Chapter 221

Rey’s POV

As he finished his ranting, it made me suspect that my team managed to stop Barlog before they were captured, and I felt proud of them. Perhaps our efforts weren't wasted after all.

Now it is my turn to finish everything. "Let us meet then, stepfather," I said. "Blow against blow, battle without mercy, and the winner takes everything."

I raised the soul sword, and Ryan also raised his long, sharp blade, and we dashed at each other.

We meet in the middle, like rams, in a clash of arms. The clang of metal echoes throughout the forest as our blades meet, and fire sparks out.

Ryan was slashing at me, and I blocked each blow expertly. He would double his attack, then whack me with a strong, powerful blow that could destroy the realm. However, I counter everything. Each of us is well-matched against the other.

I sense that this battle was against light and darkness, and the winner will determine the fate of the realm.
