The Amber Sword

Requiem(12)

The second and third Cerberus arrived at the scene just after Brendel killed the first Cerberus. The way Brendel killed their comrade so easily obviously scared them, although the Cerberi were not very intelligent, they were still smarter than the average devil. Upon seeing Brendel sprinting towards them with his bloody sword, both of them immediately retreated.

Unfortunately, Brendel was not planning to give them any opportunity to retreat. He jumped forward with his sword high up on his head and slashed at its forehead. With this attack, Brendel had already activated his Dash: the Cerberus had no room to escape. With its urge to back down and the fact that the current situation did not allow for advance nor retreat, finally, in this two-way dead end, it was slashed straight on the forehead by Brendel’s sword.

With a loud sound, Brendel’s sword immediately slashed Cerberus’s body into half. The terrifying power of the Golden Peak Elemental Power (黄金巅峰要素显化) instantly crushed its body, and a powerful explode blew its body into pieces of meat and bones.

And just like that, the Cerberus was killed by its own patheticness. Brendel landed on the floor, breathing heavily. Although his Golden Peak Elemental Power could easily deal with a Cerberus, monsters were monsters after all, and it wasn’t easy to deal with monsters while saving energy and without using any Elemental Point.

He could only take advantage with his broad experiences.

Brendel looked back, Nicholas and the Paladin of the Holy Cathedral of Fire had just each killed a Cerberus. The amount of the Cerberi was already low from the start, and with that, half of them were dead. But that did not mean that the pressure had been reduced, the rest of the knights were already having a hard time dealing with the Hellhounds, much less the Cerberi.

At that moment, even she could not help but stare at Brendel weirdly. If Brendel was not her lord but an outsider, she would be the first to ask what he was trying to do.

But the Paladin was not surprised at all, he pierced the heart of an imp rushing towards him. At the same time, he took another step back and said for the first time in a somewhat flat voice, “ It appears that the Lord already understands the secret of the Flash Strike Sword Art, so you want to use it to teleport to the portal? ”

Brendel nodded his head.

The Paladin was finally shook, and he looked at Brendel as if he was a lunatic, “ Master Lord, have you thought about how the Flash Strike Sword Art is not easily learnt? Besides, there is no time to relearn a new Sword Art now. ”

Normally, this was indeed the case.

Brendel could not help but scratch his head too. If he could, he would never behave like an omnipotent person in front of normal people. But the problem was, there was no other choice. Compared to this, being an omnipotent person was always better than becoming a dead body.

“ It doesn’t matter, Mr Stephen. This… you know, I’ve been talented in swordsmanship since I was young. Why don’t you tell me the fundamentals of the Flash Strike Sword Art, as my last wish to satisfy my curiosity. ” Brendel sighed.

This was absolutely ridiculous, but somehow the Paladin believed it. He suddenly remembered Brendel’s identity: Earth Sword Saint Darius’s grandson. The name Earth Sword Saint Darius was not only famous in the small kingdom of Aouine, when he was a marshall in the Holy Cathedral of Fire, there were plenty of admirers of the Earth Sword Saint in Kirrlutz.

However, that was the last honeymoon period between Kirrlutz and Aouine. After that, the relationship between two kingdoms became cold, and eventually the Earth Sword Saint also retreated to a reclusive life for unknown reasons. In a normal person’s perspective, this was merely a shift in national politics. But as a high-ranking figure in the Holy Cathedral, he knew some of the backstory.

But since Brendel was the descendant of the Earth Sword Saint, it was understandable that he was curious about the Flash Strike Sword Art. As a swordsman, he understood this feeling very well. In his opinion, Brendel’s request could indeed be counted as his final request.

However, he did not believe in the bullshit about ‘Brendel’s superior swordsmanship’ at all. Perhaps it was not surprising that the descendant of the Earth Sword Saint had certain talents in swordsmanship, but for Brendel to immediately learn Flash Strike Sword Art? Stephen felt that this joke was more ridiculous than Brendel claiming that he was the Flame King.

“ So, you agree?” Brendel quickly asked after seeing the Paladin’s hesitation.

To be honest Stephen did not know that Brendel did not even need him to tell him anything about the Sword Art. All he needed for him to say was that he agreed to teach him the Flash Strike Sword Art.

Oh well, he also thought that this thing was a bug.

Paladin Stephen finally nodded, “ Alright. ”

At that moment, Brendel could hear the prompt as if it came from god.
