Starting With an SSS-Rank Swordsmanship Talent

Looking at the old warrior who was about to attack him, Warrick quickly shouted. “Sir Treston, think about your family! If you want them to survive, then you must listen to me!”

Before Treston could respond, another voice echoed.

“Don’t listen to him, Sir Treston! That man is only deceiving you!”

Both Transcendents turned their heads and saw a warrior on horseback approaching them.

“Lord Richard, what are you doing here?! It’s dangerous!” Treston frowned and gestured for Richard to leave.

When Warrick heard the man’s name, he narrowed his eyes. He didn’t hesitate and made a quick move.

He rushed toward Richard.

“My lord, be careful!” Treston’s face fell upon seeing this. He promptly followed Warrick and threw his lance at him.

Warrick sensed the danger and evaded to the side.

Bang!

The lance failed to hit him, but it gave Treston enough time to catch up to Warrick.

Just as Warrick was about to capture Richard, he saw a figure appear before him.

It was the old warrior.

Warrick raised his sword and swung it heavily.

Whoosh!

The old warrior immediately lifted his shield.

Bang!

The old man’s feet slid off the ground, but he managed to block Warrick’s attack.

Tsk!

Warrick clicked his tongue.

“You have no honor as a warrior!” Treston glared at him.

Warrick stared at him with a sneer. “Old man, if you want to survive in this cruel world, sometimes you need to do things that you don’t want to do.”

“Don’t let that foolish principle destroy your family!” He added.

Treston frowned. He then sent Richard a deep look and shouted. “You must leave, my lord. You staying here will only hold me back!”

Hearing this, Richard’s face darkened. “Sir Treston, I am a proud warrior of House Harrison! I don’t need your help! I can protect myself!”

He was an Elite Knight, a formidable one at that. Even among those in his realm, few could rival him.

Treston almost had the urge to punch this idiot’s head. This guy had been spoiled by Darvin all his life so he developed an arrogant personality. If he weren’t the heir of House Harrison, Treston would have already beaten him up.

“Shut your mouth, Richard! Stay out of my fucking sight before I do it myself!” He had been holding back his anger for a long time, but there was a limit to his patience.

Richard was stunned. He didn’t expect to hear this from the old warrior.

He wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in his mouth. In the end, he could only shamefully look away from him and leave.

Fuck! How dare a servant disrespect me like this?! Dammit!

Veins protruded on Richard’s face. He had never felt such shame before.

Meanwhile, Warrick let out a condescending laugh after witnessing this scene.

“Is that the heir of your household? He has quite the character.” Sarcasm was evident in his voice.

Treston stared at him coldly, unable to utter a retort.

“Lord Alaric hasn’t even turned 20, but he is already an Elite Knight. In a decade, House Silversword will welcome another Transcendent! With his talent, he might even advance further and reach the fabled Mythical realm!” Warrick proudly remarked.

I’m running out of ideas here! What’s taking Fredrinn so long?!

***

While Warrick was using every means possible to buy time, another group had already infiltrated the estate of House Harrison.

“Is this map reliable?” Fredrinn asked as he looked at the sketchy-looking map that looked like it was drawn by a ten-year-old kid.

“Yes, sir. It doesn’t look much, but it was drawn by one of the spies we sent to House Harrison.” A warrior from House Keller responded with a nod.

Hearing this, Fredrinn had no choice but to follow the route drawn on the map.

“Sir, I think we are almost there. Look at that building! That should be the one we are looking for!” Another warrior exclaimed.

Fredrinn followed the direction he was pointing and saw a building that looked like a storage facility.

We really made it here by following this shady map…

Fredrinn was speechless, but he quickly observed the situation.

Strange…

He furrowed his eyebrows.

Why would a building like that be left unguarded?

Just then, a powerful aura suddenly burst out behind them.

Sensing this, Fredrinn unsheathed his sword and shouted. “Enemies behind us! Prepare for battle!”

The warriors who had followed him immediately reacted upon hearing his words. They unsheathed their weapons and looked behind them.

However, there was only one person.

It was a middle-aged man with graying hair. He was holding a short sword as he approached them with steady footsteps.

“Just one man? Kill him!” The warriors charged towards the man and brandished their weapons aggressively.

“Wait! There’s something wrong with that man!” Fredrinn warned them, but it was already too late.

He could sense an oppressive power from the man, one that was almost the same as Warrick!

The middle-aged man smirked coldly and muttered. “A bunch of fools!”

With a casual wave of his short sword, three warriors fell, their bodies chopped into several pieces!

This time, the warriors finally realized that this was no ordinary individual so they quickly retreated.

“You want to escape? It’s too late for that!” The middle-aged man pursued them like a ghost. It didn’t even take him long to eliminate more than ten warriors.

He was about to kill the last one when a figure appeared and blocked his attack.

Bang!

“Oh?” He was surprised.

He stared at Fredrinn with a look of interest. He didn’t expect that an Elite Knight could actually block his sword.

“Sir Fredrinn!” The man who had just escaped death was horrified. If it weren’t for Fredrinn, he would have been one of the corpses scattered on the ground!

He was also an Elite Knight, but he couldn’t even see the middle-aged man’s sword.

Meanwhile, Fredrinn’s expression darkened. “You are a Transcendent Knight!”

The middle-aged man grinned at his words.
