SWNOVELS Chapter 53 The Vice Sect Leader Arrives!
*****************¶¶*****************
Balor had been chased out of the family and he resented it for all the hardships he had faced from when he was little.
He was both angry and relieved when he was cast out of the family.
Angry for the disgrace and manner that they did it, relieved and happy because he could now do his own thing.
"Oh, sorry about that."
"Nah, it's okay. I have gotten over it already," even Balor didn't believe what he said.
'He isn't part of them...good...' Luke inwardly heaved a sigh of relief as he would not know how to talk to Balor calmly if he was still a member of the family.
'The Weissman family is my enemy!'
The Weissman family played a major role in his father's capture and death. And he had vowed to one day take revenge and kill all who were part of the attack on his father.
So he was glad that Balor was no longer affiliated with them and even held some resentment towards his family.
Otherwise, if Balor joins Arthur's group as Arthur wants, there might be issues of trust as Luke will never be able to cooperate with someone who he considers his enemy.
They talked a bit and shared their experiences within the tower as they joined the crowd.
"So who do you think is on the highest floor?" Balor asked Luke.
"It should be my mas- I mean...Invincible."
Balor raised an eyebrow at his slip-up but ignored it.
"Why do you think he is the one and not that other cold-looking guy?"
Luke just shrugged his shoulders and refrained from speaking.
"Well, time will tell I guess?"
"Yeah, let's wait and see."
Now, there were only two people left in the tower and they were Arthur and Zaith.
While Arthur was battling the puppet on the 31st floor, Zaith ascended to the 27th floor.
*Clank!*
A Sword Puppet appeared before him releasing its sword intent.
"I won't be able to last much longer. This will probably be my last battle," Zaith said to himself.
'If you let me help you, then you could probably clear all floors...maybe?' A voice said in his head.
'Heh, even you aren't sure of clearing all floors.'
'That's because you are not strong enough to unleash more of my power!'
Zaith sneered internally and replied, 'Keep your power. I won't be needing it!'
'Hmph! Suit yourself then...' The voice in his head went silent.
Zaith focused on his opponent and released his slaughter intent which was now on the 5th rank.
David and Sophia were watching Zaith's battle.
"Why isn't he using his martial spirit?"
"Yeah, he might have a chance of ascending to higher floors if he does."
"He is the only one who hasn't released his martial aside from the other one."
Zaith held his weapon which was a combination of an axe blade and a spear blade.
It also had a chain that wrapped around his arm.
*Clink*
Zaith threw his weapon up and began to spin it with the chain.
The sword puppet wasted no time and attackerd, beginning their battle.
Time passed and Zaith finally defeated the puppet.
"Hah!"
He sent the final attack which was enhanced with a martial art technique that was strong enough to cleave the puppet in two.
*Bang!*
Zaith fell on one knee breathing heavily.
'Damn, this illusion feels too real!' He lamented.
"Would you like to proceed to the next floor?" A voice asked.
"No, send me out."
"Very well..."
With that, Zaith was sent out after clearing the 27th floor.
"So two people broke his record and one reached the same level."
"This is interesting..." David muttered, thinking about what this meant to the sect.
Zaith walked out of the tower wearing his usual cold look. He didn't even care about the crowd outside as he was deep in thought.
'I would have been able to reach the 30th floor if I had used my martial spirit.'
He sighed, 'If only...'
He found where the disciples that climbed the tower with him were and went to stand amongst them.
He raised his head and looked at the number displayed in front of the tower.
[31]contemporary romance
'Invincible...maybe he deserves such a name,' he wondered.
Just as he thought that, the number on the tower changed again.
[ 32! ]
'Yeah, the name may not be a fluke after all..."
``````````
After a tricky battle, Arthur defeated the puppet on the 31st floor and also comprehended 5th rank sword intent.
Also, while fighting the sword puppet, he was able to quickly comprehend some sword moves and his attacks with the sword had reached the basic level.
'He improved so fast!' Sophia was the one that noticed and was alarmed at such a talent.
David was a bit more focused on Zaith's battle so he hadn't noticed it.
On the 31st floor, Arthur was surprised to see two golden sword puppets instead of one.
"I haven't battled two opponents before, this would be the first time."
Arthur released his sword intent and more of his spirit power and rushed first at the puppets.
'Let's do this!'
Outside the Sword Tower, a figure arrived with a mighty aura, causing everyone to look up.
"It's the Vice Sect Leader!"
"The Vice Sect Leader is here!"
A middle-aged-looking man with a mixture of black and grey hair stood in the air with a cold look on his face.
The disciples present looked at him and cupped their first. Bowing in unison they all said.
"We greet the Vice Sect Leader!"
The Vice Sect Leader didn't even nod to acknowledge their greeting and looked at the number displayed on the tower.
'It will be troublesome if that brat clears all floors. But there is nothing I can do,' The Vice Sect Leader thought to himself.
Just as he was thinking, he sensed something and looked in a certain direction in the clouds for less than a second before averting his gaze.
"Hmm?"
"Did he sense us?"
"It's probably a mistake."
"I don't think so, this guy is always low-key about his abilities, unlike that son of his."
The Supreme Guardian and Old Man Whitebeard conversed as they too were thinking of what will happen after Arthur clears all floors.
