章節 164: Duel with Aoi Hiroshi

Klaus clashed with Aoi, their swords meeting in a sharp clang. Neither of them was using any active skills; it was a pure test of skill with their blades. Klaus felt the force behind Aoi's strike, but he didn't panic. Instead, he adapted for the second clash. When their swords met again, he found the force was more manageable this time.

Aoi lunged forward with her sword, aiming to stab him. Klaus sidestepped and parried her attack, using the momentum to twist his wrist and strike back. But Aoi was one step ahead; she moved her sword to block his attack. With a swift motion, she spun on her heel, her waist twisting gracefully as she struck forward.

This movement sent her long, silky brown hair swirling in the air, making her look even more enchanting. Klaus shook his head to clear his thoughts—he had to focus. Still, he couldn't deny that she had a certain charm.
