My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

-----

Arthur and Frank clashed against one another in an intense battle of swordsmen, their swords resonated with their powers. Arthur wielded the light of Excalibur while Frank embraced the darkness of Gram. The legendary sword of light against the tenebrous sword of darkness. It was a battle that constantly surprised Arthur. The two blades constantly clashed, the shockwaves generated by such attacks resonated constantly across the entire room, it was nothing but a legendary battle of epic proportions.

Arthur grew fascinated as Frank continued to exploit the small openings he gave each time he unleashed a powerful technique, Phantasmal Blade was a special technique that allowed Frank's word to reach farther by extending Gram's power and length, hitting the spots that no normal swordsman would be able to hit. Arthur, who always believed to have an indestructible defense and who prided himself on his incredible usage of stances was left completely speechless each time Frank exploited his weaknesses.

Seconds continued to pass, as a few minutes had already passed since the two began to fight passionately. In all his life Frank had always fought mostly to defeat his foes, although against the Vampires it was different, this time… it was completely in another level. The battle against Arthur was both inspiring and exciting to him, something he had never undergone before, he felt absorbed by the fight, and so did King Arthur.

However, Frank knew very well that he couldn't keep fighting all the time, so he had to quickly finish off this fight. He moved forward, as he noticed that Arthur was getting sharper with his movements, but also slower, as he quickly attacked him in an opening into his stomach… but it was a feint.

"Hah, you fell for it again!" Laughed Arthur, as he swung his blade vertically, infusing all the power he had. "Mountain Splitter!"

TRUUUUUMMMMM…!

Enough power to split an entire mountain suddenly fell over Frank, as his Gram managed to intercept the hit barely, but it quickly began to crack! The power of Excalibur, a world-realm treasure from the world of Camelot was simply in another level completely!

"Nnnggghhh…!" Frank gritted his teeth, resisting the incredible force of Arthur's sword!

"This is it, Frank! It is my victory, as the king, I've won!" Said Arthur.

"Don't… get too cocky!" Frank responded, as he suddenly pointed his hand at Arthur's stomach! Was he planning to use magic of some sort? Arthur began to think of it, but quickly realized that he had not used magic either, this was a battle of swords, Frank wouldn't do such a thing, right?

But Arthur grew restless… what if Frank betrayed him and would kill him? he had been lowering his guard and dancing in the palm of his hand the entire time?!

Arthur desperately pulled back in that realization, giving Frank an opening as he swung his blade against his chest and impacted him with the power of the demonic blade Gram!

CLAAAASH!

"Unngh…!"

BOOM!

Arthur fell into the floor, as he looked up to Frank surprised… He was thrown into the floor, and Frank pointed the tip of his blade at him.

"What? Did you thought I would fire magic at you? We promised it would be a fight of swords." Said Frank. "…But that doesn't imply I wouldn't use some little mind tricks."

"Y-You bastard…" Said Arthur. "Hahaha… HAHAHAHA!" 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎

Arthur began to laugh loud and clear like a King, as he slowly stood up and smiled back at Frank while furrowing his eyebrows. 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com

"It is my lost… I've lost." He said. Arthur right after that took out his pendant, which was made with a special stone emanating a strong cosmic essence from within.

"You wanted this, didn't you?" He asked.

"Eh? Y-You're giving it to me?" Asked Frank.

"I lost, it is your prize, aside from my cooperation." Said Arthur. "Take it, I won't accept a "no" as an answer."

"Thanks." Frank grabbed the pendant as he smiled, devouring it and quickly regaining more of his original power.

"Now, you'll do as you promised. Help me out defeat this band of freaks I thought I had something in common with and let me go back to my world. You know? I have two children and a wife; I don't have time to go around other worlds when my own world is already in a very fragile stability…" Sighed Arthur while crossing his arms and sheathing his Excalibur.

"I guess we can agree in that, I also got my own things to deal with, and my big family to take care of." Said Frank. "Thank you for trusting me, King Arthur."

"You don't have to call me King anymore, just Arthur. You're not the subject of my Kingdom anyways." Said Arthur while waving his hands casually. "Now! Onwards, Frank!"

"Alright!"

The two quickly moved forward, as a path was opened towards the Emperor's room. Frank had not only defeated the powerful Arthur Pendragon, the King of Camelot in a "fair" swordsmanship battle, but had also made a new otherworldly friend and ally in this battle. Deep down, he couldn't help but think of Arthur as someone very similar to Matsuo.

,m He quickly began to think about his friends back on Earth, but they were doing alright by now. Tokyo had been attacked by Chaos Gate and opened a portal to the Outer Realm, but everyone joined hands with Frank through one of his clones, and were dealing with everybody rather smoothly, mostly because the boss of the Chaos Gate was in another world completely, and couldn't guide his underlings well.

And now that he died, various things that were being supported by his powers also began to malfunction, the gate leading to the outer realm closed in an instant, and most of the troops of monstrous beings he had invoked weakened and were even more easily slain. Everyone was doing their best back on Earth, Frank couldn't disappoint these people, he had also had to do his best here and end this.
