Chapter 63
“The pride of our village! Hauka, win!”
“Tarutan! Show that tall guy your bravery!”
Dojae moved to the spectator seats prepared for the participants.
The first match between Hauka and Tarutan was about to begin, allowing him to gauge their skill level.
Indeed, how do the Grey Elves fight? And what sets them apart from humans?
“Both fighters, please take the Oath of the Forest!”
Standing on the arena, Hauka and Tarutan raised both hands above their heads as instructed by the referee and began to murmur.
Later, he learned the meaning of this act. The Oath of the Forest was a noble custom, common to all elves, pledging to uphold their vows to their forest and their gods.
“Now then, let us begin the first match. Start!”
Waaah-!
With the referee’s signal, an explosive roar erupted from the stands.
Simultaneously, Hauka and Tarutan charged at each other, swinging their swords.
Clang! Clang!
Their blades clashed, producing a sharp metallic ring.
The spectators trembled as they watched the two clash swords with full force from the very start.
“That Tarutan guy, his strength is no joke!”
“Hauka’s no pushover either. He’s not just tall!”
Both Hauka and Tarutan wielded swords.
Thick, heavy, massive swords.
Gray Elves, with their superior physical condition compared to humans, preferred swords with that kind of thickness.
Clang!
Clang!
Their skills were evenly matched.
Their swordsmanship was equally matched, and they displayed a dazzling battle with the light, swift movements characteristic of Grey Elves.
