My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy

Chapter 206 Act

Helen, Berg, Peter and Alex were in the Raven city casino where rich merchants or adventurers came to play all sort of games in an attempt to double their money.

Alex and the rest were here to see Steve, a person whom Helen trust that he has all the information they needed to take the leader of the Iron Fist Guild down.

Not like they were hoping it will come to that, but just in case it did, they needed to be ready and that's why they were here. But Steve had refused to help because he didn't want Helen to get killed.

Helen tried everything she could to get him to help, she even went as far as telling Steve that she got help but he just laughed it off as the help Helen brought were kids and so he decided to leave.

But before Steve could leave, Berg challenged him to fight against one of those he deemed as 'kids' and see their strength for himself.

Steve agreed and that was what led to the current situation right now, Steve challenged Alex and now, they stood apart from each other ready to clash swords.

"A word of advice, if you are planning to hold back, then don't. Because I assure you, you won't even be able to draw out my full strength." Alex said.

"How arrogant!" Steve shouted as he dashed towards Alex in anger.

Steve was quite fast as he got to Alex's position quickly and thrusted his sword towards Alex's stomach but Alex had quickly lifted his sword to block the hit.

Steve quickly stepped back and then came in fast and strong again this time with a strike to Alex's neck. But Alex had simply just stepped to the side avoiding it then he swung his legs out towards Steve who quickly blocked with his hands.

"You are good, but you're still a kid that doesn't have any experience." Steve said as he dashed towards Alex again.

"A kid huh?" Alex chuckled as he stood there not moving even though Steve was coming in hot.

Steve was now in front of Alex and he thrusted his sword again towards Alex's stomach but even still, Alex didn't move.

"How arrogant!" Steve shouted as his sword connected with Alex's stomach but it didn't even leave a faint scratch on Alex's stomach.

The crowd seeing this, were amazed as it was clear that Alex had a huge amount of Qi surrounding his body.

"How's this possible?" Steve asked still baffled.

"You don't know what we have been through!" Alex shouted as he was now in front of Steve with a sword strike from above.

Steve quickly snapped out of his daze and lifted his sword to block the strike but he didn't account for the the strength behind the hit.

Immediately Steve's sword blocked Alex's hit, he felt his knees buckle under the strength of Alex's hit and Steve also felt his wrist cracking.

'Impossible!' Steve thought as he quickly let go of his sword otherwise his wrists would have broken.

"Had enough?" Alex asked.

"You haven't shown me what Helen saw in you yet." Steve smiled as he glanced at his sword beside him.

Steve quickly used his leg to flip his sword from the ground and it flipped in the air before he quickly grabbed and smiled at Alex.

Without any warning, Steve leapt towards Alex strongly while swirling his Qi around his hand and sword giving him a boost in strength and then he performed an overhead strike towards Alex.

Alex seeing the strike coming from above, didn't fret as he just flicked his wrist to block the hit easily and threw Steve off.

The crowd were just cheering at this amazing performance from the young man in the centre. While among the crowd, Andrew was speechless.

"I thought the other one was strong, but it turns out this one is stronger. What are these people doing here and who the hell are they?" Andrew asked.

"No idea, but we will investigate further when we get back to the base." Kilborg; Andrew's bodyguard said.

Helen who was off to the side was quite impressed and so was Berg.

"They are quite strong, but Steve is just a C rank adventurer. We will be going against a lot of people as strong as Steve and even higher ranks, how are we going to do that?" Berg asked.

"When we get to the bridge, we will know how to cross it." Helen replied.

Meanwhile, Steve wasn't done yet as his feet touched the ground, he leapt again towards Alex and started rapidly striking him but Alex was able to parry away the strikes quite easily.

'Who's this monster? He isn't even using Qi in his strikes and he is able to parry away all my Qi infused strikes as if it was nothing.' Steve thought as he narrowly evaded a fast sword strike heading for his stomach.

"I think this demonstration has gone on for long enough." Alex said as he easily dodged Steve's strike and quickly grabbed his hand and then bashed his hand onto Steve's arm therefore sending a resounding pain into Steve's very being.

Steve quickly pulled back as he held his hand while his face was contorted in pain, surprise and confusion.

Alex was about to dash towards Steve when he quickly raised his hands up.

"Enough, I have seen enough and I have decided to comply." Steve said while his hands was raised and Alex stopped dead in his tracks.

Everybody seeing that the fight was over, they dispersed and went back to playing their games.

"Let's head somewhere more private." Steve said loud enough for the rest to hear and they quickly headed out of the casino while unbeknownst to them, two individuals were trailing them carefully.

"What do you plan on doing?" Kilborg asked.

"Following them of course." Andrew said.

"We can't keep doing this forever, we need to come up with a plan fast because I'm tired of following them.

"Fine, wherever they stop next, and they want to leave, we will act." Andrew said.
