Undefeated King II

Lorex is bad at one on one fight, he is someone who usually uses his lage Axe, to change the terrains, his attack power is so destructive that even his teammates fights away from him.

'he is someone who need large motions to use his powerful attacks' Ash mumbled and then using blink he appeared behind him and used 10,000 army killing sword.

It was a skill that deals 1,000% physical damage to all targets visible in sight in range of 5 m.

But since Ash can't just go and announce his identity he used silent invocation of skill which resulted in penalty of -50%.

So the attack of his move was reduced to 500% attack power.

Since he attacked from blindsight, the attack hit Lorex on back,

[You have dealt 155,660 damage to the target!]

Lorex nodded seeing this and...

"You are great, I will be serious now!"

Kurururung!

The Red armor that Lorex was wearing became redder. It was the true power of the Red Armor that had the ability to amplify the wearer's stats. It meant that Lorex acknowledged Ash.

Ash nodded and then kept attacking him,..

[You have dealt 6,900 damage to the target!]

[You have dealt 7,630 damage to the target!]

[You have dealt 8,400 damage to the target!]

[You have dealt 9,390 damage to the target!]

The duration of Haste is 5 minutes and it's still 3 minutes left, Ash then suddenly blinked as Lorex throws his axe at him, while shouting Volcanic Explosion.

It is is a wide range skill that deals flame and explosion damage and Ash have no desire to confront it, Ash used Black and White spell, a magic counter attack spell, that sucks all attack on him and return back.

he created after utilising Magic creation function of his class.

As Ash used this spell, a black portal materialised in front of him and sucked Lorex Axe, 

"What's that?" Lorex exclaimed seeing this and Ash smiled and then a white portal appeared as black one vanished and Lorex attack came out of it and attacked Lorex.

"what!!" Lorex gritted his teeth as he braced himself for impact, 

Kabooommm!!

[You have dealt 1,695,024 damage to target]

[You have dealt 1,269,950 damage to target]

[You have dealt 1,851,777 damage to target]

Ash didn't stop there and used blockade sword that deals 200% of his physical damage and blocks his target for 8 seconds, and then used Massacre sword a word that deals 8,000% of his attack power to all target in sight.

[You have been blocked! You can't move for 8 seconds and can't use any skills or spells!]

"This...!" just as Lorex came out of explosion he felt his body stiffen.

but he was not given any chance to think as another powerful attack hit him.

[Lorex health has fallen to a minimum, so Duel mode is finished!]

[The Third Knight Lorex has been defeated.]

-It was great battle, here have more strength and defeat the second ranked now.

Madra said and Ash felt a rush of power once again but it was small as there was only change of 500 stats.

"are you alright?" Ash reached Lorex who has fallen to his knees and passed his hand to him.

Lorex looked at Ash and grabbed his hand, pulling himself up he said " You are truly great"

"I learned a lot from this" Lorex smiled and said.

"I also learned a lot" Ash replied as his Magic sensitivity and Super Sensitivity both rose by 3 points.

Lorex shook his head and said " You are humble" , 'Maybe that's why you won' Lorex inwardly thought looking at Ash.

'We have become over confident' 

[Affinity with Lorex +50]

"Now where will you go after this?" Lorex asked as he and Ash sit in a inn and have a meal together.

"I will challenge more powerful people" Ash said, giving a subtle hint.

"Hmm, then how about challenging Lucas" Lorex asked.

"Lucas? who is he?" Ash asked.

"he is above me in rank, My rank is 3rd and he is second, You might be defeated against him though" Lorex laughed and said.

"Okay,, please introduce me to him" Ash nodded and said.

After all unlike Lorex both first and second rank don't patrol, they usually live at base and only leave when there is emergency.

***

'Honestly, it's like entering Lion's Den' Ash thought as he followed after Lorex to Red Knights base.

If his identity as Madra's successor leaked everyone here will become his enemy.

"Wait here" Lorex left Ash in guest room as he went somewhere.

Ash nodded and looked outside the windows , outside he can see many Black Knights training while Red Knights guiding them.

-Those red ones are so carefree

Madra said, and Ash nodded.

Unlike Black Knights who are practicing red ones are enjoying and lazing around.

"Red Knights have declined after all" Ash said and told the story of previous Gold Generation Red Knights.

-What a pity, I hoped your opponents were those Golden generation ones.

Ash lips witched hearing this but he didn't said anything.

"lets go, Lucas is ready to fight you" Lorex entered and said and then Ash followed after him to arena,

"who is he?" 

'A new comer?"

"I heard he is challenging Sir Lucas" 

Various murmurs filled the arena as Ash appeared.

Climbing on the Arena he looked at Lucas , a man in his late 20s, he appeared calm but Ash was able to sense powerful Aura around him.

"I heard many things from Lorex" Lucas said as Ash shared the same stage as him.

"I hope those were good things" Ash smiled and responded.

"hahahaha, Of course they were" Lucas laughed and said.

While Lorex went to stand aside with a beautiful blue haired girl.

"Sir Mercedes, he is the one I was talking about" Lorex bowed to her.

Mercedes rank 1 of Red Knights, and most powerful one among all Red Knights.

"hmm, I can see ,he is powerful" 

"but are you sure he is magic swordsman?" Mercedes asked as he looked at Ash with keen Insight, The Eyes that even Gods are wary of.

"he used Swordsmanship and few spells to defeat me" Lorex said.

"it means he went easy on you" Mercedes said as he looked at Ash who is legend in magic.

'Is he related to Braham?' Mercedes thought of legendary magician as she looked at Ash while Lorex exclaimed and frowned looking at Ash,

'It seems he is greater than I thought' Lorex thought as he bitterly smiled.

The reason Mercedes mistaked Ash for legend cause he is currently imperfect Myth, and to become true Myth, even Ash doesn't know what are those conditions.
