"The outsider? Is this what the underlings of Alsana call themselves now?" The staffer holder called out Silver.
"Underling? He thinks I am working for Alsana."
"Why would you sell humanity like that? That dreams did she offer you for the lives of millions of people?"
"Can you shut up? All this righteous blabber will get you nowhere. Fight me, and tell me all you want after you win." Silver pointed his blade towards his opponent.
A small smile rose by the stranger's face, it was the smile of confidence no doubt. "I guess you don't who I am? I am Erza Millon, the warlord belonging to the land of Uro. You will get beaten to a bloody pulp now." He picked up his iron staff and pointed it right back at this opponent.
"A warlord? This would be fun..."
Without any announcement the fight began, the sword clashed with the iron staff with each other.
"I need to find an opening between his attacks." Silver was fighting a staff user for the first time, so kept on the defensive trying to block each incoming attack from left and right.
Silver pushed himself forward trying to minimize the distance between the two, but the staff user kept pushing him back using wide swings. "He is advantage of his range. But he leaves himself wide open after every swing, I think I can use that."
Silver whiffed himself to the left, and used his leg to throw right towards Erza's face. The other threw it in single swing, Silver kept going back and throwing snow at his opponent which gave him no advantage but he kept repeating it.
"You keep continuing his mockery instead of fighting."
The sentence was followed by a even larger throw of ice; but this when he struck it away; it was not Silver that he saw. A giant fireball came flying through the sky and hit him head on, and sent him flying.
"hehe... I threw the snow for the distraction. And called the fireball back where Alsana was, so he didn't it coming because I never casted it. And, since he was open after his swing it hit him head on."
" That was good, I have to appreciate that. Looks like I have to try a little."
Erza right where he was standing before without a hit on damage on his body. Beside some burnt hair on his head; and he seemed to a little angry now.
"Huh?"
The flurry of attacks kept pushing Silver back, and then between one of his swings; Erza used a thrust attack; unable foresee and parry it Silver took straight to the left shoulder socket.
"Argh..." The strength in the blow was wild, it didn't shake Silver but he could feel the impact in his bones. He jumped and took the maximum gap he could between them.
"That did hurt you right?" Erza called out to him.
"Sure did, I feel like I have broken a bone or two. You sure are strong." The damage was much worse than that, the impact was not single; as the attack had hit multiple times each time pushing the damage further into the body. His left was rendered useless in single hit.
"Want to surrender? I haven't used the full extent of my powers. I will tell you what it is; everytime I strike a enemy body; the impact reaches to them 3 times. Causing damage a different levels of the skin; making the wound much deeper and body part useless."
"It means if I took it to the chest; the chances of survival go to zero."
"I don't think so there is lot more to my kind than you think..." Silver talked about his will to fight and survive the world, trying to fight for his ideals and his worth; while underneath....
"Come on! Come on! Buy a health and mana potion already!" The cost was way too high these days in store and with no way of earning currency, every bit of his money mattered.
「You have successfully purchased the following items from the store:
a. A full health potion with strength and agility buff x 1
b. A full mana capacity increase potion x 1」
"Finally! That store is a bloody ripoff!"
" I don't think you have what it takes me to defeat me. Because I can keep on going forever!" The bottles appeared in Silver's hands and he chugged both of them in a second.
"What was that? You are using some lowly potion made by a alchemist. You think that can defeat me." Erza charged his body with energy, Silver felt the warlord's energy surging.
「System Updated: The system will not give any warning or advice until the battle is assumed to be over.」
「Potions buff successfully received. Your level is boosted to Lvl. 99 to Lvl. 150 for the next 5 minutes. 」
"There is no doubt, he is too powerful for me to defeat. It doesn't matter if he is stronger; all that matters if I win. I have the powers of the outsider afterall."
「Mirror's Front has successfully analyzed the person's powers.」
「Activating Skill: Lighting and Thunder」
Silver gripped is sword, surging with lighting. "The real battle begins now."
The staff and sword clashed second after second, Silver was on the aggressive now. Closing the distance between the two, with wild swings that were being parried again and again.
"Now!" When Erza parried a little too high, he was pushed to the back foot; Silver seized this opportunity to bring his foot forward to kick Erza, rotated the staff in the last moment block the kick too.
Silver quickly jumped back after that, with a quick smile on his face; "Why are you smiling like that-" before Erza finished his sentence, he felt a kick in his guts. He looked at Silver in defiance, he had blocked the kick then how did that happen.
"I need to shake off this guard and strike him straight at the chest. He can dangerous is this fight continues." Erza was sweating in the chill cold and snow around him, his heart was beating fast.
「Spell: EarthQuake」
Erza raised his feet up in the air, and smashed it down on the ground. The land nearby began to shake, and spikes erupted at some points and cracks at others.
Erza held his staff tight and channeled energy to attack his opponent; " Hey look up; I am right here." Silver had already gone up a stand outside the attack radius on top a spike.
"You don't know anything about me, but I know everything about you. Don't underestimate the outsider, Warlord Erza Millon."
「 Enemy Profile: Warlord Erza Million 」
The outsider had the Warlord's entire playbook right in front of him.
