Bab 101: Chapter 101: Raven's Mercy

Even his treasure sword started developing cracks just by blocking a single attack from Arthur. 

"I know your origin. But to save my people, I am willing to take the risk!" Arthur exclaimed as he seriously engaged in a battle. With every strike, he pushed Duke Ashborn back. 

....

The clash between Arthur and Duke Ashborn intensified as they fought with all their might. 

Each strike from Arthur pushed Duke Ashborn back, but Duke Ashborn's power and magic were formidable. The air crackled with energy as their swords clashed, creating sparks that illuminated the hall.

Meanwhile, Cynthia watched the battle unfold in disbelief. She had hoped that Arthur would choose to believe her and attack Raven instead, but it seemed that Arthur's determination to save his people outweighed everything else. 

He was willing to believe Raven, even if there was only a small chance that he was going to let the city live.
