Bab 79: Chapter 79: Duke of Wealth

....

Although Duke Ashborn was unable to see Raven, his sword was honed in on Raven's position with uncanny precision, guided by the faint rhythm of Raven's heartbeat and the subtle sound of his breathing.

With a sudden appearance before Raven, Duke Ashborn thrust his sword directly towards the beating heart of his own son. However, confusion spread across his face as his sword stubbornly refused to advance, halted as if an unseen force had grasped its tip, stopping its progress.

The Duke was astonished by the swift reaction of the unknown person. Yet, this was merely the beginning of the surprises that awaited him. In the blink of an eye, he witnessed crack spreading across his sword, causing it to shatter into countless shards right before his eyes.

The unexpected turn of events almost caused him to lose his footing, but he managed to steady himself just in time.
