Chapter 2027: Crystalline Edge

Ryu only looked Adlael in the eye for a moment before he ripped all of his Fate out of his body, incorporating it into himself and then tossing the man's corpse to the side without a care in the world. 

He looked down at the ring in his palm, his gaze flickering. Time slowed down around him and then ground to a halt. In that moment, his thinking accelerated and it was as though he had entered a completely isolated space where others couldn't react to his speed, and yet he also couldn't interact with them. 

Regardless, he had no intention of trying to interact with them in the first place. His only goal was to deal with the ring in his hands. 

Ryu scanned through the entire ring until he found it. With a thought, the sword appeared in his hands and he was taken aback by what he was seeing. 

It was a sword formed with a blue, crystalline edge… forged of a material he had most definitely seen before.
