Guri and Imaez had looked at eachother.
Guri's eyes were filled with spite and fury, as he bit his lip until it bled. Imaez had gotten into a defensive stance, waiting for Guri to lunge at him with that massive hunk of a sword.
*Realistically, this is my best way to assess the power of that big ass sword— not to mention he's mad as hell right now so it's best if I make him go on the offensive…* Imaez strengthened his grip on his blade.
Lloyd and Marie had began using their Wind and Lightning abilities to successfully contain the Nobility who had been desperately trying to escape. They had looked towards Imaez, whom has been assessing the skill and capabilities of his opponent.
"IMAEZ! WE'LL BACK YOU UP!" Lloyd shouted at him.
"I got this." Imaez said arrogantly looking slightly behind him, seeing the Aurels through his peripheral view.
Guri dashed at him— "GEEEYAAAAAA!" A scream that had so much bloodlust induced into it.
The Greatsword had swung down on Imaez, whom blocked it.
"HRRR! HRRR! HRRR! HRAAAAH!" Guri swung his sword like a madman.
Imaez had easily been blocking with efficiency; almost too easy.
*Is this seriously what he calls 'Art of the Sword Emperor?' Who the hell even is the Sword Emperor?* Imaez thought to himself while dashing side to side avoiding his swings.
All of a sudden—
BWUUUUSH! A large clanking sound being heard.
Imaez flew into a pillar— "Khhk…" Blood spat from his mouth. Guri had hit him from the side using the hilt of his sword.
*So he was trying to make a pattern and have me continue dashing to get a good hit on me… smart move Noble man..*
Guri had pointed his sword towards Imaez—
"This is the difference between talent and experience. You may have Void abilities, a body made for combat, but my experience and trickery simply outclass you. Allow me to tell you once more who I really am—
Lieutenant Major of the Royal Army, Guri Janaden the IV."
*Lieutenant Major?!* Almost everyone had thought that in their heads.
Nobles had began chatting among themselves—
"Lieutenant Major? That's almost apart of High Command…! Only 3 ranks away from the High Command."
"I heard Lieutenant Majors have a seat in Parliament.."
"Doesn't the Military technically own the Parliament though?"
Chatter filled the Castle.
Imaez stood up and grabbed his sword—
"Alright, I'll show you experience."
A distortion—
bfffffzzzzzzz
….
A shiver in the spine. The atmosphere felt empty and cold.
A creation. Imaez had swiped his hand across, creating a pocket of space where gravitational force was infinite, and the pull was infinite aswell. Coating his blade in this.
"This shouldn't be possible. Skill of that level is one in a billion..! Only 3 people in Lavetonian history were even on this level of Void ability.." Guri mumbled in disbelief.
He quickly regained composure—
*That's right… he's a Special Threat. I'm a Lieutenant Major.. it's my job, to cleanse this nation of sinners!*
Heat quickly filled the rooms
The Great-Sword that Guri carried had been coated with Magma. He had hardened it and kept the thermal energy of it intact.
He began swinging the sword around. Each swing warped the air seconds before the blade arrived.
The sheer heat he began emitting through magma, he was manipulating it.
