Zhelezo kicks the dry dead body back.
He walks slowly toward Kano and Saria.
Kano raise his sword,
Pointing straight to Zhelezo.
The sound of Zhelezo black armor echos through the fort.
Kano look back at Saria
Seeing an opening,
Zhelezo rush in, raising the black blade high.
"IDIOT!!"
Yells by Zhelezo while he swings his blade down to Kano
Kano turns in time and blocks the slash.
The blades clashed.
The ringing of the clash echos in their eyes.
Zhelezo smiles by Kano strength,
"Quite strong for a boy from that small village."
Zhelezo push Kano back slowly.
"Or soon to be ashes ruin."
Zhelezo raise his blade and kick Kano in the stomach.
His speed is increase from before.
Kano pushes back by the kick but still stand tall.
Kano rushes forward, and so Zhelezo.
Both of them slashes their sword.
It clashes and creating sparks.
Kano grips his sword and pushes forward with more slashes.
Parry, block, parry, slash, block, slash, and parry.
Both of them are neck to neck in term of power.
And the thought of it starts to creep in Zhelezo's mine.
"How?"
Zhelezo starts to question in his mind
Zhelezo spins back and does a low slash.
Kano jump and does a front flip.
In a fraction of landing down and strike his sword.
The sword hits Zhelezo.
Lucky his armor protects him from the slash.
Zhelezo proudly knock on his armor.
"High End Steel, like it?"
His face contorts and form a malicious smile.
Kano stand in silent.
Zhelezo stands and wait for his reply.
"Wait, you don't what steel is. Your low live farm bo-"
Kano speeds up to top speed in an instant.
Kano open his mouth, whispers
And slash Zhelezo.
Zhelezo smile ignorant.
He looks down on Kano,
Zhelezo then says
"Second time won't change a thi-"
Zhelezo starts to cough out blood.
*COUGHS* *SPLATERS*
"What?"
After questioning himself, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach.
In his mind.
"HE CUT ME, THE HELL?"
He looks at Kano is malice in his eyes.
"That boy slashes me between my armor without I realize it."
Is smooth skin face turns to raged by the rage.
His blood boil.
He yells.
"YOU THINK YOI ARE STRONG?"
He questioned Kano,
Kano stunted by the question.
Before he could process it, Zhelezo turns back and sprint the fort's gate.
"He is running away."
Thought flashes by Kano's head.
Kano follows Zhelezo,
The follows cut short by Zhelezo sudden stop.
He looks at the now six unconscious bandits.
He smiles wide to his ear, then he does the unthinkable.
He stabs his comrades.
All of them too death.
The action is too surprise, Kano and Saria could only watch.
Before he could stabs the 6th bandit, Kano lunged and slashes him.
Unfortunately, the slash is blocked easily.
Then Kano starts to get push back, quick.
With a big push, Kano fly's back.
Dropping the sword.
Kano looks at Zhelezo.
The red aura surrounds Zhelezo, his eyes glows red.
His fang grows longer.
"Let me show you,"
Zhelezo looming over Kano.
"The power of the,"
"Vampiric Curse."
