Unrivaled System

"Nihility." Alex used his nothingness power and coated his fist with it's power before vanishing\

After vanishing the old man and Alex was then on the center exchanging attacks and with their speeds at the limit, only a fair amount of people could see them fighting

"Boy what sorcery is this?." The old man asked after they got knockedback by their exchange, he looks at this arm that is starting to fade, he quickly circulated his mana around it to stop it from turning to nothing

"Just one of my power old man." Alex said, he sees the old man's arms started fading but then started slowing down when the old man circulated his mana around his fist, it seems that the power can be stop if you have a strong enemy, though that couldn't be said if you are also strong

"What dreadful power you have boy." The old man said and his body suddenly got coated in flames

"Now let's stop playing around boy." The old man said while his body was covered in flames

"Flames huh?, sorry old man that can't hurt me." Alex said, it was true though even if his punch can hurt him the fire won't because he has an affinity with fire

"Try me." The old man said and vanished again

"Fire Rippling fist." The old man said who has now arrive at his back with his hands blazing with flame

"Cheap tricks." Alex said and turned around and meet the old man's punch

Boom! their fist meet with each other but they didn't dawdle around and quickly followed it by another attack.

bam! bam! bam!

They meet each others attack while sometimes getting hit in their faces and bodies, Alex was hit in his face while the old man also got hit in his stomach, the old man soon noticed that as they continue fighting his mana is slowly going down while Alex wasn't even using any skill, he also noticed that when ever his fist that was covered in fire touch Alex it couldn't hurt him or even affect him at the slightest.

'This doesn't look good.' the old man thought because if he lose all of his mana his fist would start disappearing rapidly, because he can't circulate his mana in his fist to stop it anymore, he then blinked away towards the treasures filled with gold.

"Let's go all out boy." The old man said, that was now holding a golden sword, he blinked before to where the gold was and draw a golden sword that is in a crystal, clearly it is being taken care of. The old man knows that he can't exchange with Alex's fist anymore because he is at a disadvantage in terms of fighting with fist that's why he is going to resort in using weapons.

"Oh now your saying." Alex said when he sees the old man blinked towards the golds, and draw a golden sword

"Gae Bolg." Alex called out his weapon and it quickly appeared, and quickly omitted an ominous aura that immediately covered the whole treasure vault

"A devil weapon?." The old man was surprised when he felt that it and quickly the sword he used also omitted it's own aura fighting with Alex's spear, red and gold aura was currently fighting for suppression in the whole treasure vault, the right was covered in red and ominous aura while the other side, the left was covered in gold and holy aura

"A holy sword?." Alex was also surprised when the sword's aura also activated, he knows that it was also a legendary sword, because even his Gae Bolg's aura was fighting it's aura on equal ground

"Hehehe, this is why this treasure vault is being protected boy, because of this sword, at normal I shouldn't be allowed to use this but according to your strength it would be bad not using this." The old man said

____________________________________________________________________________________________

'Oh? so that's the treasure in this place?.' Alex though when the old man explained the sword

"Alex that is the nine star artifact just like your Gae Bolg spear." Sistine said when she sees the sword

"Nine stars?." Alex asked he was unfamiliar with the word

"Yes the weapons are ranked in stars from one to nine, and your spear and that sword are nine stars artifact." Sistine said

"Weapons also have ranks?." Alex asked because he was surprised

"Of course it would, if not how could you measure a strong and weak sword." Sistine said

"I see, are there another ranks after the nine stars?." Alex asked

"Yes there is but I'll explain that later when we meet, at least there is an immortal tool and Divine tool." Sistine said

"Okay I understand." Alex said, he will just again when he finally sees another legendary sword

_______________________________________________________________________________________

"It seems that is what I was here for old man." Alex said to the old man, this was the one he was finding in the treasure vault because this was the sword that was needed to be protected by a barrier how could it not be strong and hearing Sistine explained it's even equal to his spear the Gae bolg.

"Dream on boy, this is a holy sword that is a nightmare to all of the Devil swords." The old man said and vanish

"Heh! who says dark can't beat light? who says Devil swords isn't the nightmare to all of the Holy swords? Only the holder decides that." Alex said and also vanish

Ting* A metallic sound that clashed sounded in the whole place

Ting* Ting* Ting*

Alex and the old man meet their weapons together and attack each other, the old man slashed his sword toward Alex side and Alex quickly parried it with his sword while finding some opening to attack the old man

Ting* Ting* Ting* Ting*

They keep clashing and clashing their weapons the old man was currently on the offensive while Alex was on defense and keep parrying the attacks of the old man. Alex underestimated how strong the nine star artifact was, before he only used the spear to easily stab his enemies and don't know it's true potential, now without any experience in spearmanship Alex was having a difficulty fighting the old man who was experience in the way of the sword, Alex was only able to parry the old man's sword by his spear because of his speed that made up for his lack of experience in the way of the spear..
