Chapter 91
Clang!
The surprise attack, occurring in a mere split second, was parried by the hilt of Bierbell.
Screeeech!
Khal pushed back Verde’s Kukri Dagger with one hand and spoke.
“I like your attitude.”
Milan, watching from the side, widened her eyes and tried to intervene.
“Bo-Both of you, please calm down! This is no time for you two to be fighting.”
“Stay out of this, Milan. I need to show this man, who doesn’t even know his place, the difference in our status.”
“B-But…”
“Since that’s the reason, don’t interfere.”
Khal expressed his agreement as well.
Thud!
Soon, the two leaped forward, clashing as they tore through the forest.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
It was Verde who took the initiative in the assault.
Verde’s Kukri Dagger traced large and small arcs, pressuring Khal without a moment’s rest.
Under the continuous onslaught, Khal was kept busy blocking the attacks with his scabbard, barely having time to draw Bierbell.
Khal’s eyes sharpened with newfound seriousness, surprised by the skill displayed.
‘I thought his archery was everything, but his close combat is no joke either.’
There was no waste in Verde’s movements; they were unfamiliar and even innovative.
Clang!
Whish!
As Khal parried the successive strikes, Verde released the Kukri Dagger from his hand with a blank expression.
“What?!”
He had simply let go naturally mid-swing, but the Kukri Dagger spun violently, distracting Khal’s vision.
