'Fuck!'

I cursed and broke my seals; the rapier appeared in my hand and swung at fucking vermin, with all the fury in my heart.

Pachack!

I split it in two and turned to the man who had appeared in front of me.

He is a handsome man who looks to be in his late twenties, with long red hair and a single blue horn middle of his head. His blue eyes are big with sparkly shine in them, but there is no warmth in them, only coldness.

"I have to say, your stealth method is very good. I had passed so closely, but wasn't able to sense you at all," he said, impressed.

"Thank you, Sky Sovereign," I said as I collected the body of vermin and put it into my storage.

"Now hand over everything you have and don't try to hide anything. I will kill you. If you do that," he said with a smile, not leaving his face.

I opened my mouth and closed it, seeing the expression on his face, and took out the storage ring on my finger and looked at him with an unwilling expression as I took out another ring, hidden in my toes and third pin, hidden in my back.

I sent all three storage devices toward him, which he quickly caught.

"That tool too; it has some value," he said. I looked at it unwillingly and sent the tool toward him.

"You have good things in your storage; it is the best haul, I got today," he said as he looked at my storage rings. "Thank you, Sky Sovereigns," I replied, forcefully keeping my voice polite.

"You are a polite one. So, I will give you a quick death!" he said and suddenly appeared in front of me and swung his saber at me, intending to decapitate me.

It's so sudden, it couldn't help but surprise me.

There is nothing on his face said, that he would attack me. I had not even sensed the killing intent. This is not because he is very good at hiding; I don't think there is such a complex reason behind it.

The answer is simple; he considered me an ant and one didn't show a killing intent when stomping on it.

There is only a sick pleasure.

CLANNNNNG!

The sword didn't cut my neck as he had expected. Instead, it stopped well before that by the invisible shield.

The clash was a sledgehammer to me; it lit my shield, and I readied myself for the force that sent me back like a ragged doll.

Hun!

That force came instantly, but it didn't send me back like a ragged doll. It only sent me two steps back; it would have been one step. If I hadn't been preparing myself for wrecking the ball, but got a minor shove instead.

A surprise appeared on my face; the same as the one that is on his face.

"Well, aren't you full of surprise," he said and grinned, but there was a not hint of pleasure in it. Instead, a deep anger.

"My organization had placed a mark on me. If you kill me; my organization won't stop, till it kills you well," I threatened.

I tried politeness, and it didn't work. I am now trying to threaten him. It might work.

I immediately crossed that thought when I looked at the grin on the bastard's lips getting bigger.

"I will kill you. Even if you belong to Alkaz or Elansor," he said, and a powerful aura blasted out of him, and he attacked again.

He is a Sky Sovereign. An Initial one, but still a Sky Sovereign.

I am not a match for him, and the earlier defense had genuinely shocked me, but I quickly found the reason. There are two exact, one is the new ancient rune formation, and the second is forbidden power.

Working together, they have produced an unexpectedly strong result.

CLANNNNNG!

His saber clashed against my shield harder than before, but this time, I was prepared and only took a step back, making him even angrier.

"I will break this bloody shield!" he shouted and attacked again, with even more power and speed.

CLANNNNNG!

His saber clashed against my shield once again, and this time, too. I had only taken a step back. His attack was stronger, but my shield had got a sample of his power and a lot of data.

My clone was able to make a few short changes to it; making the defense against him better. Which is not necessarily a good thing, seeing the expressions on his face.

There is a bubbling rage in his eyes.

Seeing that, I know he will not stop till he kills me, and I don't have enough power to kill him or escape. The only thing, I could do against him is to defend, which isn't enough to survive.

It looked at me with enough rage to burn my soul before attacking again.

CLANNNNNG CLANNNNNG CLANNNNNG!

I defended, but it attacked again and again, increasing the power with each attack. It wants to break the shields and destroy them, but all his attacks are doing is lighting them up and pushing me back.

With the power of his attacks increasing, I am moving back more and more. From one step to two steps to three steps and more.

It is not making him happy, instead angry at his inability to destroy the shield.

Hun!

Suddenly, he disappeared, and I felt all the hair on my neck rising. I didn't have to turn to look to know that he had appeared behind me, and my shield wasn't fast enough to reach there before he hacked my neck.

CLANNNNNG!

His saber stopped, and another shield became visible while he looked at me with shock.

"I thought you would try to destroy the first shield, but it seemed like, I underestimated the weakling like you too much."

"Understanding you are not strong enough to destroy my shield, you had gone for my life. Maybe I shouldn't have been surprised; I should have expected it from the filthy looter like you," I taunted.

"You bastard. I will kill you!" he roared, and the bright red aura blasted from his body like an inferno.

I shouldn't have done that, but I need to make him angry till he loses the reason. It comes with huge risks, but it is the only way; I might be able to survive against him.

CLANNNNNG!

He attacked again, and his fiery saber clashed against my shield. Attacking it with the massive inheritance, energy with the intention burn the shield to ashes, but the opposite had happened.

My shield had sucked away all his inheritance energies and processed them before using it to fortify its defenses.

"As I had said, a weakling. It is only why, you targeted us Earth Sovereigns. You are too weak to fight against those of your level, much less loot them," I mocked, making him even angry.

I seemed to hit the nerve as he shook in rage. Seeing that, I decided to not speak further, kept the words to use later.

There is no need to mock him all at once; I will need him to sustain this anger and those words will be quite useful.
