CLANG CLANG CLANG

My sword continued clashing against its bone saber; it is swift and powerful. Matching my blow-to-blow.

This bony man is quite powerful and skilled in fighting. I have come across very few such enemies since I come to this world.

Usually, I relish fighting against such enemies, but now, I want to deal with him quickly as possible, but it is likely to happen. Seeing the way this bastard is fighting.

Though, I will give my all for it to happen.

Full Burst!

I activated the full burst, releasing the full power of it, which filled my whole body.

As it did, I attacked, using every speck of power. It made my attack very powerful, that my sword hummed, feeling all this power.

He immediately noticed the power, and his eyes widened in shock. He may have got shocked by the power, but he reacted immediately, and he released his full power, which is a tsunami, and attacked.

The power behind his attack is not small; it is even greater than mine, but it is nothing surprising to me.

CLANNNG!

Our weapons clashed and a powerful shockwave burst out of it; my whole body shook, and I nearly took a step back.

It also shook him, but not as much as me.

"We are about equal in power. You won't be able to kill me. It is better that you focus on the other people," I said to him, but the next moment sighed in defeat, seeing him grin.

"I have found a worthy enemy after a long time; I will not let you go till I kill you," he said and attacked, and I responded immediately.

I knew this would be his response the moment I saw his grin. He had no interest in letting me know, and now I knew his answer. I will be fighting the bastard in earnest, using everything I have.

Still, I feel regret that I could not convince him or did not have the power to run away from him as I did with a woman.

Seeing his power, he will not have any problem catching me.

CLANNNG CLANNNG CLANNNG

Our weapons begin to clash hard and fast, stopping, not even for a second.

I could see his eyes moving, tracking every movement I make expertly to look for the weakness, the same thing I am doing.

I felt like I was fighting another me and couldn't help cursing in my mind to come against him, in a place like this. I would love to fight him, in an isolated place, in no hurry.

Fate had the other things in mind, and I will accept them.

"Since you want to fight, I will fight against you," I said with a grin. Till now, I had only used my strength in the battle, now I will use my focus and everything else.

He is an enemy who deserves that.

"That's the spirit," he said back, and begin to attack me more intensely, while I slowly shifted to the defensive. Since I had fought against it with everything I have, then going head-on will not be a wise choice.

I have to fight the battle calmly and study it carefully. It might take time, but if I didn't do that, it will take even more time.

Though I feel like, with little patience, I might be able to deal with it quickly.

"Got scared so early? I thought you were going to fight me with everything you have?" he taunted, seeing me shifting to the defensive. "I am," I replied with a smile, and it seemed to have irked it.

We both are quite similar, we both love to fight stronger enemies and prefer speed in fighting, but that is where the similarities end, and differences begin.

He is impulsive and prone to taking more risks than he should. Though he is not a fool; he has an awareness of the risks, he should take and those he shouldn't.

A minute passed and then another and then another; I am fighting with a smile on my face, while he had irritation.

He is attacking nearly all the openings but is smart enough to be well-protected. It is irritating me, but also making me admire him.

Unlike him, I did not react to the irritation. I drank it down and fought calmly while studying him with my clones. I am using all five of my clones to study him and the things; I am learning are quite faster.

I have not just studied but also acted in a way that will help me collect more data.

In just five minutes, I have collected enough data that I would have needed an hour to do that. If I want to, I could start my offensive immediately and I am doing just that.

It is not a true offensive, but a fake one, to collect more data.

I didn't waste any time and launched my fake offensive and immediately a grin appeared on his face.

"Good, you have stopped being sissy," he said, as it countered my attack, before attacking on his own. I defended it and attacked again, the way my clones pointed out, and collected the data from its response.

It feels like cheating fighting this way, but the clones are me, part of my strength. It is not something anyone could steal or take away.

My core is a fortress that even the mighty brand couldn't breach.

Five minutes passed, and I continued to fight against him. He is attacking; I am attacking, but even after exchanging thousands of blows, we have not been able to cast even a single injury on the other.

I am very good. It had tried thousands of times, but couldn't even push me back a step, much less give me an injury.

"You cannot kill me. You should just let me go," I said to him, one last time. "Never," he replied, and I sigh.

A moment, I finished the sigh, my whole body language changed, and I moved forward, opening myself to him.

He immediately smelled something fishy, but this opportunity was too good to let go and it attacked.

CLANNNG!

Our weapons clashed before our sword begin to move across his saber. It tried to throw away my sword like it did thousands of times, but this time, he was finding it unexpectedly difficult.

The analyzing power of my five clones is nothing to scoff at; they are directing my fight against it at every step.

While their analysis is not perfect, it is accurate enough, and the rest is fixed by my own experienced.

"You should have given up," I said, and my sword moved away from his saber, toward his chest very faster. He is not standing still, his saber moving toward my chest, for mutual destruction.

It will not be a mutual destruction. My sword is faster.

Puch!

My sword reached him and pierced through the many defensive methods it had activated. It crushed them before piercing his heart, before freezing him on the spot, with the burst of energy coming down from my core.

I am not killing him; the seal does something after a kill, and I don't want that is happening to me.

Despite this, I very much want to kill this bastard.

Hun!

I was about to remove my sword when suddenly I froze as the seals on my body and seal heat up and a killing intent I have never felt before enveloped my mind.
