The Emissary Of The Night Shadow
the imperial weapon awakening.

Rito gulped after seeing the many guards who had now surrounded him. His heart skipped a beat in panic, but Rito did not reveal it through expression.

He could hide his fear and panic at the moment so that the enemy would not think that he was being suppressed.

"Who are you?! Who sent you to this place?!" One of the guards asked Rito a question. He brandished the tip of the sword at Rito from a distance of two meters.

Rito just flinching. His eyes twitched in search of the noble who had still escaped his attack.

"How dare you ignore me!" The same guard who asked Rito a question a moment ago was struck with emotion and jumped up with his sword. Rito who saw that instantly put up sturdy horses, blocking the sword attack from the guard easily.

The guard bounced around and knocked down some of his comrades behind him. Seeing that, Rito's eyes widened in disbelief. Though he only poured a little mana on his sword, but his attack had already become that strong.

"I wonder how great an imperial weapon would be if it had been resurrected." Rito muttered while smiling satisfiedly.

The vanguard guard who surrounded him slightly shrieked looking at Rito smiling. It is implied that they think about Rito, who is a psychopathic teenager, when he smiles not because of it.

"Damn it, how could he smile when surrounded by dozens of guards like this?" One of the other guards started to retreat. His feet trembled slightly from fear.

Rito deliberately exuded a hint of killing intent aura to suppress their courage.

"It's a good thing I learned this technique also from the teacher." Rito muttered again. The smile on his face widened even more, making the guards even more frightened as well.

"What's this commotion?" There was a heavy hoarse voice coming from within the crowd. Rito's smile faded as his instincts said that something would come from the sound.

"Are you guys scared of skinny losers like that kid?" The voice again sounded accompanied by the appearance of a man with a large height. His muscles were not very big, but Rito could feel the energy condensing around him.

"Hey, kid. Want to duel with me?"

An arrogant voice sounded from the figure of a guard.

"Damn, come one more? And this time I think he's stronger than me. When will they arrive like this?" Rito muttered while putting on a slight expression of panic. However, Rito soon gets rid of the unpleasant mimic.

"You I'll give you three chances of attack. If your attack can scratch me in three attacks, then I'll give you the woman over there. I know your goal here is to save the girl. But it's a different story that you can't scratch me in three attacks. I'm going to be serious against you, how? Want to duel with me?" The guard spoke while looking down at Rito while pointing at a dark room not far from him.

Rito did not answer. He was silent for a while to weigh the best options in his current situation. The most important question is how does the guard know the purpose of Rito being here?

"All right, I'll take the duel."

Not without reason Rito received a duel that was certain the chance to win was almost impossible. The reason Rito accepted this duel was because Rito wanted to awaken his sword through a real life and death experience.

"Then let's start." Said the guard with a relaxed expression.

The first attack failed. Rito tried to attack him again but this time not the vital point of the opponent, but rather attacked the blind spot of the opponent. But again Rito attacks can be repelled easily.

On the third occasion, Rito tried his hardest to force his body to its threshold, but due to the difference in strength again Rito's attack was unable to scratch the skin of the guard.

"Well, since it's been three attacks and you can't scratch me, then I'll kill you." The guard said with his cruel eyes and a smile on his face.

Rito felt desperate because of the three attacks he launched none of his attacks could scratch the body of the guard.

Rito was deep in thought, worried that he would die on this mission who would look after and protect his sister when in trouble?

As despair haunted his mind, Gladius, the sword that Rito was currently wielding shone, making one room glow brightly. When the people opened their eyes, two mana shields appeared surrounding Rito.

"Huh?! What the fuck is that useless little shield? Hey boy, you think it'll be useful in stopping my attack?"

With his arrogance the guard underestimated Rito without knowing what would happen to him.

When people are confused by what happened before, Rito is more confused because his body that has been battered instantly becomes better than before. Rito was even more confused with the shield hovering around him, he felt he could control the floating shield freely. This is in favor of Rito who is in a state of siege, crossed his cunning mind in the mind of Rito.

'Isn't this how I can win with a higher chance?' Rito smiled faintly when he thought about it

"Well let's start round two." Said Rito with an arrogant face that made the guard feel annoyed.

"Cih Already wanted to be a corpse was still just arrogant. I'll grant you your wish to die."

With an annoyed look on his face, the guard immediately attacked Rito seriously.

Seeing the guard attacking with a hardened face, Rito directly pointed his shield towards the sword to block the guard's attack. When his attack was blocked, Rito immediately swung his sword to deliver an attack that injured the guard.

Rito's sword pierced right in the stomach, making the man with the huge body spit out a mouthful of blood from his mouth.

"Basin' a fucking boy." The guard growled in annoyance with his already hoarse-sounding voice.

"What's up, Guard? Didn't you say you were going to kill me?" Rito looked at the guard with a sinister face. Despite looking so happy outside, Rito still thinks where Alesha and Ballut are. There was no way they would not hear the commotion that was going on.

"Huh! Act with cocky! Are you looking for two of your partners? Just pray that they don't die." The guard ended the sentence with an echoing laugh.

Hearing that, Rito immediately pulled out his sword that pierced through the stomach. He again stuck the sword into the guard's left chest, hitting the guard's heart.

"When you've defeated all the guards, maybe you'll just find their carcasses."
