First duel
[Where am I?]
He slowly opens his eyes and look around. "Thank god, you are awake. I was going to ask for help!" he hears a voice talking
"Huh? What happened?"
"You opened the chest then a white light appeared and you lose consciousness."
"How long was I asleep?"
"Not so long about fifteen minutes."
"Then don't overdramatize this situation."
"Do you feel any different? When I look inside the chest there is nothing."
"My left eye hurts, that's about it."
"If there is nothing inside, it means I acquired an ultimate ability?"
"Seems like it. We don't what this ability does."
"There is the only way to check out."
"You mean you are becoming a duelist?" said Vaan
"Yes."
"You are serious? I mean you don't have combat experience. You don't have a strong body. You intelligence is average and your aptitude with magic is low."
"Don't stop me now to becoming a duelist. You are the one who encourage me to open the chest and I admit I'm curious what's inside."
"I always want to become a duelist since I was a child now I gained such powerful ability maybe my dream will become true.
"How do you know it's a powerful ability? Maybe it's useless in combat."
"My instincts told me. I'm going to the city and take the tests to become a duelist. Can you leave? I want to make preparation."
"Then I'm going back to my house. I'm going with you to the city."
"It's ok. See you tomorrow."
Vaan left Sky's house and walks towards his own. His house is located at the end of the village.
[This is strange, why is the village so silence?]
HELP! he heard someone screaming. [Someone is attacked?] He run towards the scream and saw a body full with blood. [Where is the murderer?] He looks further and saw the man walking towards him. It's was the man in the bath house
"So you are the brat that have stolen my blue stone," said the man
He looks at the body of the villager and said
"Well well, you should blame this brat for killing you and the others."
"You massacred the entire village because I stole the stone? Aren't you a duelist? I tell this to the duelist association."
"HAHAHA! Do you really think I will let alive?"
"If you kill me now, you will never find the stone," said Vaan with a mocking smile
The man isn't laughing anymore and said "Hand me over the stone then I let you live."
"You really think I'm so stupid to believe you?
"Then DIE! I will find the stone myself inside this village."
The man charged towards Vaan and cuts his head off.
[I'm going to die!] That was his last thoughts before his head get cut off.
[Stupid brat, this village isn't big anyway. I will find the stone.]
Sky has finished preparing, he looks at the chair behind near the bed and a dagger is lying there.
[Oh, he forgets his dagger. I should bring this back to him.]
He left his own house and walks towards Vaan's. After a minute walking, he suddenly feels something is wrong.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
Then he suddenly saw a man breaking inside the houses of the village.
"Hey what are you doing?" shouted Sky
[Maybe this brat knows something.]
"Hey you, do you know anything about the blue stone?!"
[The blue stone belongs to him?]
"What is your name?"
My name? It's Richard Desiree.
What have you done to the people inside this village?
"Oh, I killed them!"
[BASTARD!] Anger and sadness that's what Sky is feeling now.
"I KILL YOU!" He rushed towards the man with Vaan's dagger and want to stabs his heart.
"Idiot." The man kicked his stomach and he flew backwards."
"For the last time where is the stone?" The man doesn't want to kill Sky yet.
Sky stood up and thought
[Maybe Vaan is right, I shouldn't become a duelist. The difference between me and him is too great.]
[Wait a second, this is just a normal sword and clothing]
"Richard Desiree."
"What did you say?" The man is shocked
"You aren't Richard Desiree. You are the thief that stoled the blue stone from him.
"And what If I am.?"
"Then I'm relieved. I thought you are a rank five duelist and I can't beat you no matter what. But you are just a scum."
"You want the stone? To bad, I use it."
"You use it?"
"I finally understood why my left eye hurts."
"What are you talking about?."
"Father, If one day I possessed an ultimate ability how can I use it?"
"Silly child, there is no way you can have such power. But if you somehow obtain it all you need to do is chanting Ultimatum Activate."
Sky remember what his father said.
[Thank you father for saving me again.]
"ULTIMATUM ACTIVATE!" His left eye color suddenly turns in to blue and his pupil shape changed into ∾ .
The man wastes no more time and attacks Sky. He launch a sword slash to cut his head off. When the sword is nearing his throat he moves his head backwards to dodge it. The man continues with his attack, but now Sky is parrying his attacks with the dagger.
No matter what attack the man use it's still getting parried by his opponent.
[Is this ability supposedly to make me powerful. I don't feel anything special. But I can follow his movements with my left eye.]
[That's weird, I can parry all his attacks. My body feels stronger and lighter?]
"STOP PARRYING MY ATTACKS AND START ATTACKING!" shouted the man.
Sky is distracted by the shouting and the dagger flew out of his hand.
"DIE! The man perform a jump attack with his sword. He holds his sword with both hands and want to swing it from above.
[Maybe this power enchant my body defenses.]
He uses his left hand to block the air attack.
Tak! A sound of something falling could be heard.
An arm is falling off in front of Sky. He doesn't even realize yet .
[What the?]
The arm belongs to the man!
