Gabriel stood before Izen, holding a demonic red sword. The sword had a strange red luminescence as if it had been bathed in blood many times before, only to now belong to Gabriel.
"The Sword of Ulien, also known as the bloodthirsty sword which can even slice through the hardest of metal without any trouble." Izen nodded without much surprise at the sight of the Sword. "Not a bad Sword, but I'm afraid it belongs to the Academy. You'll have to return it."
He didn't have a hard time recognizing the sword since it was discovered by him in the first place. He was the person who personally placed that Sword in the Museum of Elements.
Gabriel held the sword's hilt firmly. He couldn't defeat Izen with his spells, but Izen could still use his spells on him. That meant he was fighting a Magician as a Swordsman. If that were the only problem, he still would've been fine with it, but that was the least of it.
