The Dragon God Swordsman

43. The war began (5)

The brutal and lustful attack of murder was directed at Patih Purno. His opponent was so eager to kill him, Patih Purno became overwhelmed in the face of the attack. While his opponent relentlessly continued to pull out every deadly move.

The delay in attack after attack from his opponent was very little, making him trouble in defending from the opponent's attack. A sideways slash directed Patih Purno to his opponent but swiftly fended off the attack. The moment the attack was successfully repelled his opponent only realized the meaning of that sideways slash.

Patih Purno deliberately took that action so that he would have a chance to retreat for a moment. Now that the two are standing at a considerable distance, the attention of both of them is never distracted by the circumstances around. Their views met each other with faces very serious because they were facing a duel until one of them had to die.

“As a swordsman you must have a name, before continuing our duel it would be nice to know each other's name”, Patih Purno invites to talk to his dueling opponents.

“Ciuhhh”, mysterious man spits on the ground, “So it's you with my strength that you have to look for an atmosphere like this?!. Sneaky bastard!”, the mysterious man is still stirred by emotions.

“I am not afraid of the power of a mad swordsman like you!”, Patih Purno replied with a shout.

“Stat!!! Enough already!!! I am a swordsman with the nickname black bull will not let you live longer!!!”, the mysterious man re-ignited his burning emotions. He then ran to narrow the distance between the two.

“Black bull fighter, I will remember the name”, Patih Purno came running forward to welcome his opponent's attack. Now they both continue the duel by exchanging attacks and moves they each have.

The brutal attack from his opponent was still the same as before, but now Patih Purno could compensate. One of the things that makes Patih Purno respected is the speed with which he learns how to overcome his opponent's attacks. With such intelligent thinking in such a short period of time he was able to read movement after movement from his opponent, what a very good talent.

The mysterious man was shocked because he had previously been able to urge this opponent, but now the attack after attack he launched could easily be restrained by his opponent. He tried to raise the tempo of his attack again but it was the same as the one before, none of his attacks were able to make his opponent desperate.

Patih Purno observed his opponent's attacks continuously while fending off the attack. He deliberately defended so that his stamina would not be depleted quickly, while his opponent continued to attack without the slightest pause. Right now his gaze was fixed on the wound he had inflicted on his opponent, the wound was now not bleeding. He believed his opponent was using deep energy to stop the luminescence from his wound.

“The opportunity will come soon”, his mind is talking. Now he is waiting for the right time to launch his deadly attack.

“What should we do next uncle?”, Aryo asked Subani after seeing the cavalry on his side now fighting with the opposing forces.

“I'm not sure we'll help there young master, no orders given by Patih Purno. Let's trust everything to him, surely he is planning a good thing for us later”, Subani replied to Aryo's question. He said that if they were to participate in the fight then they would not be of much help.

This is natural because it is widely known that the cavalry were brave soldiers to die and in some ways this army was like an army of demons. What they saw ahead would not escape his attack, with horses trained to run quickly as well as the good fighting ability of his riders making them very easy in killing enemy troops.

The duel between Patih Purno and the mysterious man still continues. The two still continue to exchange attacks, but now Patih Purno slightly dominates the attack between the two. This was caused by the stamina of the mysterious man who was constantly drained from his uninterrupted attacks earlier.

Seeing that his opponent was already bored to make Patih Purno raise the tempo of his attack, his spear became faster than before. His opponent's slight tribulation compensated for his spear attack, and the longer the spear attack ended up making his opponent desperate.

With a movement like water flowing every attack Patih Purno flows straight forward and continuous with his hands. His attack patterns became more complicated as well as having a considerable amount of power to suppress his current opponent. He continued to launch attack after attack focused on the top of his opponent's body.

“Iron saver!!!”, Patih Purno took out his mainstay to attack his opponent, he swung his spear like he wanted to hit his opponent from above. This style is useful for breaking swords with a strong spear handle. The mysterious man did not know the usefulness of his opponent's style and he resisted the attack with his sword.

How surprised the mysterious man was after his sword met the hilt of his opponent's spear broke his sword in two. The sword was instantly broken without any cracks in the sword, this was natural because the attack power from Patih Purno used half the power he had. It was this mainstay that made him famous as Patih the iron spear, a nickname that suits his mainstay style.

The mysterious man fell to the ground with blood pouring from his head. Because his sword that was unable to withstand his opponent's attack had an impact with his head that was an easy target from his opponent's attack just now. His gaze blurred and his entire body could not move, Patih Purno approached him while shouting loudly.

“Black bull rider, today is the day of your death!”, after saying so Patih Purno did a slashing motion with his spear. Finally the life history of the mysterious man had to end today with his head separated from his body.

Patih Purno's troops who witnessed the duel between the two cheered with joy when their leader's opponent finally had to take their lives at the hands of Patih Purno. Their cheers echoed to make the army led by the mysterious man become a geek because their leader had lost his fight.

“Life Train Purno!!!”

“Beats the others!”

“Hurry to set up a besieging formation!”, Patih Purno gave orders to his troops. With a quick motion his troops finally managed to surround the remnants of the horsemen led by a mysterious man. And without waiting for the command again in unison they scuttled forward flanking the opposing forces from all directions.

Like prey surrounded by predators, the horsemen of his mental opponents fell drastically. The siege was so tight, and anyone who approached would meet a swift death. Some of them had even given up on the situation, they put the sword to the ground and raised their hands as high as possible for their opponents to see them who had given up. While some of the top brass of the opposing army were enraged by the attitude of their fellow soldiers who had surrendered without being asked.

“Don't give up! Remain their opponent!”, orders a Patih whose position is under a mysterious man. He continued to shout at his soldiers who little by little continued to kneel to the ground with his hands raised upwards. He became angry with the actions of his soldiers, “Just die you cowards!!”, Patih then moved forward towards his soldiers who had surrendered, and then moved forward towards his soldiers who had surrendered, attacking them did not even hesitate to kill him even though the fact that the soldier was his own subordinate.
