Count Phalantzâs duel challenge was met with a nod from Ghislain.
"A duel, you say... I'll accept."
Phalantz bit his lip at Ghislainâs nonchalant response. Even though the tone was aggravating, the mere possibility of victory offered a glimmer of hope.
That arrogant whelp might have garnered fame recently, but Phalantz didnât believe for a second that he was strong enough to defeat him.
After all, Phalantz had been one of the kingdom's strongest Masters long before this upstart had even made a name for himself.
Beside Ghislain, Belinda whispered softly.
"Why not just crush him outright? Why bother with a duel?"
"No one can stop you, can they? Well, at least this keeps the others safe."
Her words carried confidence in Ghislainâs victory.
Hearing this, Phalantz exhaled sharply. The casual demeanor of both Ghislain and Belinda filled him with rage.
"Arrogant fools... Do you think so little of me?"
"Itâs not that I think little of you," Ghislain replied with a smirk. "I just donât see myself losing."
"Yes, your arrogance is well-known. Today, Iâll teach you some humility."
Swoosh!
