The Darkness Metal Manipulation
Chapter 8's

Night in the city, though the night of the city was very luminous.

In the middle of a large expanse of land surrounded by high walls and buildings that turned back to the field.

It was seen that two people facing each other were ready to fight, a young man in all black clothes and a black sword was held, another man in his 30s with a burly body and a large sword on his back.

While on the edge of the field many people chatted or were silent to see the two people's fight. They are Zyden and Kenneth who are going to duel.

"The kid's really going against Kenneth. How brave." Men's speech mobbed

"Yes you're right, Kenneth is known as a former S rank adventurer and a man who's crazy at fighting. I don't even want to serve it." Another man replied.

"He looks strong and handsome. Elsa was quiet when Kenneth set her up. You're lucky Elsa." The woman near the mother and the child.

"Yes, you're really lucky"

"He's better than Arnold ya Elsa"

"Haha.."

They all talked and laughed at each other. The person in question is embarrassed.

'I seem to understand a little why Elsa was silent when her father made this gamble. He's the one who benefits the most here and he doesn't seem to mind at all. It's too bad that person named Arnold, is he really as ugly as a goblin until people say so.' Zyden said in his mind.

'But my plan remained the same, romance only blocked my path to complete the mission of the god to me. I won't let anyone get in my way.'

"Well the duel between the former hero of Larkxa city with the young black horse will begin." Called Kene, the man in his 20s with his brown hair announced.

"The rules are simple, whoever cannot continue the fight or give up is the loser. It is forbidden to kill and continue the fight if there is someone who has been considered defeated. Severe punishment for violating. Understood?." Further.

Zydenpun nodded in understanding.

"Ready start." Aba-aba kene's.

The first reaction of the voice was Kenneth swinging his sword after he took the sword from the sheath on his back causing a sickle-shaped wind incision towards Zyden.

Zyden who saw it immediately dodged to the right and darted towards Kenneth after being able to foothold. Kennethpun does not want to lose he immediately went ahead ready to launch an attack.

'Ting.., Ting.., Ting...,'

The sound of metal clashing adorned the swing of the swords from each of the attacks that were launched.

Both of them exerting all their skills resulted in a fierce fight, but it was clear that Zyden was superior in sword skills and with a smaller body and sword than Kenneth it added to his superiority.

Kenneth, knowing that he had not benefited, raised his sword high and swung it to the ground where Zyden stood.

'Boom...'

The sound of an explosion was clearly heard at the training ground, the people watching could only be mute looking at the power of Kenneth's swing and the puff of dust covering the two people.

The little dust in the middle of the field began to disappear, revealing two people standing opposite each other. Kenneth smiled widely while Zyden stood relaxed with his usual facial features.

"You're really great, boy. Your sword skill is indeed an expert skill, if you become my daughter-in-law I will be very happy with it." Kenneth said happily.

"If you beat me, it'll happen." Zyden exclaimed in his cold tone.
