Chapter 4

Dary and the girl with the blond hair appeared in a forest. Dary looked around and smiled. Then the girl spoke up.

"Sir, thank you for saving me..."

"Don't get me wrong; I didn't save you out of charity. I need information about this world. Also, I have a proposal."

"S-sir, what do you mean?"

"I will tell you later; now we have better things to do... we are expecting guests... It seems they really want to test my patience! I guess it is time I slightly show off."

Said Dary, and before the girl could have spoken, someone landed next to them.

"Vordo, since you came here, I shall demonstrate that you should not face, oppose, and most importantly, disdain your creator."

The person dashed at Dary; however, this time, he was wearing a full black plated armour along with his bucket. The man and Dary crossed blades, and the impact created a devastating wave of wind, shattering many of the trees around them and blasting the blond girl away.

"How dare you call yourself my creator?! Lord Ainz has already told me that he had long ago died! How dare you disrespect him?! How dare you even speak about him, you damn insect!!"

"I will show you!"

Dary grabbed his sword with both of his hands and, with great force, pushed Vordo away. Vordo was sliding on the ground and used his blade to slow down, but the moment he looked back at Dary, he found himself in a brand new area. The two of them were in a gigantic white cube. When Vordo looked at Dary and started running toward him, he could see that Dary's amber eyes were glowing.

"Where the hell are we?!"

Shouted Vordo as he clashed with Dary once again, but this time, Dary kicked Vordo in the head right after they clashed.

"You shouldn't worry about it. Let's just say this is a place where we can let loose. Also, using one of my favourite swords against you would be unfair, so I will give you a handicap."

Dary smiled, and his red sword vanished, and then a wooden sword appeared in his grip.

"You dare to look down on me?! I was only playing with you so far. Do you really believe you have any hope of surviving? You have offended someone you shouldn't have and disrespected my creator. No matter what, you have to die here! "

"Hah! BRING IT ON! VORDO!"

Dary pointed his sword at Vordo, who only smiled. Dary lowered his wooden sword and leaned back. Just in time because Vordo vanished and appeared right beside him and brought his blade to behead Dary. Vordo's blade only managed to cut the rags covering Dary's face. Although seemingly Vordo was in a better position, he had no time to react to Dary's next move. Dary thrust his sword into Vordo's armour, who was forced to slide back slightly. The impact was so strong that it left a small mark on the armour. However, the wooden sword didn't seem to suffer any damage. As for Dary, he rolled back and stood up with a smug smile.

"Come on, give me a real challenge, Vordo!"

"How dare you..."

Before Vordo could have finished his sentence, Dary dashed forward at such a great speed that Vordo could barely react. The two of them crossed blades again; however, Dary quickly pulled his sword back, and after spinning around, he hit his opponent's knee. The armour was once again deformed, yet, Vordo didn't care about it. Vordo's blade gained a light orange aura, and then he unleashed a powerful swing aimed at Dary. Dary was hit by the attack, and he was sent sliding a few meters.

"Alright, I guess it was enough for a warm-up! Now, prepare, Vordo."

"Hah! Stop bluffing; I am sure I gutted you! There is no way you can continue for much longer. An insect-like you should accept its fate and shouldn't try to extend its meaningless life by a few seconds."

Declared Vordo; however, he was surprised when Dary took off his clothes except for his underwear. He had a tiny red line on his stomach and nothing else. Vordo, after noticing the damage he inflicted, slightly tightened his grip on his blade and was about to dash forward; however, he was unable to move as Dary was right in front of him and had his weapon touching Vordo's bucket.

"Don't fuck around; I will now fight you seriously!"

Commented Dary as he slightly raised his sword above Vordo's bucket and hit it. The attack was so strong that the bucket was seriously deformed, and Vordo fell to his knees; however, before he hit the ground, he wanted to slash Dary once again, but to no avail. Dary effortlessly jumped over the incoming blade, and he hit Vordo's bucket once again while he was airborne. Dary's attack sent the bucket flying off Vordo's head and landed not a few meters away from him. Vordo was a seemingly young man. He was bold and had green eyes.

"HOW DARE YOU INSECT?!"

Screamed Vordo, whose blade gained a greenish aura and swung it at Dary. After the blade was used, the aura erupted in the direction the blade was swung. Dary took the blast head-on; however, a moment later appeared behind Vordo. Vordo lost his left arm in Dary's attack, yet he instantly raised his blade to cut Dary down.

"It seems I made you into such a weak fighter. Or you are just too full of emotion; thus, you are not focused enough? Either way, it was a mistake I have created you... I thought you'd be cleverer and more adaptive... your failure is my failure as a creator. And as the creator, I must erase the disappointment I have created."

Vordo pulled his weapon back and jumped back. He slowly brought his katana to his left side and slightly leaned forward, and stared at Dary while trying to regulate his breathing.

"Fine, I will give you the honour... Let's end everything in a quick draw."

Said Dary as he took up the same stance as Vordo. Around Vordo, a thin green aura appeared; as for Dary, a thick and much stronger red aura appeared. Vordo's only gave a slight glow to him, but it was not true for Darsy's. His was so dense that it slightly distorted the air around him. The time seemed to slow down around the mas they were focusing, and suddenly, the two of them dashed forward at an unbelievable speed, and they clashed.
