Chapter 1052: Monarch’s domain
Saber Monarch and Vidyut looked at each other and their backs with a hateful gaze. The stabs are deep and powerful. If they were a bit inexperienced, they would have been dead. They are that close to the heart.
Saber Monarch’s face showed a new trace of anger. He was never this angry in front of his teammates. Of course, except the day when he was killing the people in the maze.
At this moment, the Saber Monarch looked like he would slice up everything that came his way.
With a mere thought, another saber appeared in his left hand as he felt another slash on his back. He didn’t even try to block or dodge it this time and even Vidyut barely did it.
Saber Monarch walked to the middle of the barrier and stabbed the saber into the ground as his aura changed. It became sharper than ever. He is surrounded by a bright glow and the spiritual energy surrounding him became very sharp. Vidyut felt his arrows vibrating in his quiver as the whole area in the barrier is enveloped with the saber aura.
The twins knew that something is off, so they sped up their attacks. Vidyut once again tried to dodge and shot an arrow at the twin. But there was nothing as always.
He was confined by this space and also became frustrated, he looked at Saber Monarch who is currently holding the handle of the saber that he stabbed on the ground and kept his eyes closed.
He took out an arrow and activated partial lightning fusion, getting ready to break the barrier, but at this moment, the Saber Monarch’s voice could be heard.
“Don’t waste your energy like that. You might want to use it later. Leave this barrier to me. Focus on dodging for another thirty seconds, after that, shoot at every spot I point you to.”
Vidyut nodded and shifted his focus to the dodging.
In these thirty seconds, the Saber monarch barely moved to avoid his vitals and took all the stabs from the twin that was attacking him.
After the thirty seconds are over, the Saber Monarch opened his eyes, and the area in the barrier is filled with his aura. Saber Monarch let go of the Saber that he stabbed and held the one in his hand tightly as he turned around and swung his saber.
The Saber blocked the dagger that was about to come. While he did so, his freehand also created an arc in the air which flew over.
Vidyut looked at that small saber arc and shot his arrow full of lightning energy at it.
The arrow clashed at the art and got repelled by it, before changing its direction, the remaining twin who was about to attack Vidyut was forced to block the arrow and felt a bit numb as he felt the lightning energy from it.
The twin focusing on the Saber Monarch is trying to stab him, but all his moves were being seen through. Within this barrier, the twins have complete control over the space. They can appear wherever they want and they can disappear whenever they want to. But currently, it didn’t seem like this.
At every instance, their presence is being identified and being marked by the Saber Monarch and his saber is reaching them no matter what.
Even though he is just throwing a saber ray with his fingers to point out the second twin, it only meant that he is not going all out and didn’t want to bother himself too much. So, he is using Vidyut’s skill to their advantage.
After he managed to do this the first time, there was a second, a third, and a fourth, and many to come.
The twins failed in landing a single strike.
At this moment, the Saber Monarch swung his blade directly at the twin.
The saber not just blocked the saber, but moved forward without any hindrance at all and left a deep slash on the twin, all the while throwing small arcs around to hinder the other twin.
The twin in front of Saber Monarch felt like he was cleaved into two even though he only suffered a slash on his chest.
He immediately tried to disappear from the spot, but even though he became invisible, the saber monarch swung his saber once again and this time, he severed the calf muscle of the twin who appeared out of thin air at the spot he slashed.
The next few seconds are a sorry sight. The Saber Monarch slashed at the empty air, but the Saber got stuck in the ribs of the twin who appeared out of thin air. He is using spatial ability to mask himself, but he was almost cleaved to death. The only reason the saber stopped there is because of the dagger he used to block at the last second.
The second twin wanted to help his brother, but he was unable to do so.
The arrows kept on coming at him and he is barely able to dodge with minor injuries.
Saber Monarch slowly walked towards the twin that fell with a lot of injuries.
“What is your name, my friend?” He asked the Saber Monarch.
“I am called Saber Monarch.”
The twin thought for a moment and smiled.
“What a suitable name, in the domain of the Monarch, his authority is absolute and his dominance is the law. You indeed are a Monarch of the Saber. But too bad, when it comes to domains, I and my brother have some experience and can be considered experts, we will meet again and we will have a proper fight at that time.”
As soon as he spoke, he stabbed the remaining dagger in his hands into the ground. Saber Monarch moved a tad bit slower and missed the twin and he didn’t manage to throw the Saber ray towards the other twin. He turned around and yelled at Vidyut.
“Shoot me.”
Vidyut frowned, but looked at Saber Monarch’s determined gaze, he did as he was told. He channeled all his energy into the arrow and shot at Saber Monarch.
By now, the Saber Monarch is the only one that is left at the spot and even the second twin disappeared after stabbing the ground.
As the arrow came at him, the Saber monarch channeled all his energy into the Saber which made it glow like it was made of some illuminating material, and slashed it down towards the arrow at a weird angle.
The Arrow was slashed into two and split into two parts.
The two arrow pieces moved in two directions, the barrier broke and one arrow was stuck in the back of the injured twin, but the other arrow barely managed to scratch the leg of the second one who is relatively strong.
Saber Monarch held the injured twin and said in a regretful tone.
“It seems like we are about to miss this guy.”
Vidyut just smiled and took out an arrow and he aimed.
“There are a lot of houses, here, people will die if you use the arrow recklessly.”
“Don’t worry.”
Vidyut reassured him and shot the arrow high into the sky and closed his eyes.
His consciousness shifted to the arrow in the sky.
This is one of the archer’s techniques that is used to stalk the prey that is hidden in too many structures.
He took out another arrow and activated partial lightning fusion. The arrow was covered with indigo lightning as if it was completely made of indigo lightning and this time, he pulled the string to its limit to the point the bow is giving some noise because it was pulled to the extreme.
He shot the arrow into the sky.
It shot like a lightning flash and hit the first arrow before slammed down. Both of them ran towards the direction and at that spot, they could see the second twin who is currently laying down motionless on the ground with his whole body paralyzed with electric currents.
Vidyut carried him over his shoulder and both of them walked to the city gate.
When they reached the gate, their team is already standing there with a bunch of city guards hesitating whether they should surround them or not.
“Come fast you slowpokes.” Paras said impatiently and all of them quickly ran towards the woods.
The city guards wanted to follow, but they didn’t dare.
They could only report to the merene family. But to their dismay, the merene family is currently holding an emergency meeting and is waiting for the rest of the core members to come to start and they stopped all kinds of matters including the reports from the city guards.
But the city guards are the very people that are holding the report of the situation regarding the missing core members.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the Family head got impatient and just explained the situation. When the members heard that they would be able to get rid of that curse, they were ecstatic, they are ready to do anything to get rid of that damn thing.
