"Hahaha….me losing," Jo Moriah laughed and said with full confidence."Hahaha....that is because there is no way I'm going to lose in a duel with you. Alright, do you agree or not?""
"No, I'll never be compromised if it comes to my family. It's either I kill you or you kill me." Jeremy replied with a firm tone.
"Exactly as I imagined the fearless Jeremy Bradford would never back down this easily. That leaves me with no other choice other than to..." Jo Moriah reached his hand inside the inner pocket of his overcoat and pulled out, holding something in it.
Jeremy was all alert, ready to strike at any time with his katana.
In contrast to his thinking, the Ogarian did not act or bring out any weapon; however, in his hand, he held a red hexagonal scale.
"Candle Dragon King's reverse scale!" Jeremy exclaimed in surprise.
"I think this belongs to you. You can have it back." Jo Moriah threw the red and thick circular scale at him.
Jeremy caught it in the air and re-examined it carefully using his super sensory ability and he was convinced that this was no doubt the reverse scale of the Candle Dragon King as this was not the first time seeing this as this actually belongs to his big brother. "This reverse scale is genuine," he whispered under his breath.
He then craned his head toward Jo Moriah and asked, "Who are you to have this in you and where did this come from?" There was still suspicion in the air surrounding his aura as he was still on alert to attack Jo Moriah, any second he made a sudden move.
"Jeremy Bradford, I know everything about you and your family…. Actually, you can say that I'm on your side and there is more to tell you. Alright, I'll start from that Candle Dragon's reverse scale." Jo Moriah replied calmly, and then he continued. "My best friend once gave it to me and strictly instructed me to pass it down to you in a very specific condition; when you are ready. Now, I'm going to seriously give it to you if you can last an hour in a duel with me."
"Do you mean my big brother when you say your best friend?" Jeremy asked, partly knowing what he was going to answer him.
Jo Moriah grinned at him in response, showing his golden teeth. "Alright, these things are all set up by me to test you and you just passed my first test."
"What did you mean?"
"Jeremy, your big brother, is my most cherished and best friend in this life. And I have been closely watching after you and your family all this time after your brother entered that strange wormhole. Before that, he gave me this scale to pass to you if you are ready to lead and become the next commander-in-chief of Sparta." Jo Moriah explained patiently. "Honestly, I am impressed with all you have accomplished since that incident and your dedication to your family... Did you think I'll harm my best friend's son? Initially, I might erase that lad's name from the hit list, but after considering it thoroughly, I take this opportunity to bring us all together. And here we are. Now, give it back to me for now." He then wiggled his supple fingers and the Candle Dragon King's Red Reverse Scale escaped from Jeremy's hand and streaked toward him, and he put it inside his pocket.
Jo Moriah totally convinced him this time since the only thing that held everything together was the red dragon scale, which represented the Secret troops of the Spartan, which was a secret group founded by his big brother and which he was a member of. His big brother couldn't hand over such a symbolic thing to anyone, so Jo Moriah was someone he considered trustworthy enough to be entrusted with it.
This time the killing intent keenly surrounding his body was retracted and Jeremy said. "Then what did I need to get that Dragon scale in my hand again?"
"As I said before, you must last for an hour of a duel with me to finish this last and final test. And I'll never go easy on you. Get ready," Then Jo Moriah shouted and pointed his index finger at him. "Lucent beam!"
The next instant, a white thick beam of light appeared abruptly from the sky, struck down over Jeremy's head.
Jeremy made a slicing motion with his katana, shouting. "Sky Breaking Strike!"
The next instant, a strong concentration of black energy was sent out from the katana toward the falling Lucent beam.
Their reactions were so sharp that it happened within a fraction of a second and the black sword energy cut the falling white beam in half, and the split beams kept falling, but their direction was diverted at a large angle and struck the icy ground around Jeremy.
Boom! Boom!
The impact of the energies caused two loud booming sounds, but they failed to even cause a single crack on the icy ground, showing that it was extremely hard ice.
"Since you're my Big Brother's friend, then I'll change my view on killing, but I will still teach you a great lesson: don't you ever even try to touch or plot using any of my family members again? Yes, for the record I'm still gonna kick your sorry arse!" Jeremy shouted out aloud in his mind and then he sheathed his katana, putting it back inside the scabbard and he yelped, "Penta focal Points Spatial law!" like a halo diagram of a white spherical ball of Penta colored rings representing 5 different elemental energies appeared just above his left hand. The five rings rotated rapidly in different orientations, making a ball.
"4th Law, Locking Position!" In the next instant, he disappeared from his current position, and he reappeared beside Jo Moriah and punched him on his back.
Bang!
His powerful fist landed on him and Jo Moriah's body exploded, leaving only a pool of red blood on the icy ground.
"Hah! Something is wrong. This is too easy." Jeremy muttered softly, with confusion. He then observed the blood and the exploded flesh of Jo Moriah and confirmed that they were true and there was no mirage. "No, he's not dead yet." He reminded himself.
At that moment, someone whispered in his ear, saying. "Jeremy, that skill you just used is so, so amazing. It truly kept me locked for one-by-three hundred of a second, stopping my body there. Unfortunately, you are too early to think that you have already won our first bout."
Jeremy reacted and made a quick uppercut, but Jo Moriah was even faster, as his body floated back as if the gravity had nothing to with his body. "Hahaha…. As expected of the little brother of my bosom friend. Then shall we start the fun?..." Jo Moriah laughed and shouted, "Lucent Beams! Come forth to your daddy's Order and keep raining down on him."
Like the last time, a thick and large white beam containing the purest lunar energy conjured in the sky and struck down upon Jeremy.
"First Law, Small Scale Teleportation!" Jeremy shouted, and one of the five rings of the spherical energy ball halo diagram just above his left hand in the air started rotating rapidly and the other four rings slowed down, halting.
The Lucent Beam strike was much faster than last time, and just as it was about to touch Jeremy's head, he disappeared and reappeared in another nearby spot.
But before he could retaliate, Jo Moriah raised his right hand high in the air and shouted, "Lucent Beams, rain over him!"
The moment his words containing the Origin Chi echoed in that place. Another lucent beam appeared, striking down at him.
Jeremy made another small-scale teleportation, again shifting to another region not much farther from the previous spot. This time, another white, thick, and large Lucent Beam containing the lunar energy struck down in his current spot.
"Ist Law, BackTrack Teleportation!" The rapidly rotating ring suddenly changed to rotate in reverse and the next moment he was standing in the previous place, he shifted his position from earlier and safely avoided the Lucent Beam
"Oh-ho-ho-ho, what a strange way of using the space law?! These must be one of your own created skills. Really, a sophisticated innovation indeed. Surprise me more." Jo Moriah praised him in his own way.
The Lunar beams from the sky kept striking Jeremy while he dodged them easily using just the first law of the Penta Focal Points Spatial Laws; almost all the time he used the Small-Scaled Teleportation and sometimes he used the BackTrack Teleportation as he could teleport back to one of the earlier five-position he had stood before.
"Alright then, let's hit this thing a bit here." Jo Moriah said, and he then glanced up at the sky and announced loudly. "Mark my words, I, Jo Moriah, hereby, summon you, come forth and shine before me, my dear darling Moon of this planet!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a black folding spot appeared in the sky, and a brightly shining moon appeared soon after.
Seeing that the sun in the sky was in his way, he shouted, "You are in my way, get lost, you stupid Sun" as if berating it.
In the next second, the Sun quickly vanished as if it was afraid that the man would be angry with it if it didn't follow him and the day quickly turned to night with the bright full moon shining in the sky.
Seeing that scene, Jeremy, who was currently dodging all those Lucent Beams, was dumbfounded, and he asked himself. "Is this for real? Seriously, big brother, who in the hell is this monster you befriended who can summon heavenly objects such as the sun and moon at will?" (.....Stay tuned, guys!)
