Chapter 51: The Red Sword

It was late at night, and slashing, as well as clashing sounds of metal, could be heard throughout the street. The orphanage was in the center of the city, and so, there were already quite a few people watching from their windows what was happening.

They couldn't believe what they were seeing at the moment, after all, there were many soldiers there, and they had just killed some people using red spears. Some of the people watching could already tell who these soldiers belonged to.

Since there weren't many soldiers in the kingdom of Decartium, they used red spears to fight. But, the most telling thing, was the two people with lion helmets on, one with a black one, which was a little obscure and not as well known.

But, the other one could be recognized wherever you want inside the kingdom, and, in all the Rosendar continent, there was only one person famous for wearing a lion helmet, which was yellow.

The Fierce Lion!

That meant that the Cavias family was the one fighting with these men in the night, outside the orphanage. Many people didn't know how to react to such a situation, after all, who were the people being killed? Why was the Cavias family here?

And why was all of this happening right outside the orphanage building? No one knew, but they still watched, as two guys flashed their swords at each other. One had a scar on his face, and another had a small white cape.

They were, of course, Gleeward, as well as the leader of this small group of the Grey Dogs. Their swords touched each other, as both retreated at the same time. Gleeward smiled, and said, "Hah!! I had thought you weren't that strong!".

"Guess I was wrong, han? And to be honest...", his sword clashed with the black sword used by the other man, as he continued, "Fighting while losing sight in one eye, is very uncomfortable, what about you?".

The other man smiled, as he said, "Well, not like I have a choice, and thank you for making this dual, kind of fair, to be honest as well, I also didn't think much of you at first, but I guess I was wrong to think so, han?".

"You're using the "Claws of Death" style, right?", asked the leader of the Grey Dogs here. Gleeward smiled, as he said, "You're familiar with the style? It's not that commonly used, but, it was created, and practiced by one of the strongest men to ever live on this continent!".

The other man was the one that responded, as he said, "Aron the Great, the Ankston family's ancestor! Hah! This sword style has even been respected by the founder of the Court of Saviors! And actually, I heard rumors that even the Dragon Slayer himself has acknowledged that it is very strong, indeed!".

Gleeward smiled, and puffed his chest in pride, "So I heard as well". The fighting continued, and as their swords crashed into one another again, a loud cling could be heard.

At the same time, The Fierce Lion was watching with his servant, his chief of guards, The Black Lion. John Cavias asked, "Did you see Nero while there? And what about Asvin and the young boy with him?".

The Black Lion replied, "Yes, I did see the Ankston soldiers, there were two groups, one was following their leader, and the other, this guy, Gleeward!", he then continued, "As for lord Asvin, and Lord Matthew, no, I didn't see them!".

The Fierce Lion nodded his head, as he said, "Go look for the heirs! Keep them safe, and if they have done what I think they have, go after them, and help them!". The Black Lion nodded his head, then disappeared in a flash again.

He didn't ask about who would save Gleeward if something were to go wrong since he didn't care, he only performed his duties without ever asking anything. The Fierce Lion smiled inside his helmet, and looked at Gleeward, he was impressed by this guy.

And of course, he would be the one to save him if something did end up going wrong in this fight. 'Asvin, Matthew, don't tell me you went to look for the kids, I sense not all of them are back, and I know both of you, ah! Let's hope they will be safe!'.

'With the Black Lion there, they should be, not even the King's Power can kill them in his presence, which is scary to think about, I might be stronger than him, but, since he was trained as an assassin, I am afraid he could kill me if we were to ever fight!'.

'Good that we made a magical promise, let's hope he serves Asvin after I am gone!'. With that, the Fierce Lion only looked at the fight going on in front of him, as he waited for a winner to emerge.

Inside the orphanage, the soldiers that were left behind by Gleeward were instructed to find the family leader, Nero Ankston, and join him in his fighting, or whatever he was doing.

When they finally reached where their master was, they found three people dead on the ground, they could see them wearing gray, with a dog emblem on their chest plate, in other words, they were from the Grey Dogs gang.

Nero had just used Wind Blade to kill them in one single blow, the soldiers with him, felt like they were useless since the guy was so strong, every enemy they came face to face with, was defeated with ease by Nero.

He was, after all, a very strong magician, and so, specializing in killing, and fighting from a distance, was a given for him. They had gone through most of the place, but the most they found, were people from the Grey Dogs gang.

'The boss is probably at the office, just like Gleeward said!', thought Nero, as his theory was confirmed by the coming of the other three soldiers that were sent with the chief of guards.

After they explained what happened, Nero couldn't help but let a small sigh, 'Ha ha! The Black Lion, han? And that stupid Gleeward has gone to fight with their leader, he has been like that since we were young!'.

After all, Nero Ankston, and Gleeward, were raised together since they were born, they were more like brothers, than normal master and servants. This was also why Nero trusted Gleeward with his life, more than any other master and servant did.

Nero then turned to look at his guards, as he said, "Okay, let us head to where the children are, we must get them into one single place, and protect them until the fight outside is over!". The guards all nodded their heads together, as they followed Nero inside the orphanage.

...

A red sword drew an arc, as it attacked a person, a very tall and muscular person. Who defended against this attack with his Big axe? The axe was blue, and it appeared to be made from a special metal.

The man laughed a little, as he said, "Hah! Asvin Cavias, right? They call you the Red Sword if I am not mistaken. I've always wanted to see the Red Lion style of fighting! Just like your father, the Fierce Lion, show me if you're strong!".

Asvin didn't reply to the man with words, but ran to him, and jumped into the air, as he attacked with his red sword, a cling sound was heard. After which, the young man kicked the man in the gut, and an "Uhg!", was heard.

Asvin didn't stop, instead, he used his foot, which was still stuck to the man's gut, to push himself into the air one more time, he then appeared behind the man, and slashed at him.

Still, the man defended against the attack with his axe, as he barely reacted in time, he then pushed the weak young man back by quite a few steps. 'Dammit! He's stronger than me, I need help if I want to defeat him, but Matthew is busy fighting that noble inside, well, just like my first fight to the death!'.

'When I saved myself and Atlas, I will have to win against a stronger opponent again, it's not like father didn't have many fights like this, why was he called the Fierce Lion, not just because he's fierce, and doesn't retreat, but because he always wins in the end!'.

Asvin then continued forward, and again attacked with his red sword, but just like it had been all this while, he was blocked once again, only this time, his real aim wasn't to attack, but to try and push the man back, using all his strength, he tried his best.

Unfortunately, the man was just too strong for him, so, he couldn't accomplish his goal, instead, he was pushed back by the man. Still, Asvin didn't stop, as he once again jumped into the air, his right leg touching the ceiling this time.

And using it, he pushed himself, adding more strength to his attack, he slashed, and the man readied his axe to block the incoming attack, but, he was surprised to see that Asvin dropped his sword, and instead, kicked the man in his face.

In the next second, Asvin grasped his red sword again, and used this moment, to attack, since the man had just been kicked in the face, he couldn't see for a moment, so, he just attacked recklessly.

Asvin avoided each, and every attack made by the blue axe, and slashed the man's arm with his red sword. Blood started dripping, as a wound opened, but, he quickly retreated, since the man had recovered his sight.

The man smiled as he looked at his arm, and said, "Hah! You are very strong, and the Red Lion style is pretty good, just like everyone says, but, how about we fight for real? I know we've both been trying to gauge the other one's power".

"But, I think that's done now, right? At the very least for me, so, how about it? I don't want to take you by surprise, so I am warning you now, I will be using my full strength!".

Asvin nodded, as he sheathed his red sword, and broadened his body, as he put his right leg forward as if he was about to start running in the next second, but the young man stayed in his place, as he waited for the man to come to him.

Asvin was now in front of the door, so the man couldn't ignore him and enter, instead, he had to attack him. The man smiled, as he said, "This is the famous one-attack technique, right? How many were killed by this technique when the Fierce Lion fought?".

"If I enter, you're gonna attack, in the war ten years ago, I heard your father killed many soldiers in one blow using this technique, even the King's Power has to be careful when fighting against this technique, hah!".

"Great, I get to experience it first hand, let's see!". With that, the man unsheathed a small dagger and threw it at the young man. As soon as the dagger came five steps away from the young man.

It was cut in half, Asvin cut through metal like it was a sheet of paper instead. He had used a quick draw of his red sword, and cut through the dagger, then immediately returned the red sword to its sheath.

The man smiled again, as he looked at Asvin, "Hahaha! Really fascinating, just like the rumors, So damn fast, and so precise, you're using your eyes at an incredible speed, to calculate the distance, and amount of power needed to attack!".

"But, this style fits spears more, your father used his red spear when performing the technique, imagine if you had a spear instead? Even I would get scared, anyway, I think I talked for a bit too much, how about I try this technique of yours, and how it holds up against my technique?".

Asvin stayed silent, as he waited for the man to approach, he had already stopped listening, and only concentrated on looking, as well as drawing his red sword out as fast as possible.

With that, the man advanced, while Asvin readied himself to attack once more.
