章節 38: The Duel (2)

Suezel's eyes widened in awe as he beheld the walls of lava enclosing him. Grim determination set in as he gritted his teeth and lowered his sword, summoning a massive storm that pushed back the encroaching lava. However, as the chaos subsided, he discovered that Fray had vanished from his spot.

Turning around, Suezel scanned through the cracks in the tumult of lava and air, only to find nothing. Suddenly, a sense of danger gripped him, prompting him to look up. To his astonishment, the hatchet dashed towards him in a blurred motion, surrounded by swirling lava energy. Reacting swiftly, Suezel raised his long sword and managed to stop the hatchet.

"Ugh!!..." Suezel grunted through gritted teeth, thoughts racing in his mind. (Why is it so heavy!!)

Suddenly, Suezel's sword began to crack, leaving him momentarily stunned. Before he could even express his surprise, Fray materialized in front of him.
