Chapter 721: I'm A Zompirewolf (2)

Well, it was only Rood engaging in combat. Jo'Han stayed rooted to his spot, waiting for Rood to land a successful hit. Sparks flew whenever Rood swung his blade at Jo'Han, but even with all his might, Rood's sword never reached even reached Jo'Han. 

"Enough playing for today," Jo'Han said, sporting his characteristic smile.

"How? How did you defeat me without even using your sword?" Rood said, panting and, on his knees, looking up at his mentor.
