Capítulo 618: Zarkha
The weapons clashed and the two n is looking at each other amidst the sparks of fire.
In that mont, it was like his brain is working on overdrive.
And he is analysing the person in front of him.
The distance between them right now is only a few feet.
Because they clashed.
And they did not hook.
But the mont their weapons clash, Aeryon felt like everything slowed down around him
This is not a foreign feeling for him. He experienced this many tis when he was fighting the battlefield.
He could feel everything around him, like he was attuned to it. And in that mont, he made quick assessnt of this person strength
Chadha did not send a nobody.
Even though Aeryon did not recognize who this is and this person did not say his na and imdiately attack him, he acknowledges that the person that Chadha sent to attack and challenge him is not so small fry.
“This person strength slightly overpowers ”
“But is not quite Belarion level” And then it was like the colours of the world once again appears and Aeryon is back to the normal ti.
“Hoo” he guided his horse to circle again and attack.
It is the sa for that person. There is a grin on his face, and they clashed once again
Another clash.
And the intensity is harder, the attack is faster
Aeryon feel it.
And his enemy could also feel it
And his enemy is smiling
The soldier on both sides is just looking.
At first, they could see the spear and the glaive clashing with each other.
But in just a few monts, the clash becos faster.
And faster.
And faster.
And then before they know it, they could only see flashes.
Only sparks of fire to signify that the two weapons clashed with each other.
But so warriors who have reached a certain level could see it clearly.
Their eyes narrow.
“Who is this warrior? How could such a warrior is unknown!”
this is the question in the minds of everyone. The fact that such a person could easily contend with tehri Khan, this kind of talent should not be an unknown person.
Aeryon on the other hand is using all of his active skills. But this person no matter how he chose to attack, could accept it
“But he is faltering”
Clang!
They separated from each other and then they circled each other with their horse, the dust from the ground rises up and even though it is night, tonight there is no cloud in the sky, the moonlight illuminates the plains like it is a different shade of the sun.
Illuminating the battle between these two people. And everyone could see the sparks and the dust
Aeryon feels his finger sting. But he notices that the person hand is also trembling
He smiles
..
When one is in a duel like this everything is tuned out
In the eyes of these two n, nothing exists other than the enemy in front of them
They circle each other.
Right now, if Kashoger orders a rain of arrows they could kil this person but at the sa ti there is a high chance of also shooting their own Khan.
Even Kashoger did not dare give such an order.
And this person, this assassin knows it and even though they were circling each other, he made that he is close to the Khan
One might posit, then why not just use one archer and shoot an arrow toward him. But warriors like this could easily deflect arrows and what if the arrow is reflected toward the Khan?
No archers would dare to bear that bla.
Even if he gives reason like he did not intend to attack the Khan, if such a thing happens, nobody will care about reason.
Of course, there is one hundred guards that is following Aeryon.
If Aeryon wanted to, he could order these one hundred n to surround this one man and the battle would end here.
The killing attack was the flying weapon.
However, Aeryon could fell that even if one hundred n surrounded this man, this man could escape.
He might not be able to kill one hundred n alone.…but escape…it is sothing Aeryon believes this man could do.
In that brief clash, Aeryon could feel the ease at which he dodges his thod.
This kind of warrior may not be as strong as Belarion, and he could not raid one hundred people alone
But escaping them?
Aeryon had a weird feeling that this person could really escape the encirclent of one hundred people.
It is almost like this person is as light as air yet when he attacks it is as heavy as a mountain. But there is this sharpness and lightness that Aeryon could not yet put into place.
He needs to clash a few more tis to get a feel for this person.
It is hard to describe this person ability.
As they are circling each other with their horses, Aeryon talk with him.
The night as the backdrop, the scene truly looks like sothing that cos out from a story that is told on the fireplace
“Who are you? I have seen the portrait of many heroes in the west, but your portrait never reached my tent. Soone with your skill, you should not be unknown”
The man looks at Aeryon and smiles
This is the first ti Aeryon could see this man clearly. Bulky and muscly. That was his first impression. But now that he is closer, he could see more clearly
His muscle is packed. Hence, the explosive power but looking at his feet there is also sign of training there.
Aeryon did not yet see his jumping ability but with just a glance he could tell that this person could jump high
“Zarkha” the man spoke and Aeryon eyes narrows
“You’re the assassin!”
The mont this na is uttered those warriors clench their weapon. The arrows trained on him beco more intent
But Zarkha treated like none of these are present.
Zarkha the Assassin of the Sand. This is the title of Zarkha.
No wonder nobody recognizes him. This Zarkha is not a native of Southern Great Steppe. This is Zarkha from the Western Great Steppe.
Sandy desert, cals and scorpions. This is what most Steppe people of other regions thinks of the Western Great Steppe
Zarkha is a famous na or more accurately infamous na
He is one of the famous assassins there.
People called him the Assassin of the Sand because he hides in the sand and appears suddenly ad kill you before you could even notice he was there
His most famous achievent is killing the father of one of the most influential chief in the Western Great Steppe.
This killing then created a massacre where the chief of that tribe went to war with another tribe and once, he won, he massacres everyone in that tribe, the sandy desert turns red with blood that it almost like a new river had been ford
After that Zarkha disappeared but his deed is spoken of.
For the people of the Western Great Steppe, many people have grudges against him
He is an insignificant character that beco significant because of what happens afterwards. But regardless, his killing ability is not sothing that should be underestimated
“I heard your thod always involves yourself hiding in the sand and then jumping out from the sand and kill your enemies. Why didn’t you do that instead of charging ?”
Zarkha only laughed at this
“I only did that once.” He chuckles and then added
“Don’t believe everything you heard about . Most of it is just hearsay and speculation”
Aeryon did not understand this man. Before, he seems to want to kill him. Now, he is speaking with him and did not have any urgency
His motive is questionable. Or is he leading him to think like that?
“Did Chadha order you to kill ?”
Zarka shook his head
“I don’t know. I just got an offer for your head.”
“You did not seem to intend to take my head. I know you have more of that flying weapon in your sleeve. You could have throws it toward . It is almost like you….” Aeryon did not know how to explain it.
“You are a tough rock to mine. Maybe I changed my mind”
But then before Aeryon could even have ti to said anything, the spear on Zarkha hand moves.
Thrusting forward, the air is tearing, the wind is howling, like a flash of light, piercing through space
It was fast and full of splendour.
In an instant, the horse and the man seems to have reached harmony, the horse galloped, the spear thrusted forward, distance of several ter crossed in an instant and the thrust ca toward Aeryon
It almost seems like it is impossible to deflect or defend.
A very fast thrust, a very fast spear.
Aeryon smiles.
Since he had entered the battlefield, there were only a few tis Aeryon had to duel with all of his concentration focused on one person.
And many of those he fought rarely have such a spear attack this fast. Most of the people that fight him uses spears and sabres.
He had seen fast and swift sabre attack before.
But spear?
Most of them were also very fast.
But rarely one that is this fast.
And swift.
Almost like a flash of light that suddenly appears and would disappear if you do not pay attention
“It almost like Burchu spear”
