Lost Souls

Chaptre 04. New power

In the middle of a quiet night Ky suddenly comes out of the house and brings his sword to practice secretly in the middle of a vast desert.

"I'll take this sword and train tonight, I don't want to be a burden someday for Lianti" he said.

Ky gets out of the house and practices like the one Lianti first taught him, the horses Lianti taught him have never been perfect when Ky did. But this sword of his was extremely light and easy to swing.

when Ky tries and tries again, suddenly the sword swing of the umpteenth time gives off a black light that comes out of his sword, what made Ky even more surprised was that the light split through the desert that was right in front of him.

"What black light just came out of this sword" asked Ky inwardly.

"Is this sword also the one that cut through the sand, is this the power of my sword?" While looking at the sand that split quite deep and far away.

Long enough for Ky to practice that makes her body sweat, Ky decides to stop practicing and continue her sleep so that Lianti does not wake up from her sleep.

Tomorrow Lianti and Ky who were getting ready to train with their swords each immediately began a training that would be very strenuous for today.

"Are you ready Ky?" Ask Lianti.

"When" Ky replied with a sharp look.

They both train with vigor and full of stamina that is still burning, Ky with his new sword almost compensates Lianti.

Lianti who saw Ky change so briefly was amazed at him.

"You are now getting used to this exercise" Lianti said.

"I want to be strong and defeat other knights in the race and will help to save your brother" Ky replied.

It was already noon and the two of them decided to take a break for a while.

"We stop for a while and rest, come here" Lianti invited Ky to sit down.

"How can you change in just one practice, lest you practice at night?".

Ky who heard that was surprised, Lianti had been watching Ky while practicing at night.

Ky has since fallen silent and answered the question in stammering fashion.

"Hm.tid.no, I also don't know why it can change so quickly" Ky replied as he turned his gaze.

Lianti who saw it smiled and then let Ky lie, but he knew that every night Ky always practiced alone with his new sword.

Finished break Lianti offers to fight one on one with Ky. Ky was surprised by Lianti's invitation because he still did not deserve to fight against Lianti who was clearly very reliable in sword.

"Ky!!, do you want to fight me one-on-one, we will duel casually, do you want to?" Ask Lianti.

"APA!!, I still can't duel with you and still lag far behind with you" Ky said.

"Hmm well we'll train as usual for today but tomorrow you'll want to when I'm having a one-on-one duel, got it!!".

Ky who could no longer refuse finally agreed to the duel offer.

"I will train hard today so that tomorrow I will be ready to duel with you" Ky replied as he brandished a sword to Lianti.

Although Ky's body was flushed and sweat a lot, he continued to continue training.

The clock kept going and the time changed, it was nine hours they practiced and it was time to finish and rest.

They both took turns to clean up and continued to eat dinner and then go to bed to be able to practice again tomorrow.

The fourth day to train and Ky is getting ready to face a very difficult process in front of his eyes, which is training against Lianti.

"Are you ready for a rookie?" Lianti asked while raising his eyebrows.

"You really underestimated me" replied Ky.

Their fight begins Ky who is very confident starts attacking Lianti first.

"Hiyyaa accept this" Ky said as he ran towards Lianti.

Sringg Sringg's.

The clash between the two swords had already started, Lianti who felt Ky's strength begin to increase, he also raised his fighting level to compensate Ky.

"I don't underestimate you Ky, you're amazing with only two days of practice".

"It's nothing yet!!, let's get more serious".

Ky who continues to raise his fighting level is not aware that he is very good at fighting and playing his sword.

When Ky is serious about fighting Lianti, Lianti suddenly becomes stronger and corners Ky, Ky who follows excitedly without him realizing his sword gives off light like that night.

The surprised Lianti immediately dodged but unfortunately he was hit by that slight slash of light and had his left cheek scratched quite deeply.

The duel was finally stopped because of the light that just came out that hurt Lianti, Ky who felt guilty immediately apologized to Lianti for hurting him.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean it" Ky said as he covered the wound on Lianti's cheek.

"It doesn't matter, after all, this is the risk we get when fighting".

"This small injury is fine for me, let's continue the training" Lianti continued.

Lianti was still amazed by what he saw just now, even someone he had not known for a long time was already quite talented in swordsmanship.

Lianti has not been able to be serious in this duel, because if Lianti is serious in this one-on-one he will be able to injure Ky very badly.

"It is better that this time I will fight Ky casually, I don't want to hurt him at all" Lianti said in his heart.

Not because time has changed from day to night, they both look very tired, but still Ky is still powerful and he said.....

"Let's finish the exercise here, we rest and cool down and do it like normal days" Lianti said.

A few days later the knightly match was about to begin, Lianti was overjoyed that it would soon be held but one side of Lianti was still afraid. Whether Ky can make it through the race later.

Before going to bed Lianti was still thinking about how to get Ky stronger and managed to escape in the early preliminaries.

"Whether he will succeed in this preliminary, the day is approaching and Ky is still not strong enough" Lianti said as he looked at the stars above the sky.
