The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor



Slowly, Rudy noticed that he was becoming more and more like Fane. He slowly understood why Fane was always so calm, and why none could get to his head.

Fwoop! Fwoop! Fwoop!

Countless rainbow-colored feathers viciously slammed onto the surface of the stage. Fane barely managed to avoid them all.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

He looked up at the Thousand Feathered Beast in the sky, noticing its sharp eyes still looking right at him. Even though it showed no emotions, the intense killing intent coming from it washed over Fane like a wave.

"Is he only good at evading? It's been a while, but he's been dodging! Why isn't he fighting back?! Has he given up on even fighting back because he knows he'll lose?" "Who knows what this kid is thinking.

Does he think that the Thousand Feathered Beast will exhaust all its energy if he keeps on hiding like that? If that guy really thinks that way, what a joke this will turn out to be.

"The Thousand Feathered Beast isn't an actual beast at all. Its energy is inexhaustible thanks to the whole Hundred Beast City. The only one who'll run out of energy is Lucius!"

Rudy listened to all of that with a calm outward expression. He might be curious as to why Fane was not attacking, but he remained calm. After all, he trusted Fane and knew there was a reason for everything he did.

However, those around Rudy did not have Rudy's calm attitude at all. The man with a mustache who was beside Fane earlier turned to look at Rudy and said curiously," Why is he not attacking? Won't it just put him at a disadvantage if he keeps on doing this? Could he just be trying to drag things out because he knows he'll lose?"

In truth, he had worded it very vaguely.

What he meant to ask was if Fane knew that he would die, and was just trying to stay alive for as long as possible.

thus turned to look at the man and answered coldly, "We've got no reason to speculate before the results are out. Just keep watching."

The man's lips twitched, swallowing back the words he was about to say.

After avoiding another attack, Fane looked up at the beast again. "It flew up again," he muttered to himself.

He had just been avoiding the

attacks, but he had also been observing the movements of the beast. He still had a question he needed an answer to.

He stopped as he grabbed his sword with both hands, slashing at the beast.

Destroying the Void turned into a black slash that flew right at the Thousand Feathered Beast.

At that moment, the crowd burst into murmurs and gasps.

"He attacked! He finally attacked! I really don't want to see the guy dying of exhaustion before he even launches a single attack!"

"Tell me about it. That'd make the battle way too boring. Only the beast was attacking, while the guy was dodging! It wasn't interesting at all!"

The gray slash traveled very quickly.

In a flash it appeared in front of the Thousand Feathered Beast. Facing Fane's attack, there was no way the beast would not move. It stretched its wings as it shot into the skies.

The slash whizzed past the Thousand Feathered Beast's claws, not hitting it at all.

Everyone heard a boom as the slash hit the barrier.
