Aldred slashed, pushing both brothers a few steps back. They gritted their teeth and stared at him with fury.
"Aldred, take this weapon," Maverick shouted. He threw a long sword along with its scabbard. It was twice as tall as a man, and impossible to use in his child form.
So he morhped into adult form, caught the scabbard before putting it over his shoulder and on his back. "This is heavier than I thought."
Aldred melted the sheated sword into his All Devouring Stick, after that he transformed the stick back into the sword.
"I bought that sword from someone who is not from this continent. He said it was made from a powerful lava monster. And it said to contain a spirit. Not sure what that meant, but I cannot use it properly, so you can have it."
Aldred smiled. "This is good sword." He analyzed it with his godly eyes and this sword indeed had spirit in it.
Well, at least he suspected the small glowing thing on the sword was a spirit. The glow could only be detectable when he activated his godly eyes.
"Let's try this." Aldred turned to look at the twin. "Why are the both of you just stand there? You even let me take my new weapon and talk to my friend. You guys need some basic training."
The twin brother snorted. The reason why they did not attack was because they realized Aldred did not drop his guard at all when talking to Maverick.
Only a fool would attack when he feign to drop his guard.
Aldred rushed forward, the sword raised over the back of his head. He did not know this move, but it felt natural for his body. It was as if the spirit helped him to do this technique.
The two brother did not expect Aldred to change his fighting style. At first he was quick, but used less power in his attack. This let them block a couple of attacks, but they knew this attack wouldn't be light.
When the sword was swung down, they didn't even bother to block as they rolled away to dodge. If Aldred was using his normal fighting style, they wouldn't dodge because he would follow up with another quick attack, so dodging was a mistake in that situation.
In this case, Aldred used a long sword that was heavy enough for powerful blow, but wouldn't be quick enough for a follow up attack.
At least, that was what they thought.
His blade quickly slashed horizontally which was almost impossible to do with a sword that heavy. Even Aldred was shocked by his own movement.
Suddenly he rushed forward. His body glowed in red at the same time when his blade slashed at the enemy. The glow was just for a single moment when he swung his sword.
The enemy blocked with the chain, but the weight and power pushed him back. Aldred leaped at him again, repeating the same thing.
As if something told him to shout, Aldred roared. "Spirit Slash!"
His body glowed in red brighter as he attacked once. And then twice, and then thrice. That was when something happened to the balde.
A white light outlined the blade. He did not know what it was, but something told him to attack more.
Baldus gritted his teeth as he blocked Aldred's basic attack.
Arnott came rushing at him from the side, Aldred anticipated that. "Lateral Step Slash!"
His long blade spun from above his head from the left and to then to the right as he leaped to the side.
Surprised by the unexpected move, Arnott was cut right on his shoulder.
Aldred rushed forward and attacked again and again. As he attacked, he noticed there was a red color was increased from the hand-guard up to the middle of the blade. It slowly increased to the tip, and that feeling returned again.
His feet left the ground, attacking the enemy with horizontal slash as his body glowed in red. "Spirit Slash!"
After finishing one attack, the red color on the sword reduced by a third. When he attacked again, the red color reduced again. "Spirit Slash Twice
Aldred attacked for the third time. Pushing the twin by two steps. He then ran to them and shouted. "Spirit Slash Thrice!"
His blade and body glowed in red longer this time as he slashed left and right before sending an overhead slash.
He then stepped forward, spun, and performed a sweep attack. "Spirit Round Slash!"
A powerful red energy enveloped him and his blade were glowing thick red for that single moment as his sword passed through the twin's bodies.
But after the attack, their bodies were not cut, instead, their power were weakened as if a part of their souls were sliced.
"This sword is perfect for fighting against an opponent far stronger than me. If I can tear down their strength bits by bits, I will surely win in a prolonged battle."
All these times, Aldred's enemy had always been an easy fight. They either die after one attack or two. Only Elite level entity such as the Forgotten Warrior and Xer Xai could make him struggle, and if not for using tricks to defeat them, he wouldn't be alive right now.
The white outline on the sword turned orange and Aldred felt his strength and speed increased. He raised an eyebrow. So this weapon not only weakened the enemy, but also empowering him?
Baldus and Arnott were at their exhaustion points by now. All Aldred's attacks were heavy and quick. The weapon was well-rounded in damage, speed, and mobility. Not to mention it had a long reach due to its length.
"Brother, we have to use our ultimate skill or we're going to die at this point," Baldus said.
Arnott nodded. "Let's do it."
Suddenly, a powerful aura burst out from the two. They went into a wide stance, spun their chains in the air, and then whipped it at Aldred from two different directions.
The wind around them were cuts into pieces as if there were numerous blades slashing and hacking in the air.
Aldred also felt a pressure force that weighed down on him, making it hard for him to move. That was when something entered his mind. The sword spirit talked to him not with words or body language, in fact Aldred did not know why, but he somehow understood what the spirit meant just by using his intuition and feeling.
He waited for the chains to strike him instead of trying to dodge it. When the chain struck his head, Aldred's body moved backward while pulling the blade. Sparkling blue aura enveloped him, and the chain passed through his body as it was merely an illusion.
"Foresight Slash!"
Aldred launched forward and performed a horizontal slash that created a large wound across their stomach.
The twin brother spat out blood as they dropped their chain.
Aldred noticed the outline turned from orange to red. The red aura spun around the blood then around him. The spirit guided his body into a proper stance before he bent his knees and kicked the ground to perform an attack.
"Spirit Thrust!"
The long blade struck their waist, Aldred then leaped into the air, and execute a downward slash. The tip of the blade created a red trail of energy that went down between the two brother.
When the sword landed to the ground, time seemed to freeze for a single moment before the air burst into powerful red energy that cut everything around it.
"AHH!" The two brothers screamed as they fell to the ground. Their bodies were intact, but Aldred could feel their power were reduced to Silver Rank.
"What a scary weapon," Aldred said.
