Rising of a New Reaper

Chapter 10: King Arthur



"So that's where you've been Caliburn." Said Arthur as he appeared.

The sword in Strat's hand glowed as if it said something. Strat looked at the sword and wiped so dirty off of it.

"Looks like your here. Well as I promised we'll duel. But let me heal you back." Said Arthur.

Divine healing

A white light enveloped Strat. After the light dispersed he was all healed up and his cybernetics plus his armor was repaired. He turned back to his normal self and started to speak to Arthur.

Strat looked at the sword Caliburn.

"So your giving me this... Sword?" Strat questioned.

Arthur brought out his sword, Excalibur. He then pointed it towards Strat.

"Sebastian Vasquez, in accordance to trials I gave you. If you defeat me in this no chivalry, and no rule fight you will inherit Excalibur and Caliburn. But if you lose you shall be executed and never return to the living. Do you accept this?" Said Arthur

My old self emerge and answered his request.

" I accept." Strat responded.

Arthur then jumped forward towards Strat. He immediately hit him with a slash. Strat immediately went into Overdrive and activated Caliburn. Time stopped. Strat tried to escape his blade but ended up getting slashed.

Arthur then made some distance and looked at Strat as prey. Strat tried to keep his composure so his old self doesn't come out. He then tried to close the distance but Arthur kept getting more distance. Strat was about to lose his composure on the amount of times he wasn't able to get close.

Arthur then darted forward and kept throwing attacks. Strat was just fast enough to block them. Arthur then made Excalibur disappear and started to throw hands.

Even though Arthur wore heavy armor, he acted like it didn't even slow him down.

"You defeated Lancelot who was on par with me, so what's wrong. Can't you attack more efficiently." Questioned Arthur.

He then made Excalibur appear again and slashed Strat once more.

" Or shall I send you Scáthach, to train you?" He questioned again.

Strat never once answered. But he felt a chill go down his spine when he mentioned Scáthach.

" I never tried this attack but I'll show you it. But be ready to be disappointed." Spoke Strat.

I am the father of the Reapers, you shall be my right hand once more, show me the powers you possess, let the world know that he's back,

Reapers Scythe

Strat sudden felt that the power started to intergrate with Caliburn as if it was meant for it. Caliburn then switched Strat's mindset to the one when he fought the knights of the round. Strat disappeared and appeared behind Arthur. He then made Caliburn disappear. Strat put Arthur in a head lock and had Caliburn stab the both of them.

Blood suddenly came out of Arthurs mouth. His blood came over Caliburn which made Caliburn suddenly glow whiter.

"Motherfucker! CALIBURN STOP THIS NOW OR YOUR GOING TO FACE MY TRUE STRENGTH ONCE MORE!" Yelled Arthur.

The sword ignored the warnings and fully integrated with Arthurs blood. Arthur immediately took out the sword and threw Strat over his head. Strat immediately felt something come into him.

Caliburn came to Strat's hands.

"So this was what you were after. My holy factor is now flowing into this man's blood." Said Arthur to Caliburn.

Caliburn glowed in Strat's hand as if it said yes. Arthur then raised his sword and chanted some words.

Oh holy sprit, heed my call once more to kill another that now has my holy factor, let him know that our combined powers will overcome.

EXCALIBUR!

A bright light enveloped Arthur in which then showed him in white armor and white wings. He had a shield on one hand and Excalibur in the other.

Caliburn then infused into Strat's armor and created Strat his new black armor with his dark metallic wings out. A black shield and Caliburn itself came into the hands of Strat.

Arthur went again towards Strat to end this battle fast but he blocked his attack. Strat smashed his shield into Arthurs side. Arthur dropped to the ground. He let go of Excalibur and threw a punch at Strat in which he dodged.

Strat went for an attack. Arthur blocked it. He grabbed Excalibur and started to attack relentlessly. Strat struggled with the speed that Arthur was attacking. Strat manage to block some of the attacks but others landed.

The batlle seemed to favor Arthur. Strat blocked on of the attacks and immediately kicked Arthur in the stomach. Strat tried to deploy his cybernetics but couldn't. Caliburn glowed and sent information into his head.

Heavenly Father, grant me your strength once more, show that King Arthur is nothing to the people, show him that the people have a new hero, eliminate his presence once again, let it be known that Morgan Le Fay is at yout service.

CALIBURN OVERDRIVE

The spirit of Morgan Le Fay appeared above as if about to enter batlle. Strat raised Caliburn as it transformed into a replica of Excalibur. The blade was much longer than the original and the shield no longer was there.

Go on my young wielder

Strat mustered up all his strength and went for Arthur. Strat went for a final attack to Arthur.

CALIBURN !

Strat went for his final attack and was able to defeat Arthur when he was on the ground. He sword went through him.

"So this is my end. I got one more thing to say. Your worthy of my sword Excalibur and Morgan's Caliburn. Take them and never let go of them." Said Arthur before disappearing.

A screen appeared in front of Strat.

[Congratulations on defeating Arthur. You have obtained Excalibur and Caliburn]

The screen soon disappeared and left me alone. I heard the voice of Athens subordinate.

So was your who was your first battle

"Though it was a tough battle I successfully was able to get Excalibur with the bonus of Caliburn." He responded.

Well that's good. But it's time for your reward from the mission.
