"So, how are we going to do this?" Reign stretches his arms in front of him while looking over at Lico who was currently standing a couple of meters in front of him.

"What?"

"I mean, do we use our own weapons or?"

"Oh, don't worry, the weapons will be delivered to us, simply state what you need to one them." Lico points toward two young men who were currently running toward them, one of them stopped next to Reign while the other one continued toward Lico.

Reign looked at the boy briefly before describing the two swords that he would like to use, upon hearing that Reign not only used two swords but that each was different than the other the boy widened his eyes for a bit before nodding at Reign and leaving the area.

It only took the two boys about 2 minutes to return and bring the weapons to the two. Reign held a wooden katana in his left hand while his right held a classic arming sword. The arming sword was also wooden and its length and width were pretty much the same as Reign's broken sword.

Upon seeing Reign hold two swords in his arms Lico raised an eyebrow and so did the nobles who were spectating the fight. Using two swords was rare to see, but using two different types of swords was even rarer. In the whole kingdom, there were only a handful of fighters that used two swords but they were nowhere close to being at the level of the top combatants.

Lico on the other hand held a sword that was longer and wider compared to normal swords. The longsword that Lico held was about 120cm long with the blade being about 5cm wide. Although all of the weapons were created from wood, they were all tough and could take a beating as they had been created with the help of the commander who didn't want the elite troops to hurt themselves when sparring.

The swords could take a lot of damage and usually, people that were under the first evolution could use them for a long time before they got destroyed. During this kind of a spar, it was the most popular weapon to use as people could still inflict damage on each other but they would generally not be serious or fatal.

"Two swords huh, interesting." Lico flashed a wide grin as he looked at Reign, he had fought against people that used two swords before but that was a long time ago, ever since he had managed to become a powerhouse in the kingdom he never really met anyone that used such weapons and was similar in power to him.

The spar that was previously not wanted by each side suddenly became something that made Lico extremely interested, and he wasn't the only one. Reign was looking at him with a serious face, he could already feel the incredible power that Lico possessed simply by holding the weapon, Reign was now certain that this man was definitely above him in terms of weapon proficiency as the aura he had was incredible.

Reign and Lico charged at each other and clashed. None of the two used any mana as they wanted to truly test how powerful the other one was with his weapon, even though that was true their figures were still moving incredibly fast through the field as the many nobles watching them had difficulties simply following their movements.

Their weapons clashed multiple times each second, their hands were a blur to the people spectating the fight as only a handful of individuals were able to follow all of their movements. The king was of course one of them, surprisingly both the Ian and Ilena were able to follow the fight as well, Ian was a bit weaker than Reign but he was still a powerful individual so it wasn't a surprise that he could follow their movement, but the princess was never really known for being strong and she spent most of her day relaxing or attending group gatherings with the other young noble ladies in the kingdom.

What most people didn't know however was that the princess had even greater talent compared to Ian, it was simply because she was lazy that she wasn't famous in the kingdom for that, even with that however she was still a relatively powerful individual in the kingdom, albeit one that not a lot of people knew about.

After clashing a couple of times there was still no clear indication as to who was the superior fighter, of course, that was how it looked like for the spectators, Reign, on the other hand, was clear that his skill with the sword was below Lico's and that although they seemed to be evenly matched, he was slowly falling into Lico's rhythm and if nothing changed he would be defeated after in about 30 to 40 attacks.

Reign was surprised however to find that Lico was about the same as him when it came to speed, even though he wasn't using mana or his ability, Reign's agility was the highest stat he had, followed closely by strength and spirit.

His attacks were heavier than Lico's, but thanks to the older man using both of his swords to attack he was easily able to match him when it came to power. It was also a surprise to Lico as he didn't expect Reign to have such power behind each hit. The boy was powerful and to have such high proficiency with the sword at such a young age wasn't anything to scoff at either, Lico himself knew that as he spent countless hours training in order to reach his current state and have a sword proficiency at rank S.

Proficiency rank was similar to ability ranking, the higher it went the harder it was to improve it and rank S was a big divider as it was almost impossible for someone that had rank A or A+ to win against somebody that had an S rank. Reign, however, was able to offset a great deal of his lacking proficiency with his wild attacks that seemingly had no pattern to them and the incredible speed and power that each attack had, of course to Lico his attacks had a clear pattern and he was able to easily block them.

Suddenly the two separated, the brief clash they had was enough for each one to get a grasp of the other's power, with that out of the way it was time to start the fight for real. Even though most people spectating them were already blown away by the sight, what happened previously was only a warm-up for the two. No mana or skills were used during the clash and it was a pure contest of weapon proficiency, although they were closely matched it was clear to both of them and the powerful individuals that were spectating the match that Reign had lost in that regard.

Of course that didn't mean that anyone held Reign in less regard compared to before, Lico was famous not only in the kingdom but in the whole area as a freak when it came to sword fighting and there was barely anybody that could match him when it came to pure skill in using the sword. For Reign to have such skill when he was so young actually put him in higher regard compared to before.

Suddenly the air in the field and the surroundings became heavy, both Lico and Reign had released their mana and were preparing to clash once again, this time however the clash would be one with no punches being held back.

Boom!

Before most of the spectators knew what happened the two disappeared and clashed in the middle of the field, a strong gale was blown around them and hit the spectators which forced them to dance wildly in the air.

A trail of lightning was left behind Reign while a strong wind was blown from Lico who was once again matched evenly with Reign when it came to speed. Each of their abilities gave a big boost to speed as Lico was someone that had the ability to use Wind, his ability was at rank A currently and there were not many who could match his speed, of course, there was a mountain above every mountain and compared to Reign his ability still fell a bit short.

The two were now impossible to even watch for most people as they flickered around the field and clashed their swords against one another, over ten clashes would be made in a single second and most of the spectators had no idea what was even happening.

Suddenly they were able to see both of the fighters for a brief moment, Reign was currently above Lico and had his arming sword lifted in the air, the sword was vibrating as he brought it down.
