Lord of the Truth

Chapter 26 - Confrontation



Chapter 26 – Confrontation

"Tell lady Mila what's going on here!" the head of the institute Felix Bradly told Brown Bradley who was sitting next to him, who nodded and urgently sent one of the guards.

Caesar, who was standing on the stage surrounded with complete silence, pointed his halberd in the direction of Remus and said one word, "Come."

The word woke Remus, who still hadn't regained his composure yet,

"You… do you think that because you entered the eighth level, you qualify to fight me? The energy level is not everything! You leveled up very quickly and it is clear that you lack actual combat experience, your fighting ability shouldn't be able to defeat someone at Sixth level!"

"Come and we'll test your words," Caesar replied with a straight face

"You overestimate yourself! Brother Remus, leave it to me… I'll wipe the floor with his face!" One of the eighth-level youths in the group couldn't take it any longer.

"Yeah.. go and kill that bastard for me." Remus patted his friend's shoulder

The youth leaped over to the stage to confront Caesar and declared, "If I don't defeat you within five attacks, I will change my great name, Bori!"

"I don't care about your name, I will put my life on the line in the contract, but you will have to pay me 5,000 gold coins if I win, you dare or not?" Ceasar replied calmly, he was amused when he saw this guy hopping in front of him, 'an easy money has delivered itself!'

Bori waited a few seconds before declaring, "agreed."

This bet was not small.. 5,000 gold coins are considered a huge amount even for a noble descendant.

The referee waited for a while until he added what was said in the contract, let the two parties sign it in front of everyone, then jumped to the end of the ring and shouted "begin!"

Caesar's face turned from emotionless into a cruel smile and freely released his aura "Come, my dear 5000 Gold Coins, show me how you will defeat me with five attacks."

Bori felt that Caesar's body started growing… He felt that he was a rabbit standing in front of a lion… Caesar's real aura and battle intent- which he had accumulated from living among beasts for more than 26 years – penetrated its way into his heart.

He began to hate himself for he decided to advance first, but he gathered his courage, shouted loudly, and advanced with his sword pointed toward Caesar

"Hmph." Caesar snorted when he saw the sight and raised his halberd with one hand, waited until Bori got close to his range, and

*BOOOOOOOM*

A white light flashed for a moment when Caesar landed his halberd, in that single moment, the halberd surrounded by white cut the broad sword in half then continued its way to the stage's floor, cutting it 5 cm deep, on both sides of the slice there were burns marks.

Before Bori realized what had just happened, a punch came out of nowhere and found his nose, making his entire face bulge inward before he was sent flying out of the ring.

Silence… Absolute silence… Was this really a fight of two on the same level? This is the closest to a fighter playing with a child!

..and what was wrong with that terrifying halberd attack? The sliced stage and the raging white flame that is still burning the stage quietly left a deep mark in everyone's mind

"Hehe, then this is the power that a perfect major heavenly law carries.." Robin chuckled and said in a low voice, scouring Peon whose eyes opened as if he was seeing a god coming down to earth.. he's been living with this monster all those months?

—-

from start to finish Caesar hadn't moved from his original place, everything was done within a second! he put his halberd back to standing upright next to him and said softly, "Who's next?"

This time he was not met with sarcasm from Remus's group, but rather with looks of deep fear… This was not supposed to happen!

They were all sure that this would be a bullying fight between the strong and the weak..but they weren't supposed to be the weak side!

The plan was to beat and humiliate him slowly on the stage till lady Mila show up then apologize, even take the opportunity to speak with such a legendary figure like her!

and if lady Mila doesn't show up, they would have killed him because he scared them with his lie for a whole year ..but now? Does he even need lady Mila to appear?

'Shit, I can't retreat in front of someone who's two levels weaker and much younger than me, I won't be able to raise my head in front of anyone again. Calm down, even if he's strong for his level, it's impossible for him to jump two whole levels to fight me' Remus thought while clenching his teeth

He knew it was impossible for anyone else to step out of his group to fight this guy again, so instead of wasting his time and losing more face, he jumped straight onto the stage and declared, "I admit you're strong..and out of respect for you, I don't want to kill you or even maim you anymore.. let's have a friendly fight between two rivals."

"rivals? you think too much of yourself" Caesar shook his head

Remus clenched his teeth, "Don't push your luck too much! no matter what, I'm not going to sign a contract that allows killing or maiming an opponent… anything else is negotiable."

"…So anything instead of killing and maiming is available? that's fine by me…let's sign the contract on this… word by word."

Remus felt cold when he heard this, It was clear that Caesar was trying to set a trap for him, but it was a trap that he had to jump into. So he agreed and signed the contract.

"Begin!" shouted the referee

"Hyaaaaa!" Remus took the initiative and thrust his broadsword towards Caesar, who in turn took a more serious stance. The two began a strong clash.

"Hey… aren't those moves from the halberd basics handbook from the library?" One of the professors asked and attracted the attention of many to focus on Caesar's moves more.. when they realized that it was indeed the basics of the halberd they sighed…

That boy was fighting someone two levels stronger than him using something that could be bought with money.. it was known that any technique that could be bought with money was trash!

——

The clash lasted about a full minute in which the two exchanged over a hundred attacks, but no one advanced over the other, giving a huge morale boost to Remus who shouted, "Haha, I admit you're better than I expected, but this fight is over! I didn't use my secondary heavenly law cultivation technique till now.. as soon as I use it, I will be the winner!"

After saying his words, he quickly retreated from the circle of ​​action, and after closing his eyes for a moment, sparks began to fly around the broad sword

"It's the secondary heavenly law of Fire Shards, the newest and least widespread law discovered by his majesty, it is priceless! Marcus Rufus seems to love his son very much" one of the attendees exclaimed

While the audience was in a state of frenzy at the sight of the secondary heavenly law Fire Shards, Remus was busy condensing the law around his sword and the Fire Shards began to multiply in number and size, soon the place began to heat up, all this with Caesar watching from the side…

After about half a minute, Remus opened his eyes and laughed, "Haha, I can't believe you waited for me until I complete my preparation, are you so self-confident… Or are you just an idiot?"

"Neither, I just don't want anyone to say I'm bullying you when I activate my own law cultivation technique."
