Arch-Sabre: The Inheritor of The Blade

Chapter 24: Walking Disaster

I still in disbelief. Atroxia, is in my hand. I actually got a sacred blade.

"You are the Arch-Sabre, right? A contestant from the Hero Armament Championship. I will go straight to the point, as a sacred blade wielder, right now, I'm sure you can feel a different sensation from usual."

"True," I replied.

"That's the power of every sacred blade, only a chosen wielder can feel the sensation, but I will explain this later, I want you to discover the power of Atroxia. Atroxia is one of the most mysterious blades of all but, I know you can do it. Take this skill chip and install it in your SACRED device, its skill name is Levitate. You can levitate with this skill, for 30 minutes. Let's kill that dragon."

He gives me the skill chip and go back to fight the dragon. I insert the chip in a skill slot on my sacred device. After installing the program, the chip is now empty, so I just discard it.

"Evans... is that really..." Elea talk with her faint voice.

"I don't know yet, but I think so..." I answered to her.

Once again, I tried to lift the rubbles on Elea's leg and unexpectedly, I am able to lift it. I think my physical strength got multiplied by a huge difference than before. I carried Elea in my arms. Her legs are severely injured to the level I couldn't bear to watch it.

"Activate Levitate."

[Levitate(A-rank): Grants user the ability to levitate and move freely on the air for 30 minutes.]

Apparently, levitate is an A-rank skill that I have ever used in my life for the first time. A second after activation, I start floating and the able to move my body on the air is natural as I want to walk. I moved outside the arena in a location of people that injured are being treated. Lilith is there, healing most of the wounded by a strange power.

"Lilith!"

"Evans!? Oh my god!! What happened to Princess!" Lilith shocked as she saw Elea's crushed leg.

"Lilith, can you heal Elea?" I asked.

"Oh my god, this is too much... I'm not sure..."

"Please, we have no time!"

"I will do what I can, lay her down right there."

I put Elea down on the spot Lilith pointed to me. While healing Elea, Lilith looks at me.

"What is that sword Evans?"

"This? I am not sure either. Richard says it is one of the sacred blades, named Atroxia."

"That is Atroxia?" Lilith shocked.

"Yeah."

Looking at the sabre, it's had a quite threatening design, the aura it's unleashing is clearly different from any of sword I have ever wield, but it has the same feeling when I hold my bow, the power rise by my emotional state.

"I have to go."

"Alright, take care of yourself."

"Got it."

I fly back into the arena, seeing Crysdraga is still rampaging and most of the dragon-slayer are critically injured. Prince Richard is panting hardly. I take a deep breath. I notice that my body are somehow improving itself, I feel so calm and currently at my top form. My senses are so sharp that I can almost focus to everything at my surrounding to a certain extent.

"I will get you, you damned dragon. Here goes."

I storm directly to the rampaging dragon, swing the Atroxia to the right shoulder. Without wasting time, I get behind its neck while smashing its crystals at the same time by spinning my body and the sword. My movement are incredibly precise and connected to each of strike I landed upon Crysdraga. The vicious dragon did try to pound me as I move but my reflex is significantly better that usual making every single of its attack are utterly useless against me. While I am doing the attack, some of the dragon slayer watch me in complete awe. They start to talk to themselves.
