157 Tournament 12

"He did something unbelievable. He just used my family, Low Profound Tier Skill, 'Five Strikes'. In the last strike, Kenshin used the Fourth Strike. But Alexander...He used something that overcomes the 'Fifth Strike' just now." He explains his Family Sword Art just like that to the other family heads too. That shows how absurd what Alex did just now. The other family heads also already know about Himura Family Low Profound Tier Skill, 'Five Strikes'. But it was only up to the Fifth Strike. When Takata said Alex used something that overcomes the 'Fifth Strike', they were shocked.
"Low Profound Tier Skill? But from the way I see it, it was higher, at least it is equal to Mid Profound Tier Skill" Elder Conn said.
When Elder Conn said that, the other family heads were surprised, 'Mid Profound Tier Skill, among the five big families, there is only one who has Mid Profound Tier Skill, it is Nakagawa House. But, now with Elder Conn statement, it means that Himura House also has it now. But the problem is whether they dare to ask it from Alex or not.
Takata continued, "Our Five Strikes run down for generations, but no one can do something like that. If I need to say, it is the Sixth Strike."
"Ho...I'm really interested in him now. Well, he is going to join my Heavenly Sword Sect anyway, I can wait a bit more." Conn said leisurely
"Wait!" Su Hua immediately interjects him, "He is going to join Mount Hua Sect, not your Heavenly Sword Sect."
"Are you going to steal the Heavenly Sword Sect disciple? Your Mount Hua Sect can't nurture his skill in Sword." Conn said arrogantly.
If Takata said that Alex could do something like this in a span of two days, he didn't see the manual and only copied from Kenshin's movement. Conn might snatch him and go back to the sect immediately.
Meanwhile, in the arena. Kenshin was surprised to see something like that. "What is that?"
"I feel that the Five Strikes is incomplete. So, I try here and there and somehow managed to do that last strike, you can say that it is the 'Sixth Strike'. Anyway, It is my win again" Said Alex while turning back and walk away.
Kenshin looks at Alex disappearing back and shake his head. "As expected of you, Alex."
...
Kenshin rest for a while to recover his stamina a bit. Since he needs to fight Ray Adams first before the final match between Nakagawa Hiina and Alexander Sirius started. It can be said that their fight is only an opening act for Hiina and Alex.
Kenshin and Ray Adams fought quite hard. Even though Kenshin was exhausted, he still has his Sword Intent. Ray Adams found it really troublesome, and he can't confront him head-on with that. They fought for an hour, Kenshin used his Sword Intent to make Ray Adams did many unnecessary movements to wear him out. At first, Kenshin was the only one who exhausted, and then Ray Adams slowly get exhausted. Finally, Kenshin took that chance and finished the match. If Ray Adams took a risk and attacked Kenshin continuously, he will be the winner. Unfortunately, his battle experiences seems a bit shallow.
Finally, the final that everyone expecting has come. Because so many flights took place today, the sky has become orange, and the sun was almost set. But it still didn't lower the spectators' expectations.
The battle between the favored one in her generation with the mysterious person that suddenly comes to their town is just about to begin.
Alex entered the arena slowly while basking on the orange sky. He looked at Nakagawa Hiina's beautiful and aloof expression.
"I'm still holding back in the preliminary round. Don't expect me going easy on you. This time, I will show you that I can defeat you easily" Said Hiina while observing Alex's expression.
"No way. You can't beat me" Alex smiled at her.
"Hmph. Then, Let's have a bet" She said
"A bet?" Alex was surprised. He never thought that she would propose something like this.
"Yes. If I defeat you, You need to tell who you are and which family you are from." Hiina said
"And if I win?" Alex asked.
"If you win..." Hiina is thinking about that at the moment.
"Oi oi, you are seriously thinking about that just now..." Alex facepalmed.
"It...it's because I'm going to win." Hiina said with a definite tone.
"There's no way I'm going to agree with the bet even If I know that I will win" Alex sighed, what is the problem with this girl.
"Then, If you win, you can ask one thing from me."
"One thing?" Alex looked at her face and her body and sighed in disappointment. "Not interested."
"You!" She also understands the meaning in Alex's eyes. Even If she is going to reject that kind of request, at least show her some appreciation instead of giving the look of a disappointment on her body. She also has her pride as the 'Goddess' of Limewatch Town.
"Even if you are that attractive, I'm not going to let my lust take over my head, let my backer settle it for me and get you as my woman." Alex said while thinking inwardly. 'Besides, the reward from the system is more tempting than you.'
"Hmph!" She heard the 'Backer' in his words, and she thought that it is indeed he has a backer that strong enough to make her become his woman forcefully. She never thought that Alex purposely misled her.
"Are you done? I prefer to finish this as soon as possible." Alex said without any expression.
"You!" She looked at him hatefully, 'What do you mean by that? Do you mean that I'm not worth your time?'
She then glared at the referee. The referee also know her meaning.
"Cough...Match Start!"
"Desolation" Because of Alex's constant provocation, she immediately released her 'Desolation'.
"Desolation" Alex also used the same move like her. Each of his illusory swords targets her illusory swords.
Seeing that it wasn't effective on him, she decided to use another move that he has not seen before. "Pentagram Sword"
She cut him five times and make a pentagram from it. She starts to cut him from his right foot to his head, then to his left foot, continue toward his right hand, then to his left hand, and back to his right foot, making it a perfect pentagram.
In the arena, Alex was seen like she just cut him, but before long, he disappeared.
"Afterimage?" She looked at his shadow that soon disappeared.
"That's right." Alex suddenly appeared on her back.
Just after she noticed him on her back, she immediately turned back, but before that happen, She felt the force on her back.
"Puah!" She spat some blood, Alex kicked her on her back and blown her away. She immediately stabilizes herself.
"Desolation" She used another 'Desolation' to buy her time to stabilize herself.
Alex prepared himself, This time he is going to finish this as soon as possible. He is planning to use the 'Five Strikes'...It should be 'Six Strikes' now, right? Whatever.
"First Strike" He cut the first swords, the second sword, the third sword, until the fifth sword, He finally recharged the Strikes. This is the flaw of Five...Six Strikes. He can't immediately use the Sixth Strike, and he needs to do it from the First Strike. After all, The Sword Art multiplies the strength from the previous strike.
Now that he finished his recharge, he just needs to release the Sixth Strike and finished her in one sweep. He jumped forward and, "Sixth Strike."
Nakagawa Hiina has stabilized herself. She used another sword art. "Don't underestimate me!"
And surprisingly, Alex was the one who got blown away. He looked at the spark of lightning that surrounds her, especially her sword.
"You force me to use this. This is the one and only Mid Profound Tier skill in this town. Now you have seen it, and you can proudly lose" She jumped toward Alex and swing it again. Lightning and Sword Intent started covering her sword as she swings her sword. "Cleaving Edge"
"Sixth Strike!"
*Clang*
Alex was blown away once again this time, he is flying toward the arena wall. But before he crashed on the wall, He steps on the air, thus killing his momentum and stop him. "That was dangerous just now."
It seems that he needs to wear her off first. He is planning to use his 'Fleeting Step' to continuously dodge her and after she is exhausted. He will then counter-attack.
But noticing his intent, Nakagawa Hiina didn't let him do what he wants. "You are going nowhere, Desolation."
Five swords appeared and surrounded him to keep him in his position as she used her Lightning element to boost her speed and close their distance.
"Tch!" Alex clicked his tongue, it seems that he didn't have any choice. He raised his sword, "Desolation."
The Five swords immediately intercept Hiina's Desolation. But this time, his swords pierced and destroyed Hiina's Desolation easily. Then, they made their way toward Hiina. Hiina was too shocked about this, she thought that the swords would destroy each other. But she never thought that her 'Desolation' would be destroyed easily by his 'Desolation'. And he learned 'Desolation' from watching her and the other Nakagawas.
The swords took her by surprise, She immediately destroyed them. "Cleaving Edge"
But, destroying Alex's Desolation is easier said than done. Because this time, Alex clad them with His Sword Intent. That is the reason why his Desolation managed to crush her Desolation easily.
She swings her sword, she thought that Alex's Desolation would be destroyed easily by her 'Cleaving Edge' along with her Thunder element and Sword Intent. But it took every ounce of her strength before she finally managed to destroy it.
He took this chance to close his gap with Hiina. He swings his sword as he covered it with his Sword Intent. "Sixth Slash"
"Cleaving Edge" After destroying his 'Desolation', Hiina immediately used her 'Cleaving Edge once again to block Alex's Sixth Slash. But this time, his attack contained his Sword Intent, and she also wasn't fully prepared for it.
"So strong, is this his true power?" Hiina is trying to hold out, but it is futile. She holds out for a few seconds before Alex overpowered her and blew her sword away.
"I win" Alex said calmly.
"Is that your true power?" Hiina looked at him fiercely.
Alex didn't answer her. Instead, he changed the topic. "Do you relieve that you don't need to do 'One' thing for me?"
"You! No way! You beast! Lecher! Pervert!" Hiina shouted.
"Eh...me? I'm not a beast, I'm human. I'm not lecher, I didn't even say anything lewd, you are the one thought like that. As for Pervert...only as a husband" Alex corrected all of her curse on him.
"You!" Hiina was speechless, It's as he said, he is not a beast, a lecher, or a pervert... But in her mind right now is only filled all the bad things about him. She grumbled over that as she walked away from the arena.
Alex only shrugged his shoulder. When he turned back and starting to walk, an elder appeared in front of him. "I'm welcome you to Heavenly Sword Sect."
...
Just a few minutes ago, when Alex revealed his sword intent.
Conn Kindellan immediately stood up. "Sword Intent. He hides his Sword Intent all this time, and he can send his Sword Intent flying. He is just one step away before he turned his Sword Intent to a domain, and become a Sword Grandmaster!"
There are seven stages of Sword user. Sword Practitioner, Sword Master, Sword Grandmaster, Sword King, Sword Emperor, Sword Saint, and Sword God. Even though their name is close to the cultivation stage, each stage is vastly different.
Someone who has condensed their Sword Intent is called a Sword Master. Usually, a new Sword Master can only clad their Sword Intent in their sword, and it might be able to go along with a Close Range Sword Art. But, it was impossible for the newborn Sword Master to fuse their Sword Intent and send them flying, like a Sword Wave or just like the 'Desolation'. It was only for someone close to Sword Grandmaster that can do that. The difference might not be big, but the difficulty of doing it is huge. It usually took many years of experience before they can do that.
For example, the founder of Heavenly Sword Sect is only a Sword King, and now there is only Peak Sword Grandmaster left in the Heavenly Sword Sect. Alex is still 20 years old, and he is only one step away from Sword Grandmaster. He will surpass the founder of Heavenly Sword Sect, he might become a Sword Emperor if not Sword Saint.
