A Demon Lord’S Obsession novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164: After Effects

I jumped up forcing my sword down and as the blade hit his I twisted my body turning and hitting the bottom of his blade. Thought a slight shake could be witnessed within his grip, he still held it high ready to continue.

Hugh: “I didn’t expect to have such an interesting fight, I can’t remember the last time I had to use some technique..”

“Well a mercenary may be a dying breed, but I still have to train and fight to survive.”

Hugh: “Makes sense, no war means no business, let me guess you’re more of a bodyguard than a mercenary.?”

We both shared some strikes and backed away. A short laugh in the back of my mind caused me to speak.

Hugh: “If you’re going to fight to survive anyway, why not work for me.?”

“Ha, like hell. I’m still fighting for your position so maybe you should worry about defeating me instead of saying stupid stuff.”

He lunged forward and I turned my body to the side.

His head turned to me with his sword ready.

Hugh: “Alright.”

Even though he was strong, every fortress has a flaw and once it was open my sword knocked his out of his hand. My foot kicked his side and he was about to block the attack with his arm but he didn’t make it in time. My blade pointed toward him. His blade which was in the air landed a ways away.

He was looking at the ground.

Hugh: “Now that your defeated, why not tell me your name.?”

“What’s the point if you're just going to kill me..?”

His eyes moved toward mine.

I relaxed my body and rested the sword on my shoulder.

Hugh: “Well I could kill you, save me the time, but you still haven't answered my questions..”

He had a short sigh.

“Fine, my name is Red Nova.”

Hugh: “Red, like your hair..?”

Red: “Yes, like my hair.”

He got a little snippy and turned his head down.

Red: “So get on with whatever proposal you were talking about.“

Hugh: “You showed promise come work under me..”

He looked at me.

Red: “Hah, if you want me to be a soldier just kill me off now.”

I leisurely pointed my sword toward him.

Hugh: “That can be arranged but I don’t see the fun in that... it’s not like you’ll be a soldier who stands around guarding the city. You’ll be under my direct orders, aiding me when needed.”

Red: “If you need a maid there are plenty of other applicants.”

Hugh: “I’m not joke...”
