Lyon stared at the wound on his forearm for a while before turning to face Daru again.
The Sunblade King's lips curled into a faint smile for a second before turning into a frown in the next, pointing his longsword at the human bladeborn:
"Hmph, fine then, I shall acknowledge your skills, hu– rebel!"
Daru's eyes sparkled after hearing the words, and the grin on his face turned into a smile.
"Haha, it's my honor, king! Now, don't hold back and give me your best shot!"
"Don't regret this now, rebel!!"
In the next moment, Lyon slashed with all his strength.
The winds trembled and tore as a light-golden, diagonal crescent shot forth, aiming to split Daru's body into two.
But he easily dodged with a somersault, counterattacking with a red crescent of his own, though significantly smaller than his opponent's.
Lyon was once again caught off guard, suffering a clean strike to the chest.
The king staggered a step backward.
