Arch-Sabre: The Inheritor of The Blade

Chapter 18: One vs One vs One

------------------------------- Evans -------------------------------

"THE BATTLE START NOW!!"

Right after Carl and Hana commenced the battle, Ace and Zyon sprint to the centre of the stage but Quinn wasn't moving from his spot yet. It's okay, that may be just the right strategy. Though it may make him look a little bit spineless. But I believe every action should be considered as battle tactic and none of them should be call as cowardice. That just shows that the strategist is just more cunning and clever.

Ace unsheathes his sword while Zyon already holding his chakram, suddenly perform a great jump before clashing their blades. Both continue striking each other with well display of skill in wielding their own blade.

"Evans, look at Quinn, he starts moving," Elea informed me.

"Maybe he has some plans."

It's possible that he become insecure because of the battle since he doesn't start any moves yet. If the MCs start to say anything about him, he would be embarrassed.

"Shield Skill: Tremor!"

The portion stage where Ace and Zyon is fighting each other are shaking from the activation of Quinn's skill.

"LOOKS LIKE QUICKSILVER HAS ENTER THE BATTLE!!" Carl mentioned.

Ace and Zyon start dashing to Quinn's direction.

"That's it, come at me..." Quinn muttered but still can be recorded by the drones.

Quinn standing in calm manner as if everything is moving as he planned. He was quite nervous before the battle though. He draws his sword from the scabbard. Looks like he will be using his sword skill.

"Sword skill: Sword of Nocturnal!"

Unexpectedly, a magical black dome appeared out of nowhere enveloping area of the stages with Ace, Zyon, and Quinn himself. We can't see what happening on the stage but luckily the drones have a function to see through the magic barrier ability. The lighting in the dome is dark as if it were night-time. There were even view of stars and moon inside it. Such beautiful magic. I think this kind of magic uses quite a considerable amount of magical energy too. We can hear their voices inside the dome since one of the drones was also trapped inside it.

"What the hell? Is it night already?" Zyon said while wondrously looking at his surroundings.

"An illusion-barrier magic, this is beautiful and grand, I wonder what weapon you are actually using, a skill which is not an ultimate skill but able to pull such magnificent magic," Ace said as he is genuinely impressed.

"If you both have something to say, how about we end this quick!" Quinn proposed.

"Agreed, even though I can't see you well, I still can sense you there, Quicksilver!" Zyon said as he confirmed Quinn's location.

"I don't want to team up with Zen but he's true, you are the main obstacle right now." Ace agreeing.

The sound of swords clattering appeared as we see that they are striking each other but...

"I didn't know there were someone this good at using sword other than Ace in this academy!" Zyon praised.

"Your weapon is not a sword huh, Quicksilver? Wait..." Ace realised something in the midst of clashing.

Quinn wasn't visible in the dome. Ace and Zyon were just fighting each other. Ace take a jump backwards. Maybe he figured that the one he is fighting is not Quinn.

"Running now huh! I won't let you!" Zyon rambled while throwing his chakram towards Ace.

"Chakram skill: Water wheel!"
