Just as Leoric''s sword was about to hit Alaric, Alaric lifted his sword blocking the swing. Making Alaric drift back splitting the ground, as he went back a distance spanning 10 houses.


    Leoric, looked at the woman on the ground, kneeled before her, and gave her his respects.


    "leave this area, it''s by no means safe" said Leoric, looking at the woman and her child.


    As she stood up, and ran away, holding her baby in her arms. Leoric stood up again, looking at Alaric.


    "you must be him, the legend of the last knight of honor"


    "and so what if I am"


    "this is going to be a great battle, one that will be told after generations"


    "who even are you"


    "I knew you''d say that, I''m Leoric, The strongest knight"


    "I doubt it" Alaric said, now walking towards Leoric slowly.


    "oh really? I bet that cape of yours would look great on me" said Leoric, as he also slowly walked towards his enemy.


    "this cape is a symbol of honor and strength, something you probably lack"


    "and do you know what this sword is?"


    "I know it, it''s the Blade of Immortals, the only sword on this land that could pierce through the flesh of dragons, and the flesh of those who are immortal"


    "that''s it, exactly, now it''s time for me to get that cape"


    And with that, Leoric sprinted towards his enemy, letting out a war scream as he does. Alaric didn''t rush into it, as he just walked slowly, waiting for Leoric to finally reach him.


    This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.


    Just as Leoric finally reached his enemy, he swung his sword from down to up, but it didn''t do much, as his enemy dodged it with ease, and another one, and another, not one single hit landed.


    Alaric then held Leoric by the throat, lifting him off the ground, and then slammed him onto of it again, sending a Shockwave through the city, he then took a few steps away, creating a small distance between them.


    "what are you doing, stepping away from the fight?" said Leoric, as he picked himself off the ground.


    Alaric stood silent, as he waited patiently for Leoric to straighten himself up, then as they were at equal footing again. Alaric got into position, his stance very different and unusual, yet menacing.


    Leoric got into a stance too, this time, he waited for his enemy to make a move, then Alaric quickly sprinted towards Leoric, as this time he''s the one making the first attack.


    He swung his sword only for it to be blocked narrowly by Leoric, but there was an effect of knock back, Leoric felt as if he was getting pushed back with every block, he was impressed yet fearful of the strength his enemy has.


    Alaric wasn''t tired or was he even feeling a bit of difficulty fighting. He then used his scabbard to sweep Leoric''s feet of the ground, and hit his sword knocking him back even further.


    Alaric seeing that Leoric was now faraway, turned around, and walked towards the inner wall guarding the palace.


    Leoric, just as he hit a wall, looked up at the sky.


    "it''s no longer dawn... " Leoric said, as he chuckled a bit.


    Alaric was still walking, but then he saw a shadow of something far away in the sky, looking up, he saw a silhouette of a knight, with wings on his back, focusing his eyes a bit, the silhouette was now descending towards him at a fast pace. Alaric realized it was Leoric.


    ''the bastard can use magic'' Alaric thought to himself.


    "I''m not dying yet" shouted leoric as he descend at a fast pace towards his enemy. As he swung his sword.


    Alaric, put his sword up, blocking the swing, sending a Shockwave. As the swords now rested atop each other, Alaric was confused as to why Leoric didn''t use his magic from the start.


    As they''re now on the ground both, Leoric''s wings still on his back, they swung their swords on each other, each contact the swords made, sending a Shockwave around the city, knocking dirt away from them, and every every stone around them getting sent back.


    Alaric knew that it was time to use his magic, with great speed again, he was now behind Leoric, he cut his wings, and just as he swung his sword on his armor, it was hard and very tough, it was nearly impossible to penetrate.


    So instead of opting for a slicing swing, he opted for a swing that would send leoric back a very great distance.


    And just as he hit him, Leoric was now flying in the air, nearly touching the ground, skipping through the ground, as he hit the inner wall, destroying a great portion of it, but he didn''t stop there, as he went through the base of one of the towers of the palace, making it fall to the ground.
