Chapter 53: Ice spear

Asvin was holding his red sword in a reverse, as it was sheathed at the moment. The other tall, and muscular man was coming toward him, he was running while holding his blue axe in hand.

'I just need him to step inside my territory, and he will be done for, or at least, that's what I hope will end up happening, since I don't think he's stupid enough to attack me without a plan', thought Asvin, as he waited still for his opponent to come.

The man didn't stop, and continued running until finally, he entered the forbidden space, or, that's what Asvin thought because what entered, was his blue axe, as, in the last moment, he stopped so quickly, Asvin thought he continued, but, what happened.

It was that he threw his blue axe at him. Asvin's quick draw was incredibly fast, and his red sword flashed a beautiful arc, as it went straight for the axe, while he was focusing on that, the man had entered from a different position, and holding a short sword in hand, he attacked.

But, he too was shocked, to find out that, Asvin had expected this to happen, and in the final moment, stopped his attack, as he turned toward the man, and attacked him instead.

Cling!

Their blades both clashed with each other. The man chuckled, "Hah! Who knew you were this perceptive! Have you ever been to war, young lad?", asked the man, who looked to be middle-aged.

He managed to push Asvin out of the way due to his strength, but not by much since Asvin was focusing all his strength on not being pushed. Asvin smiled as he said, "No! But I have been too small battles, where I had to fight more than one person!".

The man chuckled again, as he said, "Hah! That's no war, young lad, you don't know war until you've been to one, that battle, imagine it being a hundred, no, a thousand times worse, and you might be able to imagine what a war truly is!".

After pushing Asvin back, the man raised his arms in the air, as he descended with his short sword, but, what he hadn't accounted for, was that Asvin picked up the dagger, which he had thrown at him earlier.

Or a part of it, since it was sliced in two, and threw it at the man as he raised his arms, the small blade of the dagger, what was left of it anyway, struck the man in his gut, and dug a little. The man let out a low grow of pain, as he smiled, and ignored the wound.

He continued with his attack, which came at Asvin at top speed. Asvin raised his red sword to try and block it since he had wasted his chance of escape when he threw the half dagger instead.

The short sword came into contact with the red sword, and Asvin immediately realized that he had been fooled by his opponent. 'Dammit! He left himself open on purpose, he wanted me to stay, so his attack would land, and I fell for it like an idiot!'.

The red sword in his hand didn't break the amount of pressure being put on it by the man, after all, this sword was created from a very durable kind of metal, one that only the richest of the noble families could acquire, like the Cavias family.

But, Asvin's arms gave out, and he was struck to the ground, his face was bashed onto the ground, and blood immediately escaped his nose and mouth. He felt a lot of pain, as he found out that a rib was broken.

He couldn't believe that one stupid mistake would cost him this much, now, with his back to the enemy, he waited for himself to die. But, what came, was something else instead.

Inside the room, as soon as Matthew entered, his eyes searched for Max, and he found her quickly, she was under the blanket, there was blood coming out of her nose and mouth, and her eyes were red.

But, as soon as her eyes met his, she let out a sigh of relief. The fat man, which looked to be in his early twenties looked at Matthew, as he couldn't believe what he was seeing, not only was this kid blessed beyond regard with the one power, but he was also very good with magic since he had defended against an ice spear spell.

Matthew looked at the man, and summoned five fireballs, he then also made a black sword appear in his hands, his expression was one only a demon could make, and his low grunts could describe how angry he was.

The fat and greasy noble could only look at this small boy, as he felt some shivers run down his spine, he couldn't believe, that a young boy such as this, was making him feel scared. He said in an angry tone, "What do you want, young boy?".

Before he realized that the young boy had an emblem embedded on his left shoulder, after a little more time taken to try and make out what it was, the man finally got it, he said, "Hah! The Ankston family are daring, aren't they?".

Matthew still didn't respond, he was instead focusing on gathering as much information, as possible about the enemy, 'From what I can see, he might be only slightly stronger than me, meaning, I have a chance against him!'.

'But, this will no doubt be the hardest fight I have ever been to, not even that man, that tried to kidnap me, and Rod, is a match for this one, still, if I take him by surprise, no, he seems to be on guard, he will no doubt encircle himself with an ice shield!'.

'And, since he doesn't have much, power traveling around him, I would guess that Ice is his main type, that would mean that Earth, and Light, but, that only applies if he had three attributes like most people do, so, earth, ice, and light, since he's so weak, I would guess he's only really focused on Ice, his main type, according to my theory!'.

'Good that I trained in a fire a lot, a little in the darkness, and the most in air, let's start with determining how strong his defenses are!', while Matthew was thinking about that, the man continued, "Hey, I am talking to you there!".

"Yes, I know that your family is of higher rank than mine, but just by a little, and, to be blunter, our army is stronger, if it weren't for your ancestor, we would already be in a better position than you!".

Matthew finally talked, only, it wasn't to the man, but to Max, he said, in a gentle voice, "Max, I am sorry I didn't come earlier, but I am here now, so don't worry, I need to take care of this guy, I am sorry to ask this of you, but could you help me a little?".

Max had already worn her clothes, after she retrieved them when the man and Matthew weren't focusing on her, she nodded her head, and tears rolled down her eyes. Matthew smiled and used Levitating to throw a dagger at her.

The fat and greasy man tried to interrupt the process, but he couldn't, since five fireballs were heading his way, instead, he had to create an ice barrier to protect himself. And with that, the dagger had already made its way to the 16-year-old.

Matthew knew that Max fought with daggers, two, to be precise, unfortunately, he couldn't carry two with him, so, he only brought one, especially, since it was Asvin's, and the young man had only one.

Still, this was better than fighting the man by himself. Of course, Max couldn't do much, otherwise, she wouldn't have allowed the man to use her, but, if she could distract him a little, that would help Matthew a lot, especially when facing a stronger foe than himself.

The five fireballs reached the man in a second, but, since he was already prepared for an attack, his ice shield was also already created, it covered his entire body, still, when the fireballs came, it started melting immediately.

The man was surprised to find that his defenses wouldn't hold on for more than 10 seconds, since these fireballs were really strong. 'I guess that's because he's this much gifted, but still, I had to train a lot, and this boy here is doing this to me? No, I can't let this continue!'.

'Also, is Fire his main attribute? Or, is he faking it like I am doing with Ice?', thought the man, as he moved back, and unleashed another ice spear at the nine-year-old. Matthew, again, defended against the attack with his invisible, air barrier.

Which broke due to the toughness of this spear, 'Hmm! So the first one he threw when I entered was only to test me, he can release ones that are this strong, dammit! I guess I have to get serious now, well, I will still hold on to my special card to the end!', thought the young boy.

He then created another fireball, and unleashed it on the fat man, while he started advancing with the black sword in hand. All this while, Max was trying her best to sneak behind the man, unfortunately, an ice spear was sent to her as well, it seems she wasn't sneaky enough.

But, the ice never reached her, instead, it was stopped by an invisible shield. Matthew had created one for her as soon as he entered the room. This also meant, that Matthew couldn't go on for a long time, since he was burning energy fast.

And because he was young, if the fight were to last for long, he would lose just because his energy would be done, and, even though the man wasn't in shape himself, he was still way older than the nine-year-old, and as such, would be able to cast many more spells, before his energy runs out as well.

Max smiled a little, and continued forward, she tried her best to ignore everything that happened to her today, and focus instead on helping the little boy fight this ugly bastard, but, of course, she couldn't block everything, so, some tears formed in her eyes.

But, then again, she also felt a kind of hatred that was impossible to imagine against this man. And, using that, she focused on her target again and continued doing her best to sneak behind the man.

The man defended against the fireball thrown at him and used another ice spear on Matthew, who, used the one power to strengthen his body, as well as remember everything, Asvin taught him. Deflected the spear with the black sword.

Not by relying on his swordsmanship, but by the shadow powers granted to him by the sword, as multiple shadows formed into tentacles, that grabbed the spear before it reached the user, and destroyed it, crushing it into pieces.

The fat and greasy man smiled, as he said, "Hah, you even know that spell, han? So, which is it? Fire, or Darkness? Or, Air? It's pretty obvious, isn't it? But then again, you might have more than three, right?".

Matthew smiled, he had slipped out for sure, since there was only one answer if he had three attributes, Air, which was situated between Fire and Darkness. But, he could still rely on the illusion that he had more than three attributes, not for long, though.

In a fight, it was best to keep the secret of your card, just like this man, who had only used Ice since the beginning of the fight. The man then smiled, and said, "How about we fight for real? We're both heirs, I assume, so, let's decide for our families, which one's better!".

The man, then, cast a spell in a mere second, this one was called, Light! The entire room was illuminated, but, surprisingly, the light didn't go outside, even though the door was open, since it was destroyed by Matthew's spell earlier on.

The light blinded Matthew and Max for a second but did nothing to the man, who used this chance to unleash three ice spears, as well as create a white sword, which he grabbed.

The three ice spears made their way toward the young boy, the first one destroyed the air barrier protecting him, and the second one was stopped, by the still active shadow tentacles, but unfortunately, the third one did pierce through his body.

Matthew grunted in pain, as some blood made its way to his mouth, the spell called Light, had already stopped its effect. An ice spear could be seen penetrating the young boy in his left arm.

'Agh! Dammit! It hurts a lot, dammit!', thought Matthew, still, he didn't get scared by it, instead, he summoned another four fireballs, and let them distract the enemy for a moment, while he took out three healing potions, of the highest caliber in the kingdom, and started drinking them, only to realize, that even though his wounds healed, the spear disappeared into the one power.

The fireballs he threw, hit a shield of ice, but the man wasn't there, he was in front of the young boy instead, a white sword in his hands was raised, and about to fall cutting off the nine years old's head.

Still, it didn't fall, since the man coughed blood in the next second. He turned to look behind himself, and found a 16-year-old girl, holding a dagger that was impaled into his body.
