The Sended's

Chapter 68: Place in the Sun

Uwah this is it! I look forward to this, a fight between matchless warriors against the strongest knights. I bet high on Percival, although I know that Fengxian is not an easy opponent, well....

"My name is Percival, Knight Queen Lofi under the Ruby Kingdom,"

"I'm Lu Fengxian, let's fight fair,"

The two of them got off the horse, then put up their horses while moving around to pay attention to what the opponent wanted to do, both of them seemed to be expert fighters for not directly attacking

for the first few minutes, the two of them just kept doing it

Then next, the attack was started by Fengxian. It spins and swings its spear from above, gaining the perfect momentum to make a big impact on the percival but...

Percival managed to hold it with a sword that he used like a spear, where his right hand he used to hold down where the sword handle was located, then his left hand was precisely the arm he used to hold the other end of the sharp sword. He used his entire body to withstand Fengxian's attack yet no one knew it

Be it Shin and Zhongyin, both of them could not believe that anyone had managed to withstand Fengxian's attack in full. Great isn't it, Ruby knight?

Not until there, Percival even pushed and threw back Fengxian's spear and made a swing that pointed to his shoulder. Fengxian managed to hold it back, but did not manage to repel another Percival attack that was a kick

"It will be interesting" Fengxian said

He once again charged forward and Percival was forced to defend back from the tangled thrust that Fengxian was aiming at, only when Fengxian's attack went from stab to swing did Percival begin to strike back

This time it was a horizontal slash, Fengxian managed to hold it back with the center of the spear that she held tightly. Then he struck Percival's sword with the bottom of his spear so that now Percival's sword is thrown up

Because of that, the front of Percival was very open to attack

"Hhhh!" Fengxian thrust his spear into that part

But Percival was not an ordinary strongest knight, maybe in a fight Fengxian had a lot of experience to win against his enemy, but Percival has experience in combat where far more things must be considered when moving

If you have taken down your enemy and are prepared to end it, do not lose focus on the battle that is going on. Because there are still sword swings, spear thrusts, floating arrows, and some other things that can make you end first

Percival wanted to test this out to Fengxian with him who did not rush to put his sword in a defensive position but instead directly swung it from top to bottom

The point is well. he wants to pit his courage....

"Ap-"

As Percival wished, Fengxian called off his attack and decided to dodge.

"Your courage is commendable, but complaining about life like that is not the usual way of dueling" Fengxian said

Didn't he say it was cheating? It means he is not looking for an excuse. Well...how could someone with a peerless title like to look for excuses? His name would definitely not soar if so

"Following that, I'm here for the victory of my country" Percival darted forward

He used his sword to stab, which Fengxian agitated with a swing of his spear

Then he spun in line with the speed of his sword when it was fended off earlier, levitating a heavy swing against Fengxian. Yet again it managed to be stopped with a Fengxian spear

"Your words make me even more sorry for coming into the army, Percival" Fengxian said

He pushed Percival's sword and both of them back to keep their distance

"You know, I was not a warrior but a fighter, I fought whoever I wanted but that doesn't mean I oppressed the weak, I sought an opponent stronger and more famous than me, until I no longer find them...."

Fengxian lowered his head and lowered his horses, on the other hand because seeing that, Percival also did the same. He listened carefully to Fengxian's story, I could see it from the movement of his body because indeed I could not see his face....

"Mr Dong raised me to be his son and this is where I stand as a matchless warrior, but the freedom I once felt was locked inside me. But it seems that it's because I'm only looking in this Eastern Continent." He threw his spear into the ground

"You proved to me that there are still many other human warriors as strong as myself on the other side of Kelfia. So promise me, Percival! Whoever wins this duel, must be the strongest among humans!" And finally Fengxian pointed his spear back

"What are you saying, Fengxian?! You want to betray-"

"Spell down!! Percival!" He said loudly

"Hmph! Anything to keep you quiet and put an end to this fight,"

The two of them re-installed their fighting horses, then after a moment of silence... Fengxian used the fire magic that he had channeled into his spear, then he threw it towards Percival

Damn, that surprised me, I'm sure Percival felt that way too. But amazingly he was able to move to dodge while his mind was still enveloped by the shock

"Hey, what is it? Isn't that cheating?"

"Yes, when he said it was a fair fight,"

The Ruby warrior behind me certainly started to panic because of the magic Fengxian used, it was not their fault for having never seen such magic but.... if you remember, no one said that this duel should not use magic

"What are you saying? The death duel is a sacred duel where you have to use all your abilities, only then can we respect the opponent" explained Shin

So apparently, it's quite interesting

"But... Is it just my feeling or can Mr. Percival not use magic? Sorry if I was wrong, but Fengxian also just this time using his magic," Shin continued

"You mean?" Much

"Actually because it's a death duel, usually the fighter will cast strengthening magic on him and his weapons, but neither Fengxian nor Mr. Percival do that,"

"Don't just be Percival, in Ruby kingdom there are only three people who can use magic" I said

"Eh?!" I haven't told him yet, have I?

The battle grew hotter as Percival was finally able to cut the distance and get closer to Fengxian and then make many attacks in a short time, each attack causing sparks when it was fended off by Fengxian

Likewise, when Percival fended off the Fengxian spear, a short blaze appeared in the field.

At one point, Fengxian had slashed Percival's armor on his stomach, but Percival had managed to cut off two of the distinctive tails on his head

After the attack just now, they kept their distance, but not for long until they would immediately complain of a backlash. Where this time, I think is the decisive attack

"Hhhh!!" Fengxian Exclaimed

Percival managed to hold it with his own swing, but the resulting effect was too great that they were both knocked down. So it's not the end....

But next, Fengxian put up the horses that he had never used before, I got a bad feeling about this

"This is it" Zhongyin said softly

He advanced, Percival also did the same, they were back in arms but when it was done, Fengxian immediately turned his spear quickly and smashed the lower end of his spear hard into Percival's stomach

From there came a considerable blaze devouring Percival, we could no longer see it from here as his entire body was engulfed by that flame for a few seconds

"N-Miss?" Shin started to worry

"Sir Percival!"

"Sir Percival!"

The Ruby soldiers did too

After the fire, a pitch-black smoke covered their entire fighting area, but before long a shadow appeared with a tail above his head despite being short, he Fengxian

"It was a good fight" he said

As soon as he intended to turn around, another figure emerged from that smoke, Percival

"This good fight is not over yet" he said

"Ap-"

Percival performed a vertical slash, this time Fengxian was repulsed by it

"Eh? Miss, how can...?"

"As I said, there are three people who can use magic in Ruby, our Queen is one of them but so is our genius inventor, he also designed the armor with various materials, he said, one of those materials is called tungsten,"

So tungsten was the metal that had the highest melting point, which made Percival manage to withstand the flames that were directly fiddled on his body

"This helmet really bothered me, it messed up my vision and my breathing, made my attack imprecise and more quickly exhausted me. Now we can both use our maximum strength,"

Woah did he just criticize Maou's findings?

"That's great! Aha!!" Fengxian Swing

Arrested by Percival, even this time he bent the Fengxian spear far away and continued with another counterattack

This time their speed was balanced, they were clashing with each other a force which saw Percival slightly above the wind, such a small difference could be great if used well

"I was born into a family of warriors, grew up watching my family fight against invaders, grew up to be knights, honestly I don't know what crap you said just now!"

He reflected back to Fengxian's attack, and I could see Zhongyin's look of disbelief on the other side of the area, even the horse he was riding on until it was a bit panicked from seeing Percival's true strength

Oho! Then one more, Percival has since been aiming for the same point on Fengxian weapons, can be known where this fight is going, right?

Fengxian put up the horses again, where he would use his magic

The two of them came forward to clash, as before Fengxian swung the top of his Ji spear, then immediately twisted it to hit and burn Percival once more

Although his sword was slightly blown away, this time Percival directly swung it with all his might to Fengxian

Once again, they clashed with courage by launching attacks on each other

"Hhhh!!"

"Hm!"

Fengxian arrived first because of the length of his weapon, Percival was on fire again but this time he did not pause for a moment, this time he continued his vertical slash without caring about the wound he received on part of his face

Fengxian though surprised, just like Percival before him he managed to move to fend off that Percival attack. But well. his spear was split in two, as well as himself.

Today, it looks like Percival managed to bear another name for himself.
