Swish!Swish!Saish!


    It was like a swift blowing wind.


    For Vend, it was just a light movement, but it was nothing like that for normal people as they weren''t able to notice his movements.


    Vend was a veteran of the war and had crossed the age of 60. He was a bit of a maniac and was highly experienced when it came to fighting.


    The soldiers of Arkham cheered for him after seeing Riya''s condition and thought that she wouldn''t be able to handle the attack and soon get her throat shed.


    KANG!TANG!


    However, Riya blocked the attack with her fast reflex. Vend took a step ahead andunched another attack but Riya responded without stepping back


    TANG!


    They exchanged blows one after another. Vend thought that it would be easy to take down Riya but Riya showed no signs of backing down or being pushed back.


    Vend felt that if they went on like this, thedy before him might be able to get a hang of her fighting techniques and start pushing him back.


    The girl before him was seriously good at adapting and hemented sorrowfully and wondered why there was no such talent born in Arkham.


    He was enjoying the fight and soon lips parted yfully and he whipped his sword.


    The sword split into multiple small des that were joined by a strong string like a metallic whip.


    Riya was instantly alerted to see Vend changing the form of the weapon.


    Vend clenched the handle and rotated the sword which revolved around him like a whip and he whipped it at Riya.


    Riya shed with her dagger but the whip after colliding with the dagger coiled around the dagger which Vend pulled back, Riya''s flesh on her right palm was torn open with a bloody gaping wound and the dagger was pulled back by Vend.


    "What an unusual weapon! I know what you are thinking?"


    "Those who die by my hands, all have the same thought."Vend muttered and advanced towards Riya while shing the whip.


    Riya''s gaze didn''t tter and she took a deep breath and jumped to dodge the attack.


    The ground below her copsed as soon as the whip whacked the ground.


    BANG!BANG!BANG!


    Dust and debris started to fly around due to his attack.


    Riya somersaulted and avoided the attack but her reaction seemed a bit slow.


    Vend''s eyes shed and he thought he found an opening, so he swung the whip trying to catch the slippery eel.


    Riya was in mid-air and the whip was moving towards her like a thick anaconda which wanted to wrap her and crush her after coiling around her.


    Swish!Swish!


    The whip was about to touch Riya but its motion stopped in between and as if it had lost its momentum all of a sudden, it slumped down on the ground.


    Vend''s eyes narrowed as he tried to pull back the whip like a sword but his whole body hardened and his eyes widened as big as saucers.


    As he moved his hands, he found many ck strings wrapped around his body and as Riya descended, a sweet smile blossomed on her face which made his heart falter.


    "Though I was quite surprised at first, it didn''t mean you were a difficult opponent," Riya spoke with a seductive smile which shot at Vend like an arrow and pierced his heart.


    For a moment, he thought about why he had to fight such a beautifuldy and injure her.


    Such beauty shouldn''t be touched. He felt as if he had sinned by wounding her.


    His thoughts didn''tst long as he felt a deep piercing pain and shook his head his back was drenched in a sweat as he wondered why he was having such suicidal thoughts.


    Riya hadn''t even used her real power otherwise this man would be gone for real.She started to the other side and saw Alex had already finished her battle and was looking at her anxiously.


    She smiled at Alex to calm his heart.


    Riya changed her gaze towards Vend and spoke angrily"Die!"


    She raised all her fingers over which strings were wrapped and twirling her finger, pulled it back.


    Screech!


    The strings around Vend tightened and the armour on his body started to tear up.


    "Arghhh!"


    "What Kind of string is this? It can even tear my metallic armour?"


    His face flushed and became red due to the pain.


    "No, Sir Vend is in trouble."


    "We need to help."


    "Even Sir Cain is in danger. We need to protect them."


    The Arkham soldiers weren''t able to tolerate Vend''s screams of pain and despair. They rushed towards Riya wanting to tear her down.


    Riya stared at them and gave a cold snort, waving her hand.


    Swish!Swish!


    A purplish me appeared over a string which cut down the ones who were advancing.


    Despite the death, they didn''t stop.


    Max along with his troops formed a line and appeared in between Riya and the Arkham soldiers.


    While Aeon formed a line trying to defend Alex.


    Both sides shed against each other. The Arkham soldiers tried to overpower the Kinley''s soldiers and break through the line but Max along with others also fought back.


    Riya didn''t waste any more time and waved her string.


    SHINING!


    A sound akin to the tearing of paper was heard.


    The string stirred and blood started to gash from Vend under everyone''s frightened gaze, the armour was torn, and his body was cut into pieces and fell to the ground.


    "No!!"


    The Arkham soldiers were horrified as the loss of Legendary rank was a devastating blow for the entire Arkham.


    On the other hand, Alex smiled and looked at Cain whose face had be as pale as a sheet of paper.


    He felt as if his soul had escaped from his body.


    At this moment, he was worried more about the life of the troops and themander. With their fall, the troops may copse and themander might be killed.


    He wasn''t able to worry for long as soon eternal darkness descended upon him as soon as Alex swung his sword.
