Chapter 56 Clash Of Warriors

Her face displayed traces of shock, surprise and apprehension.

Looking at Captain Crimson eye who was now covered with a red crimson aura around him as opposed to her dim white aura, she muttered with a scowl on her face "You are a monster".

"Yes…. " Captain Crimson swung his sword in an attempt to decapitate her head before completing his sentence "I am".

However...

Knight Camille had already anticipated his movement and bent her head sideways before bending down and sweeping her sword over at Captain Crimson eye's waist with one swift motion.

"SHHIIINNNGG!!"

Unfortunately, Captain Crimson eye was fast enough to react and block the attack with his sword before he immediately launched his attack.

"CLAANNGG!! CCLLAANNGG!!!"

Each time their swords clashed, Knight Camille moved backwards with Captain Crimson eye advancing, further showing their differences in strength and causing Knight Camille to grit her teeth in frustration.

Although she couldn't tell the Captain Strength, she knew that he was much stronger than her due to the way he swung his sword lightly against hers which was filled with the intent to kill.

He was playing with her and wanted to drive her into a corner before disarming her.

He was strong!!

She couldn't disagree with that. But he made a very big mistake.....

And that was underestimating a royal guard of the Endossa empire.

Lifting her right foot as she channelled her mana into her right leg, Knight Camille instantly struck the floorboard below her.

"BANNING!!!"

Bits and pieces of wood and dust flew around blinding and covering the sight of everybody present and Knight Camille quietly fell down the hole she had intentionally formed.

"Damn it!!" Captain Crimson eye cursed out loud as saw the medium-sized hole in front of him with Knight Camille nowhere to be found.

Turning his head to Jerry, he said "Take care of the Prince for me. I will be taking care of this myself"

Jerry nodded his head in understanding and responded "No worries Captain, good luck".

Captain Crimson eye grinned as he replied "Against an opponent like this, I don't need to waste lady Luck's time".

Turning towards Prince Wyatt who was by the side with Mad John, he said "I will be back soon Prince Wyatt".

Prince Wyatt nodded his head and watched as the Captain jumped down the hole, quickly chasing after Knight Camille.

"Ahem…." Jerry coughed as he attempted to attract the Prince's attention "Can I lead you to a comfortable room so that you can rest there until the Captain is done".

Looking at the man's eyes Prince Wyatt could see the contempt in his eyes, however, he didn't have the time or feel any need to address it.

"No need, I will be following them" Prince Wyatt said as he turned towards Mad John who was still looking at him with wide eyes "Come on, let's go, we can't let her escape".

Mad John merely nodded his head non-chantant even though his brain was still trying to process how the Prince was still standing in front of him after he had fallen into the jaws of a Tiger Whale.

What happened to the Tiger Whale?

How did the Prince survive?

How is he here?

He wanted to know the answers to all those questions but now didn't seem like the right time to make inquiries.

"Ahem!! I don't think that the Captain would like it if you interfere or are put in harm's way due to your own error" Jerry said, blocking their path as he looked at the both of them.

"Then if it's like that, I will take full responsibility for it and handle it the way I see fit. After all, I have just been betrayed by my Guardian knight, don't you think that I have the right to be there when she dies" Prince Wyatt said as he sized up Jerry with his eyes.

The middle-aged man looked as though he was the same as Mad John, but he doubted it as he could feel something different about him.

It was the same feeling that he felt from Knight Camille and Captain Crimson eye. And after confirming what it was, he knew what he was currently feeling.

Mana…. The magical energy flowing out from Jerry's body proved to him that the man in front of him was an ascendant.

Although Prince Wyatt didn't know his strength, he wasn't fazed by it as there was something much more important that he needed to take care of currently.

Seeing Jerry still standing and blocking his way, he continued "Do you have a problem with that?".

Jerry gritted his teeth before he bowed his head down in frustration and said "No, I don't. In fact, I will lead you to them".

Turning around and walking forward without waiting for Prince Wyatt's response, he said "By the looks of things, Knight Camille might have gone to the upper deck to fight the Captain in an open space since her movement was restricted here with the Captain having the upper hand".

"Alright" Prince Wyatt responded as he followed behind Jerry with Mad John following beside him "Aren't you afraid that she might win against your Captain or find a way to overpower him?"

Jerry looked back at Prince Wyatt from the corner of his eyes with a grin "Are you stating that your Guardian Knight is somehow superior to my Captain, Prince Wyatt?".

"No" Prince Wyatt shook his head and responded " I am just saying that he looks as though he is underestimating his opponent".

Silence sipped into the conversation as both parties walked forward with only the sound of their footsteps making their way to their ears.

"I understand and appreciate your concern however, I think that we should head up and watch the fight first before you can give your opinion" Jerry said, breaking the silence that was beginning to crawl under the skin of Mad John who could feel the tension in the air.

"Maybe this might be a lesson where you can see and experience the strength of the Captain of the Crimson black-eye crew and know that your Guardian Knight never stood a chance against his blade" Jerry added as a wide grin stretched across his face.

"I hope so too" Prince Wyatt replied, letting the silence prevail in the atmosphere soon after.

….......

"SHINGGG!! CLANNNGGG!!"

"CLANGGGG!! CLANGGG!!!"

Sparks appeared as blades clashed against blades bringing together the sound of heavy metal clashing against one another.

"Hahhh!! Hahhh!!!" Knight Camille breathed out loudly while looking at her hands that were shivering from each clash she stroked her sword against Captain Crimson eye's sword.

"Give up! Before I make you incapable of doing so" Captain Crimson eye said.

"I am not done yet" Knight Camille replied as she stood up straight and pointed the tip of her sword at him.

"The only reason that you are still standing is because of that armour of yours. A few more swings are all I need to break it apart" Captain Crimson eye responded.

Knight Camille's lip morphed into a smirk as she said "You can tr....."

Knight Camille's eyes widened as she blocked a sword covered with a blazing red crimson aura that instantly appeared beside her.
