9 THRONES

CHAPTER 120: EATEN BY THE SWORD

"Shelf!".

The swords of Vann and Horge collided with each other, the sound of the collision of their 2 swords was so loud that it shocked many spectators around.

Since the match had started, Horge did not plan on hiding his original goal anymore. However Vann was above the arena when the match began, as long as Vann went down and left then he was considered to lose.

So Horge who was holding Vann's sword using his own sword shouted proudly "Son, you are really stupid! I was being friendly to you just now just to trick you into daring to go on stage! Hows it? How does it feel to be cheated by others?".

After saying all that, Horge strengthened the energy in his sword to push Vann back.

At first Horge thought he was able to push Vann away as long as he used his full strength, but Horge was immediately surprised to find that Vann was not pushed back by his strength at all.

"Who is deceived and who is actually deceiving, we will soon find out the answer!", said Vann smiling mockingly.

The water gathered around Vann which formed a huge wave. Ever since Vann became a Gold Core, the power of his 5 Element Sword became even more terrifying.

Behind Vann, a 5-meter-high tsunami wave appeared that smashed into Horge violently "Steel Technique 5 Element stage 1, Water Wave".

"Earth shield!", cried Horge thrusting his sword into the ground after he slightly moved away from Vann.

A shield from the ground appeared in front of Horge, 4 meters high and 2 meters wide in a rectangular shape.

"Shelf!".

The water and the ground shield collided with each other.

Slowly something that shocked Horge happened, the earth shield that was his best defense technique started to crack.

"Shelf!".

The crack in his earth shield became bigger and bigger until it was finally destroyed, the frantic Horge could only summon his spirit.

"Booooom!".

The water wave hit Horge hard, Vann who was above the water wave stared towards the place where Horge was to find out if he managed to win.

Not just Vann, everyone else was staring at the place where Horge was. However they found out that Horge had been knocked back just now, they were able to judge that it was likely that Horge's strength was below Vann's.

Vann gazed towards Horge's location before shaking his head "the 10 strongest elite disciples in Wood Sword Academy should indeed not be underestimated, they cannot be killed that easily".

In front of everyone's eyes, Horge's figure was seen in the middle of a giant snake that had a length of tens of meters.

Although Horge's entire body was wet from the water wave earlier, there was not the slightest wound on his body that showed how well the giant snake protected him.

Horge looked at Vann with red eyes, Vann completely repulsed himself to the point of having to summon a spirit. As a senior who had been in the academy longer than Vann, Horge was certainly embarrassed.

"Snake, eat this child and don't let him live!", cried Horge angrily pointing towards Vann.

The giant snake that was Horge's spirit rushed towards Vann without hesitation, he opened his mouth and fired poison at Vann.

Looking at the approaching poison liquid, Vann dodged to the side without hesitation.

But a giant snake tail immediately greeted Vann, the tail of the snake hit Vann suddenly.

"Shelf!".

He jumped up high which made him manage to avoid the tail of the snake.

Then Vann drew his sword and slashed at the giant snake without hesitation.

"Dash!".

A large bloody wound appeared on the snake's body, Vann who had just landed on the ground turned back and slashed towards the giant snake again "Strade Technique 5 Element stage 2, Wind Blade".

Tens to hundreds of sharp wind blades formed around the giant snake, after which the blade of wind slashed at it without hesitation which made countless slash wounds on the snake's body both large and small.

Even though it had suffered many injuries, the giant snake showed no sign of giving up.

He gazed at Vann with his sharp eyes before rushing towards Vann like a madman, he planned to crash Vann to death before his entire body was slashed by Vann's wind blades.

"Kyuro!", cried Vann.

Kyuro's figure appears in front of Vann. If it was the beginning of meeting Kyuro, Vann would definitely not trust him to help fight against the powerful giant snake spirit since everyone knew about how weak the water ball spirit was.

But Vann is no longer worried, he knows Kyuro is more than enough to defeat a giant snake that is already heavily injured.

As Vann expected, Kyuro's body suddenly enlarges which catches a giant snake.

The giant snake tries to escape Kyuro's capture, but he finds the water ball on Kyuro's body so powerful that he has trouble freeing it.

Vann took the opportunity as long as Kyuro was busy withholding the giant snake then he rushed towards Horge who was frozen in place.

Horge was startled, he could not believe his ever-so-powerful giant snake, now defeated by the new kid from the academy and the waterball spirit that was considered the weakest spirit.

When Horge regained consciousness, he found Vann in front of him while coldly slashing the sword.

"Shelf!".

Fortunately Horge was still moving in time, he was able to stop Vann's slash that almost hit his neck.

But before Horge was pleased, Vann's sword attack suddenly turned to the side.

"Dash!".

Vann moved to the side and slashed at Horge's left hand before he realized it. Although Horge holds the sword with his right hand, losing his left hand will give pain to Horge and interfere with his movements.

Horge jumped back in panic, he looked at his lost left hand before shouting "No way! There's no way I'm losing to a new kid like you! There must be some mistake here!".

"There is not the slightest mistake!", said Vann shaking his head, he rushed towards Horge while saying again "The mistake you made was not to challenge me from the beginning but to wait a month later! If you don't give me time to grow, I'll lose!".

Seeing Vann approaching himself and the giant snake staying in Kyuro's custody, Horge knew he had lost which made him retreat full of panic "Faraway! Don't come any closer! I'm an elite disciple of the 10th rank of the academy can't possibly lose to you!".

"Booooom!".

A powerful burst of energy emerged from Horge's body, Vann who approached even Horge immediately stopped his steps as he sensed the crisis from the burst of energy.

In front of everyone's eyes, they discovered something shocking other than Horge's burst of energy: the sword in his right hand was trying to eat Horge himself, the sword had started to eat a portion of Horge's right hand which left some puzzled.

They had never heard of a sword eating its own users.
