Ascension To Inhuman

Chapter 5: Ronaken



The moment Kcrow had reached striking distance of the man's sword he extended his own blade forwards ,shifted his body sideways and jumped forwards to the left side of his enemy with the goal of getting close enough to cut his neck however the man's sword came forwards to meet his while he moved to Kcrow's left side and they both reached a stalemate,entering a bind in which both soldiers were trying to find the superior position for their weapons,such attempts were unsuccessful however leading to them disengaging.

After the first move they both seemed to get an idea of the opponents level and realized that this battle would probably not be an easy one.

Kcrow again attacked but Ronaken attacked the weak point of his blade and shifted his sword foward to the left before going for an attack of his own which in turn kcrow blocked by extending the upper lower part of his blade the the left while shifting sideways to the left and attacked Ronaken knees with a front kick before backing away immediately,Ronaken who had not expected such a move was caught by surprise and showed an slightly interested look.

Ronaken turned his body over into a position were his right hip was pointed towards Kcrow and pushed his legs back slightly,while looking at Ronaken's actions Kcrow made a guess about what he was doing.

'Is he attempting to use his longer reach to keep me at bay?,if that's the case I must press on even more'

Instead of focusing in Ronaken's body kcrow now switched his target to Ronaken's hand and arms,this was not unnoticed by Ronaken who started taking the same approach.Ronaken performed a thrust towards Kcrow's head but Kcrow parried with the lower upper part of his blade and attempted his own thrust towards Ronaken which was parried by an ofhand,Kcrow did not retrieve his blade and instead performed a small slash towards the hand which barely landed and left a cut on Ronaken's palms,

And yet he himself also suffered a slight cut in his left tigh.

The both of them retreated and analyzed the other for a few seconds before they again engaged in battle,this time with Kcrow employing a cutting motion towards Ronaken's right side but changed it midway into a thrust that Ronaken blocked by attacking the blade which only had structure towards him sideways to the left,Kcrow fell back and pulled his blade towards him.

Ronaken attempted to strike at Kcrow's head but he was parried by the weak point of Kcrow's sword which he displaced without trouble only to find Kcrow's head was now sideways to his blade and in the direction of his right shoulder, and right after Kcrow took advantage of the fact that Ronaken's attack had powered up his own to launch his strike forwards after disengaging with the enemies blade with a downwards movement and bringing his own up to the left,the strike proved itself deadly as it pierced Ronaken's throat and the duel had ended.

As Ronaken fell to the ground he did not look dejected and instead looked relieved,as if freed from a curse.

After Ronaken's defeat the throne moved to the right revealing the entrance to a hall.

The Melodious female voice from before had sounded again,this time saying

"You have defeated the Sword Emperor Ronaken,you shall now receive your rewards"

After the voice two more messages sounded across the hall,one of them giving him the information that he could either stay here in the booksection library or move to the hall during the next days before leaving the building.

As it seemed he could either receive the treasures in the hall or spend time gathering knowledge from the library.

Kcrow Contemplated before making his choice.
