Silence.
Shock.
Disbelief.
At the very moment the woman introduced himself, such emotions enveloped the entirety of Valyr's mind as he thought about the odds of this current situation happening.
'First, it was Sven. Then, it was Arcaelus,' thought Valyr to himself.
'And now, exactly on the fight after Arcaelus, I'm put up against the High Priestess of the Eternal Flame.'
Of course, the only reason why the young man would have been shocked to silence was the fact that the woman before her was incredibly familiar, just like the two he had fought against before.
However, unlike the previous two, which were great blacksmiths in their own right, Nila was a cut above the rest.
After all, she came from the highly renowned Hephaista clan.
'Is this some sort of sick joke the Gates of Awakening is trying to pull on me?' muttered the young man inwardly, still feeling a hint of disbelief at his current situation.
