Lucivar was mildly surprised when Renis suddenly emanated a dangerous air.
Normally, he looked tired and withdrawn, the picture of a lazy introvert—but that façade was gone.
Now, his silence cut like a blade, his slouched posture veiled a hidden strength, and his once-dull eyes gleamed with sharp calculation. It felt like Lucivar was facing another person—one who has immense experience in the way of fighting.
"Planning to end this in a duel is a mistake. I'll show you," Renis got into his fighting stance.
His short sword, dripping with dark energy, was right beside his face and pointed forward at Lucivar.
In the next second, he made the first move.
Clang!
Lucivar's dagger and Renis' short sword clashed, creating sparks that burst like a blooming flower.
And following that, the duo trade blow after blow.
