Bab 1317: Third Gaze

The world fell silent as the battle came to an unexpected end.

The bald man's broadsword was embedded halfway into the golden warrior's chest while he was cut cleanly in two pieces. His legs still stood rooted to the ground while his upper body scrambled left and right in a panic, dying itself in a beautiful shade of ruby red.

The silver warrior who had seen the last moments unfold knew exactly what had happened but he had neither the spirit nor the mindfulness to do anything about it.

His legs gave way under him and he fell back in a daze while shaking his head maniacally, "No no no that's not possible. No one looked into his eyes so how could it-it doesn't make sense!"

His gaze was pulled towards the stone doors where Hao Xuan still stood with Princess Ceni in his embrace...completely unharmed. His mouth fell open, "From the start...everything we saw was an illusion. We were just fighting each other."
