Chapter 1109: War Noble Duel

There was a saying about hesitation. 

Tycon's disappointed voice echoed in his head whenever he did-- which was far too often.

"Sorry, everyone. This is my fight."

All his friends were willing to help-- that was more than enough to give him the confidence he needed. 

He was pretty sure that facing Tycon in single combat was the right thing to do.
