Chapter 300: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 103

"Let's put that aside for now," Kayn quickly changed the topic. "I am interested in your proposal, but I'm afraid we'll have to make changes to the original plan,"

"What do you mean?" Garvin doesn't understand.

"I don't want to limit myself to just being feared in this godforsaken place only. I want to become a huge threat in the 'Tower'," Kayn proposed the alternative.

"Are you insane?!" Garvin was in disbelief.

"If you're not up to the task, then consider this negotiation over," Kayn shrugged his shoulder out of helplessness. If Garvin doesn't want to accept it, he'll have to think of proposing this very bright idea to somebody else.

"I think you're mistaken about something, I am talking about whether you'd live or die. If you don't accept my proposition, let alone being feared in the 'Tower', you might not even get out of 'The Bridge' alive and return back to Earth," Garvin looks at Kayn with disdain.

"Do you seriously think that you have the advantage here?" Kayn smiled mischievously.

"Don't I?" Garvin already has the entire Dream Village in the palm of his hand since Lilith is no longer present.

"It seems like being in 'The Bridge' had turned you into a frog in a well,"

"You dare insult me?!" Garvin stared at Kayn with bloodshot eyes.

"It can't be helped, I guess I'll have to challenge you on a one-on-one fight. Whoever wins, we'll have to serve the opposite party through the Knight's Oath of Fealty,"

Knight's Oath of Fealty. This is a ceremony no different from the Guardian Duel that Heroes with the Guardian subclass performs.

Contrary to the Guardian Duel though, when someone with the Knight subclass decided to perform the Knight's Oath of Fealty, that means they swear eternal loyalty and devotion to someone and personally recognize them as their sovereign and will forever become a subordinate or servant of that person. Breaking this Knight's Oath of Fealty will warrant a curse to the Knight, which will decrease all of their stats by a quarter in percentage for eternity or until the person they swore the Knight's Oath of Fealty dies.

In other words, the 'Tower' officially recognizes the Knight's Oath of Fealty and backs it up.

"You? What level are you right now?" Garvin doesn't quite understand where Kayn's confidence comes from.

"I am still level 30," Kayn didn't mind revealing it since it was only him and Garvin who could hear their conversation. Moreover, levels don't really mean much to him personally. With the proper execution of skills combined with his techniques and experience, he is confident that he can take on Garvin.

"Once we begin, I hope you won't be going back on your words," Garvin wants to confirm it first as he doesn't want Kayn to suddenly back down during their battle.

The Knight's Oath of Fealty might be backed by the 'Tower', but if Kayn suddenly decided to back out from the fight, Garvin can't do anything about it nor blame Kayn for not honoring his words since the 'Tower' only recognizes the Knight's Oath of Fealty and not the process of how one obtains it.

"I lay down my honor for this fight," Kayn jumped down from the wall and landed on the remains of the north bridge.

Gilbert and the others were immediately surprised at Kayn's sudden action. They hurriedly approached the edge of the wall and started beckoning for the latter to return.

However, to their surprise, Garvin also left his men all on his own and jumped down on the opposite side of the broken north bridge.

Kayn signaled everyone to stay put with his hand, and Garvin also did the same.

Once again, a temporary cease-fire took place between the Dream Village and the Freedom Fang Brigade.

"What are they doing?" Gilbert can't help wondering.

"I think they are going to duke it out against each other on a one-versus-one fight," Wesley understood.

"What's Kayn's level right now?" Jericho looks at Gilbert.

"I believe he is only level 30,"

"Level 30?!" Wesley was surprised. "We have to do something!"

"No," Jude interjected. "It is exactly in this kind of situation where we have to believe Kayn the most,"

"Is he perhaps relying on his mysterious bodyguard?" Wesley uttered as he looks around them, hoping to glimpse a sight of an unfamiliar figure. Too bad, no matter how hard he looks around, he found no one.

"Mysterious bodyguard?"

Jericho and the others don't understand.

"Kayn told us yesterday night that Mayor Sebastian had assigned someone to protect him inside 'The Bridge'," Wesley explains. "At first, we didn't believe him, but when we trapped ourselves inside a cave in order to hide, we heard that mysterious bodyguard signaling us that the outside is safe,"

"That's right," Gilbert supported the claim. "So, I guess Kayn intends on relying upon his mysterious bodyguard and letting the latter fight against Garvin instead,"

"But, I don't see any signs of someone else intruding on their fight," Jericho narrowed his eyes.

"Let's just trust him," Gilbert motioned his hand in order to signal to Kayn that they won't interrupt his fight with Garvin.

"I've taken care of my side," Kayn informs Garvin.

"Rest assured, my men wouldn't interrupt our fight, especially considering that I'll obviously win against you," Garvin muttered with a confident tone in his voice. He wasn't worried even in the slightest that Kayn would be able to defeat him. Kayn might be strong according to the fact that he was able to one-versus-six all the members of the Freedom Fighters, but a twenty-level gap difference is a completely different story. In his opinion, Kayn is just being delusional as he assumes he can defeat him.

"I hope you stay loyal to your honor. Otherwise, you don't have the right to call yourself a Knight, let alone a Hero,"

"And who told you I even care about being called a Hero?" Kayn shook his head after being presented with the same assumption once more.

"Whatever your status is, it doesn't matter in our fight. All I care about is, are you prepared to become my servant?!" Garvin waves his hand, taking out a sword from his Storage Ring.

"I should be asking you that question instead," Kayn took out the Molten Ice Sword in response.

Without wasting any more time, the duo lunged towards each other.

Whooosh!
