Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) Chapter 2609

Jericho’s tone turned cold. “What kind of dirty trick are you trying to pull now? Andrew, I’d suggest you stop digging your own grave.” Andrew frowned impatiently. “So what, you want me to shout it out loud? If someone else hears and gets there first, don’t come crying to me when Swordhaven Keep loses it.” Jericho was irritated, but he knew Andrew was not wrong. Onyx and Ivory said calmly, “Sir, go ahead. If he dares to try anything funny, we’ll cut him down before he even moves.” Jericho took a deep breath and stepped closer to Andrew. Andrew smirked.

“So you are afraid of dying, huh? If I’d known you were such a coward, I wouldn’t have bothered with you earlier.” Jericho sneered. “Don’t worry. Youll pay for that sharp tongue soon enough.” When he got close, Andrew lowered his voice. “The sword is… actually, forget it. I’ll take you there myself.” Jericho’s face turned red. “You!” —- Rage boiled inside him. He wanted to tear Andrew apart piece by piece. Andrew chuckled, patted his shoulder, and said, “Relax, man. I was just kidding with you. Come on.” Without waiting for a reply, he headed straight back toward Swordhaven Keep.

Onyx and Ivory exchanged puzzled looks before glancing at Jericho. Jericho’s face was dark as he growled, “Follow him. He wants to lead the way himself.” They turned and silently followed Andrew, though both of them looked uneasy. Jericho could feel his blood boiling; Andrew was playing him like a fool. When they returned to Swordhaven Keep, Andrew walked straight toward his quarters. Jericho snorted. “I’ve already torn your place apart. Whatever trick you’re trying to pull now, it’s useless.” Andrew’s voice was icy. “Oh yeah?

Then I wonder if you checked the roof.” —- Jericho froze for a second, then said nothing. He had not checked the roof. Andrew leaped up, pried off a few tiles, and pulled out a massive sword. Everyone watching, Onyx, Ivory, Jericho, and his brothers, and even the keep’s men, instantly held their breath. Alfredo’s laughter echoed from above. “That was easier than I thought! Hand it over, and you can die afterward.” Andrew gripped the sword tightly, feeling the pulse of excitement radiating from it. It wanted to fight, and it wanted blood. Just like him.

He ran a finger along the blade and whispered, “Buddy, it’s your time to shine.” Then, to everyone’s shock, Andrew turned and dropped to one knee. “Mr. Topsfield Senior, please, take the sword,” he said. Alfredo landed on the roof, surprised. “Huh, looks like you finally know your place. Fine, like I said, I’ll let you die with your body intact.” —- He laughed loudly and reached for the sword, completely confident that Andrew could not pull anything off against his overwhelming power. Alfredo did not notice the sudden flash of murder in Andrew’s lowered eyes.

In one swift motion, Andrew swung the sword upward. Alfredo’s image shattered in midair, only to reform high above. “I knew you wouldn’t surrender that easily, but you’re still way too green to play games with me.” Andrew gripped the sword and leaped off the roof. Before he even landed, he swung twice, the air exploding as the strikes crashed toward Onyx and Ivory. The two elders did not yet know the full extent of the Godslayer’s terror. With a furious roar, they crossed their blades, weaving a dense net of steel to block his attack.
