"Damn it!" the Warrior cursed loudly. Frustration could be heard in his voice!"No need to get discouraged! You still have two more chances!" Noah said.Outright, his words might sound like he was encouraging the masked Warrior, but in reality, it was a subtle form of mockery directed at his opponent."Be quiet! Stop your babbling!" the Warrior shouted, only to be met with a nonchalant response from Noah.The Warrior was not only irritated and frustrated because he had failed on his first attempt. Deeper inside, fear began to creep into his heart. Fear that he might not be able to shoot any better than his first attempt.The shadow that his subordinates might begin to look at him differently also began to appear in the Warrior's mind.After shaking his head a few times to dispel these negative thoughts, he took the second arrow and adjusted his shooting angle again.From his first attempt, he knew there were things he could learn.After adjusting the bowstring tension, the Warrior rel
"Stupid fool! Do you think you'll look cool by saying that? Not at all! Not even close! You'll only make yourself look even more foolish!" the Warrior said, laughing louder than before.Behind him, the other masked Warriors laughed just as heartily.Noah paid no attention to their behavior. Calmly, he walked towards the black box.With just one glance, he could decide which type of bow he would use. This time, his choice surprised not only the masked Warriors, but also all the citizens of Tectona!The youth chose a long bow, a traditional bow that was the least accurate of all the other types of bows. What's more, instead of choosing iron-tipped or steel-tipped arrows like the masked Warrior, Noah chose something completely different.He chose an arrow made entirely of wood!This left the masked Warriors speechless with confusion for a moment. They seemed incredulous at Noah's actions. However, within a few seconds, their laughter erupted again."Is he really that clueless? He doesn't
Elsewhere in the Mayor's complex.The battle between Aaron and Brian continued.After withstanding Brian's attacks twice, Aaron was able to confirm that the young man's strength was indeed equal to his own.He also began to admire Brian's techniques.The Dragon Strike is one of the core ultimate moves of the Masked Warriors. Not only does this strike have powerful offensive and explosive power, but Brian doesn't need to move his body to perform this technique. All he has to do is direct his hand where he wants, and the giant dragon's shadow will follow the direction of his hand.But that's not his main concern."If I let this young man continue to launch long-range attacks like this, it will be dangerous for this complex!"Yes! Aaron was worried about the effects of their battle on the surrounding buildings.Aaron did not know that all the residents of each building had been evacuated. So when he saw the buildings shaking violently, his first thought was to stop Brian's attacks.Espec
When his foot touched the tip of Brian's hair, a powerful golden-yellow aura radiated from the young man's body.Next, his body seemed to transform into a giant dragon, with Aaron's kick only hitting a single part of its body.Boom!Once again, there was an inevitable loud explosion.Due to the impact, Brian only took a few steps back while Aaron's body was thrown back dozens of meters and landed hard on the ground, sending dust flying into the air.After a moment, Aaron felt unimaginable pain. Muscles and bones in his body felt crushed.Moreover, he had already suffered severe internal injuries before this attack. With this collision, he felt that his body was becoming increasingly difficult to move.Spurt!Apparently, the old man's internal injuries were severe, because he coughed up blood several times. However, even with such severe internal injuries, he still tried to force himself to look at Brian.Aside from being curious about how the young man had transformed into a giant dra
But Brian did not respond to Edward's plea. He continued to move forward, getting closer to Aaron.Realizing that Brian was ignoring his plea, Edward crawled over to Brian and knelt at the young blond man's feet."Please forgive my grandfather, I beg you! You can take my life in return!"Though Edward spoke these words, they did not move Brian's heart in the slightest. Instead, the core members of the Masked Warriors looked at him with disgust."Begone!" Brian said, waving his foot where Edward's hands were holding him. His expression remained unchanged. He wanted to continue the duel as agreed upon with Aaron.On the other side, when Aaron saw his grandson kneeling on the ground, he felt a mixture of emotions.On the one hand, he felt pain in his heart. For a nobleman like him, it was a shameful disgrace to have a member of his family bow to someone else.In all his decades of life, he had never allowed himself or his family to beg so low.Aaron wanted to stop Edward, but his lips we
The two girls lowered their heads at the same time, embarrassed by the names they had called each other.After a while, Archie opened her sweet lips again. "We don't have much time. Can you tell me what to do?"As she spoke these sentences, Archie's tone and body language seemed to Laura more like that of an older sister than a friend.Archie became like this because she now knew that Laura felt the same way about her. Therefore, she was confident that the Davenmert girl would not plan anything bad or dangerous against her."Alright!" Laura said briefly, nodding her head. Her tone and expression also showed that she was beginning to care about Archie.Laura then told the story of how her grandfather, Alfonso, got involved with the Masked Warriors. "It all started with this object," she said, showing a mask with special carvings, one of the highest symbols of the group.The girl then explained that she had to do something for the group to save her grandfather and her family. "Brian has
What?That's impossible!Not only Aaron, but all the Tectona Warriors in the area widened their eyes when they heard what Brian had just said.Asking for Archie? Isn't that the same thing as letting the events of twenty years ago happen again?Tectona had suffered the shame of the past decades because they hadn't been able to solve that case. Now, a similar case would happen again, and they would just keep silent without doing anything? Of course, that was impossible!"Bring the girl here, and I will consider Mr. Amaro's life debt to me repaid!" Brian said firmly.According to Tectona's rules, forgiving one's opponent in a Blood Duel created a sort of "debt" to the defeated party, allowing the victor to demand something from them.That something could be anything from possessions to services, maybe even a family member!So if Brian asked Aaron for Archie, the old man would have to give her up unless he allowed Brian to kill him.Hearing the request, Aaron's chest tightened even more.
What really happened to Daniel?To find out the answer to that question, we have to go back a while, before Aaron and Brian had a blood duel between them.A few minutes earlier.When Brian started a cunning ploy to make people think that Daniel was working with him, serving the Masked Warrior, young Elrod realized one thing."If he succeeds in inciting everyone with his convincing act, it will be even harder for me to regain their trust!"Daniel is not someone who depends on the approval and good treatment of others. Not at all!He didn't care if people underestimated him or treated him badly. But he would never want to be accused of something he didn't do.Besides, if he wanted to restore their trust in him, he'd have to reveal the real truth: that Edward is not worthy of the title of Esquire Tectona.Therefore, while watching Aaron and Brian duel, Daniel's mind continued to think of ways to get himself out of this difficult situation.At that moment, his phone rang and a familiar me
