Damian's strategy and plan turned out just like he had hoped and he was also impressed with how adept he had beco in tirs of combat and wielding a blade, but he didn't have ti to stop and congratulate himself.
He knew that until he had gotten away or eliminated all of those that were out for his life, he couldn't stop to rest and he had to make the most of the few seconds that he had away from the other rcenaries, to eliminate the rcenary that he was facing.
The downwards slash to the rcenary's right leg was deep and quick, and not underestimating his opponent, Damian followed up with a slash to his stomach, but it was surprisingly blocked.
He was also surprised to find that the rcenary didn't show any signs of being in pain or react to the slash to his leg, and the other rcenaries also didn't show any signs of planning to intervene.
They were two things that he didn't expect to occur and the slash he aid at the rcenary's stomach was blocked and he suddenly sensed danger, so Damian jumped back.
Looking at the glaring and furious eyes of the rcenary facing, Damian felt slightly wary, while when he looked over at the other rcenaries, they also didn't react in the slightest to what was occurring and it was evident that Damian was surprised by their unusual behaviour.
"You are capable, quite vigilant and intelligent, but you miscalculated. You underestimated how capable we Royal rcenaries are and also overestimated how much we care for each other and our own health. You have so talent, but unfortunately, you went against the royals, what a sha" said the leader of the rcenaries, implying that he believed that the single rcenary would be enough to take down Damian.
Damian was by no ans intimidated or afraid, but he still kept his distance from the rcenary and prepared himself for whatever was coming his way.
What happened next was sothing that he didn't expect in the slightest and the rcenary suddenly threw his sabre to the side, which didn't make sense to Damian in the slightest.
"You were able to copy my sabre techniques and fighting styles, then why don't you try copying this" taunted the rcenary as he opened up his hands and ford what seed to be blades out of his hands.
It seed to be so sort of Soul Spirit that used external energy to allow one to sharpen and harden their hands and the sides of their arms to the point that they are equivalent to blades.
Damian hadn't expected that the rcenary still had such a unique and unexpected ability hidden and he was unsure exactly how powerful that ability would be.
If his arms and hands really were as capable as blades, that made him extrely dangerous as the flexibility of his hands and arms far surpassed that of a blade, however, it also ant that he had to get close to Damian in order to use the ability.
Damian still stayed calm and gathered that his best bet at taking him down was by exploiting the injured right leg of the rcenary and the fact that he had to get close to take him down.
Thinking about needing to face many more rcenaries that were even more powerful than the one he was facing, Damian was beginning to feel as though winning alone.
However, as long as he saved as much energy as he could and wasted as much ti as possible, he would have more ti to await assistance or think of a way to get out of the situation he was in.
Damian extended the length of his fire blade that was ford and sustained by his energy as he fought defensively and sparingly against the rcenary.
The rcenaries attacks were much faster and more unpredictable than before, and Damian also couldn't learn anything from them or recognise a pattern.
Damian fought him for a few minutes and it was clear that the rcenary was tiring out quicker than Damia,n who was using much less energy and also had denser energy storages than even cultivators at cultivation level above him.
The rcenary, becoming more fatigued and using up his energy storages, knew that he would have to finish the battle soon and even while using his Soul Spirit, Damian was still a tough ad capable opponent that he hadn't injured much.
Damian had a few slashes all over his body, but they weren't particularly deep or life-threatening, however over ti they would weaken him greatly and he was losing quite a lot of blood.
Desperate to catch the careful and skilled Damian off guard and also finish the battle in a single move, the rcenary jumped up into the air and gathered all the strength he had left and jumped up into the air.
He struck down with great force and Damian acted as though he was about to block the downwards slash that was coming towards him and put up his Fire Blade, however as the rcenary neared him, he stumbled backwards and fell onto the ground.
The rcenary he was facing along with those that were watching felt as though it was unusual that Damian would make such a big mistake and give up in the face of the powerful downwards strike.
However, what they didn't expect was for Damian to form a long fire spear in his left hand and pierce it straight into the chest of the rcenary, who was slashing downwards towards him.
The flaming spear pierced straight through and caused the rcenary great pain and was sure to kill him, nevertheless, the rcenary was still slashing downwards despite the spear in his chest and was aiming to take down Damian with him.
Damian was helpless and gambled with the sudden spear attack, but never expected that the rcenary would have such a strong willpower and pierce the spear all the way through his body and continue trying to kill him.
