A moment later, Tyrone wielded a cursed scythe. The weapon was perfect for slashing enemies, and the bodyguards knew it well. To be honest, they were taken aback because they had not seen the scythe in quite some time.
It was a scythe that brought about instant death. Anyone who was hit by its slash would die instantly, even if their skin was only slightly scratched. The conditions for the death curse had been met as long as the scythe slash caused a bleeding wound.
Tyrone only used the death scythe when he was dealing with a powerful opponent. The bodyguards did not know how strong Radmilo was that Tyron used the death scythe.
When they considered it, Tyrone and Radmilo started the fight. As soon as Tyrone slashed his scythe, the bodyguards jumped back. Zivile also took a step back because she knew the scythe was strong since the bodyguards were stunned.
"You're good at jumping," Tyrone said as Radmilo disappeared from his sight. He then raised his head and said, "Just like a flea."
Radmilo, on the other hand, jumped high into the air to avoid the scythe. He then took quite a distance from Tyrone as he landed. In his previous life, Tyrone was still the president of the IRO.
His performance was strong that he could keep his position. Tyrone did not appear to be involved in Radmilo's murder. He would use his Power Barrier to prevent Radmilo from using his power if he accepted the role.
Tyrone was one of the few people who did not perceive Radmilo's power as a threat. However, he never underestimated the power of others. He was a wise man who was cautious in his actions.
Therefore, Radmilo assumed Tyrone was not involved in the plan to kill him. The IRO president would have rejected the plan out of caution in case Radmilo was hiding other power from the people.
"Aren't you going to attack?" Tyrone asked from a distance, pulling Radmilo out of his thoughts.
Radmilo asked back instead, "Why don't you try it?"
Following that, there was a tense silence. Neither Radmilo nor Tyrone launched an attack. Radmilo was well aware that he would not benefit because Tyrone's scythe bore a death curse. On the other hand, Tyrone was analyzing what kind of person he was dealing with.
He could not be arrogant after what happened. The barrier could be entered by anyone, but those who entered could not use their powers. In fact, he had been anticipating this since many wanted to hurt him after he became IRO president.
However, Tyrone did not expect a monster to enter his barrier as well. He had heard that making contracts with monsters was not easy. That meant Radmilo was not an ordinary person. Monsters did not follow someone weak.
At the same time, a bodyguard saw the silence as an opportunity. His friends were not fast enough to stop him from shooting bullets at Radmilo.
"What are you doing?!" Someone from the bodyguard, who appeared to be the leader, dropped the gun from the first bodyguard.
Everyone's attention was drawn to Radmilo, who had managed to avoid the bullets. He then threw his dagger, which flew away to stab the bodyguard.
To avoid the attack, the leader managed to pull the bodyguard. But he was still too slow when another dagger blade stabbed into his friend's shoulder. As the dagger flew back toward Radmilo like a boomerang, he narrowed his eyes.
"Are you really a president?" Radmilo asked after catching his dagger.
The question was posed as satire because one of Tyrone's bodyguards defied his orders. Tyrone, on the other hand, did not express his displeasure with Radmilo's demeanor.
"I'm sorry about that," Tyrone said, looking at Radmilo's dagger. The masked man did not throw the dagger at him, as if he knew he could fend off the attack.
Meanwhile, Radmilo ignored the apology and attacked for the first time. He dashed towards Tyrone before leaping when he saw the direction of the scythe slash.
Tyrone was surprised by the sudden attack, but he quickly reacted. He moved in time to avoid the attack. After that, he began to analyze Radmilo's movements.
"Is your scythe not powerful?" Radmilo asked.
Tyrone realized Radmilo was attempting to bait him. He remained calm and began to strike back with his scythe. Radmilo ducked, then lunged at Tyrone, swinging his dagger.
As expected, the dagger was successfully blocked by Tyrone. For a moment, Tyrone was amazed that only a few people could match his speed.
His decision to use the scythe appeared to be correct. He was certain he would have been knocked back if he had used another weapon.
"This is my weapon," Tyrone stated, holding his scythe in both hands. "It has a death curse on it."
Radmilo spoke as he launched another strike. "I'm already aware."
Meanwhile, Tyrone parried Radmilo's dagger with his scythe. He spoke like before to get the response he wanted. It turned out that his guess was right, the masked man knew about the death scythe.
It was strange because only people in IRO knew about the weapon. He never disclosed it to the public. Nonetheless, he doubted if the masked man was a traitor in his organization.
Since he was expecting something more formidable, he remained cautious. He kept a close eye on Radmilo as he jumped at him again. This time, he made the calculations and kicked Radmilo in the stomach.
"Well done," Radmilo complimented his enemy as he was knocked back. He had to admit that Tyrone was incredibly fast, whether in the past or present.
As he continued to attack, his memory was carried over to the scythe. It was created by the collaboration of the greatest blacksmith and Daryl Green, another awakener who had similar power to Muramasa's.
Daryl's curse was so strong, that a normal weapon could not take it. For that reason, the blacksmith made the scythe. It weighed about two hundred kilograms because it was made from some of the strongest materials.
And such a heavy weapon could be swung easily by Tyrone. His body also appeared to move without any difficulty. It had shown everyone how fast he would be when not using the death scythe.
Radmilo tried to think of a strategy, but he was forced to stop. Tyrone had already analyzed him, which meant his opponent was confident of his victory.
"Your weapon and yourself are quite powerful," Radmilo said as he deflected another scythe slash. "But that's not enough to kill me."
Tyrone suddenly stopped attacking and spoke again. "We will see about that later."
"Yeah, we will see!" screamed Radmilo, leaping to his feet. A leather bullwhip appeared in his hand a moment later.
The rope of the whip moved quickly to bind the scythe, making Tyrone smile crookedly.
"Isn't this cheating?" Tyrone asked as he swung his scythe and the rope of the whip snapped.
However, the rope quickly grew back. Radmilo landed five meters away from Tyrone, a safe distance from the slash of the death scythe.
"I told you, the scythe isn't enough to kill me. Your scythe can do something else, right?"
Tyrone narrowed his eyes at Radmilo's words. His death scythe could indeed bring out the blade from the lower end.
He intended to use it for an offensive attack when he managed to control the battle. However, the surprise attack was useless since Radmilo already knew about it.
"Who are you?" asked Tyrone in a serious tone.
Radmilo laughed instead of answering. He felt deva ju because it was not only Tyrone who asked the question. And just as he had told others, he replied, "Me? I'm a human being."
Feeling that he would not get a real answer, Tyrone decided not to say anything more. He then drew the blade at the lower end of the scythe.
The blade was not a good thing as it had stabbed Tyrone in the leg several times while he was training. But still, he maintained the blade to create surprise attacks and increase the variety of his attacks.
"Are you serious about using a whip and dagger against me? Don't bite off more than you can chew."
Radmilo laughed softly then returned the whip to his inventory. This time, he took out a shield. "I was only trying it out. It turns out to be ineffective. Can we continue our fight? "
There was no answer. Tyrone was getting more serious than a while ago. He took off running, swinging the curved blade and the blade at the lower end alternately. When his attack failed, the blade at the lower end of the scythe frequently became stuck in the ground, causing cracks that the bodyguards and Zivile had to avoid.
The leader of the bodyguards realized there was something wrong with the masked man. He had contacted the people at the IRO to send Unit B of the security team to come help immediately.
However, he had to change his report because Radmilo was stronger than he had imagined. When he wanted to revise his report, a tail suddenly wrapped around his body.
"Can't you watch quietly?" Zivile whispered in the leader's ear. "I can fight you if you forget."
The bodyguards discouraged them from filing a new report. It seemed they would be watching the fight quietly, as Zivile had said, until they waited for the security team to arrive. Unit B would arrive any minute now.
