He recognized his opponent immediately.
Frey didn't hesitate. He kept pushing forward, unleashing a flurry of strikes so intense that his blades seemed to dance in his hands.
Gavid met him blow for blow, matching his speed, deflecting each attack with calm precision.
"The one who crushed the army of a thousand… defeated Lawrence… overwhelmed Mergo… that was you, wasn't it?"
Gavid spoke evenly, revealing his aether blade as their clash intensified, sparks erupting as their weapons collided with ferocious power.
Aura clashed, flames burst from their swords, and they became locked in a cyclone of steel.
"You're strong, no doubt. But is this the power you used to defeat Mergo?"
Slash!
Activating his Phantom Form, Gavid let Frey's blades pass harmlessly through his body .. then slashed cleanly through Frey's chest with his aether blade.
Frey gritted his teeth as blood spurted from the gash.
"Looks like Mergo was drunk again…"
