Seven Legendary Sword

The Truth Is Bitter

Even though they are currently sharing warmth in front of a blazing fire, hearts are still tense. The skin of the body does not care about the warmth from fire, Zerlan's eyes continue to look at that man.

"Don't look at me too seriously, do you like me?" said the man in a slightly mocking tone.

Zerlan sighed from his nose as he turned his gaze away, his face full of discomfort. "Why did you come here?"

"I'm just here to chat, fellow competition participants, don't wrong to get to know each other before we kill each other!"

Shings….

Zerlan and the man looked at each other sharply, the atmosphere became silent. .

"Huh… I'm sorry if I interrupt your time, I'll ask you a few questions, after that I'll leave here!"

“Alright!”

“I want to know, you are one of them?”

Zerlan's eyes narrowed, slightly confused by what that man was saying.

"Yes, that's the possibility!"

"He's not sure? Then have you ever fought anyone else who wielded a sword with great power?”

"Huh?" Zerlan remembered Pandora's words. “Hmm… I don't know, but I did fight people with great abilities in several days ago!”

The man was silent while giving a sharp look. “I see, he has something inexplicable that the sword is willing to choose!”

The man's eyes continued to show seriousness which made Zerlan even more surprised.

"What are you asking that for?"

"Uh? No, I'm just curious, nowadays a lot of things involve people who wield legendary swords! If only I could have that one sword!” muttered the man at the end of the sentence. “I think it's clear, I'm going back! Sorry for wasting your time, hopefully tomorrow will be quite an interesting one!”

"Yeah!"

The yellow haired man left, he flashed a big smile. “It's true that he is one of the legendary sword users I've been looking for!”

***

Zerlan was silent as he stared at the fire in front of him. It was really strange for him to hear that man's words.

“What is that man planning? Why would he ask that!”

Pandora's words began to remember, and the truth that happened was something that couldn't be avoided. Zerlan felt that he would become the target of many people, the first battle had seen a change in the way people looked at him.

The next day….

Zerlan stared at the colliseum building. “I don't know what will happen to me today! Uh!” From a distance he saw a masked figure who had just entered the colliseum area.

Zerlan was sure that he would fight this person, seeing this person strength told him that person was no ordinary.

As Zerlan started to walk, he kept trying to calm his heart which had been beating fast since the beginning.

“Everyone thank you for coming back to the Coliseum to see the match between the great knights! There are now 20 fighters who will be fighting!”

The 20 people were staring in the direction where Nirobi was, that man was staring seriously at all the fighters.

“Your Majesty, the King of Nirobi this battle is about to begin!”

Nirobi nodded.

“Alright, King Nirobi has given a signal to start the fight! Now we just have to see who will get the turn to fight!”

Now the selection of who fights is chosen by one person, all the papers containing the names of the participants are in the same jar.

In one match, two names will be named who will fight, those who have been called must immediately get down from the spectator seats.

The person's hand has begun to be inserted into the jar, all waiting to see who will get the first turn.

"Ashayura!"

The name has been spoken, he is a man with an ideal body, not too thin and not too fat. Having a pretty face that makes women fall in love easily.

Then one name will be called again.

"Zerlan!"

Zerlan got shivered when his name was called, he stared at the arena with a serious look. Everyone was waiting for that man to come to the arena.

Zerlan stood up and started walking towards the arena, he didn't expect that he would be the one to do the first fight.

The two people were already on the same arena, they looked at each other very sharply.

"I never expected this, we will fight!" said Ashayura.

Still can't get that face out from Zerlan's memory, and now he has to face that person.

"Yeah, it's quite interesting!"

Ashayura was slightly surprised by Zerlan's expression which was emitting such a deep killing gaze.

"Start…."

Whoosh!!!

Ashayura quickly charged towards Zerlan, his body moving like wind to slash at that man.

Things!!!

The first clash of their swords had sounded, the pressure Zerlan felt was quite strong.

“I knew that this man was no ordinary person!” said Zerlan.

Zerlan exerted all his strength to jolt Ashayura backwards, it succeeded in causing Ashayura to lose focus.

Zerlan took this opportunity to thrust his sword, moving his feet swiftly.

A wide smile appeared on Ashayura's lips, Zerlan was slightly surprised by that.

Shoos!!!

Zerlan's sword didn't hit the target, Ashayura suddenly lowered his body. Then, that man made an attack on Zerlan. His body advanced smoothly, the sword in his hand prepared to injure Zerlan's body.

"Uh!"

“You know, amateurs like you can easily read moves!”

Crash!!!

The slash had torn off Zerlan's stomach, Zerlan's left hand continued to hold onto the injured stomach.

"Whoa...."

Everyone cheered loudly to see what happened.

"Feel it rancid brat, he just got lucky yesterday!"

People cheered while giving curse words to Zerlan.

Zerlan lowered his head. "What's wrong with this? Is it really necessary to be a knight master swordsman to have good status and clothes?”

Some people there were surprised by the change in the aura within Zerlan's body, only those who at a high level could sense this.

“Well… it's like that, this world from the start was filled with ruffians who wouldn't understand the meaning of being together and what it means to respect each other!” Zerlan's eyes glanced at Cearuleus. “I see, you also want to slit everyone's throats here huh! If possible I want to do it too, for now we just need to prove ourselves!”

Ashayura was quite surprised by the position of Zerlan who was back in a state of alert, blood still pouring from his body.

"Didn't he feel the pain from my slash earlier?"

Whoosh!!!

Zerlan was suddenly in front of Ashayura.
