章 699: The Next Enemy

A blink later, they saw Luis had his sword raised, shielding against another man's sword. What's more? The blades were both on fire.

"OH? Same type, eh?" The man said, grinning as he showed off his yellow teeth. Luis almost barfed at his bad breath.

Fortunately, he managed to shakily maintain his defense as the man increased his power. 

Swish! 

Luis was pushed back further until his back hit a tree. The stranger grinned and increased his fire more, a little bloodthirsty, but paused when he felt a blade on his neck.

"I advise you to back off," Sammy said, pointing right at the man's head. He added a wind element and the breeze made the man's eyebrows rise. 

"Eh…" 

The three went on a standstill, with tension so palpable the bystanders could almost touch it. 

The fighters were prepared to intervene and rescue at a moment's notice while the civilians shivered in fear, thinking they made a mistake for coming on this journey.
