Dante had read a few novels back in the day, so Klent's situation actually seemed pretty cliche when he thought about it. In fact, Dante was slightly embarrassed that it took him this long to figure it out.

A previous genius that had lost all his talent

The random change into a mind-boggling talent 

The strange fate changing treasure that was always carried around with him.

Considering how cliche Klent's situation was, If Klent didn't have A spirit grandpa with him, Dante would be surprised!

As Dante was thinking all this, sword master Rho started laughing 

"haha! Seeing as you are still staying silent, I'm guessing that this wasn't something told to you by the heavens. Besides if this was told to you by the heavens, shouldn't we also know your secret by now?"

"But with this, I can't help but wonder. What possible secret is allowing for your talent and also allowing for you to know all this?"

hearing Sword master Rho's question, Dante couldn't help but lightly chuckle as he smiled 

"I'm sorry, but it's a secret."

As Sword master Rho heard Dante speak, he couldn't help but chuckle 

"Boy, Don't you know sometimes keeping secrets can get you killed?"

"Hahaha!" Laughed Dante 

"That may be the case for others, but it certainly isn't for me."

Suddenly the smile on Sword master Rho's face vanished as he lightly tapped his rusty sword.

As he did so, the sword seemed to go berserk and, in doing so, caused all the rust that was previously coating the sword to fall off.

As The rust fell off, a magnificent golden sword with countless mystical inscriptions was shown. The Sword was so magnificent that both Dante's dragon souls started acting up, urging him to claim it at any cost.

But Despite all this, Sword Master Rho seemed to ignore Dante's reactions as he continued speaking in a much colder tone.

"You sure do know how to talk boy. I just hope your mouth can be as sharp after today!"

As Sword master Rho said this, he swung his sword, causing a large swarm of golden energy to hurl towards Dante.

'tch'

Seeing this shocking sight, Dante scowled as he slammed his feet into the ground, hurtling out of the way of Sword master Rho's devastating attack.

"Dragonification!" Cried Dante 

instantly, two streams of energy, one crimson red and one a cool silver, started cooling around Dante as scales started popping out of his skin.

Dante knew he could afford to underestimate his opponent.

If all the novels that he had read could be used as a point of reference, then no spirit grandpa was ever a person to take lightly.

Strictly speaking, these guys were often protagonists in their own right, almost all having terrifying and unbelievable feats to their names.

And when you added that to the countless years of knowledge and combat experience these guys usually had, they were truly almost unbeatable monsters!

But even when faced with such a terrifying opponent, Dante wasn't without hope.

Sword master Rho still had a weakness and that weakness was Klent!

The current Klent was simply no match for Dante.

Dante was ahead of Klent in terms of just pure cultivation, and if you add on the boost and abilities gained from his dragon souls, to put him and Klent in a fight to the death was just simply unfair.

The current gap between them was so large Dante could probably defeat Klent in just a few rounds.

And just because Sword master Rho was possessing Klent's body didn't mean things had suddenly changed.

Sure, Sword master Rho's sword mastery was light years ahead of Klent's and he would probably also know some terrifying secret techniques.

But he still couldn't magically change the body he was inhabiting.

He was still inhabiting Klent's body, so he would still be sharing some of the same weaknesses, mainly Klent's lack of brute strength.

Sure, Dante would get absolutely curb-stomped if it was a pure contest of skill, but if he could just change that into one of brute strength...

He probably stood a chance of winning this fight!

With these thoughts in mind, Dante didn't waste any more time thinking about a plan.

He had to act now!

Drawing the moonlight sword from his back, Dante activated his movement technique and dashed towards Sword master Rho.

But Sword master Rho wouldn't just watch as Dante rushed towards him.

With a cold expression on his face, Sword master Rho casually swung his arm, causing a swarm of golden sword energies to rush towards Dante.

Seeing this overwhelming wave of Golden light rushing towards him a mad gleam seemed to shine in Dante's eyes.

Dante didn't back down as his moonlight sword burst into blinding silver light.

Without slowing down, Dante swung his sword across his body, causing a humongous cross of silver light to head towards Sword master Rho

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A dazzling light show of gold a silver went off in the forest as a cloud of smoke started to cover the battlefield

Suddenly, the smoke seemed to stir as Dante burst out from behind, swinging down on the unsuspecting Sword master Rho! 

But instead of the normal panic you would expect to see on an ambushed individual, Sword master Rho merely sneered as he spoke

"Fool." Said Sword Master Rho.

And Just before Dante could reach him, Sword Master Rho lightly tapped his sword without even sparing looking behind him

"Sword Hymn."

Suddenly the melodious chimes of a bell could be heard throughout the forest.

And as all this was happening sword seemed to vibrate madly as Dante saw a powerful shockwave head out towards him

Before Dante could even react, he suddenly felt his body shudder as the sound wave passed straight through him.

Unable to put up any resistance, Dante was sent flying back from the attack whilst his body rag-dolled in the air before landing on the ground with a heavy thud.

But as he was getting up to continue his attack, Dante suddenly felt himself coughing heavily into his hand.

After recovering and looking at his hand, Dante could see it was completely covered in blood.

Originally, Dante felt he could casually walk of Sword master Rho's attack, but now it seemed like the attack had left more hidden damage than Dante had originally expected.

'Interesting.' Thought Dante as he assessed the damage to his body.

'It seems this fight is going to be a bit harder than I originally thought.'

As Dante thought this, a slight smirk appeared on his face.

But as Dante looked up, he could see Sword master Rho staring down on him with a similar smirk.

"Tch!" Scowled Dante in irritation.

Dashing around Klent once more.

Seeing this sight, Sword Master Rho lightly chuckled as he spoke

"There's no point in running around little boy. nothing you do can change the outcome of this fight."

Dante didn't pay attention to the ramblings of Swordmaster Rho.

He knew that someone of sword master Rho's experience wouldn't be stupid enough as to talk nonsense during a battle.

If he was saying anything it was definitely meant to try and provoke Dante. And if Sword Master Rho felt the need to get in Dante's head and throw off his game, then that meant there was at least a chance of him winning this fight.

no matter how small it was, a chance was still a chance and Dante would fight with everything that he had!

Dante dashed around dancing between the countless beams of sword energy Sword master Rho sent his way.

But just as soon as Dante was entering the melee range of Sword Master Rho, the only range in which he could be considered a true threat, the loud chimes of a sword would ring out causing a devastating sound wave to pass through Dante and shaking his organs.

As if this wasn't bad enough, the attack seemed to have a stunning effect as after the sound wave passed through his body, Dante noticed that his body continued to move sluggishly for a few seconds after.

Fortunately, due to Dante's rather strong physique,  he could quite easily tank a few attacks as these sound waves weren't quite strong enough to put him out commission just yet.

The Major problem to Dante was that the constant stunning effect of the sound attack was preventing him from getting close and dealing any actual damage to Sword Master Rho
