Aldred looked at Pharder who's eyes were open yet there was no life inside. Pulling his blade, Aldred sighed as he looked at the corpse. The wind blew, but it didn't bring his heavy feeling away.
He was slightly confused. Pharder had been his enemies for a long time, and he yearned to kill him. He was also enraged to find out that the old man was killed by Pharder.
And yet, he still felt empty inside. The victory was too easy to obtain.
"Haish, I shouldn't be too dramatic about this. I killed my enemy, now is time for the next step."
"Is everything done, Aldred?" Stella appeared out of thin air.
She had stayed hidden far away because Aldred wanted to fight Pharder alone. Stella was fine with that since she understood that Aldred had bad blood against him.
Aldred nodded. "Where are the others?"
"They are in a safe place. This war is dangerous for everyone. Since they are not Diamond Ranks yet, they have to keep hiding."
