~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Desert, The Continent Of Alforza)~~~

~~~(Time: 10:31 AM)~~~

Leezir looks like he doesn't want to move forward. Hearing that my name is Raduerial must've opened his eyes to who I am. In the Des'merta culture, Raduerial is a name that means a lot to them. It makes sense that he'd be afraid now that he knows who I am.

As I take a step forward, there is a slight breeze that blows past the area. It kicks up the sand, and it takes away the heat for a split second. My wings flex and take a position that's ready for battle.

"Since you're the one that's challenged this caravan, does that mean I'm the one that gets to decide how this battle goes?"

I don't know the rules for a 1V1 Duel in the Des'merta culture. If we're using the system to do it, then it'd be a PVP battle. Meaning it's either leveled-out combat or true power combat. Either way, I'm not losing.

Xilo slowly walks up from behind me and stands between us. But not directly. It's more to the side, and it's like she's taking up an officiating role. She looks at me, and I can see she's not nervous about this fight in the slightest.

There are few people that walk around Gaia that can actually pose a challenge for me. Let alone fight me to the point of defeating me. I doubt there is anyone that can do that.

"In the Des'merta Culture, when a battle between caravans occurs, the people fighting must do so without the system. This is how it was before the system came, and that's how it'll remain."

Leezir picked a bad day to pick a fight with this caravan. I'm sure the guy is powerful on his own, but there are some people you should never fight. You don't stand a chance.

I'm the person that everyone should never try and fight. There are only a few select existences that pose a threat to me. Mortal ones don't.

"Then, shall we get this fight on the road?"

The man I'm about to fight gets into a stance befitting a coming death. I get into my own, and I prepare to dart forward. I look toward Xilo, and I see her raise her hand. After a few seconds, she throws her hand down. Signaling the beginning of the fight.

"RAAAAHHH!!"

Leezir lunges at me from his spot. It matter not. The world slows down as my perception makes it. When you're as strong and fast as me, you can see the world move at different speeds.

He's frozen in place, and I can see a quick way to end this battle. It'd take only one swipe from The Witness to cut this guy in half. So, it might do go for people in the Des'merta culture to see how fruitless it is to fight the caravan I'm in.

They all have systems and can talk. Meaning they have access to messaging too. I have no doubt word will spread. Actually, there is reason to have doubt.

It's not like the Des'merta have already spread the word that I'm moving with a caravan. Nothing will change after this. Meaning there could be more fights on the horizon.

The world speeds back up, and I move my wings in front of me. The blade of his sword clashes with my wings, and it's like metal against metal. My wings have the ability to harden and soften. The sun beating down on them makes the golden glow look better.

Only Legendary weapons and better can even scratch my Angel Wings. Leezir's sword does nothing to me. I shove him away with force, and as he lands on his feet. I hear a sickening crack. I shouldn't have hit him that hard.

I move my wings away, and I see the guy has a broken arm and he's bleeding from multiple wounds. Seems the hardened feathers on my wings cut him open.

"You're far weaker than I thought you'd be..."ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ Fire(.)net

I honestly thought the guy would be a little tougher. In the end, I guess it doesn't really matter. He's breathing heavily, and I can see that he's not wanting to fight anymore. There are times that I think people are too stupid for their own good.

"This isn't a fair fight!!"

He suddenly yells at Xilo from where he's standing. I haven't moved from my spot since the fight started. Xilo herself doesn't look amused by the exclamation made by Leezir.

"There are been many times you've fought against caravans that weren't as strong as yours. You've fought against leaders who couldn't compete with your weapons. Now, this is your reckoning. Take it with honor and dignity, Leezir. Or prove what everyone believes about you."

The beautiful priestess lays down the law against the man. He's not pleased in the slightest, but I see no reason to prolong the fight. I move forward and quickly cut off his sword arm before he can do anything.

He doesn't even realize what's happened until he looks at me. Unknown to how I got in front of him. The pain that he didn't know was there quickly takes over.

"FUUUCK!"

He falls to both knees and uses his free hand to hold the stub of where I cut off his entire arm at the shoulder. It's pouring out blood, and The Witness's DOT effects are activating. He's already starting to decompose.

Everyone from his caravan watches in abject fear and terror. They watch their leader decompose right in front of them. It's a nasty sight indeed.

I sheath The Witness, and I relax my wings now that the fight is over. I make my way over to Xilo, and I lean forward to whisper to her.

"While I'm traveling with your caravan, I'll be taking care of any problems like this."

I pull away and make my way back to Sally as Xilo gives a single nod of acknowledgment. As I approach my girlfriend, she smiles lightly and wraps her arms around me.

There isn't a bone in my body that doubts whether or not Sally would've fought that man if I hadn't. She would've been here before anyone else had I not flown off.

"You know, you made that last longer than you had too."

It's true. I could've ended the fight the second it started. But this would've been a good showing of strength. Maybe, just maybe. Any other caravans will stay away this time. Before I can respond to Sally, Giovanni makes his way over.

I can see the cute girl following him. It seems he's found someone among the Des'merta who will give the Frenchman attention even if he's not Des'merta.

"That's probably the fastest I've ever seen someone move before. Would you mind if I asked you about your weapon?"

I'm not surprised he'd ask about The Witness.

"We can talk about it in our carriage."

It doesn't take us long to get moving again. Now there are five people in our carriage instead of three. Giovanni is waiting for the moment I start talking about The Witness.

I unstrap the sheath and pull it off my waist. Slowly drawing the blade as I do. I watch the guy shiver in his spot.

"This is The Witness. It's a Legendary Sword that I won from The Trial of Sword Saint Monrell. It's been bonded to me since it's a weapon made for an Angel. Made for me, in a way."

He looks closely at the blade and is about to touch the edge. But I pull it away.

"That would be unwise, Gio. A single cut will inflict its DOT effects, and you'll die the same way Leezir did."

His face goes a little white and then green at the notion of dying like that.
