Jared waited for a long time, but no sword marionette appeared. He promptly decided to pull the sword out of the rock.
Blinding light streaked before him just as he neared the sword. Another elderly man appeared beside the rock.
Then, the elderly man reached out and pulled the sword out of the rock.
Menacing waves of sword energy burst forth from the sword and rushed toward Jared.
That's too fast!
Jared could barely react in time. He only had time to blink before the explosive sword energy sent him flying back.
Fresh, bloody wounds appeared on his body.
His Dragonslayer Sword greedily absorbed the massive amount of sword energy all this time. However, Jared noticed that the intensity of the sword energy did not decrease at all.
“Demon's Strike!”
The elderly man suddenly brought his sword down on Jared amid a flurry of flying rocks and swirling leaves. It was a scene straight out of doomsday.
“Is that the demonic sword?” Jared mumbled in amazement.
He wondered about the identity of the elderly man wielding the legendary weapon.
A loud bellow accompanied the old man's strike. Suddenly, black mist emerged from the sword and morphed into human form.
The newcomer sported a black cloak and exuded a deadly aura.
Meanwhile, the elderly man coughed out a mouthful of blood and visibly weakened before Jared's eyes. He leaned against the rock in exhaustion.
“Who are you?” Jared interrogated the cloak-wearing figure.
The figure lifted the hood of his cloak, revealing a weathered, wrinkled complexion.
Jared was shocked to discover that the cloak-clad figure was the spitting image of the elderly, sword-wielding man.
A second before lunging at Jared, the figure muttered, “I've missed the taste of human blood...”
