《The Red Saint》Chapter 19: The Baron vs The Hero (Part II)

"START"
After The King says it, Gabriel then began to summon the Sword that he created early in the morning. The Sword that he created is Hrunting the Sword that Beowulf uses to hunting down Grendel; Hrunting is a Long Sword with black color.
~ Hrunting (Sword)(Legendary) ~
*Hrunting: The Hound of the Red Plain is the Sword that used by The Legendary Warrior Beowulf to kill the Giant Grendel*
Attack: 3200 + (10*STR)
*Bonus: +400 STR, and 320 AGI*
~Unique Skill~
*Hunt (Active)*
Upon locking on the enemy, Hrunting will hunt the target until the target is dead. Hrunting can't be blocked, dodged, or even destroyed when it on the hunt.
Gabriel then looks at the Void Mage on the hero group before raised Hrunting up in the air and says.
"Target Locked."
"Hunt to the end of the World."
"Hound of the Red Plain!!!"
Gabriel didn't tell its real name because he fears that one of the Hero will know the origin of the Sword.
Hrunting then began to launch itself toward the Void Mage, Tsukino Yuma. Gabriel able to see a red projectile coming toward Yuma, she tried to teleport, but after she teleported out of the way, Hrunting began to take a turn and coming toward her at high speed.
Seeing that Hrunting keep the Void Mage busy, he then began to focus on the rest of the Hero. The reason he chooses the Void Mage is that, in his opinion, she is the most annoying to deal with. If he wants to attack him, then she can teleport in the blink of an eye, and if he wants to run, she can teleport him to her location as well.
Gabriel then creates 20 sword projection and also take out Naegling from his Inventory. He then began to charge toward the Hero Elementalist. After arriving near The Elementalist, he raises Naegling high then swing it down, but before Naegling can hit Yukawa Yoshihito, The Hero Knight, Aoyama Keizo block his attack with the shield on the Knight's hand.
*Crack*
While he can't hit the intended target Gabriel able to damage the Knight Shield with his attack, he knows that Naegling not only its Anti-Armor skill work on leather Armor it also works on a shield as well.

Seeing his shield got damaged, Keizo then pushes Naegling out of his way before making a distance from him. As he makes a distance, Keizo hears Shimizu Saori their Healer shout.
"ARGGG"
Keizo then looks toward Saori and see that his Sword Projection is impaling her from all direction. Yoshihito then quickly run toward her to help her.
Seeing that Yoshihito and Keizo get distracted, Gabriel then charges once more, but before he was able to do that, he quickly dodges an attack that coming from his side.
"Rapid Thrust"
Gabriel keeps dodging the incoming attack, and after 5 seconds, the attack stop and be able to see that the one attack him is The Sword Hero Kagawa Takeji.
"I'm sorry even though he is annoying. He also still my teammate."
"You know we don't need to fight in the first place, right?"
"I know."
"Then, why?"
"Well... I want to fight with you."
"Why?"
"When the king says you are level 70, I got excited about the prospect of a battle with the one that has the same level as me."
"You can be sparring with the other, you know? I'm not the only one that has level 70."
"Yes, but the only one that has level over 70 is the King and the GeneralGeneral. The King can't spar with me because he is busy, and the General does not like us for some reason."
"I see, then let us fight."
"Yes"
Gabriel and Takeji then began to fight with both their weapon; after fighting Takeji for a minute, he knows that he can't keep with Takeji. So he swaps his Naegling with Caladblog to give him an extra boost in STR, AGI, and HP.
*block**parry**dodge*
They continue to fight with their weapon for 5 minutes.
*CLANG*
After Gabriel blocks the attack from Takeji, he quickly makes a stone wall that blocks a Fireball that coming from his right side. After finished blocking the attack, he able to see Yoshihito, who, far away from him with Yoshihito staff, pointed at him.
Seeing the situation, Gabriel began to create another sword projection and sent them toward Yohishito to distract him from finishing his Chant. After sending his sword projection toward Yoshihito, he then continues his fight with Takeji, who charges at him with his Sword.

While he fights Takeji, Keizo, who finished helping the Healer Shimizu Saori, began to charge at him. After arriving near him, Keizo then activated his skill.
"Cresent Moon"
He then sees an incoming attack in the form of a sword beam that coming toward him and blocks it by creating a stone wall that stops the beam from reaching him. And began to run toward Keizo and activated Caladbolg's unique skill.
"SHOW THE WORLD YOUR COLOR"
"SHINE ONCE MORE"
"RAINBOW SWORD"
Gabriel then jumps high in the air and throws Caladbolg toward Saori, Yoshihito, and Yuma, who busy dealing with Hrunting that hunt her until now. After throwing the Sword toward their location, an explosion then happen, and after the blast finished the King Says.
"Shimizu Saori The Hero Healer, Yukawa Yoshihito The Hero Elementalist, and Tsukino Yuma The Hero Void Mage has been eliminated"
Hearing the announcement Gabriel then began to calling back Hrunting and use it once more, but this time he uses it on Takeji, the Hero Swordsman.
"Lock the target."
"Hunt"
"Hound of the Red Plain"
Seeing the Hrunting hunt once more, He then takes Caladbolg and store inside his Inventory before taking out Naegling to deal with Keizo. He then runs toward Keizo, who raises his shield and then block Naegling that coming toward him. He continues to swing Naegling without giving Keizo to counter-attack, and slowly he able to see that his shield began to break.
While fighting Keizo, he also sent a sword projection toward Takeji, who busy dealing with Hrunting that always-on Takeji way to helping Keizo fighting him. As for Keizo, his shield has already been broken by Gabriel onslaught, and his armor is almost broken.
Gabriel continues his onslaught on Keizo, but before he was able to hit Keizo with Naegling, Keizo activated his skill.
"SECOND CHANCE"
Gabriel sees that all the wound that Keizo had has vanished. The armor that Keizo was wearing began to repair themself as well, but the shield that has been broken didn't fix itself. Seeing it, he knows that this skill only works on something that not yet been broken.
"Damn you, if not for this skill, I will be defeated by someone like you."
Keizo then started to charge at him, but this time Keizo going an all-out-attack without thinking about his defense.
*dodge* *parry* *slash* *stab*
They continue to fight in close one-on-one combat for 5 minutes before Keizo armor gets destroyed, leaving Keizo without any protection. Gabriel then swings Naegling as hard as he can toward Keizo, and as his swing gets connected, Keizo gets launched away from him.
"ACK"
*Thud*
After the hit, Keizo trying to stand up, but Keizo can't do that as his body has many wounds while the Club can't crippling his enemy on a public duel, but the Club able to cause a pain that hurt that nobody business. As he walked toward Keizo and raised his weapon, he gets interrupted by Takeji.
"Seven Strike of Wind"
Gabriel able to dodge four sharp winds that coming from his back, but the rest of them able to hit him and make his back bleed. Gabriel is seeing his wound flinch a little before using his Biological Manipulation to fix it within a second. He is then quickly finishing his business with Keizo as he swings down Naegling making Keizo HP down to zero, as the King announce Keizo defeat.
"Aoyama Keizo, The Hero Knight has been eliminated"
Seeing the situation, Takeji smiles at him while blocking Hrunting that is still coming toward Takeji and said.
"I forfeit, I know when I defeated"
"Kagawa Takeji, The Hero Swordsman is forfeited from the battle, Leaving Baron Gabriel D'Arc as the winner of Battle of Honor."
The audience then began to roar and cheering for him. Gabriel can see little Annette who is jumping in joy for him and also the rest of Barthélemy Family. Gabriel then sees the King who walked toward him with a smile on his face and says.
"Congratulations Gabriel D'Arc"

Magikind [Original]
The third millennia, a time of change and evolution. An era, where people, through countless generations, have evolved strange powers and abilities. Through several centuries of selective breeding, these beings, known as mages, have become part of the very foundations of society. However, some refused to change or adapt. They believed in purity and refused to interbreed with magikind. Known as the manush, they were a rarity among society. Now, in the fifth millennia, the manush are thought extinct. With magikind ruling the world, a three-way war grips society. In these uncertain times, a manush called Gin, will herald a new era for all Magikind. A story of how man could realistically evolve while still pushing boundaries. Disclaimer: Chapters will be edited once the first volume is done. Bear the beginning for the time being, and hopefully you can see my writing improving over time (I've learnt a lot on how to write because of this (though I'm still not perfect :P)) Proud Member of Writers to the End, WriTE The link to the pledged fictions PS. If you find the 'notes' too boring or too info-dumpy, feel free to skip them and just read the main chapters. They're there for the reader to understand Gin's world (written in the perspective of Gin). But later on, we can see some interactions between the main characters and the occasional references to his past in the notes, so it has its purpose.
