After seeing the void fissure, without wasting another second thought Kylo entered inside the crack.

After a few seconds a rift appeared just behind Avery.

"The Hell?!

And to no one's surptise, eeing such a crack suddenly appearing behind her, Avery yelped in surprise and yelped more when she saw a black sword gleaming with a red light appearing from the black space.

In just a second from her shock she calmed herself down and took out her sword from her space ring. As expected of one of the 'unpolished gem'.

She started preparing to attack the eerie red sword that was exiting the crack, thinking this might just be another one of this perverted cave's trap.

After few seconds, the void gradually closed on its own. Even the sword slowed down which seemed like it was stabilizing itself. And seeing this without any other thought Avery moved.

[The best defense is a good offense.] She did not give the ominous sword any time to wait and stabilize itself only for the sword to 'attack' later.

She used her movement technique and advanced in a speed much much faster than what someone of her Cultivation level, a Combat Soul warrior should be capable of and slashed at the 'ominous sword'.

(Author Note:- fighter and warrior can be used interchangeably.)

[....Huh?]

[Did she get angry because I was late?]

[No I came within a minute. How come my cute little maid is suddenly attacking me?]

Kylo, who was inside the sword, was dumbfounded. He, naturally was not prepared for the attack.

But then again, Kylo was Kylo. He had already experienced so many fights in his life that only few sneak attacks could really surprise him.

The devil, in a reflex, straightened his own 'body', while still remaining inside the sword, mostly because he never had the time to come out.

And also he wanted to see if he could really fight whole staying inside the sword. After all he had only practiced himself and did not have any practical experience to face off a sneak attack while staying inside the sword

But no matter how much Kylo straightened himself, he was only able to use his strength partially because that was too sudden. Even the sword seemed to be a little stiff.

And being suddenly 'sneak attacked' from Avery, who was higher both in cultivation base and strength, the result was not unexpected.

Kylo's 'body' was forced back without any surprise, until it crashed on one of the stone inside the cave.

Just when Avery was getting ready for another attack Kylo came out of the claymore and in annoyed as well as awkward tone asked Avery

"What are you doing, little Avery??"

Annoyed because he was defeated without being ae to hold for a second.

Awkward... for the same reason as well.

Seeing Kylo coming out of sword Avery could not help but yelp once again before calming herself down and analysing this weird situation.

She, still holding her sword, was looking... no glaring at Kylo once again with scrutinizing eyes, checking whether it was an illusion. After all she could not let her guard down.

And it was then, when she suddenly remembered Kylo once said that he, somehow became a sword spirit. Avery immediately became red from embarassement but more than that she was flustered and nervous since she sneak attacked Kylo

"W-why did you come like this???" Avery fumbled pointing her finger at him and then at the sword, which was still glowing a little with red color.

And even though any ordinary person might find it difficult to understand what she was saying, Kylo surprisingly somehow understood what she meant to say, without even spying inside her soul.

"What is so strange for a sword spirit to appear as a sword...." Kylo grumbled looking at Avery, mainly dissatisfied because how he was beaten by his maid in less than a second.

Seeing the dissatisfaction Avery thought may she hurt his pride and she immediately made her way towards her master.

[Is he upset? What should I do??

Is he hurt?

Did I hurt his pride??

Did I hurt his ego? What should I do??] Avery was extremely nervous of being scolded by Kylo.

This was actually nobody's fault. After all this was also the first time the little maid ever saw Kylo moving as a sword.

And Kylo never cared about things like ego and pride. No, he had his pride and ego. But he was not an unreasonable person.

Kylo was just upset about his own cultivation base. He was upset by how really weak he was, which once again reminded him that he was not not the emperor but just another 'weakling'.

Indeed, this was the first 'defeat' he faced after coming in this world.

He got whatever he wanted, everything was going however he wanted.

He defeated the strong cultivators of the domain. He even got a talented maid and a potential dragon.

Even though he used some tricks and schemes, he at the end of the day never suffered a defeat.

Although previously he somehow accepted the fact that he was weak after being transmigrated as a sword spirit, his attitude never changed.

Today was just an opener, a warning bell for him. And this would really really help in the future!

After thinking till this point, he lifted his head and saw Avery's expression, without even needing to peek into her mind he knew what she was thinking.

"Are you alright?" Avery stood in front of Kylo who was still sitting on the ground and asked nervously.

"Why would something like this hurt me..." Kylo waved his hand in a nonchalant manner.

In fact Kylo was just boasting. If it was not because of cave's laws, he would have been hurt badly. And even if it did not really injured Kylo, it would atleast pain him a little.

Avery heaved a sigh of relief inwardly when she saw Kylo did not say anything to her about her previous attack.

"Come here." At this point, Kylo lwas sitting eisurely on the ground and beckoned for Avery to come closer.

Because she was not scolded by Kylo, she happily jumped closer towards him.

*pa* *pa* *pa* *pa*

Before she could say anything Kylo grabbed her hand and pulled her, placed her over his lap, laid her down, and without any mercy for her beauty, swung his big hand onto her butt several times.

"What... WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!" Avery was like a cat that had its tail stepped on, as she jumped to her feet in no time and yelled loudly. Her face blushed furiously as she angrily glared at Kylo.

It was unknown whether it was because of pain or embarassment of being slapped on her butt.

As for Kylo, he just patted his palms in a comfortable manner, before smiling in a relaxed manner and saying "That was your punishment, my little Avery."

"W-who is you---- wait!! Wasn't that just misunderstanding?? Didn't we just clear it?!?!" It seemed Avery herself was confused on what she wanted to retort.

Kylo just gently nodded his head indicating he knows that was just a misunderstanding.

"Then why?!" she shouted with her red face. Mahbe it was because of anger or embarassment or maybe both.

Kylo simply shrugged without replying.

"You... You... You better remember this!!" In the end, without knowing how to vent her anger, she enunciated each word clearly. 

In fact if she wanted she could have just fought with Kylo. But that thought never crossed her mind.

She then left towards the formation with her arms angrily waving in the air.

And Kylo had just one thought in his mind

[...Soft!]
