Hero of Darkness
Chapter 22
Chapter 22: The Newcomer
Kahn looked at the old man Arkham, focusing his sight on any slight movements the old man might make. His Survival Instinct alert & then he activated his Hunter's Intent.
Kahn knew that no matter how accurate his perception or Survival Instinct blessing was, if he didn't have enough reaction speed or strength to defend himself against a truly strong enemy; his life would be forfeited right on the spot.
"You have some good senses, kid. Now let me see if you actually know how to fight." said Arkham as he took his first step towards Kahn.
WHOOSH!
Arkham's image flickered the next second and Kahn sensed an impending doom coming towards him.
Clang!
Just as the Arkham was about to hit Kahn, the young man quickly used the sword to block his left-hand side and finally, Arkham's figure appeared in front of him.
Author: Consider his sword similar to the one in the cover art of the Novel, with a black hilt and guard.
The surrounding people gasped with surprise!
Even the other instructors were amazed. Because until now, Arkham never used his speed to attack any of the examinees. He only parried and dodged them before landing a fatal hit with his wooden sword. But now he was taking the approach of the attacker against the young man.
And to add more surprise to this, the young man actually blocked the strike that everyone standing there failed to see.
"Nice sword." said Arkham and he swung his wooden sword again. Kahn was barely adjusting to the grandmaster rank swordsman's extremely quick speed and attacks.
Each strike looked very simple but only Kahn knew that Arkham was trying to either land a fatal blow or disarm him. Not a single movement from the old man was wasteful and as Kahn kept defending against these flawless strikes that followed a form of rhythm to them, leading his hand movements when he was defending against the strikes; Kahn realized that he was being too overconfident of himself when he asked the old man to attack him first.
"Is defending all you can do?" asked Arkham with contemptuous eyes as if he was disappointed with Kahn's skills.
