Lucas slashed the air in front of him with his sword as a wind blade was generated due to the force in which he had swung his weapon. Aslaug in retaliation also swung her sword and created a wind blade which collided with his own as the two destroyed each other. The girl then dashed towards him and traded quick and powerful blows with him as she used her slimmer and more flexible body to attack him while Lucas himself also used his strength to his advantage and used powerful strikes to stagger her back and block her attacks.
The bodies of men and women are quite difficult, with men having an advantage in muscular strength and endurance, while women have an advantage in flexibility and speed due to how their bodies are made. Of course, should a person train hard enough then they will be able to bridge the gap between the two genders, but the base strength of both sexes would most likely be the same. Though it also depends on how the person chooses to live as well. Of course, as a demigoddess, her body is much stronger than that of a normal human, but thankfully, due to the intense training that he had undergone, Lucas's body is able to keep up with her. Not to mention the fact that he also uses magic when he needs a boost in strength. After all, for a human to be able to defeat a demigoddess all on his own, they have to be very strong, but this isn't a battle to the death so he doesn't have to fight that hard. His use of magic is also a source of frustration for her as he would sometimes disappear from the middle of a strike which causes problems for her technique. "Stay still!" Aslaug shouted as she brought her sword down on his. Lucas blocked the strike and smirked as he looked at her as she grit her teeth as she put more strength into her arms as she pushed him back a bit. He grunted a bit from the force but then got ahold of himself and pushed her back. She grit her teeth at his strength as she moved their swords to the side and then brought her sword up and slashed, but he parried it and sent a kick to her waist as she was thrown to the side. He landed on the ground as she skid and looked at him as she kept her feet planted on the ground despite the fact that she was kicked away like that. She then charged at him as he did the same and the two started to trade more blows, but this time the strength they put in their blows were much stronger as the ground cracked and broke from the force of their strikes. Kriemhild who was watching the spar between the two couldn't help but sweatdrop as she felt the winds rush past her from their clash and also felt the effects of the cracking ground as she gulped at their strength. "How does one become so strong?" Kriemhild said to herself as she looked at the two warriors going at each other. As she was thinking and watching that Aslaug did a few combo moves which Lucas either deflected, blocked, or he met them with his own combos as the two fought. But soon he started to overwhelm her as he increased his strength and speed as she felt tremors go through her arms from his attacks as she grit her teeth in response to it. 'Bastard. He keeps on getting stronger.' Aslaug thought to herself as she put more strength into her arms to push him back. But it was for naught as he sent a kick which caused her balance to break and he sent a swift strike which caused her to be blown back from the force as he dashed towards her. She jumped back and readied herself as he dashed towards her as the two of them locked blades, but she was pushed back from the strength of his blow as she glared at him. But Lucas just smiled at her and then broke the lock before he swung his sword at her as she did the same as the two traded blow after blow and she could see that his sword was getting more chipped as they kept at it. Her own sword being given to her by her parent, is obviously stronger than the weapons created and used by normal humans, so it is still in pristine condition despite the beatdown it receives. But that didn't help when the strength and skill of her opponent was much better than her own. Even if she loathed to admit it, Lucas is a very powerful and skilled warrior. After all, even if he has used magic, the fact that he was able to defeat her when they had first met already spoke about his strength. Which is the reason as to why she wanted to defeat him, after all, the fact that a demigoddess like her was defeated by a human was something that was hard for her to swallow. 'In the first place, the thought of a normal human having the strength to defeat a demigoddess should be laughable. A normal human should never be able to defeat a demigoddess like myself, and yet her did defeat me. I can't have that. I have to show him and myself that I am strong. That a demigoddess like me can't be defeated by a mortal.' Aslaug thought to herself as she looked at him. They locked blades again as she put more force and pushed him back and sent a barrage of attacks towards him as his eyes widened at her sudden attack. But he regained his composure and met her attacks with his own as he wasn't lacking in speed as well as he met her sword strikes. But he was also accurately aware of the cracks forming on his blade as well. 'Figures. I really need to get myself a good sword.' Lucas thought to himself as he resorted to using magic to make sure the sword is able to be used. The two kept on trading blows but Lucas was starting to gain the upper hand again as his strikes became more faster and stronger as the ground under Aslaug cracked more and more as she parried and blocked his attacks as she was starting to get irritated by his strength. She then sent a powerful slash towards him as he blocked it using his sword as it cracked more but it was held together using his magic as he narrowed his eyes and then coated the sword in his magic and dished out more powerful strikes at her as she was forced on the defensive due to the power and speed of his attacks. Then he did a tricky maneuver using the sword and managed to free the sword from her grip as he flung it into the air as she was shocked by it before he placed the tip of his sword right in front of her neck as she looked at him. Her sword fell a few feet away from them as it stabbed into the ground and dug into the ground. "I lost." Aslaug said to him as she sighed. "I'm glad that you can admit that fact." Lucas said to her with a smile. He looked at his sword as he removed the magic covering it as the blade was fully cracked and the moment he stopped his magic, the blade shattered and fell. But he used his magic to gather them as he put them in a bag. He saw no reason to waste the metal used for the sword. Meanwhile Kriemhild let out a sigh of relief when the battle ended. But she looked at the surroundings of the two combatants. The ground is cracked and broken, there were gashes on the ground and some trees which were unfortunate enough to be at the end of their attacks have either deep slashes on them, or were completely sliced off. 'I really need to get more training.' Kriemhild thought to herself as she looked at the two monsters in front of her.Lucas read the book in his hand as he drank some tea in his mansion. After the spar with Aslaug, he thought that this is a good moment to relax for a bit. Which is why Aslaug and Kriemhild are also relaxing with him at the garden of his mansion, surrounded by the shrubbery of the family. He is quite proud of the garden that they have as it is very beautiful to look at and gives a serene aura to the mansion which he is happy about, as he can feel at least in them. Though that doesn't mean that he is about to let down his guard, that's a fool's way of thinking, even if he is in his mansion, he isn't about to let his guard down. Something that Aslaug and Kriemhild knows as they are also on guard, a sentiment he appreciates from them. "So, just how strong are you? You can break the ground with your strength, move faster than most men, and can also use a rare form of magic as well. Just how did you achieve such strength?" Kriemhild asked him as she looked at him curiously. She had
Eric threw the glass of alcohol across the room as it shattered after hitting the wall as the four maids who were serving him flinched from the violent action as they looked at him with slight fear. But the prince himself didn't care about their reactions as he had a pissed off expression as he glared at the wall. "My reputation has been tarnished and that damned boy is hailed as a hero!" Eric shouted in anger as the maids flinched again from his loud voice. After the end of the war, Eric's reputation in the kingdom had plummeted, no surprise that it has happened of course, as it was him who had decided to start the war with the other country. And their country has lost the war and was humiliated and lost two dragons under their control. And have also been shown to be inferior to their enemy, which has hurt the sentiments of many of the country as well. The other noble families of the kingdom were also of the same mind as they didn't like the fact that they had been defeated,
"Now that's a good boy." Lucas said as he was petting Falkor. He is currently flying with the wyvern as he wanted to make sure that he had the ability to fly freely without anyone being afraid of it attacking. Even if he is his wyvern, the people will naturally be scared about a creature of its size. But he didn't mind it that much as he enjoyed flying with Falkor, as it was a way for him to be alone from his otherwise noble life. It is good, he will admit and having people around him and treating him with respect is a good thing, but sometimes he just wants to be left alone to enjoy some time alone. He looked at the kingdom from above and it was a bit cloudy so the people probably hadn't noticed them. Not to mention the fact that people don't usually look up so it would work in his favour. He has also been having his boys keep a watch around the kingdom for any kind of suspicious movement. Considering how the prince has acted, he doesn't want to let down his guard in case the
"My Lord, is this truly the right course of action." A soldier asked Eric as the group of soldiers were walking through a cave tunnel. "Yes. This is the way to get back the respect that I had lost because of our enemies." Eric said to him with a glare at the soldiers. The soldier's flinched at his glare as they knew that they couldn't and shouldn't do anything that might anger him. After all, as the prince of their kingdom, he can do anything he wants to them as he so wished. So doing anything to displease him as it might be dangerous to them. They also don't know what it is that their prince wants to find for himself in the cave, but as soldiers it is their duty to follow his orders and so that is what they are doing. The soldier at the front of the group held his torch as he walked forward followed by the rest of the group as he kept his gaze all around him to make sure that he wasn't taken by surprise by anything in the cave. They silently but methodically advanced into t
Lucas looked at the Alpha who is standing in front of him seriously as the man is looking at him a bit nervously while being looked at by Lucas very seriously. Lucas is the de facto leader of the boys and when he isn't leading them and giving them jobs then it's his duty to make sure that they work correctly. "So you got nothing unusual to report?" Lucas asked him seriously as he sat in his chair. "No sir. We did a check just as you had told us to, but we haven't found anything unusual happening inside the country. Even in the other noble families or around the royal palace." Alpha said to him seriously with a nod. Lucas narrowed his eyes at that as he reclined on the chair he is sitting on as he closed his eyes and thought about it. The runes are really useful and powerful ones which acts like it when a great danger to the user is afoot. Which is the reason why he had decided to use it on himself so that he will be able to know if there is going to be danger to him. So he is
In the land of Norway, in the territory of the noble house of Larsen, the sound of clashing weapons can be heard. The sound was coming from the training ground a few metres behind the mansion of the noble family. A boy who is 17 years old was currently having a duel with a man who seemed to be at least 40.The boy has jet black hair and grey eye's. A fair complexion and a slim build. He also has a handsome face. He only wore a white shirt and black pants as he was sparing with the man. He had a sword in his hand as he was fighting with him. He was covered in sweat and dirt was also on his body and clothes as well.The man he was fighting had brown hair which was starting to grey at some points. He has auburn eyes and a moustache as well. A fair complexion and a body which is in the middle of slim and buff. He wore all black as he was also sweating from the spar he was having with the young man. He also had a sword in his hand as he was fighting with the boy.They then locked blades w
'It has been what, 12 no 13 years since I awoke in thei world in the body of Lucas. And I was about to graduate out of college as well. I was very confused when I awoke in this body but thankfully since I had already matured by that time I was able to adapt quickly. I quickly learned that I was in the 6th century in the country of Norway. I also came to know that I am the son of a duke and holds significant power in the kingdom. But that didn't mitigate the fact that I had now lost my previous life, all that hard-work I put in gone.' Lucas thought to himself as he sighed at the last part.He then went to the shelf with books and took one and traced along its spine.'I also learned that humans weren't the only race in this world and that magic also exists. But magic has now rarely been used by the people in this land and even though they believe in the Norse God's, they consider it a hassle since it takes a lot of time to learn magic. The machinations, the words, the letters, all of wh
"I would say the same but unfortunately I don't know your name but it's nice to meet to meet you too." Lucas said as he bowed as well.He saw the finger of the boy twitching when he said he didn't know him. He also saw the boy had a irritated face when he heard him."Oh, then let me introduce myself. I am Oskar Rehbindr, the heir to the house of Rehbindr which holds the rank of duke like yours." The now introduced Oskar said to him."Good to know." Lucas nonchalantly said as he took a sip of his wine.Oskar grit his teeth in response to his nonchalant answer.'Why the hell is he talking so nonchalantly?! My house is the same rank as him and he acts like I'm some normal person! I'm the heir to the noble house of Rehbindr! Is he looking down on me!?' Oskar thought to himself with growing anger.Oskar looked at Lucas who was calmly observing his surroundings while eating a few grapes. While this would've caused other people to leave him, for someone like Oskar it was as if he was disresp
