If such an opponent wasn’t qualified, then who was?
“Let me see then.”
Aldia drew his sword first.
“Let me see if you have the ability to force me to use my Unique Skill.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding air changed.
It became incredibly heavy.
The terrifying magic power, burning like magma within Aldia, was unleashed.
That magic power seemed to ignite the entire world, the temperature rising rapidly.
Shien, without hesitation, drew his Holy Sword.
“Clang—!”
At this moment, a massive broadsword suddenly slashed down from before Shien, striking the Holy Sword he had just drawn, creating a resounding clang like a bell.
A powerful gust of wind erupted.
The terrifying force shattered the ground beneath Shien’s feet.
Dust and debris exploded around Shien, rising like a sandstorm.
Aldia’s figure then appeared before Shien, maintaining his sword-slashing posture, confronting Shien.
This scene was exactly the same as when Shien and Lucy were fighting in the palace arena, and after their battle was stopped, Aldia suddenly attacked Shien.
The only difference was…
“You’ve become much stronger than before.”
Aldia looked at Shien, who had blocked his attack with the Holy Sword, his expression unchanged, even looking somewhat relaxed, not showing any signs of strain, and said these words.
Back then, although Shien blocked Aldia’s sword strike, he was almost injured by the impact and felt immense pressure.
And this time, Shien effortlessly blocked Aldia’s probing attack with just one hand.
Shien grinned.
“Speaking of which, we haven’t settled the score from that time yet.”
When these words reached Aldia’s ears, his pupils constricted.
Because a hand suddenly reached out from behind him and landed on his shoulder.
Shien’s figure appeared behind Aldia like a ghost.
“Just in time, let’s settle the score from that time.”
As these words reached Aldia’s ears, he shuddered, a sense of crisis rising in his heart.
“Clang—!”
Shien’s Holy Sword slashed down, mercilessly aimed at Aldia’s head.
“Boom!”
An explosive sound echoed in the plaza in front of the Buztout mansion.
A terrifying shockwave erupted there, creating a gust of wind and kicking up dust, as if an explosion had occurred.
“They’re fighting!”
“Earl Buztout and Marquis Elvenbein are fighting!”
The experts hidden in the shadows couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Aldia…”
Ancil also held his breath, his attention completely captured by the sudden battle, no longer caring about anything else.
“Roar!”
Yulin also rose into the sky, roaring excitedly as she watched the fierce battle.
In the plaza, amidst the storm of dust and debris, two figures, like meteors chasing each other, suddenly dashed out.
“Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang…!”
With a series of intense metallic clangs, the two meteor-like figures unleashed a flurry of sword strikes, the Holy Sword and the greatsword colliding at a terrifying speed.
Sparks flew with every collision.
Shockwaves erupted with every clash.
Shien and Aldia instantly entered a fierce battle, like thunder clashing against lightning, a needle against an awl, or even a meteor colliding with the earth, instantly erupting with astonishing power.
And in this fierce battle, the one who gained the upper hand first was Shien.
“Swish!” “Swish!” “Swish!” …
Shien’s figure not only moved as fast as a meteor, but also flickered like a phantom, appearing to Aldia’s left, then his right, then in front of him, then behind him, instantly creating countless afterimages, as if forming an army, relentlessly attacking Aldia.
“He can actually teleport…!?”
