Chapter 9

"Ahahaha... Just something I'd expect from the Guard of Pierus!"

The empty space started to reveal a tall man with long black hair, some strands long enough to touch the floor. A red weapon that looked bigger than an average sword, with sharp parts that looked like crystal around itself. A smirk on his face worn as if it's his usual expression.

Whoever he was, he was strong. To block one of Yhur's fastest attacks proved the man's strength. "You may be fast but not fast enough."

Yhur's spear went back to his hand on command and a fighting stance was made. Clearly showing a manner of fight. "Yhur, you can't fight now or else you'd faint!" Mac slightly pushed Yhur back with one arm. Yet Yhur chose not to back down and moved Mac's arm from his way. "This isn't any of your busi-"

The mysterious man was suddenly hit by a powerful force behind him, a punch strong enough to alert that man.

It was Jun, who secretly hid behind the trees as Yhur and Mac was having their little argument. Jun was able to sneak up behind the man as well, using his skills to do a little something. Yhur was obviously baffled, to think the person he was supposed to meet in a certain location had suddenly appeared just behind.

"What the hell are you doing?! That man is no someone to joke around with!"

The mysterious man grabbed his weapon and swung it with the purpose of slashing Jun. But with a weapon that heavy, there would be a consequence that comes with it as well. He was unable to swing the weapon with potential while Jun was able to drop his body on time with his hands as support of his weight. Using part of his strength, Jun used his right leg to kick upwards as getting up would be a risk.

However he was yet unable to aim fast and precisely enough as his body was not perfectly balanced. Having to roll his body around a meter away from the man.

"Interesting, who knew that you've found someone skilled enough in combat." Either way, he was simply holding back.

Smaller copies of his sword was brought out from a different dimension and shot to target Jun, assuming that is his power.

Fast attacks would've killed Jun if his reflexes weren't fast enough. Just a single attack could already Pierce 2 foot long inside the ground. Despite his panic inside, he does not dare to stop... As it would only result with his death and he still has things he wants to do.

One by one the swords multiplied as well as Jun's nervousness. But he still slowly starts to get closer to the man, Yhur and Mac could only simply watch.

Jun noticed it, Yhur's spear that he dropped after shooting directly to the man. If he had to fight against this person, he had to learn how to use other weapons as well. So he had to come up with the plan in the span of 3 second estimating that it would be that short if he continued dodging at this pace. And he immediately thought of one.

"Yhur!"

Turning his head towards Jun, "Throw me whatever weapon you were using!" Hinting that he may have a plan to do. By pure reflexes, Yhur grabbed Mac's arm, telling him to throw the spear to Jun since all his energy were used up for some apparent unknown reason.

But looking at the scene, there was a very small chance of Jun recieveing the spear properly. The man was literally in front of them, blocking every possible way to throw the spear.

Knowing his fast movements, he could be able to stop the spear from even getting past him. There was nothing he could do. Noticing this, even though he was still hesitant, "MAC!" He was in a hurry, even Mac knew this was too reckless. "There's no way for him to avoid it, there nothing we can d-"

"JUST TRUST ME YOU BRICK WALL OF SUPERMAN STRENGTH!"

"Ouch"

Grabbing the spear without a single idea of where to throw it. There was quite a large space just at the right side of the mysterious man. It would be difficult to achieve the spear if Jun had to run that far. The forest path was quite large as well.

As reckless and risky as it is, there was no other option. With a fraction of his strength, he threw the spear just where he wanted to aim.

The man already noticed the spear but blocking Jun would be rather easy. Jun was far left and away from the spear, he could stop Jun of he wanted. A situation that would simply grant him the win.
