Chapitre 552: It Worked!

"That was definitely a nice exchange you had there. I was almost disappointed when you gave up," Setkh said with a tilt of the head and nuanced smile.

"Really? Glad to hear it," Skullius said as he sat on the couch and took a breath.

Everyone else sat down on separate seats except for Yuyui who sat on Skullius' couch's armrest.

"I understand why you gave up though, all things considered. In all honesty landing a blow on someone a full Stage above you is an incredible feat on its own but... have you thought about investing in armour? I'm sure that special sword of yours is Legendary grade and it wouldn't do to bring another treasure of that level to the Royale but what you needed to continue fighting was replenishment of your energy, wasn't it?" Setkh asked.

He was only partly right.

'Hmph. Does everyone think Demion's Dance is a Legendary grade item? Whatever, that serves me well either way,' Skullius thought, not bothering to correct Setkh.
