The supreme sovereign system

Chapter 9 - Mark Of The Hunter



The 15 soldiers including Deferio were taken back after this declaration, they were only able to process it after 1 whole minute. They were enraged. Everyone turned their cold eyes to this lord of them.

"You have quite the big mouth for a useless prince" one of the soldiers couldn't resist anymore and Said what everyone was thinking.

In normal circumstances, Deferio would have slapped this soldier for insulting their lord, however, this time, he just reminded silent, his face didn't chance, but he was also furious.

"He betters apologies" Thought Deferio.

"Hoh? You have guts as big as the heavens to talk to your lord like this and you, Deferio, to actually allow this, are quite gutsy as well" Said Alfonso.

"However, my words won't change, I can tell you with certain, that any of you were training, you were at most, pretending to, the only one who was training was Deferio, however his training was ineffective" Said Alfonso without changing his expression.

"Oh? Then my lord wouldn't mind to giving us a lesson, right?" Said Deferio while chuckling looking at the right leg of Alfonso, the other soldiers also make a sly smile.

Alfonso only smiled slightly and walked in front of Deferio.

"I will ask you something, do you really think that, with this "training" you will be able to stop the horde?" Asked Alfonso.

Deferio and the soldiers were taken back, he only looked down without Saying anything, even Deferio didn't Say anything, he knew that stopping the horde was only an illusion.

"I won't talk too much since actions speak better than words, Artemis" suddenly Alfonso called for Artemis who was at his side still massaging her feed.

Artemis was about to Said something when she looked at Alfonso, they both stay silent and Artemis suddenly stood up and didn't say anything just staying beside Alfonso just like a soldier waiting for his orders.

"Deferio, you Said that you wanted a lesson, right? As you see, my leg is still healing so my friend here will entertain you, you don't mind right?" Said Alfonso with a calm smile.

Deferio looked at Alfonso and then at Artemis, this man with a delicate body actually wanted to fight with him, even if he won he wouldn't feel good about it!, Deferio was even pondering if this guy could actually lift a sword, however, after looking at the calm smile of Alfonso, he became curious, his lord didn't actually think that this fellow could win right?

"….. Very well then, let me choose you some equipment and a sword" Said Deferio.

"I don't need it, if you make me use my arc, then you can consider it your win" Said Artemis

Deferio was speechless once again, this guy had a huge mouth! This time, Deferio didn't hesitate anymore and went straight to the battle platform.

"I will make sure that you don't stay in bed for too long" Said Deferio.

"What a coincidence, I was just about to say the same" Said Artemis with her usual cold voice.

After that, Deferio grab his sword and went straight for Artemis. He was fast, as an ex-soldier, he has been in many battles, he was used to killing, even if he didn't want to, he had a special kind of "aura" went he grab a sword, one could see that he has killed a lot of men! However, Artemis just looked at him like she was looking a clown. Went Deferio was only a few inches away from her, her eyes tremble a little.

"Mark of the hunter" she murmured,

Then, when the blade was about to hit her, she moves her body to the right and with her delicate hand, she made a chop move with her hand right to the throat of Deferio, Deferio felt the danger and make a back jump. He was scared for a minute there, he felt if that hand actually hit his neck, he would have died!

"He isn't normal" though Deferio, then he grabs firmly the sword with his two hands and put a serious face.

"I underestimated you, I am sorry, for this moment, I will be serious" Said Deferio.

Artemis didn't say anything and stay still while looking at him.

Deferio make a long sight and move twice as fast as before then he made a long swing with the sword and went straight to the head of Artemis!

Artemis only looked at him.

"A bit interesting, a shame that the technique is not there" Said Artemis

When the sword was in just above her, she made a little jump to the front and, put her hands on the ground and make a kick that impact in the stomach of Deferio after that, with her other leg she jumped back and stood up.

Deferio was grabbing his stomach holding back the desire to thrown up, just as he was about to stood up, he felt a cool sensation, he looked up and saw Artemis holding his sword pointing straight at him.

"You have the strength, however, with that pathetic sword skills, you are just trash" Said coolly Artemis.

Deferio stood there without moving, he knew that he lost in quite the fashion, this impression of this guy make a complete turnaround.

"With this kind of ability he could be at a commander of a squad in of the immortal's battalion!" thought Deferio.

The other soldiers were also shocked, their mouths were so open that an egg could enter without issues, there was one more person that was also astonished and that was Alfonso.

"Impressive, as expected of a god, and she is only at the human level….. if she was at the semi-god level…." Alfonso couldn't image how powerful while be Artemis at that point.

"She said .. Mark of the hunter… if I am not wrong, that was one of her abilities, system can you show me that ability?" Said Alfonso

[Mark of the hunter: Artemis has a great understanding of her prey, she will "mark" and enemy and see the flaws in their moves, also this ability makes Artemis able to observe his prey at a range of 1000 meters!

At level one, Artemis is only able to use the mark of the hunter at two enemies.]

"!! Wow, that's quite the ability there" Thought Alfonso without changing his expression as this was an expected result.

Artemis didn't say anything else and left the sword in the ground and walk to side of Alfonso once more.
