga shouted summoning the shield in front of him in a nick of time, as Tetso's lands.

(Sfx Wabam)

The shockwave from the hits flowed through the patterns along the shield releasing along the edges, Shockwave coming off the edges of The shield managed to blew away all the melted rocks to the side between them. Raga then used his shield as footing, back sprinted to get some distance. But as he holded out his arms to summoned back his blade and shield he realize.

(What the?, I can't feel my blade I was the sharpest blades in my arsenal).

But as his shield return back over his head, giving him clear view on the chief he realized that the chief had the sword in his hands.

"So this is one of your 'epic blade' was it?, made out of reforge heated fire manaore… no Gemclusters?. Well the design is perfectly for sweeping slashes, clearly it's not meant to be used for mass production has it's so sharp I don't think this could be hold in a normal scabbard. The blade's edge is way too sharp for dueling, if I didn't know any better I think this blade was perfectly designed to pierce through magic armor… or maybe mana armored flesh?" Tetso asked has he slowly melted the blade in his right hand.

(Oh crap… I wasn't expecting him to be able to use his fire crest again, but how).

Raga flashback to the fight in between Lieg and Kari,

(That boy… I see, he did say he was from the demon continent, that's the only place that could still be using cultivating coal. Afterall it became redundant once we had a furnace Olk, in the workshops, so he's been slipping the chief illegal substances banned by the church for the last 9 months) Raga thought.

"Oh that… you're reading into it too much old friend, although I am worried about your health. I thought the fire had dead to ignited the dragon crest, or at least had burned down to embers years ago. You should really think about coming out of that very soon, I wouldn't want you to burn out" asked Raga.

Has he noticed the Chiefs attention was on The Shield,

"Oh this shield is my greatest creation on defense it instantly disperse the force of any attack outwards, meaning I have means of attacking you while you can't land a single punch on me" said Raga as he puts away his fan in his left hand into his long sleeve,

"Kutta!" Equipping himself with the two blades in both his hands.

"Break his armor" Tetso whispers as it gets into position leaning forward, right arm out, right foot forward. As he then flashback to his discussion with Lieg.

"I have to be honest you, you've done a fine job of protecting your village single-handedly so far, even with one foot in the grave due to you over using that unique ability of yours" said Lieg,

"How do you know of that boy!?" Tetso shouted getting up out of his seats.

"That's easy, I know the person who made it. In fact I know the person who placed that curse on your family",

"You… you know who my grandfather made a deal with, this so-called Beautiful heavenly devil, boy?" Tetso asked.
