The Duke's Eldest Son Escaped to the Military

Ch. 51 - Phoenix Rescue Operation (1)

The Ghosts started to move in earnest once they had confirmed that the green flare had been fired to the sky.

Since they were all powerhouses that sat firmly on the 5th Stage, they could easily overpower the black robed beings that stopped them once they went all out.

The 2nd among the Ghosts easily let out dozens of sword attacks and tied up their black robed enemy. Coupled by Lintel's extremely fast swordsmanship and the Ghosts' pressure, the black robed being that wielded a scythe was forced into a dead end.

Iron watched as faint sword lights from their swords aimed for the gap in the reaper's movements. Their attacks resulted in the opponent's robe being torn off while receiving plenty of injuries.

As he watched them fight, he could see that the Ghosts' swordsmanship was different from one another. Each of their swords had fully shown their individuality. One used a brilliant and flashy swordsmanship that blocked the enemy's vision while the other used a dark sword that came down heavily from the sky.

'Is this the power of a 5th Stage powerhouse?'

Iron couldn't help but mutter to himself as he stared at their swords that contained their individual characteristics. He looked like he was really envious of them.

This was a stage that he had achieved in his previous life. However, even if he had reached this stage back then he was still envious of these people. After all, they were people who had tremendous power after fully awakening to the 5th Stage. At the very least, they had a power that was completely different to someone who had incompletely climbed to that stage after embedding the fragment of the heart of a fire dragon in their bodies, someone like him.

"Jealous?"

Iron nodded bitterly when he heard Carl Gustav's question.

"There's no rush. As long as you live as a Ghost you're bound to climb up on that stage sooner or later."

Carl Gustav reminded him not to be too hasty as he continued to check the situation of the surroundings and the gradually ending battle.

Around 10 minutes later...

"Right. I thought something would definitely pop out."

Carl's sword left its sheathe as soon as he finished speaking. A powerful sword strike flew out with just a simple swing of his sword in the air. Surprisingly, it hit something that seemed to be stealthily approaching them.

Bang!

"Quite good."

Carl Gustav just lightly swung his sword to test the waters but when he realized that he did not hurt his opponent at all, he realized that his opponent was quite strong. So, he began to move earnestly.

Twin swords appeared and flew in to answer his attacks. Carl Gustav quickly raised his sword and deflected the incoming attack. A powerful shockwave burst forth as soon as their swords collided.

When Iron saw Carl's movements he could see that they were seamless and natural. It was as if his body was one with his sword. In addition, there were powerful shockwaves that exploded whenever his sword collided with his enemy.

"6th Stage?"

Iron mumbled blankly.

But the longer he watched, the more his eyes could see that Carl had still not achieved the perfect 6th Stage. However, his strength at this level was already more than enough.

The black robed being that wielded the twin swords was starting to get pushed back by Carl's offense. Thanks to the shockwaves produced by their collision, the robe that covered the mysterious being was slowly being torn to shreds.
