God's Apostle: Rebirth of a Lazy Genius

Kahn, Also known as The Blade of Kahnver was a wandering knight shrouded in mystery.

No one had seen his face and no one knew he was. Despite many Lords offering them knighthood under them, he would always refuse no matter who offered.

Their objectives were unknown but one thing that was known was their skill with 'The Needle Sword'

A sword made of steel that was a lot thinner than a normal one. Not the same as a needle because then it wouldn't be called a sword, but its name was surely well deserved.

…

…

Just as the flag was waved, Kahn's figure flickered momentarily, disappearing from the spot soon after.

But then it reappeared in everyone's sights moving straight towards Ser Herald with amazingly fast speed.

Herald's pupil moved rapidly left and right as he struggled to keep track of Kahn's precise position due to the rapid, zig-zag movement.

Suddenly as if blown into the wind, Kahn's figure disappeared from all eyes once again, appearing right in front of Ser Herald.

However, it seemed that Herald had expected this as his broadsword sliced through the air like a dimensional cutter.

But nothing happened as Kahn once again abruptly flashed, at his side.

Ser Herald hurriedly tried to move back but the heavy sword hindered his mobility.

Herald still narrowly managed to evade but the tip of the needle sword still scraped through his armor making that irritating scratching sound that everyone hates.

Ser Herald took advantage of his huge body as he stepped forward in a large stride closing the distance between him and Kahr.

His body blocked a lot of space and the remaining was of no use as it was in the range of his broadsword. So how would Kehr escape from his grasp?

This was what everyone wondered. Herald smirked thinking that he finally had the annoying foe in front of him as he swung his large broadsword like an ax making a down cut at Kehn's lower body.

The purple eyes visible in the small slit of the helmet narrowed seeing the mountain-like figure of Herald closing in like a tidal wave.

Suddenly Kehn's body twisted unusually, his feet moving in a chaotic yet systematic way as the broadsword missed his body by just a tiny margin.

"What was that?" Ethan muttered in amazement.

"It's incredible footwork and control. Truly marvelous!" Albaer replied.

Kahn nimbly evaded the strike swiftly slipping aside from Herald's grasp as the broadsword yet again hit the empty ground.

Now it was Herald who was in trouble. Having someone like Kahn in a very close range could have proven to be fatal.

What was unexpected was that the sword created a massive dust cloud upon hitting the ground as both Kahn and Herald's figures became obscure in the dust.

When the dust settled, the silhouette of Herald and Kahn emerged in their initial spots a few distances away from each other.

"Your skill is commendable!" Herald praised.

"And the same goes for you," Kahn said in a voice that sounded a bit rough coming through the helmet.

The fighting once again resumed after the short exchange of words. Herald this time took advantage as he summoned all the strength he could muster and sprinted forward holding his sword tightly.

The Arena had a lot of space but not enough to run about forever.

Kehn's eyes glinted with understanding as he grasped Herald's plan. Kehr was fast but could not maintain the 'abruptly disappearing' technique for more than a few seconds.

Herald hoped to slowly close in and catch Kehn at the corner of the Arena where there would be no place to maneuver.

Kehn's figure once again flickered and then disappeared as only a vivid shadow could be seen shooting ahead straight at Herald with an unimaginable speed.

Herald suddenly sneered sensing the change in the wind hitting his face as he could vividly feel the pattern of Kehn's footwork. And that was good enough for him.

His left hand suddenly moved at his waist as just a second after, three daggers shot ahead each heading to different trajectories.

One went left, one went to the right and one to the center making a zig-zag pattern.

Although the daggers had shot at the same time, strangely enough, they flew at different speeds and thus had a delay of mere seconds between them.

It was a well-calculated and extremely skilled throw as the first dagger met Kahn, left of Herald. It was the dagger that had flown the fastest among the three.

Kahn had been moving at an incredible speed and in a specific pattern that could not be broken in the middle. In this situation, Kahn saw a sharp, fast, and lethal dagger heading straight at his face.

It was like two bullet trains approaching each other upfront on the same track.

Instinctively, Kahn used the thin sword to knock the dagger off before it got to the face and then his figure flashed again to the herald's right following the same zig-zag pattern.

At this moment the second dagger that was a bit late, calculated to pop up in front of Kahr just as he flashed to Herald's right, was suddenly once again in front of his face.

This time there wasn't even enough time to knock the dagger off. Kahn jerked his head sideways just in time as the dagger flew past his ear.

Kahn's figure flashed once again, appearing in the center directly in front of Herald just in time to face the third dagger that was thrown.

Herald was now just a few meters away from Kehn.

Just as Kahn knocked off the third dagger, his momentum was thrown off a lot due to the timely disruption. But it was enough as all Kehn needed to do was to get in close range and take advantage of superior mobility to outmaneuver Herald.

Herald suddenly smiled cunningly as all of a sudden his sword which was raised in an aggressive stance came down vertically in front of his face as if to defend it.

'Interesting! So he made it look as if he was going for an all-out assault while Kahn used the skill to get in close range and swoop in like a cockroach and make use of blind spots to land an attack.'

'But now he's completely defending his upper body while his lower body is fully protected by armor. Even if Kahn were to land a strike, will it even harm him? The bullet train must stop at the next station, it cannot reverse at that speed. If Kahn's next strike goes to waste, then Herald will have a great advantage.'

'So then, what will you do now… Kahn?' Ethan thought inwardly in curiosity and amusement as he analyzed the battle.
