Fenrir stood silently beside him like a loyal executioner.
Hai's expression darkened.
Rowan lifted his blade calmly.
Then he spoke, his voice almost casual.
"Because I plan to behead him…"
Rowan's eyes narrowed.
"…right after I behead the one I am facing now."
Hai's aura surged violently.
He gritted his teeth.
Then he vanished.
In the next instant, Hai rushed forward, slashing straight toward Rowan's neck.
Rowan didn't even look surprised.
He was still talking.
He raised his sword casually.
CLANG!!
The attack was blocked.
Rowan didn't even turn fully.
He blocked it like it was nothing.
Like Hai was an annoyance.
Rowan kept speaking.
"I'm going to have some fun before I end this one."
He pushed forward.
Hai was forced back slightly in midair.
Their swords collided again.
CLANG!
Again.
CLANG!
Again.
Hai's eyes widened.
Rowan was still calm.
Still composed.
Still speaking like he wasn't even in a fight.
