Chapter 12 training

In the secret lair it became known of the defeat of Avareus, and Rakto was not very happy.

Rakto: even the avarice demon has failed! Well it doesn't matter. The purifier has done me a great favor in getting rid of the poorest demons . Now that damned will never succeed in countering our next attack, Superbio!

Superbio: here I am, my lord

Rakto: tomorrow at dawn you will attack the castle. You will find the royal crown, if you wear it you will gain the power

Superbio: and all the royal guards will kneel before me

Rakto: exact. Now go get ready

As the demon of pride walked toward the depths of the cave, Rakto watched the city and a sadistic smile appeared on his face.

Rakto's mind: human ridiculous. Do you really believe that your purifier can protect you this time? How naive you are ... maybe I know the person who can take care of him

The day after...

Drake opened his eyes and saw his beloved Sweetie who was sleeping hugging him. Drake stroked her white fur while Sweetie awoke and gave him a small kiss.

Drake: hello my beautiful princess

Sweetie: good morning too my cute prince

Both took a long look and then cuddle.

Suddenly a phone began to shriek and immediately a mysterious figure answered.

* call on *

?: Hello

Rakto: infiltrated. We are ready to attack the Barkinburg castle

?: excellent. Just what I was waiting for

Rakto: I have an assignment for you: you have to knock out the purifier and the warrior dogs ... do nothing that can make you suspect before you neutralize them

?: do not worry my lord. It is impossible for them to suspect me

Rakto: good. When you have done send us a signal and we will conquer the castle of Barkinburg

* call off *

After a few hours Astral went into the training area of the guards to check how they were training and saw that they were not doing much .

Astral's mind: seriously, how can they protect Barkinburg without even knowing how to use a sword ?

The purifier approached the area where soldiers usually challenged each other to compare their skills ... or to bet among themselves. Immediately afterwards the captain of the guards noticed his presence.

Captain: Astral. It seems that my ancestors don't understand how to handle a sword. Could you give them a demonstration?

Astral: of course. I really wanted to do some practice

Without fear, Astral entered the "arena", ready to show his skills and abilities of those newcomers. One of the most experienced soldiers volunteered and so began the lesson.

The purifier invited him to attack. And so he did, the hits were very powerful but Astral managed to block them without difficulty , after three more parades Astral blocked the soldier's sword and kicked him, causing his opponent to fall .

Astral: it is not enough to use only force in combat. You also need to use the intelligence, your intelligence can make the difference between a victory and a defeat . I recommend you use your intelligence well or you'll find yourself ...

the soldier tried to attack him but Astral stole his sword and landed him

Astral: ... disarmed before to starting a fight

Five soldiers intervened. They wanted to challenge Astral in a fight and without fear Astral accepted the challenge , but had in mind to go further .

Soldier 1: hey Astral. We bet one hundred dollars that we can defeat you

Astral: I'm here. But I want to change the rules. If one of you can touch me with the sword, you have won the challenge

Everyone was shocked, only a fool could think of going so far and winning the challenge, but Astral was always confident in his abilities.

Soldier 2: well so you make things easier for us

Astral: I know. And this is my intent

Soldier 3: now stop talk let's start to duel !

All five soldiers drew their swords and approached the purifier dangerously . The first soldier tried to hit Astral, but he pushed the opponent's weapon away and punched him in the belly. The second tried a thrust but Astral avoided the blade and nudged the soldier's face by making his sword fall. The next soldier set himself on the defensive and without foreseeing it the purifier broke the defense of the enemy and gave him a shove. Another tried to hit him from behind, but fortunately the purifier made an accrobatic jump by crashing the soldier against a wall. Finally Astral anticipated the last soldier by hitting twice and punching him under his jaw, stunning him.

three soldiers were all on the ground aching the other two were preparing a surprise attack for Astral. This time without expecting it, a soldier took Astral from behind, but Astral hit him on the nose using the back of his head . When he was near the only soldier still standing, the soldier withdrew from the challenge.

the who were witnessing the challenge applauded for the great astral triumph.

Astral: and this guys is how we should all fight
