Chapter 047,048. (Battles between magic user’s)
“I suggest you let go of the princess or there will be major consequences.” Leon said.
“I am afraid I can’t do as you say.” The young man said. “She belongs to her own kin. She doesn’t need to go back.”
I look at Leon and the young man exchanging glances. Their gazes were firm and unwavering.
“Then I have no choice but to fight you.” Leon said with a chilling voice. He looks at me and his face became gentle. “Just wait a bit. I’m going save you.” He smiled his bright smile.
Then Leon looked at the young man again with fierceness. “You’ll going to regret abducting the third princess of Alvannia.”
Leon unsheathes his sword from its scarab and pointed it towards the young man. So the young man do the same.
“You are also a knight I presume?” The young man said. “Then I challenge you to a duel. If you win then I will gladly give you the princess and also my life.”
“Are you sure?” Leon asked.
Leon looks at young man, gauging him. Just one look at him and he knew that this man had been poisoned by he dagger he had gave to me a while ago.
“You have my word as a knight.” The young man said. “If I don’t get the princess back to our prince then I am as good as dead. I will be much better of dead.”
Leon looked at the young man with scrutinizing eyes.
“I am against this your highness.” Dimitri whispered. “We can quickly subdue him with the two of us.”
“But as a knight, I can’t just let his words go.” Leon said. “I accept your challenge.” He said to the young man and unmounted Midnight.
“Your highness.” Dimitri whispered more forcefully.
“Light a torch, just in case.” Leon ordered him.
Dimitri do as his prince ordered and light a torch.
Leon and the young man were now standing in front of each other. Their swords both in their hands. Then not long they engage in battle.
The sounds of swords clashing is heard in the dead of night.
In the fight, the young man was clearly in a disadvantage. Leon was easily pushing him back with every swing of his sword.
The young man was panting heavily. His movements become unstable and sloppy. Not long he dropped his sword to the ground.
Leon points his sword on his throat with a triumphant gaze.
“Yield!” Leon said with authority. “I know that you are at a disadvantage. And I am not that cruel of a person to ki|| a person who is lying on the ground.”
“Never!” The young man yelled. He raised his hand and the water from the pond near us also raised.
“Leon, look out!” I yelled. “He can control water.”
The young man waved his hand towards Leon. The water turned into spears and flew towards Leon.
Leon was surprised with the sudden attack. But he was able to dodge the water spears effectively.
“You really are an Atlantian.” Leon had a mock smile.
“I will get the princess to our prince wh@ťěver it takes.” The young man said. But then he coughed some blood.
“I am afraid that you can’t stay alive to take her. I think you only have a few hours left.” Leon said mockingly.
The young man looked at Leon in anger. The water spears multiplied in number.
“Dimitri!” Leon yelled.
Dimitri threw the torch he was holding in a pile of dry leaves. The fire flared up.
With a swish of his hand the fire grew bigger. The young man stared in awe with the burning blaze behind Leon.
“You can control fire?” The young man asked in disbelief.
“I won’t accept a challenge from and Atlantian if I also don’t have some cards up my sleeve.” Leon said.
