Chapter 147 Khro's Visit(2)
'He can already kill A-Rank monsters by himself? Is he bluffing or… No, the Saintess is here. He wouldn't lie so blatantly before her, and she would definitely call him out if he was lying.' Khro swallowed nervously.
Since Camille wasn't saying anything, that ant Leo was telling the truth when he claid to have killed A-Rank monsters by himself.
'This guy can already hunt A-Rank monsters at his age… Just what kind of background does he have? Only powerhouses like the Scarlet Family and the Light Family would have such talents…'
Soti later, Khro tossed a steel sword that weighed around 90kg to Leo.
"Can you handle it?" He asked.
Leo casually swung the sword around and nodded, "No problem."
"In order to make this as fair as possible, we're going to use the sa weapon. Any complaints?"
"None."
"Great. Then as your senior, I will let you make the first movent— No, I will only defend for the first three minutes." Khro said with an arrogant-looking smile on his face.
"You better not make any excuses when you lose." Leo said.
"Don't worry, that won't happen."
"Then here I co!" Leo confronted Khro the next second, taking a step forward while swinging his sword at the sa ti.
Clang!
Khro perfectly blocked his strike.
'Heavy!' The smile on Khro's face widened when he felt Leo's strength for the first ti in two months since their last spar.
"Looks like I can finally have so fun, pipsqueak!" Khro laughed out loud as he proceeded to block many more of Leo's strikes.
However, the smile on his face would slowly beco a nervous one, eventually disappearing completely.
'This pipsqueak… Not only is he executing the combos perfectly but he's even improved on so of them!' Khro didn't recognize so of Leo's combos but they felt similar to the ones he knew.
Over the next three minutes, Khro would not only block all of Leo's strikes, he would assess it and try to learn from it. His experience may be more than Leo, but he had to admit that Leo had better technique and movent than him.
Once the three minutes was up, Khro stopped being on the defensive and went on the offensive, which isn't necessarily a bad thing since he had more room for mistakes.
Because Khro was focused on defense, Leo had a hard ti breaking it. However, now that he's also attacking, Leo could find a chance to counter.
"C'mon, Leon! Is this all you got?! Your words had more power to it than your actual strikes!" Khro suddenly began provoking him.
A slight grin suddenly appeared on Leo's face.
Khro instinctively shuddered when he saw Leo's grin, but before he could react to it, Leo's speed exploded out of nowhere, taking him by surprise.
"What?!"
Leo's sword struck Khro's body several tis in the blink of an eye, sending him flying afterward.
Khro collapsed on his back a couple of ters away, and for so reason, he didn't get back up. Instead, he remained lying on the floor while staring at the ceiling with a blank gaze.
"Are you okay?" Leo walked up to him and asked.
"Not bad, pipsqueak. You purposefully weakened yourself during the first three minutes to mislead into thinking that was all you're capable of. You really had fooled." Khro said with a smile on his face as he sat up.
Ding!
[ 10 Magic Points]
After defeating Khro, who was an A-Rank Adventurer, Leo finished his quest that required him to defeat an F-Rank Adventurer.
Of course, he imdiately purchased the quest again.
"I only defeated you because of the surprise. Now that you know what I am capable of, I doubt I will defeat you again." Leo smiled.
"You're damn right you won't defeat a second ti!" Khro laughed out loud, not minding his defeat at all. In fact, he was incredibly happy that Leo had managed to defeat him.
Once Khro got back to his feet, he said, "Alright, let's do it again."
"Sure." Leo didn't mind fighting Khro again even though he knew that he would lose.
They started their 2nd round shortly after, and just as he'd expected, Khro swept the floor with him.
After the fight ended, Khro said, "So I heard about your situation from the Saintess. You're in hiding right now because you're being hunted by so unknown person, right?"
"That's right." He nodded.
"I don't know if there's anything I can do to help your situation, but I will try asking around." Khro said.
"No, I appreciate your consideration, but I don't want you to get mixed up in my problem." Leo shook his head.
"So what are your plans? Don't tell you're going to stay in hiding and hope this person forgets about you?" Khro then asked.
"I don't know yet, but I will figure sothing out."
"Alright. I will be staying in this city for a few weeks because of an upcoming mission. If you need , you know where to find — the Adventurers' Guild."
"What kind of mission?" Leo asked out of curiosity.
"We're going to be raiding an A-Rank monster nest," he said.
"Monster nest?" Leo's eyes flickered with excitent.
In his eyes, a monster nest had a lot of monsters, and that ans a lot of Magic Points.
Khro looked at him weirdly. "Don't tell you want to participate in this raid?"
"Can I?"
"You'll need to be at least a B-Rank Adventurer to officially participate." Khro said.
"And when is this raid going to occur?"
"In a month and half."
'A month and half… The tournant starts in three weeks, aning I will have around three weeks to be promoted to a B-Rank Adventurer… It might be doable.' Leo pondered to himself.
"If you can reach B-Rank before then and also defeat again, I will recomnd you to join my raid team." Khro said, almost as though he knew what Leo was thinking.
"Okay." Leo nodded.
